Agore's POV

"Alright, again!" I commanded.

"HYA!" Chelsea slapped the needle and lunched it at the wall.

The target mark on the wall clinked as the needle poked straight through. Recently, the girls and I had been working to make sure they could do more for me in combat than just grabbing someone to use their Ghost chilling powers.

"Okay, let's take a break," I said, pulling the needles out of the target and putting them back in the pouch I had made for them on my waist.

"I'm sick of sitting around." Seryu floated over. "When do we get to go out and render painful justice on Wild Hunt?"

"Soon," I told her. "We'll be going out tonight, so make sure you're ready, okay?"

"Finally…" Seryu said eagerly. "I've been waiting days for this."

She's determined…can't fault her she wants revenge and she wants to change the world.

"Do you know much about these guys?" Chelsea asked.

"Not a ton. They've all got Arms and are led by the Minister's son, but that's all we know," I sighed.

"Agore…" Akame walked over. "We're going to be going out soon."

"Right, you want to eat before we go?"

"Yes!" she said quickly.

I laughed. "I don't even know why I bothered to ask."

Chelsea and Seryu went back into the lantern to rest while as I walked inside with Akame.

"So how is your training going?" she asked me.

"Pretty good," I said. "Chelsea's gotten pretty accurate at throwing her needle and Seryu is able to pick up a surprising amount of weight. It seems Chelsea is the swifter one, but Seryu is the stronger one. I think they make a nice combo."

"Good, I'm glad Seryu wants to help us," Akame smiled sweetly.

Once we got inside, I made up a small meal for Akame.

Without Suu, we've all gone back to taking turns cooking. Not that I mind, my strengths have always been in medical support, not in battle, so I'm fine taking a light role.

"Here you go," I said, placing the plate down.

"Nom!" Akame dove right in to her meal.

I just watched her and smiled. Moments of calm sweetness for just the two of us are a little hard to come by with how serious things have been lately.

"Akame…" I looked up at her before stealing a quick kiss. "I love you."

She just blushed. "I know…I love you too."

I got up and started to wash Akame's dish after she was done inhaling her meal.

"Agore…" she hugged me from behind, pressing her body close to mine.

"Something wrong?" I asked.

"No, everything is just fine," she said. "I wish we could stay this close forever."

"Don't worry," I reached down and put my hand on hers. She hugged my waist a little tighter. "Once this war ends, I'm going to stay with you forever."

"Hmm…" she hummed and let go. "I'd like that."

I put the plate on the drying rack.

"We'll finish this business, buy a nice house out in the plains, live a calmer life. Maybe I'll work as a doctor as a clinic, you can be my cute nurse."

"Stop it…" she blushed.

"It'll be the two of us, maybe a kid or two if you want," I smiled. "A nice little family, and hey, Chelsea and Seryu can hang around too."

"That all sounds…too good to be true," she frowned.

"It's going to come true," I told her. "I'll make come true."

Akame leaned up to kiss me. "Come on, we should get ready to go."

"Okay."

Later

"Everyone ready?" I asked.

"In position." "Ready."

We were waiting in the shadows. Three members of Wild Hunt were engaged in combat with Ran and Kurome. Actually, fighting a three on one was tough for them.

"Kurome…Run…" Seryu shivered. "Please…"

"We're here for Wild Hunt. Stay focused, guys," Chelsea told me.

"Go Run!" Seryu cheered, as the man used his wings to knock back an attack and burn the clown to ashes.

"Let's move!" I yelled.

"Taking a shot!" Mine said.

I heard Mine click the trigger, and the performer's heart got blow out of her chest.

"Got her!"

"GO!" I yelled running forward.

"RAAH!"

Tatsumi jumped out and slammed his spear into the ground, shaking the earth and forcing the man back.

"Chelsea!" I reached into my bag and threw a needle into the air.

"Shot!" Chelsea grabbed the spike and threw it forward.

"AGGGAA!" the man screamed as the needle embedded itself in his eye.

"RAAAA!" Seryu picked up the fallen singer and hurled her into the man.

"HYP!" Akame dashed in and drew her sword, felling the man in one swing.

When Akame slid to a stop, she was staring down Kurome.

"Sis…"

I got behind Akame. "They made this job a little easier, but there's still a few members of Wild Hunt missing."

"The Jaegers will hunt down anyone who disturbs peace!" Kurome yelled. "No matter who it is!"

"Kurome…" Seryu sighed, standing behind her former teammate. "I wish you could hear me…I could tell you how wrong we all were."

Kurome shivered. "It's…so cold."

"Please…get out of here." Seryu said, hugging her.

"Huh, who's there?!" Kurome turned around, only to look disappointed. "I thought I heard…"

"Prepare yourself, Kurome!" Akame yelled.

"You're on the list too, we have to take you out."

"No, please!" Seryu begged. "They helped you this time, can't you look away just once?!"

"Mastema!"

I jumped in front of Akame and used my shovel to block the feathers.

"Run!" Kurome gasped as the man grabbed her and flew off.

Mine slid by and aimed her gun. "Dammit…they got too far away. He used the last of his energy to get her out of here."

"Last of his energy…?" Seryu asked. "You…she doesn't mean…"

"His breathing was labored, his energy was low, and he was bleeding," I told her. "I don't think he had much more time."

"N-no…' Seryu frowned. "He can't…"

She sighed. "I should apologize."

"Huh?" Chelsea and I both tilted our heads.

"I tried to get you to spare Kurome. I'm a member of this team too, so I should have the same goals as all of you," she told me. "I thought I had my old feelings behind me, but…"

"It's okay," I smiled.

"Well, let's grab the leftover Imperial arms and get out of here," Lubbock said. "People are gonna be here soon."

We picked up the sword, the Microphone, and the Six orbs. We sent the captured Imperial Arms to the Revolutionary army. I do always wonder who gets the ones we send.

"Come on," I put my arm on Akame's shoulder. "We gotta get out of here. Don't worry, we can still save her."

"Mhm."

"You want to save Kurome, Seryu wants to save Kurome, and I promised to help you cure her," I said. "We will save her."

"You keep making me promises," she said. "You can't possibly make them all come true."

"Even if it's impossible," I smiled, "I'm gonna do it, cause they're for you."
