Hi people, how are you all? I enjoyed to see many people following Kill the Clan so it inspired me to bring this fanfic to this place too, as said in the summary it takes place after Seryuu´s death, so yes she won´t be appearing here.
As a side note, the chapters of this story will be shorter and it is not the normal action-comedy, or at least, not for the first chapter, it has more hurt-comfort and romance to it in the earliest chapter than the anime/manga, I am advising this because people may ask when the gore and kills are going to happen, but well that would start after chapter 4 more or less.
I hope you all enjoy reading it, and don't blame for the pairings because you dislike them please, also review if possible I like to hear ideas and opinions.
Chapter 1: Kill her Worries
It was early in the morning, the streets of the city were empty as nobody dared to be outside, for fear to the assassins that lurked in the shadows, yet only one person was running towards the alleys and concrete of the avenues, he was a young-man in his twenties, his tanned skin gave the impression of a man that travelled quite a lot around the world, but for somebody whose sense of smell to recognize some particular scent, would discover that the male have lived in the city for a long time.
The man started to run faster, as the rain poured heavily on the street, he gazed with her yellowish eyes for places that he could use as a detour, yet he found none, it was a straight road towards the pond at the center of the park, and he wouldn't find a place to rest from the impending storm.
The young man cursed himself for not guessing better when he started jogging, but something in his mind forced him to do it. Something is his mind assured him that he would appreciate this day, and even this rain in the future, for him it didn't make sense, what could one appreciate of a rainy day that made your clothes soak in water and heavy, made your hair press against your skin and almost blind you, and made oneself sick? Yet all of it made sense when he turned at the corner.
He moved his black-pinch hair that covered his eyes with ease, as he stared at a bloody figure of a girl, like him, her hair was black like the darkness, yet way longer, reaching her knees, her clothes were a bit ragged, but gave the impression of a school uniform with a red-tie and a white collar included and they were sticking to her pure white skin. He approached her, as realizing blood was coming from numerous cuts, as well a few bruises from heavy blows, he didn't fear her even if he knew who she was, more precisely, he was enticed by her.
When he was two steps away from the girl, he jumped backwards evading the slash of the murderous katana, Murasame, its wielder opened her eyes showing her murderous intent towards the young man who couldn't help himself but notice her wonderful red eyes, without a doubt, it was her, the one that was badly injured was Akame, the member of Night Raid and one of the most known assassins that worked for the empire.
"I won´t like this to turn into something messy, can you come with me, peacefully?" The young man asked lifting his hands trying to show he was harmless, but something in his face, something in his voice triggered feelings deep inside the assassin.
"You are the murderous general that rivaled with Esdese in the past, you are not going to convince me with words" She stated trying hard to get up, she have been through so much hardships that the man, couldn't help himself but feel hurt and sad for her words.
Yes he had been a killer that would made Akame achievements ridiculous, he had been in war alongside Esdese, and have battle her as his rival, but even if he changed, his actions still reflected pressure in the present, and now, this girl, could die in any instant.
"I am glad you know about me, but for now, sleep" He said dashing towards her and upon evading a few slashes landed a hit on Akame stomach, making her drop her Teigu as she fainted. "Little hope of people" He added whispering at her ear.
Akame
She woke up in the middle of a village engulfed by flames, members of her assassination group were burn to death around her and she even had burn marks on her arms. She looked at all directions searching for a survivor, or the culprit, but what she only could see was destruction, madness and death, she was in a battlefield, a place she had dreamed to forget, but why was she here.
She tried to focus on a silhouette that appeared from the ruins of the village, and soon a young man appeared, his body was covered in blood and ashes, his eyes showing no life at all, just the desire of destruction was left in there, and just that was that person seemed to need.
Akame haven't feel fear never in her life, until that moment, but before she could burn the image of that person she opened her eyes in the real life.
She found herself in a spacious room, but couldn't get into details as it was dark, it seemed that all light from the outside was blocked or at least her eyes haven't accustomed to its darkness. Akame tried to speed the process by focusing in objects she could see scattered around the room, there was a cupboard that held books, a table with a candle and a chair, there were windows but they were closed to impede the light to enter in the room.
