Another Route ( Akame Ga Kill Fanfic )

Volume 1 Chapter 4: Shackles of Guilt IV

So I will be having my exams next week so I will try to write another one more chapter other than this one. I won't be writing until next week so please understand.

Well, without further ado, let's start the next chapter.

...

Red. Blood Red. That was the first thing I noticed when I turned around.Black hair and red eyes. In that instant, I felt as if death had just found me. Fear gripped me by the throat, suffocating me. I was unable to breathe for a moment, but went back to normal when I gathered myself. I had seen her on wanted posters that were found throughout the Capital. She was described as dangerous, possessing experience from her days working as an Imperial Assassin, before she defected to the Revolutionary Army. The posters also stated that she is currently part of an assassin group that was causing trouble in the Capital.

Akame of Night Raid.

So eventually, the more immediate question popped into my mind. Why is Akame here? What does she want. I need to confirm her motives. She is acting very hostile towards. An air of killing intent surrounds her slim figure. Even with all the training and experience, I was unable to stop myself from slightly trembling. I want to exact my revenge as soon as possible, but I can't just do so when there is a third party with unknown intentions hanging around.

"Please, spare me. I didn't anything wrong." the blonde girl cried, hoping to garner sympathy from the two of us. If i wasn't well-informed of the situation, I would have fallen for her trickery.

Neither of us gave any reply to heed her pleas.

"Please, sav-"

"Shut up. You're annoying me." I said. My bangs covered my eyes. How dare she begs for sympathy after what she did to my friends. Had she shown sympathy to them, when they were slowly dying due to her whims?

The blonde girl had now stopped her pleadings. She was trembling. Perhaps she was scared, knowing that she is lurking just outside of Death's door. With Ieyasu's axe still in my right hand, and I turned towards the blonde girl before me. Of course, I ensured that Akame was still within my sights. I can't have her kill me when I wasn't looking. I lifted the axe once again and without hesitation of any kind, I brought it down. The axe sliced clean through her skull, and her head fell apart into two halves, with having her fearful expression still etched onto it. Blood spurted out from the cut and eventually, all of her head was painted red. Since I have finished my business, I headed towards the warehouse, hoping to collect the bodies of my friends. I could already feel emotions beginning to flood into me. I stared at Akame from the corners of my eyes. I am no longer facing her, meaning that she can kill me at this moment if she want to. She didn't make any move to kill me, and eventually her intense atmosphere was dispelled, before she ran off into the forest.

I picked up the corpses of my friends and put them over my shoulders. I grabbed a torch hanging on a wall and proceeded to set the warehouse on fire. With my two friends over my shoulders, I walked out of the door.

Hikari walked out of the backdoor and came towards me.

"Are you don- " he stopped when he saw the two bodies I was carrying. "I'm sorry for your loss."

"Is there somewhere I can bury them?

"There is a clearing outside of the Capital. If you like, I can show you the way."

"Yeah, thanks."

...

We arrived at the clearing. I had dug out their respective graves and buried the two of them. Even after this procedure was done, I didn't leave. I sat in front of their graves, staring at their gravestones, which were just two rocks placed at the front of their grave.

"I'll be over by those trees if you need me." Hikari said as he walked off.

Memories, emotions loneliness starts to flood into my mind. My friends are dead. They aren't coming back. I'm alone, once again. Memories started to flood into me. Tears started to fall. The floodgates opened. I cried.
