Chapter 9: Revenge against the Ogre.
"I'll be back" said Ken entering the bar when he noticed that his teacher has return. "Master has arrived, you has really delayed today"
"I met an old friend but let's not talk about this" Yoshitsune said looking at a Gaurry sitting sadly."As Benkei told me, Miss Aria decided to leave and asked you to take her to a person she knew, right?"
Ken nodded. "Yes in fact, luckily, I met a soldier named Seryu who took Aria to her captain, she's strange but a nice girl."
'You have, no idea...' Yoshitsune thought before speaking again. "Ken, did Aria tell you the name of the person she knew?"
Ken fixed as the atmosphere began to cool down. "Yeah, her family knew him a while ago and she could trust him, I think his name's...Ogre?"
"Ken..." Yoshitsune growled that made the young man wearing glasses flinch. "You realize the mistake you made!?" He yelled angrily.
"...W-What did I do!?" Ken asked feeling a bit afraid in the sudden change of attitude from his teacher.
"Damn it!" He said as he slammed his fist on the desk. "It's my fault for not telling you before. But there's no turning back, we have to save Aria!" Yoshitsune said as he took his cloak and wrapping around him.
"Benkei-san, take Tao and her brothers to their room, tomorrow we present her to the group for now I have a pending account to pay." He ordered immediately as he left the bar.
"Can someone explain to me what's happening? Why did the teacher say that Aria is in danger?" Ken asked wondering what's going on.
Benkei sighed and shook his head. "Kid, you really have a lot to learn, especially in listening."
"What?"
The bartender took out the picture of the The Ogre. "You haven't heard that the man named Ogre is a criminal, regardless of the uniform he wears, right?"
Ken nodded, gesturing Benkei to continue. "He takes bribes, he kills innocent people...He even rapes girls..."
'...Oh no!' It was then that Ken finally realized that made his eyes widened with his eyebrows raised.
Guarry listening in on the conversation stepped in. "...What you're saying is that...?" He said upon realizing also and got up from his seat.
Benkei nodded shadow casting his eyes. "Aria's about to experience something horrible."
And with that, Ken and Gaurry were completely horrified and unsure of what to do, for now it's up to Yoshitsune.
(Capital: Night)
With the descent of the sun for the arrival of the night, Leone led Tatsumi through the Capital to the main street. "If you go straight, It should take you directly to Main Street." Leone said as she pointed to the street.
"Got it!" Tatsumi listened and was going ahead but Leone stopped him with by grabbing his right shoulder.
"Hey, Tatsumi, do you want to hear a story about Akame?" She asked.
"Huh?" Tatsumi said confused but also interested.
"When Akame was young, both she and her sister were bought somewhere in the Empire, poor parents who sell their children is a fairly common story, although sad." She said.
Tatsumi's face turned sad upon learning of such a fact.
Leone continued. "Then, she was accepted into a training program for murderers along with other children who were in the same boat as her, where she learned how to kill people and somehow survived hellish conditions."
"She worked under the empire, following all their orders, she was the perfect murderer, but with every mission she carried out, she could feel more of the empire's darkness, the boss, who was her objective at that moment."
A scene displayed houses burning, with Akame and Najenda face to face in a silent showdown.
"She managed to persuade her to defect from the Empire and join the Revolutionary Army that cared for the people... At that moment, it seemed that most of the comrades with whom she had trained and grown up with were already dead." She said grimly.
"Do you understand what I'm trying to say?"
Tatsumi gasped with his hands on his hips. "As an amateur, I should shut up and listen to the professional killer, right?"
Leone smiled softly and let out a slight sigh. "Well, you'll understand if you're successful today."
"Yeah, I'll definitely do it!" Tatsumi shouted as he walked through the streets.
"Good hunting!" Leone said as she raised her thumbs up with a grin, before leaving to meet Akame and fulfill the mission assigned to them.
On the main street, the lifestyle of the area was normal. People attended to what they had to do, while others got what they needed. But even when everything was safe, Tatsumi couldn't help that feeling something's wrong while he has found his goal and found someone else with that goal.
Ogre was walking and to Tatsumi's surprise was Aria along with him. Tatsumi thought that he would have the opportunity to not only end his goal but to finish the person who tortured his lifelong friends.
It wasn't for revenge, but it was the right thing to do. Eliminating every cause of corruption to the Empire.
Tatsumi followed Ogre and Aria to an alley, away from the public's eyes.
