Mine and Tatusmi were waking up to the noise of yelling. Unable to tell what was being said, they both groggily moved out of their bed and begin dressing. Knowing that they would most likely have a mission, they both dressed in battle ready clothing and walked down stairs, mumbling as the yelling got louder. They was able to eventually tell it was Lubba and Leone yelling at each other, something of which was common for the past week.
"Hey! Both of you shut the hell up! You woke Tatsumi and I from our wonderful sleep and you're both lucky I don't pumpkin blast both of your damn heads off!" Mine shouted, quickly grabbing Tatusmi's hand so that she doesn't snap fully and carry out her threat. Tatsumi and Mine sat down at the table, looking around. Lubba and Leone have gone silent, struck with fear. Akame walked in shortly after with Su right behind her, both carrying plates of breakfast plates for all the members. Setting each plate in front of each member that each meal was made for, Akame smiled. She loved cooking and making the rest of Night Raid happy. Everybody starting eating after saying "Itadakimasu" in sync. After eating, walked in with a lit cigarette.
"Okay, today I will need everybody today. I got some information of a small group outside of town who plan to team up with The Jaegers. We are to assassinate them before they get anywhere near the capital, and the reason I need everybody today is because today happens to be the day Esdeath talks with them." explained. She could see the serious faces. This mission before them could cause all kinds of pain, in many forms. She knew though that she had one of the best groups. She put her cigarette and quickly said "Let's go!"
Mine and Tatusmi were sitting in a tree together, ahead of the group. Mine was looking through scope and watching the group. Night raid would strike at her signal, but she waited patiently. Tatsumi beside her, impatient. He wanted to kill fast, finish, and spend the day with Mine. She blushed at the thought of being with Tatsumi. No matter how long they date, she can't believe he accepted her. A year now they have been together, and she feels like they just got together yesterday. Smiling as her thoughts continued on, she moved one of her hands off her pumpkin blaster to grab Tatsumi's. It always made her calm to hold his hand.
"Hey..Tatsumi." Mne started, still blushing. "Thanks for coming with me. I'm always calm and happy with you by my side. Feels like just yesterday we got together, but it's already been over a year. The best year of my life yet. I'm glad it was with you, and nobody else." Mine finished, looking at him in the blushed also and moved his head forward, gently pressing his lips against Mine's and kissing her. Smiling while it happened, Mine smiled also. They moved their heads back In sync and Mine decided to check her scope. Seeing that the group had starting moving, She signaled Night Raid to counter.
Akame, Leone, and Lubba all moved from their tree and countered the group, readying their weapons to stop the group. They landed in front, weapons ready, and Akame walked forward to speak for the group and holding her sword out slightly, ready to strike at any moment.
"Due to some recent knowledge, we was able to learn about your plans. This group of bandits plans to team up and work with Esdeath and her group: The Jaegers. We cannot allow that to happen and so we came here peacefully to ask you to reconsider, but are prepared for a battle-" Akame was stopped in the middle of her speech as ice hit right in front of her feet. She looked behind the group to see the one person who she didn't wish to see: Esdeath. The gang they was after quickly moved behind her and snickered as they looked at Night Raid.
"Well, well. If it isn't the big bad Night Raid! Came to try and stop my army from growing, I see. Well, too bad for you, I caught wind of your attack. Now, you can go or I will force you into the afterlife!" Esdeath said, looking over the group. She blushed and smiled when her eyes landed on Tatsumi but it quickly turned to a bitter scowl when she saw him holding hands with Mine.
"Mine, stay back! I don't need you anywhere close to her in case she tries to sneak an attack" Tatsumi worried, his voice shaking. Mine nodded her head in agreement and took a couple of steps back and disappeared into a tree, setting up to take aim at Esdeath. Tatsumi readied his Incursio and took the spot beside Akame in the front of Night raid.
Suddenly, before anybody could react, Esdeath was in the tree with Mine. Choking her with one hand. Tatsumi started to run towards her but was stopped by a wall of ice. With an evil Cackle, Esdeath ran off, leaving the gang with Night Raid. Tatsumi, beyond pissed, attacked the gang, leaving them with fatal wounds. Leona had to grab an arm while Akame grabbed the other, holding with all their strength to prevent him from attacking anything else.
Tatsumi changed back out of Incursio, and got on his knees. He started to punch the ground repeatedly while crying and mumbling "It's all my damn fault!" Leone sat next to him and hugged him tight, pushing her breasts against his body. Tatsumi pushed her away and ran into the nearby forest. Akame went to go after him but held her arm out, signaling to let him be. He needed time alone to think over the events that just happened in front of his eyes.
