I will first begin with the Elite 8 introducing their selves to each other and then begin research with how Akame's life was, but I don't have a lot of time before school starts again I only have some days left probably a week I will try to find time to write and research.

Chapter 3: Introductions.

Dorms.

Tatsumi looked around the dorm where the elite 8 was going to sleep it was surprisingly clean and normal guess that the empire wants it future assassins to have decent needs, he knew that it would take a lot to convince the others to see that the empire sees them nothing then tools to kill the people who rebel or don't agree with the empire nothing more but when they rise through the ranks they would certainly called for more important battles then destroying rebel outposts.

"At least we can sleep in a normal bed." said Tatsumi to himself as he didn't notice a girl walking up to him, she tapped his shoulder making him almost jump in surprise but held it in and turned around and saw a girl a few inches shorter then him with light blond hair and blue eyes and pale skin looking at him with curious eyes that said that they were interested in him.

"Hello, my name is Cornelia and what's yours?" she asked not noticing that she was quite close in his personal space.

"The name is Tatsuya Arashi don't you have a surname?" asked Tatsumi as he wondered why no one here had a surname.

"I don't have a surname." she replied a bit sad making Tatsumi feel guilty and made a mental note that he won't ask anyone's surname.

"Sorry, that was rude of me Cornelia." he apologized making her smile and said that it was fine.

They both talked for a while where they came from and which country too and the reason why they were sold to the empire, Cornelia because of the lack of money but didn't care because there was actually no one that cared for her in the village and that was the reason why she was sad because no one cared about her and broke down in tears, Tatsumi was mad and hugged her making her blush since she hasn't received such affection a long time before her parents died and took care of her and enjoyed it and talked further.

"So Tatsuya why were you sold?" she asked with half closed eyes and a smile.

"I was actually found and they thought that I was one of the sold children but I can't object if I do they go to my village and burn it down and still take me away." Tatsumi said as he was stroking Cornelia's head who didn't mind one bit.

"What! But they can't do that! People will die!" she said with wide eyes, as Tatsumi grimly began to explain everything that the empire didn't care and was the cause of the village problems and that the nobles enjoyed torturing people just for the fun of it.

Outside.

They both walked outside to meet the others of the elite 8 they met a boy with black hair and green eyes named Green who was a calm person, next Tatsumi introduced Akame and Kurome to Cornelia who began talking with them and instantly liked each other, next they met a boy with white hair and yellow eyes named Najasho who was seemingly a bit stern but was a nice person, next they met a girl with long auburn hair that was tied in a ponytail and had green eyes who was quite a cheerful person but also a bit dimwitted and clumsy as she tripped over a small rock, she kind of reminded Tatsumi of Sheele and thought they would become good friends.

And finally the last one was also a girl with amber eyes and short brown hair named Tsukushi who was a kind and calm girl and was pretty cute in Tatsumi's opinion.

"Ne, Tatsu-nii when is it lunch time?" asked a innocent Kurome while Tatsumi just laughed a bit hearing the cute sounds of Kurome's stomach followed by Akame's making them both blush as Tatsumi suppressed his laugh along with Tsukushi who just giggled at the cute sounds produced by the girls stomachs.

"I will ask they said we could do whatever we want for now and if we try to escape they will kill us so were only limited to the forest because at the end of the forest are guards." explained Tatsumi as they nodded and went over to Gozuki and asked what time lunch would occur, he replied that it over 3 hours lunch will be served.

"Do you mind if I hunt for something?" asked Tatsumi carefully not wanting to provoke the man who just laughed and replied that he would bet that he would die within and span of 2 hours and Tatsumi took the bet.

"So what do you have for exchange kid?" he asked seemingly amused.

"This gem." Tatsumi said as he showed a sapphire which made him grin. Gozuki gave him permission to hunt down some danger beasts and Tatsumi informed them when it was lunch time and that he would hunt some food for them.

"Be careful Tatsuya." said Akame who was worried.

"Don't you dare die on us Tatsu-nii!" demanded Kurome who pouted at him making him chuckle.

1 hour later.

True to his word Tatsumi returned with 4 bull like danger beasts only they were bigger and had more horns but were all dead, the guards however were scared of him as they see a 6 year old kid drag 4 A-class danger beasts with ease and wondered what he planned to do with it. Gozuki was not happy that he lost his money but complied nonetheless and gave him his money but not all off it they agreed to a specific amount.

"Tatsu-nii!" screamed a happy Kurome and tackled him in a hug followed by Akame who knocked him on his ass making him laugh as the other members were rather focused on the dead bulls and then they looked at Tatsumi a bit suspiciously and wondered how he killed the 4 A-class danger beasts.

"If you want to know I will explain, these danger beasts are powerful but not smart they are the same as regular bulls striking head on and all I had to do was placing a few giant wooden spikes on some trees and sidestep." he then went over to the beasts and slurred them away without much effort towards a private place and began to prepare some food.

