(The Next Morning; Night Raid's Hidden Base)
"Oi, Tatsumi!" Lubbock called out, as he knocked loudly on Tatsumi's door. "It's almost nine o'clock, man! Get your ass outta bed or I'm kicking this door down!" Receiving no response in return, Lubbock knocked on the door again with a little more force. "Hey Tatsumi, did you forget I'm training you for a few hours?! Then you're back to Akame again after that!"
Again, nobody answered.
Still not hearing anything from Tatsumi, Lubbock let out an annoyed huff. "Fine! I'm coming in then! Like I care what complain you're gonna make after I throw you off the bed!" he grabbed the doorknob pushed the door open with force. "I got you now!"
After taking less than three steps inside the room, Lubbock immediately realized why Tatsumi wasn't responding to him.
Tatsumi's head was buried right between Leone's breasts… and he was basically lying on top of her. Both were still clothed, by the way and there was nothing else in the room but the smell of fresh air.
Lubbock stood frozen in place in shock from what he just saw in front of him. It took a few seconds to react differently from that as he hung his head in defeat, his hair covering his eyes. "W-What just happened here last night?" he thought to himself. "Don't tell me… Leone and Tatsumi, they… HOLY SHIT! Don't tell me they had —"
"Lubbock…" an angry voice hissed, causing the green-haired man to pale, snapping him out of his thoughts. Slowly turning his head, Lubbock yelped in fear when he saw that Leone was awake, and her eyes were brimming with rage and anger, letting him know that she wasn't happy about his sudden intrusion. Leone's voice was deadly serious and it didn't give way for an argument. "If I find out that you told someone about this, I will crush your balls with my bare hands. Do you understand?"
Lubbock rapidly nodded his head in fear as he tried to stop himself from pacing back and forth. "There's a good boy. Now would you shut the hell up? I'll wake Tatsumi up in a few minutes for you, I just want to cuddle with him a little longer."
"A-Alright then…" Lubbock stuttered out, as he turned around to leave the room. "I'll w-wait for him at the training field!" As Lubbock rushed out of the room, Leone hugged hugged her beloved closer to her body before she purred lovingly.
Lubbock released a heavy sigh, closing the door behind him as he quickly headed for the training field. He placed a hand on his chest, over his racing heart. "I legit thought I was going to die right there… and Leone isn't kidding… she definitely meant what she said… I have to keep my mouth shut… even with Najenda-san…"
"What's up with you Lubbock? It looks like you just met Death himself, or something." The sudden voice caused the green-haired man to nearly jump out of his skin because he was still recovering from his encounter with Leone earlier. He looked up to see Mine staring blankly at him. She had her hands on her hips, and was raising an eyebrow. "Why are you standing outside Tatsumi's room, by the way?"
"I-It's nothing!" Lubbock replied, frantically waving his arms. "I just came to tell Tatsumi to wake up because we have some training to do, but he wasn't answering so I'm just going to wait for him at the training grounds!"
"Oh… if you want, I'll wake him up for you then." Mine said as she walked towards the door.
"No, no, no! There's no need for that!" Lubbock exclaimed, waving his hands frantically in front of him. "He did wake up eventually, and he said that he'd met me at the training grounds! So there's no need for you to walk inside his room!"
"You're acting really weird, Lubbock." Mine said in as she crossed her arms over her chest and narrowed her eyes in suspicion. "You're not trying to hide something from me, are you?"
"N-NO! No, of course not!" Lubbock shouted immediately, before he cleared his throat to recompose himself. "Why would I hide something from you Mine?" he said with a grin that had no sign of nervousness underneath it.
"Hmm…" she hummed, trying to see if Lubbock was really hiding something or not. "He's definitely nervous a while earlier… why though? Did he walk in on Tatsumi while he was changing or something? Oh… Oh my God…" Mine's entire face burned red in embarrassment as she imagined Tatsumi's naked body.
"O-Oi, Mine…" Lubbock called out, noticing that the pinkette's face was becoming redder by the second. "Are you okay? Because you're looking really red. Do you have a fever or something? Are you feeling alright?"
"Huh?" she muttered before realizing that she had been caught daydreaming. "N-No! I'm totally fine! Just shut up!" With an annoyed huff, Mine stormed off down the hallway in a frantic way. "Lubbock is definitely hiding something from me, I need to get to the bottom of this!"
"The hell was that all about?" Lubbock said, watching Mine slam the door behind her as she entered her room, still red-faced in embarrassment. "Well anyways, that was too close…" he released a heavy sigh and began to head towards the training grounds.
As Lubbock walked through the halls, he turned his head to look out a window and he saw Akame attacking a group of practice dummies. The raven-haired assassin bore the same poker face that she always has, yet the way she was training was a different story. She was attacking a bit harsher and more dangerously than her usual fighting style, as if she was letting out stress. But that was strange, because Akame wasn't one to be stressed out by almost anything.
"Something doesn't make sense here… from what I remember, Akame and Tatsumi were getting really close. I mean, she's been with him ever since he joined us and they've been practically inseparable for the past weeks… so why was he with Leone earlier? I thought he'd be with Akame…" A perverted grin suddenly spread across Lubbock's face and he began to rub his hands together in a mischievous manner. "I have a feeling that something very sexy is going on between those three. Sorry Najenda-san, but I'm gonna have to play detective for a while… hehehe…"
(Fifteen Minutes Later; Night Raid's Training Grounds)
"You sure took your sweet time, lover boy!" Lubbock called out when he saw Tatsumi heading towards him. "How are you feeling after your good night's sleep between some comfortable pillows?"
"Hey, don't call me that when the others are here!" Tatsumi whispered, a small blush dusting across his features out of embarrassment. "And I thought Leone warned you about telling the others?"
"Yeah she did, but she never said I couldn't tease you. Besides, it's only the two of us here." Lubbock replied with wide smirk and Tatsumi only rolled his eyes in response. "So…" The green-haired boy started nudging Tatsumi with his elbow playfully. "How was Leone, dude? Was she an animal in the sheets? Or did you show her who was the alpha? How were her tits? Were they good like I always thought? Come on man, give me some details!"
"I'm not telling you anything, so mind your own business." Tatsumi said, taking a step back as he planted his hands inside of his pockets. "This is between me and Leone, so don't butt in."
"Between you and Leone, eh?" Lubbock muttered as he rubbed his chin. "So you really love her, and this wasn't just a one time thing?"
"Obviously," Tatsumi replied. "I'd never sleep with Leone and then just abandon her the next day like any other drunken bastard out there. I care for her too much to even do that. Point is, I love her too."
"Good… that's just what I wanted to hear." Lubbock said, a small smile spreading across his face. "Because if I found out that you were actually planning on abandoning Leone…" Lubbock flexed his index finger, and Tatsumi's whole body was suddenly wrapped in Cross Tail's wires, rendering him unable to move as he fell to the ground. "I would have had to kill you…" Tatsumi sent him a glare as soon as he was released from the wires, standing up from the ground. "Lesson one, Tatsumi. You must find a way to lure your enemies into your traps. Now look down."
Without saying anything more, he glanced down at his feet. Tatsumi's eyes widened slightly when he saw that he was currently standing on top of one of Lubbock's wires. "When did this —" he stopped himself when a sudden realization took over him. "Wait a minute, when you nudged me… you knew I'd step back on to your wire?"
"Yep!" Lubbock replied with a grin. "Deception is one of an assassin's most important tools, especially when it comes to setting traps. If you can deceive your enemies well, they'll easily fall into any traps you set."
"Looks like I have a lot to learn then. I'm not much of a tactical guy, hehehe…" Tatsumi said, shrugging. "Well, let's get to work then. I still have to train with Akame after this… her Strong Style is improving more and more and I can't miss it."
