Hello I really hope you all can enjoy this fan fic, it will respect all the details of the manga with different changes, yet all of them will be consulted by vote with my readers, that way you can participate in more ways than just telling me your opinions.
On a side note, This fic will contain gore, mature situations, even deeper development of the corruption inside the empire (in future chapters) as well as my favorite pairings, so yes it will be Akame x Tatsumi, but worry not, Mein will not be alone, also for those that like Najenda x Rabac, well I will have to apologize to you all, since there will be, yet it will be more Rabac x OC for the earliest chapters.
First vote:
Schere dies? Or Schere lives yet lose mobility? Or Schere doesn't die neither lose mobility?
In my opinion, Schere´s death gives Tatsumi a nice push and make him remember her kindness so he can overcome future obstacles with both kindness and determination, but since I like my readers to participate and give me obstacles so I can think about how to make the story non-repetitive and interesting for you all to see
I don't own Akame Ga Kiru! But hell I do own the OCs that appears in this fan fic, so if by some reason somebody wants to use them, please contact me first, and I will kindly lend them to you.

Chapter 1: Kill The Darkness
It was a very bright day on the road towards the empire, a couple of travelers were comfortably driving their wagon as the ground in front of them started to break making a lot of dust cover the air and a couple of Earth Dragons appeared, they looked like huge lobster-like monster, with huge claws on their hands instead of pincers, with an abominable growl they launched their attack making the travelers fear for their lives.
Suddenly and in a flash instant, a sword and a dagger ravaged the attackers' limbs cutting them off from their bodies and sending them flying with ease, blood spreading along the road from the injuries.
-First class dangerous beast, Earth Dragon, it seems to be a worthy opponent. -A young boy speak as he swing his sword to clean the blood on it, his brown messed up hair reflecting its brightness against the sun as he inspected his target with his clear-green eyes.
-Aren´t you getting too cocky, Tatsumi? –Said a green haired girl, sheathing her dagger at her side as she lowered her left hand reaching her back, right above her buttocks where a sheathed tonfa-blade was resting, her sapphire-like eyes, unlike Tatsumi, where looking at the travelers with no-interest at all for the opponent in front of her.
Her clothes consisted of a battered yellow-colored shirt and brown-leather shorts, as well as carbon-colored boots with longs black sockets that covered her white-silk colored skin. As more would have expected, she was wearing summer clothes, and very much match-making ones, but the white scarf covering her mouth and resting against the floor crushed the idea.
-Heh, don't talk as if you weren't acting too, Reira. –Tatsumi said as the dragons growled out of hatred for the two individuals that hurt them, so they prepared for a second attack using their left limb. –Here they come again.
In a swift moment, Reira, as well as Tatsumi climbed on the monster arm, with the difference that the first stabbed her weapon In its arm, while the later ran on top of it reaching its neck before cutting it, instead after stabbing its arm, Reira ran imitating Tatsumi while almost severing the beast arm making it move to try to make her fell, but letting her get an appropriate space in which she could jump and do several slashes ravaging the whole body of the beast, making the two of them fall in an instant before sheathing their weapons.
-That was great youngsters! –The travelers approached to praise them for their victory.
-That was nothing for me, by the way, my name is Tatsumi, you should remember it well since it will become legendary in the near future. –said Tatsumi puffing his chest to look as great as he could, before…
"As the one that can´t hunt dinner properly and makes girls do that instead." Reira added making fun of last night events as she had to dive into the river to get their dinner.
"Hey keep that out!" Shouted Tatsumi as one of the travelers, looking sour press his hand on the man shoulder.
"Are you telling me that you will try to make it big in the Capital, Young man?" He asked, a look of full worry showing in his face.
"Yeah, after all that is the dream of all country men." he declared showing his determination in that instant.
"Then let me warn you, there are monsters more dangerous that those Earth Dragons in there." He declared out of worry for the couple of adventurers.
"There is nothing to worry sir; after all I am here to protect this little hot-head." Reira interrupted while pressing Tatsumi´s head down with her hand in the process, clearly making more fun of him.