"Okay lets see! I have some wild herbs, vegetables, wild flower and berrie-?" Tatsumi wanted to say berries but they were pretty much gone and looked at Kurome who was munching on something and innocently looked another direction. "Never mind the berries, I also need some wood to start a fire can you guys help me out a bit?" Tatsumi asked as he began to skinning the skin of one of the danger beasts.

Later the member of the elite 8 were enjoying a meal made by Tatsumi it was a lot of baked meat coated with some light sauce and herbs along with plenty of vegetables, fruit, bread and fish and the other members were shocked at the humongous appetite of the 2 girls as they saw them devour within a half an hour 2 of the 4 bulls but they could not stop eating too it was delicious. Tatsumi who already ate was making some blueberry and strawberry pie as dessert as well some drinks that he now served.

"Hey do you mind if I join?" asked Gozuki who apparently smelled the food and was drooling, Tatsumi nodded and mentioned him over to sit down with him and gave him a bowl full with meat and some fish he figured out that Gozuki wouldn't eat the vegetables who was now devouring the meat as a wild beast.

"This *munch* is really *munch* delicious!" he said between chewing.

"Thanks for the complement." said Tatsumi as he sliced the pie into pieces and gave everyone a piece or in the gluttonous girls case a whole pie.

"Who taught you how to cook?" asked a interested Najasho who liked the pie, it was not too sweet and the natural and wild taste of the fruit was still present, and on top of that he didn't add anything that would increase the calories.

"Yes this is delicious!" exclaimed Cornelia who took another bite of her strawberry pie with some whipped cream that Tatsuya has made with no sugars added just milk that was now a soft cream.

Green and Tsukushi wanted to know too but decided to empty their mouths first before they began to talk.

"I learned by myself and some of my mother and father but there now dead." he lied in fact he never knew them at all, he was actually told that he wasn't from the village at all but from a village that was destroyed by bandits, in the previous chapter it was told they died due to a danger beast but in fact he was from another village as he didn't look like anyone of the village. So Tatsumi was doomed to be a orphan but he couldn't be sad over it because he never knew them to be sad about their deaths, the others felt sorry about asking even Gozuki felt a bit bad and apologized.

"No need to apologize, I didn't know them at all so I can't be sad about people who I didn't know even if they were my family." replied Tatsumi cheerfully as he resumed to baking again and wanted to prepare fried fish...that was devoured before it was fried.

"Akame! At least let me fry the fish before you eat it! It was only seasoned!" yelled Tatsum with shark teeth making the others laugh while Akame just munched the fish away but little did she know that Tatsumi was happy to see one of her old habits that he liked about her. "Jeez! But I still have the fruitcake that is now don-!" and now Kurome had snatched the food this time and Akame scolded her for it making her retort back that she also did it.

Gozuki was looking carefully and saw no false play and that it was a real quarrel and that they sometimes cared for each other out of instinct and asked for a second portion. "Hey! Tatsuya! Give me another bowl of meat!"

"Coming right up!" as he took his empty bowl filling it with meat and fish making some of the girls frown as the man only seemed to eat meat and fish and not any vegetables and the weirder thing was that they didn't see Tatsumi eat anything.

"Everything is going as planned, Akame and Kurome are together, Gozuki doesn't suspect a thing and the last thing I need to do is ensuring the safety of the other members." thought Tatsumi as he gripped the silver cilinder in his right hand hand.

8 years later.

Akame was napping on a flat boulder with her shingu at her side named Kiriichimonji the sword who's cuts never heal and there was a landtiger slowly crawling towards her and at the last moment it dived towards Akame...who sliced its head through having been trained all her life gave her amazing abilities.

"Its meat will be used for food and the skin will sell good!" she said in a happy voice while Kurome arrived and also carried a land tiger and greeted her sister who ran up to her and hugged her, they weren't allowed to show affection in front of Gozuki as Tatsuya told them that if they relied on each other too much they would be separated which made them shocked.

"Good work you 2." said Najasho in a monotone voice. "You 2 always do better then the idiot over here." as he looked down at a river where Poney was waiting for something and unfortunately she heard him.

"Hey act more deliciously!" he ordered to Poney

"And how am I supposed to do that?!" shouted Poney who was still dim-witted but even she knew that trying to act more deliciously in front of danger beast was ridiculous, but before she could rant further a giant alligator appeared behind her and tried to eat her but got kicked hard under its mouth killing it in the process.

The danger beast landed near Najasho who wasn't faced by the impact as he just continued to read his book.

"There you have it! This one was the biggest so far! With this Tatsuya will praise me!" Najasho was silently agreeing with her they became good friends after they talked at first Tatsuya seemed like Tsukushi but was surprised that he had also a serious and smart side when they were talking, he smiled and closed his book and began to walk away. "Were done her, so get the danger beast."

"Wait! Why do I have to carry it? You didn't hunt anything and were reading your book all the time!"

"You should have noticed it earlier." he replied.

Mountains.

Green was looking around and found a small crystal and a fossil and picked them up and put them in his jacket. "These will do nicely in my collection." Green mused to himself as he looked up and saw 2 girls carrying baskets filled with herbs walked towards him.

