Hello again everyone and thank you for your reviews (I think that in terms of reviews, this story is getting them more faster than my last story). Now for the chapter.

Chapter 4

Its been a month since Tatsumi completed his first mission and when the others heard this, Tatsumi almost died from the lack of air because Toka was hugging him too hard. Over the two weeks, Tatsumi manage to visit Lubbock who owned a bookstore in the Capital called the Book of the night. Lubbock immediately became jealous that Tatsumi is a member of Night Raid. However Lubbock did ask Tatsumi if he could get some pictures of the girls which earned him a smack on the head by Leone.

Currently Tatsumi along with Akame are in the kitchen making breakfast. Whilst Tatsumi was focus on preparing the food, Akame's thoughts are on something else. "Why I'm feeling like this when I'm with Tatsumi?" Akame thought as she tried to focus on the food. "When I''m around Tatsumi I feel giddy." Akame thought again and it was then that Tatsumi notice something.

"Akame...I think that you cut those carrots enough now." Tatsumi said causing Akame to become confuse as she look down to see that the carrots are in extremely small pieces. "S-sorry. I didn't realize what I was doing." Akame said as she gain a slightly panic look on her face. "It's okay Akame, things happen." Tatsumi said whilst smiling brightly causing Akame's cheeks to turn red. "Here we're go again. Every time Tatsumi smiles like that my heart beats faster. What does this mean?" Akame asked herself and Tatsumi notice her red cheeks.

"Are you okay Akame? Your cheeks are red." Tatsumi asked slightly worried causing Akame to become nervous. "I'm fine Tatsumi." Akame said quickly before taking the cut up carrots and putting them in the pot. "I'm worry about Akame." Tatsumi thought as he look at the back of the red-eye assassin's head. It was then that the door to the kitchen opened revealing Leone, Saya and Toka. "Morning you two." Toka called causing Tatsumi and Akame to turn their heads towards them. "Morning Leone, Toka, Saya." Tatsumi replied as he put the cut up meat into the pot.

"Tatsumi. Boss asked me to tell you that she want you to wake up Mine, your training with her today." Leone said causing Tatsumi to freeze slightly. "I'm...training under her?" Tatsumi thought trying not to think of what horrors Mine will put Tatsumi through. "Don't worry Tatsumi, Mine won't push you too much...I hope." Saya said causing Tatsumi to sweat-drop. "That's not very encouraging." Tatsumi thought as Toka notice something. "Akame...why are you holding Tatsumi's hand?" Toka asked causing everyone else to become confuse.

They look down to see that Akame's hand is on Tatsumi's own. The room fell silent (except for the sound of the pot boiling) as they try to register what they are seeing. Akame's hand suddenly shot off Tatsumi's like she been electrocuted. "S-sorry Tatsumi." Akame said whilst holding her hand and her blush deepened. "O...kay. I'll go and wake Mine up then. Bye." Tatsumi said awkwardly before leaving the room. "Mmmm. It looks like that I have some competition for Tatsumi's heart." Leone thought as she gaze at Akame who was quickly getting breakfast finish.

What wrong will Akame all of a sudden?" Tatsumi thought as he walked down a corridor. "She never acted like this before, acting all nervous and such. She been acting like this since my first mission." Tatsumi thought with a deep thinking face on. "Well, she's not the only one though. Every time I'm not thinking about anything important, my mind will always bring up that image of Akame smiling. I very like that smile." Tatsumi thought before his widen slightly.

"I'm I...falling in love with Akame?" Tatsumi thought as he tried to proccess what he said. "Well, she is a beautiful girl and is a skill assassin. But...does she feel the same way though?" Tatsumi thought before his thoughts turned to Leone. "And there's Leone. She's been very clingy to me ever since my first my mission. Does she...have a crush on me or something?" Tatsumi thought before shaking his head. "I need to stop thinking about this for now." Tatsumi thought as he continue walking. After a few minutes, Tatsumi is outside Mine's room. "Mine! Are you awake?" Tatsumi asked whilst knocking on the door.

