Hello, sorry it's been a while since I updated this story but here's the next chapter. I do not own Akame ga Kiru.
Chap 3- Tatsumi's first job. Kill the Captain.
Tatsumi's P.O.V
I've been a member of Night Raid for two weeks and I haven't had a single job yet instead I've been reduced to cook. My parents died when I was young so I know how to cook but this is still demeaning. They even make me wear an apron and I have to cook for two gluttons rather than one. "SMACK"and once more Akame tries to take the meat I've been cooking. "How is it you can eat as much if not more than Koro?" At least Koro knows to wait. "I've always eaten this much so I have plenty of energy for missions." Not the answer I wanted but I've learned Akame doesn't talk about herself much.
"A cooking apron suits a newbie like you." Augh the one downside of joining Night Raid is defiantly putting up with Mine. I noticed that Sheele, Lubbock, and Bulat looked ready to head out and so does Mine. "New mission?" I ask. Mine replied for the group "Yep so be sure to have a meal prepared for when we get back." I'm getting real sick of her attitude. As if sensing how close I am to attacking Mine Akame calls out to me "Tatsumi , let's go hunting." Probably best to let some steam off. "Koro it's hunting time" I call out. Koro comes bounding out of nowhere and hops on my shoulder. After grabbing some baskets Akame and I head off.
Akame leads me and Koro through the wilderness. I'm surprised when she talks to me "You need to not let Mine rile you up so much." I can't keep a bit of venom from my tone "Ok how about you have your skills and abilities constantly called into question by a pink midget when she hasn't even seen you in action." Akame falls silent after that. We soon arrive at lake with a waterfall and she tells me we'll be hunting for large river tuna. She then strips off her clothes to reveal a swimsuit underneath her usual garb. "And the reason you didn't tell me I'd need a change of clothes is?" I can't wait to hear this answer. "Why would I need to do that? I told you we were going hunting." Koro and I face palm at this. "There's no need for us to get soaked." I turn my attention to Koro. "Koro go cannonball off the top of that waterfall." Koro nods and runs off to the waterfall. A few minutes later he plummets down in his giant form and cause a large amount of fish to get sent out of the lake. I look at Akame and I swear I see stars in her eyes. I know what will happen if we don't gather some fish up so I warn Akame "If we don't get some of the fish while we can Koro will eat them all." Akame moves faster than I've seen her move in combat and gathers up about 75% of the fish but Koro then emerges from the water and gobbles up the rest. I then have to pull the two of them apart as the scuffle over the last fish.
"So you were able to get all these fish using your Teigu. Good job Tatsumi." Boss and Leone seem impressed but Akame is only interested in eating along with Koro. Both of their plates are piled high with cooked fish. "Now, Leone tell me about the request you received a few days ago." Another job huh must be pretty important if Leone actually puts on a serious face. "The client contacted me asking for help avenging her late fiancé. Apparently he overheard Captain Ogre and Gamal the oil merchant talking about how Ogre framed others for Gamal's crimes and Ogre had him executed." So this is an example of the capital's corruption. Leone gained a saddened look and tossed a bag of coins on the table. "Here's her payment." Koro suddenly falls to the ground grabbing his nose. "Koro what's wrong?" I haven't seen Koro like this before. "Tatsu, that bag reeks of disease. I feel ill." With that Koro runs off in order to get away from the stench. Leone fills me in on what Koro smelled. "I got the scent of a venereal disease on her that's what Koro's smelling." Venereal disease, no need to tell me how she got that money. Najenda lights a cigar and gains a contemplative look on her face "and did her story check out." Leone's eyes sharpen and her face tightens. "Yes I heard them talking from the attic." Good more food for Koro then.
