Hello, it has been some time!

I'm coming back with a sequel to my previous (and first) story, Strange Alliance.

I wanted it to be a "new" story since we have a new departure, but, first, a warning:

This is a sequel, following Strange Alliance. If you did not read it yet, go, before you get spoiled.

And enjoy!

Phew, it's really cold. Never loved my job so much… Tatsumi thought.

After all, winter was here, and cold along with it. It was snowing, as always, and only the comings and goings of the people in the street prevented it from being obstructed by snow.

Tatsumi was absolutely not concerned by these matters, as he was working at the forge of the town… and when other people were chilling, he was sweating, forging metal and creating various objects.

The fire of the forge as well as the intense physical activity kept Tatsumi from the cold, even if the forge was outside. The small building behind him was the shop, where customers could order their needs and actually, where Tatsumi's boss was slacking.

He was not a bad guy nor a bad blacksmith, but as Tatsumi could handle most of the orders, he let him do almost all the work. As he fairly paid Tatsumi for his hard work, it didn't bother him.

Tatsumi achieved the horseshoe he was working on and removed his blacksmith apron to put on his clothes: black pants, hoodie, gloves and a heavy jacket to protect him from the cold once away from the forge's warmness.

Once ready to go, he opened the door of the shop and said:

"Boss, I'm done with the orders, I'm going home!"

A voice coming from behind the counter responded:

"Ara, already? Thanks for your hard work!"

"Concerning what we talked about…"

"Yeah, don't worry, I'll be fine. But if you take too long to come back, I'll have no choice but to find a substitute!"

"Thanks. I told you, it should be a matter of weeks."

"Take care, in that case. Kiss your wives for me!"

"Huh…"

Tatsumi let out a sigh, closed the door and left. A few days ago, he asked his boss if he could take some weeks of vacations for a trip. The man accepted at the condition that Tatsumi would finish all the orders before leaving.

Tatsumi was walking in a street where only hunters could be seen. Nothing abnormal: the town he was living in was as harsh one in a harsh country.

The whole country was invaded by Danger Beasts. As the rulers did not care in the slightest about the ones living outside of the fortresses, people had no choice but to gather in towns and fortify them. It was a land where the strong dominated.

Well, it suits Esdeath's tastes, Tatsumi thought. This way, she can hunt all her content and even get paid for that. And Akame can taste a lot of meat too.

Tatsumi smiled.

Akame and Esdeath. A former assassin and a former General, the strongest women in the world.

His wives.

He had fought the two of them, fell in love with the two of them, and eventually married them. Of course, it did not happen in one day, but through a long and bloody journey.

Finally, they had decided to leave the Empire –which was now called the Kingdom– and sailed towards another continent to the east.

What they had found was that land.

As both Akame and Esdeath were pregnant at a time, they happened to rest in a small town of hunters. But as time passed, the family set up in that town, and they happily built a routine, filled with love and joy.

This was a harsh country, a simple life, but Tatsumi and his loved ones had everything they could ever wish for.

And, in a blink of an eye, six years passed. Six years since the Empire's fall. A lot of things happened during this time…

Tatsumi was now 23. He had gained muscle through their adventures and his job, but only a few centimeters concerning his height.

Esdeath and Akame, –now respectively 26 and 22– did not change much, excepted concerning their curves…

Tatsumi eventually reached the house they occupied. It was not a big deal: a medium chalet, made in logs and with a slopped roof. They had a fireplace, a large kitchen and three bedrooms.

When Tatsumi opened the door, the warmness of the house welcomed him along with an appetizing smell.

He quickly closed the door, suspended his coat to a hanger, and walked in the living room-kitchen, summarily decorated. They were not experts in ornamentation, and only had put a carpet and some trinkets to liven up the room a bit.

"I'm home!"

"Welcome home, Tatsumi!"

Akame welcomed him cheerfully. She offered Tatsumi a delightful vision, her long black hair tied in a ponytail, wearing a pink apron with a cute bear face on it and the inscription "KUMA BEAR PUTIT-HOUSE". Under the apron, she only wore a sleeveless black dress that Tatsumi bought her the last year.

The red marks on her cheeks, her arms, and even in her eyes –sequel of her trump card Ennodzuno–, were paining her every day, but did not alter her beauty at all.

Tatsumi found himself lost in the contemplation of Akame, and same as every day, he thanked the heavens for having such a wife.

Akame, however, averted her gaze and blushed.

"D-don't look at me like this… it's embarrassing…"

Even though they had been married for six years –and thus had plenty of occasions to see each other naked–, Akame was still acting timidly as if she was still a young maiden. It did not bother Tatsumi at all. He loved Akame as she was, and that part of her was only making her cuter if possible.

He decided to tease her a bit.

"Uuh, sorry, Akame. It's because you're so beautiful, my eyes are attracted…"

Her reaction did not disappoint him. She became as red as her eyes.

"What are you saying, Tats–"

Before she could end her sentence, Tatsumi closed the gap between them and hugged her tenderly. His lips reached hers gently, and she accepted the kiss.

