Hello everyone I have a quick announcement I will skip some parts of the manga but review me if you want the whole past of Akame written and also I'm working on another set of stories that I made up and I hope you will like them once I post them.

Q: Will Tatsumi still be able to use the armor?

A: Yes, he will but not yet, he will until the Night raid arc.

Q: Will Tatsumi change Esdeath?

A: I'm kind of hesitating because if she isn't working for them empire then the revolutionary army would have it too easy , so I think not and even if the whole elite 8 joins I will add Oc's in it since changing the past causes more changes so it is possible that more people will be involved.

Q: Which girls are going to be in the harem?

A: You will see it in the next chapter, but the ones that aren't going to be in the harem is Kurome and Poney.

Q: Will Kurome and Akame become stronger or weaker?

A: They will become stronger just like the elite 8 but will have more opponents. Otherwise Night raid is to overpowered.

Also I like to thank Dragunking1 for filling me out that I can search for the manga and read it for free, that was quite stupid of me.

So enough talking and lets get to the story.

Chapter 4: First kills.

Village.

Akame was nearby a village delivering baskets filled with fish to a butcher named Martha who was happy to see the girl. "Thank you Akame for the fish!"

"It was nothing." she dismissed.

"Here is your payment, I even gave you a coin extra!" as she handed the pouch filled with money to the girl. Akame then began to drool as she thought of catching more fish and handing over them to Tatsuya who would welcome her with a table filled with plates of grilled fish and meat with open arms and his warm smile. "Tatsuya~" she mused to herself but however this made Martha gain a smirk as she saw that the girl in front of her was in love.

"Hey Akame? Since your a girl why don't you put a hairpin on?" she suggested making Akame confused. "But a hairpin is nothing compared to the amount of grilled fish Tatsuya will prepare for me!" this made Martha sweat-drop as she thought that the girl became weirder. She then had an idea and quickly dragged Akame with her who was interrupted from her daydream and carried her to the upper rooms.

"Its perfect!" squealed Martha as Akame was wearing a beautiful dress that fitted her perfectly while Akame was confused why she gave her the dress all out of the blue. "Why did you give me this dress?" she asked as she looked herself into a mirror while Martha just smiled. "It was mine when I was younger but now I give it to you Akame! Your boyfriend will like this!"

Akame blushed at her mother like figure was mistaking her that she had a boyfriend. "N-No T-Tatsuya is a friend." she denied but Martha could see that she was lying and was giggling signaling Akame that she didn't believe that she saw Tatsuya as a friend and comrade.

"Oh! And before I forget how is Kurome?" she asked.

"She's fine though she was sad that she couldn't come with me to see you." she replied as she remembered the sullen expression of her little sister. "We both see you as our mother figure and we don't remember our mother good though."

Martha widened her eyes a bit and felt those 2 as real daughters helping her out, talking with her and even giving some extra's for her without asking for more money, she felt conflicted that she needed to kill them both when she had the chance.

Unknown location.

Tatsuya was waiting for Akame to arrive along with Silver his dragon who he named after his color, Akame saw Tatsuya and smiled as she saw that he was waiting for her. "Hey Akame! How was your job?" asked Tatsuya with a smile.

"It went well and I got some extra money." she replied smiling as well and greeted Silver who greeted or roared back. "So have you been waiting long?" she asked making Tatsuya shake his head answering that he wasn't waiting long at all making the girl smile.

"Nice dress! Its really looks nice on you. Where did you get it?" asked Tatsuya.

"I got it from Martha she gave it to me as a gift." she replied blushing a bit at the compliment.

"Oh! I have a present for you!" said Tatsuya as he climbed on the back of Silver who didn't stand up knowing his friend wasn't ordering him to fly but just grabbing something, Silver understood the human language and could answer back if you looked in his eyes then somehow you see him answering back, but was also curious since he was a danger beast he didn't understand humans sometimes and asked them why they sometimes acted weird towards each other.

"Here is it!" said Tatsuya happy as he hopped off the back of Silver and carried a wooden box underneath his left arm and opened it and showed it to Akame who looked in the box, in the box contained a beautiful black bracelet decorated with golden lines on the sides and above it and a ruby placed in the middle in the form of a rave, it was seemingly very carefully made as the rave also had a eye carved out..

"I-Is this f-for me Tatsuya?!" she asked with wide eyes and Tatsuya nodded making her scream happy and hugged him tightly while he returned the hug back, they stood for a while like that until Akame broke the hug and equipped the bracelet and saw that it was real gold and a real ruby and the black steel was black platina.

