Ice Queens Forgotten Flame
Chapter 2
"So Natsu what is the teigu exactly because it doesn't seem like you have a weapon so is it clothing?" questioned the silver haired general since she genuinely curious.
"Yeah Natsu wait could it be the scarf that controls fire wow that is the coolest thing eve-" said Tatsumi but was cut off by Natsu with the correct answer.
"Actually it was by drinking a Danger Beast' blood Leone knows"
"Well not expecting that" Tatsumi said depressed that he got shut down and went to go sit in a corner.
'So he got his powers the same way that wretched woman got hers' Najenda thought
"Well it's getting late so I'm going to bed." Mine said very tired and annoyed that yet another newbie joined.
"Speaking of bed Leone show our new recruit his room." said Najenda heading to her room.
Then everyone left and it was just Natsu and Leone by themselves and there was silence until Leone spoke up.
"Well c'mon what are you just standing there for?"
"Uhh yeah sorry just thinking. Can I ask you a question?"
"Sure you can ask you're Onee-chan anything."
"Can you teach me how things work around here?"
"Oh well sure so basically we are assassins and we take jobs to kill bad people that are apart of the empire after we're done with those jobs we come back here and report on how we did on the job." she finished as soon as she got to his room.
"Well see you in the morning" Natsu said with a cheery smile
"Goodnight Natsu"she smiled back and walked off to her room.
'An assassination huh let's see where this goes' and drifted off to sleep
Next Morning
"Natsu!" screamed Leone and threw him out of bed into a wall
"Owww just why would you do that?"
"Get dressed and come to the meeting room we need to talk business."and with that said she ran out of the room slamming the door closed.
"Well then I guess I better go" he said as he put his clothes on and walked through the hallways to get to the meeting room.
He opened the door to the room but the wrong one instead the room he opened was Akame's and she was naked with the acception of her panties still on.
"Can you close the door please" she said with the tiniest blush on her face.
"I'M SORRY" he screamed slamming the door shut and ran off to the correct room this time.
"Hey you're here now we just need Akame to come so we start" on cue came in Akame with the same little blush while Natsu looked like a tomato.
"Ok lets see first off Natsu" Najenda started talking then pointed at the pink haired teen
"Y-yeah?"
"Akame will be training you" then Natsu went wide eyed.
"Wait Boss I-" he started but was cut off
"Next Bulat,Mine,Lubbock,and Sheele I need you guys to go on an emergency assignment get your things ready but first go eat afterwards I'll explain"
"Yes Boss" they all said and went to the kitchen leaving Natsu in the room by himself.
'Well this is gonna be awkward' he thought.
The Kitchen
"So this is my first day as an assassin huh" he mumbled under his breath but Akame still heard him.
"There's no helping it you and Tatsumi are stuck with me for training and I'm in charge of cooking."
"I feel like you're only in charge of cooking so you can snack on everything" Tatsumi said.
"Of course not"she said back while eating a grape.
"Somehow I feel like you're lying" he sighed.
"Wearing an apron really fits newbies like you guys"
"Huh"
"Hey Natsu,Tatsumi we leaving now on that assignment thanks for the food."Bulat said
"Wait what about me"Tatsumi said hoping that he could as well.
"You can stay here and protect this place newbie just keep cutting cucumbers or whatever." Mine spit out
'What's her problem anyway' thought Natsu and Tatsumi at the same time somehow.
"Bye newbies" she said laughing walking out of the kitchen with the rest.
"Well Natsu and Tatsumi lets go to the waterfall to get fish"
"Ok"
At the Waterfall
"This is a nice place" Tatsumi said
"Cmon lets go"Akame said taking off her clothes.
'Oh no not again' thought Natsu covering his eyes while Tatsumi was so surprised he fell backwards covering his eyes as we'll.
"Why are you panicking" Akame said with her clothes off
"Huh"
"Oh you had a swimsuit on" Tatsumi breathed out
"Ohh ok I see, my turn"Natsu said as he slipped of his pants and shirt
"DUDE WHERE IS YOUR UNDERWEAR" Tatsumi screamed
"Guys wear underwear?"
