"Kill the Start!"
"Tell me just how many people have you murdered?"
From the moment he entered back into the capital It was painful. Physically and emotionally. As soon as he stepped forward his eyes flashed a glowing green as so many unfamiliar voices called out to him each one over lapping the next none of it made any sense at all he didn't know what any of them meant or what they stood for he just knew he wanted it to stop. The only thing that made sense was that...
None of it made any sense.
"you murdered your own friend are you this determined to show how terrible you really are?"
"Both The revolution and the empire have Fallen"
"I don't get you Tatsumi"
"Night raid is gone.."
"you promised you would protect her, and then you abandoned her"
"The jeager's are gone.."
"see? They cant even crawl out of that little hole they lack coordination."
"what do you have left beside me?"
"Remind me never to mess with you Tatsumi"
"enough bloodshed to fuel enough three wars ey? Lets get it to a fourth"
"What the hell happened to you… You used to be so full of life and energetic! Now you just-just a monster!"
"No I don't fight with honor, But he did and look where it got him"
"WHO GAVE YOU THIS MARK!?"
"I can only imagine what this cruel world has left you with Tatsumi…"
"She took everything from me… and she planned for me to hate her, yet I just cant hate anymore after a while you just stop caring"
"I-I-I thought you where dead…"
"you really think friendship and relying on others has kept me alive all these years?"
"they where all just weak"
"you really should thank me, look how strong you are now because of me"
"Make it stop!"
Tatsumi's eyes shot open he almost collapsed then and there in the middle of the populated road he was breathing extremely heavily gripping his chest he had tears in eyes he looked like he was in pain not the physical pain it was strange no one stopped to help him they just walked around him and he wouldn't have it any other way.
"wh-what the hell happened to me?" It was a question with honestly thousands of answers you could start with his village or you could start to surviving on his own in the wild but one thing was for sure somewhere something went wrong.
Tatsumi thought back to him self thinking in his head who the hell he was and what the hell just happened.
My name is Tatsumi this all started roughly 10ish years ago when my village was destroyed. And then Because lady luck just loves me so dam much I was forced to be an assassin I was one of the 100 kids taken by the empire and trained to be an assassin. But because of my strong will I pushed threw. Now with my new Imperial arms I wanna take out some trash in the capital and maybe locate Night raid then try to join them. But that wouldn't be an easy task. Yes that's why I'm here but what in the hell where those voices? What could they possibly mean? And why am In so much pain? Tatsumi Thought to himself
"what are you trying to tell me?" Tatsumi said gripping his chest harder then ever
"uh hey are you ok?" a feminine voice asked
Tatsumi looked up wide eyed at the source of the voice she was a woman hardly any clothing on her with golden eyes and golden hair she had a semi concerned face on her looking at the kid he was troubled that was for sure that much she could tell. Leone had to know more about this guy she just had to know who he was fighting for or what side he was on.
"ye-yea im alright." Tatsumi said getting to his feet
she analyzed the boy, he was strong, really strong It honestly scared the hell out of her, he was hiding his aura the entire time he got here but let his guard down just now when he went to his knee's. From the untrained eye he was just a normal kid with country bumpkin attire on but if you look at him with an aura you could tell he wasn't anything near ordinary he was powerful and had an Imperial Arms she could tell. But she wanted to play it safe with him.
"My name's Leone by the way"
"Tatsumi" the boy said ruffly as he started to turn away
"so let me guess you came from your village trying to make it big in the capital for your village?" Leone said with a stupid ass grin
"something like that" Tatsumi lied turning to face her again
Tatsumi had gotten really good at lying like stupidly good at it. it was basically his job his whole Imperial arms was based around lies.
"well I can help you. But first you have to treat me to lunch!" Leone said happily it was then he noticed it. Her belt he only need to look at it for a second but after he did he understood and his interest in this girl went up tenfold.
now is my chance to get info on Night Raid.
"Sure."
Now I can see what the hell this guys deal is.
Local Tavern
"so what the hell where you doing on the ground?"
