Btw, this contains light spoilers from the manga, don't read if you're only following the anime or the anime hasn't showed the whole "Esdese claiming Tatsumi" part.

I got pretty lazy after the first half, but then I decided... 'Stop slacking'

And to reply to Jamesk19 = I do plan to write more one shots, I have one in mind but I haven't started typing it yet. Also, it is a new series but I do hope Akame ga Kiru gains more support in fanfictions. Thanks for that! ^3^

And also to Kuroshiroryuu = Thanks for assuring I didn't make a mistake. This is the 2nd half so thanks for waiting!

I rushed to type this as soon as I woke from my 6 hour sleep. Enjoy!

Tatsumi hid his teigu in another barrel, hoping nobody would notice. Esdese looked in pure surprise to find the one 'who got away'. She picked up Tatsumi and hugged him tightly. "Oh Tatsumi, how dare you run away!" She pouted innocently. Then a grin appeared. "We're together now so it must be fate we were meant to be."

Tatsumi nervously smiled to the seemingly warm cold hearted woman. "I-it must be fate." He bit his tongue. 'Fate must want Tatsumi dead or something.'

Esdese put down Tatsumi. "I won't ask where you went off last time, so don't worry. I'll keep you with me from now on."

Tatsumi's heart pounded. What if Esdese pulled off the same thing as when they first met. Tatsumi took a step back but was stopped by a grip on his wrist. Esdese tightly wrapped her hand around Tatsumi's wrist. She shot a glare at Tatsumi. "Where are you going Tatsumi?" She asked softly.

Tatsumi tensed up. "I-I heard this village h-has... a nice..." Tatsumi was in a loss for words. He knew nothing about this village and only came to kill some drug smuggler.

"Nice what?" Esdese patiently waited for Tatsumi to finish his sentence.

"A-a nice lake nearby! Y-yeah." Tatsumi felt his brain turn to mush. "I was gonna go find it?"

Esdese smiled. She placed her hand on his soft brown hair. "Yes, I've seen it on my way here. Looks romantic." She carefully pronounced the last word. Tatsumi needed to run away. "We can see it once I confirm that he is in the village."

"He?" Tatsumi tugged on his arm slightly.

"One of the Prime Minister's distant relatives ran all the way here in order to escape some assassins. I was given the task of protecting him until the assassin has been caught."

Tatsumi's heart practically jumped out of his chest. 'Crap. This is not good. This is not good!'

Tatsumi took a step back. His wrist sweaty enough to loosen Esdese's grip. "I-I didn't see anyone who looked suspicious here. He probably went to another village or something."

"Tatsumi, I want to take your word for it but I can't until I see for myself."

Akame was cutting up potatos for dinner. "Tatsumi didn't come back in time."

Leone stretched out her arms. "I sure that guy got caught up."

Rabac walked into the kitchen. "Hey Akame, should we look for Tatsumi. He could be dying out somewhere."

Akame stabbed the counter. "Let's go."

Before Akame reached the outside of the kitchen, she was stopped. Mein stood in front of her. "Come on guys! Have some faith, I'm sure he's just delaying."

Tatsumi awkwardly sat next to Esdese during a meeting. She checked the village and found the smuggler Striker in the village and decided to have a brief meeting.

"Esdese, it's wonderful to see you! I was afraid for my life, some brat put a hit on me for sure!" His voice was grimy and deep. This man was apparently overweight and poor in health due to active use of tobacco and smokes. "Who is that young man besides you Esdese?" He looked to Tatsumi.

Tatsumi tried to avoid eye contact. Esdese wrapped her arm around Tatsumi's neck. "This is Tatsumi, he's my lover."

Tatsumi's face turned to a bright cherry red. The man laughed. "Oh! Young Tatsumi, you're hell of a hole lucky to be Esdese's lover. She treats you more than well I presume?"

Tatsumi tensed up more. "Sh-she treats me very well..."

After the meeting, Esdese and Tatsumi went to the lake. It was beautiful, fish sometimes jumped out and their scales reflected many colors. Esdese wrapped her arms around Tatsumi and he was pulled into her lap. She intended on never letting go of the smaller male.

"I wish we could spend forever here. It's so peaceful and you're here Tatsumi." Esdese looked at the boy, who was flustered and thinking of an escape. "I love you Tatsumi, your face, your strength, and your smile."

Tatsumi felt bad for trying to escape, but he knew they were on opposite sides of the war. Then they heard a crash. Esdese let go of Tatsumi and rushed to see what happened. Tatsumi followed and hid behind a tree. The hut where the drug smuggler slept had collapsed. Esdese's soldiers pulled off the rubble. The man was dead.

Esdese realized she left Tatsumi and ran back to see if he was there. Tatsumi had escaped again. 'We'll meet again. I promise that, my beloved Tatsumi.'

Tatsumi entered the Night Raid's base. He was tired and put off everyone's questions to go to sleep.

"The next time we meet, we're most likely to meet as enemies. My love."

So there you have it, a TatsumixEsdese two shot. Sorry for the shortness.
