'Thought'
"Amazon Form"
In the village, the red Amazon, now back in his human form, was crossing out images of the Ant Amazon colony along with the Queen Ant.
"Guess they were able to handle it," he chuckled. He glanced at the folder that was separated from the rest.
One folder showing a file about the young Mole Amazon while the other didn't have much since he could tell that the other Amazon was recently new. Not to mention, it wasn't mentioned in any of the folder he gathered. It was strange, the green Amazon was new to him but at the same time, wondering what the group he worked with did back in the day before that incident.
"Hmm…" He pondered until he saw the pot boiling, making him move it aside from the fire before he checked the eggs and saw they were ready to be consumed. With the food done, he began to see which Amazon to fight next on the list.
By that, he chooses a random folder with his eyes closed.
The Wild Omega
Chapter 7: Kill the Doubts
Several hours have passed since Sheele and I woke up in bed together as well as eating breakfast. She was happy that I asked her to come to my homeworld when this is all over. I mean, that Goddess did mention that I will be brought back home when the situation in this world is taken care of.
I yawned, still slightly tired after last night and all that Sheele and I did… I quickly slapped my face, forcing myself to forget that moment last night.
"Stupid instincts…" I grumbled under my breath as I made my way to the training grounds. Upon making it there, I noticed Mine using her Teigu, Pumpkin I believe, as she was shooting left and right on target marks, each hit being precise and effective.
She seemed a little upset about something but I chose to watch as she finishes off the last few targets, the last one being more brutal than the others, causing me to swallow. "H-Hey, Mine." I waved.
"What do you want?" she frowned at me.
"I-I'm just here to train is all," I responded. "I guess you are too, after that Ant Incident?"
"No… I'm just here shooting the heads off of these dummies that resemble you and the other two newbies…" She rolled her eyes.
I glanced at the said dummies and saw they poorly resemble myself, Tatsumi, and Mamoru. I gulped as I look at Mine, "Look, Mine, I get it you're upset about Mamoru and myself helping out and-"
"Upset? More like furious!" She stomped her foot, "Everything was fine… We ALL were fine until you three showed up…. Until we learned that you Amazons were actually around.. And now everything has gotten worse! To think there are people in the Capital and the villages, being nothing but cannibalistic monsters."
"Mamoru and I are not monsters," I defended.
"Then explain how you killed all those Ants yesterday? Explain how you, Tatsumi, and Sheele, found countless corpses that were from that 'Queen Ant'?"
I wanted to argue but lowered my hand. "Look, I had to tap into those instincts or we would have died! Either I had to do something or we all would have become their next course on the menu."
"More like you're just pretending to…. I swear, if you just plan to eat us, I will make you regret joining the Night Raid…" She frowned, "Sides, at least you being here is the only problem…"
"Me?!"
"Yes, you. Mamoru is nothing more than a child, and Tatsumi is an idiot. You're the only real problem here buddy." She pointed at me. "But at least that's all I have to worry about. Now if you excuse me, I'm going to see if Sheele wants to go shopping."
She walked past me as I watch her leave while I stared at the dummies. I shuddered at the image if Mine would have done it for real to the three of us or worse, me.
"ENRIQUE!" Mine's voice shouted out, and she sounded angrier than before. I turn to see her walking towards me before gripping my shirt, "Explain… Explain to me right now, why Sheele is in your room with your shirt on her?!"
Oh crap… I was getting the feeling that Mine acts like a very protective sister to Sheele as I swore there was fire burning in her eyes. "W-Well…" I gulped, very nervous.
"Spit it out before I tear out your tongue…."
"Okay! Sheele and I are in a relationship!" I answered.
"WHAT!? You and Sheele are together!?" Mine shouted at me. It sounded like she didn't like that one bit.
"Is there something wrong with me being with Sheele?" I raised an eyebrow.
"It is when she is with someone who is a monster, craving flesh!" She pointed at me accusingly. "You are an Amazon! You eat meat and I rather not let Sheele get hurt by you!"
"Mine, look, I understand you don't like me for what I am but I wouldn't hurt Sheele," I responded. "Sheele is a very kind woman even if she is a little clumsy. I do care about her and I love her. I would never harm Sheele."
"Break up with her…."
Hearing this made me look at her, making sure I wasn't hearing this. "You want me to what…?"
"You heard me! I want you to break up with her, right now!" She repeated.
"I won't do that," I denied. "I care about Sheele, Mine. At least she sees me as someone than a something. She sees me as who I am than an Amazon."
"I could care less if she sees you more than an ant! I don't want Sheele to date some….. Some… Monster!" Mine shouted out, her grip tightening.
"Mine, that is enough!" We both turn to see Najenda there, smoking and a very disappointed look on her face. "Regardless what happened to him, Enrique is a part of Night Raid. He is not like those other Amazons."
