Hey guys! Sorry I made you wait so long last time! I realized I made a mistake in chapter 4; Wave wasn't supposed to know that Akame and Kurome were sisters. So I kind of improvised during one part in here.
Also, I don't want to spoil the manga for you, but chapter 64 is online, called "Kill Your Sister"... and, well, there was no killing of sisters. It was still an important chapter, though, and Akame and Kurome will probably fight in the next chapter (of the manga, not the fanfic). Anyway, enjoy!
The end of October proved to show just how mature the members of Night Raid really were. During an exercise in AP Biology, where students were paired and had to "mate" to see wht genotype their "offspring would have, all of the girls, even Akame, seemed nervous around Tatsumi. Well, in Akame's case, it probably didn't help that Tatsumi shouted, "Okay! Let's do it!"
Mrs. Beaverton asked all of the girls looked so happy as they sat back in their seats. Leone's reply was, naturally, "Because we all got to mate with Tatsumi!"
"I don't get it!" Tatsumi yelled in frustration. "Why do all my dorm members find me attractive?!"
"It's probably just because you're smart, nice, cute, et cetra," replied Akame indifferently. Tatsumi then smiled at her and felt his face grow red. "You mean that?" he asked, and the red-eyed girl nodded. "Well, thank you." Akame nodded again, this time smiling back.
Meanwhile, all the girls in Night Raid understood what was meant by this exchange. Sheele and Leone had no problem with it; although they liked Tatsumi as more than a friend, they wanted Akame to be happy. Bulat was jealous, but he realized that Tatsumi was straight, and it was better this way. Mine, however, was fuming and and screamed very loudly, "TATSUMI MADE MY BABY HAVE ONE PINK EYE AND ONE GREEN!"
Everyone gave her a weird look. "Well, then you have experienced the wonders of codominance," informed Mrs. Beaverton. She then proceeded to show a boring video about codominance, and everyone except the Night Raid Members avoided her for the rest of the day.
Later, in Night Raid's dorm, the students discussed Hallowween plans. "Can we watch Corspe Bride, Hocus Pocus, or Zombieland?" asked Sam.
"We should just focus on our Banana Day projects for now, though," Freddy suggested.
"I remember Banana Day!" squealed Leone. "Remember the banana batter-fried chicken we made, Akame?!" Akame nodded and began to drool just thinking about it.
"Yes, my little kohai (refer to chapter 1 if needed) makes delicious food, doesn't she?" Chelsea asked, petting Akame's head and making her blush.
"Where were YOU for the last three chapters?!" Mine snapped at the orange-haired girl.
"I AM in different classes than you, you know! And I'm a junior! I have to prepare for SATs and have a social life!"
"Come to think of it, we haven't seen Bulat either since Chapter 2," Tatsumi commented.
"I don't want certain aspects of my personal life all over the Internet!" Bulat grunted as he bench pressed in the living room.
"Like asking me to call you 'Bro'? I think everyone was aware of that already."
"Dang it!"
"That aside, should we go trick-or-treating or just have a party?" asked Najenda, trying to make plans for her dorm.
"Having a party might be safer," Chelsea reasoned, still stroking Akame's hair. "We won't have to worry about dealing with the Jaegers." Akame nodded in agreement, her blush leaving and a serious expression coming to her face. Everyone was unanimous with the decision to throw the party.
"Okay!" exclaimed Leone. "We need cookies, cupcakes, soda, and lots of candy!"
"Make sure that candy consists of Kit Kats, Almond Joys, Reese's, and Hershey's!" Sam added.
Therefore, on Friday night, Najenda took a NancyMobile to ACME to buy all of Night Raid's favorite candy and decorations. Night Raid had fun decorating the dorm, and even Chelsea and Mine were getting along. However, the next night, on Halloween, everything was about to change.
The Jaegers all decided to dress up as… well, Jaegers. All of the members were familiar with Attack on Titan, so they just dressed up as members of the squad that killed the Titans. "This is pretty exciting!" Nathan said. "Even though we can't trick-or-treat at our houses, we can still get candy from the dorms and see their decorations!"
"It is pretty cool huh?" agreed Bols, a junior who always wore a gas mask, and therefore was currently wearing one.
"I've never been trick-or-treating before," Kurome informed indifferently. "What do I do?"
"Seriously? Never?!" exclaimed Wave.
"That's what I said."
"Well, all you have to do is say 'Trick-or-treat,' and people will give you candy."
"How much candy?"
"It depends. Some people have a 'take 1 only' rule."
"I don't care. I'm taking at least a handful." Wave smiled at Kurome. Even though Kurome could be annoying and would tease him, he still loved her for a child-likeliness he saw in her.
Soon, Esdeath called everyone to get ready to leave. Seryu had just finished her English homework, with help from Stylish, a gay junior who agreed to tutor his fellow dorm member. Once they were ready, the Jaegers got their bags and left the dorm.