'Something isn't right...' Tatsumi thought skeptically.
He was planning to lure Ogre into the alley by pretending he wanted to be drafted into the army, but...he's already doing it. He even has that one. But why's that? It doesn't make any sense...
Fortunately, things seemed good to the young man. He followed Ogre and Aria and hid behind a trash can, where he then bent down to hide while looking to the side to see what could happen.
"Mr. Ogre, are you sure this is the right way?" Aria asked nervous where they're going.
Some time ago, when they met, Ogre had offered to take Aria with him to do some shopping on his day off. However, now that she realized her surroundings, she couldn't help but feel worried.
"This place doesn't seem safe..." Aria said that should be loud enough for Ogre to hear.
But none of that mattered to Ogre. In fact, he licked his lips maliciously before stopping, which took Aria by surprise when she did the same and turned to him.
"Something wrong Sir Ogre?" Aria asked, worried.
"Yes..." Ogre replied. Then he let a wicked grin spread across his face. "Everything's perfect!"
"Huh?" Aria questioned, confused. However, the blonde did not receive an answer after that. Instead, she screamed in pain when Ogre grabbed her by the neck and lifted her off the floor, into the air, smiling at her as she held her hands out. But unfortunately the latter was not successful; she only craves more for the muscular man.
"After all this time, I finally have you in my grasp!" Ogre declared proudly. "I'm happy that you're safe and sound, dearest Lady Aria!"
"No..." Aria pronounced. She continually tried to break free of Ogre's hand, but failed. "P-Please...why are you doing this?"
"Why?" Ogre chuckled in response, "You're so naive, like the last time I saw you, your father and I were acquaintances, but he stopped coming to see me when he realized my attraction to you, but now that he's dead and all that fortune of your family will be in my possession, you will do nothing but please me for the rest of your life!"
Aria was deeply afraid of this, even more than before. Ogre was a man who believed that it would be a better option to help her until she could recover her family's fortune and for better use. But now, everything she thought of in the past had disappeared.
She was alone, scared and losing hope quickly. But if being held by the neck, outside of the world was sufficient.
Ogre laughed evilly as he slowly reached for her chest.
Meanwhile, Tatsumi gritted his teeth in frustration as he walked away. The mission was supposed to be simple: Kill Ogre, the devil, and the girl, and inform the hideout. However, happening within yards of him was more than he expected.
Aria was a monster to him, but what she was about to receive was rape, which Tatsumi despised a lot no matter who hhe was.
But he refused to act on it. He didn't want to save her for what she's done.
'I don't like this at all...' Tatsumi thought, his eyes staring at the ground. 'I have to kill Ogre and Aria. It's the only way. But...killing her right now doesn't really count how to save her? I want to relieve her of something bad... '
At this point, everything was too much trouble for Tatsumi. On the one hand, he could use Ogre's lust for Aria as a distraction resulting in killing him and the girl, but on the other hand, he would be saving the blond psychopath. Even though there was only a moment left for him to kill her.
He hated the idea of that, since he felt bitter about it. But he still listened as Ogre continued to ramble his hand a few inches from Aria's chest.
"Now...scream as much as you can, nobody will listen to you!" Ogre said as he laughed maniacally.
Tatsumi finally got fed up with it and sent a loud shout of anger, charging towards 'The Demon'.
Ogre was surprised and turned towards the source of that voice, only to receive something he wouldn't have expected otherwise. Tatsumi pulled out his sword, which was hidden under his jacket, pierced Ogre so hard he stopped on his other side.
"What..." Ogre stammered, his eyes widening with surprise.
"You're dead!" Tatsumi shouted angrily. The emotions that he felt there had gotten the best of him. Therefore, with an obvious expression on his face, he turned to Ogre.
Ogre didn't say anything. The cut in his middle body had hurt, as it kept him somewhat paralyzed. But when he spat blood, the muscular man lost control of Aria's neck falling to the ground without saying anything.
His victim, on the other hand, fell to the ground with a loud thud when she felt the impact. But when she had a few seconds to recover, the brown-haired teen walked toward her until he stood in front of her with an intimidating look.
He didn't escape the blonde girl's notification, while she was screaming and crawling back scared when the situation occurred. However, Tatsumi seemed to think otherwise.
"I cant believe I saved you again..." Tatsumi said with a frown on his face. "You tortured my best friends, so don't think I killed him for you, I will never forgive you for what you've done, I can't kill you now, I saved you from something you deserve a thousand times. When the next time we meet, I only know that I'll kill you-!"
