Author's Note:The first thing I want to say is AKAME GA KILL ENDING WAS STUPID! Not cool Takahiro. Not cool. Also I wanted to apologize for not updating in a long time! I've been really busy but chirstmas break is quickly approaching so i'll make sure to write a ton! Also I've gotten a few pms saying I focus too much on the other characters rather than just Tatsumi and Leone. To try to fix that, I thought maybe I could create another pairing for the story! Pm or comment any pairing ideas. :D

Tatsumi thought about Leone and prayed for her safety as he slashed through his fourth assailent with ease. He didn't want to seperate from Leone but he knew that strategically they needed to split up to rid themselves of thier seemingly endless attackers. Tatsumi thought back to moments before they split up. Leone had called him paranoid after he suggested they split into teams. Najenda shot the idea down immediately and dismissed the team, opting to stay with Susanoo's core. Tatsumi had been confused the whole time, not knowing what was attacking them or why. Be that as it may, he chose to simply attack first and ask questions never. Tatsumi continued to speed down the hallway, until he was struck from above with a blunt object. The last thing he heard before he lost conciousness was a maniacle laugh that sent shivers up his spine.

Leone's fist connected with another enemy, sending him sprawling across the room, leaving a crack in the wall on impact. She thought of Tatsumi and how he knew that she could take care of herself, but still insisted on staying with her. It made her happy that he actually cared enough about her to suggest an idea everyone knew that Najenda would reject. She smiled as she sent her fifth, maybe sixth, attacker through a wall fifteen yards away. She was deep in thought when a blunt object struck her from above, knocking her unconcious as she heard an ominous laugh that made even her shudder.

"-one! Leone! Leone!" Tatsumi shouted as Leone began to regain conciousness.

"Huh...?" Leone said in confusion as she rubbed her head.

"Leone! Are you okay?" Tatsumi asked.

"I'm fine. What's going on?" Leone asked him, hoping he knew where they were.

"I'm not sure, I was knocked out before I was taken here." Tatsumi said slightly disappointed in himself for not even putting up a fight.

"Eh... So was I..." Leone admitted.

Tatsumi looked down at the thick chain binding them back to back, thinking of a way to escape and begin to figure out what was happening. Just as Tatsumi thought he had an idea to escape, Leone activated her teigu and broke the chains with ease.

"They must not have realized I had a teigu." Leone said with a smile.

Even after exploring for ten minutes or so, the only clue they had to where they were was the fact that they were in a massive cave. Knowing they were underground meant they needed to find an exit, an exit that very well might have been covered up.

"Well..." Tatsumi said.

"At least we're here together..." Tatsumi mumbled, just loud enough for Leone to hear him.

Leone blushed at his words, her thought being the same as his. Leone put her hand on Tatsumi's shoulder. He tilted his head to look her in the eyes. They stopped walking and Leone cupped Tatsumi's cheeks in her hands. They leaned in and kissed passionately. They broke apart moments later, still staring at each other.

"We haven't had time to do that in a while." Leone said, winking as she smiled.

Tatsumi blushed as they joined hands and continued to walk throughout the cave. Occasionally turning thier heads to look at one another with a smile.

Akame ran throughout the building, looking for any sign of her missing comrades. She thought back to what her assailent had revealed to her moments before his death. He was a large man, weilding a massive blunt mace. He had tried to attack her from above by clinging to the roof. Akame had barely been able to dodge it, veering to her left as he slammed to the ground. They hadn't bothered to exchange names or motives, opting to just fight it out. The large man charged at her. Akame, having steeled herself, lunged at him and just as they were about to connect, she dropped to the ground and crouched under him. She pointed her sword directly at his chest and kicked off of the ground. Her sword pierced him in a non-vital spot, still making him lose a large amount of blood and feel extreme pain. Akame pulled her sword out of his chest and kicked him to the ground. She held her sword to his throught and began her interrogtion.

"What are you doing here, and who do you work for?" Akame questioned.

"You shouldn't be concerned with that." The man said with a grin.

"You should be more concerned with your friends." He continued.

"What did you do to them!?" Akame began to snap.

"They didn't react as quickly as you did." His grin widened.

"You won't be seeing them any time soon." He said, coughing up blood.

