"Kill the minister's son"
Akame and Tatsumi had locked wooden swords they were sparring hard both of them were caked with sweat. This was the closest Tatsumi was to wining a sparring match with Akame. They truly were the best sword fighter's in Night Raid. Each were blocking each other's attacks really well but Tatsumi switched hands with his wooden sword. Akame did not expect this as it was extremely risky but Tatsumi managed to pull it off and got a hard strike on Akame's side. She fell to the ground but had a smile on her face as she fell. She caught herself from falling with the sword. Tatsumi was shocked to say the least but had an amazing sense of pride. Akame got herself up
"Lucky hit" She said
"Oh Come on!" he said
"ok ok you won" She said
"Thank you"
"your getting better with every passing day" She said with a nice smile
"again thank you" Tatsumi was grateful That she was complementing him Akame was up there with Bro and Boss with people you want to impress. But not for the reason that he looked up for her, No he wanted to impress Akame for an entirely different reason. In truth Tatsumi really really liked Akame and he wanted to tell her himself but he wanted to wait till the right time, Preferably after the war was over. And he was just scared Akame wouldn't feel the same.
But the other truth is that she did Like Tatsumi, No she loved Tatsumi but she had not a single dam clue how to deal with these feeling she's never had them before Tatsumi was on her mind more than meat and she would have a hard time dealing with it and telling Tatsumi. It just goes to show that behind all of the Assassin business there just teenagers (well not so much this late into the war) But point being these two losing each other would be the worst possible thing to happen right now.
"Tatsumi…"
"Yea Akame?"
"What are you planning on doing when this war is over?"
"Uhh I don't know I've never really thought about it. What about you?"
"Travel the map and hunt down the scum of the earth And maybe just a little bit of exploration"
Tatsumi smiled
"That's a good Idea I think I know what I want to do now"
"What?"
"would you Mind bringing another person? I think it would be Nice to be with a good friend going places I mean only if your cool with it."
Akame Smiled
"Traveling the world with you. I would like that" Akame said with a nice smile and blush to Tatsumi that voice was so warm and comforting
Tatsumi tried to look away to hide his blush only to miss the comfort of looking into her red piercing eyes and ended up looking back. It took all of his manpower not to just kiss her and tell her how he felt but he couldn't do it in fear of it becoming weird. But what Tatsumi didn't realize is that Akame was having that same problem. They really were hopelessly in love but it was nice they had a retirement plan. Akame pictured it now both of them exploring all of the north, south, east and west Together….
And then Akame opened her eyes. And Tatsumi wasn't there anymore she was simply remembering by her self in the training court. Words could not possibly hope to describe how much Akame missed him Its as if she lost a part of her.
Here's an example of how bad Akame is she now had no one left to spar with think about it Mine's decent with a sword but not Tatsumi levels, Leone fights with her fists so no sparing there, Lubb...yea not in his current condition and it was a no anyway, Chelsea had no combat experiance And Su was to busy taking care of Lubb to spar so she truly had no one to train with.
Another example no one in Night Raid can now get Akame to smile or laugh ever again it was as if She was constantly on mission mode where she was always dead serious. She had no joy anymore no matter how funny of a joke you say she'll just keep the same static sad face.
Next she has permanently lost her appetite which REALLY bothered everyone in Night Raid this was the thing that was a dead give away that Akame was truly hurt by his death she used to always love eating meat and cooking it but not even she could explain it she just lost the want to constantly eat.
The sad truth is everyone missed Tatsumi they all tried to move on but the shock of him not being there was honestly really weird it was hard to picture Night Raid without Tatsumi in it. Lubb was solemn and quiet, If Mine even heard the name Tatsumi she wouldn't smile for almost an hour, Su was as serious as ever, Leone was the same as Lubb, Chelsea was extremely sad about this, Tatsumi was her favorite member of Night Raid and she noted that it was really boring with out him, Hell even boss cried a little in her room she missed the kid he was really charming and was always determined. The main point being Night Raid really wasn't NIGHT RAID without Tatsumi, And Akame hated her sister for taking him from her.
But while Akame's heart might have been filled hatred and sadness Kurome was the exact opposite she had never been happier in her life. Ever since the Budo failure Kurome and Tatsumi have been going on frequent assassination missions against the revolution and the two were an unstoppable force when the two were together they were known as the Dynamic Duo and they have gained quite a reputation to The Revolution a reputation Night Raid was painfully aware of. But no one wanted to know what Kurome did to Tatsumi behind the scenes and Esdeath certainty didn't want to know either just because if she did that would be the pushing edge for her and no one could guess what she would do next.
Esdeath did see something one time though, She was wondering the palace when she heard giggling she peaked her head over a corner and saw Tatsumi kissing Kurome. Esdeath went wide eyed but then she noticed something Kurome seemed truly happy with him it was like having Tatsumi with her was the happiest she's been for awhile. She turned back around the corner with a hurt face and slumped on the wall then slid down it. Was she mad at Kurome for doing that? No not even in the slightest, Was she mad at herself for not convincing Tatsumi to join the Jagers and effectively getting him killed? yes absolutely she was furious at her self. And even if she ordered her to let him rest she knew she wouldn't, the other truth is she was never getting Tatsumi back from Kurome.