"Happy early birthday Akame!" said Tatsuya as he saw the happy face of Akame. "Now lets go back I will prepare a feast for you!"

House.

After Akame ate her fill as well as Kurome who also gave her a present a red choker decorated with a small black rave in the middle made of black platina. Gozuki walked down from the stairs and announced that he was going to give them their missions and looked in the corner of his eyes at Tatsuya who just pretended that he didn't catch the gaze.

"Everyone! You will get your first missions and you know what that means." he said with a smirk.

Everyone had different thoughts they didn't like the empire much as they saw Tatsuya show them many things what the empire did so they pretended to be excited, they were hesitating and were going to kill real people and would see if they were bad as Gozuki told them.

"Were going to kill real people!"

"This time it isn't danger beasts."

"I must see if it is true!"

"I will still need to kill them even if its true."

"I..I need to be strong and if it is true then I will later defect."

"From what I've seen its the empire's fault our parents were killed."

"Must not fail! If I do then I'm never be able to see the rest anymore!"

"The time has come, huh?"

Gozuki handled them each a envelop with a golden seal on it each with a specific target. "Each of you has a specific target that you need to kill, he or she is either afflicted with the revolutionary army or who opposes us." he said as they looked at the white envelop in their hands. "And you don't need to worry, your all equipped with your 'Shingu'"

"Shi-Shingu?" said Tsukushi confused at the word while Tatsuya eyed his Shingu but it wasn't a Shingu it was a teigu the [Power surge: Balzac] the teigu that shot powerful beams and was a light sword at the same time but of course he didn't tell them he didn't know what most of the Shingus were he only knew all the teigus and that he was a artificial dragon and he saved the surprise for later.

Gozuki then began to explain what the Shingus were, apparently they were weapons designed to surpass the teigus by the emperor of 400 years ago, it failed since they gave the user a great backlash and their power nearly didn't reach them the emperor was so ashamed that he locked them up.

"Do you understand that these treasures are given to you because your the best of the best, so take pride in your work and training." he said, Tsukushi asked if he wielded a Shingu but replied that he wielded a teigu and showed them a sword, this however made Tatsuya narrow his eyes as he saw that it was [One-cut killer: Murasame] the teigu that Akame used when she joined Night raid. "If any of you fail your mission you are not my children, this job brings happiness to the people of the villages." he said in a sick tone that made them shiver with the exception of Tatsuya who narrowed his eyes.

"What about a time-limit?" asked Cornelia.

"You have until tomorrow and bring their heads with you and don't feel afraid to chop them up into pieces!" this made Tatsuya disgusted at the father figure of the elite 8 even Kurome knew that a father shouldn't be like this.

"All of them have a target that it a criminal that was already sentenced to death but for Tatsuya I made a exception of killing a certain man." he thought evilly wanting to mold the boy into a heartless killer but little did they know that the elite 8 saw him staring at Tatsuya who pretended to get his stuff ready for his assignment and was fake checking every gear he needed since his target was quite far away.

They all became a bit worried what he would return like if he completed his assignment.

Unknown location.

Cornelia was walking towards a river where a man was sitting apparently fishing for fish, once she confirmed her target she prepared herself to kill the man and walked towards him.

"Stay away from me you empire scum!" this made her surprise a bit but didn't show it that he knew that she was from the empire. "You came here to kill me? Huh! WELL NOW I HAVE THE CHANCE TO AVENGE MY FAMILY THAT WAS KILLED BY THEM!" he shouted in rage as he charged forwards with his sword. Cornelia backed her right arm and delivered a powerful punch that send the man flying.

This was the Shingu named [King pulverization] a gauntlet that posses a massive arm strength given to the user however if used incorrectly the user may sustain damage, the man didn't seem to give up even if he had a 3 broken ribs was it that bad what they did to his family?

"I WON'T BACK DOWN! YOU EMPIRE SCUM HAVE TAKEN MY WIFE'S LIFE! AND ALSO THAT OF MY SON! I WILL KILL YOU!" he shouted as he charged forwards again a bit slower due to the broken rib he got. Cornelia felt bad and saw that the man was out of the reach to be saved and punched him again making him gasp as he fell down. "T-Tell me d-do you t-think what y-your doing is r-right?" he asked in a much softer and calmer tone.

