Author's note: All right, if that last chapter didn't leave you with a few questions or thoughts, then you obviously read it wrong. Go back and read it again, silly. :P So the reviewer, Sock my Rock brought up a very valid and logical point or two. He claimed that it was sketchy how Ieyasu and Sayo obtained their quote-quote, "Imperial Arms." Well, here's the thing. They don't actually have an Arms yet. The reason Ieyasu has control over fire from the earth and Sayo can control the clouds' water is… well, you'll see. The next point he brought up is that the deaths of Ieyasu and Sayo make Tatsumi who he is. Here's the catch: Tatsumi has no idea that his buddies are alive. I'll explain how he hasn't known in the chapter, but that's the general gist of the explanation. Last point but minor point; he thought Tatsumi would not easily up and leave Night Raid. One party struggles greatly in their thoughts, so Tatsumi is a possibility for that category. ;)
More details: Unless I receive numerous requests for a matching soundtrack to go with this story, I won't assemble one because of laziness. :P Also, once you see why Ieyasu and Sayo have their elemental powers, tell me whether or not you'd like to see an OC or two, because they actually might be necessary. So, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to send a PM my way or leave a review! This is The Slain Executioner, and I hope you thoroughly enjoy chapter 2 of Sayo and Ieyasu: Killers of Fate. :)
At approximately 2:00 AM, Ieyasu exclaimed, "Hey! Look! It's a Night Raid poster, the Capital's greatest oppressor as of now!" Ieyasu's back twitched with excitement, and his axe quivered in his back-mounted sheath.
Numerous posters littered the area around the general Night Raid poster. They read as follows:
AKAME- "Wielding the Imperial Arms, "Demon Sword: Murasame", and possessing combat abilities rivalled by none, Akame is truly a target to be wary of approaching when attempting to apprehend. Her battle prowess is rumored to be on par with the skills of General Esdeath, and anyone who is pierced with the sword by any depth will be killed slowly from the aftereffects of the cursed poison contained in the sword. No noticeable weaknesses are apparent. Be very careful. Reward for dead capture: 10,000,000 gold pieces. Reward for live capture: 20,000,000 gold pieces."
A girl with jet-black hair, deep maroon eyes, and a dress with the respective colors glared at the poster viewer was depicted in the first one. She held a partially-withdrawn katana in her hand, and she was in a crouching stance, obviously to prepare for a counterattack. However, a small glimpse of her panties was shown, and Ieyasu's nose began to slowly drip blood onto the poster. He tried to wipe the blood away before Sayo noticed it, but she grabbed it from him and slapped his face.
"You pervert, you get aroused by looking at a criminal's wanted poster?" Sayo scolded.
Ieyasu sheepishly laughed. "Well, if she's hot, I can't help it, Sayo." He scratched the back of his neck.
"Ah… well." Sayo raised a finger, then slowly lowered it after she realized she couldn't exactly argue with his logic. Then, she turned and scoffed. "Pfft, men."
"Yes, well… how about we perform an act called 'moving on?'" Ieyasu sarcastically yawned.
Frowning at Ieyasu, Sayo plucked the next one off of the board. "Let's see here…"
MINE- "A sassy, lively individual who wields the Imperial Arms "Roman Artillery: Pumpkin." Granted, we know the name is a bit off, but this particular Arms becomes stronger the bigger the pinch she's in, so if you want to capture her, you need to confiscate her weapon promptly. Her skill as a sniper is unparallelled, and her close combat skills are nothing to laugh at as well. She's fiery, so if you upset her, you'll most likely end up dead. Pumpkin can blast through nearly anything, so practice your dodging. Her weakness is that she leaves her back quite vulnerable to attacks. Reward for dead capture: 3,550,899 gold pieces. Reward for live capture: 7,449,999 gold pieces."
A girl with pink hair and two pigtails gazed at the poster viewer with a blank slate in her eyes. However, her eyes said it all. They were full of fire, burning blue-hot determination. Strangely enough, she wore a pink-and-white dress. The rifle she wielded had a blade on the end for close combat, which gave her an intimidating vibe, for she was leaning on her weapon in the poster.
Ieyasu examined her closely. Then, he handed the poster to Sayo. "She'd be a perfect match in battle for you, Sayo," he said.
Sayo simply looked at him. "She has a firearm, I have mere arrows. Besides, I don't stand a chance against an Imperial Arms user," she countered.
Ieyasu shrugged, then glanced at Mine again. "She doesn't really have that impressive of a body, huh?"
