Akame Ga Vengeance Zero! (Akame Ga Kill Zero x OC)

Chapter 9: Assassins

Gozuki: "Your work is very important. Eat all you can to build up energy for your next mission." He sat at the head of the table, while overlooking the current present members of the Elite. "Well, I suppose I don't even need to tell you that." He concluded with a sigh as he witnessed this display before him.

Cornelia and Dairoku were eating normally, as usual, but as for Kuraime, Akame and Poney however, they were going to town, devouring any piece of meat they could get their hands on.

Akame: "I never knew meat could be this good!"

Kuraime: "I know right!? I wish Chief and Guy could have some too."

Cornelia: "Why don't you two put some in a lunchbox and take it into the mountains?"

Dairoku: "There wouldn't be a point. Cause those two would end up eating everything anyways." He answered, with the two Ravenettes gritting their teeth and stabbed their forks into a piece of meat each.

Akame and Kuraime: "He's not wrong!!" They exclaimed together while the blonde just sweat dropped.

Cornelia: "Why don't you two try learning self-control?"

Gozuki: "Well then..." The chaos at the table subsided as the man stood up from his seat. "I'm going to a meeting to discuss our next move. Until I get back, pretend to be normal children. Cornelia, you're in charge while I'm gone."

Cornelia: "Huh? Not Dairoku?"

Dairoku: "I mean, it's four girls and one guy here. I can't exactly watch the four of you everywhere you go. The Hot springs for example." He said with a shrug as Gozuki nodded in agreement. The blonde teen looked back at the man before she smiled and nodded.

Cornelia: "Leave it to me, papa!"

>Chapter 9: Assassins<

Cornelia rose with a quiet yawn, the rising moon's rays shining through the window of her bedroom. Rubbing her eyes, she glanced towards the other girls that shared the room with her, Poney, Akame, Kuraime. The two ravenettes were cuddling together and clinging onto each other. It was how they always slept together ever since they grew to be close friends. They were almost like inseparable sisters, which was ironic considering they both are older sisters and do both look like each other.

Cornelia's thoughts: "Should I go to the bath...?" She questioned herself, looking at the two ravenettes with a smile. "It's almost dawn, so there shouldn't be anyone there." She made her way towards the changing room, where she began to strip down. "I wonder if papa is in a meeting right now. Chief isn't here and since there's more of us girls than guys here, I must step up and be the leader."

With the thoughts of her now being the leader of the Elite for this brief period on her mind, she stepped out to the Hot Springs, ready to take a dip. Before she stepped in, however, she gasped, spotting what looked like a black-haired girl lying in the water, motionless.

Cornelia: "Someone's drowning!?" With her acting on her instincts to help others in trouble, the blonde leaped into the water. "Are you alright!?"

The black-haired girl coughed from the sudden wave of water that splashed on her face before she looked up at the blonde, her lime-green eyes locking with hers. It was only then that Cornelia realized that she had jumped too quickly to conclusions.

Cornelia: "Um.... I was too quick to jump to conclusions... sorry." She sheepishly laughed with a bottle of milk in her hands. Cornelia sat next to Taeko, both now out of the water and in kimonos.
