AU: Greetings, My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morio- WAIT A MINUTE!
Ehem, sorry about that, I've been itching to do a jojo reference so i had to let one out lol.
Anywaysss, after a long time of thinking if Chelsea and Akame will share Tatsumi, I've come to a conclusion.I'm sorry but I'll keep this as Akame X Tatsumi only, BUUUT, i COULD make another story, a one shot, for Tatsumi and Chelsea in the future, soo yea watch out for that.Welp, that's all i have to say and again, stay safe out there folks! Now on with the chapter!
Akame's POV
Boss looked surprised by my answer.
"Oh? Well if you put it that way, then this is the opposite of being rushed." Boss said and smiled. "If you can be this patient to able to wait for someone for ten years and still be inlove with him... Tatsumi is one lucky man to have you, Akame."
I smiled and shook my head in response. "No... I don't think it has anything to do with luck."
Tatsumi's POV
After answering Leo-nee-chan's question, she seemed to be surprised.
"Oh~? The way you said it looked like you were really talking from your heart, i guess our Akame is in good hands after all." Leo-nee-chan said causing me to smile.
"You bet she is Leo-nee-chan!" I said with confidence.
"Hehe, you're really confident, well I'm not going to say anything like "Hurt her or I'll kill you." Its immature, everyone is bound to be hurt at some point."
I was caught off guard, I didn't expect Leo-nee-chan to be this mature, she likes to drink, tease and sometimes buries my head in her chest which got Leyasu and Lubbock annoyed and jealous, on the other hand, I don't feel comfortable at all.
"Wow Leo-nee-chan, i didn't expect you to be-" I was about to compliment her before she cut me off.
"BUT if you hurt her Tatsumi, I'll kill you, got that?" I sweat dropped. "You said the same thing."
"Hm? I don't remember saying that~."
"You're weird Leo-nee-chan."
"I get that alot."
As we walked further, i began to feel uncomfortable, like something bad is happening.
I hope Mein and Sheele are okay.
My eyes widen when i heared sounds of gunshots and roars, I turned my head to the source and gasped, it's the direction where Sheele and Mein are.
"Leo-nee-chan!" I said in alarm.
"What? Why are you screaming all of a sudden?"
"Activate Leonele now!" Leo-nee-chan stared at me for a second but then nodded and activated her Teigu.
"Why did you want me to turn into-" Her voice was cut off by another roar.
"We don't have time to waste, lets go!" I said before running off to the direction where Mein and Sheele are.
With Mein and Sheele
Boom!*
'Tch! I didn't expect for us to be found this early.' Mein thought to herself after dodging a gunshot from a mysterious attacker.
The two assassins were done with their mission and was running back to base, when suddenly, someone fired a rifle from a tree, causing the Mein and Sheele to dodge and stop on their tracks.
"NIGHT RAID!" The mysterious attacker jumped down from the tree and revealed to be Seryu, the one who helped Tatsumi when he was lost.
"After all these time, i finally found you, you, you're Sheele from the wanted posters right?" Seryu pointed at the purple haired assassin, she then pointed at Mein. "And since you're with her then you must be with Night Raid as well! My name is Seryu Ubiquitous, you scum of the Empire, you killed my master, Ogre and i will have my revenge! CORO, Transform!" Seryu yelled causing the small imperial arm to transform, his size grew massively and his teeth turned razor sharp. "Now attack the evil doers!" Seryu commanded, Coro nodded and charged to Mein's direction.
"Tch! Hekatonkheires, a biological teigu, this will be a two on two." Mein said then grinned widely. "You ready Sheele?" Sheele nodded and ran in front of Mein and cut Coror's body upwards in half using Extase, a pair of giant scissors that can cut anything and also provides extreme defense thanks to it's sturdiness. Both of Coror's upper and lower body landed on each side of the duo assassins.
"Don't let your guard down Sheele! That thing can regenerate, all we need to do is find out where its core is and blast it to pieces!" Mein said.
"You won't be able to find it that easily, Night Raid!" Seryu yelled before firing a dual riffle. Sheele blocked it with Extase while Mein jumped out of the way. Coro had re-attached himself and charged at Mein once again. Mein fired three shots using her Pumpkin, an rifle/sniper imperial arm that gets more powerful with the user's emotions, it also powers up depending on how dangerous the situation is.
