Hello again everyone, ready for a new chapter.
Chapter 6-normal p.o.v
Its been a month since the mission of sabotaging the Imperial outpost and when everyone saw Espadon, they became curious as to why Tatsumi took it. He explain to them that Espadon use to belong to Tatsulot's previous master and the members of Night Raid were impress that Espadon is compatible with Tatsulot's abilities. At the moment Tatsumi, Akame and Kurome are in the training ground where they are doing a two-v-two match (Tatsumi against Akame and Tatsulo against Kurome). The teams are evenly match as the four fought each other.
As Akame fought Tatsumi (with a wooden sword) her mind was wondering. "Why do I keep on thinking about Tatsumi's body?" She asked herself as she ducked a swing from Tatsumi, thinking that everytime that she wasn't thinking about anything else, her mind wonders to the sculptured form of Tatsumi's body. "Does this has to do with me thinking him as hansome?" Akame thought. "Well, he does look hansome when he wears the armor." Akame thought again remembering yesterday night when they were fighting against the Teigu user and Tatsumi using his newly required weapon. The thought made Akame blush slightly.
It was then that Tatsumi did a powerful swing that cause Akame to stop her thinking and concentrate on countering the attack. Akame blocked the attack but she had to get into a stronger stance as the connected attack almost broke through her defence. She quickly push Tatsumi's sword to the side and then did a powerful swing herself, hitting Tatsumi on the sholdier.
"Owch!" Tatsumi said as he drop his wooden sword and grab his arm. "Are you okay Tatsumi?" Akame asked worriedly as Kurome and Tatsulot stop their fight. "I'm okay, I guess this shows that your the better sword wielder out of the two of us." Tatsumi said smiling which cause her to blush deeply. "And for some reason every time he complement, my heart starts to dance." Akame thought as she clutch her chest. "What does this mean?" She thought again before Kurome cough, catching Tatsumi's and Akame's attention. "Shall we continue or take a break?" Kurome asked as Tatsulot took the opportunity to lay down.
"We stop now, me and Tatsumi have to make lunch now Kurome." Akame replied as she began to walk towards the door and Tatsumi began to walk but. "Hold it right there Tatsumi!" A voice shouted causing Tatsumi to turn around to were the voice came from and he saw Mien with a smug look on her face. "What's wrong Mien?" Tatsumi asked knowing he was not going to enjoy what Mien has with that look on her face. "Don't ask questions and get yourself ready. We're leaving for the capital in five minutes. You are training under me today." Mien replied as she walked away and Tatsumi turn to face Akame. "Sorry Akame, I won't be making lunch from the look of things." Tatsumi said causing Akame to shrug. "Its okay, Kurome can help me." Akame said causing Tatsumi to nod.
Line Break
As Tatsumi and Mien walked to the capital (Whilst Tatsulot is in Tatsumi's pocket) they walked in silence as Tatsumi wasn't sure of what Mien has in store for him. When the three arrived at the capital and they were walking down a street, a thought came into Tatsumi's head. "So it safe to say that you, Leone, Lubbock and Kurome are the only ones safe to go into the capital during the day?" Tatsumi asked causing Mien to nod.
"Your are correct, the others have wanted posters but we're perfectly safe." Mien replied as she indicated to a wall where the wanted posters for Najenda, Bro, Sheele and Akame are. "Come on, we don't have all day you know." Mien said before walking off causing Tatsumi to run after her.
As the two spent their time in the capital, Tatsumi was confused because the only thing that they were doing were going to clothes shops. "What exactly are we doing?" Tatsumi thought watching Mien looking at some articles of clothes. After an hour of shopping, Tatsumi, Tatsulot and Mien are sitting at a restaurant that overlooked a lake. "Having something to eat after a shopping trip is nice." Mien said as she ate a piece of food that she is eating. "For you maybe." Tatsumi said quietly but Mien heard him. "You be quite Tatsumi, do you expect me to carry the shopping by myself?" Mien asked. "If I wasn't here maybe." Tatsumi replied causing a tick mark to appear on Mien's head.