"My f-family was k-killed just because we a-accidently bumped a-against a n-noble! We a-always paid o-our taxes and I j-just managed to e-escape but not b-before I saw m-my family tortured by t-the nobles." and he stopped as his eyes rolled back signaling he was dead. Cornelia felt the hatred of the man towards the empire and detected no lies in his voice, she took of her clothes and washed herself clean from all the blood that stained her but no matter what she could never wash those words of the man.

"Tatsuya was right, this man was not lying." she said as she touched her necklace that she always wore.

Forest.

A muscled guy was walking through the forest and didn't know he was about to be killed by Green who was waiting for him to fall in the trap he made as he saw that the guy was to powerful for him in a one on one match.

"ARRRGLH!" screamed the guy out as a rope wrapped around his neck and pulled him upwards strangling him as he died from the lack of air this Shingu was called [Sidewinder] a Shingu that moved at the will of the user however due to its unique way of moving it was hard for the user.

"Sorry, I had to make it easy because I didn't have the guts to face you head on." said Green to the dead man who happend to be a normal criminal not someone who had any hatred towards the empire save for the sentence he got.

He was about to leave until he saw a small notebook and picked it up and began to read it. "Dear lord, what has this guy gone through?" he whispered to himself.

City.

2 men were walking in a narrow side street were no one was and were actually patrolling the city for escape routes as they were members that blew up military offices in night when they had the chance to free the prisoners that were falsely accused.

"Hey look there! Its a kid?"

"Don't let your guard down."

Poney rushed to the 2 men and quickly kicked one of them against the wall killing him instantly while the other one looked shocked at the inhuman speed of the girl who wielded the Shingu called [Yocto bottoms] it increased the speed of the user greatly but it doesn't increase the strength of the user so its important that they train.

"Y-You bitch! Another whore working for the so called empire where dreams come true!" he took a knife out and began to swing it at her, Poney dodged all the attacks easily as she wanted to confirm the truth.

"You fuckers don't know the real truth about this hell hole! My friends were for me the whole time and our parent were killed before we knew them! AND NOW THERE CAPTURED BECAUSE THE NOBLES DIDN'T LIKE THEM! EVEN IF WE DID NOTHING AGAINST THEM!" he shouted as he was swinging his knife like a madman as Poney looked in his eyes who were filled with tears and emotions like regret, sadness and sorrow, she quickly put him out of his misery by kicking his head off.

Mountains.

Najasho was standing before gang who looked at him madly as Najasho looked at them coldly and sighed if it was true he just needed to taunt them.

"Its empire scum!"

"Then lets kill him!"

"We can finally get revenge for out little sisters!" they all charged and began attacking Najasho who just activated his Shingu called [Water dragon sword] it increased the strength of the user for a whole 3 minutes before the user becomes too tired. Najasho dodged a strike from the left and grabbed the wrist of the man and sliced his head of and quickly kicked another one who tried attacking him from the side and stabbed him in the chest and then looked at the last one and sliced him death too but was still able to talk.

"You know our little sisters were everything to us we cared for them more then anything in the world but then a noble took them with him and tortured, raped and broke their minds so we had no choice then to kill them ourselves." said the man who spoke in a soft tone loud enough for Najasho to hear it who eyes turned grim as the man died.

"Ugh! We have been played around weren't we?" he asked to no one.

Cave.

Kurome was walking in a cave that was a hideout for a girl that she was assigned to kill, she was walking carefully and saw a fire in the distance and was looking out that she didn't walk on anything that would warn the girl from knowing that she was here.

"I need to wait here just for tomorrow and then I get my freedom!" said the girl that was about to be killed but then suddenly frowned as she looked at the fire. "I just wish my family could make it, what's the point of living if you have nothing to live for."

She felt bad for killing the girl and shook her head and knew if she didn't return with the head of the girl she would be kicked out and went in for the kill, the girl just stared at her not even trying to defend herself and just spoke. "Your here to kill me? If you are then do it already, I have nothing to live for my parents, my big brother and sister died as they refused to sell me to a noble who eyed me and protected me so that I could escape from their clutches."

Kurome stood still and looked at her with wide eyes as the girl didn't make any attempt to escape. "Is it true? About the empire?" she asked carefully.

"Yes it is they make it hard for people that they need to sell their children to the empire to live and most do it because if they refused they would kill them, so they had no choice then to sell them, they can only hope that their children can survive while the children are fed up with lies that what they are doing is helping the village." she answered and then looked at her weapon.

"Kill me, you need to and I don't have anything to live for but if you find the change in your heart then resign from the empire." as she took the blade of Kurome and stabbed herself in the chest killing her as Kurome watched the girl fall down dead.