Sayo sighed. "Why did I get stuck with you…" she muttered. Sayo pulled the next poster off of the wall.
LUBBOCK- "A young man with the Imperial Arms "Infinite Uses: Cross-Tails". Cross-Tails can eject razor-sharp-strings that can form many shapes and objects. For example, Lubbock can provide a platform for his teammates from the shadows using his strings. He can create a spear, a makeshift shield, a crude suit of armor, and even an axe. Lubbock is a genius tactician, and is well-known for planning battle strategies out completely. His battle prowess is noted by the former general, Najenda, since he had served directly under her for some time. Beware of his expert manipulation techniques and his close-combat throwing knives. Reward for dead capture: 3,599,999 gold pieces. Reward for live capture: 7,555,826 gold pieces.
A boy with long green hair, goggles atop his head and a trenchcoat of sorts was depicted. His left gloved hand was held up to show off a circle inside a circle that must have been where his Imperial Arms was installed. His cheeky grin emitted spunk and determination, yet his eyes demonstrated an experienced fighter with a exceptional brain for strategy.
Ieyasu thought out loud, "I could learn a thing or two from him."
Sayo agreed. "Me too. I've always wanted to become a better strategian." She glanced downward. What were she and Ieyasu fighting for now? Were they actually fighting for their village, or were they fighting just for themselves; to become stronger warriors through pointless, useless skirmishes and death?
Ieyasu poked her shoulder repeatedly. "Hey… you okay? Ever since we took out that group of twerps a few hours ago, you've been really dazy. Not exactly the Sayo I know and respect," he said.
Sayo smiled, ever so slightly. "Ieyasu, what are we fighting for?"
This question caught Ieyasu off balance, and he dropped the flyer depicting a blonde-haired woman with excessively large breasts. The serious nature of Sayo's voice made Ieyasu wrench his attention from Leone's womanly parts on the paper and back to his childhood friend. "Uh… we're fighting to purify the Capital. What else?"
Sayo nodded. "Yes, we are doing just that. However…" She glanced at the skyline. She could hear cheers, shouts, and also cries of anguish. "Ieyasu. Look for the three groups of people. I presume one group is mugging a person, one group is raping an innocent girl, and one group is murdering a victim."
Ieyasu took a look around the area Sayo had pointed at. In a few minutes, his face changed from boobscinated to horrified. "Sayo… we're fighting to protect… this?"
"No. Not just this. We're fighting to protect a corrupt Prime Minister, a sadistic General, and this overturn-by-internal-conflict Capital. To truly protect the Capital, and ultimately send funds back to our village, we'd need to target the source of the problem."
Ieyasu caught on right away. "So, you mean… the higher-ups? But how would we do that?"
Sayo yawned. "We'd need a group of able warriors as our equals or superiors, and an undying bond of trust like you, Tatsumi, and I share. We would need resources and information, like Night Raid does. And…"
Ieyasu held up a hand, his face confused. "So you're saying we should just up and join Night Raid, and abandon the Capital?"
"I prefer to think of it as poetry. We should have never entered the Capital, for my hope of this place of dwelling has fully been diminished over the past few months or so. And I quote, 'Abandon hope, all ye who enter here.' Ieyasu, we never should have fought for the Capital. We should have immediately joined a resistance against the higher-ups, not the petty criminals."
Ieyasu was shocked. "That makes too much sense. Do you mind if I sleep on it before deciding whether or not I agree with you?" Ieyasu's eyes were begging, for he refused to rush into this situation head-on, as he usually does for other types of conflict.
As the pair walked away from the wanted posters, a flyer advertising an intimidating suit of armor fluttered to the ground and settled there.
TATSUMI- "The newest member of Night Raid. His speed, intellect and battle prowess are incredibly formidable. From deceased member Bulat's recent death, he inherited the Imperial Arms: Incursio, or otherwise known as Demon Armor, a legendary suit of armor that was made from a top-class Danger Beast. The only way to pierce Incursio is to use an opposing Imperial Arms against it. Without this suit of armor, Tatsumi is incredibly quick and skilled with a sword, so his new arrivance on the Night Raid scene only makes it harder for the group to be taken down. No set bounty has been confirmed yet."
The next morning, after a breakfast of eggs and bacon for Sayo, and… bacon for Ieyasu, they developed a plan. They'd go join the Imperial Military for a very, very short while and then break away from the group and scout for Night Raid's hideout themselves. The duo figured that if they travelled in a pair, they'd be less noticeable and would have an easier time approaching Night Raid's hideout.
