THE HIGHLANDS

Due to the doctor's knowing of night raids hideout. The team decided to relocate for the time being. They were flying on air manta heading for the highlands.

Tatsumi: woohoo! this feels awesome.

Chelsea: your so innocent. I can't believe your a killer tatsumi.

Leone: yeah the view is great.

Akame: yeah it's really nice. Mine and lubbock were in the back look like they are about to lose it.

Mine: THIS ISN'T NICE AT ALL.

Leone: wait where is ren.

Ren: right above you. She looked up to see ren flying over them.

Akame: how come you aren't sitting with us.

Ren: i prefer to fly on my own its a dragon's pride thing that we fly by our self's

Leone: Jeez a dragon's life must be something.

Ren: it has its advantages. You get wings, breath fire.

Akame: what are the disadvantages.

Ren: You get this real craving for fish. The air manta and ren finally landed on the cliffs on the hillside.

Najenda: the highlands these lands are filled with all types of danger beast and its not that hospitable. And thats exactly why we will be building our new hideout here for a couple of months. The air manta then started to fly away.

Mine: hey its getting away should we try and catch it.

Chelsea: it's going back to its nest at HQ. Wow mine i can't believe you didn't know that. mine then said to herself "I hate you already".

Najenda: oh thats right i haven't introduced our new recruits. Everyone this is. She was about to introduced Chelsea until she was gone from the spot she was standing. She then appeared behind ren touching his tail.

Chelsea: so your the monster guy i have been hearing so much about.

Ren: why are you touching my tail.

Chelsea: oh yeah my name is Chelsea lets hope we can be friends right. She then handed ren a lollipop.

Ren: um? thanks. He then took the lollipop.

Najenda: now to introduce this fellow. Everyone meet the lighting fast susanoo. since organic types are not the diminishing so i can still use him even with my injuries.

Tatsumi: Hey. Susano then looked at him noticing his shirt was out of place. and in an panic he fixed his shirt.

Susanoo: fixed

Najenda: i should warn you he's a bit of a neat freak.

Leone: so besides fighting what are his primary abilities. Najenda then started to chuckle. Najenda: i will show you try to contain yourself's Susanoo proceed.

Susanoo: understood. He then used an axe to cut down tree's in a matter of second he already build a house. Then he started cooking food as he was doing it.

Lubbock: what is he doing?

Tatsumi: it looks like chores.

Najenda: wonderful isn't he. His primary objective was to protect royalty and fill their needs. his functions include both combat and care taking.

Mine: how is any on that going to help us in a fight.

Najenda: now now let's not get hasty. He also Carrie's a trump card for combat.

Susanoo: yeah.

Ren: so these are my new teammate's. Lets hope that we can all get along. He then looked over at Chelsea and su.

Chelsea: oh my god mine your chest is so flat.

Mine:Shut up.

Lubbock: you know you might be big and handsome and strong and everything. But in the end your just a glorified man maid.

Ren: or not.

Later that night

Najenda: well i hope you know why we are up here.

Akame: we can't fight as we are now we need to be stronger.

Najenda: just to let you all know this is all i could get as in terms of new members. just remember that the next time we try to get reinforcements. But anyway ren. ren then looked back at her. I would like to know your knowledge of dragons considering you seem rather fond of them. everyone in the room looked at ren.

Ren: well where i come from they are very rare to see. Actually you really never see them.

Leone: how come?

Ren: its because people don't believe they exist.

Chelsea: If their so rare to see. have you ever seen one.

Ren: in my entire life i have only seen one dragon.

Tatsumi: which one? ren then pulled out a picture.

Ren: it was my mom. He then passed the picture around everybody. Everybody got a good look on what his mother.

Lubbock: Whoa! your mom is.

Ren: don't even think about finishing that sentence. saying that in a very serious tone. Lubbock was very scared by this

Lubbock: nice she looks very nice.

Leone: wait i thought you said she was a dragon.

Ren: she is.

mine: then why does she look human

Ren: some dragons have the ability to turn into humans and back to dragons.

Akame: well what does she really look like.

Ren: well its been a long time. i can't really describe her appearance in words. I just wish i can show you. Then his sword started to move.

Tatsumi: hey ren whats up with your sword. Ren then looked at his sword to see is moving.

Mine: whats it doing. The sword then floated in the air and appeared right in front of everyone.

Lubbock: whoa! The fire then went out. but the sword was shining a blue light in the room. It then settled itself on the ground and started showing a projection. Its showed a white bluish dragon with white wings ,a long tail with no arms with blue eyes.

Tatsumi: whoa! thats a dragon. Ren was still looking at the image with a shocked look on his face.

Akame: whats wrong ren.

Ren: thats her. Thats my mom. Everybody in the room was in silence until they all said THAT'S YOUR MOM.

Ren: yep i can never forget that dragon. the projection then ended. And the fireplace then came back on.

Leone: whoa that was weird. Ren then picked up his sword.