Just then a thought came into Tatsumi's head. "Hey Mien, I thought that you are training me today. The only thing we been doing is your shopping." Tatsumi said causing Mien to smirk. "Technically speaking we were. The training was to blend in." Mien explained causing Tatsumi to nod. "Although we need caught some attention because of your eye-patch." Mien said causing Tatsumi to frown slightly. "And do you have to bring her out?" Mien asked referring to Tatsulot who was eating some food from Tatsumi's plate. "Come on Mien, people can only see her if they were sitting at this table." Tatsumi replied because he moved objects on the table so that Tatsulot is well hiding from anyone sitting at other tables.
"Well if she is discovered, I'm putting the blame on you." Mien said causing Tatsumi to roll his eyes. "Sure Mien." Tatsumi said before Mien had a thinking face on. "Speaking of Tatsulot, what happened to Espadon? I haven't seen it except when you are hunting." Mien asked causing Tatsumi to smirk. "Well since Espadon is created from the same Danger beast as Tatsulot, she can store it within her body." Tatsumi explained causing Mien to become shocked.
"What!" Mien shouted causing Tatsumi to glare at her. "For someone who teaching me to blend in, your showing a bad example." Tatsumi whispered causing Mien to become confuse before looking around to see a few people looking at her. This cause Mien to blush slightly causing Tatsumi to snicker slightly. "Shut up you." Mien said whacking Tatsumi on the head and Tatsulot looked at the scene in amusement.
Lien Break
After Mien, Tatsumi and Tatsulot returned back from the capital, Najenda gathered the members of Night Raid because of a mission that was recive from the Revolutionary army. The mission involves the assaination of a prime minister's relative and Tatsumi and Tatsulot were partnered up with Mien who will be doing the actual assassination whilst the others will be dealing with the guards. Akame wanted to speak to Tatsumi about something but Mien dragged him and Tatsulot out of the door, causing Akame to glare at Mien's head.
"So this is the targets home?" Tatsumi asked as he, Mien and Tatsulot (who is in her full size) are positioned on a cliff where they got a clear view of the the prime minister's relative's home which was huge mansion. "Yep and he should be coming soon." Mien replied before shivering. "Cold?" Tatsumi asked causing Mien to shook her head. "No I'm fine." Mien replied acting brave but then shivered again causing Tatsumi to shake his head. "Tatsulot." Tatsumi said causing Tatsulot to nod her as she moved so that she between Tatsumi and Mien before increasing her body temperture.
"That's better." Mien suddenly said before realizing what she said and started to blush which cause Tatsumi and Tatsulot to laugh. "S-shut up you two. I need to concentrate." Mien said as she got into a positioned that allowe's her to fire her Teigu more easily. "Mien, what Teigu do..." Tatsumi began to ask but Mien interrupt him. "Shush, he's coming." Mien replied causing Tatsumi to become quite and look through his telescope. After a few minutes of searching, Tatsumi saw a man coming out of the entrance with a group of people surrounding him.
"It a difficult shot, do you think you can hit him?" Tatsumi asked causing Mien to smirk. "A difficult shot? Please, your speaking to a master sniper here." Mien replied as she press the trigger, causing a beam of light to shot out of the rifle which hit the target squarely in the head. Mien's action cause a commotion to occur and the three show a group of people running in their direction. "Come on, time to move." Mien said as she got up and headed into the woods being followed by Tatsumi and Tatsulot who are both stunned at Mien's accuracy.
The three walked in silence as they headed to the agreed meeting point with the others. "The others will be handling the guards that were dispatched." Mien said causing Tatsulot and Tatsumi to nod at her. "I wonder what sort of past Mien has that led her to be a member of Night Raid?" Tatsumi thought looking at Mien thinking that she use to belongs to a high-class status. "Since you two been good today, I will tell you about myself." Mien said suddenly causing Tatsulot to look at her curiously and Tatsumi stared at her . "Speak of the devil." Tatsumi thought as he swea-tdrop.