"Ah, the Capital's food is sure one thing I'll miss. This bacon is incredible!" Ieyasu sighed and flopped back into his chair.
Sayo looked at him. "Want to run over the plan once more, or do you have it down? Sayo asked.
Ieyasu sighed. "I got it, I got it… we train and master our newly acquired elemental control and join the Imperial Military, and wait until an expedition is mounted to go capture Night Raid, then we break from the group and sneak off to look at it for ourselves."
"Right. Now let's go to the outskirts so no one can see our practice. Besides, I don't like being looked at if my technique isn't perfect," Sayo brooded.
The duo got up and paid for their meal. Ieyasu picked up his axe and placed it into its sheath on his back. Sayo always carried her bow, and the arrows in her quiver bounced as she walked.
A hooded figure with long, messy blond hair drinking a cup of coffee seemed to be spying on them, since it stood up and left thirty seconds after Ieyasu and Sayo had. She grinned and adjusted her belt, then cracked her knuckles. As she left, she said to herself, "Ah, it's been a while since I killed young blood."
Out in the abandoned fields of the Capital, no living thing resided anywhere. Only an abundance of nothing resided in the wasteland; dried up grass and dead trees were the only spectators of Ieyasu's and Sayo's practice match.
Sayo chuckled. "You do know that water always extinguishes fire, right? Come on, 'Yas, I know you're stronger than that." She took on a crouching, fighting stance with her bow drawn and ready to fire. Her sword would be useless against Ieyasu's powerful axe. "I need to keep him at a good distance," she thought. "He's got me good as dead if he gets within swinging range."
"Nothing can extinguish the fire of the determined! I thought you knew this much about me, Sayo!" Ieyasu shouted and grabbed the axe with both hands near the base of the handle. His left hand was covered in a metal glove, and his right hand quivered with adrenaline. His multiple throwing knives in his coat and pants would be useful against Sayo, since he needed a distraction so he could get in close with his axe. Ieyasu grinned. He had the element of surprise on his side, since he had mastered the art of the throwing knife in secret. Her arrows would be used against her. "But still, damn. She's the best archer I've ever seen, and she's quicker than anyone I've fought against. Despite my secret skill, I don't know if I can win." His confident grin slowly gave way into his battle face.
The blonde-haired hooded figure had followed them out to the countryside to watch them fight. She stood hidden inside a hollow tree, which provided multiple knotholes for her to spy out of. The figure performed a silent analysis of how Ieyasu and Sayo prepared to fight. She observed that Sayo kept a close watch on Ieyasu's axe, and Ieyasu kept a close watch on Sayo's arrows and how many there were. Both had unique stances, but Sayo's was a little one-sided. Her back leg held too much weight, which would be an easy target for a sweep if anyone got close enough to knock her off balance. Ieyasu's stance, on the other hand, seemed very familiar to someone's she knew, except the way he held himself seemed to project more power and a little less speed. "Ah, yeah. Tatsumi's stance is very much like this guy's, except this guy is more suited for an axe." Leone smiled from her position. This would be a very interesting fight. But before that, she removed her hood and cloak, and let it fall to the base of the tree. Her scarcely-covered body made its way out of the robe, and she sighed in relief. "God damn, I hate wearing that piece of shit."
To make themselves feel more confident, each of them screamed out their battle cry. Ieyasu screamed, "For our…"
Sayo shouted in response, "Fallen one!" A single tear slid out of her eye when she yelled the words. She started out with shooting a single arrow to scout what Ieyasu was going to do. What he did was beyond her comprehension.
Ieyasu flipped his axe upside down and let the arrow strike the exact center of the butt of the handle. While Sayo was still shocked, he yanked the arrow out, jumped into the air and punched the arrowhead back at Sayo. Naturally, the arrow moved slower, but it was fast enough to provide pressure for Sayo.
The arrow whizzed by Sayo and stuck into the ground. She yanked her head back into the game and fired three more arrows.
Before that, however, Ieyasu began to charge Sayo with his axe in one hand and his metal-gloved hand in front of him. When the arrows came at Ieyasu, he brought up his axe and blocked two arrows with his weapon. He smacked the other one down with his gloved hand. Ieyasu grinned and front-flipped into the air, then swung the axe over his head and plunged the blade into the earth. He had no idea what it would do, be he was confident his warrior's mind would think of something quickly enough.
