Tatsumi stare outside of his window to see the sun has already rises, slowly he crawl toward the edge of the bed and let his toe to touches the cold floor. He shiver before pulling his leg back up before he lie back on his bed. He knows as a general he shouldn't be lazy but today is so cold and all he wants to do is sleep but if Liver find out about this when he gets back then he won't help Tatsumi when his sleepy again.

Gathering all the energy he can get, Tatsumi roll down from his bed and pull the sheet along with him. When he finally on the ground, a pair of shoe can be seen in front of him.

"Oh, it's you." He says as he look up.

"What are you doing silly?" The girl smile widely at him before pulling him up.

"Lying down." He raise his eyebrow as if he wonder why she's asking that question when it is so obvious. This girl has long hair tie in ponytail, her smile is bright and cheerful but Tatsumi can tell very well that this girl was twisted.

"I thought you're suppose to train with Ogre?"

"Well, I still have time before the start of our training and Sir Liver told me and others to pick you up when we're free so you can have some fresh air instead of lazying around General Tatsumi." She quickly pull him toward the wardrobe and open it to see all familiar uniform in red colour.

"Liver wasn't kidding about you fashion sense." She sounds amuse as she pick one.

"Don't tell me you're going to help me change?" He asks as he sit on the chair and rest his head on the coffee table.

"Well, . . . since you say that." Her eyes start to sparkle.

The young general only sighs when she ran toward him with a wide smile, he let her do what she wants for now since he has nothing to do today anyway. Esdeath has gone on another mission while her three other member handle the side mission.


It didn't take long for the girl to strip him and dress him up in his normal uniform. When she's done helping him to put on his boots Tatsumi thanks her silently before he gets up. She shove a spoon of cereal into his mouth which is not into his liking. He prefer eating bread fill with cream, meat and honey wine for breakfast but it seems that he won't be able to enjoy his favorite breakfast until Liver got back from his mission.

After finish swallowing the disgusting food, she drag him toward her training place. The place is near to the execution place where Ogre works. When they reach the place she quickly change her clothes in the changing room while Tatsumi decide to explore the place since it has been a year since he visit this place.

The guards guarding the place bow or kneel when he is seen in their sight, it isn't a surprise to see lots of them are afraid of him because he is a general and just like the other high-rank people in the capital he also wasn't very kind.

"Long time no see General Tatsumi." Ogre greets him.

Tatsumi nod his head as a sign of acknowledgement before peeking behind to see a naked woman lying on the floor with her head separate from her body.

"You love to cut off people head don't you?"

"That's what made my job enjoyable." He laughs.

Tatsumi look up at Ogre left eye to see a huge scar. It looks so ugly and gross, it bothers him every time he sees Ogre.

"You like what you see Tatsumi." The man says his name without thinking.

Sometimes this man make him angry and there are times when he this man can make him happy. He is one of the few that aren't afraid to talk to him like that. Even so that doesn't mean this guy is special since Tatsumi never once want to have a close relationship with anyone.

"You're the only one that kill your enemy with care." He starts to laugh madly as he pull out his weapon. "I wonder if you will give me the same treatment since we are killing buddies aren't we?"

"If I do it will become a useless weakness." Tatsumi tells him. "We don't need someone special or close to us." Tatsumi raise his one finger at Ogre to make the man eyes focus on his and in one second the man start to scream in pain.

Tatsumi eyes are flashing red in colour as he watch Ogre drop on the ground with his face looks pale and start to breath in deeply.

"The Curse Eyes, the ability to let people see their scariest nightmare." Tatsumi says before he blinks and the colour of his eyes turn back to normal. "Only Esdeath doesn't seem affected by this teigu ability."

Before he walks away Tatsumi give last warning to him.

"If you dare trying to kill me then I will have you execute instead."


Taking his leave from that place, Tatsumi begins to walk without any thoughts of places he wants to go. As he walk he sees the faces of the people in the capital looking weak and worried. Only the children are smiling happily as they play since they didn't know everything that is happening around them and the cruelty of this world. If those parents didn't watch their kids properly then someone is going to kidnap them and turn them into slave.

Even if they report this to the police it will just be ignored. That's how the capital is and people with no power can't do anything about it.

"Bored."

He has nothing to do because he was given a few months vacation after his long mission, the king is very generous toward him but sometimes his generosity is too much. When someone like him has nothing to do it makes his teigu screaming wildly wanting to be use and kill some more of those rebellious people.

What he needs now it too fight but the only people that's on his level are the generals.

"Maybe I should hang around some more."

It was then as he turn around, a girl with long black hair run pass him. He notice the clothes that the girl is wearing belongs to the military so he didn't pay much attention to it. The girl looks cheerful but very strong which is good for the capital to have someone like her but he never thought that one day he will see the girl again but this time she works on the enemy side.

The Night Raid.