Looking at the successive reactions between them, the merchants downed their heads a little, like saying "we have warned you, be careful" before saluting them and leave, letting the fighting couple alone and return to their walk.
While they were travelling, once again Tatsumi peeked at the girl softly, remembering the events way in the past, as he got separated from his friends, as he found this person unconscious on a side of the road as if she was attacked by bandits, how he feel when she woke up hungry, and how delighted she was when he shared his little food with the little twister, nickname he gave to her as she ravaged food like nothing, specially fishes, yet for anything beside all he knew about her due the travelling, was a mystery, yes, he knew her ambitions, but her actions sometimes spoke the contrary on him, as she said she was going to protect him out of nowhere, he thought that maybe, she didn't know what to do actually and was only following him.
Tatsumi was very deep into those thoughts about his companion that gained a stomp on his feet due because Reira had fallen in taking his attention before.
"Hey, cut it already!" He yelled angrily yet all he received was the girl pointing towards the road.
"I have been telling you that we are here already, stupid" She smiled while saying this, and that made Tatsumi angrier but all those feelings disappeared when he looked in front of him looking at the capital entrance and streets.
"Whoa…"
Those were Tatsumi´s words as he lost himself in the colours of the street and civilization it was, for country people a sight to recognize as marvelous, lively and clean, as one from the country would expect, even Reira was interested in the people and place where these two will start to make a live as soldiers.
It took them a few minutes to return from the marvelous sight of the city, but as they did, they quickly stampeded towards the gate to reach the capital, it was a few kilometers from where they could see it, being honest, but for them, it was nothing, just the end of their exhausting journey.
Tatsumi panted softly as he crossed the gate at the same time as Reira, both of them trying hard to take in some air, it clearly fascinated them to no extent that he would hug the girl at his side and laugh as a person that returns from war to his home, yet he managed to restrain himself, who knows how will she react to such show of affection.
"Tatsumi…" Reira´s soft voiced called his name while she also tried to catch some air. "I will go to see for a place to stay tonight, you should better check out where we need to enter in the army, just try to not do anything stupid like getting in a fight, ok?"
Reira´s voiced was calm, yet a little agitated from all that running, not to mention that they had to save travelers and those weren't the first ones the couple meet today, so they were pretty much exhausted at the time being.
Tatsumi simply nodded and taking a deep breath regained enough strength to lift himself up then he waved his hand to Reira.
"Take care Reira, let's meet here in two or three hours, ok?" Reira smiled softly and departed to search as he walked around looking for the place where people apply for the Army, but they didn't realize, that somebody was looking at them, while drinking a cup of coffee, and hearing their plans for the future.
It took Tatsumi a while to find said place, it was a big house with a flag and right up the front door, it had a shield and two swords crossing it as decorations, yet, it took much less than that time to get expelled from said place, as he let his ego take the best of him, and drawing his sword in that place yelled, "I don't have time for that, test my skills I am sure and make me a Commander in charge", earning just one kick out of the place, and a permanent ban to his dream in the Army, also, as he also said, "I came here with my friend Reira Hirai" first, he maybe, made things for the girl worse, since the ban would also affect her.
When this thought came to his mind, he could feel his sweat, he was in a very dangerous problem as he imagined how the girl would react to all that, in a fashion only known as Reira-style, he would be humiliated, depraved, and when he was in agony killed on the spot.
"Hey youngster" A feminine voice called him out of his wave of thoughts making him turn around, and instantly blush as he saw the attire that covered a yellow haired woman, which was bending pressing her hands on her knees, showing a little more of her already revealing cleavage, which made the poor guy disconnect from real world for a while. "Do you want to list for the army, right?"
"Uhm…" Tatsumi only could nod as he was thinking about her breasts, he was already thinking that all the women in this place had similar body development, unlike her village, the Capital was full of surprises, he thought. Also, she seemed to be a very likeable person, and that make things better for him, as a ray of hope in his almost impending doom.