"Alright, let's do it." Lubbock said, gesturing to a table that was set up just behind them. "I have a bunch of different traps set up over here, we can use them."
Over the next few hours, Lubbock taught Tatsumi as much as he could about traps. He showed the brunette how to effectively hide traps, how tripwires and triggers work, dig a pitfall trap and add spikes to it, create homemade traps and explosives, defuse and disarm traps, and predict enemy movements to know where to hide them.
"So basically, everything is up to your imagination." Lubbock finished as he closed his eyes, beginning to put his equipment away since they were already done. "The traps that you set can be simple or complex as you want it to be, but it all comes down to what you have available and how much time you have to prepare everything."
"Damn, some of these are so complicated to understand." Tatsumi said, examining a demo mine that Lubbock used to show how to properly defuse one. "There's so many little parts that are essential to the whole thing."
"Hmph, like I said, a trap can be simple or complex as you want it to be. I'd recommend you doing simple ones for now, though." Lubbock said as he finished packing away his equipment. "So…" Lubbock glanced over his shoulder and sent a smirk towards Tatsumi. "You and Leone, huh?"
"You're not gonna stop, aren't you?" Tatsumi complained, handing the demo mine back to Lubbock as the green-haired man only shrugged in response, which finally got Tatsumi to sigh in defeat. "Yes, we're together. Lovers, boyfriend/girlfriend, sweethearts, what more do you want? What's the big deal, anyway?"
"I just wanted to confirm something I've been wondering about." Lubbock explained as he placed the mine back into his pack. "I just thought you and Akame were getting pretty close than anyone could even notice it… I thought you two would end up together, so it surprised me that you were with Leone."
Tatsumi immediately paled.
The green-haired man smirked as he watched Tatsumi's shoulders tense and his face be drained of all color. "So, there's more to it eh? I gotcha right where I want ya!"
"W-Well… y-y-you see… Akame a-and I are… are…" Tatsumi stuttered, quickly trying to think of a possible excuse. Being inexperienced in the aspect of romance and relationships, he didn't know how to handle this particular problem, let alone having two women who loved him equally.
"Yes?" Lubbock grinned as he took a step closer to Tatsumi so he could get a better hearing of what his answer was. This was definitely hot news and he had to find out more about it. "You and Akame are what, lover boy?"
"Lubbock…" Tatsumi sighed, taking a glance around the training grounds to make sure that no one was there except for the two of them. After making sure that they were indeed alone, Tatsumi grabbed Lubbock by his jacket and pulled him closer to him. As soon as he spoke, it was clear that he was serious and he wasn't playing the nice guy. "This secret stays between us, and if I found out that you just gossipped about this throughout the whole base, I'll make sure that your face gets roughened up badly." he hissed.
"Holy shit, I don't want to mess with this guy! If I was his enemy, I'd be peeing my pants!" Lubbock thought, as he nodded rapidly out of fear.
"I'm in love with both Akame and Leone." Tatsumi explained as he let go of him, causing the latter to raise an eyebrow in confusion. "And… I'm dating both of them." As soon as he noticed the seriousness in his comrade's voice, Lubbock's eyes shot open. "Well, it's not exactly like that for now. I still have to fix things up with Akame before it becomes official because… she's acting weird around me for the past days."
"W-What are you going on about here?" Lubbock asked, ignoring Tatsumi's last statement. "Is this for real? Did you just tell me that you're dating two incredibly hot bombshells?"
"So far? Pretty much." Tatsumi replied, causing Lubbock to jaw-drop. "I'm in love with the both of them, and I want them to be happy. As long as they're okay with sharing me, that is. I'm gonna have a problem if Akame doesn't agree with what Leone wants to happen."
This time, it caught Lubbock's attention. "What do you mean Akame won't agree?" he asked.
Tatsumi then went on to explain the whole talk that happened between Leone and Akame regarding the brunette that they both held feelings for, and how it led to the suspicion that the raven-haired assassin is jealous over what happened with her friend and Tatsumi. Of course, Tatsumi didn't mention anything about his private time with the busty blonde, but he did tell Lubbock about how he didn't want Leone and Akame to fight over him and risk their friendship.
"Damn…" Lubbock muttered, rubbing his chin. "I never knew that there was a jealous side of Akame that acts like that… look man, I'm not typically the one to give advice on situations like this, but I think you should go talk to her. Waiting for her to act and go to you will only make matters worse and it'll slowly destroy your relationship with her. I don't know much about Akame because she mostly keeps her problems to herself, but her mindset in both fighting and everyday life is always 'go for the kill and don't hesitate'. Take it as a way to finally get an answer from her, you know?"
"Woah, I… I never thought of it that way. I guess… that makes sense…" Tatsumi said as a smile slowly started to spread across his face. "All right, I'll talk to her as soon as I can… this whole waiting around thing is killing me by the second… thanks, Lubbock!" he grinned, patting his friend on the shoulder.
"Yeah, good for you…" Lubbock rolled his eyes and tried his best not to get jealous of Tatsumi's luck. "Just go and continue on to your training with your girlfriend… she could be getting impatient by the moment, you know? Make sure to take my advice, or you'll get your ass whooped."
"Okay? I guess… I'll catch you later then!" Tatsumi exclaimed as he ran off in search of a certain red-eyed assassin. "What's his problem?" he finished in his thoughts as he sent Lubbock one last glance.
(30 Minutes Later)
"Time to fly!" Tatsumi exclaimed as he charged towards Akame. Both assassins clashed against each other with their practice swords, and they began to try pushing the other back. At first, it looked like Akame had the advantage, but her eyes widened when Tatsumi suddenly began to slowly overpower her. She tried to use her leg to kick an opening that she noticed at his side, before he denied it by kneeing her attack away, also causing her defense to crumble.
With one last strong push, Tatsumi sent Akame skidding backwards. Tatsumi didn't give Akame time to recover at all, as he rushed in to go for the finishing blow. However, Akame won't allow herself to be defeated so easily, even if her opponent was her beloved.
The red-eyed girl dug her feet into the ground to stop herself and rushed towards Tatsumi to meet his attack. However, the brunette was waiting for her to react this way, finally coming up with a way to counter Akame's almost unbeatable expertise in swordsmanship. Tatsumi met Akame's strike with his own, clashing with her sword before he spinned to the right and slid his weapon off hers, causing him to be positioned behind her. Almost immediately, he struck both of her legs and Akame fell down on the ground on her stomach, defeated.
She rolled over on her back only to find Tatsumi pointing his weapon towards her neck before she looked up to stare into his green eyes. "Impressive… you managed to catch me off guard." Akame said with a small smile on her face before Tatsumi pulled her back up to her feet. "Well done, Tatsumi… that was the first time that you have won against me in training. You really have been improving, and at a fast rate too." she smiled at him.
"Thanks…" he replied, planting his hands on his hips and panted slightly. "It's really hard to win against you, you know? But let this not be the last time you train me, okay Akame? I still want to learn more from you, and please fight a bit more seriously next time against me."
"You could get hurt, Tatsumi."
"Who do you think I am, some newbie just like what Mine has been saying?" he answered, feeling offended. "You forget that I'm a skilled fighter from my village, so if you don't make it harder for me, nothing will really improve with me. Don't worry, you could never hurt me Akame. I know."
"I see your point…" Akame said, nodding in response. "All right, during our next training session, I shall fight you more aggressively to keep your swordsmanship healthy and fresh."
"Thanks… but you know, I can't say the same for your Strong Style though. You may have been improving, but it'll probably take months for you to get at my level and fight me evenly."
"I know. I'll just have to focus a bit more on my training under you. I use a weapon almost all the time during battle that I don't think I need to." Akame said as she turned her gaze to the side, and now things have gotten quiet between them. Tatsumi wondered why she wasn't saying anything more, but then he realized that this is exactly what Lubbock was talking about earlier.