Akame and Tatsumi were still exchanging love and saliva when somebody interrupted them.

"Papa is kissing Mama!" exclaimed a childish voice.

The owner of the voice was a little girl who looked like a smaller version of Esdeath: long blue hair, fierce and proud look on a beautiful face along with blue eyes. Given the fact that Esdeath was her mother, it was all but normal.

Ryuu was her name. When Tatsumi objected that it was a boy's name, Esdeath stated that female dragons were as dreadful as male ones.

Like her mother, Ryuu was very energetic and did not feel cold at all. Because of that, she always wore light clothes. Today, she had opted for a white tunic.

Tatsumi separated from Akame and grinned.

"Ryuu! I'm home!"

He opened his arms, and Ryuu jumped on him with a laughter, but with such force that Tatsumi fell down on the floor.

"Uugh!"

One could've said that Ryuu's strength was abnormal for a child this age. Tatsumi had the feeling a boulder just hit him, and it was not the first time.

Tatsumi, still down, was hugging and playing happily with Ryuu when he noticed a petite silhouette in the corner.

"Nea, come on!" he encouraged her.

"W-welcome back, Papa."

Nea was the daughter of Akame. She had short black hair like her mother but inherited her father's green eyes. In top of that, she liked to wear a red headband with a long sleeve dress. She shared resemblance with Kurome and Akame, and was as cute as a doll.

If Ryuu was a fierce dragonet, Nea was a silent doll. She was quiet most of the time, but very caring and helpful.

The two girls were both 5 years old, and even if they had different mothers, they considered themselves as true sisters. To their parents' joy, despite their differences, a strong bond united them.

Her face enlightened, Nea joined Tatsumi and Ryuu.

Akame could not help but smile warmly when she saw her daughters and husband play along.

Tatsumi, seated at the table of the kitchen, was patting the heads of his daughters who were sitting on his knees.

Ryuu is growing stronger and stronger… if this goes on, one day she'll break my bones, Tatsumi thought. Nea is calm, but she got such potential…

Ryuu and Nea were daily trained by Esdeath. They all agreed the world was not a peaceful place, and they all knew too well what could happen to innocent girls.

They wanted their girls to know how to defend themselves.

Thanks to their genoa, their daughters had strong constitutions, and Esdeath's training made them the strongest girls of their ages.

Apparently, Ryuu did inherit Esdeath's resistance to the cold, but not her ice manipulation's power. Maybe it was due to change, but given the harmful influence of the Demon's Extract, Tatsumi hoped it would not.

Fortunately, Nea did not suffer from Murasame's curse, and for that, Tatsumi was happy too. Akame was always repeating that she was used to the pain of her marks, but he surprised her more than once to wince when she was alone.

"Mama, I'm hungry!" Ryuu said.

One trait they shared was the amazing appetite of Akame.

Even though Esdeath was her biological mother, Ryuu called Akame "Mama" and so did Nea with Esdeath. It caused many confusions when both Akame and Esdeath were in the same room, because only the girls knew who they were addressing to.

"I know, Ryuu, but we're waiting for Esde… for Mama."

As Ryuu was pouting, Tatsumi gently scratched her hair.

"Mama is working hard outside, so the least we can do is to wait her for dinner. You know she loves it when we eat all together."

Esdeath had become a hunter in these lands. She tracked and hunted down Danger Beasts for rewards: two birds with one stone. Her bloodlust had progressively disappeared with their happy family life, but she still loved to confront herself to powerful creatures.

Akame, on her side, was a housewife. She raised and taught their daughters at home, enjoying a peaceful existence.

"Muuu…"

Ryuu did not raise any objection.

"Dinner is ready, but be patient. She should arrive soon", Tatsumi reassured her.

"But Papa is hungry too", Nea said.

"Me? Nonsense!"

The instant Tatsumi spoke these words, his stomach gurgled.

Ryuu jumped on the occasion.

"If Papa is hungry too, can we eat now?"

"Aaah, I told you we were waiting for–"

A loud sound interrupted him, as if something extremely big just hit the ground outside. Seconds later, the door slammed.

"I'm home, honeys!"

"Mama!" exclaimed Ryuu and Nea in unison, jumping from Tatsumi's knees.

Esdeath, wearing an unladylike tenue –white undershirt, small blue skirt, high socks and boots– shook her hair from the melted snow.

Right after that, she picked up her daughters and spun around with them like spinning top.

When she finally released them, she gave them a kiss and walked to Tatsumi.

"Welcome home, Esdeath", Tatsumi smiled.

Hearing that, she also gave him a kiss, but a voracious one.

"Papa is kissing Mama too!" Ryuu pointed.

"It's because Papa is in favor of equality", Akame explained. "Esdeath, next time, shake your hair outside. You almost inundated the house…"

Esdeath released Tatsumi, leaving him panting (he could still not match their apnea abilities).

"Not even a 'welcome home', Akame? Fumu."