"But… Captain-"
"No buts. And due to both of you not acting like a team. I believe this next mission calls for you two, to work together." She said, holding up a scroll for the next mission.
"You want me to work with him?!" The pinkette pointed at me.
"It's either him or Lubbock. Your choice." She smirked softly.
"I-But-" Mine tried to find the right choice before she sighed irritably. "Fine… I will work with him…"
"Good, you two will begin the mission tonight," Our boss nodded, handing Mine the Scroll before walking away.
Mine was quiet for a moment as I stare at her, "Mine I-"
"Save it," She said before glancing at me. "And another thing."
I blinked until I felt a kick right where it hurts, making me fall to the ground. "Ow…" I squeaked in pain.
"That's for doing it with Sheele," She huffed, walking away for now.
I groaned before I got up on my knees at first before I finally got back up. It hurt like hell… Easing off the pain that took about a couple of minutes due to that kick of hers, I walked back to my room and opened the door, seeing Sheele reading another book of hers. "Hey Sheele…"
"Hey…." She smiled sweetly before kissing my cheek. When she pulled away she took notice of my expression. "Are you okay?"
"Well… it's about Mine…" I answered as I fell onto the bed. "She thinks that... I shouldn't be with you… since I am an Amazon..."
"Enrique…." Sheele placed her hand on my cheek, "Don't let what Mine say get to you…. She's just trying to protect us is all." She said to me, "You see…. Right when I joined, I was also like you. Unsure if this is what I wanted, despite my calm exterior when I kill… But I didn't know at the time. And during that time, we had another member… One… who I loved as well…."
This had me surprised, Sheele had an Ex? "R-Really?"
She nodded, "He helped me out, and was even the one who not only gave me, my Imperial Arm but helped me become the assassin I am today…. I did love him truly…. But…" She soon frowned, "It turned out he was a spy for the Empire…. And killed a lot of our other members…. Until Mine shot him… Once Najenda figured out that we were compromised, we moved here ever since…." She then turned to me, "So when she's being rude, harsh, and mean to you. It's not because she hates you… She just doesn't trust you yet, and it will take the time to see her true colors."
"But what if she doesn't…? What if she still hates me since I am an Amazon…?"
Sheele placed her hand on my cheek, kissing my forehead as it calmed me down, "Enrique…. She may never tell you this… But she told me, she thought you having these powers, is one of the coolest things she ever saw." She giggled softly.
I blinked, "She does…?" Sheele nodded.
"She told me and Akame when we were in the bath." She giggled, "As well as some secrets from Akame, but that's better for another time."
I stared at her before I sighed, "A-Alright…"
Sheele smiled before hugging me, pressing herself against me, while I noticed her wearing the shirt from the last mission on her person. "I see you are still wearing the shirt I gave you."
"It has your smell… and it relaxes me…" She said softly to me.
"O-Oh…" I recalled that Mine and I will be going on a mission tonight. "I forgot to tell you that boss wants me and Mine to do a mission tonight."
"Well, then this is going to be a good experience for you and Mine!" She clapped with a smile on her face.
"Except she will try and order me around…" I sighed.
"Give it time…. And I'm sure you'll be good friend by the end of it." Sheele smiled, "I mean.. Isn't that what this story tells?" she said, holding up an old book about two enemies becoming friends, but… It was in the style of a children's book.
I chuckled upon seeing Sheele reading it. "You do realize that is a children's book?" I teased.
"But…. it has nice pictures.." She said, showing me them.
"Still, it is a children's book," I patted her head.
As night came through, Mine was waiting at the entrance to this base. Waiting for me to arrive and get this mission over with. She sighed as she looked at the night sky, easily figuring the time from how it all works.
"I'm ready," She turned to me, seeing myself having my coat on as I lifted the collar, hiding the lower half of my face.
"About time… Let's just get this over with…." She sighed in annoyance.
I nodded before I followed Mine to the location. However, as I follow her, she was moving faster as if she didn't want me near her but I understand why after what Sheele told me. I don't blame her either. I was then out of my thoughts when Mine stopped, causing me to stand beside her as the both of us were on a rooftop. She was stared at the place of the target.
"Mine… I understand why you hate me…" I responded quietly. "Sheele told me why…"
"Don't… Even.. Dare…." she glared at me, "You piss me off, I will blow your head off…."
I flinched before turning away, "I am not like that 'Ex' you killed, Mine…"
She flinched, grabbing me before tossing me to the ground. She didn't say anything as she pointed the barrel of Pumpkin at my head, charging up and ready to fire. Seeing this now freaked me out as I could literally feel the heat that was emitting from her weapon. "Mine, please, I just want you to trust me," I explained. "I know you hate me for what I am but I didn't ask for it… I didn't ask to become an Amazon. I just… All I care about is living…"
She still didn't say anything until I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder, causing me to hold back the pain and held back the urge to scream. She actually shot me!
