Akame ga Kill! - Killer of the East

Kill the Faceless! - part 2

Cyrus POV

"Just leave me alone." I said to them, trying to make them back off and give up.

Lubbock sighs. "Listen, all we want is to see your face! c'mon!" He said.

Then a girl, about in her twenties, walks up to me, her blonde hair tied into a certain style.

"yeah! I want to see the young man's face!" She said as she tried to hug me.

"g-get off!" I said as I push her off.

"why are you people being friendly with me?! I just tried to kill some of your comrades not to long ago!" I said, still confused.

Akame, who was sitting two seats away from me, suddenly smiles.

"I can forgive you. if you trust us." she said.

Wait... trust? Was that what they are doing, they're testing if I'll trust them or not? how am I supposed to trust them, I barely know them?!

I sit up.

"Can I leave now?" I ask quickly.

The blonde smiles, "Nope!"

she then hugs me from behind, I could feel two marshmallows push against my back.

"h-h-h-h-hey! get off of me!" I said, stuttering with embarrassment.

they all laugh, why we're they being so nice to me? Was it deceit? were they tricking me? or was this real.

I feel a hand on my shoulder. it's a small girl with pony tails, her pinkish eyes stared into me like nails.

"jeez! stop acting like a stuck up terd!" She yelled into my face.

"Hey! Mine, Leone, leave him alone." said a voice.

I look around and see who had said it. it's a girl with long chocolate brown hair and hazel eyes. she smiled at me.

"I'm Chelsea! nice to meet you, Cyrus." she said and held out her hand.

I look at the hand, and think of whether I should shake it or not. do I really want to trust these people? Will they treat me like they did?

no. don't think that now, you'll break down, I thought.

I look around at the people in the room.

Akame, Lubbock, Tatsumi, Leone, Mine, Susano, and Chelsea. The boss is standing near the entrance.

"what is your name?" I ask.

she smiles.

"I'm surprised you haven't seen my wanted poster. I'm Najenda, nice to meet you." she said.

that's right, she's that famous General who betray the military and became Night Raids leader. I've heard she's tough.

"Hey, you can still shake, right?" said Chelsea, still holding out her hand.

I breath slowly, this is my gamble.

I take her hand. at first, she's surprised, as if she didn't think I would do it.

after shaking her hand, I step back so everyone can see me. and I slowly move my hands to my mask. I unplug a cord, connecting the fresh air tube. a hiss comes as it comes off.

I now have the mask in my hand and open my eyes.

Chelsea POV

I didn't expect this.