Tatsumi: Ren you ok? He didn't say anything and decided to leave the room.

Mine: he looked sad.

Najenda: of course he looked sad he just saw his mother again in a long time. The family you come from is always something you always remember. But i wonder how did she died. Akame was the last one holding the picture of ren and his mother. She then decided to give it back to him.

Akame: i should go give him his picture back. She then left the room to find ren. She found ren outside sitting on a hill outside of the house and noticed that he is crying.

Akame: whats wrong? Ren turned around to look at akame.

Ren: Its nothing i just haven't seen her in a long time.

Akame: here is your picture back.

Ren: thank you.

Akame: how did it happend. She then satted down next to him.

Ren: What?

Akame: how did your mother die.

Ren: Its kind of a sore subject.

Akame: i want to hear about. Ren then looked at akame seeing that she wants to know about it.

Ren: ok i'll tell you. He then looked back at the picture. It was eighteen years ago. My mom decided to take me with her to the market. I was only 2 years old back then so i was just a kid. We were wandering around looking for food for dinner. Then strange men came around us. My mother held on to me tight. she was talking to them.

Akame: what did they want?

Ren: they wanted me. they wanted to study me and do research because i was a rare specimen to them. My mother said no because she didn't want her son to be a experiment. They decided to take me by force. My mother was not going to let it happen so she turned into her dragon form and flew away with me. We are going to get away.

Akame: what happend?

Ren: they shot her down. she crash landed right almost to the sea. I looked around to find her. I finally found her but she was on the ground bleeding. I went towards her to see what was wrong. She then looked at me and started to cry. she then putted her hand on my face and said "please stay strong" after that she closed her eyes. Ren then started to cry.

Ren: since i was young i didn't know what was going on i told her to get up so we can leave. I even tried to move her. While i was doing that the strange men came back to take me. I could't just leave my mother. I had no where to go. Then out of the sea my father came i still remembered him roaring and blasted them away from me. Akame was silent while she was still listening.

Ren: He then looked at where i was only to see that i was crying and he saw the women he loved dead. I looked at him to see that he was also crying. That was the first time i saw tears on him. He then picked me up and took me home and putted me to sleep. I then woke up to see that he was gone. From that moment i was alone for the rest of my life. When i got my wings i flew to the nearest town and left my home. Because staying there had too many memories. Now here i am telling my story to you still crying about it.

Akame: that was sad. I didn't know that happend to you. I 'am sorry. After hearing that ren then cried

Ren: akame i don't want to be alone anymore. For the past eighteen years it has been just me no one else. nobody cared about me. The only two people that cared about me are gone And there was nothing i can do about it. Akame looked at ren he has lost everyone that cared for him and there was nobody else in the world that would look at him due to his appearance. Akame then got in front of him and hugged him to her surprise his skin didn't feel hard or scaly. It felt like normal skin. Ren was surprised to this.

Akame: i know what its like to be alone and to see your loved ones back at your side. But ren your not alone now you got me. Ren was now surprised that someone now cares for him.

Ren: thank you akame for caring. They both got up from where they were sitting.

Akame: ren can i tell you something.

Ren: what is it

Akame: last night when you said what love is

Ren: yeah?

Akame: well i. she then fell off balanced off the hill taking ren with her. they were tumbling down the grassy hill. Akame landed down at the bottom of the hill laying down while ren landed right on top of her.

Ren: sorry about that,

Akame: it's ok. Ren got his head up and noticed he was facing akame right on top of her. they were both blushing and at the same time their hearts were beating like crazy.

Ren: what was it you wanted to tell me.

Akame: I think that i'm. surprisingly knowing what she was going to say. He kissed her. Akame was surprised about this but she decided to let it be and closed her eyes and enjoyed the kiss. In both their minds their hearts felt like they were in heaven. They then broke the kiss to look back at each other.

Akame: how did you know what i was going to say.

Ren: i took a risk and see what would happen. Do you really feel that way about me.

Akame: yes i do.

Ren: But you know that i'm not human.

Akame: i don't care about that. She then putted her hand on his face still looking up at him. My feelings are for you. Not for what you are. You showed me that you shouldn't let what you are stop you from enjoying life. Ren was really surprised for the past eighteen years. No one cared for him because to them he was a monster. But now he has found somebody that cares for him for who he is not for what he was. That person was akame.

Ren: i feel the same way Thank you akame. She then smiled and said.

Akame: I should be thanking you.

Ren: for what?

Akame: you gave me a reason to love. They then kissed again this one lasted longer then the other. they both then got up from the ground still kissing. They then moved apart.

Ren: it's getting late lets head back.

Akame: ok. She then held on to his hand as they walked up the hill and back up to the house.

Leone: their you two are where have you been.

Ren: we have just been talking. she then looked at their hold hands.

Leone: wait are you two?

Akame: i guess you can say that. She then smiled and looked at ren he then smiled back at her.

Leone: wow i can't wait to tell everybody.
