*Sorry for the late release, Depression has been hitting hard lately*

After fishing and eating lunch with Akame, Shinku was sitting on a log watching the ocean with her. He looks up and wonders how Kurome is doing, while he was absorbed in thought Akame woke him up "Shinku, don't sleep here, don't you want to enjoy this moment with me?" she asked, Shinku nods and rests his shoulders "Yes Mother". He looks around for a little bit and asks "Mother, are you friends with these people?" then she responds "Yes Shinku, they are all my friends" then she smiles and watches the waves. Shinku thinks about something then speaks "this is an Assassin group right, but…I'm not sure if I'm really an Assassin", Akame looks at him and holds his arm "Well mostly, but even if your not an Assassin, you are the son of a Master Assassin, and that is something to be proud of". She pets him and looks at the ocean again "You may not be an Assassin, but you are someone people shouldn't mess with" she said with a big smile, Shinku looks up and crosses his fingers, he looks at the sunset and stretches a little, Akame gets up and looks "Well it's time to go back".

1 Hour later Shinku was training outside and he heard the door open, he noticed it was Leone again, she has been appearing a lot lately and Shinku wondered why. He sheathes his sword and looks back to see her already next to him, she puts her hands on her hips and tilts her head smiling "Hey Shinku, I see your training late at night, and im wondering why?", he looks a little to the left and responds "I just like to train more, the more training the better eh", Leone looks at him and puts her finger on his Chestplate "You see….i have been admiring your skills so far, and I can't wait to see you in battle" she says, Shinku looks around without moving his head and replies with "Yeah, im sure you will like it..". she touches his cheek and tilts her head again "Why not we get to know each other more, and after your first Night Raid mission I can give you a…Surprise gift", Shinku was aware of the sudden pause before she said surprise then he squinted "Oh, alright". Leone rubbed his cheek and walked back inside the base, Shinku scratches his head and continues his training.

The next day he walked inside the kitchen and noticed Tatsumi was back, he remembered that he was on a mission and just sat down anyways. 'Breakfast is here" Akame said while walking to the table giving everyone their plates, she sat down and looks at Shinku "I heard the boss is going to give you your first Night Raid mission" she said with a smile, "That's good" Shinku says while eating. Akame finishes her food less than a minute and touches his shoulder "Don't worry, I will make sure Im your partner for most missions ok" then walks away, Shinku continues to eat and looks up a little, a while later Everyone was in the main hall waiting for their missions, Najenda sits on her chair and looks at everyone "Alright, most people are fine, but some of you will be on missions, Tatsumi your with Mine", Shinku crosses his arms and waits for his mission, then Najenda looks at him "And Shinku…, your with Leone". Leone sneaks behind him and has her chest on his left arm and gibes him a little hug "Looks like your with me hehe", Shinku looks around and crosses his arms, Akame notices and is a little cautious, Najenda explains the missions "Tats and Mine, you will be clearing out a Emperial base so we can use it later, Shinku and Leone, you will be Assassinating an Importamt General, its not Esdeath but he is still strong", Shinku grins "Alright, lets do it".
