Akame Ga Kill: The Lost Weapon

Chapter 21: Killing Sorrows

“Bols! Stop!” I shouted running in and slapping him. “I’m sorry,” Bols said, “But, uh…, what was that for.” “YOU WILL NOT HURT THESE CHILDREN!” Blondie shouted running in trying to strike Bols. “Y/n stop.” I said getting in front of Blondie, “Please.” “How’d ya find out?” Blondie said as the armor and sphere disappeared, revealing Y/n on the inside.

POV: Y/n (Kakoshi)

I was shocked that Seryu figured out who I was. “How’d ya find out?” I asked, deactivating my powers, “I’m honestly curious.” “DADDY!” I heard come from behind me as Earl, the youngest child came up and hugged me, followed by his older brother and sister. “Hey buddy,” I said lifting him up, “how’s my strong man doin’?” “Thank you Y/n,” Carl the oldest started, “I thought the big guy was going to kill us.” “OH MY…” Bols started, kneeling to the ground, “I had no earthly idea you three were behind him, I never would have fired had I known you were there.” “Y/n.” Kurome said walking up. “Howdy Kurome.” I said turning to face her.

Kurome simply slapped me. “WHY DID YOU LIE TO ME!” She started, with tears forming in her eyes, “I LOVED YOU!” “Kurome,” I started, “I lied to you because I didn’t want to hurt you. ‘Least not more than I already ‘ave.” “I understand why Y/n,” Bols started, “But I have to ask, how long were you a part of Night Raid?” “I’d say ‘bout a year.” I answered, “Long ‘fore I meet any y’all.” “So you know who killed Ogre?” Seryu asked as I saw that she was annoyed, “Nope” I started, “I was ‘possed to kill ‘em, but some’n else got to ‘im ‘fore I did.” “I see.” Seryu replied, “Then you must find the person who killed him.” “I’ve nev’r broken a promise, ‘ave I?” I asked looking at Kurome.

“Y/n, I hate so seem rude,” Bols started, “but why are you here?” “I came to speak with the kids,” I started, “an’ I want’d to spend time with ‘em. Like a dad would with ‘is kids.” “That’s very admirable.” Bols said, “We were here to feed them and offer them sanctuary in the Capitol, along with positions in the Imperial Army, for the eldest that is.” “I don’t like the idea of them joinin’ the Empire,” I started,  “but it is their choice, an’ he’s got a faml’y to watch after.” “Y/n,” Carl said approaching me with his bow, “There are some deer out, I am going to hunt, I want you to join me.” “I’d be honor’d.” I responded, looking at Seryu and Kruome, “Y’all mind watchin’ the kids?” “Fine,” Kurome started, grabbing my hand, “Just come back.” “I will.” I said kissing her forehead. “So will she be our mommy?” Iris asked looking at Kurome. “Uhhhhh? Y/n?” Kurome said with her face turning red. “An ‘ we’re headin’ out!” I said darting into the woods with Carl.

A few moments later Carl and I were waiting in the woods when I saw something walk up, “Get ready, I see somethin.” I whispered to Carl as he readied his bow. “What is it?” Carl asked as a Land Tiger walked in the area. “Take the shot son.” I said pulling my revolver as Carl shot the beast in the heart, killing it. “Nice shot.” I said, patting him on the back, “Now let’s claim a trophy.” “What will I do with the blades on the side of its face?” Carl asked. “How ‘bout ya make ‘em into weapons?” I suggested breaking one blade off and holding it in my hand, “Seem’s light ‘nough to use as a grass-cutter. I can make it for ya if yawnt my to.” “That sounds great.” Carl said, lifting the beast on his shoulder.

When we got back, Bols took the beast and started to cook it, while I made a grass-cutter for Carl and a necklace for Iris. “Hey Y/n,” Seryu started seeing the necklace, “Who’s that for?” “Iris,” I answered, “got it offa some danger beast I killed earlier today while training.” “Night Raid,” Seryu asked, sitting next to me, “Yeah,” I started, “But I ain’t tellin’ ya who’s a part’a Night Raid, I hope ya understand.” “Yeah,” Seryu started, “I’d be the same, had the situation been switched.” “Why’d ya come in ‘ere anyway?” I asked, “Oh, I forgot, Bols said that dinner’s ready.” “Then le’s eat.” I said helping her up as we joined the others for a meal.

“So Y/n,” Bols started, “When did you get the odd teigu?” “Welp,” I started, “I am a teigu.” When I said this everyone was shocked. “H-h-how?” Kurome asked. I then told them the story of my creation. “So your real name is Kakoshi, you never married, and Y/n was the name of your master.” Bols said. “Yeah,” I said, “Then what about Tatsumi?” Seryu asked, “Was he with you?” “No,” I started, “I thought he was still with y’all.” “No, he disappeared at the same time as you.” Bols said, “We were asked to find him as an alternate mission.” “An’ I pressume,” I started reaching into my pocket, “that the Genr’l wants me dead, label’d a traitor.” “Y-yes.” Kurome said tears forming in her eyes. “None of us wanted to kill you.” Seryu said. “We care for you too much.”

I then stood up, “I’ll take my leave then.” I said walking towards the children. “Iris,” I said kneeling down, “Close yer eyes, I got a present for ya.” “Okay.” She said, closing her eyes. I then put the necklace on her. “Thank you daddy!” Iris said with glee and hugging me, “I LOVE IT!” “Yer welcome sweetie,” I said standing up, “Carl, this is yers.” “Thanks Dad.” Carl said taking his new grass-cutter and hugging me. “Now I want ya to rememb’r this day when ya use it.” I told him turning around to see my former allies. “An’ I want y’all to take this.” “But why?” Bols asked, “You need your revolver.” “Yeah, I will.” I started, “However, it’ll prove that I’m dead.” “Y/n,” Kurome said, hugging me, “I love you.” “I know,” I said returning the hug, “But y’all need to let me die.” “We’ll try, Y/n.” Bols said patting my back, “We’ll try.” “Mimic; Elemental Heart.” I said activating my powers, “Goodbye my friends.” I then left them, heading back to base.