Chelsea had now officially breached the royal Palace posing as a noble man her mission was to kill the prime minister's son. Going after the Prime minister was waaay to risky but after Night Raid got Intel That Syura was responsible for the horrible creation of the new danger beast that murdered countless people he easily became a target.
Chelsea now had to be extremely careful her disguise would be useless in the wrong place or the wrong time she made her way to the room the target was supposedly staying in before quickly changing into a busty woman then knocked on the door. When the door opened a very funny looking man opened the door with white hair.
"What is it?"
Before Chelsea got a chance to say a single thing He cut her off.
"oh I don't remember requesting a whore. But I am bored ….. Alright get in here."
He then grabbed her by the hair and dragged her to the bed on which he threw her onto the bed very roughly
Holy shit I hate this guy already Chelsea said in her thoughts while Syura climbed over her he gave a grin before tracing his hand lower and lower down her body
I just need a good opportunity dammit.
Chelsea had noticed a purple looking gem thing on the nightstand beside the bed. She concluded that was the imperial arms he was using as she could feel its aura. He then started to kiss her neck while leaning over her. She smiled to herself knowing this was now the perfect opportunity to kill him.
Syura felt a very sharp pain in his neck which made his eyes widen and his heart race then it happened he thought when he exhaled only breath would come out but blood came out of his mouth in what seemed like gallons
Finally
"you...you...Bitch…"
Syura fell to the floor. Trying to crawl towards Shambhala
"there..was...so..much..fun..I..could..have...ha.." and with that collapsed to the ground dead.
Now for the hard part and that was getting out of the palace alive. Actually it wouldn't be that hard with Chelsea's imperial arms. She disguised her self as Syura and left the room. She was relying on luck alone to get her out of there If a single person talked to her she would be screwed judging by how she doesn't know this guys speech patterns. She was ten minutes down the hall when she passed the ice queen herself. She looked very sad and hurt. But Chelsea felt from the aura it was easily the most powerful thing she had ever felt and that was merely being in the presence of her she did also feel a lot of self hatred. She decided not to even attempt to talk to her just get out of there. As she passed, Esdeath scolded at Chelsea's direction she could just tell that Esdeath didn't like this person that she was posing as.
Just get out Chelsea She said to herself in her head
She passed Esdeath and breathed a sigh of relief she reached the door left the outside very fast and as soon as she left the palace grounds she switched to a commoner and high tailed it the hell out of there she ran and ran. She ran out of the capital as fast as her legs could take her.
And got out of the capital
Safe
3 hours later Night Raid Base
"Hey Akame you fully recovered!" Leone said cheerful
"Yea"
"so you ready to go back on missions?"
"Not. Yet"
"oh.. Whats wrong. Wait what are you doing?" Leone said noticing Akame picking up her one hit killer
Akame unsheathed Murasame just enough to see her reflection
"Avenging Tatsumi"
"NO! Akame then Im coming with you!" Leone said gripping Akame's arm
"No your not."
"Yes I am Akame, Tatsumi was my friend to you don't understand I feel pain also"
Akame tried to talk reason to Leone but she kept talking really fast and over her Akame had enough of it eventually
"STOP IT!" Akame yelled over her, Leone was in shock to say the least she had never gotten yelled at by Akame ever in her life even if you made her mad she would just be quiet
"She's not your sister! He wasn't someone you truly loved And in the end… Your life just isn't worth the risk of losing"
"And yours is? I don't want to lose you to, please don't do this we can do this as a team"
"Leone.."
"yea.. Akame?"
"that promise I made with Tatsumi it goes both ways don't worry I'll be fine" Akame said with a smile then pulled Leone into a nice hug
Leone was in the hug for a while before she started laughing a little. Akame was little confused by this
"whats so funny?"
"I made you smile."
*slow clap* Congratulations to the guy who said "No, Chelsea already suffered enough Canon wise, plz let this be one she survives.". Because of you Chelsea gets to live another day butyou realize what you've done right? For every character that gets saved one more will die and Make no mistake this story still needs more despair im spinning a wheel for a random character in Night Raid. and if Chelsea wont get torn apart then I guess someone else will. Akame is int on it so calm down were still taking a vote for her or Kurome (which is at a stand still right now). But when that final battle happens a lot of people will die and you cant prevent that. Ok so the truth is more people said I could kill Chelsea but you were absolutely right Chelsea has suffered way to much I mean she basically was just added to Night Raid before she got Slaughtered by Kurome which got me thinking maybe I should focus the killing on one of the characters who haven't suffered enough… Well anyways thank you all so much for the continued support I hope you all continue the support it really helps me get through the day when I see a review.