He could movement behind the door and after a few seconds, the door opened. "Is there something you want Tatsumi?" Mine asked and when Tatsumi saw Mine, he immediately turn his head to the side with a big blush on his face. The reason for this is because Mine is just in her underwear. "Er...Boss ask me to wake you up since your training me today." Tatsumi replied still not looking at her causing Mine to become confuse. "Tatsumi. You know its rude not to look at the person that your talking to." Mine said causing Tatsumi to mentally face palm.

"Why don't you put some clothes on first." Tatsumi said making Mine more confuse as she look down at herself. "AAAA!" Mine shouted as she suddenly shutting the door in Tatsumi's face. "I hope that she won't kill me like in the anime." Tatsumi thought as he take a step back and waited. Meanwhile on the other side of the door, Mine is breathing heavily with a flustered look on her face. "I can't believe that I showed myself to Tatsumi like that!" Mine thought as she continue breathing heavily. "Tatsumi...how much did you saw?" Mine asked in a quite tone of voice.

"...Not a lot...but I did saw some pink though." Tatsumi replied nervously trying not to think of what Mine's response will be. "...I see." Mine said as she tried to calm herself. "So...should I go and wait somewhere whilst you get change?" Tatsumi asked still nervously. "I'll be a few minutes. You can go and get prepare. We're going to the Capital." Mine replied before putting on some clothes causing Tatsumi to nod on the other side of the door.

Line Break

After the small incident, Mine and Tatsumi headed to the Capital for Tatsumi's training however when Tatsumi asked what they doing, Mine would tell him to shut up. At the moment Mine is inside a shop whilst Tatsumi waited outside. "Hehehe. I have Tatsumi for the rest of this chapter. I'll show him what a Superior can do to a rookie." Mine thought menacingly as she walked out of the shop and when she saw Tatsumi, she became shock. This is because Tatsumi is being flirted by a girl with long chestnut brown hair and brown eyes. She is wearing cream coloured clothes and around her neck is a blue gem.

"So what a handsome boy from the country-side like you doing in the Capital then?" The girl asked whilst stroking Tatsumi's cheek who currently has a big blush on his face. "I-I-I'm with a friend and we're..." Tatsumi began to reply but stop due to the closeness of the girl. "Hehehe. Your cute when your flustered." The girl said whilst giggling. Mine at this point is shaking with rage. "Hey!" Mine called causing Tatsumi and the girl to turn towards her and Tatsumi began to sweat. "What going on here Tatsumi?!" Mine demanded as she stormed up to the two.

"Oh, hi Mine...well you see..." Tatsumi began to reply but was having a hard time finding the words due to Mine glaring at him. "Oh? Is this your girlfriend Tatsumi?" The girl asked causing Tatsumi and Mine to blush. "She/He isn't my girl/boyfriend." Tatsumi and Mine shouted at the girl who laughed. "Good. Why don't you come with me Tatsumi. I think that you have more fun with me then with this girl." The girl said as she hug Tatsumi's arm and Mine gain a tick mark. "Why do you do us a favor and go away before a send a bullet though your head!" Mine shouted in rage causing the girl to laugh.

"Okay, okay. I'll go." The girl said as she release Tatsumi and began to walk away but stop to give Tatsumi a wink before walking again. "Grrrrr." Mine growled glaring daggers at the girl. "...Mine, are you okay?" Tatsumi asked nervously expecting Mine to yell at him. However Mine closed her eyes and sighed heavily. "Yes, I'm fine now. Come on now, we got stuff to do." Mine said before walking off and Tatsumi sighed in relief.

The two of them explored the Capital and Mine went into clothes shops making Tatsumi carry the things she bought. This went on for a hour and currently Mine and Tatsumi are outside a cafe. "Wow. I did buy a lot." Mine said happily as she took a piece of food. "Yeah, you sure did." Tatsumi said with a tired look on his face. "I'll think that pink is a suitable colour for spring. Don't you think so Tatsumi?" Mine asked causing the green eye assassin to become confuse. "You always wear pink so its nothing new to me." Tatsumi thought before another thought enter his mind.

