Akame Ga Hunter Chapter 13

Chapter 13 Weapon Whirl

Tatsumi slowly woke up feeling something laying on him, as the memories of last night returned to him, he remembered who it was and realized it was Esdeath. ‘I slept with the enemy, I actually slept with the enemy.’ he thought as he slowly rolled to the side causing Esdeath to be sleeping next to him instead of being on top of him. It took a little work but he was able to sleep out of her death grip without waking her up, as he got out of the bed and looked down at the women he got a good look at her nude figure, her beautiful skin, amazing breasts and her peaceful smile on her face. ‘Why do the crazy bitches have the hottest bodies.’

~o~

Tatsumi made his way to the main meeting room of the Jagears, where one guard told him that it would also be the place where he could get some breakfast. 'What the hell am I doing?' Tatsumi asked himself, 'I should just leave, I can bust anytime but..but...but why aren't I...and why can't I stop thinking about Esdeath and last night?' Tatsumi then made it to the door for the meeting room, 'Maybe some food will help me clear my head.' as he opened the door he saw a massive stack pancakes on the table. "What the?"

"Ah you're awake," said Bols as he came out wearing an apron and holding a plate of pancakes, "I wanted to show my appreciation, so I made pancakes, I hope you're hungry."

Tatsumi eyes the stack of pancakes and sparkling syrup. "I sure am, wait you made all of this?"

"Yep, for you and the whole team."

"Whoa Pancakes!" yelled Wave in delight as he and Run entered the room, "Is this for us?"

Bols nodded, "Yep."

Run smiled, "Then we should probably eat our share before Kurome shows up."

Tatsumi and wave nodded and quickly sat down and began to eat away at the pancakes, while Run took his time to enjoy the tasty treat with some manners before the others quickly arrived and as predicted Kurome quickly began to eat stack after stack of pancakes.

The last to arrive was Esdeath as she was surprised to see the breakfast, "Oh my what's the occasion?" she asked.

"I just wanted to show my thanks for Tatsumi for figuring out my Rubicante's power," said Bols as he grabbed his Teigu and shifted it into it's hammer mode and pointed it at a set of candles in the corner of the room, the flames from the candles soon leaped into the air and were absorbed by the hammer, leaving the candles unlit. "For years now I have been worried I accidentally start a forest fire, or burn some crops or even accidentally burn one of my comrades, but now that I know I can undo them all with this hammer mode, it feels like a massive weight has been lifted from my shoulders."

Esdeath nodded, "That does make sense." as she slowly walked around the table to Tatsumi, trying to walk as normally as possible but it was clear to those who had experience that Esdeath was indeed bow legged after a night of fucking. As she sat down and got a plate of Pancakes she leaned over to Tatsumi, "Why did you leave me alone this morning?"

"Sorry I was hungry and you looked like you could use the sleep," he whispered back trying not to get the attention of the others.

"Hey Tatsumi," Wave raised his hand, getting his attention, "Do you think you could check out my Teigu to see if it has another form?"

'No absolutely not, you all work for a tyrannical government and you're all crazy, and I'm crazy for sticking myself into crazy,' is what Tatsumi thought and wanted to say but instead what came out was, "Sure I wouldn't mind taking a look at your weapon."

Dr. Stylish huffed, "Don't bother, it would be a waste of time, several people including myself have looked at the Teigu, chances are you wouldn't find anything." as he spoke he was unaware of Kurome stealing food off of his plate.

"Well that certainly might be the case if a second rate craftsman is looking at them." said Tatsumi smugly.

Dr. Stylish took his plate and dumped the pancakes into Koro much to Kurome's horror, "I'm sorry are you calling me a second rate craftsman." he asked with a clear edge in his voice.

"I mean if the bolt fits." Tatsumi said as he took a bite of food.

Dr Stylish gave a slight huff, "A country bumpkin like yourself can't even comprehend my craft."

"We'll see," said Tatsumi before he looked at Esdeath, "Hey you got a place that's big enough to run some tests around here?"

Esdeath smiled, "In fact we do."

~o~

The mood at the Night Raid hideout could be best summarised as worry, each member was worried what was happening to Tatsumi. Most of them decided to dive straight into training with Sayo taking the lead, trying to teach them the best she could, but there were some issues as Mine, Lubbock and to some extent Leone couldn’t train as well with their respected Nen type but Sayo tried her best to give them the best advice she could offer. “Hey where’s Akame?” asked Sayo as she noticed she hadn’t seen the assassin in awhile.

