I was sitting on a chair barely conscious. Mine and Akame tried their best to stop the bleeding while Lubbock used crosstails to sew huge tears on my muscles and flesh together. I was too exhausted to even register the pain.

"Hey is Sheele and Leone ready?" Mine asked.

"Sheele can barely walk." Akame said.

"Her walking will be the least of our worries. He looks so pale." Lubbock said.

"You need to stop making stupid decisions." Mine said, "But thank you for saving Sheele."

"Anytime." I said trying to focus on the conversation.

"Yo! We are ready. Let's head out quickly." Leone yelled holding on to Sheele with Najenda behind her. I use one arm and try to lift myself up. I fall back on the chair as my strength failed.

"Easy." Lubbock said, "Akame help him." Akame nodded and grabbed my arm, wrapping it over her shoulder, and lifted me. I stood for a total of three seconds before my legs gave out. Mine quickly grabbed my other arm and lifted me.

"My... My book." I said. Akame moved my coat and grabbed it.

"How do I use it?" She asked.

"O... Open it... While... While thinking about what you want." I said. She opened the book and the key appeared. The key flew forward and a door opened.

"You sure you can get these two to where they need to be?" Najenda asked.

"Yeah Boss I got this." Leone said.

"J... Just get... Get me inside. I... I have helpers in the... In the library." I said. Leone and Sheele look at me for a moment and I nod at them, "Go." The two walked through the gate.

"You better come back alive." Bulat said patting my back.

"I... I ain't dying today." I said as Mine and Akame walked me to the gate, "I got it from here." I said walking a bit forward. My legs gave out and I was beginning to fall only to be held up by someone. I looked at the hand that gripped the front of my shirt. They were completely out of the view of the rest of Night Raid. I knew who it was that grabbed me after all who else has bones for hands, "Death..." I mumbled as I was guided in.

"Let's talk."

I was in the library sitting on a chair Leone holding on to Sheele near a wall, in front of me. Death paced in front of me, I was struggling to stay up, "Hey! Don't fall asleep on me." He said his skull very close to me, "So... This is the girl you saved." He asked quickly appearing in front of Sheele. Leone looked like she was ready to punch him, but even I could feel the ominous murderous aura surrounding him, "Well barely... You seem to be knocking at my door." He said turning to me, "You changed her fate. Interesting choice. Unlike those Time Lords I'm not all to worried about the quote on quote flow of the universe. After all we made a deal." He said walking around me.

"What deal?" Leone asked.

"Don't worry it isn't anything bad. He can save anyone he wants from their fate all he has to do is one favor for me per life." He said getting close to me again.

"What... What do you want?" I asked. He walked towards Leone and Sheele again.

"The sword Murasame. I want you to replicate it's curse and give it to me. Refuse and I take her soul right now." He said raising his hand and reaching for Sheele.