"Where are they!?" Akame said, pressing her sword into his throat slightly without even noticing.

The cursed poison began to spread across his body. He continued to grin at her as all life left his body. Akame cursed herself for not having more self-restraint, and began to search for her missing friends. Akame snapped out of her flashback, continuing the search.

Najenda sent her fist rocketing through the chest of yet another enemy attempting to kill her and take back Susanoo's core. She had been protecting his core for around fifteen minutes now, and it seemed the main objective of their enemy was to take back Susanoo's core, something she would not allow them to do.

Tatsumi and Leone were now running, they had been in the cave for aproximately half an hour now, and they may have found a way out. There had been a loud noise in the tunnels of the cave a few minutes ago, giving them a hint as to were to go.

"I see the light!" Leone said with joy, running slightly ahead of Tatsumi.

They ran outside, bathing themselves in the sun's warm embrace. Tatsumi scanned the area, trying t figure out just where they were.

"There!" Tatsumi exclaimed, having finally got his bearings.

They could faintly see Night Raid HQ in the distance, along with a bright light that be seen from even that far away. They ran, back to thier Headquarters and thier friends, both of them silently praying for the well-being of everyone in Night Raid.

Akame searched even still for her missing comrades. She had not a single clue as to thier whereabouts, but searching randomly was all she could do. As Akame ran through a hallway, she noticed a bright light shining through the window. Her first thought was to ignore it, but then she realized two things. One, whoever is making that light may know where Tatsumi and Leone are. And two, they may be signalling more enemies. Akame burst through the window and sprinted towards the unusual light. As she got closer she could see the silouette of a man standing just behind the source of the light. Just as Akame pulled back her sword and prepared herself for battle, but just as she was ready to slash the man waved his arm.

Apperently the wave was signalling his two underlings. One of them shot a huge bullet out of a handgun that might be better described as a hand cannon. The bullet connected with Akame's sword, successfully knocking her back. Akame prepared to charge once again as the man's second bodyguard descended on her. She was a short and slender woman, wielding two small hatchets that she began to twirl below her, resembling an upside-down helicopter. Akame realized she had no time to dodge, instead twirling her sword in the opposite direction. Thier blades connected and there were a flurry of sparks, Akame slashed her sword in mid-air to get the blood off.

"Eliminate." Akame said, her face showing nothing but anger and resentment as she turned her attention towards the gunman.

Another massive bullet flew towards her at high speed. Akame sliced in it half, creating two explosions on either side of her. She dashed towards him, slicing in half two more bullets and further destroying Night Raid HQ. She glared at him as she pulled back her sword, this time with nothing to stop her. The man sidestepped her attack much to her suprise. Unfortunately for him, his gun was still in Akame's line of attack, and it was sliced clean in half. She planted one foot on the ground and changed direction as she kicked off of the ground. The gunman, now deprived of his gun, flipped backwards and attempted to kick the sword out of her hands. Akame reacted swiftly by clutching his foot and using his own momentum against him, sling-shotting her with her sword pointed in front of her. Murasame pierced directly through the man's head, killing him instantly. Akame turned to face the mysterious man and the almost blinding light she assumed he was making. He clapped as he drew closer to her.

Leone was able to sense a fight from quite a distance, and upon telling Tatsumi, they began to quicken thier pace. They came closer and closer by the moment and could most likely make out the people fighting if it weren't for the source of light that everyone seemed to be converging on. When they could just barely identify the conflicting individuals, they saw that Akame was on the ground, covered in blood at the feet of a man they knew all too well. Leone picked Tatsumi up (much to his embarressment) and kicked off of the ground and flew towards them at high speeds.

"STYLIIIIIIIISH!" Dr. Stylish shouted as if to signal his minions.

Leone put Tatsumi down and they wordlessly prepared to fight. Just then, a seemingly endless amount of deformed humanoid beings that could only be described as abominations, fell from the sky and landed. They quickly surrounded Leone and Tatsumi, leaving them, outnumbered and confused. Tatsumi opened his mouth to speak but quickly shut it as he turned his attention to the multitude of Dr. Stylish's mutant allies flying into the air and landing with a thud. They continued to be sent soaring until a path was cleared, and Susanoo joined the others in the fray.