"Hey Green!" greeted Tsukushi cheerfully.

"Mining again?" commented Cornelia.

Green nodded and looked at the baskets they were carrying and picked one out and stared at it. "Searching for herbs, huh? Something you 2 would do."

"Yeah! Because there is always some leftover!" replied Tsukushi.

"If we left you guys alone then all you would eat it meat and fish." said Cornelia with a frown as she saw the boys never eat much vegetables with the exception of Tatsuya who at least ate his vegetables and even scold the other boys who didn't eat their vegetables. "That would probably happen."

"Don't let out Akame and Kurome those 2 have a unhealthy diet and they don't gain any weight!" making the girls nod that they agreed that those 2 always had a bad diet and yet they didn't gain any weight or aches.

Akame and Kurome sneezed as they felt that someone was talking bad about them.

Green noticed the necklace of Cornelia. "Still wearing the necklace Cornelia?" said Green.

"Yeah, so what?"

"You always wear it since the day you got it."

"And is there a problem with it?"

"You must like it a lot since it is imbedded with a rare crystal."

"Or you like the person who made it and gave it to you~" said Tsukushi who wriggled her eyebrows in suggestion while her eyes looked amused while Cornelia just blushed at the comment and blushed harder as Green laughed too.

*BOOM!*

They all heard a loud sound and saw in the distance a dragon fighting a person who wasn't recognizable due to the shadows of the mountains as they trading kicks and blows to each other and weren't backing down. The dragon blew fire towards the person who dodged it by jumping over it and aimed a kick to the head of the danger beast who blocked it with its arm and tried to grab him but the person quickly jumped away and jumped on the side of a stone pillar to deliver another kick this time aimed at it leg hitting and stopped as well as the dragon who seemed to be happy.

"Hey guys! How have you been doing?" asked Tatsuya as he walked towards them followed by the silver colored dragon with red eyes carrying their supplies that they caught shocking the others a bit.

"Tatsuya! Why is the dragon carrying our supplies?!" asked a shocked/curious Tsukushi who thought the dragon was beautiful.

"This little guy? I found him a month ago and raised it secretly, it now thinks me as a brother and don't worry it only eats danger beast meat." Tatsuya replied as he stroked the dragon who enjoyed it.

"How old is it?" asked Green.

"I think about 6 years it is in their nature to train and fight at early age, and I also found this puppy!" as Tatsuya climbed on the back of the dragon and tilted a small wriggling ball of fur revealing a small puppy who was barely 3 years old making the girls squeal at the cute pup.

"Wif!" barked the puppy wolf as it licked the cheek of Tatsuya who didn't mind and gave it to the 2 ecstatic girls who hugged the pup who didn't mind and licked them.

"Tatsuya! You should have told us this!" said Tsukushi who pouted at him, making him laugha bit as Cora joined her, he named her so as everyone else did it too but sometimes they would use her normal name then her nickname.

"Okay, my bad, tell you what I let you raise this Savage wolf and this baby Owl hawk." Tatsuya said as he showed a baby Owl hawk that was the combination of a owl and hawk obviously. The bird had the appearance of a hawk and some features of a owl, and was as big as a adult chicken, the girls squealed as they took the baby Owl hawk out of his arms and began petting it, the baby wolf wanted attention too and barked again making Tsukushi focus on her.

"You just know what to do, Tatsuya." commented green who went over to the baby Owl hawk and petted it too. Tatsuya gave a small smile as he looked at the happy scene where they cuddled the danger beasts, but then his dragon tackled him and began snuggle his head against him also wanting attention.

Dorms.

"You all have done well, you have now learned the society skills that you need when your in need of money." said Gozuki who held a pouch with money in his right hand.

"These villages are full with nice people!" said Poney as she took place in her seat. "Yeah! They even gave us more then we asked for!" added Tsukushi happily as she took a seat as well.

"Those villages will someday disappear because people who want to start a war will drag them with them." this made them all silent. "You have all done well following my training regime and became invaluable instruments and will receive your first mission soon, so prepare yourselves."

"Yes sir!"

"Especially you Tatsuya, you have been doing my training regime without any sweat or complaining." said Gozuki while the others focused their attention on him, said boy was just shrugging as if it was no big deal at all to him. "And you tamed a AAA-class danger beast and another 2 A-class danger beast who both will grow up more powerful then the normal wild danger beast and I see your doing a great job at it."

"They will become more powerful, danger beast are more powerful if trained by humans." replied Tatsuya who was looking out the window. He helped them training and were way stronger then they were before and it ensured their safety more and more but he couldn't relax until he was sure that they were in their most excellent form. "This is where it starts, but Akame and the others need to see what the danger of the job is and this will become more painful for me then them."

I finally found a site where I could read the manga, why I didn't find it earlier is because my computer sometimes blacks out and needs to restart and my big sis got mad and blamed me for it so I will soon write more chapters as soon as possible.