A massive ring of fire appeared around Ieyasu, and he dropped to a knee from the intensity of the heat. Teeth clenched, he attempted his signature whirlwind strike that he had dubbed, "Warrior's Gale." He found that performing this move actually severed the fire, and now the fire was parted into a floating ring of pure, fierce heat above Ieyasu's head. Swinging his axe around like an athlete would swing a hammer, he launched the spinning wheel of flame at his childhood friend and trusted comrade.
In the tree, Leone gasped quite audibly. She immediately covered her mouth, but she was astounded at the power this young man possessed. "That's not even an Imperial Arms," she thought, flabbergasted. "How the hell is he doing this? Unless… that must be it." Leone recalled overhearing the brief conversation between Tatsumi and Lubbock. Lubbock had said, quite adamantly, that survivors of the Lubora disease gain mild elemental control, depending on their personality. Was this young man a survivor of the Lubora disease? Leone's gaze drifted over to the archer girl. Was she a survivor, too?
Despite the swift-moving circle of fire speeding towards her, Sayo's extremely toned senses detected another human's presence. Snapping her attention back to the practice match, she thought, "If this doesn't work, I'll be as good as dead." She shot three spiraling arrows into the sky. Almost immediately, three rushing columns of water poured out the sky and punched massive holes in the ground, while partially extinguishing the fiery flames of Ieyasu's spirit. The straggling flames were extinguished by Sayo whipping her bow into the cyclones of water and flinging the water she retrieved into the remaining fireballs.
Once again, Ieyasu and Sayo were at a standoff, as equals. One did not surpass the other; they were as equal as equal could possibly achieve. Calling up the elements in that degree of intensity wore them out much too quickly. Sayo was breathing hard, and Ieyasu was still on one knee, recovering.
Sayo's eyes gleamed. Undetectable to the human eye, she let an arrow fly. Ieyasu's eyes flashed with passion, and he stood up to block the arrow.
Leone yawned, then stood up. "This would be a good time to confront them," she thought. Najenda told her to ask them a few questions, like who they were and why they were fighting for the Capital. After all, their beloved comrades Bulat and Sheele had died, and Night Raid was starting to become understaffed. Sighing, Leone pulled the cloak over her attractive body once again, and she twitched in irritation.
"Let's do this," she whispered as she adjusted her garment.
Sayo sensed something was gravely wrong and out of place. After Ieyasu blocked her lone arrow, she whispered to him, "Quiet. Someone's here with us. Stay on your guard." Ieyasu nodded, fully trusting this wasn't a battle tactic, for he sensed it too. Staying extremely alert, the duo backed up slowly until they were back to back in the middle of the field. Out of his peripheral vision, Ieyasu spotted the slightest movement by a large, dead, tree. He readied a throwing knife. By the time his knife had been drawn and he was ready to throw it, Sayo had already drawn her bow and was ready to fire.
Ieyasu glanced at Sayo, with a pleading look in his eyes. Sayo's eyes seemed to sigh, but she nodded. With a grin, Ieyasu gave her a thumbs-up. Taking in a deep breath, he let loose an animalistic roar. "WHO THE FUCK IS OUT THERE?!"
Leone was astounded that they had detected her. "All right, you two. You found me. I don't want to fight you guys, I just want to know how you acquired your strength." She held up her hands to signal she could do nothing without "taking an arrow to the knee"- or elsewhere. She walked slowly, still wary of these skilled young warriors.
Sayo kept her eyes on Leone. She motioned to Ieyasu to watch her back, and he turned around to see if Leone had backup. She didn't have any apparent backup, but some Imperial Arms could do strange things.
Sayo projected her whisper to Leone. "Who are you? Why do you want to speak to us?"
Leone smiled. "Let's just say I'm a talent recruiter. I want to speak to you about your crazy-cool abilities."
Ieyasu snuck a glance over his shoulder. She looked vaguely familiar to him from somewhere…
Leone cleared her throat, then coughed. "Could we by any chance go to a cafe or something? I need a soda. Also, I'm pretty sure that you two are parched. Especially you, young man," Leone said as she motioned to Ieyasu.
Ieyasu sent a questioning look Sayo's way. After a second of hesitation, Sayo nodded and lowered her bow. Ieyasu followed in turn by replacing his axe into his back sheath.
"Ahh, that's better. What drinks do you guys go for? I love my margaritas."
Sayo was starting to open to the mysterious woman. Ieyasu, on the other hand, stayed skeptical but remained friendly. "I prefer water to anything, thanks."