"She still must be feeling jealous… I need to resolve this before she gets emotionally hurt or whatever…" Tatsumi thought to himself, wiping the sweat from his forehead. "Akame, there's… there's something important I have to tell you." he said, gaining her attention as she turned her head to look at him. "I don't want you to feel —!"
Unfortunately, Tatsumi had to duck underneath a punch from his side that came out of nowhere. He then looked up to see Bulat grinning at him. "What the hell, Aniki?!"
"Nice reflexes, Tatsumi." Bulat grinned as he crossed his arms over his broad chest. "You said you wanted this to be harder, so I thought I'd throw in some obstacles to make sure you were paying attention to your surroundings as well. I'm glad to see that you were paying attention, because an enemy can come for you anywhere and anytime." Bulat quirked an eyebrow as he watched Tatsumi dust himself off. "You seem way into training more than usual… did something happen?"
"No, nothing happened." Tatsumi replied, cracking his knuckles. "I just wanted to stay in top shape and make sure that I'm not slacking. And then, probably try to be stronger than what I am right now…"
"Woah, now that's good!" Bulat exclaimed, slapping Tatsumi on the back hard enough to make him stumble a few steps forward. "You know, if you want to be stronger, you should come with me then!" Bulat turned Tatsumi around so that he could look him in the eyes. The large man grinned and pointed to himself with his thumb. "I'll train you the right way, Tatsumi!"
"Aniki, you know that I'm still training with Akame right?" Tatsumi said with an embarrassed grin; it wasn't like that he didn't want to train with Bulat, but he really did want to settle things with Akame and this might be the only good time where that could happen.
"Go on..." Akame sighed, a small smile appearing on her face as she looked at Tatsumi. "I'm beaten anyways, so you can take over, Bulat. Tatsumi, whatever you wanted to tell me, let's talk about it later on." she told the brunette, who only nodded dumbly, as if he was under a spell.
"Alright! Our first lesson begins now!" Bulat exclaimed, punching the air as he grabbed a spear. "Now come on, Tatsumi!"
"R-Right behind you…" Tatsumi said, walking after Bulat while Akame was staring at his back.
"Stay safe, Tatsumi…" Akame whispered, heading back towards the hideout to settle unfinished business with Leone. She had to talk with her friend about certain things regarding a brunette whom they both had feelings for.
(4 Hours Later; North of Night Raid's Hidden Base)
"Damn…" Tatsumi muttered to himself, looking over at the vast mountain range that was before him. "This sets a new record for my longest road trip away from base… and not to mention, it's getting foggy out here… sooner or later, I'm gonna lose my sight."
"This whole area is a fake mountain." Bulat explained, as he turned to look at his comrade by his side. "This place is one of the most dangerous areas in the capital region, and it's crawling with danger beasts at almost every corner."
"You think?" Tatsumi sarcastically answered before a weird noise struck his ears. Following his instincts, Tatsumi immediately moved to the side. A moment later, a massive tree branch swung towards the spot where he was just standing moments earlier. Tatsumi's eyes slightly widened when he saw a swarm of tree-like danger beasts making their way towards him and Bulat. Tatsumi quickly reacted by pulling out his pistol, shooting the danger beast directly in its large red eye. The monster howled in pain before it rolled over the ground of the narrow pathway that they were on, falling down the mountain to its death.
"Aw, for real?! How many of these things are there? They're not what we came here for, right?" asked Tatsumi as he quickly reloaded his firearm.
"Ha, I never should have doubted your reaction time and reflexes, Tatsumi! I thought that you only specialize in fighting." Bulat grinned as he readied his spear. "These things are tree beasts, and they usually come out and attack in packs like this one. Never let your guard down, otherwise they'll eat you alive, got it?" Bulat grinned as he pierced cleanly through another tree beast. "This mountain is filled with danger beasts that specialize in mirroring their targets. You'll be able to develop your sense of battle even further here."
"Heh… looks like I'll have to stop wasting my bullets then." Tatsumi said, seeing dozens of other danger beasts entering the area where they were. Some were shaped like rocks, while others looked like various plants. Tatsumi unsheathed Starfall and took out the group of monsters nearest to him with one slice as he flew past them. Tatsumi turned to face Bulat afterwards, smirking. "We better get to work before they get out of hand then, right?"
"Yeah, their numbers are starting to annoy me." Bulat, killing two danger beasts with a single thrust of his spear. "Let's share any edible meat we find with the nearby village a few kilometers away from here. This hunt will help them out a lot, so do your best Tatsumi!"
"Already on it!" Tatsumi smirked, tightly gripping the handle of his sword as he rushed forward to attack. "Time to fly!"
(That Night; Night Raid's Hidden Base)
"Good, you're all here then." Najenda said, taking her usual seat in Night Raid's meeting room. "I have some bad news for you all, so brace yourselves." she leaned forward and raised her index finger. "One, we've lost contact with our regional team."
"Regional team?" Seryu repeated with a confused look on her face, holding Koro in her arms.
"The empire is quite vast." Akame explained, turning to look towards the orange-haired girl. "Our group focuses its efforts on the capital, but there are actually other assassin teams that work throughout the whole region."
"We're investigating it now, but it's most likely that they were all wiped out without a trace left." Najenda said, causing a solemn look to form on everyone's face. "Prepare yourselves for that possibility, because these massacres are happening faster than we can handle."
"We should strengthen our base's defenses, if that's the case. We never know when we might be next." Lubbock suggested, earning a quick nod from the silver-haired woman. "Okay, I'll expand the area of my threads later on." Lubbock then turned towards Tatsumi with a wide grin. "You can help me too, put those skills I taught you to use."
"Sure, you're on." Tatsumi shrugged as he pushed his hands into his pockets. "Let's put everything I learned to the test then."
"Now that our enhanced defenses are dealt with, let's continue with our previous discussion." Najenda continued, her eyes hardening as she raised her middle finger. "Esdeath has finished demolishing the resistance in the North… she is returning to the capital." she announced, causing a wave of silence to wash over the room.
"Esdeath…" Tatsumi thought, as he rubbed his chin. "Why does that name ring a bell? Did I meet her somewhere before? Damn it, that name! I've heard it before! Who is she again?" A sudden memory then struck his mind which caused his eyes to jolt wide open. "Wait a minute… oh no… what the heck does this mean? It's been so many years…"
"The general is back? I didn't expect for it to be too soon!" Seryu exclaimed, her face showing clear shock that caught Tatsumi's attention. "I thought it would be at least a month before she comes back from the raid…"
"That was much quicker than we anticipated." Akame said, releasing a light sigh as she closed her eyes. "That woman sure is troublesome."
"What do you mean?" Tatsumi asked, hoping to get more information about this 'Esdeath' person.
"Yeah, she's always been a thorn in our side ever since." Lubbock said, as he scratched the side of his head in irritation. "Every move we make, she somehow finds a way to stop it and hinder us. She ain't called the 'Empire's Strongest' for nothing…"
"Unfortunately, it appears that most of Esdeath's men have volunteered to stay up North to keep order." the Boss said, resting her head on her fist.
"Then that means she won't be making her move to crush the rebel army any time soon." Bulat said shrugging his shoulders.
"I have no clue what she's planning to do next, but I have a bad feeling that we're somehow involved." Najenda said, pulling out a cigarette before placing it in her mouth. "Normally, she spends her time in torture chambers instructing the guards stationed there on her methods, but I think there's more to that." Pulling out her lighter, the Boss turned towards Leone. "You have a special job, Leone. Go to the capital and find out what Esdeath is planning the moment she returns."
"Got it!" Leone cheered, punching the air with her fist. "I've always been curious to see what kind of person she is! This is the perfect opportunity for me!"
"She's an extremely dangerous enemy, who is also guilty of mass murder on an epic scale, Leone." Najenda warned, sending the blonde girl an authoritative look. "So, please be careful. For your own sake."