"That is your only warning…." She said coldly before she continued to walk to our destination.
I cringed as I held my shoulder, feeling the pain from it. Since I wasn't in my Amazon form, it was gonna take longer for the wound to heal. I followed Mine a little further until we saw our destination. "Guess this is it," I observed.
"Think you can go in and fish out the target?" She asked, setting up her Pumpkin.
I rubbed my shoulder before I nodded, "Y-Yeah…" I grimaced from the stinging pain. I placed the belt onto my waist and twisted the handle.
OMEGA!
"RAAAAAHHH...Amazon!" I roared before the green energy surrounded me.
EVOLU-E-EVOLUTION!
I was now in my Omega armor the moment the energy died down. Looking at the wound on my shoulder, I saw the wound was healing rapidly.
"Geez, can you be any louder? Why not send a signal flare to tell them where we're at?" Mine yelled at me.
"Either that or I won't be able to go into my Amazon form to finish what we were supposed to do." I countered.
"Just when can you stop being so useless?" She sighed in annoyance.
I rolled my 'eyes' before refocusing on the task at hand. This was another mission that involved spilling blood again. Not the Amazons but another human being…
The feeling was unsettling and sick to my stomach the first time I killed back when I got Mamoru out of that hellhole. Even if my inner self enjoys it, the other part of me didn't…
But remembering how dark and corrupt the government is, it gave me a reminder to how twisted people can be. Even the criminals that do god knows what to the innocent people here in the capital. I hopped into a tree that was by the building, my armored skin helping me blend in as I began to scout the area. I soon noticed two guards about to walk under the tree I was in, beginning to hear a conversation between the two.
"What do you think the boss is doing now?" The first guard asked the fellow person.
"Who knows? Probably another peasant torture or the occasional battle fight with some random orphan against a low-level Danger Beast." The second guard responded, seemingly bored.
I had to hold back against my instincts that were flaring, my anger boiling.
"Speaking of danger beasts, have you heard rumors about those weird ones appearing around the capital? That gives me the creeps."
"You're telling me, and I thought they were not able to get into the capital."
As they were under the tree I got prepared, taking a deep breath to what I was about to do. I quickly grabbed the guard who was close to the tree and pulled him up. He muffled before I held him in a vice grip, increasing the pressure against his neck before he stopped breathing, his body now limp.
"I know," the other guard said, oblivious to the loss of his fellow guard. "Wonder if he'll let us watch? This job is just dull and boring… what do you think?" He turned his head, seeing his fellow person gone. "Hey, where did you go!? You better not have left when I was talking!"
I stared down at the guard who was looking around.
"Come on, man! This isn't funny! Where are you?!" He shouted out once more, turning around to look for him.
I slowly crawled down the tree as his back was facing me. I approach him like any animal would do as it stalks its prey. I grabbed the right handle of my Driver before I unsheathed a dagger from it.
"Dude.. this is getting a bit creepy. Just show your-" I covered his mouth before I slammed the dagger into the temple of his head.
An instant kill…
His body went limp before I dragged him into the bushes to hide his body. I shook my head, reminding myself that I was helping the Night Raid to take down the corruption of the Capital. It never gets easy to kill…
It never does. Like my dad, he too did the same in the military but it was only to protect our home country. Right now, I was doing this to liberate a nation from a corrupt government. I just needed to focus on the end result to take my mind off what I had just done..
The inside of this mansion looked to be made out of pure gold. It lined the walls, ceiling, and floors everywhere! It literally looked like someone just grabbed a mountain of gold and molded it into the mansion. This was the worst way to use money and it was disgusting!
Even further showed several paintings of the target. He looked to be a skinny man with a small beard and a monocle on his face. But his attire screamed that of someone who would toss 100k into a fire to get warmth, and his smile showed that of golden teeth as well and below him showed many of the servants of the mansion, holding him up like he was on a throne.
I growled in disgust upon this. It also made my blood boil in hate but I had to keep control of myself. I continue to spectate the target as I took deep breaths.
Inside what looked to be the throne room, the target was relaxing on the throne, chuckling to himself as he glances at the few servants, trying to put up a new statue of him, "No no no! To the right!" He called out to them.
One of the servants looked tired as she lost balance and nearly fell. "Get back up!" He shouted, standing up and walking towards her, "I said get up!" He shouted, kicking her side, though he noticed she was too exhausted to even stand up anymore. He then simply frowned before pulling out a revolver, pointing at the girl before only the sound of the gun can be heard.
He growled in annoyance as he turned to the guards, "Get rid of this useless body…" He ordered, walking back to the throne before the guards grabbed the body and dragged it away, allowing the other servants to continue.
