"Kill The Memories"
Tatsumi didn't expect being in the sword to be so painful. What he meant by that was kinda complicated but he couldn't see anything or feel anything at all but he could hear and all he heard was the screams of all the people Kurome had killed before. Tatsumi couldn't take it anymore, they wouldn't stop screaming he even heard Doya but he wasint positive since he had never heard Doya talk let alone scream. During the 2 hours Tatsumi was in that horrible place he only said 3 words
"Akame….save….me"
Night raid HQ
Tatsumi's body was being lowered into the ground. Everyone from Night raid gathered around the grave.
"would anyone like to say any words before we bury the boy?" Najenda Stated
Mine raised her hand to everyone's surprise. Najenda nodded and Mine moved to the foot of the grave and cleared her throat.
"Tatsumi might have been a country bumpkin and a downright idiot sometimes but he never failed to raise you spirts when you were down with that signature grin of his. Tatsumi might not have been the strongest fighter but he always did have the strongest spirit so in a way he was the best of us. Tatsumi was always friendly to you no matter how rude you were to him. With out him I don't know how the spirit of things will ever come bac- come bac- im sorry I cant" Mine finished early because she started crying.
Again everyone was surprised Mine always hated talking to Tatsumi but she did warm up to him a little bit so that might explain it. Najenda sighed before speaking up
"Tatsumi knew what he was getting himself into the moment he decided to join us. He would want us to carry out the mission. Susanoo now" she finished and within a second Su was filling the grave with dirt and within five seconds the grave was full. Leone and Lubbuck put a couple of stones to make a makeshift gravestone. While Akame planted Incursio into the ground in front of the grave while silently muttering "I will Free you"
Esdeaths Quarters
Esdeath was lying in her bed A mess she didn't expect to be hurt so bad by Tatsumi's death but she actually cried she didn't even cry when her dad died or when her mother was eaten by that danger beast but she cant explain it shes actually on the bed crying
"why.. am.. I.. so distraught over.. this" she just barley managed to get out before beginning to cry again "he was weak!" she yelled to herself but she knew it didn't matter she just put her head into a pillow.. Just the thought that she would never see his real face again he was a puppet of Kurome the fate that is deserved if you are weak but it still pained her to see him as a husk. Esdeath remembered a certain moment they shared on that island not that long ago
Island several miles North of The Capital 4 weeks ago
"No silly my imperial arms is right here" she said moving Tatsumi's hand over her Chest
"I always thought that was like a tattoo are something" he said
Esdeath giggled at that.
"How'd you get it" he said bluntly
"well it was several years ago I wasint having a connection with any of the imperial arms in the vault of imperial arms. When out of the corner of my eye I saw this vial of a red liquid the minister warned me that everyone who drank it would turn insane. A warning I did not listen to. I drank every last drop and It almost got me. I could see why everyone turned insane from it. But I overcame it and now look at me im them most powerful general of the whole empire" Esdeath had finished
"oh so that's why you love torture" he added in
"what oh no I always loved doing that" she said very calmly with a nice smile on her face. She looked right into Tatsumi's scared little green eyes and smiled. He started to blush immensely, She started o lean in for a kiss and He almost Leaned in as well but the pushed her away at the last second. Quickly jolting up like he was scared for his life.
"Tatsumi whats the matter?" Esdeath asked.
"Miss Esdeath im scared" he said turning back and facing her
Esdeath at a look of genuine concern on her face
"what is it Tatsumi?"
"I Want to join the revolutionary army but I don't want to fight you" Tatsumi lied
"oh Tatsumi you don't have to worry about all that I'll take you back to the capital and get those silly thoughts out of your head"
"miss Esdeath don't take this the wrong way but that's the last thing I would want right now"
"why? I could give you everything you've ever wanted and more"
"I just cant to it. The capital is full of nothing but pigs I cant go back there"
"Tatsumi why are you really scared" she said seeing right through his lie
he sighed turning away from Esdeath to hide his blush only to have Esdeath turn him around and put her hand on his cheek
"Im scared that im falling in love with you" he finally admitted
the amount of joy that went through Esdeaths heart was enough to give a man a heart attack. She smiled and blushed and gave the boy a peck on the lips. Tatsumi pushed away he had no other choice if he kept doing this he'll never want to leave her arms
"I cant fall in love with you" He said
"And whys that Tatsumi?" she said getting a little antsy
"because I already have feelings for someone else" he said
"oh so its a competition whats her name then" she said
"cant say"
"Tatsumi.. be honest with me at least once" she said
"i just did and I cant tell you no matter what. You know what why don't we find a way out of here before we continue this conversation" he said
Esdeath sighed
"Fine but I will get that name out of you yet Tatsumi" she said