"Then let me help you, but as a favor, treat this One-san a meal" She added gently smiling with radiance only made for saviors of people and almost instantly she moved with him into a Pub, it was an old place with simple wooden tables, yet the smell of alcohol was clearly topping the air, Tatsumi could figure that this place became really lively at night, on the other side…
"Ahhh!" Leone gulped flask after flask of beer with ease, clearly looking like a drunken maiden by this very moment, her cheeks where red and her yellowish eyes carried the little blur that fully indicates a drunken person, Tatsumi wondered how she was capable of forming words correctly as she spoke to him. "Man, beer right in the middle of the day really hits the spot, come on youngster, drink too" Leone said lifting a cup of alcohol offering it to Tatsumi.
"No thanks, I am only here because you promised to tell me how I could enter in the Imperial Army, my life is on the stake right now, if my partner find out what I did" He answered moving her offering hand to the side, trying to sound polite, but carrying words of a desperate man.
"Well it is rather easy. All you need is money and communications" –Leone said while drinking more alcohol with the same ease. "I have a contact in the imperial army; if I pay enough money to him I can make you Captain in no-time"
"Really!?" He exclaimed and immediately pulled a bag full of gold from his belongings and slammed it on the table. "Will this be enough?"
Leone scanned the crazy amount of money Tatsumi carried, clearly, he was a country boy, he had no idea of what could happen to a person carrying such amounts of money as if it were nothing rare, usually, the slums would gather around him, and try to get that money with any necessary means, and they would be very persistent in that feat, on the other hand, her methods where more sublime and calm.
"Ohh, that will really do the thing!" She exclaimed falsely to him, showing real interest in the amount he carried.
"We got it from our travel towards the empire; we did some errands, like eradicating dangerous beasts." He explained as he gave her the money.
"So, it seems you two are strong, right?" She asked clearly sensing some strength from the boy´s body, some kind of pure aura that possessed both warm and strength. "Well I will be taking my leave, wait for me here I will return to inform you later, ok?"
Tatsumi nodded as she was leaving, his thoughts were focusing in his luck mostly. He got a partner to travel, a very likeable girl that offered him protection and was a matter of really funny times, he arrived to the capital safe, well he couldn't enter in the army by the normal process, but now, he would do it, and obtaining the title of captain, it was a really good day for the most part of it, yet he was forgetting about something, very essential. This was the capital, not his village. She was a total stranger, not his family.
Hours passed as he remained there waiting patiently for Leone arrival, yet she never came, and it was only when the waiter told him about the hour that light descended upon him, he had been deceived.
"I will report her to the police!" He yelled as he was trying to leave the Pub.
"That won´t work, the one at fault is the person that was deceived so easily, I still can´t believe you thought she was saying the true." The waiter replied softly with a calm look in his eyes that confirmed the police won't help him.
Depressed and infuriated Tatsumi started to wander the street of the capital, yet, he also felt sad and guilt, he would understand if karma paid his well behavior and arrogance this much, but, he also offered the money Reira worked so hard to achieve, basically, he threw away her future too and to make things even worse…
"Tatsumiiii" A feminine voice called his name from behind, it sounded exhausted but the voice was very familiar.
It was hers.
Tatsumi gulped saliva as she approached him, looking really happy, it seemed that Reira completed her part of the mission completely without problems, well, with the problem that he, the one that should have all their money, got it stolen by a pair of breasts. He stuttered as she approached him at really high speed and gave him a hug, making it more difficult for him to deal with his guilt.
-R-Reira, how was your part? –He asked trying to not let his anger, resentment and fear leak out.
Reira smiled at him softly, she always did the same when she achieved all things correctly, as well as she looked gloomy when she couldn`t do something well, but now, that smiling face of her, made things really difficult for him.
"Everything was completed well; I paid the registration fee for the Hotel, now we only need to…"
Tatsumi stopped her speaking by deeply bowing in front of her, which made her instantly recognize that something was bad.
"I am sorry; I got scammed and lost all the money we had!"
The way Tatsumi could formulate those words so fast, and the quick pace of his short speech made Reira tilt her head in confusion while she analized the message, Tatsumi on the other hand, was simply desiring her to satisfy her anger on him any time soon, but it never came, instead she simply turned around, giving her back to him.