Mien told the two that she was born in the capital but she lived on the streets due to the deaths of her parents. However she was born with mixed blood, meaning Mien was half tribal which cause her to be treated badly within the capital. "With the death of the Prime minister, the land that the western tribes lost will be given back to them and have their own rights back. This also means that no mixed blood child will not have to through what I have to go through." Mien said, saying the last part sadly causing Tatsumi and Tatsulot to see her in a new light. " This can lead me retire as a celebrity when the revolution is over." Mien said causing the two to sweat-drop.
After a few more minutes of walking, the three arrived at a clearing where a tree stood at it's centre. "Mission finish." Mien said as she sat on the ground exhausted. "The mission isn't finish until we report back to boss." Tatsumi replied whilst Tatsulot nodded. "You two spent to much time with Akame and Kurome." Mien said quietly but both of them heard her. "Tatsumi...what happened to your left eye?" Mien asked causing Tatsumi to become tense.
"That's kind of personal." Tatsumi replied causing Mien to glare at him. "I've told you about my past so at least be polite and share something about yourself to me." Mien said angrily causing Tatsumi to look sheepish. "O-okay, it happened when I was fighting a group of bandits and when I was in armor mode with Tatsulot, the bandits cause the both of us to become angry which cause a reaction to occur, changing my eye." Tatsumi explained causing Mien to become surprise. "Can you show me your eye?" Mien asked and Tatsumi was about to remove his eye-patch but Tatsulot started to growl in a direction.
"Whats wrong Tatsulot?" Tasumi asked becoming tense and Mien got off the ground with her rifle ready. The three went silent for a few seconds before Tatsumi's eye widen. "Move!" Tatsumi shouted and the three dive in different directions and a few seconds later a figure appeared where they once stood. "Well you three got good reflexes, especial that dragon." The figure said who is reveled to be a male wearing a uniform of some sort. "One of the guards must have went pass the others." Mien said getting up and pulling a knife from some where on her person.
"Mien, let us deal with him." Tatsumi said as both he and Tatsulot got in fount of Mien. "Tatsulot, bring out Espadon." Tatsumi said causing Tatsulot to open her mouth, where upon a ball of light flew out which turned into Espadon when it reach Tatsumi's hand. "So that how she stores it." Mien thought thinking for a while how Tatsulot holds Espadon. "Prepare yourself." Tatsumi said as he and Tatsulot charged at the the guard and started to attack him.
"You honestly believe you and your Teigu are a match for a me?" The guard asked gleefully dodging the attacks and attacking with his fists. "We have to see about that." Tatsumi replied as he strike the guard with Espadon who manage to dodge it but Tatsulot bit him on the leg. "Owch!" The guard yelled as he jump back slight after Tatsulot released him, rubbing the place where you were bitten.
"Those fist movements, you belong to the Imperial fist temple." Mien said causing the guard to laugh slightly. "Well I was apart of the Imperial fist temple, but I was kick out for bad behavior." The guard said before getting into a battle stance once again. "Round two, is it?" Tatsumi asked as the three went into battle again, however this time the guard manage to hit Tatsulot on the side causing her to stumble slightly and threw a barrage of punches at Tatsumi, causing him to be sent flying and spit blood.
"Now for you, little girl." The guard said as he walk towards Mien. "You stay away from me." Mien said as she brandish her knife in front of her. "Do you really think that a knife will save you?" The guard asked, getting to Mien and she knows this to be true and she won't have time to use her Teigu. Just then, Tatsumi and Tatsulot grabbed the guard by the sides and hold him tightly. "Now Mien, shoot him!" Tatsumi shouted at Mien and Tatsulot grunted in agreement (due to her mouth being around the guard's right leg.) "Tatsumi, Tatsulot. You willingly through your lives away." Mien said through fake tears. "Get on with it!" Tatsumi said as he and Tatsulot gain tick marks.
"Prepare yourself then. You going to see the power of a master sniper." Mien said as she pointed her Teigu at the guard and prepare to fire. The guard saw what was coming and try to ferociously get Tatsumi and Tatsulot off him, but the two held firm. "Disappear." Mien said as a beam of energy shot from the barrel of her Teigu and Tatsumi plus Tatsulot got out of the way just as the beam of energy hit the guard in the chest. The guard stood there frozen with a gapping hole through his chest. "Y-you won't get a way with this. When the Prime minister hears this, he will hunt you down and kill you Night Raid." The guard said weakly before falling over, dead.