She heard noises from outside and tried to get out of the bed to reach the door and hear more, but her wounds ached and made it impossible, for some reason the person that she had found before fainting has moved her to this place, but, it was safe?
The assassin started to inspect her wounds, noticing than all of them were covered with bandages by now, cuts had been sutured and a feint scent of alcohol made her realize that they were also cleaned, but what started to worry her was something different, apart from the bandages she was totally naked.
She blushed at the thought of a man touching her bare skin, and even worried things had gone a different way, but soon her thoughts calmed as the handle of the door began to move, showing somebody was going to enter, at first she panicked for a while but tried to remain calm and swiftly looked for a suitable weapon to use, finding that one of the bars of the bed was a little loose and she could use it to stab that person if he tried to play with her body.
The man came to the room, it was the same individual from earlier, the one that took advantage of her weak state and dragged her to this place, and also, the monster that she saw in her dreams.
"I am glad you are awake" The man said while moving next to her holding a candle in his hand and laying it at the little desk Akame had at her side. "I am sorry I had to use much force to knock you out, Akame"
"Why I am here, what do you plan to do to me?" She asked trying to remain calm in voice and actions.
"It is very simple Akame" He said as he moved his hand towards her "What I want is…"
As fast as her strength let her Akame grabbed the loose bar and attempted to stab the man in his heart, but it was futile.
As soon as the man noticed her attempt to kill him, he dodged backwards and grabbed her hand making her bend forward and press her wounds, it was a torture technique he had used in the past, give prisoners the hope for escape and then making them suffer despair when he evaded them and hurt them in the process.
Akame felt anger growing inside of her, she knew that her composure was limited especially around that person, his crimes in the past, his madness, his rude behaviors, all of those thing pained her enough, she needed to kill him.
"I will obligate you Ex-General Ark, no matter what you do to me I will kill you" She treated while releasing her whole killing intent for that person.
The young man stood up looking at her precious eyes, feeling her, but then simply turned away and moved to the window slowly opening it and revealing that they were in the middle of the city, near the place where she had fainted.
"That would be a problem Akame, if I let you kill me, then lot of things wouldn't be correct, first" He said as he moved to open the other window. "It would be difficult without your sword, second" he added as he moved toward the desk lifting a few flasks Akame had failed to notice due the dark "I wouldn't be able to heal you, third" This time he was placing the flask in the cupboard and then grabbed a bandage from that place. "It wouldn't let me repent for my sins, and four" This time, he moved to the other side of the bed where Akame was and kneeled at her side. "The voice in my head would tell me to kill you to evade that" He stated as he began to change her bandages placed in her stomach.
Akame stayed there looking at him, as she sensed it, just for a second when he looked at her eyes, she could sense it, and insane murder instinct born from the desire of protecting people, it even made her release the weapon she was grabbing in a moment.
The assassin clenched her teeth as a surge of pain appeared again, it was Ark while she was shocked he decided to change the bandages on her stomach and now he was warping that zone with a new set as the previous one was drenched in her blood due the sudden action opening her wound. When he finished, Ark decided to lay Akame on the pillow, making her rest for a little as he petted her head softly.
"Akame, you may not be able to forgive me, but at least, let me tell you that I too suffered, in similar ways as you suffered" He said calmly, but threads of sadness were in his voice as he spoke. "Just like you, I am cursed, by this thing inside of me that won´t let me die, so I decided to live on and suppress it, but the pain of the past is always there" He almost sobbed as he spoke by now, clearly, there was something the assassin didn't know about him, but she started to feel sleepy in the comfortable words that carried an unknown warm in them.
"At least, tell them I am alive" She said with the last string of strength she had before falling asleep.
Ark looked at the expression in her face and smiled softly still caressing her head and petting her while asleep, then he bended over her face as his hair covered his actions from everybody and as soon as he moved away he said.
"I will do it, little hope" He said before departing.
End Chapter 1
Next Chapter: Kill his lament.
I hope everyone enjoyed reading this chapter, as you can see the approach is very different for our normal Akame Ga Kiru, as it will contain more romance, hurt/confort and lemon, but rest assured because in future chapters all this WILL change.