"You are going to leave now, right? Well that way you wont have to deal with me and my stupidity, it was fun being your partner though" Tatsumi thought as he looked at her actions, realizing she was walking away from him with slow pace and clearly having an infuriated face, but as soon as he heard laugh he proved, she was even crazier than he expected.
"Hahahaha!" Reira couldn't stop herself as she started to laugh at his friend misfortune, making the swordsman worry about her health, but soon she calmed down and again approached him. "If you lost the money we only need to make more, it is not a big deal we only need to sleep out tonight, and tell me, how many days we have been doing that Tatsumi"
"But aren't you mad at me? I lost our money!" He was a bit bewildered by her carefree behavior, being honest, she looked like an entirely different person to him at the moment, and he wondered what she was thinking at the very moment.
"Look, we can hate each other for everything that happens Tatsumi, I swear to protect you due your kind-self, and I am sure that kindness of you is going to be repaid in the future" She assured him giving a little smile with enough feelings to melt an ice mountain. "Well then let's look for a place to stay Tatsumi" She added finally offering her hand to him.
At the moment somebody else spoke to them asking the couple to wait, as they looked at the source of that voiced, they found a girl with yellow hair, she looked like an heir of a noble family and her actions reflected all kind of grace within her, she presented herself as Aria as she was escorted by two powerful looking soldiers, it was easy to assume those fact, at first Reira had a mischievous thought "Now we can kidnap miss noble and ask for money", but upon hearing her next words her concern was placed on Tatsumi, as she already knew what kind of words he would use next.
"We would gladly accept your offer" They said in unison, Reira sighed at the end of the sentence knowing how kind-hearted his partner was, but unknowing if he was aware of future traps, well at least she was with him now. So, what could possibly go wrong?
They both entered in the carriage in which the noble girl transported, Reira was deeply looking at her for any sight of evil, but found none, maybe she was actually a good girl looking after people in the Capital, well it didn't took her to down her guard and tried to close her eyes, without knowing she felt asleep.
Tatsumi, on the other hand, enjoyed the travel upon the manor as he also expected the girl was a noble, and she seemed to be very kind, which made him rest assured, he felt a little pressure in his shoulder and looked by his side, to meet the sleeping face of his self-said guardian, this sight made him smile softly at her petting her head.
"It seems you two get along very well" Aria said holding an innocent smile in her face.
"Yes we do, we have our fights, but normally we can get along well, on the other hand, as I was saying…" Tatsumi continued talking with her, he knew already that normal voices wouldn't wake up his partner, so he didn't bothered, also he wanted to know about his friends, if they were still alive, also if they were in the capital, but Aria politely answered by recommending him to ask her father at the manor.
It was pretty late at night when they finally arrived at the manor, a very old man was smiling at the front door wearing a night gown commonly used by people when they needed to get up late, in his hands he was holding two candles, ones to light himself and the other to offer to his guest, in some way, he had been informed that Tatsumi and Reira were on their way to the manor with his daughter.
As they stopped one of the soldiers took Reira out of the carriage and carried her to the entrance, the soldier really wondered how the girl could sleep so much with that much movement, but without problems carried his task while Tatsumi held his desires to laugh at the scene they were making and instead he walked alongside Aria´s father talking to him about his friends, and about his reasons to reach the capital.
"I see, you have passed a lot of trials it seems, yet I believe that you were lucky of finding a partner during your travel, roads at this time are not an easy matter" He said softly patting Tatsumi´s shoulder. "Tomorrow I will talk with some contacts I have in the army, maybe I can arrange some spot for you and the young girl" He added.
"Thank you very much" Tatsumi replied bowing to him, while Aria smiled softly.
"Tatsumi, I am known for having good hunches, I can asure you that you will be meeting your friends really soon" She said placing her hands on her back and offering him with more smiles.
"Oh" He replied clearly motivated due those assumptions, at least everything in his life was going according to his plan.