Kurome was tearing up a bit and was imagining Tatsuya and Akame die from that too and looked at her Shingu that was also a sword called [Air pressure Delrania] a Shingu that boosted the sword strikes of the user however the user may suffer either from motion sickness or needs to be prepared to withstand the throw-back the Shingu gives and in her case it was the second one.

"I didn't know there was a feeling worse then motion sickness." said Kurome dejected.

Village.

Akame was gritting her teeth she was assigned to kill the niece of Martha her mother figure and felt conflicted if she should do it or not, she was lucky that she didn't knew her niece that well and was also relieved that she didn't have to kill Martha but still had her doubts.

She stood behind the house where the niece of Martha was living and saw no light signaling that she was sleeping and not awake at all, she didn't have to worry that anyone would hear it since the house was far away from the village not a smart idea. She quickly climbed in the house and killed the niece of Martha.

"I-I'm sorry Martha." said Akame with some tears.

Unknown location.

Tsukushi was hiding in between some river reed as her target was a old man who already knew she was here.

"Come on out! I know your there!" shouted the old man startling Tsukushi as she fell down on her butt and pushed away some river reed revealing herself to him, the man eyed her and thought she has a nice body and also mentally groaned why a cute girl like Tsukushi could become a ruthless killer.

"Why don't you sit down so we can talk?" he suggested but Tsukushi's reply was shooting a bullet towards the old man who dodged it by diving into the undeep river and quickly stood up and charged at her but before he could strike the bullet flew back and tore through his head. This was her Shingu Prometheus a dual gun type weapon from where the bullets always hits its target but the downside is that each gun has a maximum of 6 bullets to shoot anymore will just miss.

"Y-You will o-one day f-fall!" he said with a scary face making Tsukushi scared. She stood up and checked if he had anything in his pockets and what she found was a golden watch with a letter.

Happy birthday! Kasumi! I may not be able to go visit you but at least I have a present for you!

"This is just too much." she said with a dark look.

Mountain east side.

Tatsumi predicted that Akame would have a different target since he was the more promising one to become a ruthless killer and his target was to eliminate a gang that wasn't afflicted with the revolutionary army in any way just a powerful gang boss.

"This will be the first step now that I can't activate Incursio, I can't go all out so I need to rely only on Arch sabre." the teigu didn't look like much it was a simple silver cilinder with a green gem, but Arch sabre was able to shoot powerful beams and could be even modified like Pumpkin so he modified it into a lightsaber too.

"I can't fail if I do I will get kicked out so I need to get back unscratched and-!" Tatsuya then realized that he didn't need to worry as his skin was already tuff since the armor was always activated and mentally kicked himself for it. "I'm an idiot! I can't get scratched at all!"

"Oh? Really? Let me test it out!" said a man from behind trying to get Tatsuya in a headlock, only to get himself into a headlock by Tatsuya's legs and twisted it killing him instantly.

"Idiot, thought I let my guard down." mused Tatsuya as more bandits appeared all of them armed with crude looking weapons and different armor pieces made from hardened leather or iron and some capes made of expensive silk and looked at him with maniac faces.

"Might as well finish it." said Tatsuya as he activated Arch sabre into its lightsaber form, the bandits charged at him and Tatsuya counted and there were about 80 bandits with no skill just wild swinging.

1 hour later.

Tatsuya sighed he was lucky that he only needed to get the head of the gang leader who was a one and all coward that just used numbers to outnumber small groups and make it hard for them to defend their selves, it was a coward strategy and Tatsuya was taking it easy and Silver was just waiting for him to get ready to leave, Tatsuya took the head of the gang leader and wrapped it in a piece of cloth and climbed on the back of Silver who was now awake and ready to fly.

Dorms.

"All of you have done well! So eat to your heart!" praised Gozuki as they all cheered a bit stiff though and Tatsuya was just sitting drinking his juice and was staring outside the window as he knew which person would die first and that was Cornelia who got killed by her first made friend who was a part of Chelsea's team, the girl was named Teako who was the granddaughter of a famous assassin named Oreburgh who can withstand over 600 types of poison despite age the woman has beaten Najasho, Green and Guy with ease without any special weapons! Just pure skill alone!

After this they would abandon the mountains where they lived most of their lives and go to assassinate targets that posed a real treat to the empire even if it was small it would grow more and more powerful, the empire got defeated because they always underestimated the revolutionary army because they relied on the teigus, Esdeath and Budo and the rest were the army power they possessed.

