The Reincarnated Huntress

A/N: This is an inspiration from The Huntress of Hope by Akame The Bae. Which haven't been updated in 4 years. The concept is good so I decided to write one too. Although, my version is radically different.

A/N 2: Well this is now going to be posted to AO3 with minor fixes here and there. So the Author Notes are actually outdated now since it originally meant to be only.

And I will also use this as an opportunity to fix any mistakes as I post on Ao3.

I didn't remember how I died, and I didn't want to re-experience being born.

There was no ethereal deity telling me what to do nor was it a Teigu. I still remember everything but my death. My struggle to become an assassin, the Empire, Night Raid, Tatsumi, Kurome, Leone, and my travel to Wakoku. I still remember it all, but my death. I didn't know if it was old age, the curse, or the battlefield. I hope it was the former.

A ray of light opened up in front of me, and I walked toward it.

Vale General Hospital

Normal PoV

"Congrats on your twin," The Doctor held two babies. He wrapped both of them in a pink blanket and handed them over to the mother who was relieved it was all over. She didn't shed tears, but she might have broken every bone in her husband's right hand. On her arms are two babies. One of the baby was crying while the other one wasn't.

Instead, She held a confused expression.

"What should we name them?" Raven asked her husband who was crying, "TAI!"

"Sorry sweety," He hurries to her side, Wiping a single tear away.

"Sorry about the hand," She sighed apologetically.

A moment later, the hinges on the Hospital room door broke. Summer Rose and Qrow Branwen fall forward in a pile as they push against the door.

"Damn my luck," Qrow growled.

Summer was glad she landed on top of Qrow because it gave her the chance to leap up and rush to Raven side.

"They're cute!" Summer squealed in joy," Did you name them yet!"

"Tai, This one has your eyes. What should you name her?" Raven beckoned to her husband.

"I'm always partial to Yang. Yang Xiao Long," He chuckled, "What about her, she has your eyes."

Raven looked into the blood-red eyes of her infant. The infant is unable to see but can hear the voices around her.

"Her name is Akame Branwen," Raven said, seeing the infant shift.

Interesting,' She thought to herself recalling how Akame behavior is out of the ordinary. The baby twitched in Raven arms.

"Two different last names? It going to be confusing for the twins. Couldn't it be Branwen-Xiao Long or Xiao Long-Branwen? No! Is Xiao a middle name? I forgot! So it would be Long-Branwen or Branwen-Long!"

"Summer," Qrow piped up.

"Sorry, I'm rambling on again. I'm just so happy to be an aunt!" the young woman held out her arms, "Please let me hold them, sis!"

"That sister thing again?" Raven rolled her eyes, "Here."

Summer held the two infants close to her. Yang warms up to Summer and Akame remains tense.

"So when is the marriage?"

Raven kept herself from visibly tensing, but Qrow and Akame caught on to it.

"The marriage-"

"Tai and Raven are still working on the date Summer," Qrow locks eyes with his sister, "Isn't that right Raven?"

"We are still deciding," Raven explained.

"But we swear it would be soon," the father smiled toward the mother.

"When it starts can we invite Willow," Summer said, being oblivious to the sour mood between sister and brother, "Oz and GG too!"

"Nope," Qrow answered promptly. He shuddered at the thought of dealing with a Schnee.

Meanwhile, Akame couldn't see beyond blurry shapes but her hearing is perfect. A thousand thoughts race through her head at how she could resurrect, no reincarnate, and who are these people? More than anything, she didn't expect to live again after all she has done.

How many innocent people did she slain? Soldiers with loved ones? People who only wanted to go on with their lives.

Even the rationale for killing the evil of society is merely using evil to achieve it. A grim afterlife is what Akame believes she deserves. But somehow, she's given a second chance.

The people in the room appear to have good intentions with the exception of her 'mother'.

Her mother, Raven Branwen, shares the same aura as Esdeath but more suppressed.

The father, Tai Xiao Long, spoke with happiness in his voice. The former Assassin didn't feel threatened, unlike the mother. The same can be said about the women, Summer, currently holding her, and the alcoholic man in the same room wasn't a threat. She hasn't caught the name of the alcoholic yet, but she knows the men drink heavily based on the thick smell of whiskey.

'There's also a few more people in the room, most likely nurses and the doctors.'

"Unless the marriage and the legal stuff goes through, Raven and I agree to split the twins last name."

'Last names...Are they nobility?' Akame thought. In her old life, The commoners aren't allowed to have a last name,' Hopefully, these parents aren't the sadists nor the corrupt from the Empire. If they are...I might be forced to put them down.'