It was almost 2 or 3 in the morning when Reira woke up; she still had a line of saliva in her mouth due her pleasurable sleep, yet what made her get up from her comfortable bed, wasn't the strange place, wasn't the uncommon senses it was something more pure, hunger.
"Uhmm, I should have eat when I was looking for Tatsumi" She said hugging her stomach as it made another sound too unlikely of a maiden, not that she cared about it, but other people would, probably.
She walked out of the door into a corridor, the house was pretty dark since it was the middle of the night already, but thankfully the corridor had windows showing the almost full red moon outside, it gave her both some bright to see the floor, as well as her surroundings and also it gave her a beautiful sight which she deeply admired.
With another grunt of her stomach Reira remember her purpose to be outside her bed at that moment and began to wander around the house, she was literally walking guided by her nose, trying to locate food as if she were some kind of wild animal and finally achieving her objective, as a quite sweet scent reached her nostrils.
It smelt like fish, one of her favorite dishes, if not her favorite, she slowly walked towards that scent sniffing the air from time to time to be sure she wasn't lost, she also thought as she walked that the place was ridiculously huge, something about the family that gave them a roof wasn't right for her, it was not common of rich people to be kind to strangers, let alone a group of adventurers that consisted in an overconfident boy and a girl whose clothes were battered as if she never changed them, not that she did though.
Reaching the kitchen, or that is what she thought, she could feel that she wasn't alone there, yet the darkness of the room proved it quite difficult to find something there, but she didn't want to wake up anybody so she braced herself to go further trying to look for something just by sniffing.
"If Tatsumi were to see me, he would joke saying I am more like a dog than a human" she said to herself as she moved in the darkness, but something wasn't right, she was sure, someone else was inside of the kitchen with her.
With her ears she picked a sound, subtle and fragile, but uncomforting as well, it was the sound of somebody who is slowly opening a pair of scissors to cut paper, but it wasn't all there was to it, it was what continued the sound that made her skin panic.
It was, killing intent.
Reira fastly enough ducked as she sensed a few strains of her hair being cut, somebody really was there in the middle of that darkness, somebody that could see her well enough to try to kill her, but why? What had she done?
The next thing she did was to roll to her side dodging the swing of what she interpreted as a sword, which also destroyed the place where her food seemed to be, as plates and cups were also destroyed, the next thing she heard were multiple swings which indicated her that she needed to get out of there really quick.
"This person is crazy" She thought as she literally jumped over a table while running in order to evade her pursuer and in hope to reach the door towards the corridor.
"I am sorry" A voice said softly, it was a voice with no killing intent at all, yet it was the voice of her pursuer which added to her fear a bit more.
Crashing towards the door to destroy it and pass to a brightened place Reira could finally get who her pursuer was, it was a girl with long purple hair and eyes, who was wearing a Chinese dress adjusting her chest area a little and a pair of glasses, yet what was frightening was the expressionless face she had, and a big pair of scissors that had some blood in their edges.
Reira wondered why her pursuer stopped hunting her as she didn't have her weapons in her at the moment and would be an easy target for her to eliminate, was the hunch she was having about the family that gave them a roof true?
Yet what happened next made her feel like a fool and almost fell to a side as the person with the big pair of scissors deeply bowed making the killing intent disappear.
"I-I am sorry" Scheele said as she bowed to her. "I was supposed to kill the family members and mistook you for one, I am sorry" She added making Reira tilt her head in total confusion.
"Are you really stupid!?" She yelled as she was almost killed by her a minute ago.
Reira fell on her knees as her hunger increased due to the little run or I kill you game she played a few minutes ago, her stomach making sounds as if it had started to eat itself, this made Scheele giggle a little as she handed her a piece of dry meat.
"I have a partner that always gets hungry while travelling, you resemble her a little" She said as Reira nearly gnarled her hand with the piece of meat.
"So can you explain me the real thing here, I was having a hunch to not trust this people, but I have somebody I promised to follow and I am here just for that reason" Reira said while finishing the piece of meat.