"I got it, I got it." Leone replied as she shook her head. "Hmph, then that means… she's someone I can take out if I have the chance. The cruel, sadistic general that people call the 'Empire's strongest.' She deserves to die a brutal death just like the —!" Leone was cut off from her thoughts when she felt someone pat her on the shoulder. She turned her head to see Tatsumi smiling at her.
"Don't be too reckless, Leone…" Tatsumi said, squeezing her shoulder gently. "I don't know much about this Esdeath woman, but even I can tell that she's not someone to be messed with. If you sense any danger, don't hesitate to retreat. Otherwise, I'll be forced to fly over to the capital and save your poor neck."
Nearly everyone in the room laughed apart from Najenda, who only allowed a small smile on her face to appear. "Tch, I'm a capable assassin so I don't need any protection from you… so don't think about flying all the way for no reason… but thanks for worrying about me." Leone said as she grinned widely.
"Don't worry Tatsumi, I'll be cautious and I'll retreat as soon as I sense anything wrong. I'm not gonna die anytime soon, so expect me to be here laughing the moment my mission is over."
"I'll trust you on that one." Tatsumi said, smirking at his blonde lover.
"Okay, now that's over with, let's move on to the last part of this discussion." the Boss continued, raising her ring finger. "Like I said earlier, there has been a string of murders targeting civil servants all around the capital and so far, three civil servants have been killed." Najenda reached into her shirt and pulled out a piece of paper with Night Raid's insignia on it. "The main problem with them is that these fliers with 'Night Raid' written on them have been scattered all around the crime scenes."
"They're obviously imposters, and it's quite a smart tactic." Bulat said, crossing his arms over his chest as he smirked. "They must be trying to make it look like we're to blame for those murders."
"But, people aren't stupid enough to fall for this, are they?" Seryu asked, as she glanced at the paper in Najenda's hand before she realized the slight flaw in her words. "I mean, I admit that I was like that back then, but I saw through the lies that night when I met Tatsumi."
Sayo nodded. "I agree. Only a fool would fall for those lies… have they even noticed who are the people that we target primarily? It's not like us to target people without reason."
"It was like that at first." Najenda replied with a heavy sigh. "But now, more and more people are starting to believe the rumors. With each incident, all of the strongest guards were all killed. The latest victim was one of the former royal advisors, and in the process, about 50 guards have been killed trying to protect him. People believe that we're the only ones who could possibly do this much damage and get away with it."
"So our opponents equal us in strength and skill… which means that they must also possess teigus." Akame concluded as she rubbed her chin, lost in thought. "Could one of them possibly be Kurome?" she thought to herself before she felt somebody squeeze her arm. She then looked up to see Tatsumi, who sent her a wink before smiling. The girl blushed a bit before she turned her head to the opposite side, feeling a large wave of relief wash over her while also being slightly embarrassed.
"All of these victims were innocent men and women who simply didn't like the way the minister was running the whole empire. In turn, it made them all targets that the minister would dispose off." she explained, breathing out a whiff of smoke. "In other words, the minister had them all killed behind all the people's backs."
"So they're trying to lure us in a trap just to fight them… which would divide the members and make them easier to kill… not a bad strategy." Bulat stated.
"None of those victims had any affiliation or connections with the rebel army. They were all men and women who were simply concerned for their country." Najenda said, tightly balling her fists. "All of them were the sort of civil servants that we could count on in our new nation. They are good people, and we can't afford to lose any of them anymore. But before we make any action against this, let me hear your thoughts on this matter. Tatsumi!"
"Uh… um, well… I… I don't know anything about politics but…" Tatsumi said in a nervous tone before it immediately took a serious note as he clenched his fist, a look of burning determination in his eyes. "Just the fact that they're using Night Raid's name for their actions… I'm going to enjoy killing the ones behind this!"
"Hell yeah!" Bulat cheered on with a thumbs-up before grinning. "You said it, Tatsumi!" Following Tatsumi and Bulat's exclamations, the rest of Night Raid joined together in a cheer.
"I think that's enough to tell that all of you have the same answers…" Najenda said, standing up from her seat before stomping on the floor. "We'll show these bastards what happens when you use an assassin's name against their wishes!" Putting her jacket on, the silver-haired woman turned to face the other members. "There are five civil servants who will likely be the next targets. But out of those five, based on who is leaving the palace tomorrow, the choices have been narrowed down to two. The first team will be Akame, Tatsumi, and Seryu."
"You think I'm ready for a mission, Boss? Aren't you still… you know, doubtful of me and my allegiance?" Seryu asked dumbfoundedly as she nervously rubbed her arm, caught off guard with Najenda's sudden announcement.
"Yes, you're ready to be assigned. And there is no point in doubting you as of this point. If Tatsumi is willing to place his trust in you, then we shall do the same." Najenda said, smiling softly at Seryu.
"Aye, sir! I won't let you down!" Seryu exclaimed, as she saluted to Najenda, hugging Koro tightly against her chest.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room grew cold and Leone, Mine, Bulat, Lubbock, and even Akame were shocked at Seryu's sudden words. Tatsumi and Sayo looked at each other with a confused expression before their attention was caught by Najenda herself.
Seryu was simply smiling as if nothing was happening around her, but in reality, Najenda was letting out an incredible amount of killing intent and a murderous aura started appearing around her. The other Night Raid members looked at Seryu as if to say 'You just dug your own grave' while Tatsumi and Sayo watched from the sidelines, sweat-dropping at the scene in front of them.
Luckily though, Najenda managed to suppress her anger and took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. Seryu was still a new member, and she needed time to adjust to certain things around here, especially when it comes to the Boss's image.
The silver-haired woman sighed. "Alright now, the second team will be Bulat, Sayo, and Sheele. Both teams will guard their respective target. Make sure to keep out of sight in order to avoid being seen, but if the situation calls for it, you're free to reveal yourselves and do whatever it takes to protect the two targets." Najenda said, taking one last puff of her cigarette before dropping it on the floor with a stomp.
"Where's our civil servant located, Boss?" Sayo asked, raising an eyebrow.
Najenda crossed her arms and breathed deeply. "A giant luxury passenger ship docked at the Grand Canal. The Dragon Ship."
(Night Raid's Hidden Base; Tatsumi's Room)
Tatsumi was sitting at a chair next to his bed, trying his best to remember everything he knew about the name 'Esdeath'. As far as he could tell, he encountered the woman in his past, but he couldn't remember when and how did they exactly meet. However, that didn't mean that he would give up on it.
"Esdeath… she's a general now, huh? If my instincts are right, it's only been 8 years… how did she manage to achieve that rank in so little time? She must be the youngest general out there… but for some reason, I'm not as surprised as to what I thought…" he thought to himself. "Is it because… I don't remember her at all? Damn, this is pointless… forcing myself to think about it more won't be good… I guess I'll just stick to what I know for now. I first met her when I —" he was then cut off from his thoughts when the door to his bedroom suddenly opened.
Alarmed, Tatsumi reached for his knife that was resting on the nearby drawer and prepared to jump off the chair to defend himself from whoever barged into his room, until he saw that it was only Akame who walked inside.
"Good to see you that your senses are still as sharp as ever, Tatsumi." the girl said, smiling at the brunette. Akame was wearing a black bathrobe, and the bow that was holding it together was loosely tied, but Tatsumi was oblivious to this of course.
"A-Akame, what are you —" he tried to speak, but the red-eyed girl raised a finger to keep his mouth shut, and he figured that it would be a good move to just listen to her, since she was probably still angry about him and Leone doing… couple's activities.
"You still needed to tell me something Tatsumi, remember?" she reminded him, taking a seat on a chair which was opposite to the one where he was sitting on. "Now is a good time to say it, Tatsumi. We have a big mission tomorrow, if you want me to remind you."