Mine tilted her head slightly, “She was here a moment ago,” she then activated her En, “She over near the cliff.”

Sayo activated her own En and found Akame, “I see her, I’ll go check on her, the rest of you take five.” as Sayo then quickly ran across the land to the otherside of the HQ, as she got close she saw Akame sitting behind a tree looking out in the distance.

As Sayo got closer she heard Akame muttering something dreamily, “Tatsumi…”

“Am I interrupting something?”

Akame gave a cute squeak, before quickly straightening up and cleaning up her skirt, “Sayo, when did you get here?”

“Just now,” said Sayo as she moved closer and sat down, “I guess I did interrupt something.”

“NO!” she said quickly as her face just turned red, “I was just…um…it was…I’m sorry.”

“Sorry for what?” said Sayo, confused.

“Well…I don’t know,” admitted Akame as she didn’t know why she was apologising. “I just wish Tatsumi was here.”

Sayo put an arm around Akame, “So do I, so do I, but you should relax, he’s a big boy, he can take care of himself.”

“I know, I guess, I’m just frustrated, I should have confronted him by now.”

“Don’t worry you will.” said Sayo reaffirming her friend.

Akame returned the smile, “Thanks.” She said before giving Sayo a full quick kiss on the lips.

Sayo blinked for a moment as her brain needed a moment to catch up to what just happened, “Akame, why did you just kiss me?”

Akame tilted her head, “I thought it’s what I should do, it was in the book Leone gave me, since we’re sister lovers.”

Sayo raised an eyebrow, “And please tell me what book did she give you?” On the other end of the base, Leone felt a chill up her spine.

“Did I do something wrong?” asked Akame.

Sayo shook her head, “No, but I think when Tatsumi gets back we’re all going to need to have a little chat.”

~o~

The Jagears soon found themselves outside in the colosseum with Tatsumi and Wave in the center, "So what do you think he will discover about Grand Chariot?" asked Run

"Nothing," said Dr. Stylish as he quickly shot down the idea, "This will be a waste of time."

"Dr. Stylish," as Esdeath called his name in a dangerous tone, "How about you give them a minute to prove themselves." her words silencing the scientist and everyone else around her. "Besides, we're not the only ones interested in this." as she gestured above as some high ranking officials.

In the center Tatsumi was waiting for Wave to demonstrate his teigu while having another mental crisis, 'Okay calm down Tatsumi, you're just getting more info on the enemy, that's it, you're not trying to help them, even if their weapons are really cool, just act natural.'

"Uh Tatsumi," as Wave got his attention.

"Huh, yes Wave, are you ready?" Wave nodded, "Okay then first things first what is your teigu called?" asked Tatsumi.

Wave smiled and held up his blade, "Behold Grand Chariot." as he spoke the words he activated the blade causing the silhouette of a massive armour to appear before he was encased in light revealing a blue shining armour.

Tatsumi's eyes sparked in amazement, "That's so cool."

Wave posed in the armour. "I know, fantastic isn't it, it makes me a one man army, it's even better than the Incoursion."

"Better than the Incursion?" said Tatsumi, slightly confused as he had seen the Incoursion and knew what it could do.

"Ah right, you've never seen the Incoursion armour, I guess you could say it's the prototype to my Chariot armour, though from what I heard all it really can do is turn invisible." explained Wave.

"Can your armour turn invisible?" asked Tatsumi.

"Uhh no, it can't turn invisible." stated Wave.

"Well maybe if you switched modes it could do something else."

"Switch modes?"

"Yeah, switch modes." repeated Tatsumi as if it was obvious.

"Uh I don't have any modes to switch into." said Wave.

Tatsumi blinked for a second waiting to see if Wave was joking, "Wave power down for a second."

"Uh okay." as Wave complied and returned his armour in his sword after he did Tatsumi gave a slight hop into the air and gave Wave a chop to the head, "Owww, what was that for?" asked Wave as he rubbed his new bump.

"Can someone get us a horse?" asked Tatsumi, the colosseum was silent for a moment before Esdeath repeated the order and within a minute a horse was brought before the two of them. "Okay get on and activate your Teigu."

"What but I'll crush the horse." yelled Wave as he didn't want to hurt the horse.