Suddendly lot of screams were heard and as soon as Reira looked at the ones causing the commotion Scheele disappeared from her side to somewhere, yet now, lot of people had started a one-side massacre outside, by the hand of a girl with black hair and red eyes, wielding a sword, a guy that used an armor and wielded a spear, a pink haired loli, clearly a tsundere she thought, that wield a gun. At least Tatsumi wasn't there to make things worse, but knowing his behavior he wouldn't last long to jump into action and that made her run towards her room to grab her weapons.
Tatsumi, a few hours earlier
Tatsumi was sitting on a couch in the living room, resting a little after dinner while he heard the conversations the grow-up people made, Reira had been for an entire day of sleeping so she would be pretty much hungry when she woke up, it wasn't the first time she didn't sleep for a whole time and then slept a whole day, it always happened when they travelled on the road and couldn't reach a village to rest there, she would fake that she was asleep and then stay up all night while he slept, then he would have to honor her by letting her sleep the whole day without problem at sight, even carry her on his back proved to be quite useful for training as she would remain asleep no matter what.
He decided to get up and make some food for her; after all she would be starving after a whole day of not eating anything so he entered in the kitchen and lurked around what to make her for food. Aria on the other hand, decided to offer him a hand as she seemed to be interested in Tatsumi, as he had escorted her in her trip around the city, she decided to help him too.
"You should make fish and rice, it is a standard dish and she will enjoy it" She said smiling at him softly, and then she started to leave. "I will be going, it is already late and I have some matters to attend tomorrow, try to not be awake all night making dinner for your girlfriend" She joked a little before leaving while giggling at the infuriated boy.
"She is not my girlfriend!" he yelled, but then he continued making her dinner, putting a little of emotion in his actions.
After making her dinner Tatsumi left the kitchen and headed to his room, he needed to sleep a little or he would be exhausted tomorrow and upon reaching his bed he rested his head on it and tried to close his eyes, yet a similar feeling invaded him as he gasped at the moonlight seeing a group of people standing on what seemed to be threads that shone with the moon. He recognized them from the wanted posters he saw today the infamous group called Night Raid, whose member carried assassinations to people with money and authority of out nowhere.
Tatsumi saw a group of guards try to fight them get killed without mercy and his worries landed on the only person that couldn't defend herself, Aria, so he instantly grabbed his sword and ran looking for her.
Reira
"Tatsumi don't do anything stupid, please" Reira thought after equipping her weapons at her respective sheaths, as she dashed as fast as her legs could let her, glancing window after window as she knew that his partner would do something rather stupid as trying to fend off the assassins, they were levels higher than her and him.
Upon seeing the silhouette that she recognized pretty well she jumped crashing the window and then landing on the ground she continued her path to reach him as he started to exchange blows with Akame, or rather said, she was already exhausting the young swordsman with ease and grace, rare to find such elegance in an assassin.
Akame swiftly made horizontal and vertical cuts that attempted to corner Tatsumi who tried his best to evade them, yet he was reaching the limit of his forces as one last swing of Murasame throw his sword into the air making him be totally open for the final blow.
"Like I would let you!" Reira echoed making Akame jump backwards to evade her tonfa-blade, yet wearing her normal deadpan face.
"You are not an enemy, but if you wish to interrupt me I will kill you and him" She declared and Reira understood that she was an opponent they couldn't take no matter how hard they tried.
"I understand, actually I was hoping to evade you all, we were attacked by your group out of nowhere and we don't really know your motives" She declared while Aria tensed up at her words and Tatsumi wanted to hit her partner for running away.
"Reira, we have to protect these people, they are giving us a roof and helping us" He yelled at her but after fighting the assassin his forces were null.
"Do you really think that young man?" Another voice came from the little forest that was surrounding them; it was the same girl that had scammed the money from him last day.
"Eh? Ah! You are the big breast that stole our money!" He yelled pointed at Leone.
"What are you trying to imply?" Reira asked sheathing her tonfa-blade.
"We have some free time so let me show you two" She stated as she approached the door of the storehouse and delivered a kick to it breaking it to pieces, then the couple approached her and were terrified at the sight. "This is the true darkness of the capital" Leone said.
