Hello Everyone, I'm glad that you enjoy the last chapter. This Chapter is mostly a cool down from the last Chapter but a build up to the next chapter.
Chapter 20 Akame P.O.V
Were am I? The last thing I remember was falling unconscious due to protecting Kurome from the explosion. The place I am in is a throne room of some sort. "What is this place?" I said to myself before walking over to a window and what I can see is a city stretching below me. "Hello Akame." A voice said behind me causing me to spin around and placing a hand on Murasame. The person who spoke is a female who is in her mid twenties with light blond hair and green eyes and I realize that they are the same shade as Tatsumi's right eye.
Finally the women is wearing a cross between a dress and armor. "Who are you?" I asked eyeing the women who only just laugh slightly. "You don't need to become tense Akame. My name is Artoria." The now named Artoria introduce herself and my mouth became dry. "As in the the previous wielder of Tatsulot?" I asked causing Artoria to nod her head. "Where are we?" I asked relaxing my stance. "We are in the capital of my home country." Artoria replied causing me to widen my eyes slightly. "So why I am here? Am I dead?" I asked causing Artoria to laugh again.
"Of course not your dead dear, just unconscious. I brought you here because I want to talk about something." Artoria replied and I could tell that it is something important. "It got to do with Tatsumi's use of duel Teigus." Artoria explained causing me to become curious. "The time that he needs to fuse them is closing in. So he must be prepared to use them together." Artoria said and I became worried which Artoria must have saw. "You don't need to worry about him Akame. Tatsumi is a strong warrior so I say that he will survive the use of two Teigus." Artoria said and I know she's right but I still felt dread thinking about it. "Your about to wake up now. I hope your prepared for crushing hugs." Artoria said smiling slightly and before I could say anything, darkness enveloped me.
When I open my eyes, I almost jump out of my skin when I saw that Tatsumi's sleeping face was right next to me. After I calmed down I smile slightly at how peaceful his face was despite him being a skilled assassin. "That just like you Tatsumi. A skilled assassin yet so innocent." I thought before gently stroking his cheek. I think this action cause him to wake up as his eyes fluttered open and I gazed right into his red and green hete eyes. "Morning Tatsumi." I called as Tatsumi sat up in bed. "Morning Ak..." Tatsumi began to say but stop when he realized that I'm a wake. "Akame, I was getting worried." Tatsumi said as he wrap his arms around me and hold me tightly.
"Tatsumi, you don't need to worry about me." I said as he released me but Tatsumi has a serious face. "Akame, you been unconscious for at least a day. Of course I be worried." Tatsumi said and I lower my head. "Sorry Tatsumi." I said but he just shook his head. "Don't be, I'm just glad that your awake now." Tatsumi said before he lifted my head and kiss me. I just love kissing Tatsumi, it so relaxing and comforting with so much chaos around us. As we broke apart, I realize something. "Tatsumi...why I am semi undress?" I asked just realizing that I'm just in my underwear and Tatsumi is in his boxers. Tatsumi began to think of an answer but I think that I will have a little play with him.
"Were you...taking advantage of the situation because I was unconscious?" I asked staring at Tatsumi with a fake glare. "N-no I wasn't! Kurome thought it would be better for you to sleep in your underwear. Please don't be mad!" Tatsumi replied and I laugh slightly at his panic expression. "You can calm down Tatsumi, I'm not mad at you." I said causing Tatsumi to calm down. "So did we manage to assassinate Bols and Julia?" I asked hopefully however Tatsumi had a grim look on his face. "...No, we didn't got the opportunity to assassinate them." Tatsumi replied causing me to become depress slightly at the thought of fighting Julia again.
It was then that something was nuzzling my hand and when I looked down I saw Tatsulot who had a worried look on her face. "Hello Tatsulot, how are you feeling?" I asked causing the small dragon to nod her head. "Tatsulot was panicking a lot when she came up to us after the explosion." Tatsumi explained causing me to look at the biological Teigu with a sad expression on my face. "Sorry for making you worried Tatsulot." I said causing Tatsulot growl slightly whilst smiling. "Come on now. We need to tell the others that your awake now." Tatsumi said as he got out of bed. "Can't we have some time to our self's first?" I asked hopefully. "Maybe later Akame." Tatsumi replied before laughing at my pout.
Line Break Tatsumi P.O.V
It's been a few days since the battle between us and the Jeagers and Boss was not pleased when we heard that Chelsea failed to assassinate Bols and Julia. However, she was pleased when we heard that Bol's Teigu is destroyed. Right now we have traveled to the headquarters of the path of peace to assassinate the spy that the Prime Minister has planted within the religious organization. Our first task after setting up our base within the city is to memorize the streets and places so that we have a good idea of where we are encase we ran into trouble.