Coro received three holes to his chest but recovered quickly and continued to charge at Mein. Seryu kept firing her rifle while Sheele and Mein kept blocking and dodging her bullets and eventually, Seryu ran out.
"Tch, I'm all out of bullets, CORO! Arms!" Seryu yelled, Coro nodded and instantly grew massive muscular arms and continued to charge at Mein.
Mein fired a stronger shot from Pumpkin causing Coro to gain a larger hole on it's chest compared from the last shot before, he stopped for three seconds until the wound regenerated and charged again, Mein was now in Coro's attack range and was about to grab Mein before its arms was cut off by Sheele using Extase. "Sheele, you go get Seryu, if she dies, Hekatonkheires will instantly deactivate it's like killing two birds with one stone, I'll keep this annoying Teigu occupied." Mein said, Sheele nodded and charges at Seryu.
Coro had now regenerated his limbs back and tried to stop Sheele from attacking it's master but was shot at the head by Mein.
"Don't forget about me, for a Teigu, you really are stupid!" Mein said, Coro growled angrily before running to Mein at full speed. "Heh, the more danger I'm into, the more powerful Pumpkin gets." She said before firing, each blast being more powerful than the last one causing Coro to get knocked back.
Meanwhile with Sheele and Seryu
Seryu noticed that Koro was being overpowered by Mein and began to panic. "Koro! Use your trump card! BERSERKER MODE!" She yelled out, Koro stopped and then doubled it's size, it's skin turned red and it no longer resembled the little dog it once was.
'With this, Koro will be offline for a couple of days but it's worth it! I can atleast take down these two with the power of justice!' Seryu thought, she then spotted Sheele running at her, Seryu took out two pistols and fired simultaneously.
Sheele used Extase to block all of her attacks. Sheele was now close enough to Seryu and used Extase, she slashed downwards but Seryu dodged it by backflipping out of the way and ran into the trees.
Meanwhile with Mein, after Seryu ordered Koro to use his trump card, Koro double the size and turned red, his mouth earning another row of razor sharp and thick teeth.
Koro then let out a roar so loud that it caused a shockwave causing Mein to cover her ears and get knocked back.
'This Teigu is more powerful than i expected!' Mein thought in alarm. 'But even so, I'm in an even greater pinch than ever before, Pumpkin and I will be able to beat this muffin head and help Sheele kill that justice freak.' Mein fired another shot but Koro dodged by jumping in the air, Koro landed and made the nearby grounds shake causing Mein to almost loose her balance bit was able to fire another shot, it hit Koro in the right side of his chest exposing a tiny part of it's core but healed immediately, of course, Mein with an eye that's sharper than an eagle, spotted it and aimed only at Koro's right chest causing the Teigu to go in defensive.
Meanwhile with Sheele and Seryu, the two were now running trough the woods, Sheele then finally caught up to Seryu and was able to cut her back deeply with Extase causing Seryu to fall over. Seryu turned around to attack but Sheele was faster and cut off her arms.
"WRRYYYYYYYYY!" Seryu screamed in pain. Sheele was preparing the final slash to decapitate Seryu, the Imperial guard. In panic, yelled an order to Coro who was still on the defense with his core almost broken. "CORO! Abandon your defense and attack that bitc-"
Slash*
Suddenly, the world around Seryu's perspective turned upside down.
"I'm sorry." She heared the purple haired assassin say.
'Am i going to die like this...?' Seryu had tears streaming down her cheeks as her head fell down to the ground, normally, any person at this point would have been dead but with sheer will power and all those countless body experiments done to her in order to keep guns inside her body, she was able to delay the inevitable by a few seconds. 'If I'm going down, I'm taking that pink haired evil doer with me! Justice will never lose!'
Meanwhile, after hearing the last order of the Teigu's wielder, he charges at Mein once again preparing to rip her to pieces before shutting down.