Ieyasu thought for a second before replying, "I like soda."
One margarita, two glasses of water and three bottles of strawberry soda later, Leone finally received a little more information on these mysterious warriors. "So lemme get this straight: You two were infected with the Lubora disease a few months ago, but survived. Then, after you recovered a few months later, you bought some high-quality weapons with money you stole. Following this, you discovered that Ieyasu could mildly control fire and Sayo could mildly control water, right?"
Ieyasu shrugged, then burped quite loudly. "Yeah, that's the gist of it." He leaned back in his chair, then quoted himself from this morning. "Ahh, the Capital's food is one thing I'm gonna miss."
Leone glanced at Ieyasu. "You guys are leaving?"
Sayo sighed. "You and your big mouth, Ieyasu. We planned to join the Imperial Military for a very, very short time, then once the group was close to Night Raid's location, we'd break from the group and travel as a pair in search of their base."
Ieyasu's neck snapped upwards. "Night Raid… the posters… you!" He pointed at Leone's chest. "Your bust is the same as the Night Raid girl on the posters! I thought you looked familiar!"
Leone laughed. "Well, I'm glad my most distinguishing feature was noticed. Yes, you're right. I am a member of Night Raid, but why are you so excited about it?"
Sayo and Ieyasu glanced at each other, then Ieyasu nodded. Sayo spoke up, "We decided to join a rebellion against this corrupt Capital, basically. We realized we were fighting for evil, instead of for the undetected, underlying side of good," Sayo explained. "Finally, we decided we needed a team that trusts us as much as we trust them, alongside their battle prowess."
Leone thought about Sayo's statement for a while. "All right. Fine. I'll take you to the hideout, but if you refuse our bosses' offer to join, we'll have to execute you on the spot, and that would soil our carpets. We don't like that," Leone sighed. "After all, you two don't even have an Arms, yet you have incredible elemental powers. What say we leave first thing tomorrow morning?" Leone smiled. Leone whispered to herself. "There's someone who would really like to see you, as well…"
Sayo looked at Leone. "What was that?" She asked. Leone laughed. "Ahh, it's nothing. Let's go have some fun, shall we?"
By now, Ieyasu's suspicions and Sayo's general untrustful nature had faded away, and they accepted Leone as a friend. The trio left to go participate in a sparring tournament, where only hand-to hand combat was allowed.
And, they also hit up a few clubs and got slightly drunk. So, the next morning, the three hung-over warriors stumbled out of the place they crashed in and shook the remaining alcohol out of their minds.
"Ugh…" Ieyasu grabbed his head and leaned against the wall.
Leone chuckled. "You really lasted a while before passing out, Ieyasu. You've got a strong tolerance to alcohol."
Sayo, on the other hand, passed out quite quickly. "As for you, Sayo, you don't seem to have quite the tolerance Ieyasu does…"
Sayo stumbled, then used Leone to regain her balance. "That's all right… I don't think alcohol's my thing anyway."
After the trio had sobered up, they set out into the mountains where everything was lush, green, and natural.
"Kind of like Leone, except for the green part…" Ieyasu pervertedly thought. As if Sayo detected a blip on the Pervert-o-Meter, she glanced at Ieyasu with a questioning look in her eyes. Quickly, Ieyasu averted his thoughts to happy fun times of meeting Night Raid.
"What might the pervert be thinking of?" Sayo drunkenly asked.
"Heh heh. Not thinking about breasts or anything…"
Sayo shook her head and sighed. "Ieyasu, you really need to get laid."
Leone overheard that little tidbit, and decided to send a jab at Ieyasu. "Oooh, our little warrior-friend hasn't gotten a lucky lady in bed, huh? I wonder when that'll come?"
Ieyasu's face turned the color of a ripe tomato. "Sh-shut up…"
Sayo decided to lay off of him. "All right, I think I'm done with teasing Ieyasu."
Leone stretched her arms behind her back. "Eeeh… but teasing young boys about their virginity is fuuun," Leone complained. Sayo glanced at her. How old was she, really?
"All right, let's set off," Leone exclaimed.
After a half-day hike through the woods, Leone stopped the duo at an overhanging rock face.
"Okay, this is where we get off," Leone explained. She jumped off of the cliff.
"Hey, Leone!" Ieyasu shouted, but stopped as soon as he heard Leone laughing. "What… the hell?"