"How do I do this? How do I explain things?!" he ranted to himself, suddenly having a mental block in the midst of thinking, making him sport a nervous look. "Come on! Just tell her what Leone told you man! Damn it, what do I say? Akame, Leone wants to join our relationship? Akame, I want to be with the two of you?" He tried to force himself to speak, but it fell short when he looked at her beautiful face. "Argh, why can't I make a move?! This is not like you, Tatsumi!"
"Tatsumi, what's wrong?" Akame asked, noticing that her boyfriend was acting a bit strange, shaking his head over and over as if he was trying to get rid of something in his mind. "Is something bothering you?"
The young man looked at her and it seemed like he was finally going to speak, but again no words came out of his mouth and looked to the side instead, back to thinking on how he could explain things properly to Akame. "Is she willing to even give it a chance? Can she even hear me out?"
"Tatsumi, if you feel nervous about telling me, don't be. Just do what I do whenever I'm faced with a dilemma like this. I go straight to the point and strike directly at the heart, kind of like when I'm fighting." she told him, causing him to look at her in surprise.
"Yeah, that's right… I'll just act like Akame and go for it!" he thought triumphantly for a few moments before his doubts took over again. "Wait, what can I say to convince her to be in an open relationship? There's a high chance that she'll reject me and wants me to herself… No! No, I can't think like that! I have to kill the doubt and strike into the heart of the matter!" He looked at Akame again, and clenched his fists at his side. "If I can't do it with words, I'll do it head-on… just like how Akame does it." he finished with determination lingering in his mind.
"I'm sorry Akame, but I can't take it anymore." Tatsumi said, his bangs shadowing his eyes as he prepared for the worst to happen later on.
Akame raised an eyebrow slightly but spoke back in response. "Tatsumi, what are you — MMPHFF!" she got cut off from her words when Tatsumi suddenly stood up from his seat and rushed towards her, capturing her lips as he leaned down to reach her pure face. Akame was slightly shocked for a few seconds before she closed her eyes and kissed back, slowly turning their contact into a passionate exchange of love and passion as the girl grabbed onto his cheeks and pulled him closer towards her face that their heads were touching, further deepening their lip-play.
Tatsumi was slightly surprised that Akame pulled him closer towards her, but he had no time to think about that. If he was going to prove that he still wanted to be with her, he'd have to show it through his actions. His arm slowly made its way around her and rested on her back; the two were perfectly fine with their initial position until Akame surprisingly shoved her tongue into his mouth, furiously sucking him off like the predator that she was.
Although he was really confused with how aggressive Akame was acting right now, he didn't have time to pay attention to that. If Akame liked what was happening, he was prepared to give it all to her. Following her actions, he pushed his tongue inside of her mouth as well which further intensified their lip contact. When Tatsumi felt his back starting to ache because of how much he was bent forward, his other hand went down to her hip and gripped it firmly.
With one strong pull, Tatsumi lifted up Akame from her chair and carried her by her legs. The girl yelped in surprise for a moment before she wrapped both her arms around his neck and hung on for the ride of her life. She also used this to her advantage by pulling him even closer towards her, and her tongue could even feel the back of his throat as they made out passionately.
Slowly, Akame was dominating over their kiss and Tatsumi felt like he could fall over at any second as he was walking backwards, trying to support his lover's weight. Luckily though, the back of his knees reached the chair where he was sitting on earlier; Tatsumi slumped down and took this time to fight back with his tongue, making Akame moan into his mouth.
A few more minutes passed, and Akame finally separated herself from Tatsumi, leaving both assassins panting slightly and a small trail of saliva connecting both their mouths. This kiss was way different than the ones that they shared before this; while swarming with passion and love, the desire and longing could also be sensed in their actions, as if they have been separated for so long. They looked into each other's eyes while Akame held his cheek in her hand, and this was the time when Tatsumi decided to finally come full circle with the truth.
He took a deep breath. "Akame, I want you to know that I —" he was silenced when the girl pressed her finger against his mouth, silencing him.
"I know what you are going to tell me," she revealed, causing his eyes to widen slightly. "I have already discussed this matter with Leone earlier… and I am fine with it."
He couldn't hide his shock. "W-What? F-For real?" he asked again to confirm it, and she nodded in response. "You're not… you're not angry with me that I slept with Leone before you? And I did it without your knowledge?" he had a feeling that he shouldn't be asking these kinds of questions, but he had to make sure of things.
"Yes, I was indeed angry and upset with what you did, Tatsumi." she explained in a serious tone that sent shivers down his spine. "But none of it matters now anymore. I will let Leone be with you and possibly other girls to join our relationship, but…" she trailed off after her words, blushing all of a sudden.
"But what?"
Akame looked at him with a pleading expression. "Promise me that you'll never leave me, Tatsumi. I can't bear to lose someone I love ever again… when I learned that Leone was in love with you as well, I feared the worst. I was afraid that you'd leave me, so I thought I'd see for myself if that was true… but it turned out that you haven't forgotten me at all. I've lost many comrades during my lifetime and I don't want it to happen again."
She suddenly became startled when Tatsumi wrapped his arms around her protectively and hugged her tight. "I'll never leave." he told her, burying his face into the crook of her neck. "And I won't forget you… I'll die before that even happens. You were the first woman I fell in love with… and I love being with you. I know it's been only a month since we first met, but this feels right, in my own words. We're assassins anyway, and we only live once, so I'm gonna make the most of my remaining time in the world something worth living for." He paused for a moment to look at her. "And that something is you. I won't let you lose someone important to your life ever again, not even me. We'll go through this war together, and come out on top together."
"Tatsumi…" she breathed out in happiness before the young man closed the distance between them again, giving her a quick peck on the lips before he brushed her hair back and stared at her for a few seconds before Akame spoke once again. "I want to do the same thing Leone did with you, Tatsumi. Let me show you how much you mean to me." she said in a blank tone, causing him to send her a questioning look.
"Uh, this isn't about being jealous and proving that you're way better than Leone, right?" he asked with a nervous grin. Tatsumi may be a bit dense, but he was not a complete idiot. The moment he noticed the way how she was taking their kisses seriously obviously meant that she had something on her mind, and it didn't surprise Tatsumi that it would be sex.
Her hands went to the loose knot that kept her bathrobe closed, playing with it as she explained even further. "At first, it was indeed like that. I wanted to show Leone that she is not the only one who can give you pleasure, but it's different now. Tomorrow is another mission for us Tatsumi, which means our lives will be put to the risk once again. It's part of being an assassin, but I don't want to die without being able to experience… this. I don't to say goodbye without even getting a chance to know what it's like to love a person deeply. I realized that when Leone went directly to you instead of discussing her intentions with me first… she told me that she wanted to be with you before you went on your mission yesterday."
"Oh, I… I see… but… are you sure about this, Akame?" he asked, wanting one last sign of confirmation from the girl. He had no problem with giving her what she desired, but he was certainly not going to go through with it if she was not ready. "We don't have to do this right now, and I'm willing to wait for the right moment."
Akame only smiled and removed herself from his lap, standing in front of him; because of the open window, her figure was basked in the moonlight and Tatsumi could see just how beautiful Akame was. The red-eyed woman undid the knot holding her bathrobe and let it slid past her shoulders, falling to the ground.
Tatsumi was awestruck with what was in front of him.
Although she wanted to go through with this for the night, it didn't stop Akame from blushing like an embarrassed teen because of Tatsumi's shocked expression. She was wearing a pair of black lacy underwear which suited her curves and body greatly, and it made it look like the assassin inside her was dead.
Earlier during their little talk, Leone suggested that she could help her in how to seduce Tatsumi and make him properly give in to his deepest desires, which greatly embarrassed Akame but also made her determined to prove her love for the young man.