Mein kept firing blast by blast but the biological teigu didn't even slow down, it's regeneration abilities were stronger than before and each wound it received healed a second later. Mein noticed this and tried to stall time by running but that idea was crushed, before Mein could run away, her eyes widen when she felt the Teigu's arm grip her whole body. She looked at the teigu and was surprised to see that it extended it's left arm. Hekatonkheires wasted no time and tighten his grip on Mein. "GAAAHHHH!" Mein screamed in pain as she felt the bone of her arms and legs crack, a few more seconds and she'll die by the overwhelming pressure.
'Am I going to die?' Mein thought.
"Mein! Please hang in there!" Sheele ran at full speed but she was too far and won't arrive in time to save her.
'I-I'm still not on the winning side!' Mein flashback to all the memories she spent with Night Raid, her first successful mission, Najenda giving her the teigu she now posses and all the good times they spent together. 'I'm sorry Sheele, but i guess this is goodbye...' Mein closed her eyes, tears escaped her eyes and she awaited her death.
Slash!*
Mein felt the Teigu's grip loosen and she fell off the monster's hand, her eyes slowly opened and saw Tatsumi on air with his flaming sword, he cut off Koro's arm! Mein was surprised that she landed on something soft, she slowly turned around and saw that Leone caught her in her arms.
"You okay, Mein?" Leone said, Tatsumi also approached the injured assassin with a worried look. "We heared explosions and thought that you two were in trouble, guess we were right, who did this to you and Sheele?" Mein was about to answer but was cut off when the three heared a familiar voice calling out the pink haired sniper's name.
"MEIN! Are you okay!?" Mein looked over and saw Sheele running at her with tears running down on her cheeks like a waterfall.
Mein smiled at her worried friend.. no, best friend. "I have broken bones on my arms and legs so... no, I'm not okay." Mein wasn't surprised when Sheele tightly embraced her, what she was surprised at was that the Extase user was sobbing, it was pretty out of character for her but seeing your best friend on the brink of death does that to people.
A moment passed and Sheele let go of Mein who's still in Leone's arms.
Mein then turned to Tatsumi. "To answer your question Tatsumi, it was a imperial guard named Seryu."
Tatsumi tensed up hearing those words. "Seryu!? Then the monster i saved you from was Hekatonkheires?" The three looked at Tatsumi. "You know her?" The three asked in unison.
Tatsumi nodded. "Yes, when i was separated from Leo-nee-chan, i got lost and Seryu helped me find where i needed to go, although i know Hekatonkheires can transform, but didn't expect it to turn into something like that!" Everyone turned to the now deactivated biological teigu. The only reason it didn't deactivated while crushing Mein even though Seryu had died shortly after giving her command was because it needed to complete it's task, and since it's arm was cut off, it didn't have anymore energy to regenerate or activate causing it to shut down.
"I see, well enough talk, soldiers are going to arrive soon because of all those ruckus we caused so we need to go now or we'll be spotted." Leone said earning a nod from the three. "What about Hekatonkheires?" Tatsumi asked.
"You grab it, Sheele's Extase is already a handful for her and I'm carrying Mein."
Tatsumi nodded and went to pick up the now deactivated Teigu, it already reverted back to it's small form and wasn't moving.
"All right let's go!" Leone said and the four ran back to base undetected.
Back at the Night Raid HQ
After walking back to base while Sheele and Mein explained how they're battle went, Tatsumi and the others arrived back at HQ/home and was greeted with a worried Akame, waiting by the door.
"Welcome home every-" As soon as Akame saw Mein all bruised up and carried by Leone, she quickly ran towards the injured sniper.
"Mein! What happened to you!?" Akame said in a worried tone.
"We got attacked by an Imperial guard named Seryu with her Teigu Hekatonkheires, Sheele managed to kill her, but the Teigu ruffed me up badly and i ended up with a few broken bones here and there." Mein explained further. "Actually, i was about to get killed by Hekatonkheires since Sheele was too far to save me but Tatsumi and Leone arrived on time and Tatsumi cut off the Teigu's arm that was crushing me, i fell off the Teigu's grip but Leone caught me so... Thanks Leone."
Tatsumi gained a tick mark. "Why only thank Leo-nee-chan!? I saved your life too you know." He said with his arms crossed and his face making a small pout. Mein giggled in response. "Oh right, thanks newbie, i guess you're not so bad after all."