Ieyasu peered over the cliff to look at how far Leone had fallen. She was laughing, with the element of carefree adventure in her eyes. "No worries, Ieyasu. My Lionelle can easily save me from falls that would kill a mere human."
Leone's body become even more refined. Her messy blonde hair grew lion ears, and her hands turned into paws extremely long, brutal-looking claws that had bits of rock on them. Her shoes had expanded, as if her feet had also morphed into paws. Her body was still just as sexy and attractive, though, and Ieyasu got a very good glimpse at her boob crack, for her was standing above her.
"Hey Ieyasu? What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?" She mocked. Leone knew full well that his face was red from her womanly parts.
"N-no… I'm just s-surprised that an Imperial Arms can transform you into a lion," he stuttered.
Leone laughed. "Or was it something… else? Something a little… bigger?"
Ieyasu stammered, "Your boobs aren't what I was staring at! I was… contemplating the beautiful scenery around us!" He quickly darted his head in all directions, as if he was examining the grass, trees, and sky.
Hanging by one claw from the rock face, Leone giggled. "Looks like our little warrior friend is enthralled with boobies," she chuckled. "But seriously, though. Our hideout's just down here. No one would think to look underneath this rock face, so no one has discovered us yet. I'll take you to meet our boss, Najenda. She seems cold and heartless at first. After all, she was General Esdeath's partner and still is her equivalent. But seriously, she'll open up to you two pretty quickly, don't worry about that." Leone shouted a war whoop and dropped down to the ground 150 feet below.
Ieyasu glanced at Sayo. "Should we show Leone we're capable of following her just as quickly?"
Sayo grinned. "Yep. We aren't about to be outdone by a feline Imperial Arms! Ieyasu, grab hold!"
Attaching a tether to an arrow, Sayo shot it into the tree across the valley. The double-bladed arrow sunk deep into the tree's insides, so it was safe for Ieyasu and Sayo to swing down.
"Ready?" Sayo asked her lifelong compatriot.
"As you are!" Ieyasu replied with a grin. Sayo then launched her and Ieyasu's bodies off of the cliff. Ieyasu grabbed onto Sayo's stomach and held on as they fell.
"Yahoo!" Ieyasu whooped. Sayo's face was slightly pale, but she continued to let out the tether at a swift pace. Just before they were about to hit the ground, Sayo stopped reeling and the two of them dropped to the soil, unharmed.
Leone whistled. "Wow, I'm not sure our newest Night Raid member can even do that," she said with admiration.
Ieyasu shrugged. "It's real simple for Sayo, actually." He gestured towards the wall of rock that supposedly contained the assassin's group, Night Raid. "I want to meet this Najenda person."
Sayo nodded. "As would I."
Leone laughed. "You guys are way too formal," she taunted. "You two need to loosen up a bit."
The trio made their way into the hideout, and Sayo and Ieyasu prepared to meet the head-honcho of Night Raid, the most dangerous opposition to the Capital. Ieyasu gritted his teeth.
"I'm joining Night Raid for my village! This should pay well, and if what Sayo says is true, I'll also be fighting for the good side, too." His gritted expression gave way into a huge grin. "I'm making the right choice. I just know I am."
Sayo held a neutral expression, but her thoughts were racing at a million miles and hour. "This is so exciting! I always thought the Night Raid members were cool, but now I get to meet them and we're also on the right side of things! I would have flipped with excitement if it wasn't for my warrior's training! My god, I'm too thrilled!"
Ieyasu sensed a tone of silent hyperness. He glanced around, trying to detect it, but he couldn't find it. Yet, it was walking right beside him, carrying a bow and a quiver full of arrows.
Sayo grinned.
Leone hung behind the two young warriors walking in front of her.
"Tatsumi will be shocked and overjoyed to see these two again."
Hopefully, that clears up your doubts about my story. Again, did you like it? Send me a PM or review if you have any questions, and I'll surely get back to you! Also, give me a week or two to pump out new chapters, since my parents are religious freaks, and by what you've read here, I don't think anything I write will tie in with their turtlenecked beliefs. :P I'm doing this strictly for fun, so if you want me to keep going, strongly let me know and I will continue having fun. :) I love you guys! This is the Slain Executioner, slashing out! :)
Oh, yeah. If you have a 3ds, send me your friend code. :) My friend code is 1220 8478 6092. Two more things about my story:
1: Let me know if you want to see one or two OCs. I may or may not need them later on in the story.
2: If you want that soundtrack, please let me know and I'll assemble one, all right?
The Slain Executioner, actually slashing out this time. ;)
