Akame ga Kill! - Killer of the East

Kill the Smoke!

Tatsumi POV

watching those two go at made my spine crawl. Each blow was like a yell in an argument being said, each blow getting stronger. They clashed swords so fast, all me and the others saw was a blur and sparks flying from their blades.

Cyrus separated from the attacks and got some distance, but Akame was already closing that distance. I hope she knew if she cut Cyrus, he'd die. I don't want my training partner to die!

Cyrus suddenly laughs, "I thought you were the famous Akame! Show me what you've got!"

Cyrus was right about something, he was way too confident. When me and Lubbock saw him and Chelsea kissing I nearly bottled up in embarrassment myself. But Lubbock cheered his friend on, he's a good guy.

Speaking of Lubbock, he stood next to me, watching with intent. It looked as if he were trying to piece together what they were gonna do next. Or he was just concerned for Cyrus being cut in half.

Doya appeared from behind us, "What's all the racket?" She asked, making Lubbock jump. he'd always act kind of weird around Doya, as if he was trying to avoid her.

"N-nothing really." Lubbock says on autopilot.

I punch his shoulder, "What do you mean! Cyrus and Akame are fighting!" I'm frustrated that he said that.

Lubbock apologized. He turned his attention back to the fighting, as did I.

Cyrus charged Akame, slashing at her legs, which she blocked and tried for a stab. Cyrus dodges it, and hits Akame with the butt of his sword, right in the face. Now she has a bloody nose.

They separate, then stare at each other. I could feel the murderous intent in both of them. They both suddenly threw their weapons to the side, and ran at each other. Looks like their fighting hand to hand.

Cyrus lands the first blow on her hip, then she lands one on his shoulder with a high kick. Cyrus grabs her leg after impact, and picks her up with pure strength, throwing her. She lands, but loses a bit of balance, making Cyrus have a wide open hit in her stomach.

Akame gagged, on her knees, clenching the hit. But she didn't give up quite yet, she quickly grabbed his leg, and made him trip. While on the ground, Akame pinned him down, as punched him square in the face. But she didn't stop, she kept throwing punch after punch. Never stopping.

Each time Cyrus tried to get back up, but his head would slam into fist and ground after every time he had a breath. But what sent fear in me was when Cyrus suddenly stopped moving, and Akame kept punching. Akame had tears in he eyes, punching none stop.

Chelsea ran into the field, and tackled Akame off, so did Susano. Akame struggled at first, saying that they were intervening with the fight.

"You stupid-" Chelsea's face was that of rage, but I could tell she wasn't just angry at Her, but also at Cyrus for going with it.

Akame looked confused, but then realization hit her when she saw Cyrus on the ground.

Me, Lubbock, and Doya ran out onto the plains, this had gone too far. Cyrus was getting around when we all got there.

He looked up at us with a bloody nose, and grinned.

"What? did I just Shit out a golden egg or something?" He said with a smile.

I went up to him, "You let her win, didn't you." I said.

Everyone, including Akame stared at Cyrus, he just looked at the ground, his face covered by shadows. "Yeah... so what." he muttered.

Chelsea slapped him, hard. I could hear that one probably from the base. Cyrus looked up in surprise.

"Don't do stupid things!" She yelled at him. "Or I'm not giving you anymore suckers!"

"Nooooo!" Cyrus yelled in despair.

Akame then walked up to him. "Why did you let me win?" She said with a frown.

Cyrus laughs bitterly, looking out at the sunset. "Because revenge isn't everything, Akame."

Everyone seemed surprised by his words. Before he looked as if he was gonna gut Kurome and sell her internal organs on the black market. Hey, I'm serious, that's what it looked like.  D:

Cyrus got up, with help from Lubbock. "You can do whatever you want, Akame. But know this-" He looks at her in the eye.

"If she kills anyone here... I'll even kill you to get to her." He said with a dark voice. We've all seen his dark side before, but this sent chills down my spine. No one ever says things like that to Akame, but she seemed to take it well. She just nodded, and put out her hand, to shake.

Cyrus smiles, so does Akame.

"Friends?" Akame asks.

Cyrus takes her hand, shaking it, "Friends."