Akame mentally sighed at the morbid scheme to kill her own parents minutes after meeting them. Even if she wanted to kill them, she has no clue about their combat capability nor is she able to do anything in a weak infant body.

A new body.

'I may have memories and in turn, experiences, but my body isn't what it used to be.'

The assassin felt the presence of her twin as she whined softly. I even have a sister.

'What am I thinking? I have a second chance and I don't want to ruin it.'

Akame found it fascinating that she has a twin. Does she have other siblings? The cold-blooded killer mindset went from viewing her new family as threats to seeing it as it is. Another chance to live a better life.

'A infant,' She internally sighed,'Why do I have to live through this?'

The once quiet baby felt the weight of the situation and she can't help but cry. It's been too long. When was the last time she shed tears after countless losses of her own comrades? Constantly fighting and running? She entertains the idea she died by the blade. It's what she deserves, isn't it?

A new family.

Akame hopes they don't abandon her. Unless proven otherwise, She resolved herself to protect them when she's physically able to.

"Now she's crying, "Qrow chuckled," If she wasn't, I would have gotten worried."

"Worried?", Raven clocked a brow.

"She might act too cold and bitchy like you sis."

"Qrow! The babies!" Summer shouted.

"They can't understand us!" Qrow is unaware of the contrary.

4 Months Later

Akame PoV

It was frustrating and embarrassing having to deal with a weak physical body. I have to go through being a toddler and a child all over again even with my mental maturity. It's degrading, and I can't do anything about it until I'm self-sufficient. Once I got my eyesight working and at least being able to crawl around, I wasted no time exploring. I eavesdropped on their conversation and searched for anything of value that will help me pinpoint where I am.

I heard name drops of locations like Vale, Atlas, Beacon, and many others but I recognize none of them. I figure I'm born in the distant future and/or a distant country. When I first came across these things called scrolls, I expected the traditional kinds. I didn't expect it to look like a retractable clipboard with fancy features. It let me contact people from long distances, and have things called 'Apps'.

The instantaneous communication plus a built-in map would have given a huge tactical advantage to armies. There are also TV's that shows pre recorded and live images that entertain as well as inform. I have seen too many new technologies that never existed in my time and I'm amazed by it all. I wanted to watch the 'news' to learn more about my current location, but my father and mother always place the 'remote' far from my reach. I'm forced to watch this mind-numbingly dumb 'cartoons'.

I learned our home isn't a big mansion as I thought it was. It's a comfy two-story home surrounded by verdant green grass with the light forestry beyond it. I try exploring the outside world one time but was dragged back in with a warning from my father.

'Big, bad Grimm,' He warned me.

Grimm.

They must be a type of Danger Beast. The occasional word drop of 'huntsmen and huntresses' plus weaponry in the home, allow me to come to the conclusion that my family is hunters of the Grimm.

I figure growing up and eventually hunting these dangerous beasts isn't all that bad. It is better than the alternative and these 'hunters' are viewed as the guardian of the people.

So far, I'm surrounded by people that love me. My mother treated me better than my own biological father even if I thought she would be the most likely to throw us out. The house isn't in poor condition, and we aren't scrapping for food. It was peaceful.

My sister Yang reminded me so much of Leone. It's almost like she reincarnated alongside me even if I know that isn't the case.

Father Taiyang Xiao Long spent countless hours taking care of us alongside the women, Summer Rose. Summer Rose acted like another mother when my own mother, Raven, and her brother, Qrow Branwen, are off on missions. Missions that take them away from home for a longer period of time. But they always return.

I have yet to understand the outside world, beyond my house. This could be a reformed Empire for many decades or centuries in the future. My infamy would have been lost to the sands of time by now.

If this isn't hell, then I must be in heaven.

Besides the difficulties of a toddler body, I was completely contemptuous with my new life.

As the fourth month nears its end, I sense my parents arguing. I didn't know what it was about and I didn't feel like it was my right to eavesdrop when I needed to make such Yang didn't get into any trouble.

If I knew the context of the argument. I wouldn't be surprised when my mother lifted me from my crib and disappeared into the night while I was in her arms.

A/N: If anyone wants to know if anyone from Akame ga Kill will be reincarnated. I'm leaning on "NO".

Although, I can see-

Mine-Weiss Schnee

Esdeath-Raven Branwen.

Tatsumi-Jaune Arc

Kurome-Ruby Rose

Or their own separate characters.

But no...I'm not doing that. It would overcomplicate the story.
