New Empire camp, night raid tent
Esdeath and Mine were glaring at each other, Akame had a blank face while both of Leone and Chelsea had a serious face. Najenda was controlling the situation. the air was a heavy in the tent. Mine took a step forward and placed her hands on her hips. Esdeath had her cold eyes on Mine
"You don't scare me" Mine began to say
"The last person who said it found my sword in her eye" Esdeath interrupted Mine
"That's the point! You are a monster!" Mine shouted "You don't deserve to be even here! You should be in hell! You killed so many people just for fun!"
Esdeath clenched her fists "You are right. I killed so many people and I don't regret it. But now, I made a promise to Tatsumi and I'm not going to betray him. I don't care of what you think of me because I love him and because Tatsumi gave me another chance and his love" she replied
"Tsk! You love him? Don't make me laugh, yours is only desire of possession!" Mine yelled
Akame looked away from the scene and Mine noticed her behavior
"Don't tell me you believe her, Akame?" Mine said
Akame didn't say anything
"You can't be serious" Mine continued
Akame sighed and finally spoke "Since she is here, Esdeath didn't harmed the innocent, she actually helped a lot" the red eyed girl admitted
Esdeath smirked at the statement
"Also she agreed to kill her if she betrays Tatsumi" Akame added, shocking Mine, Leone and even Najenda
"As I said before, there's nothing I wouldn't do for Tatsumi" Esdeath said as she gritted her teeth "I don't want to lose him again"
"You don't know him, I have spent lots of time with him" Mine replied
"You are wrong, I do know him. While you were God only knows where, I was at Tatsumi side!" Esdeath coldly said
"I WAS LOOKING FOR OUR DAUGHTER!" Mine finally broke and burst into anger, when she realized what she just said she putted her hands on her mouth and tears began to form in her eyes
Esdeath, Leone and Chelsea widened their eyes in surprise while Akame looked at the ground and Najenda sighed. After a long silence Najenda spoke
"You maybe don't know but in our world you all are missing from a long time" She said "Only Akame and me knew of this. She didn't say anything probably because she didn't want to worry Tatsumi"
Akame nodded
"After Wave disappearance, I decided to destroy the rest of Shambala ,but before getting destroyed, it transported us here" Najenda explained
"When that happened, I was holding Mitsu" Mine added "When I first woke up, I couldn't find her" and then she started crying and fell down on her knees
Silence filled the tent until Esdeath did something shocking. She hugged Mine like how she did after Seryu lost Stylish. Mine had no idea on what was going on, so she couldn't react
"WE will find Mitsu, no matter what" Esdeath calmly said "but Tatsumi needs to know"
Mine nodded
"There is only one problem left" Esdeath said as she let go Mine "If I am correct, everyone in this room except Najenda has feelings for Tatsumi"
Everyone nodded calmly
"As an Emperor Tatsumi will need a strong progeny, as much as I would like to have Tatsumi all for me…I'm willing to share him with you in order to avoid him a painful choice" Esdeath stated "I'm happy as long I stay beside him" she added
Akame and Leone nodded in agreement
"I can agree on that" Chelsea said
"Then let's go to Tatsumi" Esdeath said
'You'll have a lot of work Tatsumi' Najenda thought and smirked
Tatsumi's tent
Tatsumi was lying on the bed ,looking at the ceiling of his tent, he couldn't sleep he had too many worries in his mind. On one side he had Esdeath and Mine and in the other he had a war against an Evil enemy.
'and I thought that I could live a normal life' he thought as he sighed
Then suddenly Esdeath, Mine, Akame, Chelsea and Leone entered and stood in front of him
'is this how I die?' Tatsumi thought and assumed a sitting position
"Tatsumi" Esdeath said with her stoic tone "we came to an agreement"
Tatsumi could only nod
"Since your love is keeping you from decide" Esdeath continued "We have chose for you"
'Wait what?!' Tatsumi thought
"You will be ours" Esdeath concluded as she gestured all the girls in the tent
Tatsumi was dumbstruck
"I told you that after the revolution you would be my mate. After all I marked you" Leone said with a smirk
Then Mine took a step forward and sat on the bed beside him.
"Tatsumi, there is something I have to tell you" Mine said with a soft voice
"Mine?" Tatsumi said with a worried look
"After you died" the pink haired girl began to say "I gave birth to a beautiful baby, her name is Mitsu, she is 1 year old , she has your green eyes and pink hair like me. She falls asleep immediately when I tell her the stories of her father and how he has defeated the devil" tears began to fall from her eyes
"I-I have a daughter?" Tatsumi asked and Mine nodded with a small smile
He hugged Mine tight
"Where she is?" Tatsumi asked
"I don't know…I-I looked for her everyday but I couldn't find her…I don't know what to do"
Tatsumi broke the hug and looked at her in the eyes "We will find her" Then he looked at the others "Am I right?"
"Of course we will" Esdeath replied
Menagerie, Belladonna's mansion, night
Kali was washing the dishes while a little girl was drawing with Ghira. Kali remembered the night they found the girl lying inside their garden
FLASHBACK
Ghira was reading the newspaper while Kila was knitting, both of them was at peace. Then Kali's cat ears straighten up, she heard something outside
"Dear, do you hear it?" Kali asked
Ghira putted down the newspaper and focused, his eyes widened and he got up
"it comes from the garden" Ghira stated and began to walk outside the mansion, Kali followed him
They followed the unknown sound until they found it's origin
In front of them there was a little girl crying, she had pink hair, a green reptile eyes and a small pair of dragon wings
"Oh dust!" Kali exclaimed as she proceed to pick up the girl and calming her
"Who could left a child here?" Ghira asked
"I don't know, I didn't sense anyone" Kali replied "What we should do?"
"For now, we'll take her with us" He looked at the girl's wings "There aren't many dragon faunus, I should be able to track her parents"
Kali nodded and began to walk inside the mansion
FLASHBACK END
Kali smiled and approached the little girl and looked at the drawing. It was a pink person
"Oh who is?" Kali asked with a cheerful tone
"M…Mo….Mommy" The little slowly said and Kali looked at Ghira in disbelief

Salem continued "You'll slowly recover" she got up "I sent Tyrian after the woman who did this to you" 'He'll never comeback' Cinder thought while Salem walked out of the room