They stopped at several dorms, one of them being Falcon's Nest, where they were greeted by Abby, Lauren R (there were two freshmen named Lauren), and Nicole, dressed as the three pigs. They got their candy and left. As they did, Billy, dressed as Jesus, appeared in the doorway. "Are they supposed to be Ghostbusters?" he asked, confused.
"Probably," Nicole replied. While the freshmen were great people, they had sadly never been exposed to the world of anime. Another dorm of mostly freshmen also assumed the Jaegers were dressed as Ghostbusters, and Esdeath almost beat up one of the members. Luckily, the member was saved by James, a tall brown-haired freshman who was studying to be a marine biologist.
As the Jaegers walked further down the path, Wave spotted what looked like a burnt down house. "Whoa… what's that?" he asked in shock.
"That used to be a dorm," Esdeath informed. "It was called Empire."
"What happened?"
"There were a lot of people there who I knew; I was there my freshman year, until I got transferred to the Jaegers, which was new at the time. Even that Akame girl, now in Night Raid, was here last year as a freshman." Kurome bit her lip at the mention of the red-eyed girl's name, which Nathan noticed.
"Okay, that's cool, but it doesn't answer my question," replied Wave.
"I think it was a leak or something… that started a fire. All of the members got out safely, but they were injured, and… form what I heard, all of the freshmen were so behind on homework, due to being in the hospital, that they were too stressed and dropped out. Well, actually, it wasn't all of the freshmen… Akame was transferred to Night Raid."
"Wow… that's so sad," Wave commented. "Akame's so strong to have endured throughout all of that."
"She is," Kurome agreed, nodding. "I'm not the biggest fan of hers, but I'll admit she has an iron will and a kind heart." For the Akame's sake as well as her own, she left out the part about her trying to commit suicide.
"You're only a freshman, but you seem like you know her," Run observed.
"Of course I do. She's my big sister."
Everyone except Wave gasped; the only reason he knew was that Kurome trusted him the most out of everyone. "Wait… if she's your big sister, why'd you say that you're not 'the biggest fan of hers?'" asked Elliot. Being an only child, he generally assumed younger siblings adored their older ones.
"Because she's a depressed shut-in who doesn't like dealing with people," replied the black-eyed girl emotionlessly, "even her little sister."
"Well, now I know where you get it from," Wave muttered. As the two were about to get in a fight, Nathan put himself in the way. "You know… if Kurome wants to visit her sister, then maybe we can arrange that," he suggested, grinning. Kurome smiled at this. "Okay!" she agreed, nodding.
"Are you crazy?!" exclaimed Wave.
"No," Esdeath told Nathan sternly. "Remember what happened the last time we got involved with Night Raid?"
"Exactly," answered the redhead. "I want to get revenge for insulting Wave. I don't let people get away with messing with my friends!"
A sadistic smirk formed on Esdeath's lips. "Well, I suppose it would be fun to cause them some distress," she admitted. "All in favor?"
"Me!" exclaimed Seryu. "I want to be the one bringing justice for Wave!" Koro barked in agreement. All of the other members agreed as well, although Wave and Elliot were hesitant.
"Alright, then," grinned the blue-haired senior. "Let's go!"
Sam, on the couch with Akame and reading Death Note, jumped at the sound of the doorbell. Mine was already at the door. With a bowl of candy in her hands, she opened the door, ready to throw the candy in the trick-or-treaters faces.
But the candy slipped from her hand as she saw who was at the door. "Trick or treat," Esdeath greeted in an ominous voice. Mine yelped and leaped away from the Jaegers. "WH-WHAT DO YOU WANT?!" she exclaimed.
"To see my sister," a girl with short black hair and black eyes answered.
Akame's red eyes widened, and her body froze as she heard the voice. "Akame?" asked Sam, waving her hand in front of her friend's face. "Hey, what's wrong?" Leone and Tatsumi, hearing Sam's calls, came into the room to see Akame getting over her shock; she gritted her teeth and clenched her hands into fists.
Leone looked towards the door and back towards her friend, understanding immediately. "And we were doing so well, too," she muttered.
"Akame?" Tatsumi whispered, trying to put a hand on her shoulder. The attempt was a fail as Akame rose from the couch and walked slowly towards the door. The brown-haired boy now remembered what Freddy had previously mentioned, "She has... well, I don't know... darkness surrounding her." He could clearly sense that darkness as she walked towards her sister.
Kurome grinned as Akame appeared in the doorway, glaring. "Hey, Sis!" she greeted sadistically.
"Hey," Akame greeted back in a dark voice.
Duh Duh Duuuhhh! I was originally planning to have the Sheele VS Seryu fight in this chapter, but I guess it will be the next one. Hope you enjoyed, and don't forget to leave a review!
