Sorry this took a while to update, I've been really busy lately and I couldn't find enough time to write this.

I obviously don't own Akame Ga Kill only my OCs.

Chapter 3: Seryu's Arms

After the conversation at the office with the two clerks I had almost immediately hurried out after they informed the palace of my deeds and they told me it would be a week until I went there to meet with the emperor. I walked swiftly down the marketplace road not stopping for anything. I was deep in thought as I wondered what would happen at the palace.

In Thoughts

' Good job Ao,' congratulated the prime minister ' Here's infinite money to spend on whatever you like.' He handed me the massive bag of money that towered over him and me combined easily dwarfing us.

' Yes very good job,' Agreed the kid emperor ' I suggest we throw a celebration every year in gratitude of this hero.'

' Oh,' I responded ' There will be no need for celebration, I did what anyone would have done.' I looked far more gallant and manlier in my thoughts than what I looked like in real life.

Out of Thoughts

' That would be amazing,' I thought to myself ' Probably won't happen but I can hope.' I was nearing the inn that I was staying at but I noticed a small animal near me.

" Hey little buddy, are you los-" I was cut off as he growed at me angrily and I backed away with my hands up " No need to be so hostile little buddy." He just ignored me and ran surprisingly fast for his height and jumped up at me.

All of this might've been scary if it wasn't for the little dog being up to my knees and still going pretty slowly, all of this added up and I reasoned to myself ' Eh whatever ' So I punted the little dog away from my feet and he landed about ten feet away.

He just got up and turn his head around on his neck ( Or whatever ) and the rest of his body followed. " Okay that was creepy." I voiced aloud to myself.

" Coro," I heard a feminine voice shout to my left " Down, bad boy."

I turned towards the voice that had yelled at the dog and I saw a girl with auburn hair and eyes jogging towards me and the little monster dog. She ignored me and went over to it and smacked him on the head ( Or stump with eyes ).

" Don't wander off from me again Coro." She scolded the small animal and it whimpered. Moments ago it was being pretty creepy with the puppet head and body thing but now it was acting all tame because of the girl.

" I hope he didn't hurt you or anything."

" Huh," I responded dumbly and quickly recovered " Oh, it's okay nothing really happened he was probably just looking for you."

" Anyway, i'm sorry for the inconvenience citizen," She answered with a salute " My name is Seryu, and I work for the imperial police to bring justice and peace."

I just stared dumbly at her and muttered " Uh-huh" I didn't really get what she meant but at lot of weird stuff has happened lately and I guess I just wasn't as bothered with it as I normally should be.

" Well, my name's Ao," I extended my hand for a handshake which she accepted " It's nice to meet you."

" Would you need any help being escorted somewhere," She wondered absentmindedly " I could bring you there if you need help."

" No that's fine, i'm almost there and I know my way around here pretty well."

" Okay then," She answered slightly disappointed she couldn't help someone " Have a good day Ao." She put a leash on Coro and ran down the street, Coro trailing behind her the whole time his eyes glued on me as if saying ' Stay away from my Seryu' but I don't think it was very threatening considering he was an extremely small dog that I was able to kick a good distance away from myself without even using my lightning abilities to imbue myself with more strength so I wasn't worried ( Big mistake ).

I continued down the street toward the inn avoiding any further confrontations and just keeping to myself. I arrived at the entrance to the inn about two or three minutes after I talked with Seryu. I opened the door and trudged upstairs, tired from the day of searching where to sell the eye. I plopped down on the bed and thought to myself about what was going to happen, which was almost exactly the same as his previous thoughts except with a feast.

Time skip: Four days

I really shouldn't have expected anything to go right during the days leading up to my visit to the palace, I really shouldn't have.

As I was trying to fall asleep after a day of training ( I still needed training to help my powers ) and failing at it. What didn't help was the giant purple light that sprung up from a nearby park completely waking me up. I threw on my jacket and combat boots and clipped my scabbard onto my back and ran out of the inn into the streets ignoring the clerk at the front of the desk.

On the way there rushing down the streets I using my lightning abilities or,what I thought was a better name, adrenaline since I just came up for the name. I zoomed down the street at breakneck speeds only slowing down slightly after the light died down in the park but I quickly recovered and increased my speed.

Once I got there I saw a ton of imperial police officers crowded around what looked like a giant dog that resembled Coro almost exactly except that he had big burly arms and was a red giant.

" What happened here," I shouted to the police officers, gaining their attention " I saw a massive purple light over here a few moments ago."

They tried to push me back and one even pointed his gun and ordered " Stay back citizen." He was ignored and another voice in the small army asked " Ao?"

I quickly realized it was Seryu's voice and pushed my way through the crowd, this time lettingme through. When I saw her I was utterly shocked, she had lost her arms and the stubs were dripping blood but she was still smiling sweetly. On the ground was a giant pair of scissors with a panda sticker on the handle of it.

" Seryu," I asked, shocked beyond reason " What happened? Who did this?" Even though I only met her a couple days ago and we had only had small conversations over the days about random things going on in the market.

" I beat one, I beat one of Night Raid," she said still smiling " Justice has prevailed." I ignored her ramblings and picked her up in bridal style.