"No problem!" Tatsumi said proudly, he finally earned a compliment from the queen of insults. "Oh and I got this!" Tatsumi showed Hekatonkheires that he's been carrying.
"Oh yeah, i forgot we carried that with us." Sheele said.
"Anyways Mein, those injuries are serious, we need to treat you right away!" Akame said and took Mein away from Leone and carried the markswoman to the living room and the three of them followed after.
Tatsumi's POV
Thirty minutes after helping Akame treat Mein's injuries, Boss appeared and inspected Mein's injuries, she said that Mein won't be able to go out on missions as her injuries were far too serious to carry out even a simple task. After that, Boss took Hekatonkheires and inspected it for any damage and ordered us to call the others for a meeting.
I went to our room and found Sayo laying down on her bed while reading another book from one of Sheele's recommendations and Leyasu was leaning down on his matress looking like a huge mess.
"Hey guys." I said before sitting down on my matress. The two looked at me. "Hey Tatsumi, how did your missions go? Did anyone get hurt?" Sayo asked. Her questions gave me butterflies in my stomach.
How should i explain Mein's condition?
I remained silent for a while and with a deep breath, i let it all out at once.
"ThemissionturnedoutwellandallofussuccesfullyeliminatedallourtargetsbutMeinandSheelewereambushedbya... *Inhales* ...animperialguardnamedSeryuUbiquitousandherTeigu,Hekatonchaires."
"Huh!?" Sayo screamed.
"Say again!?" Leyasu added.
I once again took a deep breath and tried to calm my self down. "All of us successfully carried out our missions but Mein and Sheele were attacked by an Imperial guard named Seryu and her Teigu Hekatonkheires, Sheele managed to kill Seryu but Seryu's Teigu almost killed Mein with it's trump card by gripping her tightly causing Mein to break a few bones, Sheele was too far away to save Mein but... luckily, Leo-nee-chan and I arrived on time and saved Mein by cutting off the Teigu's arm." The two gasped and without a word; quickly stood up and ran towards the door.
"Wait!" I said causing the two to stop and look at me with worried faces. "Mein's healing now, we treated her injuries but she wont be able to do any task until she's fully recovered. Also, Boss said to gather up for an meeting."
"WHAT!? Mein senpai is seriously injured and we're going to a meeting!?" Sayo said obviously angered.
"Can't the meeting wait!?" Leyasu added.
I let out a sigh. "I understand why you guys are upset but worrying and getting angry won't help Mein heal. She's already recovering in her room so we can visit her after the meeting." After saying that, Sayo and Leyasu seemed to calm down.
"Alright... if you say so.." Sayo said after releasing a sigh. I gave them an appreciative nod and the three of us went outside of the room."
We arrived at the meeting room and saw everyone present except from the recovering pink haired assassin. Boss saw us coming and dropped her cigarette.
"Alright, as you all know, Esdeath will be back at the capital by tomorrow so we will have to dial back on assassinations, this also means that her three beasts are going with her, from the reports of the Revolutionary army's spies, the three of them are all equiped with Teigus as well, these teigus include Black marlin: A teigu that takes control of the surrounding liquids, Belvaac: An double sided axe that acts like a boomerang and can be divided into two and Scream: A flute that hypnotizes those who hear it's music. But all their trump cards are unknown. Now that you know their abilities, and that their stand- i mean Teigu users." Boss looked towards the three of us. "Sayo and Leyasu, the two of you as for now will not be allowed to go on missions as there is a risk of encountering one of the three beasts and fighting a teigu user without one is a death sentence."
I gave Boss a confused look. "Umm... what about me? I don't have any teigu yet."
"Tatsumi, since you have an ability that's almost teigu like and you can actually hold your own against teigu users, according to how your fight went with Zank, you have the power to kill him even with his Teigu's abilities. For someone to eliminate a Teigu user without their own is a field achieved only by the Raksasha demons."
Leyasu then playfully punched my shoulder. "Heh, congrats, all those training finally paid off huh?"
"Yeah, good job Tatsumi!" Sayo added.
"Now that's man power! Good job Tatsumi!" Bro said giving me a thumbs up. I gave them a wide smile in response. "Thanks everyo-"
"Yeah Tatsumi, good job!" Leone said before burying my face in her breasts.