I find myself on a street corner in the capital, with my hood covering my head, waiting for Ogre. It took some convincing but I got Boss to let me take Ogre out myself. She wanted to wait for the others to get back but I argued that as a member of Night Raid I couldn't let scum like this ruin more lives. A more personal note is I need to prove myself to them. Akmae said I wasn't a member until I reported in a successful mission. Leone told me Akame's past and I can see how she turned out the way she did. Trained to be a weapon by the Capital would mess anyone up. But they seem to think the only reason I beat those mercenaries was Koro. For now Koro is out of commission due to the harsh smell those coins carried. I'll show them I can handle a solo job. Captain Ogre comes around the corner with a flush of alcohol on his cheeks. He's a mountain of a man and he's missing his left eye, a blind spot to exploit, while wearing a guard's uniform. I take a minute to rein in my killing intent and approach him. "Captain Ogre?" Take the bait you piece of crap. "What do you want kid?" Good this should work after all. "Mr. Gamal wanted me to talk to you but I think I've been followed can we talk somewhere more private." At the mention of Gamal Ogre gains a slightly serious look. "Sure, follow me kid."
Ogre led me into an ally and turned towards me with an impatient look on his face. "So what is it Gamal need?" His guard is down, now's the time to strike. "He needs to set up a meeting at a different place." Ogre seems shocked and crosses his arms. That's what I was waiting for, He'll have a tougher time reaching for his weapon now. "Where's he want to meet?" My hand inches for my sword "The new place is…" at this point I rush him "THE PITS OF HELL!" I bury my sword in his body and then leap back, he falls to the ground but I can tell he isn't dead. I walk towards him and prepare to end his life. "You killed so many innocent, tore so many families apart, I won't feel any guilt over this." He suddenly jumps at me swinging his sword. His sword is designed to fight Calvary by cleaving through horses themselves so blocking his slash still pushes me back. "So you're a member of Night Raid huh, you sent you? Never mind it's the fiancé of that guy I killed isn't it?" He swings downward at me and I'm stuck keeping the sword from coming down on me by using both hands on the flat of my blade to keep his up. Ogre has a twisted smile on his face has he keeps forcing his sword down "Did you honestly think you could take me down? Once I'm done with you I'll track that bitch down and get her family arrested. I'll kill them right in front of her and then I'll kill her." I snap and direct his blade to one side. I slice his hands off and get behind him. "No, you won't hurt anyone ever again." I stab by blade straight through his back, right through his heart, and twist. He dies fast enough and I pull my blade from his back. I know I caused some noise with this so I run off before guards come. As I rush back to base I think off all the lives ruined by Ogre. I swear I'll clean this capital of the scum infesting it.
Scene change- Night Raid Base
I arrived back at base and went to report my success to the group. Koro rushed into my arms, Najenda seemed pleased, Leone had a shit-eating on her face, while Akame was unreadable. "So you killed Ogre without your teigu, good job Tatsumi" A smile spreads across my face at their Boss's praise. "So am I a member of Night Raid now Akame?" I was not expecting her to jump at me and pull off my shirt. "Leone hold him down." What the hell is going on? "Yah, you go girl let's do it." As Leone rushes forward I kick out only to be grabbed by Boss and have my pants pulled down. "Let go of me you perverts." I worm out of their grasp and stare at them. "Ok what the hell was that for?" I then notice Akame has a smile on her face. "Thank goodness. I've had comrades die because they didn't report an injury." I feel my anger slip away. No wonder she did that, she just doesn't want to lose someone else. "Don't worry Akame I have no plans to die yet."
Tatsumi's journal- entry 1
I have decided to keep a journal from now on. If I die I want my story remembered. I just completed my first mission as a member of Night Raid. This city is filled with filth and scum, but with Koro and Night Raid by my side I'll clean it out. I know that this path has a low chance of a happy ending for me, but if I can help the innocent I can be happy.
End Journal Entry-1
No one's P.O.V.
A shadow darts towards a door and drops a package on the mat. It knocks on the door then runs off. A young woman answers the door and lifts up the package to find a note. It reads Sorry for the loss of your fiancé. Use this to get back on your feet. The woman opens the package to find the money she gave Night Raid. Tears flow from her eyes as she rushes back in side. On a rooftop two people chat. "You know Boss will take that out of your pay right Tatsumi?" Tatsumi replies "I know Leone, but she's lost so much I would feel wrong taking more from her." With that the two figure run off across the rooftops.