I clenched my hands upon seeing this. No innocent person deserves to be treated like this… they don't deserve any of this…
It was time to get the job done…
When the guards were gone, I stared down at the bastard as he watched those servants put up that statue. Since my Amazon was that to a reptile, I held onto the wall as I crawled to the wall. Upon so, I reached my arm out and hopped onto the ceiling, holding my own as I look down at the target until I was directly above him.
A small glimmer from outside, was Mine, signaling to see if the shots are lined up yet. I stared at the target once more as he stood up the moment the statue was put up, approaching its glory.
I raised my claw before clenching my hand into a fist, giving the signal. In a split second a small, slim beam of energy shot through, hitting the target through the skull before he dropped to the ground, dead. Though, this did surprise the servants for a moment before they simply dropped the statue on the ground, quickly tearing off the collars on them before rushing out of the mansion, free at last.
"Halt!" A voice of the guards told the servants. I grabbed the handle, hoping this wouldn't turn out.
The guards shoved them aside before they saw the body. They then turned to the servants, though they did look like they wanted to retaliate, they quickly dropped their weapons, hugging some of them as they began to pick what they could carry, mostly food or some currency for their travels.
Seeing this made me release my grip and let out a breath of relief before I crawled outside and onto the rooftop. Upon so, I fell on my rear as I shook my head to clear my thoughts.
"Never easy, is it?" Mine said, now walking up on the roof to me.
"It's never easy…." I responded lowly.
"It's the life of being an assassin…. Only always drawn in by blood…" She said, sitting next to me, "And one that will never go away as long as there are kingdoms."
I was quiet, "It was the same thing with my old man…" She raised an eyebrow. "Back home, he was a soldier for the military, not like this military though… I once asked him why he had to 'hurt' the enemy. He told me 'Killing is a bad thing but there are reasons behind it that leads to that result. For us, we don't unless the enemy tries to harm them.' He regrets killing but he was doing it for the protection and safety of the country…" I raised my head, looking at the stars. "A sin can't be washed away… no matter how much you try, you can't turn away from what you have done…"
"Nor a sin for being from another country…." Mine frowned.
"You still hate me don't you?" I muttered.
She sighed, "That still has yet to be seen…" She responded, "but…. I understand why Sheele likes you." She turns to me, "I saw you struggling to keep it together and kill them easily. But you restrained yourself and did this as a team. So there's some hope for you yet." She smirked.
I turned to her upon hearing her words. I focused on the cells, my body reverting back to human form as I removed the Amazon Driver. "Thanks, Mine," I thanked.
"Don't get so mushy… I'm just acknowledging that you did a good job… for once." She huffed.
I chuckled. It's official, she is indeed a tsundere. And I thought they were seen only in anime. "Come on, let's head back so we can tell boss our report," I said, standing back up.
"Right," she nodded.
The both of us made it back to the HQ as we gave Najenda our report. She felt amused that we didn't mess up on the task as well as working as a team for once since she knew that Mine and I don't get along very much. Not as much as Tatsumi and her since they were slowly warming up to each other but for me and Mine, it was like putting a dog and a cat in the same room.
"Well, glad to hear that the mission was a success. I hope this mission gave you two some more insights into one another?" Najenda smiled softly, taking a puff of her cigarette.
"Yeah…" I nodded.
"Good. But you two aren't done yet." She said, standing up as she then handed me and Mine… aprons? "You two are preparing dinner, for today."
"Great, first I had to cook with the newbie and now him," Mine grumbled.
"Think of it this way. At least you two can try to fix any more kinks in your teamwork." She pointed out. She literally was like a mother, leader, and friend at the same time. Najenda was an enigma through and through.
With that said, Mine and I had to cook dinner. Usually, it was Tatsumi and me which annoyed us both at first but got used to it eventually. Now, it was me and Mine doing the cooking as I was in the middle of boiling some of the food while Mine was cutting up some of the ingredients.
"Stupid boss… why must she torture me with idiots…" Mine muttered to herself, scolding under her breath until she cuts her hand, yelping in pain.
I stared at her before I sighed and approached her, "Let me see."
"I'm fine…" She said, wincing in pain as I take her hand, checking her hand. "You don't have to do this, you know… I'm not helpless…."
"But that wound would get infected if not treated," I countered as I gently looked at it. Reaching in my pocket, I brought out one of those bandages I carried with me. She was confused to the little piece of 'paper' but I gently cleaned her hand and unwrapped the bandage before placing it on the wound. "There."
"Uh… thanks…" She said, "You sure know a lot about survival, huh?"
"I learn a few things along the way," I admitted as I noticed she was staring at my left arm that was wrapped in the white bandages, the fabric reaching up to my elbow and covering my hand while the Amazon Register was still wrapped around my left bicep.
"A reminder, I take it?" She pointed to the fabric.
I glanced at the said arm, making me lower my gaze at it. "Yeah… of that day I contracted those Cells when I arrived in this world," I answered. "But it serves as a reminder that I still am me… but… 'different'..."
