Kill The Journal

(thoughts)
"(speech)

Late at night, Najenda was making her regular nightly rounds, around the new Night Raid hideout. She always made sure to check the perimeter and traps that were set and active to respond to any trespassers in the vicinity. As she was doing this, she would also check on the remaining members rooms.

Going to the other side of the hideout, where her comrade's quarters were she decided to look into Akame's room first which not to her own surprise was empty. (I guess Akame felt like spending the night in Leone's room again.) She thought to herself.

When she went to Leone's room not to her surprise she could see both Leone and Akame sleeping together cuddling each other sisterly. Seeing two of her most powerful female duo in that position put a small smile on her face.

Once she was done checking up on Akame and Leone, she caught a glimpse of a petite pink-haired girl in Tatsumi's quarters. Slowly opening the door, Mine turned to the newcomer in the room. Najenda noticed that Mine's face looked as if she was lost in her thoughts and her eyes looked worried, ready to cry her eyes out. But before she asked Mine answered first.

"Hey Boss, doing your night checks already?" with a sad tone in her voice. "Yes I am, but I'm almost done, but what are you doing in Tatsumi's room instead of your own Mine and why so late?" She asked. Mine began to turn beet-red by the quick question.

"W-w-w-w-ell you s-s-see boss since he left I been sort of worried about the country bumpkin." Mine stuttered. Najenda could notice the red painted on Mine's cheeks with a sly grin "Hmm…. worried you say or do you miss your beloved that much and wish the mission was over already."

Mine's face burst into an even brighter shade of red to the remark and just turning fiercely away and looked out the window.

"Hey boss, do you think that Tatsumi is alright." She said softly so only Najenda could hear. Najenda walked up to the window and stared up to the full moon that was shining brightly.

With a confident smile she looked down to Mine and answered, "Of course, he's part of Night Raid and he has shown great progress with his short time with us." Najenda continued

"Bulat once told me that Tatsumi has a lot of potential despite his age and very soon he would become stronger than himself someday. I almost see a lot of Bulat in Tatsumi already due to his dedication to Night Raid. He has overcome so much in a short period of time to become the man he is today. It's a pity that Bulat passed away before he got to see how right he was about Tatsumi's growth. He would be so proud of the things Tatsumi has accomplished in these past months."

Mine looked to Najenda as she described their fallen comrade and comparing him to Tatsumi. "I believe Tatsumi wanted to live up to Bulat's expectations putting his life on line and showing he's not that naïve young man that we met not too long ago that killing is a sin."

"Mine I want you to know that he will be fine you have to have faith in your lover, right?" Najenda looked to Mine with a grin.

Mine was flustered she had forgotten that earlier she and Tatsumi had become a couple and have been together for only a few months. Blushing madly, Mine answered."Well I do believe in him boss it's just I don't want to lose him like we did the others whenever we had missions to go into the Capital." Reminding herself of her best friend and teammate, Sheele who died in the Capital saving her life.

Earning an earnest look from Najenda "Mine…." "But I'm sure your right, Boss I just have to have faith and your right I do love that idiot for some reason, I just hope this mission ends soon." Smiling down at Mine, Najenda commented "Don't forget Mine it's not just Tatsumi but Lubbo too in the Capital."

Shocked, Mine forgot that Lubbock was on an Intel mission as well in the Capital. "Hehe your right once again boss, with those two, I'm sure that this mission should be a walk in the park even if they are idiots." Earning a laugh from Najenda, "I always have high hopes for my comrades even if their stubbornness gets the best of them, but I believe they will be home safely with good results."

Mine looked up to Najenda with a smile, "Thank you boss, I really do appreciate your time to chat with me. With a genuine smile Najenda answered, "Anytime Mine," hugging her like a sister, after they part "I believe Tatsumi wouldn't like seeing you like this when he returns. So please for his sake try to get some sleep Mine."

With a smile, Mine looked toward the moon again, "Okay Boss but, could I just spend just a few more minutes then I'll go I promise."Najenda sighed "Alright then, make sure to lock up though please," heading towards the door taking out one of her cigarettes and lighting it. "Goodnight Mine." "Night Boss" Mine answered as Najenda closed the door behind her.

As Najenda left Mine to her thoughts, she noticed that Lubbock's door was slightly ajar. Curious, Najenda approached her childhood friend and most trusted soldier's quarters. As she was turning the doorknob, she quickly opened the door and immediately scanned the room being prepared for an assault from any direction.

As she was doing so she noticed that the window was open which was sending in a small cold draft into the room. Taking a hit from here cigarette and puffing out a dark fog of smoke, she walked casually to the window to close she was closing in on the window a small glare came from Lubbock's desk.

In a gold trimmed picture frame was a picture from when Lubbock and herself were part of the Imperial Army. Najenda picked up the old photograph with care smiling at the old memory, the picture showed Najenda when she was in her early teens when she used to have a ponytail that reached down to her waist and had her arms across her chest with Lubbock standing next to her with one arm slung around her neck and the other having a peace sign gesture.

Both were smiling proudly after a ferocious but victorious battle in the west. Najenda remembered that mission as if it was yesterday, that battle is what helped her achieve the rank of general and Lubbock to the rank of lieutenant general.

"Hn I'm amazed he's kept this picture after all of these years, it sure brings back some good memories…" then putting one hand over her metal arm then to her eye patch, "…..but also brings some hurtful ones as well."

Placing the picture back to where she found it, something else that caught her eye. A small green journal with gold and red trimming along the sides, on the front read *"If found please return to Shirogane Lubbock Watanabe III"*

*Please leave a hooooooowlin' review (please be kind) and if you have some suggestions or questions I will take those as well.*
