Akame ga Kill! - Killer of the East

Kill the Spy!

Cyrus POV

Maybe hiring a mercenary thief was a bad idea for a partner. But he is a hard worker, so I'll cut him some slack.

This past month were hard for me, I nearly cried every time I was alone, but I touched it out, thinking of better things. I recently heard rumors that a government politician, who was affiliated with the great church, was assassinated by Night Raid yesterday.

Looks like the others are finally moving. I'm glad they can forget, the pain that comes with being an assassin. I've grown to not have emotion anymore, to face my problems with to worry of the outcome.

I think that's why I'm in the capital, playing as a royal guard. Getting close to the palace was easier than expected, tricking people, and gambling my way in.

The one who got me in is standing next to me, we're waiting to meet the prime minister's son, Shura. I've heard many stories of this guy, mostly the bad ones. Who am I kidding, their all bad stories. This guy hasn't done one good deed in his whole life.

Out of the carriage, came out a man with dark skin and a long white ponytail. He grinned at the sight of me and my partner, Kyler.

I met Kyler awhile back, he was a slave and I freed him when I was in the east. He's a trouble maker, but I can trust him.

"Two lackeys come to pick me up?" Shura said with amusement.

Kyler tensed, I spoke up. "I'd appreciate that you come with us to escort you, Lord Shura."

The words tasteful poison on my tongue, even Kyler was disgusted by my words. He has a problem against the prime minister, a big one. He's never told me why he hates him, but I don't try to pick at him.

Shura sighs. "Fine, you'll have to excuse my friends then."

One by one more people got out of the carriage. I watched and took note of all of them. These people weren't your normal government officials. These people... they had Teigu's.

Shura walked in between me and Kyler as we headed up the steps to the palace. The people behind us made little to no noise but the sound of their footsteps. This was bad, I had planned to become close to Shura, making it easier to kill his father, but if these people are gonna be here... Damn, there's gonna have to be a change of plans.

As we got to the actual gates of the palace, Me and Kyler stop as the others passed us. I couldn't help but stare at them, the really fat looking one, the petite looking girl, and the other girl with the big bust.

Me and Kyler retreated to our study inside the castle, or in other words, a royal guards barracks. We shared a room, and the rooms were sound proof, made it easier to make plans without anyone hearing us.

"We need to change plans." I said as I sat at the table in the middle of our room. The armor I was wearing was a bother, I'm usually in my overcoat, and not having it on made me feel naked.

Kyler smirks. "What? Getting cold feet are we? Got a plan B?" He asked.

I sigh, looking at the documents we had collected. I grab the files and shove them into a locker, and a photo comes out, sliding onto the floor near Kyler's feet.

The photo was of Me, and the others, all huddled together, me in the middle with a big smile on my face. That was the photo taken after my first mission, I still had some bandages on from my first fight with Nox. The thought of Nox made me clench my fists.

Kyler looked at me with sorrow. "You need some time...?"

I sigh with anger. "It's nothing, just a memory." I scoop up the photo and shove it into my pocket. Just a memory huh? Yeah right, who am I kidding, this photo was everything to me. All of us together, smiling and cracking jokes.

We walk out into the lounge, and two other royal guards are chatting about something.

"Yeah, they call themselves Wild Hunt, saw it with my own eyes, man! a bunch of killers!" Said one of them.

"What about Wild Hunt?" Asked Kyler.

The guard looked grim. "Looks like Shura got some company, their called Wild Hunt, made to hunt down and kill Night Raid in support of the Jäegers."

Me and Kyler flinched. The man sighed looking out the window.

"The files are right there, take them if you want." Said the guard, taking out a cigar and lighting it.

Kyler grabs it and we both retreated into our room, quickly spreading them out on the table. Reading one report on them to another... this wasn't a job just for me and Kyler.

"We need them. We need Night Raid if we're gonna pull this off, Cyrus, and you know it!" Kyler said, pointing at me. He's trying to make me see them, so make me smile. He's a good friend.

"They'll just end up getting hurt-"

Kyler grabbed my collar. "That's what a family does, isn't it? They get hurt for their siblings. Just like you'll take a blow for them, they'll take now for you."

I looked at the ground. I didn't want to make them help me. I didn't want them to take a blow for me. I wanted them to be safe, to work on the rebellion, while I worked inside. But I knew that this is gonna be impossible with Wild Hunt, The Rakshasa demons, and The Jäegers.

Kyler gives me a punch in the shoulder. "Plus. Haven't you been training? Your stronger than before, Cyrus. Hell you can take on Esdeathe and be equal with her! We can do this, but I'm not fighting unless we gonna win, okay?" He said encouraging me to make the right call.

I knew it was the right call, but what will they think of me now? I haven't changed on the looks factor, but on the inside, I'm more serious than I was before, or maybe that's because I'm not near them? I don't know anymore.

Kyler smiles at me. "Besides. Didn't you say that you'd introduce me to your girlfriend?"

I flinch. I was trying not to think about Chelsea, but the thought of her sent pain and a kind feeling into me. Damn, I wanted to see her so bad. But does she even feel the same anymore? She probably forgot about me, moving on.

I sigh, looking out the window.

"It's your call, boss." Said Kyler.

I look at Kyler, his red hair going over his eyes, and his medium sized build, his pinkish eyes. Looking at him you wouldn't think of him to be a mercenary.

"Damn. I can't say no to that face." I said, Kyler beginning to smile.

looks like I'm heading back. It's been a month, there's a part of me that silently knows that something will be different from before.