Mine was silent, a sadden frown on her face, "Enrique…. I'm... I'm sorry for what I said earlier… I'm… just not too keen on someone getting close to Sheele again and hurting her…"
"I understand, Mine," I nodded slowly. "But I won't let myself hurt Sheele. I do care about her; she means a lot to me."
"As she does to me…." Mine sighed, "Look…. You can still be with her… But…" She glances at me, "Act like a boyfriend and do your best to be by her side and protect her… Cause if she is harmed, and you wouldn't do a thing to help, I will end you…" She then gained a small smirk, "Now, let's hurry up. We need to get this finished quickly."
"Alright," I chuckled.
"And this doesn't mean you have my full trust!" She pointed at me.
"Tsundere…" I muttered.
"What was that?!" She growled.
"Nothing!" I waved my hands.
After we all cooked and finishing eating dinner, I made my way back to my room since it was getting late and I deserved some rest after earlier. I yawned slightly, showing my sleepiness before finally making it to my room. I opened the door before closing it behind me and fell onto the bed, feeling the comfort of the bed once again. I let out a sigh of relief as I felt somewhat relaxed.
"Rough time killing, eh other Amazon?" That familiar voice rang out nearby.
I quickly sat up and there by the window was that guy from before. Wait, how in the hell did he find us!?
"How did you-"
"Depending on how strong the Amazon is, we can smell where they are," He tapped his nose. "I thought this place was a simple area with Amazons, guess it was just you and that Mole from before, living here at this… base."
"Just who are you?"
"Name's Jin. Takayama Jin." He chuckled.
"And why are you here?" I narrowed my eyes at him.
"Beats me." He shrugged, "Maybe I'm hungry, or maybe…. I want to kill you and the Mole."
I quickly grabbed my Amazon Driver but I noticed he laughed. "Relax, I was joking… somewhat anyway." He assured.
"You have a funny way of showing it," I frowned at the red Amazon.
The man chuckled as he made his way back to the window. "Just ask yourself, 'what do you fight for?' Being a new blood and an assassin, you should realize no matter how much you fight, death is always around to take a life." He then turned to me, "And soon, you'll be just like them… Killing anyone without feeling a thing."
He fell back, causing me to rush to the window, only to see him already in his Amazon form, climbing up and vanishing from my sights. And in seconds, the door was busted down by Leone, in her Lionelle form as she growls, looking around the room.
"Where is that, bastard? I knew I smelled him…." She said, her eyes glowing in the dark.
"He climbed up, already gone by now," I answered, sitting down on the bed. "But I found out his name…"
"Well... it's a start…" She sighed, though not changing back to normal. "What is his name?"
"Jin Takayama," I replied. "He thought this was a hiding place for some Amazons but he left thankfully. But… something he said bothered me…"
"What did he say?" Leone asked, now near me.
"He asked me… what do I fight for… even more was that he told me I'll be like them… killing without feeling a thing…"
Leone was quiet as she sighed, "And… he isn't wrong…." She admitted. "We all begin to kill other without feeling any remorse or regret. Heck, sometimes it's replaced by peace and pleasure."
I grimaced at the thought. I remembered when I killed that ringleader, I didn't feel any form of guilt. Nothing. But I didn't want to have the feeling of enjoyment of killing… it felt disturbing.
"Hey…." Leone called out to me, now snapping me out of the trance before I quickly see her face, as she was now inches away from me, a devious smirk on her face as her tail swished, "You know… you look good in the moonlight…"
I gulped before I moved away from her, "Leone, I told you, I'm with Sheele," I reminded the brawler.
"And like I said.. I'm sure she won't mind… Sides…" She grinned, "I see you staring at my breasts." she pointed out.
I quickly looked away, moving further away from her, hiding the blush on my face. "But I mind," I responded.
"If you mind, then why are you blushing and thinking about those thoughts?" She whispered in my ear.
"I'm not thinking of that!" I retorted, moving further to the point that I was at the edge of the bed.
"Oh? Then why may I ask you get so flustered around me? Usually, the only people who do is when they have hidden feelings for me…" She grinned, crawling after me until she was on top.
"Leone, my heart is with Sheele," I explained. "Can you please leave my room…?"
She purred before licking my cheek, "I'll make you mine one day Enrique... And you'll have the best night of your life…" She said, backing up before her tail tickled under my chin before she left the room.
Seeing her gone, I let out a breath of relief as I took deep breaths, trying to calm myself down. Feeling my heartbeat go back to a normal pace, I felt complete relief. Seriously, why does Leone want to continue on when I am with Sheele…? I rubbed my forehead to stop a headache from forming.
"Enrique?"
I looked up to see Sheele there, a soft smile on her face, "Think I can sleep with you, tonight?" She requested.
Seeing her, I smiled in response. I was happy she was here, it would have kept my mind off of things. "Sure I don't mind, Sheele," I accepted. "You are always welcome to sleep here."