"There were a lot of miserable looks while we were shopping." Tatsumi said causing Mine to look at him. "That's because of the economy and the current government. Okay mission complete." Mine said in a happy tone of voice causing Tatsumi to gain a tick mark. "The only thing we're done is shopping!" Tatsumi shouted causing Mien to slap him. "How haughty." Mine said as Tatsumi hold his red cheek. "I'm your Superior so underlings don't complain." Mine said before hitting Tatsumi again and the people sitting at the other tables just look at Tatsumi with sympathetic looks.

"I show you what powers a superior has." Mine said with a smug look on her face. She took out a pen and started to draw on the wall and Tatsumi became curious at what Mine is drawing. When Mien finished Tatsumi saw that she draw a huge circle split into segments and Tatsumi saw titles of manga's in each one. "I can send you to a manga of my choosing." Mine said with a triumphant look on her face. "What?" Tatsumi thought before noticing two segments. "Akame ga kill and Akame ga kill zero?" Tatsumi asked causing Mine to look at the circle. "Oh! They are mistakes that I made." Mine replied quickly as she tried to rub them off.

"Why would Akame have manga's named after her?" Tatsumi thought whilst scratching the back of his head before noticing a crowd. "What's going on over there?" Tatsumi asked causing Mien to look where Tatsumi is pointing. "A public execution. They pretty common in the Capital." Mine said as she and Tatsumi approach the crowd and saw five people crucified. "What sort of Prime Minister do we have?" Tatsumi asked trying not be sick. "A monster who use his power to cause people to go into despair." Mine replied and Tatsumi saw determination look in her eyes.

"But I won't let be push around. I'll survive this war and be on the winning side." Mine said with determination causing Tatsumi to look at her surprise. "We should probably go back now." Mine said causing Tatsumi to nod his head and the two began to walk however the two only took a few steps before Mien stop abruptly. "What wrong Mine?" Tatsumi asked whilst placing a hand on the hilt of Incursio. "Its that girl again." Mine hissed through her teeth and Tatsumi look in the same direction that Mine is looking and the same chestnut brown hair girl waving at them.

"What shall we do?" Tatsumi asked feeling slightly nervous. "...I'll help with carrying the shopping Tatsumi." Mine replied making Tatsumi confuse. "What will that do?" Tatsumi thought confused as he watch Mine taking some of the shopping out of Tatsumi's hands. It was the next thing that Mine did that made Tatsumi shock. Mien suddenly grasp Tatsumi's hand and hold it firmly. "W-what are you doing Mine?" Tatsumi asked feeling his cheeks turn red. "What? I'm I not allowed to hold my boyfriend's hand." Mine replied whilst having a small blush on her cheeks. "Pardon?" Tatsumi asked as he felt his cheeks heating up. Mine leaned close to Tatsumi making him blush more.

"If we act like this then that girl will think that we're dating." Mine whispered in Tatsumi's ear. "I-I see." Tatsumi replied as he looked forward. "Mine's hand is so small and soft." Tatsumi thought trying not to look at Mien. "Tatsumi's hand is strong and warm." Mine thought as she felt her cheeks heating up.

Line Break

Tatsumi and Mine are almost at Night Raid's base and the two of them are still holding hands. The reason for this is because when the two of them left the Capital, Tatsumi asked if they should stop holding hands however Mine replied that the girl might still following them (the two of them have been spotting the girl ever since they saw the crucified people) so Tatsumi just let Mine keep holding his hand. "Er Mine...do you think that-" Tatsumi began to say but stop when they started to hear rustling causing the two of them to stop and became tense. A few seconds later, a slightly frazzled Sheele came out of the bushes.

"Sheele? Are you okay?" Mine asked worriedly seeing the condition that Sheele is in. "I'm fine, just been chasing squirrel who stole my book." Sheele replied as she tried to get the leaves off her clothes. "At least your not hurt in anyway. Did you got the book back?" Tatsumi asked causing Sheele to shook her head. "No, I...?" Sheele began to say but became confuse. "Why are you two holding hands?" Sheele asked causing Mine to become confuse and Tatsumi became nervous. Mine looked down at their still linked hands and just looked at them for a few minutes.