"Mmff! Mmmmmffffff!" I screamed as i tried to brake free from her iron grip.
"Luck bastard..." I heared Lubbock whisper but i was too busy to respond.
"Leone."
I heared Akame said that sent shivers down my spine... I'm not even the one threatened, why am I afraid!? Leo-nee-chan however didn't even flinched.
"I'm just congratulating Tatsumi, his training finally paid off!~"
Akame didn't respond. Everyone including me was surprised when she pulled me away from Leo-nee-chan and placed my head under her breasts while wrapping her arms around my neck like a mother bird protecting her children from predators. "There's no need for you to embrace him like that Leone, only I can do that."
"Aww, would you look at that, our Akame is being protective of her belongings, that's a side of her that I've never seen before!"
"It's only natural, he is mine after all."
That made my face heat up. "C...can you let go now? This is really embarrassing."
"No. I won't let go until this meeting is over, or else Leone will grab you again."
"Oh..." Not gonna lie, i feel very relaxed and embarrassed at the same time. I heared a couple of giggles causing me to gain a tick mark but i just ignored them.
"Ehem!" Boss intruded. "If you two love birds are done now, can we continue on with the meeting?"
"Yeah.." Lubbock added, his eye shadowed by his long bangs, this reaction seemed to get Leo-nee-chan's attention because her grin grew wider.
"Oh~? Are you jealous that Tatsumi already has a girlfriend despite only being here for a couple of weeks~?"
"What!? No! It's not like-"
"I SAID, can we continue on with this meeting!?"
"Y-yes Boss.." Leo-nee-chan and Lubbock said at the same time looking obviously terrified.
"Good, anyways, like I was saying, Tatsumi, you will be allowed to go on missions but you have to be partnered up someone, even if you can defeat Zank doesn't mean you can defeat other Teigu users. Understand?"
"Yes... ma'am!" I tried my best to sound energetic but the position I'm in is too relaxing that i might even fall asleep.
"Alright, now that that's settled, let's turn our attention to this." Boss said lifting up the deactivated Hekatonkheires. "What are we going to do with this?"
Everyone including me looked confused.
"What do you mean Boss?" I asked.
"Well, Hekatonkheires is only compatible with someone who has a strong sense of justice. Of course, with a team of assassins who kills people on a daily basis, that isn't very justice of us."
"You make it sound like we don't have a reason for killing, Boss."
"I'm just stating out the facts. We do kill corrupted people everyday."
"So what are we gonna do with it?" I asked.
A moment of silence passed and Lubbock raised his hand. "I suggest we lock it up. Since we don't need it and i don't think anyone in the revolutionary army also need it, we should just keep it away from the capital... or we can just destroy it."
Boss put her two fingers on her chin trying to think. "I say we destroy it, even if we lock it away, there's still a possibility of the enemy finding it giving us more trouble on our hands, there should be a core hidden somewhere inside it's body, if we destroy it, the Teigu will shut down forever. Bulat, please do the honor."
"Yes, Boss!" Bro activated Incursio and light enveloped him as the armor formed around his body. Not gonna lie, I never get tired of seeing that.
After Bro transformed, a spear formed from his hand: Neuntote, a secret weapon of Incursio that only a few can wield.
Bro then threw the deactivated Teigu in the air and sliced it in half, I heard a sound of glass breaking so it's core must have been shattered. After that, Lubbock inspected it to see if it really broke and sure enough, it did. The Teigu wasn't regenerating anymore.
"I must say, that was a bit tad too overkill using Neuntote." Lubbock said. Everyone except Bro nodded in response.
"I figured if i were to use a bigger weapon, the faster i can find it's core." He then released Neuntote and deactivated Incursio.
"Alright then, that concludes our meeting, you're all free to go." Boss said causing everyone to nod before going to their separate place.
"Umm, My Gluttonness?" I said, she's still not letting go of me.
"Hmm? Oh right." She said finally letting go. "Hey Tatsumi..."
"Yes?"
"Can we sleep together again?" She asked in a bit shyly tone.
I responded with a soft smile. "Sure, My Gluttonness." She gave me an appreciative smile and turned around.
"Alright, I'll go clean my room first so wait for me until I'm done." She said before walking away to her room.