She smiled as she walked in, as I noticed her attire, being a simple blouse that reached her knees before she crawled in, wrapping her arms around me as she sighs softly, "I don't think I can sleep anymore by myself, Enrique… This feels too comforting…"
I chuckled as I gently stroke her hair. She was always a kind person. As the night continues, I was staring out the window as she was sleeping softly. I was back in my thoughts from what 'Jin' told me.
The disturbing feeling of enjoying to kill… being like the other Amazons… it was honestly an ominous and scary feeling I don't want to go through…
"Enrique?" Sheele called out. I turned around to see Sheele. "Is everything okay?"
"I…" I started before closing my eyes. "I honestly don't know… I mean… it's just that I'm afraid of ending up like the other Amazons who kill without feeling a thing… I don't want to end up killing for enjoyment…"
Sheele frowned before she placed her hand on my cheek, "Enrique… As far as I can tell, you won't become that type. I don't kill others because I enjoy it…. I do it, not only to help out others, but it's also because well… I'm really good at it." she giggled, "But you have a type of mindset and heart were you won't feel a thing for killing those who are just the worse types of humans."
"Sheele…" I felt touched by her words. It felt like some of the worry was lifted off of my shoulders, causing me to pull her very close to me. "Thank you…"
She smiles upon kissing my cheek as she snuggles into my chest, a heavy yet satisfying sigh escapes her lips as she lays there.
I couldn't help but chuckle softly to see her like this. I closed my eyes, allowing myself to drift off into sleep.
Morning rose, making me open my eyes as the sunlight was beaming down from the window. I grumbled under my breath before my vision cleared, my eyes met with the ceiling of my room. I let out a soft sigh before turning my head to see Sheele still sleeping. Smiling, I kissed her forehead before pulling away as I sat up.
"Ngh.. morning already?" Sheele groaned, "Don't wanna get up…" She mumbled in her sleep, hooking her arms around my chest.
"Come on, sleepy head," I teased, poking her cheek. "You should wake up. It is the morning after all."
"Nauh….." She shook her head, "I wanna stay in bed with you…." She whined.
I pondered for a moment before I decided to pull the blanket off of her, tossing it aside. "We have to eat breakfast you know?" I reminded.
"Can't we eat here?" She complained.
I sighed, "Alright, alright. I'll go get us breakfast."
With that said, I left the room and made my way to the kitchen. As I made my way there, I noticed Mamoru on Akame's back.
"Yay! Keep going, big sis!" Mamoru cheered. "Onward to victory!"
Akame simply smiled as she nodded, continuing to piggyback him through the HQ's hallways. She seemed to really lighten up with Mamoru since he came here. They were now basically inseparable.
"Morning you two," I called out.
Akame quickly stopped what she was doing as Mamoru beamed before he got off of Akame and rushed up to me. "Morning big bro!" He greeted. "Ne, ne! Big sis Akame was giving me a piggyback! It was fun!"
"Really now?" I smiled.
Akame though glared at me, "Don't… say a thing…" She warned me. "I'm.. just doing this for Mamoru…" She said, looking away from us.
"It's okay, Akame. I won't tell anyone," I promised. "It was nice seeing Mamoru happy," I patted his head, making him smile with a laugh. "So what else happened Mamoru?"
"Um… oh! Uncle Lubbock told me some stuff!"
"Really? What kind?"
"Mmmm… something about 'pleasing a woman'? Though, I didn't understand it all…"
I swore a record scratched in my head upon hearing this. "He… what?" I uttered. My eye twitches for a moment before… "LLLUUUUUBBBOOOOOCCCCKKK!" I yelled.
"I think he's in the garden… Something about Big sis Leone and Mama Najenda being there?" He said with confusion. I quickly rushed towards the garden like no tomorrow.
Mamoru blinked, "Did I say something wrong, big sis?" He asked Akame.
She shook her head, "Of course not Mamoru." She then smiled at him, "Come on, let's get some meat."
"Meat!"
With me, I finally made it to the garden before I spotted the green-haired assassin. "LUBBOCK!" I shouted as I ran towards him.
He turned his head and saw my anger, causing him to panic as he was about to run but I quickly tackled him to the ground, holding him down as I held his arm. "Lubbock, what the hell are you thinking!?"
"Enrique, what's going on?" Najenda asked.
"T-There's nothing to worry, Najenda!" Lubbock gulped.
"Oh?" I glared as sweat beaded down his face. "Then tell me… why did you explain to Mamoru about stuff he isn't supposed to know yet!?"
"What kind exactly…?" Our boss raised an eyebrow.
"N-Nothing, really!"
"He told Mamoru how to please a woman," I answered.
And just like that, Najenda glared at the assassin. Her cigarette now on the ground before looking at me.
