Chapter 2

Guess who decided to take this story back again? This guy! I know, I know I took my sweet time to write this. But I am back and ready to rock n' roll. Because I don't know what to say, I'll go to make a question. You see, someone suggested in the Reviews that I make a love triangle between Kurome x Tatsumi x Leone. I like that idea. So, here is the question;

Should the Story become a Romantic triangle with:

Leone

Chelsea

Keep it just like it is

Remember to leave you opinion in the Reviews or PM me. Now, let's go to the story!

Legend:

"Talking."

'Thinking...'

Chapter 2: Heroes without Capes

"Tatsumi! Rise and Shine! I have to show you around today!" Leone was the first thing that Tatsumi heard in the morning. He was in the small room they gave him and he sat up and stretched. He put on a white shirt and grey baggy pants. He put on his leather boots and left the room to see Leone waiting for him with a big grin on her face. "Ready to go stud?"

Tatsumi stretched "Yeah. Let's go."

Leone grinned as she started to walk around. Being followed by Tatsumi. They went out to the training ground, were a muscular man was wielding a spear. "Hey Bulat!" Leone called and the man, Bulat turned around and smiled to them.

"Leone! And the new guy, Tatsumi was it?" He greeted and and Tatsumi nodded with a smile.

The young assassin extended his hand "That's right. Nice meeting you Bulat." Bulat shook his hand and Leone smirked mischievously.

"You know, he is gay."

"Come on Leone," Bulat said as sparks came from his face making him look... wonderful? "You are going to scare him."

Tatsumi laughed nervously "Sorry, but I don't swing to that side. But that doesn't mean we can't be friends."

Bulat laughed loudly "Then you got one Tatsumi."

*After the Tour (A/N: I'm sorry for not putting all the interactions, but the heat is killing me)*

"So Tatsumi, you already met everyone here." Najenda said to Tatsumi as the rest of Night Raid watched "Did you decide to join?"

Tatsumi shrugged "I guess so. I only have one request."

Najenda nodded "Go on. Tell me."

"My part of the money must go to my village. That's the only reason I ever came to the capital." Tatsumi explained and Najenda nodded.

"Fair enough. Now, I want to see how you do in a mission." She turned to Bulat "Bulat; take him with you. Then tell me how he does."

Bulat nodded with a smile "Sure thing boss. Let's go Tatsumi, I can't wait to see you in action." He said and Tatsumi smirked.

They both left the base and Mine scoffed "You really think that a wimp like him will survive?"

Leone put an arm around her shoulder "Relax! I saw him in action and boy, is he good."

Najenda just starred at the door, wondering how their new recruit will do.

*Bulat and Tatsumi*

"So Bulat, what's-"

"C'mon Tatsumi, don't call me that. Call me Bro or Handsome." Bulat interrupted him while sparkles came out of his face making Tatsumi sweat drop.

"I think I'll call you Bro. Anyway, what's the mission?" He asked and Bulat nodded as they stopped in a clearing.

"Right. We were hired to kill a business man that is going out of the capital. He is heavily escorted by his guards, but that's it." Bulat explained and Tatsumi scratched his chin.

"So, what's the plan?"

Bulat grinned "Well, we usually do it without any attention, but now that they are out of town, we can do an exception."

Tatsumi smirked "I can work like that. So, do you have any teigu?"

Bulat grinned as he took a sword out and impaled it as he screamed "INCURSIO!"

As he said that, an armor covered his body and he took out a spear. Tatsumi blinked at the form before grinned "Wow Bro! That's awesome!"

"Thanks, now let's do this. It seems we called their attention." Bulat said as they turned to some guards that were getting closer to where they were hiding.

Tatsumi sighed and closed his eyes "Welp. Let's get this over."

Bulat and Tatsumi jumped out of there hiding and attacked the guards. Bulat with his spear and Tatsumi with his lighting. There were 4 guards and each killed 2. "Sorry..." Tatsumi muttered and Bulat raised a brow behind his helmet but said nothing.

They opened the door of the carriage to see the terrified objective. He is a short, fat man that lost all the hair on his head.

"P-Please... don't kill me..." The man begged and Bulat answer was to stab him with the spear.

"Okay, we are done here." Bulat said and Tatsumi nodded and both assassins turned away to leave.

In their way back Bulat asked what was bugging him "Tatsumi; why did you apologize back there?"

Tatsumi looked at him over his shoulder "Hmm, don't know. I was never a fan of the killing business. Not when I started, not now. I just feel it is wrong."

"Then why do you do this? If you don't like it, just work in another thing." Bulat said, getting more and more confused by the kid antics.

"Because there are people that need me to do this. For every life I take, I feel I save one in my village." Tatsumi explained and Bulat smiled as he closed his eyes and shook his head.

"I didn't expect that you were doing this to help your village. I thought you were just a mercenary or something."

"I am. Only that I receive 10% of the pay."

Bulat laughed as he slapped Tatsumi back making him cough a little of blood making his eyes widen. "Is that-"

Tatsumi wiped the liquid off his mouth with his hand "Blood? Yeah."

"But why? Are you hurt? Or sick?"

Tatsumi sighed "It is... complicated."

Bulat stopped and looked at him with a worried look "We got time."

Tatsumi scratched the back of his head as he started to explain "My teigu can control and create lighting, but it has... well, a secondary effect on my body. I don't know what it is exactly, but what the doctor of my village told me, is that every time I use it, it kills my blood cells."

"So... what you are saying is that you are going to die if you keep using the teigu?" Bulat asked after some moments of silence.

Tatsumi nodded "You could see it like that, yes."

Bulat passed a hand across his face "And why do you even keep that thing then!?"

"It doesn't come off, it is like part of my skin now."

Bulat nodded with his hand on his chin "And you didn't told boss about it because?"

Tatsumi shrugged "Lack of trust. I guess?"

"And you trust me?"

Tatsumi smiled at him "I was kind of forced to tell you, after all, you made me bleed." Tatsumi joked and Bulat laughed.

"So, I am guessing you want to keep your condition a secret, don't you?" Tatsumi nodded and Bulat grinned giving him a thumb up "Then they will not know from my mouth."

Tatsumi smiled at him "Thanks buddy."

*Night Raid Hideout*

Najenda was reading a letter from the revolutionary army. It was a mission to get back an old relic that is fundamental to win the war.

They didn't give her a lot of information about it, only a physical description.

A ring of a purple color with something written on it.

She didn't know for what it is used and why they needed. She will make sure to get a better answer.

But now that she thinks about it, it matches to the ring that Tatsumi had as pendant. If that is the ring they need, she will see what actions will be made.

But in the end, it depends on what Tatsumi thinks about it.

And done! Finally! I uploaded this story! I hope I did well, because believe it or not, I really like this story and have like half of it already planned out. Well, don't know what to say now, for real the heat is killing me, so that's all! Remember to leave your review that it helps my motivation, PM me for any doubt or suggestion, Follow and Favorite me and the story.

Till Next Time.