"AAA!" Mine shouted as she released Tatsumi's hands and became flustered. "W-why did you not let go of my hand Tatsumi?" Mine asked as she glared at Tatsumi slightly. "Well I was going to but Sheele interrupted me. And anyway, your seemed to be enjoying it." Tatsumi replied with a smug look on his face cusing Mine to blush. "I-I-I...did not enjoy it!" Mine shouted at Tatsumi.

"Er...should we go inside. The others are waiting." Sheele said nervously causing both Tatsumi and Mien to look at her. "Sure." Tatsumi replied before walking towards base carrying Mien's shopping. "I can't believe how close he was!" Mine thought furiously as she and Sheele followed Tatsumi.

When the three of them got back to base, Boss announced that Night Raid is giving an assignment to assassinate a distant relative of the Prime Minister who has been using the Prime Minister's name to capture women and then torture them to death. Mine is giving the task of killing the relative whilst Tatsumi act as her bodyguard and the others are giving the task of taking out the bodyguards of the relative. Currently it is night time and Mine and Tatsumi are on a cliff that overlooks the residence of the distance relative.

"So this is the place then? Security must be tight." Tatsumi (clad in Incursio) said whilst looking through a telescope. "When the target steps out I'll put a bullet through his head." Mine said as she got herself ready. "I can feel her resolution from here. Mine is really focus." Tatsumi thought as he took a glance at Mien. "Here he comes." Mine said causing Tatsumi to turn his head and look through his telescope again. He could see a group coming out of the mansion and Tatsumi can see their target.

"There's a lot of non-targets around him." Tatsumi commented. "So." Mine replied causing Tatsumi to turn his head at her. "You sure that you can hit him?" Tatsumi asked looking at Mine. "Yep." Mine replied simply before pressing the trigger on her rifle letting a yellow beam of light to fire out of the barrel. Tatsumi's eyes widen when he saw that Mine has hit the target squarely in the head. "Your looking at a master sniper here." Mine said with a smug look on here face. "Wow." Tatsumi said quietly before seeing five figures running in their direction.

"That our time to move." Mine said causing Tatsumi to nod his head. Meanwhile the five guards are running through the forest. "Quick! We mustn't let the killer escape. Otherwise the Prime Minister will have our heads!" One of the guards shouted before suddenly stopping when the guards saw five people in front of them. "Well then. Who's ready for a beaten?" Leone asked whilst cracking her knuckles together.

Line Break

"This path is so hard to walk." Mine grumbled as she step over a tree root. "Do you think the others have dealt with the bodyguards already?" Tatsumi asked causing Mine to to shake her head. "As much I would say yes but no. The bodyguards guards are from the Temple of the imperial fist." Mine replied causing Tatsumi to widen his eyes. "Well if your someone like the Prime Minister's relative then you can get top notch security." Tatsumi said causing Mine to nod her head.

After a few minutes of walking, a thought entered Tatsumi's head. "I wonder what sort life Mine lived before joining Night Raid?" Tatsumi thought as he helped Mine over a small mound. "Since your been good today I'll tell you about myself." Mine said causing Tatsumi to sweat-drop. "Speak of the devil." Tatsumi thought. "I originated from the west of the Empire, I'm half tribal." Mine started to explain. "In the Capital I was discriminated because of my status. Nobody would except me and I live a wretched childhood." Mien further explained causing Tatsumi to gain a sad look on his face.

"I heard that the Revolution army as allied itself with the west meaning that the western tribes will get their land back and given rights. I joined the Revolution army to make sure that no half tribal child will have to go through the same experience that I did." Mine said with a sad look on her face. "I never seen this side of Mien before." Tatsumi thought. "And I'll render distinguished service to Revolution army and receive a ton of compensation money meaning I can live as a celebrity after the revolution." Mine said whilst laughing causing Tatsumi to sweat-drop.

"And the normal Mine is back." Tatsumi thought before sighing. It was then that something caught is attention. "Whats wrong?" Mine asked seeing Tatsumi looking at something causing Mine to look in the same direction. Her eyes widen slightly when she saw a glowing crack in the air. "What is that thing?" Mine asked as she saw Tatsumi approaching the crack slightly. "This is the thing that those unknown Danger beasts came through." Tatsumi replied as he studied the crack. "Do you think that another of those unknown Danger beasts are about?" Mine asked causing Tatsumi to frown.