"Enrique…. Mind handing me, Lubbock?" Najenda asked, cracking her knuckles.
The look on Lubbock's face showed he was screwed. As Leone walked out, now in her Lionelle form as well, "I've been wanting to add his rear to my wall…" Leone grinned.
Lubbock looked at me, his face pleading for help. "Sorry Lubbock but there is a saying back home, 'Hell hath no fury, like a woman's scorn'." I tossed him to Najenda who grabbed him by the collar of his coat. "He's all yours boss."
"Thanks, Enrique… Now, please leave us for now… We need to talk with him, alone…" Najenda ordered.
"Yes ma'am," I nodded before I turned around and walked away.
"Enrique, come on! You can't leave me like this!" Lubbock panicked.
"Hold him down… I plan on giving him a good scar, where he'll never forget…" Leone smirked, her claws shining from the sun.
"Have mercy, Leone!"
I heard the girlish scream from across HQ, making me chuckle in amusement as I carried a plate for Sheele. As I turned the corner, I saw Tatsumi being sent flying as I noticed his nose. "What happened?" I blinked.
"DIE IN A HOLE, PERVERT!" Mine's voice shouted out.
"What did you do this time, Tatsumi?" I sighed.
"I didn't do anything! I tried to knock on the door to talk to her," He explained. "I thought she wasn't in her room so I opened the door and realized she was there but…"
"But?"
"She… really likes pink…." He said with a blush.
"Ohhh… I see now," I teased the teen. "You did deserve it."
"How did I deserve it when it was an accident?!" He snapped.
"You saw her in her undergarments, that's why" I chuckled. He blushed upon the memory. "Just double check before you even enter the room." I walked to my room and knocked on the door before opening it, noticing that Sheele wasn't in the room. "Huh… guess she must have gone to the study." I set her plate on the nightstand before I grabbed some of my other clothes for today.
I then walked towards that outdoor bath they had since it was one of the only places to take a bath. It was uneasy for me at first since it was out in the open but I got used to it so it didn't bother me. As I approached the area, I swore I heard the sound of water being splashed? I blinked, patting my head and to make sure I didn't head.
"Guess I must have been hearing things…" I shrugged.
But upon entering the area, my face turned even more red than fire as I saw Sheele in the water, fully nude. Thought she did quickly notice, "Oh, hello Enrique." She said nonchalantly. I began stammering, my words being nothing but gibberish. "I'm sorry!" I quickly turned around. "I didn't know you were here, Sheele!"
She giggled, "It's okay. But please, join me." She patted the water.
"Eh? You want me-" I gulped. "To join you in the bath…?"
"We are in a relationship," she pointed out with a giggle.
She… did have a point…
Why am I feeling so flustered for pete's sake!? I saw her naked last time when we slept together. The memory of that night came back, causing me to slap myself to prevent further thoughts of that night from coming back.
"I'll wash your back for you!" She giggled cutely.
I took deep breaths as I calmed myself down before removing my clothes and entered the water, avoiding eye contact with Sheele.
"Mmmm…. That's the young man I know of…" She said seductively with a giggle.
I chuckled inwardly, keeping my eyes closed as I heard the water being splashed ever so slightly until I felt some pressure being applied to my back. "It's just that… I never expected to bathe with a girl, Sheele." I admitted.
"Well, now you do." She smiled sweetly. "Plus, I had nice time during our…'intimate' moment…" she blushed.
"I-I see…" I opened my left eye before I quickly closed them upon seeing Sheele.
"Enrique… you don't ever need to be nervous around me… We're together now… And plus, this is minor compared to our first time." She smiled softly at me.
I felt her hands on my cheek, causing me to slowly see Sheele, still having no clothing as the water trickles down her beautiful skin. I mentally calmed myself down as I stare at her purple eyes. "You're right about that…" I slowly nodded.
She simply smiled before kissing me gently. Though once she started doing that, she began to push me gently until she was now on top, still continuing the kiss.
"S-Sheele…"
"Yes?"
"Do you wanna… you know…" I asked nervously.
Sheele smiled softly, "Why else would I be doing this?" She said with a seductive whisper.
Without any more reason, Sheele and I had another moment together.
The sun was already setting as I lifted up the collar to my coat, hiding the lower half of my face as Sheele had her arms around my left arm. Only I was acting as her support to walk after what we did earlier.
"What made you want to do this, Enrique?" Sheele asked, turning to me, "You know, we don't have to go this far off from the base for a date…"
"Well, firstly you couldn't walk right after… earlier…" I started.
She blushed, "R-Right… but why out here and this late? We could've just walked around the base's interior…." She pointed out.
"Its nicer this way," I smiled.
"I like nicer…." She smiled dreamily as she hugs my arm.
Seeing her smile made me happy to see her like this. When we made it to the entrance, I saw Mamoru by the entrance. "Hey Mamoru," I called out.