Alright... what now? I don't have anything to do besides to wait for Akame to finish cleaning so I guess I'll head outside for some fresh air.
Right as i went outside, the cold and gentle breeze of the air passed my body.
I released a sigh of fresh relief, finally taking a break from all the ruckus that happened. I looked up and observed the beautifully lit sky, the many and wonderful stars surrounding the moon at it's first quarter. (The first quarter of the moon looks like a D but backwards.)
What a quiet and beautiful night.
I looked around me and saw the grass field dance at a synchronized pace following the direction of the wind.
I laid down on the ground feeling the grass rustle against my skin.
"Ahhh~ I could fall asleep here..." I guess I can take a quick 10 minute nap here before heading back.
Right as i was about to close my eyes, i heared a voice interrupt the silence.
I quickly got up and scanned my surroundings.
"*Sob, *Sniff*"
Someone's crying?
The sound seems to be coming from up the cliff on top of the base. I quickly went up there in fear of someone must be in trouble.
After i arrived, i was surprised to see Sheele sitting at the edge of the cliff, covering her eyes with her two hands, sobbing. Slowly and silently, I approached her hoping that I don't startle the troubled assassin.
"Hey, Sheele. What's the matter?" I asked in a low tone before sitting down besides her.
Sheele removed her hands from her eyes and turned to me.
"Tatsumi? What are you doing here?"
"I was outside of our base getting some fresh air when i heared someone sobbing here, I quickly went up here and found you. What happened?"
"I... I just feel terrible." She said while wiping off her tears. "I feel terrible for not being able to save Mein back then when she was about to get killed by that Teigu... If only I wasn't an air head, she... she wouldn't have suffered, she's in this condition now because I... I-" I cut her off by giving her a soft embrace. It wasn't in an romantic way but a 'It's okay, your friend is here' way.
"It's not your fault, Sheele, everyone knows you would have saved her without hesitation given the chance. You were just too far away to make it on time. Listen, based on how your battle went, if you hadn't killed Seryu and went to save Mein first, Seryu would have found a way to turn the tables resulting in either the two of you to get more seriously injured or worse. Your choice of actions led to the best outcome."
"How do you know she could have turned the tables on us?" Sheele asked, i felt her heartbeat went back to normal suggesting that she had calmed down. I broke the hug and went back to my sitting position.
"I met her back when i was lost in the slums of the Empire, while we were talking, I picked up a scent of gunpowder coming from her breath, she must've had a gun inside her throat but I wasn't sure of that yet but what happened with your battle confirmed it, she specialized in guns like Mein while her Teigu took most of the damage."
"You could smell something like that?" I nodded in response. "Yes, I have a strong scent of smell that's a level or two below Leonele, my sense of hearing is also high above average, that's how I knew you and Mein were ambushed by Seryu."
"So that's also how you heared me crying from up here. How did you enhanced your senses?"
"Well, if I remember correctly, I was born and raised for eight years on top of a mountain, I don't remember where it is since I had an amnesia after I fell down a cliff and into a river when in an attempt to escape the empire and go to my parents, what I do remember is that the air around there is pretty thin but I got used to it, another reason is from my trainings with Constant flux and my sense of hearing is just a gene from my mother."
"I see, thank you Tatsumi, I feel a little bit better now." I smiled and gave her a thumbs up. "That's the spirit! Well i should get going now, Akame will look for me if I take too long." I stood up and right before I was about to leave.
"Wait, Tatsumi." I turned around and was surprised when Sheele quickly got up and hugged me. "S...Sheele?"
"I forgot to tell you.. actually, you and Leone, I'm really thankful to you two for saving Mein." She then let go.
"Your welcome Sheele, it's what friends and comrades are for." I said before turning around again and walking away. "Make sure to get back to base shortly Sheele, Boss might get mad if you sleep late." I said while waving my hand in the air as I walk down back to HQ.
Sheele's POV
I watched Tatsumi go down the hill for a while before sitting back with a smile on my face.
Tatsumi is really nice, I guess that's why... Akame fell in love with him. I thought to myself as i observed the beautifully lit sky.
30 Minutes later.
The silent night of me spacing out while staring at the sky was interrupted by a chirp from a bird.
