Prologue:The Sairento

What if before meeting the Night Raid members... There was another group of assassins targeting Tatsumi? A group focused on finding peace within the Capital, this group is known as The Sairento. Their name meaning silent comes from no one knowing anything about them. That's because they have mastered working from the shadows, this organization is rumored to be filled with people who use sacred weapons known as Anchi Buki. These weapons are also rumored to have powers that match that of a Teigu...

Five members are gathered in a forest not far from the capital.

Chapter 1: Kill the Innocent

"Tsume? what are we doing here?" The black hair girl asked.
"Senkō? Were you asleep again? We're here to investigate that boy!" Tsume pointed at the short brown-haired boy, walking through the forest. "Well this can't be the boy!" Tsuyo yelled "I mean look at him he's got as much strength as a cockroach." Tsuyo smirked. Fushō smiled, she loved seeing Tsuyo get all fired up "Wait! Look!" Senkō yelled. Everyone jumped to their feet, they all followed Senkō's gaze to a wagon going down the road. At this moment Tsume got a feeling in his gut. He's had this feeling before, it was the feeling of evil, darkness, and worst murder. It's one of his Anchi Buki's powers, it allowed him to sense evil intent. It was a claw like weapon which he named Akkan (Sense of Evil). The ground below them began to rumble and shake "DAMN! Now what?" Tsume shouted in his head, when an Earth Dragon exploded from the ground in front of the carriage. The sound of the men shouting could be heard from miles around, Tsume's weapon began to vibrate feeling the intent to kill from the Earth Dragon (Which looked more like a giant bug than a dragon). One of the men that had guarded the carriage was now on the run for his life. "We have to help him!" Tsuru pleaded. "It's fine we'll see what the boy can do. Just be patient." Tsume raised a hand to stop the advance, the five members watched as the boy they had trailed finally emerged from behind the trees. In almost an instant he slices the Earth Dragon down, "That power he must be the one that girl we found was talking about..." Tsume smiled "Well it seems we're not needed here let's head back to The Hideout" he winked at his comrades. Senkō cocked an eyebrow in confusion "What about the boy?" Tsume began to walk away when he stopped and said "Trust me we'll see him again. For now we got another target, lets head back and discuss battle plans."

Later that night...
Three members of The Sairento gathered outside a mansion, surrounded by what looked like a forest. Tsume and Senkō were discussing plans while Onpa was sitting on his Anchi Buki watching the target's house. Onpa's weapon was named Myakudo Ongaku (Pulsing Music). It looked like a giant speaker with the number 8 written on the sides, with wires coming out of the speaker and attached to Onpa's body and headphones. Onpa was about 18, wore a punk shirt, baggy pants, and black shoes. Onpa looked back at Tsume "I can tell he's not happy about having to kill that girl... Mabey I should do it?" he thought to himself. Onpa smiled cause he knew that Tsume had a soft spot for girls, when he looked up he could see one of the targets through the window. It was a blonde woman walking down the hallway with a book in her hands "Hay, guys! we got movement." The three had been there earlier to set up an open window on the first floor, after making their way in they slowly walked up stairs. What waited down the hall wasn't expected at all. The woman had already been cut into pieces by a woman in glasses holding giant scissors, "Shit! is that Night Raid?" Senkō asked.

Tsume wasn't focused on the woman but on the figures standing outside the window. There was no doubt in his mind that was Night Raid. This wasn't the first time they've run into each other, and Tsume couldn't stand them or the way they operate. But he never killed some one who Akkan didn't sense was evil, and they shared a common goal. Peace for the Capital. Tsume looked back to see Tatsumi, the boy they were trailing earlier stand there "What's he doing here? Could this get any worse?" The boy shook his head trying to clear his thoughts. Senkō poked his shoulder, she pointed out the window. Tsume followed her finger to some body guards running outside "I see..." Tsume said. He looked back at Onpa "This is our chance let's find the rest of the targets. Leave the guards to them." Then the three began to track down the targets. Running further down the hall they pass Leone who was already in the process of choking one of the targets "Damn! That only leaves the girl." Tsume increased in speed tracking the girl. He spotted the girl and her body girl making a run for a warehouse "Ha! Can't run or hide from Akkan!" Tsume laughed to himself.