Tatsumi looked at his glass as if he was contemplating existence itself.
"I-I dont know I guess I just missed home"
"I see that a lot round here." She was baffled by this person the way he talked nothing worth a second look it reminded her a lot of Akame, But he smiled way more then she ever did but not in a warm nice way but more in a 'I am in charge and I know it' kind of way.
"so how do I get it into the army Leone?" the green eyed boy asked
"well I'm gonna be honest. Your gonna need a lot of money" Leone said before taking a drink of whiskey
Tatsumi took a drink out of his glass before looking Leone in her eyes
"yea I have that" he said plopping a bag of money on the table
Leone's eyes widened in surprise with the amount of money in that bag she grabbed it and started moving it towards her when she was stopped by Tatsumi who had a hand on the bag.
"ah how about we talk some more first" He said with a serious voice
"sure. I'll start Why do you wanna join the army?"
"I don't" he said in the most blunt matter
ok now Leone was REALLY confused everything they talked about up until this point was about joining the Imperial Guard
"wait what?" she said
"if I were to ever join the Imperial Guard it would be to infiltrate the Imperial Guard"
"wait whoa hold up now don't catch any of the guards hear you saying that. I get that your new to the capital well I might as well bring you up to date listen. "Leone said before explaining everything going around in the capital right now in a hushed tone except it was unneeded because Tatsumi already knew all of this
"Then theirs this rouge group of assassins called Night Raid" Leone said before she could continue talking Tatsumi put his hand in the air as if to tell her to stop talking so he can speak
"I know all there is to know about Night Raid" Tatsumi said
Leone just smiled "Oh do you now?"
"Yup. And the crazy thing about it is I actually admire them"
Leone's smile turned into a grin She remained silent to let him finish
"I love everything they do and I agree with how they do things the only way to truly get rid of the filth of the empire is by wiping it all clean"
"oh really now. Careful they have eyes and ears everywhere if you say that to the wrong person Night Raid might snatch you."
Tatsumi took another drink from his glass getting ready to finally break the Ice
"why do you think im talking to you." he said with a very sudden serious voice
Leone's smile Instantly faded her cover was blown someone found out who she was. she looked around to make sure that no one had heard what he just said
"Not. Here" she said before putting a few coins on that table and grabbing him by the arm taking him to the alleyway out back. The walk to the alleyway seemed like a pretty long journey for Tatsumi even though it was about thirty seconds. She turned around with a new sense of purpose in her eyes
"how did you know!? She said to him
"that belt." Tatsumi said pointing to it "I have a gift for detecting Imperial Arms"
"so what if it is an Imperial arms how do you know I am with night raid?"
"well you obviously weren't with the Empire that's for sure" he said with a static expression
"so your trying to join us is that it?"
"yes your exactly right but I wanna see what you can do first before I decide to join you guys"
"well you don't have a choice since you know my face so your coming with me"
"Oh I wouldn't do that if I were you"
Leone reached for him only for her hand to go right through him. She was even more confused when he disappeared out of thin air. a hand touched her shoulder she jumped a little bit. she turned around to see Tatsumi right there behind her.
"is that your imperial arms the Ability to disappear?"
"yes just one of the many abilities it has" he said with a smile
"well like I said your coming with me." she said grabbing his arm for real this time. he held out his sword Leone almost took it as a sign of aggression until she realized it was sheathed.
"I cant be armed if your taking me to your base now can I?" he said with a nice smile
"i guess you cant" she said after hesitantly taking his blade
"well anyway lets go kid" she said
Tatsumi smiled before following Leone through a crowd of people her hand never left his arm. Tatsumi was very happy to be going to Night Raid. He had been studying Night Raid for so dam long after all there assassination he would be happy to join but he didn't forget his main reason to join was to see someone again of course that certain person wouldn't recognize him, the last time they saw each other was years ago and hes done a lot of killing and changing in those years.
I hope you remember the promise I made to you.. Akame
New Story I'm writing with a stronger Tatsumi Really exited for the next chapter were hes gonna meet all of the members of Night Raid.