How long was I staring at the sky? I should get back already. I stood up and nearly tripped on a rock.
"Owww."
Meanwhile
After the meeting had dismissed, Leyasu went to the hot spring to take a bath.
With a deep breath, his mind wandered on what he was going to do next.
'Alright Leyasu, Mein is hurt so what are we suppose to do?' He thought to himself.
'We're suppose to visit her after taking a bath right? Should we bring an apple or something?'
'Dumbass! She's not sick you idiot.'
'You do realize that we're the same person right?'
'No- I mean yes but we're separated by our personalities, I'm the original me and you're the stupid me. And no, we're not giving her an apple, maybe dinner? She hasn't eaten yet.'
'Hehe, what about we give her a bath?'
Leyasu then picked up a wooden bucket and smacked it on his head.
'Stay out of this pervert!'
'Wha!? It's a great idea!'
'No way! And we'll just get blown to bits if we even try!'
Leyasu's current situation: In mental conflict.
Tatsumi's POV
"Wow." I whispered to myself after Akame opened the door to her room.
After my talk with Sheele, I went back to base and took a quick bath to relax myself after one busy day, after that, I found Akame in the living room probably looking for me, I approached her and apologized for making her look for me and we went to headed to her room which leads us to my current situation.
The rooms squeaky clean again.
I just stood there, petrified and amazed even after seeing this yesterday.
"Something wrong?" I heared Akame silently ask. I looked at her and noticed a familiar glint of smile on her face.
"Oh, umm... nothing, let's go to bed." She nodded and we went in, and laid down on the perfectly comfy bed.
I turned to Akame and blushed at how close we are. I didn't feel like this before because of what happened but now, examining her beautiful red eyes, her soft lips, her soft, long silky hair... my heart was beating incredibly fast and it took all I had to not hug her tightly and kiss her already. I was brought back to my senses when Akame spoke.
"Hey Tatsumi." She asked staring into my eyes.
"...yeah?" I said, embarrassed, this may have not been the case when we were younger but I'm a teenager now!
"Do you like me?"
"I love you." My answer caused her to blush and look away.
"Since when?"
"Since... one and a half year after we met..." Her eyes widen hearing that. "And it's the reason why I didn't completely forgot you when I had amnesia... It's crazy right? The brain may forget but the heart will still remember..."
"...I see." She said with a smile. "So our feelings were mutual even back then... The only reason I didn't confess was that I was worried that if you rejected... our relationship as friends would be lost... but I'm glad to know that our feelings were mutual even before we separated."
"Wait... you... liked me back then?...I have the same reason... For us to be separated and be reunited again... this must be fate."
"It must be." She said before turning around and pulling me into a hug which I gladly returned. "Also... thank you Tatsumi."
"For what?"
"If I hadn't met you back then, I wouldn't be having these feelings now."
"Like what?"
"Like joy, excitement and... love."
"Akame..." I felt her hug tighten. "You must've had it rough... thinking I was dead back then."
"Yeah... yeah it did... stupid meat servant."
"I'm sorry... well, it's okay now I'm here now and that's what matters. Good night."
"I suppose so. Goodnight."
5:30 a.m Somewhere near the capital
An armoured dragon rested on top of a hill while a certain blue haired figure stands on top of it, overlooking the sunrise.
With a sadistic smile, she let out three words.
"I'm back, Najenda."
EXTRA SCENE
"Umm... Akame..." Tatsumi said looking at the kitchen table.. no, his plate to be specific.
"What's wrong?" Akame said.
"Didn't I left a note here that specifically said: Hands off the plate, My Gluttonness.?" Akame responded with a nodd.
"Yes, I did not touch the plate just as you said and only ate the food."
"When I said 'Hands off the plate' I meant that you do not touch my food!"
"You need to be more specific next time."
"You..." Tatsumi said with a tick mark. He heared a giggle from her and it somehow made him calm down a little. 'Why is it so hard to get mad at you...' Tatsumi said to himself.
Author's notes.
Hey guys! It's been a long time since I last updated huh? Im sorry that this chapter is shorter than the past one.
Anyway, I've come up with a one shot for Tatsumi x Chelsea and it includes a OC.
And I think that's all I have to say. Stay safe out there folks!