He looked over at Tatsumi just in time to be used as a launch pad "Focus, focus, focus, focus..." Tsume kept repeating to himself. Akame had just made it to the girl and was ready to kill her when Tatsumi stepted in to save her "Great... Now I lose the target and the boy. This is not my day." Tsume whined to himself, Akame and Tatsumi were clashing swords and doing flips. When Akame stabbed him in the chest with her katana "NOOO!" Tsume yelled. Tatsumi lied there but not dead. He stood up and pulled a statue out of his vest "The guys from the Village protected me." Tatsumi laughed. "That lucky bastard!" Tsume smirked, But Akame was running at him again when Leone pulled her away "Hold up." She yanked her away. "what're you doing?" Akame confusingly asked "We still have time, right?" She smiled down on the girl. "I owe this young lad a favor." Tatsumi got the face of realization and pointed at her and yelled "You're the BOOB...!" At this sentence Tsume shook his head in shame at what he had herd. "Yep, the beautiful Onee-san from that time!" Leone winked, but her expression changed in an instant "Young lad..." she started walking towards the warehouse doors "You told us not to kill an innocent girl, but can you still say that after seeing this?" And with powerful strength she kicked the door down. And with it came a powerful smell that almost knocked Tsume out. Inside was an image that could never be unseen Bodies hanging from the celing, people locked in cages, and tortured men and women of all ages. "I think I'm going to hurl..." Tsume said, Senkō slapped him in the back of the head "Grow a pair you baby! This isn't the first time you've seen this." unfortunately that was true Tsume and Senkō had seen thing such like this multiple times. Tsume was brought back to earth with Tatsumi's screaming "What is THIS!" the boy started to panic. Tsume knew all to well of what these people were doing, they would lure country folk here and torture and kill them for pure fun. Things got even worst when a boy locked in a cell called Tatsumi's name. Tatsumi face turned pale like a ghost "Ieyasu!?" Tatsumi choked out. "That girl did this to me..." Ieyasu reached for Tatsumi. "Ieyasu?... That name... NO it couldn't be! He's one of the boys I've been searching for!" Tsume looked at his feet then at the girl Leone held in her hands "That sadistic bitch did this to him. What am I going to tell-" Tsume's thought was interupted by the girl who started shouting "What's so wrong!? You're just worthless hicks from the country, right!? I should be free to treat them however I WANT! The same as Cattle!" Suddenly Akkan began to shake rapidly. It's absorbing all the darkness from that girl. "Sorry for getting in the way Akame." Leone steped out-of-the-way, Akame just replied with "ELIMINATE". "WAIT!" To everyone's surprise it was Tatsumi, "Tatsumi?..." Tsume to shocked to say anything eles. Tatsumi stepped forward with no expression on his face "I'll KILL HER!" and with that Tatsumi sliced her in half. "Can't say I blame him though... But, DAMN!" Tsume scratch the back of his head. Tsume heard a loud "HACK" come from the cell, "Ah, so he was drugged... I see he don't have long." Senkō had medical knowledge so she can tell if someone is about to die. "Drugged?" Tatsumi ran to his dear friend. "If only Chiryo was here..." Tsume hated seeing young people dieing "You know..." Ieyasu coughed "I never did find Sayo. But it's cool I know you'll find her" Tatsumi began to tear up "So for my death, this Ieyasu-Sama here will... Keep it real" He bawled his fist with a smile on his face. "That's a real man there." Onpa stated, "Living on just sheer will-power alone, not to mention he pretty much laughed death in the face." Tatsumi looked up and said "What's wrong with the capital?..." he cried out. Akame walked away saying "Let's go" Leone wasn't leaving with out the boy "Why don't we bring him back with us?" She grabbed the boy by the collar and started to drag him away "The hide out is always short-staffed." Tatsumi tried fighting her off screaming "Lemme GO! I have to dig his grave." Tsume had just remembered "Shit! We're supposed to bring him back with US!" Tsume yelled out "wait a second" Leone and Akame stopped and stared for a second before saying "If it's about your tar-" Leone was cut off mid sentenced "No we need him!" Tsume pointed at, Tatsumi. Leone winked "Sorry, but we saw him first." And ran off with him.
"Now what do we do? We can't go back empty-handed..." Senkō trailed off, "We follow them!" Tsume proclaimed...

Three Days Later at the Night Raid hideout...
Tatsumi sat at Ieyasu's grave remembering the pact him and his friends made before leaving the Village. "It's... just me now." Tatsumi then remember something his friend's dying words was "I never did find Sayo..." those words kept repeating in his mind. "I will find Sayo! I have to." Suddenly something big and
soft laid on his head, when he looked up it was Leone who had her breasts laying on his head. Tatsumi's face turn bright red, in a dramatic fashion he backed away yelling "What're you doing all the sudden!". Leone sighed "Don't sulk forever" Leone smiled "It's been three days since then. Have you made your decision to become a part of Night Raid?". Tatsumi face turn red yelling "Like I said, I-" Leone patted him on the head "I think you have talent for murder though" still patting the boy on the head "Onee-San guarantees it.".

Meanwhile back with Tsume and Onpa...
"That's it all right. No mistaking that giant building." Tsume pointed at the mountain tall hide out, with the Night Raid logo at the top. "Have they ever thought of hiding the damn place." Onpa sighed, "And this is our competition too.". They continued walking until they came across some sting sitting in the middle of the road "This is their security?" Tsume asked. "I think we should play aroud a bit, don't you?" Onpa turned the knob on his Myakudo Ongaku. "Have you ever use two cans and a string to talk to people?"
"No"
"Well it works by the string carring the vibrations to the other can." Onpa smiled.
"So, that means what?"
"Have you hit something really hard and have the vibrations go up your arms?"
"Yeah, I see what you're saying." Onpa grabbed the wire, and a low hmmmm began to emit from it. "Now that I think about it... If they have the security out that means Najenda is back." Tsume could hear the foot steps coming towards them at high-speed. "I wish Senkō was still here..."

Thanks for reading I will update every week or so, but on a occasion I'll update after a few days.
I know there isn't much character development, but as the chapters progress you'll learn about the members of Sairento. They aren't black' n white as they might seem. I also take Anchi Buki ideas if you have any. Have a happy week (;