"Maybe." Tatsumi replied slowly as he became tense slightly. "I think we should leave it and go and regroup with the others at the rendezvous spot." Mine suggested trying not sound scared. "I guess your right." Tatsumi replied before starting to turn away from the glowing crack. Unfortunately one of Tatsumi's foot is under a tree root causing him to trip. "Tatsumi!" Mine shouted as she watch the armor clad assassin fall into the crack.

"Now that is what I called releasing stress." Leone said with a happy expression on her face.

"You can speak Leone, I didn't get to fight anyone." Saya said in a slightly disappointed tone of voice. "Maybe next time Saya." Sheele said whilst smiling. "Is there something wrong Akame?" Toka asked noticing the frowned look on her face. "There are four bodies here and there should be five." Akame replied before looking at the sky. "Tatsumi, Mine. Please be safe you two." Akame thought with a slightly worried look on her face.

Line Break

"Owch!" Tatsumi shouted as he landed on the ground and he could feel his foot hurting. "Next time. Remember to look where your foot is on a forest." Tatsumi thought whilst getting himself up. It was then that he sense someone behind him causing Tatsumi to turn around just in time to see Mine coming through the crack. "Tatsumi, are you okay? Mine asked as she got to Tatsumi. "I'm fine Min-" Tatsumi was about to reply but stop when he saw the slightly stunned expression on her face. "Mine, are you okay?" Tatsumi asked feeling slightly worried about the pink hair assassin. "Look around you Tatsumi." Mine replied causing Tatsumi to become confuse.

Tatsumi looked around to see that they are in a forest, just like the one they been in before Tatsumi fall through the crack. Tatsumi became more confuse at Mine's reaction but then saw that the air has a sort of distortion to it. "...This is weird." Tatsumi said as he deactivate Incursio. "...So do you suppose where this unknown Danger beasts came from?" Mine asked causing Tatsumi to nod his head slightly. "Should we go back or explore a bit?" Tatsumi asked causing Mine to shake her head. "No. I think that its best if we re-group with the others first." Mine replied causing Tatsumi to nod his head before the two of the started to head back to the crack.

However it was then that Tatsumi heard noises causing him to stop. "What's wrong Tatsumi?" Mine asked as she look over her shoulder at him. "Can't you hear that?" Tatsumi asked causing Mine to become confuse before listen. A few seconds Mine widen her eyes slightly. "Yes, I do now." Mien replied before Tatsumi gain a thinking face on. "Should we have a quick look?" Tatsumi asked looking in the direction that the direction is coming from. Mine frowned as she looked in the same direction before looking at the crack. "I guess that a quick look won't hurt." Mine replied causing Tatsumi to smile slightly.

The two assassins crept through the trees to where the noise is coming from and in a few seconds later Mine and Tatsumi find themselves looking at a bunch of slightly large rabbits with a razor sharp claws eating in a small clearing. Like the two unknown Danger beasts that Tatsumi saw, the rabbits are glowing a soft white colour. "They are cute." Tatsumi suddenly heard Mine said causing him to look at her and he saw Mien with a happy expression on her face. "Never know that Mien like cute things." Tatsumi thought with a amuse look on her face.

"...What are you staring at Tatsumi?" Mine asked glaring at Tatsumi. "N-nothing." Tatsumi said backing away slightly. It was then that the rabbits suddenly stop eating and the two assassins could tell that they became tense. "What got them-" Tatsumi began to say but the stop when he suddenly felt something approaching the two of them at a high pace. "Look out Mine!" Tatsumi shouted before shoving Mine just in time for him to receive a kick to the stomach causing the rabbits to scamper off. "Well well, well. What do I found here? I became curious when I saw a strange crack floating in the air so I came through to explore. And what do I find? Two suspicious people." A male spoke as Mine quickly went Tatsumi's side.