" Where's the nearest doctor," I asked the crippled girl in my arms " There should be one who can help you."

" I know one," She responded rather quickly " He lives a couple blocks from here actually." Once she directed me where to go I ran there at a moderate speed with a jealous Coro trailing behind me.

Once I got there I quickly knocked on the door a couple times. I heard muffled footsteps approaching the door and I straightened my posture, which I didn't think helped considering I had a giant dog behind me. He had turned back to normal although he was still a gigantic version of himself for some reason. I heard the door unlocking and then opening. There was a purple haired man at the front door with glasses on, he opened his mouth to say something but I interrupted him first.

" Can you help her," I frantically asked him " She needs help fast." I shoved the unconscious girl near him and h held up his hand.

" Follow me," He quickly answered " Carry her for me, will you?"

I walked inside his house, to say it was lavish was an understatement. It had rugs covering the entire floor and stairs leading up to a second room. Before I could close the door behind I felt fur on my right leg and looked down to see Coro in his normal form walking past me.

I quickly followed the doctor down the steps to his basement which took a little bit too long for my liking even though it probably just felt long because of how anxious I was. Coro was still a bit in front of me, jumping down the steps two or three at a time.

We emerged into the basement or his workshop as he called it. " Place her there," He motioned over to a gurney near the corner of the room. " I'm assuming you don't want to see this, so why don't you wait upstairs." I nodded and walked to the stairs, Coro still stayed with Seryu so I didn't have to worry about him. I ascended the steps thinking about what would happen to Seryu and how she'd recover from this. After I got back up into the ground level part of his house I sat down on the sofa and dozed off after thinking over what i'd do after all this blew over.

Time Skip: Morning

I woke up on the sofa, groggily rubbing my eyes to rid them of sleepiness. I quickly remembered why I was there after a few seconds and bolted down to the basement. " I hope she's okay," I muttered to myself " She's probably one of the only people around here that I even talk to on a daily basis."

As I ran down the steps and quickly got into the workshop, once more feeling anxious I saw the doctor sitting on a counter with some curtains around the gurney where i'd last put Seryu last night.

" Is she okay?" I asked warily bracing myself just incase something bad happened even if there was an off chance she died and is probably just recovering.

" She's fine," He responded and then quickly went into a weird pose " Nothing is too impossible for the great Doctor Stylish!"

I just stared dumbly at him wondering why Seryu would recommend him, there were probably a lot more doctors that wouldn't awkward poses.

" She lost her arms but I was able to replace them with prosthetic limbs to substitute."

" Oh thank god," I breathed out in a sigh of relief " I was worried there for a second."

" That aside I don't think we have been properly introduced young man," He said " You know my name but I do not know yours."

" My name is Ao," I stuck my hand out for a handshake which he shook with his own " It's nice to meet you."

I heard a groan from the other side of the curtains and some covers ruffling. " It looks like she's up," The doctor whispered " You should talk to her."

I nodded and then opened the curtains and nearly tripped over Coro while taking a step into the little corner. Seryu turned to me and smile brightly " Ao," She yelled happily " I'm glad to see you." What I noticed most about her wasn't her terrible bedhead or even that Coro was growling at me but it was that she now had metal arms.

" So that's what he meant by prosthetics," I muttered to myself and Seryu looked at me " Anyway how are your new arms, do they work well?"

" They work great," She responded cheerfully " Even though I was wounded by evil I still get up better and better!" I could see that she was still happy over her victory last night.

" That aside, who exactly did you fight last night?" I asked her, wondering what could've happened to her.

" I fought two of the villains from Night Raid," She responded while clenching her fist and showing determination in her eyes " One cut off my arms and was about to kill me but went back to save her partner since Coro was about to eat her."

" While she was distracted I shot her and Coro ate her, unfortunately she was still alive when the other soldiers from the police arrived and distracted them with her Scissors so that the other small pink one could get away. After that was when you found me and brought me here."

" Wow," I said, amazement clear in my voice " You were able to beat one of the assassins from Night Raid."

While thinking that over I decided it best to be a little more cautious around Coro considering he ate a person last night, not to mention that person was part of the infamous assassin group Night Raid.

" At least you're okay now," I answered " You took quite the beating."

Seryu was going to say more but was cut off as Stylish opened the curtains and told me " She needs her rest, you should probably go now."

After bidding farewell to Seryu and Doctor Stylish, who I got a weird vibe from, I quickly ascended the stairs from his basement and left out the front door.

I thought to myself at what a close call Seryu had with one of the most dangerous people in the capital and how she was able able to do. I still wondered if I could do something like that. Killing them wasn't going to be the hard part, the hard part would of course be the fighting.

' Anyway, Thank goodness Seryu's alive. I was really worried.' I thought to myself as I made my way back to the inn I was staying at and watched the afternoon sun shine brightly in the blue sky.

Well, what'd you think. Also I would like to thank those who followed and favorited this story because it really means alot to me. I think I might ask you guys for the pairing for Ao since i'm not really sure what to do for him. I was think him and Kurome or Seryu, possibly even Akame or Dorothea ( Wild Hunt member that was only in the manga ) but I might leave it up to you guys.

See you guys next time.
