Akame ga Kill: Rising Tension

Family Must Take Sides

Kohei and (y/n) have both advanced to the final fight of the tournament. Now the tournament was just between family. The referee held his hand up above the two teenage boys one 17 with orange hair with equally as orange eyes, a built frame. 5'11'' and 160 lbs. of pure muscle. This was Kohei. The younger of the two was 15, and had silver hair and red eyes, and a bit more muscular than his brother, but only 5'7'' and 147 lbs., was (y/n).

???: Ready?

Kohei: as i'll ever be.

(y/n): down to this is it?

Kohei: yes but i'll be the one walking away with the money. You know my merchant stand needs a new wheel.

The referee's hand sliced down and both boys took to the sky with great leaps and began throwing punches and flinging kicks. but none landed its intentional spot before it was blocked. when they both landed they leaped backwards and lunged at each other. In a spit second the air was split in a flurry of fist and feet. Every hit landed on its desired target. They both leapt back sweating and bleeding in different spots. Kohei punched his fist together and bowed to his younger brother.

Kohei: I know when I've been beat. Enjoy the prize money, Dad would have been proud of you, not so much me though. See ya around.

And with this He walked off the platform and disappeared through the tunnel to go home.

(y/n) shook his head and chuckled

(y/n): You let me win, you where actually winning.

He wasn't paying attention and the one who started this, Esdeath, put a hand on his shoulder, causing him to jump. at this time Kohei came back through the tunnel dressed in his casual wear and not his white sleeveless GI suit. He leaned up against the wall of the tunnel.

Esdeath: Your very tough, no hesitation fighting people twice your size and even family, now for you you prize.

(y/n) scratched the back of his head and smiled until he heard a click he opened his eyes and struggled with the collar around his neck that Esdeath had placed and she began dragging him towards the exit to the palace until Kohei began walking towards them.

Kohei: what's the meaning of this the prize was money not thi-

Esdeath held up a heeled boot and kicked cutting him off and sending him into a nearby wall on impact a small crater formed. Blood spurted from his mouth, and from the cuts that were now open a revealed from the now tattered shirt and ripped pants. His left arm shattered an he started gagging before he began breathing properly again. but all he could do was watch through one half opened eye and hold his arm as his little brother was dragged to the palace now unconscious.

((from in the stands))

???: so the one who was kicked into the wall is the one who is you think should be recruited to night raid.

???: yep plus he gives me discounts on his homemade ale. It's illegal you know.

???: yeah i think iv'e also seen him at the bookstore a couple times, now that i think about it.

???: plus there's the advantages he has. look at his hand that"s not all mangled.

They all looked at Kohei who was still in the same spot watching the way they had taken his brother. His hand had burning Gauntlet around it, an imperial arms named Inferno.

???: Then there's the fact that his merchant stand goes into the palace once a month.

???: we need to talk to the boss about this.