Tatsuya went outside and gazed at the dark sky filled with many stars as Tatsuya just smiled at the stars to him they were millions of tiny lights that never ceased until it wasn't visible anymore at daylight, he has seen the northern and southern light both were really beautiful and couldn't choose and has seen many other things when he traveled for 180 years, deserts filled with an amazing amount of sand and filled with plants and animals that developed themselves against the heat, swamps that were really hot and made you sweaty and was filled with plants, water and a lot of eatable, dangerous and poisonous animals that Akame surely would have tried out, beautiful wide grass lands that had a dozen of bright colored flowers and sakura trees and was lucky enough to see them blooming.

"Maybe they will be interested for those places." mused Tatsuya as he now noticed the rest of the elite 8 was walking towards him.

"Tatsu-nii! At least tell us where you go!"

"You made me worried dude!"

"That wasn't nice of you Tatsuya."

"My bad, I felt coming here for a reason." replied Tatsuya as he laid down and stared at the stars, the rest was confused at what he did and just did the same as him they first felt nothing but then they felt as if they were getting tinier and were looking at the stars with amazement. "When you lay down on the ground and stare at the stars it makes a clear difference how you feel."

"Wow! I never felt like this before."

"It is weird but nice."

"I feel so tiny right now."

"This small difference made such a big change."

Tatsuya chuckled a bit as he was amused by their reactions, they have been training most of their lives and didn't have time for such things so he wanted them to have the feeling of fun and enjoyment because they deserved it.

"So how have your missions been?" asked Tatsuya as the others felt uncomfortable as they realized a bit that the empire was a bit twisted. No one spoke until Najasho began to talk.

"My targets were multiple men who wanted revenge for their little sisters who got tortured, raped and killed." he said in a grim voice making the other cringe as Akame grabbed Kurome's hand tightly who squeezed it back. Again no one spoke until Cornelia began to talk who her target was.

"My target was a man who's family got killed just because they bumped to nobles accidently." said Cornelia who felt dirty even if she cleaned herself earlier. The next one was Tsukushi.

"My target was a old man who couldn't visit his family, afraid that they would come for them too he lived in solitude now his family will never see her again." she said as she let a tear roll down her cheek.

"The target that I was assigned with was a girl that tried to escape but at the last moment she didn't have the will to live anymore and asked me to kill her." Kurome said as she gripped her big sisters hand tighter.

"The targets that I had were boys who tried to free their friends who have known each other for years and got killed just because the nobles didn't like them." said Poney as she remembered the sad faces of the boys.

"I had to kill a relative of Martha." Akame said as Kurome widened her eyes and turned her head to the side and saw the sad face of her big sister.

"I killed a man that wrote down the names of his friends who died on the way because they didn't like them because they looked suspicious." said Green as he read all the things that were written on the book.

"My target was a gang leader that wasn't afflicted with anyone, he was just a criminal." said Tatsuya he saw the look on the mans face that neither held hatred or regret just a man with selfish desires and laziness.

They all felt conflicted and were confused if they should trust Tatsuya or Gozuki they all began to think, Gozuki trained them their whole life and didn't allow them to have fun while Tatsuya looked out for them gave them gifts and also a family feeling that they never felt or experienced it was a bit weird for them but also a very nice feeling that they didn't want to go away.

"Well lets go everyone before Gozuki scolds us." said Tatsuya as he broke the silence and stood up and walked back to the dorms followed by the others. Tatsuya had the felling that they were confused if they should either trust him or Gozuki. They were really conflicted they also never knew this feeling, hesitation if they should trusts someone more then the other, it way harder then hesitating to kill someone

Dorms.

"You will soon receive your next targets within a week and after some time we will leave this place and get appointed to another location to live and assassinate targets." said Gozuki who then yawned and said that he was going to hit the hay and wished them all good night.

Everyone went to their own room as they believed that they weren't going to get a good night sleep when they saw the hatred, regret, sorrow and revenge. Tatsuya was a bit tired from worrying about the others since he joined in the time line surely would change that meant Akame got a different target now that he was the strongest of the elite 8 and Guy would be the one that was on the top of Kurome's squad.

"I need to be careful, one mistake and my plan will be destroyed and all the hard work would be for nothing and Akame will feel the pain again." said Tatsuya to himself as he promised this time he would make sure she would suffer less.

And there you have it, I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter leave a review if you have a question. I will begin soon on the next chapter as I can I have only a few days.
