Akame ga Kill:Capital Punishment

Chapter 6:Alwayz Into Somethin'

Kerber was currently in "The Razor' Edge" with Rip. Rip was drinking Whisky and Kerber was drinking blueberry juice. Again. Rip noticed that Kerber was not in the mood. Maybe something happend yesterday? Rip was hesitant to ask a question, but about minute later he gained the courage to ask.

Rip:What got you in the bad mood?

Kerber stayed quite, not wanting to answer. Rip was determined to make Kerber talk.

Rip:I heard that beheader Zanku was killed last night. I guess it was your doing?

Kerber:...yeah.

Rip:From the sound of your voice, something didn't go right.

Now it was Kerber's time to be hesitant to speak. He still remebered the reflection of his "sister", bad memories resurfaced, but he quickly shut those memories, not wanting to remember his "past" failures.

Kerber:I...i saw my "sister" yesterday. When fighting Zanku.

Rip widened his eyes. He remebered when Kerber told him a story of his former squad and about his sister. Rip was sure that Kerber told him she was dead.

Rip:But...wasn't she killed by the Smith's?

Kerber:She was.

Rip:Then how was she there?

Kerber:Zanku had Imperial Arm and one of his abilities was to create an illusion of a person that is dear to us.

Rip:Oh...

Silence was present between two of them, no one said the word. Remembering yesterday event is painful. Kerber then slammed his glass on the table, startling Rip and gaining the attention of the locals in the bar.

Rip:Hey, Kerber! Calm down.

Kerber:Calm down?

Kerber then grabbed Rip by the collar and brought him towards his face. Rip was significantly taller then Kerber so upper part of his body was over the table. Rip saw anger in Kerber's eyes.

Kerber:How can i calm down when I saw a reflection of my dead sister!? Ha!?

Rip:And you thinkg anger will solve anything?

Kerber:I know what will solve the bloody Smith's!

Kerber then released Rip from his grasp. Rip the started fixing his clothes. Kerber then sat down, slightly calmed down.

Kerber:I apologize for my outburst.

Rip:No need. I understand.

Kerber:While we are on subject of Smith's. Do you have something on Mr.X?

Rip:Aside that you murdered and destroyed his embassy, and stopping him from smuggling guns in to the Kelpies Republic. Not much.

Kerber was in deep tought, finding Mr.X is becoming difficult task, one that Kerber tought it would be easy. He was dead wrong. He then remembered something, or rather someone.

Kerber:What about Elen?

Rip:Heard that she recovered well after your almost killing her. She should be out of the hospital today.

Kerber:Oh. I should pay her a visit.

Rip:Just don't do anything stupid.

Kerber:I won't.

Kerber stood up and proceeded towards the exit, leaving Rip to pay for the drinks and broken glass.