The sight of the bodies being tortured with whips was already disgusting for a trained person, but this madness was almost impossible to bear, people where caged and had their bodies infected with different diseases, their skin was curled up and showed mark of the Black Death, also other bodies where dismembered and some of the people that where on the surgery tables were still alive and crying weakly as their strength were quickly leaving their bodies, also some bodies where chopped as if they were being used to feed the animals the household had.
What shocked Tatsumi more than this sight was the person that was chained to the ceiling in front of him, she was one of his friends that were travelling with him, and she was Sayo.
"Who did this to her?" He asked loss for words to describe such massacre to her body.
"The household of this place disguised themselves as good Samaritans and then killed people that came from the capital for pleasure, the guards knew about this but did nothing to stop them so they were guilty" Leone explained as she gaze to another side, not bearing to look at the same scene anymore.
Meanwhile they were shocked with such sight, Aria managed to move towards the dead corpse and grabbed the machinegun it carried pointing it towards them.
"Stop right there you all" She demanded as she readied herself to shoot.
"No you won´t" Stated Reira who in no time had dashed towards her and sliced her fingers off with ease, washing herself in her blood as It flew to the air.
"Ah, please, I didn't know anything, I swear it" Aria stated begging for mercy while looking at Tatsumi.
Tatsumi remained motionless, looking at the dead body of his friend, but another weak voice took him out of his hypnosis, as he looked to his side finding his other friend, Ieyasu, who was totally naked with clear marks of the Black Death already taking place in his body, meaning he was alive only by pure will.
"T…Tatsumi" He cried softly while moving against the bars of his cell reaching out trying to try to grab his friend hands.
"Ieyasu?" He replied dumb folded looking at him trying to think that everything was a nightmare.
"Tatsumi, that girl, killed Sayo, she tortured her to death" He cried weakly while the strength of his legs left his body; making him fall to the floor.
"What is wrong with that!?" Yelled Aria as she backed away, leaving the grasp of Reira who was holding her arm. "THEY ARE PUNKS OF THE COUNTRY, SAME AS CATTLE, NOBODY SHOULD WORRY ABOUT WHAT I DO TO THEM!" She continued.
Without moving Leone and Akame simply stared at her, knowing her end was near, they simply wanted it to happen quickly and as Akame unsheathed her katana to end her life Tatsumi dashed towards Aria and with a simply cut divided her body in two out of rage.
"I know how much he despised her, but to kill her with no doubt" Leone thought as looking at the pair thinking about hiring them for their assassination group.
"That is our Tatsumi, it felt great" Said Ieyasu but then splurted blood covering his mouth with his hand meaning his life was reaching its end.
"Ieyasu!" Tatsumi called out as he came back to his friend side, which Leone had already freed from the cell, laying him on the ground so he could end his life at his friend side.
"The final stage of the Black Death, he can´t be saved" Akame said without showing any emotion towards the dead-corpse that was Ieyasu.
Reira simply looked at her partner with pity and worry, he was a very kind person that didn't deserve the pain he was experimenting at the moment, then she turned to face Leone.
"Is there a possibility for me to enter in your group?" She asked clenching her hands making them fist while gripping her weapon hard.
"I actually wanted to hire both of you, our base is always shorthanded so a couple of assassins will fit perfectly in our ranks" Leone declared gripping Tatsumi by his collar and dragging him with her.
"Waaahh, wait I need to make graves for them" He declared as Leone dragged him towards the others assassins in their group.
"Tatsumi I will come for them later, don't worry" Reira assured as Leone gave Tatsumi to Bulat
"Bulachii, we are bringing them to our base, can you take them with you" Leone said happily as the man that wore the greyish armor grabbed the pair and positioned them in his shoulder.
"Don't worry, everything is going to be better" He said to Tatsumi as a flower background could be seen, making Tatsumi believe the one inside the armor was gay.
"Mission accomplished, we are departing" Akame ordered as all of them jumped into the shadows to disappear in the middle of the night.