While all this was happening Akame just looked at the naked Natsu with his third leg but then she shook out the thoughts from her head as she had a job to do.
"T-today our target is Toga Tuna this is the best place to find them"said Akame still surprised at Natsu's not so little guy.
"What but aren't those fish hard to catch not to mention find?" Tatsumi said but Akame just hoped in the lake and 3 tuna came flying out of the water and she popped her head out of the water.
"Burst Fishing?" Tatsumi breathed out.
"It's easy just go to the bottom and remain still and the moment they come close you strike can you guys do it."
"Easy I've done this many times before" Natsu said before diving in the water.
"Bring it" Tatsumi said taking off his sweater and diving as well
As soon as Tatsumi made it to the bottom he closed his eyes to concentrate then he felt movement and he attempted to grab it.
'Yes I got i-' but he felt something punch him he then hurried back to the surface and Natsu did at the same time
"What the hell why'd you punch me."
"Because you didn't grab a tuna you idiot" said Natsu
'Oh no please don't tell me I grabbed it' Tatsumi thought
"Well it was your fault for moving so much. Wait why were you moving I thought Akame said to be still"
"Because I'm faster than the fish"
"Bullsh-"Tatsumi said but was cut off by Natsu.
"Look I'll show you" he said diving back in.
Tatsumi couldn't believe it, all he saw was a pink blur underwater and then Natsu came back up with six tunas in his hands.
"See told you"
"Whatever I bet I can catch more than you"
"Fine the loser has clean dishes by themselves for two weeks."
"Ok then"
They shook hands and afterwards made it back to the headquarters
"So… In the end Tatsumi only caught two fish and Natsu caught 20" Najenda started while eating a tuna head.
"I heard he tore his clothes off and yelled bring it on" Leone teased
"He is still far to naive"
"Ok Leone let's hear this case of yours"
"Very well" she said bringing out two pictures of fully grown men "The targets this time are Ogre from the Imperial police and Gamal and oil merchant. According to the client…"
Flashback in a cemetery
In the cemetery was Leone backed up to a tree speaking to a woman wearing a robe around her body speaking to Leone.
"Gamal has been paying Ogre a huge amount of bribes. Each time Gamal commits a crime, Ogre covers it up by putting the blame on an innocent. My fiance was one of them, executed for a crime he didn't commit."The woman cried out but continued speaking "Please… correct this injustice!"
"Understood. I'll send them both to hell."
The woman continued crying and fell to knees repeating "Thank you so much."
Flashback End
Leone pulled out a bag filled with money and started "This is the payment"
"That's quite a lot" Tatsumi said very surprised.
"She smelled of disease.I imagine she sold her body many times to get this amount of money"
Najenda lit up a cigarette and said "All right Night Raid accepts this case we don't need people like that in this world. We will bring them divine punishment"
"Gamal should be easy but Ogre is a formidable opponent. However on his off time he drinks on Main street" Leone said
"It seems like that's the best time to strike" Tatsumi said.
"But the problem is Akame is on wanted posters all over the place"
"I'm not on any wanted posters" Leone said enthusiastically lifting her hand.
"Can you do it?"
"The stronger the enemy the more I wanna take 'em down!"
"Why not wait until Mine and the rest come back" Akame said finishing a fish head
"But we don't know when they will come back,right so let's just do it ourselves" Natsu said smacking his hand in the table.
"Oh? Are you saying you'll take down Ogre by yourself?" Najenda said exhaling out smoke.
"Eh"
"Well it did sound like you wanted to right. You better live up to those words." said Leone
"Of course not to brag but I'm pretty sure I'm the best here at Night Raid" Natsu stated which made Tatsumi spit out his drink at Natsu's boldness.
"But can you bring yourself to kill a person" Akame said
"I basically already have" Natsu said sadly remembering the dragon he killed when he was little called Igneel.
"So you're saying you can kill without hesitation at any time"
"While we stand here he could be out framing others right, that's why I have to do something, I can't let more lose their loved ones. Nobody else must go through that pain."