"Tatsumi, watch out! "Aria shouted.
As much as Tatsumi's threat was, the blond couldn't resist warning him.
Ogre had suddenly risen from the ground with a grimace on his face, before swinging his sword. But, fortunately, it wasn't successful.
Tatsumi was able to react to Aria's warning and held his sword against the muscular man's weapon in defense. However, the older man's strength surpassed his and sent him flying back until he skidded to a stop.
'What the hell? Did she just save me?' Tatsumi thought, his eyes widened. "I lowered my guard at that moment. If it weren't for her warning, I..."
"You will die right here, child!" Ogre growled angrily. He stood up again, his wounds didn't bother him as he glared at the young man. "You thought that I, the Ogre demon, would be killed by the likes of you?!"
"No, but I do..." A new voice entered the field as both of the sword wielders, and Aria looked towards the direction as a strange figure walking through the shadows was none other than, Karasu.
"You!" Tatsumi said as he pointed at the figure he recognizes so well.
"Time flies by without seeing you kid, are your friends feeling much better?" Karasu said walking between the youth and the captain of the Empire. He looked at Aria, under his helmet he was smiling.
"I owe you one, for saving her." Karasu said.
Tatsumi opened his mouth but the masked rider stopped him.
"Don't say anything, I know you still hate her for what she did to your friends. But, you saved her because it was the right thing to do, it seems that I was wrong judging you." He raised his sword in front of Ogre. "And you, we have issues to talk about."
Ogre growled. "Who the hell do you think you are?!"
"My name is Kamen rider Karasu. And now, Ogre 'The Demon'! For your crimes you will pay dearly with your life!" Karasu said acquiring his combat pose.
The Demon roared. "Don't make me laugh! I will not lose against shits like you!" He said as he readies his attack.
"Those were your last words...let the judgment begin!" Karasu said, charging against his opponent.
Ogre had tried to use his strength to deliver a quick blow to the enemy, but the rider reacted by diverting his attack with his own sword, he was back on the ground in defense.
The Demon who was supposed to be strong was surprised to face a new opponent who's much stronger, pressing hard defensively while Karasu pressed with his katana, using his strength to try to overwhelm him.
"I see..." Ogre said suddenly. His eyes were on Karasu when he realized the situation. "You belong to that Night Raid group, right?"
"Error." Karasu replied with a wrong sound effect, disarming Ogre and then kicked him directly in the stomach with such force that sent him skidding backwards. "Don't compare me with that group, what I do is justice."
"Justice?!" Ogre roared. A horrifying grunt appeared on his face when he exposed his sharp teeth like a demon. "Don't fuck me! I'm above you!"
"I don't think so." Karasu replied preparing for what's coming next.
Ogre decided to attack the rider by throwing a punch, the rider dodged to the left. Then he saw how the 'demon' tried to hit him with another hit to the right to avoid it and bend back a bit to avoid another blow.
But while holding that position, Karasu suddenly placed his katana by making several cuts on Ogre's leg and arms.
"AAHHH!" Ogre shouted. "I'LL MURDER YOU!" He screamed in pure anger.
From now on, 'The Demon" didn't feel like holding back. He threw a blow to his enemy with all his strength but the rider eluded him and quickly cut the man's arm cleanly followed with a kick in the chest.
"I'll finish you with this!" Karasu said hitting his belt once more.
[Final!]
A pair of black crow wings sprouted on his back as he lifted off as a dark purple energy surrounded his body and transferred into his katana before storing it back in its holster.
"It's not over yet...It's not over!" Ogre roared once more before he could say anything before the rider was now close to him.
In a blink of an eye, Karasu disappeared and reappeared behind him who was stuck frozen.
"Sen Karasu Katto! (Thousand Raven Cuts)!" Declaring his finishing move as he returned to place his katana in its case generating a slight noise.
Shling!
Soon, Ogre's body was cut several times as blood leap out of his body along with a scream of pain.
"Incredible..." Tatsumi said he was amazed how the fight was already over.
Ogre's body was now on the ground, he could still escape moans of pain, he was still alive but not for long.
Karasu approached the body and kneel down to face him.
"You don't have muc time Ogre, so answer me one thing." He said with great tone of serious. "Remember Koryu Ubiquitous? He was part of the Council, in charge of the Police Force? Tell me what happened!"
"Koryu was a traitor police and was a threat to the Empire..." Ogre replied as he felt his shoulder being stabbed.