And that's want I'm doing at this moment with my fellow Night Raid member. "It sure's livelier then the Capital." I said looking around at the stalls and marveling at how active the streets are. "I guess it's got to do with the aim of the Path of peace, do good deeds to live a happier life." a voice responded and I turn my head to see a teenage girl with blue eyes and wearing a white dress. Her long black hair is tied up in a bun and is wearing a white sun hat.
"Nervous Emily?" I asked to the teenage girl walking next to me. "Of course I'm nervous Tatsumi. This is the first time in a long time that I'm walking in public." Emily replied as she looked around nervously and clutching the long bag that she has slung round her left shoulder. "You need to relax. Your wearing a disguise so nobody will recognize you, I certainly didn't." I said thinking back to breakfast this morning.
Flashback (start)
"Darn it, I woke up later then usual." I thought as I hurried down the stairs towards the dinning area with a mini Tatsulot running right behind me. "Where is Akame? She not in bed when I woke." I thought as reached the door that goes into the dinning area and opened it. "Sorry if I slept in." I said immediately as I enter the room but I notice that no one is in the room. "They probably still asleep." I said to Tatsulot who shrug her shoulders. "Morning Tatsumi, you didn't slept in." A voice said and looked in the direction that the voice came from and I saw a girl I didn't know.
"...who are you?" I asked confused as I stared at the girl. "My name is Emily and you could say that I'm Night Raid's new member." The now named Emily introduce herself but I became more confused. "...I didn't know that we will be getting a new recruit." I said and by instinct my hand started to edge towards Incursio which is strapped to my belt. "Well...it was a last minute call so the Revolution army didn't have time to get a message to former General Najenda. I only arrived yesterday." Emily replied which cause me to relax slightly. It was then that the door open revealing Chelsea.
"Morning Tatsumi, Tatsulot, Emily!" Chelsea called before quickly picking Tatsulot up and started to pet her. "Chelsea...do you know Emily?" I asked whilst sweat-dropping at Chelsea's action. "Yes I do...and you as well Tatsumi." Chelsea replied with a smirk and I turned back to look at Emily, trying to understand what Chelsea meant. As I looked at Emily, I notice that she looks familiar for some reason, After a few minutes of thinking, I suddenly realize who Emily is. "Akame...is that you?" I asked causing Emily to smile. "Why are you wearing a disguise?" I asked feeling slightly embarrist that I didn't recognize her in the first place.
"Aw is Tatsumi feeling embarrist?" Chealsea asked in a teasel tone of voice as she drape her arms around my shoulders. "Hands off Chelsea!" Akame yell as she came up to us and pull me out of Chelsea's hands. "Jealous as usually Akame. To answer your question Tatsumi, I made a disguise for Akame so that you two can go on a date together later today." Chelsea replied making me confused as I felt Akame's hand getting tighter around mine. "Date?" I asked causing Chelsea to giggle slightly.
Flashback (end) Akame P.O.V
After Tatsumi finish talking about the events this morning, I guess he had a point. Tatsumi didn't recognize me until he looked at me carefully. "I guess that your right Tatsumi but still, I do feel..." I was about to say but when I turned around I saw that Tatsumi wasn't next to me but at a ice-cream stand causing me to gain a tick mark. "Listen to your girlfriend when she talking to you." I thought angrily as Tatsumi came back to me carrying two ice-cream cones. "Here." Tatsumi said as he put a ice-cream in front of me. "...What?" I asked confused at his actions. "Well you need to relax other wise the enemy can pick up on your vibes." Tatsumi explained as I pick up the ice-cream out of Tatsumi's hand.
"Thanks." I said starting to feel my cheeks heating up. When I lick the ice-cream, my now blue eyes widen. "What flavor is this?!" I asked, finding the ice-cream tasty. "It's a flavor that not available back at the capital." Tatsumi explained as he began to walk away. "So where next then?" I asked as I catch up with Tatsumi. "I think we're suppose to patrol the east side of the city. We need to avoid the center of the city, that's where Esdeath and the Jeagers are said to be stationed." Tatsumi replied and I could see a flash of anger in his eye at the mention of Esdeath.
I thought back to the conversation I had with Artoria. "I guess that Tatsumi will use the fused form of Tatsulot and Incursio when he face Esdeath." I thought, feeling dread enter me at the thought that Tatsumi will likely die at the use of the fuse Teigu. "It will be a miracle if he survives." I thought again before shaking those thought away and enjoying the company of my boyfriend.
Line Break Wave P.O.V
It's night time now and I'm on patrol. After the battle with Night Raid, we told General Esdeath of what happened to Bol's Teigu and she decided to keep him on with the Jeagers until further notice. That decision made me and the others happy as even though he wears a scary mask, Bols he quite a nice guy. However I need to focus on my patrol as there is a high chance that Night Raid will assassinate Bolic, the spy that Prime Minister Honest has place within the Path of peace.