"Then it's decided Natsu will eliminate Ogre by himself go and prove yourself"
"Well said Natsu you have great resolve"
"Leone,Akame,and Tatsumi will deal with the merchant" Najenda stated before walking out the room.
"Alright well see you guys later I'm going to kill Ogre"
"Don't get cocky Natsu if you do you'll die" Akame stated plainly
Main Street
"Natsu have you memorized the map?"Leone spoke
"Yeah front and back" Natsu said unenthusiastically with a frown on his face as he remembered what Akame said
"Natsu I should tell you about Akame's past. When she was a child…( I will not say her past because I'm to lazy plus I'm sure you all know it anyway) By that time all the kids she trained with died. You understand what I'm saying right?"Leone finished.
"Yeah Yeah"
With Natsu because Leone and Akame scene was pointless
"Um Excuse me Ogre sir. There is something I'd like to ask you"
"What is it spit it out."
"Not here in public though. Let's go to that alley where I'll totally not kill you"
"What"
"What"
"Fine boy"
They both headed to the alley and Natsu got on his hands and knees and said.
"I beg of you please let me join the Imperial Army I need money to help my poor village" He said crying.
"I thought it was something like that, listen brat apply at the barracks like everyone else" Ogre sighed and walked away.
"I would but, it's a bit hard getting accepted" Natsu smiled as he pulled out a flame dagger in one hand and a flame short sword in the other.
"That's to bad" Ogre said as he saw Natsu pull out his weapon.
"I guess you're just not strong enough" he said slowly putting his hand on the handle to his sword and swung behind him but he didn't see Natsu there instead he only felt pain in his abdomen.
'H-he's fast' Ogre thought before falling to the ground.
"I did it guess I better head back and report it-" Natsu said before he heard something behind him.
"RAAAA" Ogre swung his sword at Natsu but he barely blocked it and was sent flying into a wall.
'So much strength'
"Did you think I Ogre the Great would die from that"
"Hah maybe"Natsu laughed out
"I bet you're one of of those Night Raid dogs, aren't you. You weaklings can yap about injustice but in this city might makes right! I'm the one who holds the fate of others in my hands! You will never hold mine!"
"Shut up" Natsu screamed out changing out his dagger and short sword for a flame long sword and jumped up to swing downward on Ogre who attempted to block it but his sword broke in half from the strike and then he felt pain threw out his whole body.
"AHHH" he screamed before slowly ripping apart from the middle yeah that's right Natsu cut this dude in half.
"I will eradicate more trash like you from this world" he said as he cooly walked off making his long sword disappear.
Night Raid HQ
"Excellent work on taking out the target Natsu, for that I commend you" Najenda said sitting in her chair with a cigarette in hand.
"Thanks. What do think Akame was I to cocky. I made it back without a scratch on me." Natsu finished.
But Akame had to make sure so she ripped off his purple vest.
"Wh-what are you doing"
"Leone,Boss help me out"
"Wait Akame remember Natsu doesn't have underwea- Ahhh my eyes" Tatsumi screamed out but was to late as Leone pulled down his pants.
"Oh I forgot" Akame said
"Well what do we have here" Leone said
"That's unexpected" Najenda said
Akame was blushing and so was Najenda and Leone but she continued to look at his body for any marks.
"Thank goodness"
"Huh"
"I had a friend who came back from his mission but was too proud to report his injury they were poisoned and he died" she said smiling.
"First missions have a high mortality rate. You've done well" she said as she put out her hand to which he accepted.
"Thanks Akame and I'm sorry for misunderstanding"
"It's fine just keep coming back alive,Natsu"
"Of course, I hope we can build a strong relationship, Akame"
"Pffff what kind of relationship are you trying to build with your clothes off" Leone said laughing.
"You're the ones that stripped me" Natsu yelled putting his pants back on while red like a tomato.
"Ok next Natsu you will train with Bulat and Tatsumi will be with Mine" Najenda said as she walked out of the room.
"HAHAHAHA good luck Tatsumi" Natsu laughed rolling on the floor.
"WHYYYYYYY HERRRR" Tatsumi screamed.
