"So you're saying these wizards have ways to probe people's minds?" Najenda asked Lubbock, as she flipped thru the pages of a book her loyal comrade had brought to her. Reading about it reminded her of Zank's Imperial Arms.

"Yeah and that's not the only thing," Lubbock said. "It also says that they really do have the power to wipe someone's memory, or alter it so they have false memories."

Najenda lit a cigarette. "Lucky for us this book also says that strong mental shields can protect from unwanted probes. We should have Harry start to build up his mental strength, you never know when that might come in handy." She let out a puff of smoke. Wizards could be a problem if they were ever encountered.

"Is there anything else you have to add Lubbock?"

"Yeah actually, look at this," Lubbock reached into his coat to pull out some wrappings. Setting it on the table Najenda sat at he began to unwrap it. Inside was a necklace.

"Is this it?" Najenda asked blowing another puff of smoke. "A necklace."

"It's not just a necklace Najenda," Lubbock paused. "It's the Imperial Arms Krisos."

Najenda's eye widened. "You are sure? How did you find it?"

"It was in this creepy shop called Burgin and Burkes I recognized it from the cataloged Arms record. What really confirmed it was when the shop keep said everyone who touched it went insane. Probably because they weren't compatible with it," Lubbock explained.

Najenda knew of this Imperial Arms, when wore it could create an energy barrier that could essentially deflect any attack. Its trump card allowed the user to become intangible for a short amount of time.

"Susanno," Najenda said, "please take this down to the lower levels."

"Yes of course," the organic Imperial Arms responded to the order.

"You are dismissed as well Lubbock," Najenda said. "Oh and good work today," the silver haired general said to Lubbock. "You performed above my expectations."

Lubbock practically had hearts in his eyes at all the praise he was getting from Najenda. "Oh it was my pleasure Najenda there's no need to thank me, I mean I would do everything to you! I mean I would do anything for you!" Lubbock rambled before he quickly left. Najenda couldn't help but to laugh a little, it was a bit cute.

In the following weeks Harry had been studying hard with Ran, who was determined to build up Harry's mental walls. "It says in this book that the best way to set up defenses is to think of a solid image and make that your reality," Ran read off.

Racking his brain Harry tried to think of something he could easily picture and map out. Then it came to him: the Palace.

The palace itself was huge, and could be set up in a way that he could guard his thoughts, behind its doors. If someone opened a door they would be confronted by a danger beast, each increasing in rank deeper into the palace. If someone did get past the beast, they would then find themselves confronted by either a Jaeger or Night Raid member.

This was all abstract so far, but Ran had confidence in Harry that he could do it. "Just remember to take care Harry," Ran cautioned him. "Some people don't care if you're a child or not." Harry saw an unreadable expression cross Ran's face, but before he could ask what was wrong, the door busted open.

"Hiya!" the cheerful voice of Leone called out. "What are you doing in here Harry?" she asked. "Tomorrow is the big day Bols and Akame baked a cake for the event, come have fun with us!"

"It would look like some are having more fun than others," Ran said under his breath. Harry looked at Leone and sure enough there was a trace of a blush, probably from drinking sake.

Harry nodded and walked over to the door, "Aren't you coming too Ran?" Harry asked.

Ran merely shook his head. "Thank you for offering, but I would like to finish up reading on some of these potions books, they could prove to be very beneficial."

"Aw come on!" Leone whined. "You're really gonna stay by yourself and read while everyone else has an awesome time?"

"I happen to find enjoyment in reading," Ran replied simply.

Leone rolled her eyes. "All right suit yourself, just think of what you'll be missing," with that said Leone turned from the door gave a wink from over her shoulder, and walked away with a sultry sway to her hips.

Harry looked back to Ran who just sighed, closed his book, and muttered something about how he could read before he went to bed.

Tatsumi thought the party had been fun overall. Bols and Akame had outdone themselves with the cake, Leone had had a bit too much sake and had passed out. Lubbock offered to take her to her room, before getting hit on the head by Chelsea, who ended up taking her. Seryu and Mein had ignored each other like usual. Tatsumi knew that even though the two of them were working together, they would never be friends, some things in the past just can't be forgiven.

"Harry seemed to enjoy himself," Tatsumi said as he put on a black shirt over his pajama pants. Akame was dressed in her usual nightgown.