She fidgeted before looking to the side. "Well? Are you just… g-going to sit there and d-do nothing?" she said, putting on a serious face despite her massive blush. It was seriously not like her to blush and stutter, as that is more like something that Mine will do. Akame looked at Tatsumi and the look on her face says that she wanted him to make a move badly. "I will drag you off that chair if I have to, Tatsumi… this is embarrassing, if you want me to say it."
After staring blankly at the girl for a few more seconds, Tatsumi finally sighed and stood up from his seat. He walked over towards her and held Akame by her shoulders as he stared into her eyes.
[*Super Sexy Lemon Alert!*]
"I am so glad to have met someone as serious as you," he said before he pulled her in for another deep kiss. Without even wasting any time, Akame wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer towards her, attempting to recreate the pleasurable feeling of his whole mouth on hers earlier. In the process, her bra-clad breasts got pressed against his chest, but she didn't feel any skin upon contact.
Like a predator hunting for prey, Akame aggressively lowered her arms down to the hem of his shirt and quickly pulled it upwards, causing them to break off from their kiss for a few moments so that the girl could take the fabric off him, before their lips crashed into each other once again. Akame didn't even took the time to look at his shirtless body or do anything that a normal girl would do at this moment. This time, there were no signs of holding back or hesitation in Akame's mind and soul.
It was all about hunger and desire.
Tatsumi didn't let up either; he kissed the girl back fiercely as his hand travelled to the back of her head which allowed him to gain control of her movement. He cradled her back and forth, letting their tongues dance together in unison as they used every last bit of their breath to make their lip-play something worth remembering for a lifetime. His other hand then went to Akame's soft back and began massaging it slowly, causing the girl to softly moan in his mouth. Taking it as a way of advice of knowing what she has to do next, Akame's hands went towards his back and began clawing his skin, showing how she had surrendered to her desires and let her inner animal loose.
The brunette groaned slightly at the feeling of Akame's fingernails digging into his skin before he quickly thought of something to get back at her. A few moments later, Tatsumi found his hands on Akame's upper back, touching the hook that held her bra together. He began to play with it for a few seconds as if he was asking for permission, before the girl broke off their lengthy kiss for a moment and leaned her forehead against his.
"Do it." she breathed out with a bit of seriousness in her tone.
Tatsumi needed nothing more; with a snap, he unhooked Akame's bra and slowly slid it off her shoulders before he moved away for a bit, staring at Akame's breathtaking appearance as the black undergarment covering her chest fell to the floor, joining her bathrobe.
He then found himself openly staring at her freed globes, taking in every inch of her beauty and nailing them to his soul. The red-eyed assassin was not as big as Leone, but that didn't mean that she had nothing on her side. Her breasts definitely suited her near-perfect figure, and Tatsumi could even justify it. Being the victim of his stare, Akame couldn't help but feel embarrassed yet she didn't do anything to cover herself up or even turn away. She knew just what she was getting into and she wanted this, so there was no point in going back at this point.
Focusing himself back to his task at hand, he went back to the girl and stared at her now-puffy lips. He chuckled slightly at the results of their passionate and hungry kisses before he felt Akame pull him in for another liplock, showing that she was not yet finished with him. Because her bra was now out of the way, Akame almost jumped at the feeling of her breasts touching Tatsumi's skin, slowly making her aroused by the second.
Following Akame's pace, Tatsumi broke off their kiss sooner than she could guess but before she could even complain, he dove deeper and started to assault the side of her neck, causing her to moan a bit louder than before while turning her head to the side, allowing the brunette to explore different areas around her neck. Tatsumi did more than just kissing though, as he began to lick and suck on her skin gently, careful enough not to create hickeys that could make others suspicious. Soon enough, he switched to the other side and Akame could now hardly control every cute moan she was letting out.
Feeling left out, Akame's hands managed to regain their strength and went downwards to his boxers (for the sake of the story, imagine that he sleeps in his boxers). With one strong pull, she managed to pull it down until it reached her thighs, which allowed her foot to reach up and pull it down the rest of the way, leaving it on the edge of his feet. Although he was a bit surprised, Tatsumi stripped himself of his boxers and kicked it away, leaving him in just his underwear before focusing his new assault on Akame's collarbone. This caused her panties to become even wetter by the second, indicating a clear sign of her arousal that sent a chill down her spine.
"T-Tatsumi…" she purred out cutely, a small blush appearing on her face as she did so. "The bed… p-please…" she looked at the young man's bed, indirectly asking him to take their actions there.
"Anything for you, Akame…" he muttered with a smile before he grabbed her by the butt and lifted her up before carrying the girl towards the bed. As he laid her down softly, he found himself staring once again at the raven-haired beauty below him; her hair like a mess around her, but it only highlighted her most adoring features. Her red eyes glistened under the moonlight and her constant breathing only made Akame harder to resist for Tatsumi, because his tent inside his underwear was nearly out of its cage.
He shook his head and proceeded to work his way through this. He had learned from his encounters with Leone that it was considered a sin to keep a girl waiting in bed, not to mention Akame was an extremely possessive girl over him. "Just let me take care of things, Akame… I'll make you feel good." he said, looking into her eyes.
"T-Tatsumi… please…" she muttered, wanting to experience the same pleasure she felt when he was ravaging her neck earlier like an animal being hungry for its food. Her eyes slightly widened when Tatsumi snaked his left arm around her back and lifted her slightly up from the bed, before letting out a gasp when he started kissing his way down towards her chest.
Using his experience during those times when he was having sex with Leone, Tatsumi already knew what he needed to do in times like this. He took a deep breath and took her left breast in his mouth and sucked on it wholeheartedly while running her right nipple in between his finger and thumb. This was the one that he struck with his sword when they first met, and as if he was telling a story, he was there to heal the wounds underneath.
Akame felt like she was going out of her mind with ecstasy; her hands went to his brown locks and clutched a handful in her grasp, justifying just how much she was enjoying this. Akame had never felt this kind of feeling before, but she liked it. Wait, scratch that.
She was loving it.
"Tatsumi… ohh, keep going…" she mumbled, biting her fist to try and hold in the unmistakable feeling inside her nether regions. Her toes curled as her voice filled the air with her cries of lust and satisfaction, feeling overwhelmed with the intense but pleasurable sensation that she was feeling. Her right hand moved from her mouth towards the sheets, gripping it tightly while the other one travelled further and started clawing his back like a wild cat. The pleasure she was feeling was becoming unbearable, and it could be pointed out that she won't last long.
Tatsumi moved his ministrations from her breast towards her nipple, sucking on it like a child while his free hand started fondling her other mound as a whole, relishing her soft skin in his grasp. This continued for a whole minute until Tatsumi ended his oral adventure with an audible pop, before turning his attention to her other breast and this caused Akame to look at him, her mind clouded with lust.
"Your tits are smaller than Leone's, but yours are way softer than her…" he said while smirking, laughing to himself upon seeing her embarrassed reaction before he continued pleasuring her chest. This time, his right hand started running all over her whole body instead of just staying in one place, letting the rivers of sweet ecstasy and bliss pour into the girl's being.
"Tatsumi…" she purred out, breathing heavily. Akame's eyes rolled to the back of her head when she felt a funny feeling in her nether regions; this feeling was completely new to her and she didn't know what it was, but she knew to herself that she didn't want Tatsumi to stop.
She felt the sensation slowly building up inside her and tried to fight it off because according to Leone, if it happened, then it's likely that she would no longer be able to continue to the 'main event'. Akame would not have the need to do that however, when Tatsumi finally let go of her nipple and smiled lovingly at her.
That was when she felt the pleasurable sensation in her lower regions stop all of a sudden, and it caused her to become confused. Was she supposed to be angry with him not going for the kill, or was she supposed to be thankful that she managed to last long against him? Before she could even make out what should she tell him, Tatsumi already spoke ahead of her.