The one thing I don't understand is that Bolic has those four Demons as bodyguards so I don't see why he need the Jeagers for protection and I think General Esdeath is thinking the same thing. This religious organization must be important to the Prime Minister if he risk moving us away from the Capital. When I think of the Prime Minister, he seems like a nice person but for some reason I feel like there's another side to him, something dark. As I turned a corner in the street, I started to hear voices. "So this is the way towards the graveyard?" A familiar male voice asked. "Is that Tatsumi?" I thought as I turned around another corner and I saw him but he wasn't alone.
Standing next to him is a girl with black hair tied in a bun and is wearing a white dress. "Who's she?" I thought again as I flatten myself against the wall and listen to the conversation. "Yes it is Tatsumi. That's the meeting point with the Rebel scouts." The girl replied and the mention of Rebel scouts grab my attention. "Has Tatsumi joined the Revolution army?" I thought and I did overheard a conversation a while back between Run and General Esdeath that it was a possibility that Tatsumi would join the Revolution army. Tatsumi and the girl walked in silence and when Tatsumi spoke, the question cause me to become shock.
"So...did you enjoy the date today Emily?" Tatsumi asked whilst blushing causing the girl to blush as well. "That girl is Tatsumi's girlfriend?!" I shouted in my head and it took a lot of mental strength not to actually shout it aloud. "Yes I did, thank you for asking Tatsumi." The girl replied smiling slightly and it was then that something clicked within my head. "Didn't Tatsumi said that he had a girlfriend called Emily?" I thought, remembering the conversation that that took place a while back when Tatsumi "joined" the Jeagers. It was then that Tatsumi and Emily stopped and I realize that they stopped at the road that leads towards the graveyard.
"I need to get change now, can you and Tatsulot keep watch." Emily said as she went into alleyway and I it was then that I realize that on top of Tatsumi's shoulder was a small dragon-type Danger beast and a thought came into my head. "That Danger beast has the same name and it looks like the Biolgical Teigu that the twin Teigu wielder had." I thought getting slightly suspicious. But before I could think of anything else, Emily walked out of the alleyway...well it should be her. Instead on Emily walking out of the alleyway, the new girl is wearing a black trench coat with red arm-guards and her noticeable features is her red eyes."T-That's Akame from Night Raid!" I shouted in my head as my jaw is hanging open.
"Wait...does this means that Tatsumi is apart of Night Raid?" I thought, gripping the handle of Grand Chariot as I became serious. "So where is Kurome, isn't she suppose to meet us here?" Tatsumi asked referring to Akame's younger sister. "I'm not sure, I guess she will be here soon." Akame replied as she peered down the streets, a hand on Mursame. "I wonder when it will be discovered that I'm apart of Night Raid?" Tatsumi asked causing me to sweat-drop that he already been discovered and Akame looked at him. "You shouldn't say those sort of things Tatsumi, you haven't been discovered yet and let it keep it that way." Akame said before she brought her head towards Tatsumi and started to kiss.
I began to blush and looked away from Akame and Tatsumi. "I didn't expect this happen." I thought as I try to reduce my blush and it was then that something clicked in my head. "Tatsumi is the the duel wielder of Incursio and Tatsulot!" I thought as I realize that the the small dragon is the same Biological Teigu. When I looked again, I saw that those two are still kissing. "How big is their oxygen capacity?!" I roared in my head and when I looked at Tatsulot (who was on the ground now) I saw that the Teigu had a awkward look on it's face.
"Hey lovebirds, get a room will ya." I voice suddenly said making Akame and Tatsumi break apart and the voice made me jump. "Oh er...hello Kurome." Tatsumi said whilst blushing as he looked at a girl with short black hair and eyes. "Jezz, someday that romance between you two will cause trouble." Kurome said with a sly look on her face. "...sorry." Akame said awkwardly making me surprise as I never expect that Akame, the wielder of Murasame, would act like this. "So how was the "date" today?" Kurome asked causing Tatsumi to smile slightly.
"It went okay." Tatsumi replied as Akame nod her head. "Nothing unusual happened whilst we were exploring." Akame said causing her younger sister to nod her head. "Come on Tatsumi, Tatsulot, time to head back to base." Kurome said as she took a hold of Tatsumi hand which cause Akame to glare at her slightly. "...Sorry Sis, good luck with your meeting though." Kurome said as she let go of Tatsumi's hand which cause Akame to stop glaring at her. "Bye Tatsumi." Akame said before she kiss Tatsumi on the lips again. "See you later Akame." Tatsumi before walking away with Kurome. "Do your loving making later okay." Kurome said as she and Tatsumi continue walking down the street being followed by Tatsulot.
