Taking a seat in a room inside the Capital Palace, Syura smirked as five cloaked figures all stood around him. "Everyone's been gathered, perfect." He started.
He crossed one leg over the other. "Our toy this time is the entire Country. I, the great Syura, am going to enjoy myself."
...
Night Raid was currently setting up some tipis, having found a place to prepare to weather the night as they travelled back to the Capital on foot.
"Hey, do you think Shobu is okay?" Tatsumi asked, looking down as he helped to tie something.
Akame, who was next to him, looked over. "Why?" She asked back.
"Well, I'm just worried, y'know? It's been a week, and we haven't even heard word from him yet, I know he said he'd survive, but isn't it possible she decided to just kill him off?" He unloaded, tying the knot more forcefully than he should've.
Akame stopped what she was doing, and looked back down. "It's hard to say, but I'm willing to believe that he's alive, when we figured out someone had to be left behind, he volunteered without a second thought, I'm sure he will live." She responded, resuming her task.
Tatsumi frowned. "Shouldn't we get someone to check? To spy or something? I can go, I have invisibility armour, I'm sure I'll hear at least a rumour about a captured Night Raid member." He stated.
Akame smacked him over the back of the head.
"Wha!?" He stopped, looking at the serious expression Akame had.
"We have no forces from the Army, who are busy trying to siege the Empire for the day of the Revolution, half of us are still in recovery, and nobody will be able to help if you get caught." She stated. "It would be a death wish, we just have to believe in him." She added, letting out a deep breath.
Tatsumi stared, but nodded. "I understand." He stated, continuing his own work.
A sudden growl was heard inside the larger of the two tipis, and Akame poked her head inside the tarp, as it was the girls' tipi.
Leone had angrily thrown something at the tarp, baring her teeth as she glared at the item she threw.
"I don't need fucking pain medication, I need to heal, and once I do I swear to god I'm going after that bitch and making her pay." She growled out.
Akame sighed, poking her head back out the tent, and glanced over at Tatsumi, who was looking at her in concern.
"It's fine, Leone is just throwing another fit." She informed, closing the flap of the tipi. "It's almost night, let's go hunting, Mine said that she'll be prepping Supper today."
She stood up, wrapping a heavy leather pelt around herself like a coat and looked over at Tatsumi, who was staring at the tipi.
"You coming?"
"Hm? Oh, yeah."
Inside the tipi, Leone glared down at the pain relievers as she held back the urge to cry, in rage or in sadness she couldn't tell.
"Fucking hell, the longer I'm in here the more restless I get, I need to know if he's okay." She grumbled, laying back down.
Her anger slowly subsided as she stared up at the ceiling, and she turned on her side, bringing a hand up to lightly touch the side of her cheek.
"Shobu."
...
"Agh!" Shobu cried out in distress as Esdeath slashed the whip along his body once more.

Action"You sure this'll work?" Shobu asked, holding the rare ore in his hand, glancing at Okami, before hesitantly looking over at Esdeath, who was waiting patiently for them. "Yes." Okami responded, taking a heavy breath as he held up his own ore. "Alrig...
