Akame ga Kill:Capital Punishment

Chapter 14:Shoot to Thrill

Tatsumi:...The combative force...of the Jaegers that I witnessed.

Tatsumi was back in Night Raids hideout. He was explaining that the Jaegers members are all Imperial Arms users, and that they are skillful.

Leone:They really are all Imperial Arms users. This is going to be tough!

Akame:I can't believe Kurome's the member...

Tatsumi:Why didn't you guys flee the Empire together?

Akame:When I broke away, I invited her naturally. But, my sister chose to stay. As far as she's concerned I'm the traitor.

Akame had saddened face. She was hurt when her sister refused to escape with her. And thinking Kerber was killed. Those two things were devastating. Tatsumi and the rest had sympathetic look.

Tatsumi:Um...maybe it's not that important to say. But Kurome was eating some kind of cookies. Are the-

Akame:They are drugs to enhance her abbilities and to keep her from betraying the Empire.

Everyone was shocked by this. They felt disgusted knowing that the Empire is drugging their assassins to stay loyal to them.

Mine:Akame! I said this before, but even if she is your little sister, if she attacks us, I'm going to fire a shot right through her.

Akame:You wouldn't get to chance to fire at her.

Mine:Why?

Akame:Becouse Kerber would put a bullet in your head.

Everyone flinched at this statement. Mine was terrified by this. She laughted nervously.

Mine:H-Hehe. Forget what I said.

Leone:So, how is he?

Akame:He is resting upstairs. He went unconcious when certain someone almost strangled him to death.

Akame was glaring daggets at Lubbock, who flinched and got beside Leone for protection.

Lubbock:I-I'm sorry, okay! I-I tought it was one of the bandists roaming arround! You can't blame me when he wasn't wearing his purple suit!

Akame gritted her teeth and went for her sword. Leone stood up protectively.

Leone:Akame! Stand down!

Akame them sit down and released her sword. Her face now showing regret.

Akame:I...I'm sorry, Lubbock.

Lubbock:I'ts alright...

Tatsumi:You seem to really care for him.

Akame:Yeah...he is like a older brother to me. He and his sister treated me and Kurome as their family.

Akame hand a fond smile talking about it. She wished that things were different, that they met not like assassins, but like a normal people.

Mine:He said that his sister is the most precious person. Akame...was he always like this?

Akame:No...He was never like this...I...I don't know what happened to him.

Akame then remembered what Mr.X said in the mansion. He said that the King Crimson and some of the Forbidden one's are cursed. They contain the souls of the danger beasts and that they talk to you.

King Crimson is the deadliest of them all. They say it has the devil's souls in it. Akame shivered at the tought of it, Kerber must be influenced by King Crimson.

Leone:I wan't to know how was he back then. Becouse we never have a information about his former squad.

Akame:He was...he was the kindest man I've ever met.