"As if…"

During all these years where they shared the same man, Akame and Esdeath, who had a bloody past between them, slowly came to tolerate and even like themselves.

They were not in love, but they did their best to appreciate each other, and for that, Tatsumi was grateful.

"Actually, we were waiting for you to eat. We better get to it now", Akame added, looking at Ryuu and Nea who were feigning death by starvation on the ground.

As soon as they heard these words, the girls jumped on their feet and ran to the table. Minutes later, Akame served the meal to the family.

"Akame, it's delicious", Tatsumi complimented her.

"Mama, can I have more?!" Ryuu asked.

"Mmmhmh!" Nea approved, her mouth full.

"Being a housewife sure polished your skills as a cook", Esdeath admitted.

At first, Akame was only good to dismember Danger Beasts and roast them over a fire. But in order to please Tatsumi and her family, she learned to prepare various plates.

Thanks to her efforts, the meals at home were copious and delicious, with of course a predilection for meat.

Akame bowed her head.

"I'm glad you like it…"

"By the way, Esdeath, is everything settled?" Tatsumi questioned.

"Yes. It's ready, we can leave tomorrow. And you?"

"My boss is okay to let me leave for some weeks. He's willing to let me work at the forge again when we come back."

"Leave? Where?" asked Ryuu.

Nea shot her a glance.

"To Papa's village. He told us two weeks ago. We will visit the place where Papa grew up."

"Ooh, true…"

Ryuu opened her mouth, then closed it and pondered.

"But… If I recall, Papa's place is far, far away, across the sea… how will we go there?"

"That… you will know tomorrow. We will leave at dawn" Tatsumi replied.

He gave Esdeath a smile. They both knew that if the girls were to discover their transport, they would be too excited to sleep…

"Buuuut! Unfair! I want to know!" Ryuu objected.

"Me too", Nea pleaded.

Akame made them stop by refilling their plates and Esdeath took the offensive to end the matter.

"Nothing to discuss. You will find out tomorrow. Make sure to prepare your package before you go to bed."

"Yes, Mama…" muttered the girls.

"What's wrong, Tatsumi?" asked Esdeath.

Akame, Tatsumi and her were in the king-size bed they had specially bought to fit their requirements (they still didn't do threesome but Tatsumi managed to pleasure both of them at the same time during their nights).

Esdeath –as Akame– was in underwear and –as Akame– was gently stroking his bare chest. Tatsumi had literally a girl in each arm.

Though, Esdeath had just noticed Tatsumi worried look.

"It's just that…"

He stopped mid-sentence, trying to find the right words to speak his mind.

"I'm thinking to that trip… and memories came back to me. Old… bad memories."

Akame and Esdeath remained silent.

The times Tatsumi was talking about were indeed dark ones. At these times, they were enemies. They killed relatives and friends from each other, shed blood.

The war that ravaged the Empire and gave birth to the country now called the Kingdom had marked them forever…though it also brought them together.

"I hope that… our daughters will never know the horrible things we endured", Tatsumi whispered.

"We will make sure it won't happen", Akame reassured him.

"They already are strong, and we are even stronger. We will protect them", Esdeath added. "But in my opinion, you're overthinking things, Tatsumi. From what we heard, the Kingdom is peaceful. Plus, no one would go to your village so far in North… It has been spared by the previous war, remember?"

"You're probably right. But even with this in mind, I fear the reaction of the villagers. My friends, my elders… I don't even know if they learned the death of Sayo and Ieyasu. It has been years…"

"That, you will find out when we arrive", firmly answered Akame.

She did not want Tatsumi to worry like this.

"But we have an urgent matter", she continued.

Tatsumi frowned.

"What? I didn't kno–"

Swift as a panther, Akame jumped on Tatsumi, riding him like a horse. She leaned on him, her beautiful black hair creating a curtain, only letting him see her face.

"Yes. You have to take care of me", she said in a whisper. "That's urgent."

Akame's behavior was entirely different at bed. At daylight, she acted like a pure maiden, and at nightfall in the bed, like a predator.

A predator with a famous stamina, perfect lips, and godly curves. Any man would've let this kind of predator eat them.

Esdeath sighed.

"I had him first last night, so I guess I'll let you have the first round today…"

Being able to have two wives who love me, and two adorable daughters… and I'm still worrying about things I cannot control, Tatsumi thought. I'm really hopeless.

As Akame went for the kill, Tatsumi abandoned himself to pleasure and lust, forgetting everything.

The only thing he thought about was how long he would hold before he'd cum.

This chapter is meant to describe the family life Akame, Esdeath and Tatsumi actually live. Just for you to know, the chapters will probably will smaller compared to my previous story.

If you have difficulties to imagine the girls, search for Esdeath as a child on google, and for "Nea". Nea is a character of the manga, and her appearance fits in my opinion Aka-Tatsu's child.

I'm asking you (and I always will) : tell me your thoughts in the reviews to help me to improve!

And thanks for reading me!
