Sorry I haven't updated this story in about a week but I was updating Thunder's Child and I got my first review from Zinc2100. I really appreciate his review and also i'd like to say thank you to the people who have followed and favorited Vengeful Pheonix and Thunder's Child.

I still don't own Akame Ga Kill, only my OC's.

Chapter 2: Princess in Pink

Orenji POV:

" I really hate my life." I muttered to myself as I ran towards the place where I first heard the voice. I put some of my energy into my legs willing them to go faster so I could save whoever was in trouble as quick as possible. I pulled my sword out of its scabbard, getting ready to attack whatever was threatening the girl in trouble.

" Ah!" I heard the feminine voice loudly shriek. I quickened my pace and emerged into the clearing at a breakneck speed. What I first saw was a wounded girl that if could describe her in just two words it would be short and pink. There was a gun lying across the clearing but between her and the gun was a massive lion with a scorpion tail and bat wings. I think it was called a manticore, anyway back to the task at hand.

I rushed forward and blast fire out of my left hand since my sword occupied my right hand. The manticore noticed me beforehand though and flapped his wings so they'd propel him upwards and avoid my attack. My attack still singed the bottom of his belly and he yowled in pain. The manticore quickly recovered and dove towards where I was.

Before he could reach my position I rolled to side but he turned in mid air. He slammed into the ground staggering me in the process. His scorpion tail lunged at me but I quickly brought up my blade to parry his strike on instinct. I jumped backwards to gain distance but he charged towards me so before he could get to me I cloaked myself and fire and held out my left hand and a massive ball of fire shot out of it and engulfed the manticore who roared loudly upon impact.

" That was awesome!" I cheered after recovering from the massive blast I had released at close range. I turned to the wounded girl who had picked up the gun on the other side of the clearing and was holding it with one of her arms as a crunch.

" Are you okay," I asked wearily " That was a pretty big manticore, i'm surprised you were able to hold him off for how long it took me to get here."

" Don't doubt me," She retorted in a snarky tone " I could've beaten him easily if my arm wasn't broken."

" Oh, you're welcome princess pink," I responded, the sarcasm in my voice almost palpable " You don't need to thank me, it's not like I saved your life or anything."

She wordlessly glared at me for my sarcastic outburst " Okay, look i'm sorry, you don't need to say thank you I did it of my own free will." She seemed pleased by my apology and just nodded in agreement.

" But, how exactly did you get here and, follow up question, why is your arm broken?" I questioned her.

" I don't need to tell you!" She loudly retorted.

" Well I can't help you if I don't know why you need help." I reasoned.

" No you don't," She snapped back " You could just help me and then get lost."

" Okay, fine," I relented " But since you're hurt at least let me help you get back to a town."

She seemed to process my request for a few seconds. Doubt and confusion briefly flashed across her face. " Fine," She groaned as if it were the worst thing in the world " I'll tell you where to go and you can leave me there."

" Okay, get on my back." I kneeled down in front of her and she slung her gun across her back and climbed on. " Which direction do I go?"

" West a couple miles." She responded pointing the way.

I began walking that way silently because I felt any conversation that I tried to start would have been awkward and forced so I just continued on without making a sound. I heard light breathing on my shoulder coming from the pink haired girl.

' I just realized,' I thought to myself ' I never asked her name or even gave her mine. Anyway I guess I should keep walking and let her have her rest, she's probably had a rough day after all since she broke her arm and was attacked by a manticore.'

I walked in silence for about half an hour until I stopped mechanically on instinct. I looked around and noticed several threads and tiptoed my way around them, minding myself and observing everything around me before taking a few steps. I continued doing that until I spotted a big stone building. I quickly woke up the girl that was sleeping on my back.

" Hey pink," I shifted her on my back and she groaned and woke up " We're here."

She didn't even respond and just stretched but surprise quickly graced her features and she jumped off my back. " Woah, careful." I responded to her actions in a concerned tone.

" I told you to just walk for a while and then drop me off!" She yelled at me.

" You were asleep so I kept walking in the direction that you pointed." I pleaded my case as quick as I could in response to her outburst.

" Ugh," She grunted loudly " Nevermind, just follow me." She walked for a few steps but winced in pain every step.

" Stop, just let me keep carrying you," I ordered " If you keep walking you're going to get yourself hurt."

I kneeled down to let her get on my back for the second time in only an hour. She scowled and got on my back again and let me carry her towards the stone building. It took a couple minutes to reach the entrance but before I could get anywhere near it people came rushing out.

" Put me down now." She ordered. Without a second thought I put her down, I most likely did that so quickly because most of the people coming out of the building had weapons and looked well trained.

" Mine," A raven haired girl with red eyes stepped forward and drew her katana which I got a bad vibe from " Who is this?"

She seemed to choke on her words for some reason so I answered for her " I carried her back here, she has a broken arm and she was tired so I offered to carry her to her home." She seemed satisfied with my answer but she still held out her katana.

" Wait," I heard a voice to my left. The speaker had brown hair and green eyes and was about average height " Where's Sheele?"

I guessed that he was talking about one of her friends and when I turned to look at the pink haired girl she seemed to be struggled with her words and was pretty much sobbing quietly.

" Where's Sheele?" The boy pressed, although he seemed to know the answer since the pink haired girl was sobbing right in front of him. I tuned out most of their conversation since I was pretty much ignored anyway. The scene that unfolded right in front of me reminded me of something sad but I couldn't exactly put my finger on it since of course I couldn't remember anything.

I mostly ignored what they said but the boy was hit to the ground after yelling and a big muscly guy with a pompadour argued with him. What I knew for sure though was that this was going to be a long night.

' Definitely gonna be a long night.' I thought absentmindedly to myself.

I mostly just wanted to make Ao and Orenji around the same time so that most of their chapters could be synchronized which was why I started at this point and had him carry Mine back to Night Raid so he could meet them and join them since Ao is gonna be on the Jaeger's side. Anyway for pairings i'm still not sure what to do for Orenji so i'm probably going to see what you guys want him to do and who he ends up with, also I can say one thing about what happens later in the story that won't spoil much and that's that Orenji fights Esdeath.

Orenji = Orange

Kasai = Fire