"Are you okay Tatsumi?" Mine asked as Tatsumi got off the ground whilst putting a hand on Incursio. "I'm fine Mine. Your one of the bodyguards, aren't you?" Tatsumi asked causing the male to smirk. "Saying that means that your one's who killed the Prime Minister's relative. I'm going to enjoy bringing your heads to the Prime Minister. " the male replied as he got into a battle stance. "Stand back Mine. I'll deal with this." Tatsumi said as he stood up whilst activating Incursio and Mine nodded her head. "Do you really think that some armor will help you? I'm going to enjoy this." The bodyguard said as Tatsumi got into a battle stance. "We have to see about that!" Tatsumi shouted as he charge at the bodyguard.

Tatsumi got his fist ready and when he got close enough he tried to punch the bodyguard however he leaned back to avoid the punch. "You have to do better then that Night Raid." The bodyguard said before attacking Tatsumi. The Incursio-clad Tatsumi cross his arms in order to defend himself against the barrage of punches that the bodyguard throw at him. "I don't think that using Incursio's red spear won't help me against this opponent." Tatsumi thought as he continue to defend himself from the attacks. It was then that Tatsumi disappeared, causing the bodyguard to become confuse when he started to punch nothing but air.

The bodyguard got into a battle stance before standing very still and Mine became tense as she grip her rifle tightly. It was then that a tiny noise is heard causing the bodyguard to quickly kick the air behind him and he felt his foot connecting with something. "AAA!" Tatsumi shouted as he became visible again and he hit a tree. "You may have the ability to turn invisible but I that doesn't mean I can still hear you." The bodyguard said with a wide smirk before turning his attention to Mine who began to creep backwards slightly.

"No then, I think that I should bring your head to the Prime Minister." the bodyguard said as he approach Mien. "D-don't come closer!" Mine shouted as she point her rifle at the bodyguard who just laugh. "Do you really think that you can stop me with a gun? I'm far quicker then that." The bodyguard said as he got closer to Mine. It was then that Tatsumi appeared behind the bodyguard and slammed his hands onto the bodyguard's head. "Ouch! That hurt you little-" The bodyguard began to say as he turn around but was interrupted as Tatsumi wrapped his arms around the bodyguard's waist.

"Mine! Shoot him!" Tatsumi shouted causing Mine to become surprise."What are you waiting for?!" Tatsumi shouted again as the bodyguard began to pound his fists onto Tatsumi's back. "Tatsumi...you risk your life for me?" Mine asked through fake tears causing Tatsumi to gain a tick mark. "But thanks for the distraction." Mine said as she got her rifle ready. "H-hey. Let go off me assassin!" The bodyguard shouted panicly as he hit his fists on Tatsumi harder. It was then that a big beam of energy shot out of the barrel of the rifle, hitting the bodyguard squarely in the chest.

"The...Prime Minister will...get your heads...one day." The bodyguard said weakly before falling to the ground. "Never mess with a master sn-" Mine began to say but stop when Tatsumi flick her on the head. "What was that for?!" Mine shouted angrily as Tatsumi pointed to one of Incursio's head pieces where it was smoking. "That was a bit close don't you think?" Tatsumi shouted back causing Mine to sigh. "Does that really matter wuss?" Mine asked causing Tatsumi to gain a tick mark. "Would you stop call me...come on, let get out of here." Tatsumi said causing Mine to nod her head before the two of them started to walk back to the crack.

However the two assassin's were un-aware that the two off them were being watched. The person watching them is wearing pure white armor with blue eye-pieces and having a crown-like piece on top of the helmet. Strap to the person's waist is a katana with a blue handle and on her right arm is a medium blue shield. From the shape of the armor the person is female. "It looks like that crack's appearances have becoming more regular." The figure said to herself before hearing footsteps behind them.

The person turned round to see the same girl that was following Mien and Tatsumi in the Capital. "Is there something wrong Wendy?" The figure asked to the now named Wendy. "Its those two people that were here. Never expect them to be apart of Night Raid." Wendy replied as she put her arms around her head. "Well at least they fighting for the new nation." The figure said causing Wendy to nod her head.

Once Tatsumi and Mine got out strange forest and arrived at the rendezvous spot, the others were already there and when they spotted Tatsumi and Mine, they immediately asked what happened to them. Tatsumi and Mine explained to them about finding a crack and going through it to find the strange forest. The girls immediately became worried when they heard that the two of them got ambushed by the remaining bodyguard.