"Yes," Akame agreed. "He seems prepared for tomorrow and whatever it will bring."

Tatsumi could tell from the underlying tone in her voice, she was a bit worried for about tomorrow. He had to admit, so was he.

Pulling up the covers Tatsumi sat in bed next to Akame, wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her closer to him. "Hey I'm worried for him too, I get it, he's going to be entering a world we have so little understanding of."

"I just want him to stay safe that's all," Akame said as she nestled her head on Tatsumi's shoulder. "From what we know Harry could still be considered a target."

"I know what you mean, but that school is rumored to be one of the safest," Tatsumi agreed. "And I doubt that a teacher would endanger a student at a school. And besides Harry has his Imperial Arms which he can keep hidden."

This was true Harry's robes were long enough that they covered his forearms entirely, so his Arms would be hidden. It would be best if for the moment no one knew Harry had one.

"Having an Imperial Arms, doesn't guarantee survival," Akame stated bluntly.

"You're right," agreed Tatsumi. "but we just have to trust that Harry will be responsible, and be able to handle himself. We trained him well after all. Especially you."

"Thank you," Akame said snuggling closer to Tatsumi.

"You know Akame you'd make a good mom," Tatsumi said.

Tatsumi saw Akame's eyes widen in shock. "What?" she asked.

"Well I mean I know we haven't really given any thought to a family yet, but if we did have one I know you would be a great mom," Tatsumi explained. "I mean you genially care, you'd want them to be able to know how to survive and fend for themselves, while showing them it's ok to rely on those you trust. You've done just that with Harry so I know that if we ever do have kids they'll turn out all right."

Akame had lowered her head, and Tatsumi feared he might have said too much. All he was trying to do was assure his girlfriend that the Harry would be ok, but looking back he might have gone too far. He never intended to scare her with the thought of the future.

"Look Akame I-," Tatsumi began.

"Tatsumi," Akame cut him off, still not looking in him in the eye. "Yeah?" Tatsumi asked unsure as to what she was about to say.

As it turned out Akame didn't say anything, she grabbed a hold of his shirt and pulled him in for a kiss and pinning him to the bed.

Getting over his shock Tatsumi kissed her back as he moved his hands to her waist. He could feel his pants getting tighter, and he was sure Akame could feel his erection touching the inside of her thigh.

Beginning to feel embarrassed with himself Tatsumi was about to break from the kiss, but Akame beat him to it. Great now I made her feel awkward, Tatsumi thought.

However when he looked into Akame's enchanting red eyes, he saw something there he had never seen before: lust. Akame reached for the hem of his shirt and began to pull it up, to reveal the toned body underneath.

Getting the clue as to where this was going, Tatsumi pulled the nightgown off Akame, leaving her in her bra and panties. Reaching his hand up to Akame's back Tatsumi fumbled for a bit to undo her bra, but eventually managed to unhook it.

The two kissed some more before they both removed their last article of clothing. Tatsumi had managed to flip Akame on her back so that he hovered over her.

He traced kisses across her jawline, neck, and shoulders, eliciting moans out of her, which only inflamed his passion more.

Slowly Tatsumi eased himself inside Akame, until he felt an obstruction. He had heard that for women their first time can be quite painful, so he looked into Akame's eyes, and when he received a nod, he gave a small thrust and felt felt the barrier break.

Akame gave a small, "Ah!" which led to Tatsumi bringing a hand to the small of her back and begin to rub small circles in an attempt to ease the pain.

It seemed to work as Akame started to ease into the feeling. Tatsumi began with small thrusts, just to establish a steady pace. It seemed to put Akame to ease as she began to let out small moans of pleasure.

After a while Tatsumi began to quicken his pace. Having never had sex before Tatsumi could feel something building up inside of him, and it felt like it was going to explode.

Looking Akame in the eyes he could see that she was also starting to reach her limits, her eyes were glazing over and her breathing was increasing rapidly. As he shifted himself slightly to penetrate deeper, her eyes went wide as she let out a soft but pleasurable moan.

That was all it took as he felt a wave of heat pass through him like a hot flash. Exhausted Tatsumi collapsed down next to Akame.

Tatsumi turned to face Akame, who was giving him the most beautiful smile he had seen in his life. He wrapped an arm around her to pull her closer.

The two of them fell asleep embracing one another. And Tatsumi's dreams were filled with the image of Akame's beautiful smile.