"Koryu's too nice for something like that, don't lie! Or the pain will be even worse!" Karasu threatened. "Now, tell me the truth right now!"
"When we framed him for treason after the real spy died, we took him out, his face with a mask, and we hung him in public." He said that made Yoshitsune's eyes widened. "His daughter thought he wasn't her father. He laughed while we hung him!" Blood leaking from his grin.
"Poor shit. What he knew wasn't his justice...It was our justice." Ogre said as he laughed before staring at the rider. "Tell me something, how are your parents going? Yoshitsune Minamoto...?"
The rider tensed when he heard his real name out in the public.
"He was right, aside from his own daughter, there was another child who appreciated that man, the son of one of the greatest scientists in the Empire, that was before we killed him for being a future threat to us, that scientist was an idiot for refusing to build what we asked for and now he must be wallowing in his grave along with his whore of a wife!" He laughed before being beheaded by the rider's katana killing him in the act swiftly.
Karasu shook his sword wiping the blood he had before putting his weapon back in its holster. "Judgment, finished." He said as he looked back at Tatsumi.
The brown-haired assassin was put on guard in case the rider decided to tie him, however in a fraction of time he had disappeared to reappear behind him.
"I don't have anything against you, I'll just take the girl." Karasu said taking Aria in her arm. "But before leaving, I'll tell you two things...one, Ken really wants to be your friend and even with these circumstances you can accept him as your friend."
Tatsumi turned around as both the rider and Aria disappeared and then saw him on the roof of the building. 'He's very fast, much faster then Akame...'
"And second, I ask you of a favor, don't tell any of your Night Raid comrades, especially Akame that I was here." Yoshitsune said as he looked down at Tatsumi.
"I understand it was your mission to exterminate this bastard, but I had important issues with him. Tell your friends that you ended up killing Ogre. Everything you heard about my identity, keep it a secret. But I'm sure you'll still tell them if so, give my regards to Akame." Karasu said before leaving but remembered a detail he forgot to tell him.
"And you'd better start running away because I can feel soldiers coming, good bye!" He disappeared just like that.
"Wait!" Tatsumi shouted trying to reach him, but he already left the scene.
Then, he heard soldiers coming. "Hey, you, wait there!" yelled a female voice that's likely a soldier from the Empire.
Tatsumi noticed their yelling and ran off as fast as he could, not daring to look back since he didn't want to be trapped.
(At Benkei's Bar)
"We're back." Yoshitsune said, returning to the tavern in his civilian clothes and with Aria walking by his side.
"Lady Aria!" Gaurry shouted as he saw the girl coming back safe and sound. "Are you okay? Did Ogre do something to you!?" He asked as he's worried, looking over the little princess's clothing and seeing rags and filth on it.
"I'm fine Gaurry, thanks for your concern." Aria said with a genuine little smile, however, it didn't last long when Ken walked in front of her with a frown. "Ken..."
"Aria..." Ken said clenching his fist before making a bow. "I want to apologize deeply, I had a bad feeling that something was wrong, but I didn't think so!"
"I..." Aria murmured, seeing the young man bowing. "The truth is, you don't have to apologize..."
Ken raised both of his brows. "Huh?"
"Tell me Ken...be honest...do you still hate me for what my family and I have done...?" Aria asked with her tone a bit more soft and nervous.
For a moment, Ken could understand the blonde's heart. He could see the guilt that came despite not being able to see her face.
"Aria, I..." Ken muttered feeling that he didn't know what to say to her in these moments until finally he decided. "I still can't forgive what your family has done."
"I...I knew it..." Aria murmured.
"However, I can not continue being angry with you" Ken said surprising Aria. "What you did was wrong and there's nothing that will change the past. But, if you can change the future, if you really regret your actions then I must abandon my hatred..." He looked at her with a smile. "Aria, I forgive you."
Aria was speechless so the only thing she did was to hug the young man with glasses as she began to sob.
Ken surprised her reaction, he starts getting nervous. "Aria, don't cry, don't cry!" He shouted trying to warm her up, his face paled since he didn't like to see a girl cry. He turned to his teacher, Gaurry and Benkei. "Uh, any help!?"
"What a shame Ken, to make a pretty girl cry." Yoshitsune said crossing his arms and shaking his head as he went to sleep.
"What a shame boy, and I thought you would be better than this." Benkei repeated, joining the joke as well as marching away.
"Good luck" Sylvie said laughing, and proceeded to her room.