At the moment, Night Raid is back at base and are going to bed after they have giving their report to Najenda. However the only the member of Night Raid who's not going to sleep is Akame who's currently in her pajamas and sitting on the bed deep in thought. "I think I understand this feeling when I'm close to Tatsumi." Akame thought with a small smile on her face. "I think that...I'm in love with him." Akame thought again before closing her eyes for a few minutes.

"I'm going to tell him tonight." Akame suddenly thought as her eyes open and she stood up. When she reach the door of her bedroom, a thought enter her mind. "What if...Tatsumi rejects me?" Akame thought feeling dread enter her body. After a few seconds the red eye assassin shook her head "Don't think about that Akame and just go and tell him. Kill the doubt." Akame thought as she opened the door and started to walk down the corridor. After a few minutes of walking, Akame arrived outside Tatsumi's room.

"Let hope that I won't loose my senses when I see Tatsumi shirtless." Akame thought thinking about about her strange dreams of seeing Tatsumi shirtless (something that Akame enjoyed). Akame knocked on the door and waited. "Who's there?" Tatsumi called from behind the door making Akame relieved that Tatsumi is still awake. "Its me Tatsumi...can I speak to you please?" Akame replied suddenly feeling nervous. "Sure." Tatsumi replied causing Akame to open the door and walk into the bedroom. "Is there something wrong Akame?" Tatsumi asked and when Akame saw Tatsumi's shirtless body, her mind began to loose focus.

"I...I..." Akame began to reply but stop as her mind can't find the words to say. "Akame. Are you okay?" Tatsumi asked as he approach Akame causing her to blush furiously. "To close! To close!" Akame repeated in her mind and Tatsumi notice her red cheeks. "Are you sick Akame?" Tatsumi asked getting worried. "I'm...fine Tatsumi." Akame replied taking a deep beath to calm her nerves. "So...why are you here?" Tatsumi asked looking at Akame confusedly. "Tatsumi...what do you think of me as?" Akame asked deciding to take things slowly.

"A very close and dear friend." Tatsumi replied becoming more confuse. "That's a good start." Akame thought relieved but then starting to feel something building inside her. "Is there something you want to speak to me in private?" Tatsumi asked as he looked Akame right in the eyes. "I can't handle it any more!" Akame thought suddenly and before Tatsumi could say anything, Akame thrust her head at Tatsumi and capture his lips. The sudden action cause the two of them to fall backwards right onto Tatsumi's bed.

Tatsumi is completely stunned at what just happened. "Akame is kissing me! Akame is kissing me!" Tatsumi repeated in his head as he tried to process what is happening at the moment. After a minute, Akame broke away from Tatsumi. "Akame-" Tatsumi began to say but was interrupted as Akame put a finger to his lips. "Tatsumi...I think that I'm in love with you." Akame said making Tatsumi surprise.

"Its okay if you don't feel the same way. I just want you to know." Akame said as she began to get off Tatsumi however the green eye assassin grab Akame's arm making her confuse. Tatsumi kiss Akame making the red-eye assassin shock. "Akame...I love you too." Tatsumi said when he broke the kiss making Akame widen her eyes before a smile appeared on her lips. "I'm glad that you feel the same way." Akame said making Tatsumi chuckle. "Well, I love that smile of yours and seeing it at rare moments makes it more beautiful." Tatsumi said making Akame widen her eyes. "Thank you Tatsumi. I like your body...!" Akame said and it took her few seconds to realize what she said causing her to blush.

"Wow Akame. I never knew that you as so perverted." Tatsumi said smiling brightly causing Akame to punch him slightly. "Sh-shut up Tatsumi." Akame said making Tatsumi laugh slightly. "Is it okay...if I sleep with you tonight?" Akame said feeling nervous all of a sudden. "Well we're half way there already so might as well finish it." Tatsumi said before kissing Akame on the lips again before the two of them fall into a peaceful sleep cuddling each other.


And there we have it and I hope that you enjoy the mention of Lubbock in this chapter. Until next time.