"I guess I will hang around the capital tonight since . . . the Night Raid prefer working mostly at night don't they?"


Just as he thought, the screaming of the noble man can be heard in the mansion. He didn't bother to run since he knows the noble would be dead by now so Tatsumi continue to walk calmly toward the place and suddenly the other teigu users jump off from the roof and land near him.

"The Night Raid." Tatsumi says as he look at them.

Those five startle before turning to look at him, he can feel the killing intent they're giving out from afar but the killing intent he usually felt was more dangerous compare to this.

"Who are you?" One of them asks as he raise his teigu shape like a scythe toward his face.

"General Tatsumi which is also known as the Red Flash." He yawns as he introduce himself.

'It's almost time for my sleep.'

All of them gasp in shock.

"We have no chance against him!"

"But there's only one of him and five of us."

"Idiot! His a general, we can't let our guard down."

Tatsumi already can tell by their voice that they all are weak but only one of them stays silence. That's rare, his the only one that doesn't seem to move or giving out any aura at all. Those kind of people usually are very interesting.

"Fight him all at once." The girl who known as the leader of the group speak out loudly. "We have to fight him with everything we got."

They all follow her order obediently and fight him all at once, he take out his sword and dodge their attack by jumping up high before trying to attack one of them. The leader push her comrade away before he get any chance to leave any mark on her body.

"Yuki, you're alright?" She sounds so concern.

That question is quite useless on the battlefield. Only strong can leave the battlefield unharmed and seeing the weaklings trying to protect each other is obvious that all of them will get hurt. Friendship is a very useless things isn't it?

"I won't let you hurt any of my friends!"

Tatsumi nod his head not caring what he is shouting.

"Those who possesses teigu are nothing more than tools." He says coldly. "Friends are nothing more than a fake and useless."

In a blink of an eye he disappear, a second later he is just an inch away from the leader and his sword has been thrust in into her abdomen. Nobody knows when or how he did it but it is already clear to the other four that he has just kill their leader easily.

"NO!"

"Weak." He smirks at her. "I haven't even use my full power or any of my teigu but I already kill a leader so easily. I wonder why does people find it hard to kill you guys since you're weak."

The woman spit off blood on to his clothes as he continue to push the sword deeper inside of her until the blade reach its end before he pull it out. The glare she gives him didn't frighten him and he watch as she fall on the ground with her hand trying to grab him but fail as she takes her last breath.

Then he drop the sword on the ground and turn to look at her other comrade.

"It's your turn."

Then he place his hand before him and the wind start to circle around his hand.

"This is an invisible teigu that only let me the user to see its form, until now no one has seen the true form of this teigu." The guy with the scythe launch an attach on him which he easily block with his weapon. "It can be a sword or a long spear. Who knows? You guys who are about to die can just guess while I take my time to kill all of you." Tatsumi chuckles.

"Shut up!"

"No." Tatsumi smiles sweetly at him. "You should be the one to shut up."

Using the invisible weapon he cut off the boy mouth from his face before he give a multiple stab on his chest before slamming him on the ground. The other three try to fight him all in one go, that is when he uses his other teigu. The only time he can use 'The Curse Eyes' is when people are making direct contact with his eyes.

He can always use it anytime but since it's dark he decide only to use it when his sure that they can see each other.

"Ah!" The person start to scream and die due to his own nightmare.

The girl known as Yuki trembling in fear as she grip her teigu. She must be new in this isn't she?

"I guess you're next." Tatsumi smile innocently at her as he skip.

"D-don't. Please . . . I will do anything."

How troublesome?

She throw away her loyalty just like that just because she doesn't want to die. How foolish can she be?

"It's okay." He wipes her tears from her face. "A pretty girl like you doesn't deserve any pain."

A smile of hope form on her face when he embraces her. It was then he take her life away by stabbing his own hand inside of her body and pull her heart out.

"A quick death. It is nice to see the people I kill leave a huge smile on their face." He says happily and throw her heart away as far as possible. "I guess you're the only left, what should I do with my last toy?"

The last person continues to stay silence which make Tatsumi curious.

"Why aren't you moving?"

He takes one step at a time toward the boy and the enemy continue to stand there. Tatsumi place his hands on both of the boy cold cheeks and examine him closer before a true smile is form on his face.

"You're a teigu aren't you?"

Slowly the boy nods.

"I guess you're alone now since your master die." He takes the boy hands and give a light squeeze. "Poor, poor teigu."

Tatsumi pull the boy down and lie his head on the boy chest and as he expect there is no heart beat can be heard.

"I guess you will be my new latest teigu from now on. Okay . . . Kuro?" He rustles his teigu hair. "It's not everyday I can see a teigu shape like a human." He sounds excited and happy and before he knows it sleep has taken over him. Before he closes his eyes he sees guards, soldier and Seryu has arrived.

"Night, night." He mumbles.