"Just do it."

"uhhh," Wave mistakenly looked over at his fellow Jagears and the glare of Esdeath was enough for him to do what he was asked, he got onto the horse, "I'm sorry Mr. Horse," as he gave it an apology which just made the horse confused, "Grand Chariot."

As he called for the power of his Teigu something different happened as the Silhouette appeared and covered wave it then spread over the horse, splitting the armour and covering the horse, after the light died down Wave was now on top of the horse only partially covered in armour leaving his face expose and he was now holding a spear in one hand while the horse he was riding was now suddenly covered in armour.

"What the?" yelled Wave as he looked down at the horse.

"No way." said the Doctor who was still in disbelief.

"It looks like Tatsumi discovered something." said Run

"It's horse armour." stated Bols.

"Impressive." said Esdeath, she then noticed the other officers were also impressed. "I wonder if this means it can do something special."

"Wait a minute I don't understand," yelled Wave on top of the horse, "How did you know?"

Tatsumi gave him a deadpan look, "Huh? Are you fucking kidding me, your Teigu is literally called Grand Chariot, how the hell did no one think it might have something to do with horses."

Wave blinked for a second, "That would make sense wouldn't it."

"No shit." yelled Tatsumi as he slapped the horse's ass causing it to make a loud noise before bolting.

The horse flew around the field like a bolt of lightning, it was clear as day that the teigu boosted its speed, making it hard for a majority of the people watching to keep track of it. "How do I stop this thing?" yelled Wave as he held on for dear life.

"Just slow it down like a regular horse." Yelled Tatsumi.

"How do I do that?"

"What do you mean, don't you know how to ride a horse?" asked Tatsumi.

"Yes, but I'm in the NAVY!!!'"

"Eh," Tatsumi's face froze for a second, "The guy from the Navy has the horse riding Teigu."

Even the other members of the Jaegers were dumbfounded by this news. They didn't know what to say until Kurome got an idea, "Wave just deactivate the Teigu." she yelled.

"Wait, that's a dumb idea." Yelled Tatsumi.

"That's a great idea." yelled Wave as he hadn't heard Tatsumi, he deactivated Grand Chariot causing him and the horse to go flying in the same direction they were headed, "OH SHIT!"

Esdeath quickly jumped down and made a path of ice with a mound of snow at the end, "Ice Slide."

Wave and the horse both hit the floor of ice before hitting the snow mound. Wave stood up, "I'm okay," before the horse in a panic pushed him into the ground and stepped on him running to the other side of the colosseum. "I'm not okay."

Run and Bols went over to help it up, as Wave was helped up everyone could see the new hoof print on his back which made Kurome stifle a laugh.

Tatsumi glanced over at Stylish, "Soooo all your weapons have been thoroughly inspected huh?"

The doctor felt a vein pop on his head, "Dumb luck doesn't count boy."

"You're right, luck had nothing to do with it, I just knew what a damn chariot was." said Tatsumi with a grin infuriating Stylish.

"Boys, stop." said Esdeath, cutting off whatever remark Stylish was about to say, Tatsumi was tempted to push as he wasn't all that scared of Esdeath but decided against it. "Now then is there anyone else that would like Tatsumi to look at their Teigu?"

Run left Wave to Bolsa as he walked over to Tatsumi, "I suppose it wouldn't hurt if he took a look at my Mastema." said Run as he made his Teigu sprout wings on his back."

"Wow, that's impressive." as Tatsumi began to inspect the wings on Run's back, 'I see the wings come from these two discs but these aren't feathers, no their more plant like than anything as their quickly able to regrow new feathers after new ones are lost, the shape of the disc also seems to hold some sort of power.' Thought Tatsumi as he looked it over, "I have a question, do these discs have some sort of repellent ability?"

Run was a bit surprised with him, "Yes, it's Mastema's trump card to repel attacks, it also gives me a speed boost as well, how did you know that?"

"The shape of the disc and the engraving told me so, you can tell a lot from an object based off of its shape alone."  said Tatsumi as he continued to look at the disc, 'Though there's something far more dangerous here, I shouldn't tell him about that.' Tatsumi took a step back, "Well if you already knew that then I don't think their much more for me to tell you."

"I see," said Run as he stored his wings, "Thank you anyway for checking."

"No problem." said Tatsumi giving Run a smile while also ignoring the new smug face on Stylish, "Anyone else want me to take a look at their weapons?"