"Just stay like that, Akame… I'll take care of you." he said, moving slowly away from her and it made the girl afraid that he was going to leave her, causing her to try and sit up from her position on the bed.
"Tatsumi, w-what are y — OOHHH!" she suddenly exclaimed out of surprise, crashing back on the bed flat on her back, feeling something more overwhelming brought her body to a close, and she felt like being compared to jelly. If she was in battle right now, she would have no chance of winning.
"You look so cute when you're like that, Akame…" he teased before positioning his head between his lover's legs and placed his hands on either side of her hips, grabbing the hem of her black panties which were soaking wet with her juices. "I'm going to take it off, Akame." he simply said and almost immediately, the red-eyed girl lifted her butt off the bed for a bit to let him slide the undergarment off her. Tatsumi braced himself for what was going to happen before pulling Akame's panties off all the way.
Akame blushed furiously when she lifted her head up for a few moments when she found Tatsumi openly staring at her shaven pussy; in fact, she felt so embarrassed that she joined her legs together out of nervousness. "D-Don't stare too much!" she said, trying to act serious.
Tatsumi only laughed slightly and grinned afterwards. "Akame, there's nothing to be nervous about okay? It's just the two of us here, and nobody is there to see you but me. I assure you, I'll make you forget about your worries and focus your mind on only the two of us." he said reassuringly, and he waited until Akame finally nodded, spreading her legs slowly as she looked to the side to avoid his gaze.
Once again, Tatsumi positioned himself between her legs and drew his tongue to give her warm entrance a long and slow lick upwards, and he could even hear her juices lapping like water with his movement. Akame's back arched off the bed, letting out a loud moan that took the most of her voice; it caught her off guard, but she felt good nonetheless. Now, she was beginning to realize what Tatsumi meant by his words earlier. She reached out to grab his hair and give it a slight pull, showing that she wanted no, needed more of him.
Tatsumi smirked for a few seconds before focusing his attention towards the girl's clit, latching his mouth on it like a metal drawn to a magnet. He began to kiss and lick her clit all over and he could feel Akame's body thrashing around a bit as her reaction. The young man held her hips firmly to keep her in place as he resumed his work, now beginning to suck on her wet clitoris.
"T-Tatsumi! Ahh Hah! Please… i-inside as well!" she moaned out, managing to speak a few more words despite her lack of energy to do so. Tatsumi stopped in his movements before he went back to his earlier target, wanting to give Akame what she wanted to happen.
Like what he did earlier, he started it off with one slow lick up and down her entrance before he slid his tongue inside her with ease. Akame moaned at her loudest when she finally felt his hot tongue penetrate her insides, and she almost came then and there. In turn, her throbbing pussy had completely intoxicated Tatsumi, the smell alone enough to drive him wild and it caused him to pull his tongue out slightly before inserting it back in over and over in complete rhythm.
This served as a pattern for the brunette and he continued on thrusting his tongue over and over inside Akame's womanhood. The girl felt that she wanted more of him, causing her to pull his head even closer to her entrance, which only made him reach farther inside of Akame, and he could literally smell the scent of her juices on her clit. With every thrust that his tongue made, Tatsumi felt his girlfriend's inner walls clench around him, making it harder for him to move inside of her. However, he wasn't going to back out that easily and made his thrusts more aggressively than before, moving faster and faster inside Akame's pussy to loosen up her insides.
"Tatsumi! This feels… so good! I… I feel kind of… s-strange down… t-there…" she was unable to finish her sentence due to the pleasure that she felt, which completely overtook her strength and left her vulnerable, the strong and stoic assassin was gone.
"Let it go, Akame… it'll get even better after this, trust me." he said, withdrawing his tongue temporarily to speak, before inserting it back in quickly to save her approaching climax.
"AAAAGGGGHHHH!" Akame screamed out in ecstasy as her body thrashed around for a few moments, the first climax she ever felt in her life being milked out of her. The girl arched her back off the bed momentarily, before dropping back with a bounce all because of how mind-blowing that sensation was. Reaching her orgasm made Akame hungry for more.
The predator was still hungry for more.
Tatsumi did his best to suck in everything that she had released, and it could be argued that he 'drank' her because he wasn't willing to let a single drop miss his mouth, which only increased the overwhelming sensation that Akame was feeling, like a stimulant. The red-eyed beauty felt incredible and she felt like this could be something that she'll be fond of doing.
But then Akame felt that this climax wasn't enough to satisfy her. She was still hungry for more, and she needed it NOW. Her resolve had never been stronger before. At this point, Akame had lost herself to her lust and sinful desires, with the cute and stuttering girl from earlier saying goodbye.
Akame reached down to grab Tatsumi by his face and looked him dead into his passionate green eyes and even deeper into his soul. It felt like the young man was staring into the eyes of a Shinigami, but it didn't stop him from being dazed because of how sexy she looked like this. "Tatsumi…" she said in a stoic tone before it completely changed into a commanding one as her face showed determination and fire in her eyes.
"FUCK ME NOW!"
Tatsumi was momentarily taken aback with her words as he had never heard Akame curse nor shout, nor once, with such passion and fire underneath but it also gave him the knowledge this was the result of his actions to give her pleasure and satisfaction.
"Did Leone teach her these words or something? Ah, who cares? I'll deal with her later, I got somebody that I need to attend to! It's only fair that I pay attention to Akame as well." he thought before he flashed his signature grin and smirked afterwards. "Sure thing, you hungry beast." he teased, which actually got her to blush in the midst of her seriousness.
"Tatsumi, please…" she said with a hint of desperation in her tone. "No more waiting around… I need you inside me now!" With her superior speed, Akame managed to gather enough strength to sit up and pull Tatsumi's boxers off completely, and her eyes then widened at seeing his rock hard cock was finally free from its prison. Akame couldn't stop herself from licking her dry lips, waiting for that big juicy rod of meat to slam inside her and take her completely.
"Akame, wait… this is your first time, isn't it? We should be taking this slow because I don't want to hurt you." he told her, but the raven-haired beauty was not going to let this pass by.
She needed his meat and she wanted it now.
Akame reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck before pulling him down for a kiss, both basking in the reunion of their tongues, having a little exchange of saliva for a brief moment before the girl pulled away, afraid that she could forget about her original goal at the moment.
"Do it, Tatsumi." she breathed out without even a single hint of hesitation in her tone, like she was accepting events as they are. "Yes, this is my first time but I don't care. I need you, now." she said firmly, not even paying attention to his slight warning and moving on to what she wanted.
"B-But, Akame! Didn't you even here what I just said? I don't want to —" he was cut off when Akame pressed her finger against his lips, silencing him once again before she flashed him a cute look, and Tatsumi couldn't even last five seconds with it as he finally sighed in defeat. At this point, he was convinced that his lover wanted to go through this no matter what, and he had no way out of it.
Akame smiled at him due to the happiness she felt inside of her; just a few days ago, she was jealous of what had transpired between her boyfriend and her best friend, but now that she was in this position right now, she could care less about it. The girl then kissed his nose cutely before she laid back on the bed again, ready for what was about to happen next, which managed to get Tatsumi to smile once again, which was something that she would never get tired of seeing.
She spread her thighs wide open, letting Tatsumi settle into the space between them and prepared himself while her legs settled on either side of his body; Akame lifted her hips slightly off the bed as if he was inviting him to do it, which made him chuckle slightly before doing just what she wanted him to do. Akame watched with excitement and fascination as the tip of Tatsumi's erection nuzzled and brushed against her outer lips, and then slowly disappeared between them as he pushed forward.
He slid inside her warm entrance slowly like an arm slipping into a sleeve, until he came to a sudden barrier that prevented him from going further. He paused for a moment to give Akame a quick glance, who only nodded with a smile on her face, giving him the final confirmation that he needed.