I looked back at Akame to see her composing herself before having a calm expression on her face. "Better get this meeting over with." Akame said as she began to walk towards the graveyard. I was about to follow when I remember that the graveyard was in Run's area of patrol. "He can handle Akame as his Teigu allows him to fly. I better carry on with my patrol." I thought and I was about to walk away when a thought enter my head. "Should I tell General Esdeath about Tatsumi being in Night Raid and is Akame's boyfriend?" I asked myself and after thinking for a few minutes, I decided to tell her everything. "Sorry Tatsumi, but a soldier has to follow orders." I thought before walking off.
However after a few minutes walking I stop as a thought cross my mind. "That Kurome girl sounds a lot like Chloe...don't tell me that...!" I thought realizing the truth. "I deal with it later. But first I need to report back to Esdeah."
Line Break Akame P.O.V
The meeting with Rebel scouts was simple, they say that they have discovered that beneath one of the graves is a passage that leads straight towards Bolic's mansion. The only down side part is that they haven't actually found the passage, only the existence of it. The meeting was interrupted with the appearance of the wielder of Mastema. The battle was slightly difficult due to the height differences but I did manage to get him to ground level. However when he realize that at ground level, Run (I think that was his name) decided to leave the battle. "Great, the Jeagers will now be aware that we're here now." I said before hearing laughter behind me.
"That's correct Akame. It's not like you to let a opponent escape." The voice said and I turned around to see a muscular man with white hair and is only wearing shorts. "Ibara!" I said in surprise, remember him with the time I spent with the Empire. "It's nice to see you again after so long Akame." Ibara said and it was then that I saw that he was carrying something in his hands. It took me a few seconds to realize that the things in his hands are the heads of the two rebel scouts. "I bury you!" I shouted in anger at Ibara before charging at him with Murasame at the ready.
"Oh good, a girl like you who deserted the Empire deserved a good spanking." Ibara said in a excited tone of voice before shooting something out of his fingertips. After dodging them, I realize that the things coming out of Ibara's fingertips are his nails that somehow Ibara manage to extend them by a great length. When I got close enough, I swing Murasame, hoping that I can end this fight quickly. However when Murasame's blade got in close range of Ibara's stomach, his stomach moved at a impossible angle, completely missing the poisonous blade. "Surprised? Along with the intense training that me and the other demons did at the temple of the Imperial fist, we been eating the broth that comes from lake kraken." Ibara explained as I jumped back.
"This allows us to move our bodies parts at will. So I hope your ready Akame!" Ibara said, saying the last part in a excited tone of voice before attacking me with his arms at a fast pace. I was having difficulties blocking the attacks as the arms are coming at me at impossible angles "So how do you like that Akame. At this speed, even your creepy blade can't touch me." Ibara said and the name he called Murasame cause me to think of a plan. I swing Mursame and instead of dodging it like last time, Ibara caught it in his bare hands. "I told you that we the four demons have undergone intense training. Now your Teigu is mine." Ibara said before ripping Murasame out of my hands. "Now then Akame, how does feel like that your about to get killed from your very own Teigu?" Ibara asked whilst grinning as he lifted Mursame.
However, I smirked slightly causing Ibara to become confuse. "Why are you..." Ibara was about to ask but before he could finish his question, Murasame started to shake within his hand. "What the?!" Ibara asked as he looked at Mursame wide eyed. Before he could do anything, I jump on to Ibara's shoulders and twist his neck. "Ahhh!" Ibara shouted, causing him to drop Mursame and I jump off of him before I could get hurt. "What on earth happened?" Ibara asked as he twist his head the right way round. "You aren't compatible with Murasame. I knew that once you called Mursame creepy, you can't wield it." I replied and I could see anger appearing in Ibara's eyes. "So you deliberately let me get Mursame...why you Akame!" Ibara shouted as he charged at me.
I waited until he was close to before swinging Mursame, cutting him to piece. "HeHeHe, your one dangerous girl Akame." Ibara said weakly before closing his eyes and letting the poison take his life. I took a deep breath before wincing in pain. " I didn't expect we would meet the four demons here. I expected that we would confront them once the Prime Minister is assassinated." I thought as I looked back into the city. "There are three more demons to take care of plus the Jeagers. Assassinating Bolic will be a difficult task. I hope that everyone can survive this mission." I thought worriedly.
And that's it until next the chapter which i say that you will enjoy it very much. Until next time everyone.
Silver556: I won't say for now, but i can say that Kate and Ana will not be Night Raid's enemy
Jay k: I wrote in chapter one what Tatsulot's Trump card is but I'm not sure if it will be used in the story since Tatsumi has his yet to be seen fuse Teigu.
zerobound: Thank you very much for your response :)
Hello I'm new here and Lennyn362: I wasn't originally having a LubbockxChelsea in this story but I'm considering about it ;P