Gaurry followed after leaving the two kids alone.
"O-Oi! Don't leave me here! Bastards!" It was the last thing Ken said as he had to solve this problem on his own now.
(Meanwhile at the base of Night Raid)
Night Raid's lair was still in place as the night progressed. Although four of its members were still absent, the rest of them, including their boss, were present while they were in the meeting room, with the chief in front of Tatsumi with a smile of satisfaction on her face.
"Good job in dealing with the goal, Tatsumi." Najenda said, congratulating him. "The incident involving that rider named Karasu was unexpected, but we will get to that when the others return."
"Thank you." Tatsumi smirked. Only a few minutes had passed since the incident with the rider occurred.
Since then, Tatsumi had presented his report on him and his mission before arriving at his current situation. He turned to see Akame. "Not bad, eh, Akame?" He asked proudly. "I have done my job and given my report, and I did it somehow without hurting myself!"
Akame was quiet, inspecting him.
Unknown to Tatsumi, she had thought of the mind. But she didn't say anything about it. Instead, she started walking towards Tatsumi, who clearly was still proud, without suspecting anything.
"So you'll have to recognize m-!"
Then he was surprised by what happened next. Akame took off his shirt, hands raised, before his eyes opened with evident surprise.
"WHAT...WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Tatsumi questioned her with a girlish scream.
Unfortunately, he didn't get his answer. In fact, it only got worse when Akame turned to the other only women around.
"Leone, boss, hug him!" Akame said.
"Understood." Najeda nodded and held Tatsumi's arms.
"Oh, this looks fun." Leone said smiling.
At the same time, Tatsumi was shocked and embarrassed to see the two women coming to look for him. "What...what's happening? You can't be...!"
Then with that, the teenager was taken to more shame. His shorts were lowered instantly, revealing his underwear, before he blushed madly as he wrapped arms around his chest in shame. "NOOOOOOOOO!" Tatsumi yelled.
For now, what the girls had just pulled out was summed up in a few words. Tatsumi was standing almost naked before three women as they looked at him. But just when things seemed to take dangerous territory, Tatsumi was surprised when he saw Akame smile it was unexpected but yet, it was a beautiful smile on her face.
"Thank goodness..." Akame said with a kind tone, "I've seen friends die poisoned because they wanted to be tough and not report the wound, but it seems you're not damaged." Then she held her hand. "The death rate for those on your first mission is high...You did very well."
"T-Thank you." Tatsumi said, surprised. From the look on his face, it was clear that the teenage killer was confused.
Luckily, Leone seemed to sense this when she placed her hands on his hips before speaking to him. "Akame expected you to live." She said honestly.
At that moment, Najenda decided to have her own words with a confident smile on her face. " You know, you learn to communicate with your comrades while you cook. "She said sincerely. "To tell through a difficult hunt...Did you notice that everything you did in those days was beneficial for you? "
"Eh...?" Tatsumi replied and returned. "Oh, seriously?"
Now the whole situation seemed to make sense. She made Tatsumi understand while a sense of comfort took over before addressing Akame a little apologetically.
"I'm sorry, Akame." Tatsumi said apologizing. "I got it wrong."
"Everything's fine." Akame assured him. "From now on, please, keep coming back alive."
"Of course." Tatsumi said smiling with confidence. "Please take care of me, Akame!"
Unfortunately, the tone, as well as the stage, seemed to give Leone the wrong idea. However, she knew better, but she couldn't help the laughter on her face as she did it. "I wonder what your intentions are when you were almost naked!"
"You were the ones who stripped me!" Tatsumi yelled with an annoyed look. With that, the teenager began to dress alone. Akame, and Leone stayed on the sidelines while Najenda seemed to have her mind marveled until a thought came to her.
"…Good." She said thoughtfully. Then she turned to Tatsumi. "Then, you will work with Mine, so do your best."
"Eh?!" Tatsumi replied with a look of astonishment on his face.
It was clear from the look on his face that he had no idea how to express his surprise.
However, Leone saw this as a possibility to mock him when she approached him. "It's just one thing after another, right?" She asked with a sarcastic tone. Tatsumi didn't say anything in return.
His mind was still back in the new position the boss gave him. Therefore, it goes without saying that he cried in his mind. "...I HAVE TO WORK WITH HER!?" Tatsumi shouted.
(Elsewhere)
"For some reason, I have goose bumps..." Mine muttered as she shivered, she and the other members were returning from their mission through the forest.