Tatsumi pulled back a little, then slammed his cock back inside, tearing her hymen. Both assassins couldn't stop a moan that just escaped their lips at Akame's virginity being taken, and the girl then felt the unmistakable pain that women get when they lose their purity. She grunted slightly, her body adjusting to Tatsumi's 10-inch cock all by itself and she felt relief upon learning that losing her virginity wasn't as bloody or painful as Leone told her to be. Still, it didn't stop Akame from shutting her eyes to alleviate the slight pain she felt, which was slowly starting to become blissful ecstasy as time passed by.
Nonetheless, Tatsumi was concerned for his girlfriend as he remembered how him and Leone spent their time together, where even the tough-as-nails Lionel user almost shed a few tears of unbearable pain. If he learned anything during his experiences, a girl's first time in bed could be painful and can. "Well if you want to Akame, do you want me to pull out? I know that it hurts for a girl's first time, so if you want to, I'll stop for now."
Akame grabbed him behind his neck and pulled him closer to her. "Don't you dare! " she told him sharply, sending him a dangerous look before it immediately evaporated into the air, feeling she was being overwhelmed with pleasure once again. Grinning slightly, Tatsumi withdrew his cock and re-entered her womanhood, fully giving way for him to have access to her insides when he finally broke the barrier of skin.
Akame watched as Tatsumi's manhood was left inside of her and he pushed forward a bit more until she wrapped her legs around his hips, holding him in place and preventing him from moving.
"Tatsumi, wait… let me… cherish this moment…" she looked at him with a smile, and he didn't hesitate to return the same look she gave him before they closed their eyes together. A small stream of blood had slowly streamed out her entrance, but that didn't matter to her at all. With Tatsumi inside her, Akame felt so full that it felt like this particular feeling could never be replaced by something else.
In turn, Tatsumi's jaw dropped at how good it was being inside Akame. Thanks to his earlier actions, her womanhood was not that tight anymore and he fit it like a glove even though his erection had an incredible size. She was also very warm and comfortable inside, causing Tatsumi be overwhelmed with the pleasurable sensation that Akame was feeling way earlier.
She opened her eyes and kissed him deeply, and he immediately returned it to her, before she separated from him sooner than he thought. "You can move now, Tatsumi." she said, giving him the go-ahead sign to proceed.
Akame's voice rang in his head like an alarm clock, and he instantly complied, pushing his throbbing cock deeper inside of her until their hips met, before pulling out until it was halfway and proceeded to do the same thing over and over again. The moment he started to move, it felt like nothing that the girl could have ever imagined; Tatsumi was a bit slow and gentle at first, but he was beginning to slowly pick up the pace, which was something that she was hoping for since earlier.
The raven-haired assassin wrapped her legs around her Tatsumi's back and moaned loudly, bringing his face down to her chest with both her arms to make this even better for the both of them. His large throbbing cock was impaling Akame's snatch over and over, and she couldn't even think straight anymore as Tatsumi pounded her into bliss.
She raked her nails across his back, hard enough to leave a few marks all over his skin to let any other girl (especially Leone) that he also belonged to her. On the other hand, Tatsumi's hands found their way towards her breasts as he began to pinch and roll her erect nipples between his fingers, before he lowered his mouth and started to suck on the mound of flesh again, doing everything he can just to make Akame feel good.
Akame had lost complete strength in her arms by now that they were left outstretched on the bed, and she was slightly drooling as a result of her pussy being overwhelmed with Tatsumi's manhood. His bed creaked louder by the moment as he increased the power and his speed in every thrust made. Akame's moans combined with how good and pleasurable her pussy felt continued on sending Tatsumi closer and closer to the edge, nearing his impending climax.
"Tatsumi, harder! Ahh! Do it faster! Hah! Aah! Fuck me harder! Ohh!" she screamed in absolute ecstasy, and luck must be on their side if they didn't get heard fucking like wild animals for the past hour.
Hearing his love scream out his name unleashed a sudden rush of adrenaline within him as his right hand went behind her back and his left one towards Akame's butt, slightly lifting her so that he could plow into her pussy a lot better and faster than before. And he could feel his own cock grow about two inches larger while being buried deep inside her Akame.
The girl felt it as well and she wrapped her arms and legs tightly around him, allowing him to reach into the deepest part of her vagina, nearly touching her womb in the process. Akame closed her eyes and hugged him closer towards her as he pounded inside her harder and harder into oblivion. Tatsumi thrusted even harder inside her, managing to find her g-spot before noticing how she got tighter and hotter the deeper he went. Due to his enhanced stamina, he was able to hold in his orgasm but even still, he couldn't last forever because in fact, he felt his end coming and it was going to be massive.
"Akame…" he groaned out, gritting his as he held Akame's hips and pistoned in and out of her as fast as he could to achieve the orgasm he was looking for. "I'm gonna cum! I can't hold it in anymore!"
"M-Me too! I can feel it again!" she exclaimed, tightening her wrap around the young man with her legs. . "Don't pull out, let's do it together Tatsumi!"
Tatsumi groaned in pleasure and exertion as his veins were bulging and pulsating like snakes through his skin.,The only thing he knew that he should do right now was to thrust inside her over and over until they would achieve it. The two assassins were so close and sure enough that they finally reached their climax at the same time.
"TATSUMIIIIIIIII!"
"AKAMEEE!"
The red-eyed girl screamed out her boyfriend's name as she came explosively, her entire essence wracked with pleasure. Akame closed her eyes as she felt herself give in to the pleasure, her inner walls clamped down on Tatsumi's cock as her juices were drained out of her for a second time and coated the entire place in her own fluids, sending him to his own release as well. Tatsumi shouted out wildly as he inserted his cock as far as he could inside of her, before unleashing himself within her, a white load of his hot cum spurting out and filled up her pussy, their juices mixing with each other and Akame could feel some of his hot semen escaping her womanhood, but she loved it. She loved every second of it.

As they slowly ended their orgasmic state after a long minute, they remained there gasping, suffering from exhaustion as they came together for a deep kiss before he collapsed on top of Akame's chest shortly, resting his cheek against her breasts as he panted. Finally, the girl felt satisfied and that she wasn't hungry anymore. Akame knew what she wanted during this, and she just achieved it, and she couldn't be more happier because her boyfriend and her have done it and their bond was closer than ever with what just happened tonight.
Akame stroked his hair, trying to regain her breath from everything that just happened. As if she was still acting on her primal urges, Akame wrapped her arms and legs around him once again like a protective mother, not wanting to let go of him. Akame could feel exhaustion slowly taking over her, and it was likely that she could collapse at any second. She then heard Tatsumi chuckle for a bit before her eyes widened with what he did next.
Tatsumi rolled over and switched their positions, leaving him at the bottom with Akame straddling his hips above him. He wrapped his arms around her neck and legs around her waist, pressing her breasts and crotch to his naked body as if he was the possessive one. Luckily though, Tatsumi managed to suppress his growing boner, instead looking at his girlfriend in the eye and kissed her one final time.
"I love you." he said with a smile, nuzzling her head into his chest comfortable as he slowly closed his eyes, too exhausted to even keep on going.
Akame felt her heart skip a beat for a moment and suddenly felt that she was going to collapse out of exhaustion and because of how overwhelmed she was earlier with all the pleasure and satisfaction that he gave her.
She smiled and rested her cheek against his chest. "I… love you too… Tatsumi…" she managed to say before finally falling into unconsciousness.
(Same time; North of the Capital)
A tall woman with pale skin and distinctive light blue hair smiled as the Danger Beast she was riding on neared the capital. Esdeath grew excited at the thought of fighting new and stronger enemies, as well as those who deserve punishment.
Night Raid.
Hopefully, they prove themselves to be worthy foes.
"Capital, I'm home…" she mused to herself as the Empire's capital came to view.