He turned his head, a smile on his face. "Big bro!" He rushed up to me. "Mama Najenda wants us to be in the meeting room! We have another mission!"
"Alright," I nodded.
"Is Big sis Sheele okay? She's walking a little funny." He noticed.
"Hehe, I'm fine Mamoru. Just a sprain." She smiled, ruffling his hair.
"Oh, okay! I hope you feel better!" He smiled before he walked on ahead before we followed to the meeting room.
"Now that you are all gathered, there are separate targets that you all will handle in separate groups," Najenda informed us. "Leone. I want you, Lubbock and Bulat to handle the first target. Akame. You, Mamoru, and Mine will handle the next target. Sheele. You, Tatsumi, and Enrique will handle the third target."
"Alrighty," Leone grinned.
"Okay, Mama Najenda!" Mamoru nodded.
"We'll do our best." Sheele bowed.
"Good and remember, be careful."
We nodded before we all went to the Capital to begin our mission. Once night settled in, Sheele, Tatsumi, and I were on the rooftop as I was in my Omega form. "Hey Tatsumi, how's your nose?" I chuckled, recalling how it was when I saw him sent flying from Mine's kick.
"Shut it.." He huffed.
"I was just asking," I raised my hands in defense.
"Yeah, right," He muttered. "Oh what was that girlish scream earlier at HQ?"
"Oh, Lubbock got what he deserved after he told Mamoru a few things a 14-year-old shouldn't know yet," I replied. "Najenda and Leone did something to him for telling Mamoru that kind of stuff."
"Heh, serves him right for that." He chuckled.
"Be glad, though." Sheele called out, causing me and Tatsumi to turn to her, "If Najenda wanted to, she would have asked me to cut them off." She said, turning to us though with a sweet smile, spite the words she used were kinda cruel.
Tatsumi and I gulped, shuddering upon the ghost feeling. Even in my Amazon form, it still sounded scary. "Noted," Tatsumi said while I nodded in agreement.
Sheele then turned to the ground, "They're here…." She notified us of our targets.
Tatsumi and I followed her line of sight, now seeing the target in question. Below showed a small group of people, each one having on the official attire of the Empire, each one holding a large amount of gold in their bags as they chuckle, laugh or grin from the successful amount they forced people to give them.
"I count three…" Tatsumi whispered as he unsheathed his sword.'
"Any possible Amazons, Enrique?" Sheele asked me.
I shook my head, "They don't have the armbands and they don't smell like one either."
"Could they have found a way to hide their smell? I know the armband can be concealed with long sleeves,"
I recalled how each Amazon has a time limit for their armbands. "They would have become Amazonz immediately if they didn't have the armbands and for the scent, I don't think you can hide Amazon scent," I recalled.
"I was just saying…" Tatsumi huffed.
"We're only cautious, Enrique. But thank you." Sheele smiled.
I needed to steel my heart again for this. Killing Amazonz was one thing, but killing humans was still something I was uncomfortable with. I wonder if this is what dad felt when he went to war, when he knew he had to take another life to protect the lives of his comrades.
Take a life to save a life.
I shook my head to keep things together as I grabbed the right handle of the Amazon Driver before pulling out the dagger form. "Ready…" I told the two.
Sheele and Tatsumi nodded as they draw out their weapons as well, holding off until the right moment for the targets to approach. We remained quiet as we dissolved in the shadows, waiting for the moment to strike.
Just as that group was about to pass, we quickly jumped down behind them. Sheele was the first to strike the one on the left before Tatsumi stabbed the second one through and through. For me, I rushed towards the third target, who was panicking up seeing us before I thrust the dagger into his chest.
"Nice work you two." Sheele complimented.
"Wonder if anyone heard us?" Tatsumi pondered for a moment.
I stared at the body I killed then at my dagger, seeing the blood as well. The Amazon part of me wanted to taste the blood but my real self didn't want to enjoy it… even though I couldn't feel guilt, it still bothers me greatly for what I have done.
"Enrique?" Sheele placed her hand on me, "Are you alright?"
I took a deep breath, "I'll be okay… I just don't enjoy doing this… but it is for the sake of freeing these people from corruption and those Amazons…"
Sheele nodded, taking my hand, "Come on… we best get home…".
I slowly nodded as I reverted back to human form but kept the Amazon Driver wrapped around my waist. I know I am not like the others of the Night Raid but I have to do what is right to help them reach the goal of freeing the innocent people. Cause if I don't then I'll surely become what I'm trying to fight for and against.
I wonder if I keep killing humans, spill their blood, would my Amazon side completely take over?
(ON THE NEXT HUNT)
"People have been disappearing under a bridge?" Leone raised an eyebrow.
"It was still alive this whole time!?" Mine exclaimed.
I grinned under my metal skin, a feeling of thrill as I fought back against the Amazon.
