Agore's POV
"Akame…" I blinked walking up and seeing her fighting Kurome.
I watched from afar as Akame engaged with Kurome's zombies, slashing and cutting them back. Kurome wasn't using them to push forward however she was using them to recover a retreat.
"KUROME!" Akame jumped up after her as Kurome fled "Tomorrow night, come face me!"
"…Okay." The younger girl nodded as she flew off.
"Akame." I landed next to her "Are you okay."
"I'm fine." She sighed.
I hugged her as the rain started to fall around us, the ground getting soaked with precipitation.
"It's okay to be nervous."
"I'm fine." She smiled at me the rain splashing on her face "I promise, let's just go home for a bit."
"Okay."
"So I guess everything was quiet on your side?" she asked as we walked.
"Not really, I had to deal with some people." I said "Akame I…"
"It's alright." She didn't bother looking up at me, seeming to just know what I was going to say "I understand, you did what you needed to, that's okay."
Later
When we got back to base Akame was quick to eat dinner and quietly go off alone.
"What's bugging you?" Chelsea floated out.
"What do you think, Akame." I sighed "I know I said I'd let her deal with this her way but…I'm just worried she's going to regret this in the end."
I put the lantern down on my desk and closed the door "You girl's don't cause any trouble now, I'm taking a walk."
"Fine." Chelsea laughed floating back into her home.
I headed outside and found Akame sitting against a tree.
"Wanna come inside, you'll catch a cold sitting out here." I smiled.
"Agore…" she mumbled "Sorry, thinking about it all makes me so restless."
"I figured." I smiled "Don't get too stressed, I'll be there."
"No this is my problem." She whispered.
"Your problems are my problems you know." I smiled kissing her and draping my raggy coat on her shoulders "Part of having a boyfriend is that they get to worry about you all the time."
"I planned to go alone, I'm sure Kurome is the same." She snuggled against me shoulder.
"I'll stay out of your way." I said "Besides in ancient duels people used to bring a spotter to make sure their opponent maintained honor and all that, so I'll be your safety backup if things go south."
"Don't you understand." I held my arm around you shoulder "No matter what happens I'm always going to be here for you, I thought we both new this."
"I know." She said with a cute worried look "I want the same with you, but at the same time…I'm always so worried I'll lose you."
"Well both be okay, I promise." I kissed her.
"You…Agore." She kissed me "Even if I had to use the secret technique, would you still love me?"
"Huh?" I asked "I thought you couldn't use Murasame's Trump Card."
"It does have one." She stood up, my coat falling off her shoulders "But as I am now I can't use it."
"What do you mean?"
"To use the extra powers of a blade like this I need to discard my humanity…that's what I was taught." She explained looking away.
"Discard your humanity?" I asked.
"Only when my heart embraces things like Carnage, Slaying and Bloodshed will I be able to harness the power of Murasame, the power of a demon." She frowned.
"Akame, no matter how you look or act, I'll love you." I said standing up.
"Agore!" she hugged me and shivered "Should I use it, and become swallowed up by the demon, please, I don't want to live in a way that threatens the people I care about."
"Akame…don't say that." I turned away.
"If that happens I want you to-."
"I SAID DON'T!" I yelled turning away "How…if you love me, how can you ask me to do something like that."
"But-."
"I don't care if you're terror itself." I turned around somewhat teary eyed "I never want to hurt you, not even like that!"
"I…I'm sorry." She looked down.
"Both off us, no matter who we are or how we act." I hugged her "We'll love each other forever."
