Akame Ga Kill | Cursed Demon Child

Part 6

Sheele:"Hush now dear....Don't cry anymore, I'm here for you..."

The blind swordsman kept weeping on Sheele's shoulder, her calming voice was identical to Mio.

The love of his life.

After that, he fell asleep from crying his heart out. Not that anyone could blame him for it, he saw his loved one die in the hands of Imperial guards.

Sheele brought him to her room, surprised that she learned that he was actually lighter than he seemed to be. Her mind was cleared, she was happy that she could feel needed again. Needed by Hyakkimaru.

She laid him onto the bed, tucking him in to keep him comfortable. She was about to leave in peace but her hand was held by the unconscious male.

This made her smile, removing her hand from his low powered grip. She places her Imperial Arms leaning on a wall before joining Hyakkimaru in bed.

Blushing lightly, she let Hyakkimaru's hand hug her. Cuddling the two together like a couple would do. She nears his face and whispers to his ear softly;

Sheele:"It'll be all right from now on...trust me..."

A smile never leaving her face was seen as she fell deeper into her place of slumber, without a care in the world.

[ Present ]

Seryu:"Oh? Another assassin waiting to be killed?! Oh how delightful!"

The psychopathic biological imperial Arm user said as she stared at the blind swordsman knelt down. In his arms is Sheele, injured by the bullet wound from earlier.

Mine:"Get out of here, kid! You're gonna get yourself killed!"

She commands him, shooting down incoming waves of Imperial Guard reinforcements from the Empire with her rifle.

Hyakkimaru:"D-don't....leave..."

He manages to let out, making Sheele give him a sad smile. Her hand trails to his cheek, gently rubbing it to remove the dried blood from earlier.

Sheele:"But you have to save yourself....Just ditch me here so I can give you time to escape..."

Hyakkimaru shakes his head, not wanting to leave someone that resembles as the one he couldn't Dave before.

Seryu:"Such a touching moment! Too bad scum like you doesn't need to be happy..! Koro, go berzerk!!"

The monstrous Imperial Arm grew twice in size, its skin's turning red, claws grew sharper and teeth become bigger. Most noticable feature is its bloodlust.

It roared and began to charge at the two assassins. Mine couldn't slow the creature down as the danger levels died down for her, meaning she won't be able to release a much more powerful blast.

Mine:"Idiot! Get out of there already!!"

She shouted.

Sheele:"Please....do it for me.....I promised that everything is going to be all right....for you that is..."

Cupping his cheeks again, she she felt Hyakkimaru's shivering head. He couldn't cry but she could feel the sadness bursting out of him.

Hyakkimaru:"I..."

He closed his eyes, holding both of the raging emotions inside of him. Empowering his will to protect the one most dear to him.

Hyakkimaru:"Promised....to protect you..."

He wraps his arms around her tighter as the organic monster of an Imperial Arm slammed its jaws shut on them both.