"That was difficult to hold him. Right Tatsulot?" Tasumi asked as he got of the ground as his Teigu partner nodded in reply. "You two did well...for newbie's." Mien said causing the two of them to glare at her, but Mien just looked the other way, smirking.
Line Break
When the other members of Night Raid arrived at the meeting point, they happy that the three of them (Tatsumi, Tatsulot and Mien) were okay and then they headed back to base as quickly as possible. Right now, Tatsumi and Tatsulot are in their bed room and whilst Tatsulot is asleep, Tatsumi is still awake thinking. "Akame looked very worried when the others arrived. Despite having a reputation as a cold-hearted assassin, she is very concerned about her friend's safety." Tatsumi thought as he stared at the ceiling. "I wonder what of past she and Kurome have that cause them to join Night Raid?" Tatsumi thought again thinking of how the two of them are beautiful yet deadly assassins.
"Wait, why did I thought of them as beautiful?" Tatsumi thought questioningly, realizing what he said and began to blush. "I guess this all because of Akame being my mind." Tatsumi thought thinking how when he wasn't focus on something, his mind would wonder over to Akame. "Am I really fallen in love with her?" Tatsumi asked himself before a knock on his door is heard. "Coming!" Tatsumi shouted as he got out of his bed and walked towards the door. When he opened the door, he saw Akame wearing a nightie.
"Hello Akame, is there something wrong?" Tatsumi asked looking at Akame who began to blush slightly. This cause Tatsumi to become confuse and when he looked at where Akame was looking at, he began to blush as well as he was only wearing boxers. "S-sorry Akame, I put some clothes on." Tatsumi said as he began to close the door, but Akame prevented him. "No, its okay Tatsumi. Can I come in?" Akame asked causing Tatsumi to raise a eye-brow. "Sure." Tatsumi replied as he let Akame into the bedroom.
Akame looked around the room, smelling Tatsumi's scent that lingers around the room. Her eyes landed on Tatsulot who was sleeping on the table. "Good, I don't won't to be disturbed." Akame thought slight relived. "So do you want something Akame?" Tatsumi asked, gaining the attention of the red-eye assassin. "Tatsumi...what do you see me as?" Akame asked, causing Tatsumi to be confuse slightly. "I see you as dear friend of mine." Tatsumi said truthfully causing Akame to smile slightly. "That's good a start." Akame thought happy.
"Why are you asking?" Tatsumi asked unsure where this conversation his heading. "I-I was just wondering, that's all." Akame replied slightly nervously which Tatsumi picked up. "Is everything all right Akame?" Tatsumi asked as he walked up to her and hugged her, causing the two of them to blush slightly."E-everything is all right Tatsumi." Akame replied feeling something in her rise. "Well, if there's something wrong, you can tell me." Tatsumi said causing Akame to push Tatsumi away from her slightly causing confusion to appear on Tatsumi's face.
"T-Tatsumi I think I..." Akame began to say but then thrust her head towards Tatsumi's own and capture his lips. Tatsumi was completely stunned at what was happening at first but then kiss Akame back. After a minute of kissing, the two broke apart and look at each other. "I think that I'm in love with you." Akame said smiling whilst blushing causing Tatsumi to blush as well. "Akame... I love you as well." Tatsumi said.
"I'm glad that you think the same way, I thought there was a possibility that I was going to be rejected." Akame said causing Tatsumi to smile softly. "Akame...if I did reject you, I make sure that I make it up for you." Tatsumi said before the two of them brought their lips back together. When they broke a part, Akame looked over to Tatsumi's bed. "Tatsumi...is it okay if I sleep with you to night?" Akame asked blushing slightly. "If that what you want, then sure." Tatsumi replied before giving Akame a peck on the lips before the two of them went into his bed.
And there we have it, Tatsumi and Akame have confess their love for each other. I hope that you will continue enjoying this story and it will pleases me if people review this story more. Until next time everyone.