Seryuu wanted to but she looked over at Stylish who was still a little angry, "I better not, how about you Kurome, would you like him to check out your Yatsuba?"

"It's Yatsufusa," Corrected Kurome as she ate a cookie, "And no, my teigu is pretty straight forward so there's no need-"

"What did you just say?" interjected Tatsumi as he looked right at Kurome, "Did you just say Yatsufusa, as in the unkillable general Yatsufusa."Unkillable general?" Kurome tilted her head, "I'm not familiar with any of it's past users but the teigu I wield is Yatsufusa."

Tatsumi quickly walked over to her, "CAN I PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT IT?!"

Kurome was shocked at first by his sudden forwardness but one look from Esdeath told her she had to, "Alright but be careful with it."

Tatsumi carefully took the black blade before setting it down on the bench, he then took out a small tool box from his pocket and began to inspect the blade.

"Where did the tool box come from?" asked Wave.

But Tatsumi didn't answer him as soon as everything but him and the blade were remaining. Tatsumi in one swift movement swiftly took of the pommel of the blade unwrapped the hilt of it's outer layer, before holding the blade up, hitting his wrist to loosen the handle before removing it.

"Hey don't break my sword!" shouted Kurome as she was about to take it back but Esdeath held her back.

Though it wouldn't have mattered as Tatsumi had finished removing the handle revealing the tang of the blade. On the Tang were several strange markings as the rest of the jaegers stepped forward and saw them, "What in the world?" as Stylish looked at the strange markings, "I've never seen this before."

Run looked at the markings and saw they were also on the inside of the handle, "I've never seen markings like this before, what language is it?"

"I've never seen those before, were they always there?" wondered Kurome.

'No, they only appear when a bit of nen is applied, and the symbols are nothing but gibberish unless you know Gyo, which reveal the message on the blade.' thought Tatsumi as he held the blade carefully, "This is the blade of Yatsufusa."

"Is Yatsufusa a name of someone?" asked Esdeath, "You did mention a general by that name."

Tatsumi looked at the Jaegers, "Oh yeah, all of you guys are from this country so you probably haven't heard of it but far East theirs a tale of a mighty general who wielded a blade, it was said that as long as he led his men into battle with this blade they could never die."

"They must have been zombies then." stated Kurome.

"What?" asked Tatsumi, confused.

"That's what Yatsufusa does," said Kurome, "It allows me to turn any of my enemies into puppets."

"Ohh, you can use the forces of evil and turn them into soldiers of justice." said Seryuu with sparkles in her eyes.

"But that's not what it says here." said Tatsumi as he activated some nen into the blade, 'This should lessen the deaths for this war.'

"Wait, can you read that?" asked Run.

Tatsumi then quickly reassembled the blade. "Esdeath, I need a few soldiers."

Esdeath was surprised for a moment, "You're not thinking of sacrificing our soldiers are you?"

Tatsumi shook his head, "No, I just want to show what the Yatsufusa can really do."

Esdeath thought it over for a moment, "Very well."

It only took a few minutes but five foot soldiers were in front of Kurome, all of them looking nervous. Tatsumi then got a small bucket in front of the soldiers, "Alright, I need you guys to cut your hand and put your blood in this bucket."

The soldiers looked at one another as none of them really knew what was going on, "You heard him, put your blood in the bucket now." order Esdeath.

The soldiers then quickly cut the palms of one hand and began to pour it in the bucket. "Okay that should be good." said Tatsumi as he then kicked the bucket to Kurome, "Now stick your blade in the bucket."

"I don't really see any point in this." said Kurome but she did as she was asked and stuck Yatsufusa into the bucket when she did the blood began to absorb the blood. "Huh, Yatsufusa is eating the blood." Soon the bucket was empty. "I never knew it could do that, does that mean it can drain blood from my enemies, I think my sister had a blade like that once."

"No that's not it." said Tatsumi as he went over to one of the soldiers, "I guess we really just needed one of you, but may I see your sword please." One of the soldiers took out their blade and handed it to Tatsumi. "Thank you." Then without warning Tatsiumi then swung the blade at the soldier, cutting his hand clean off.

"AHHH!!" screamed the soldier as the other went on alert and reached for their weapons.

"Tatsumi!" yelled a panic Wave. "What the hell man?"

"Relax," said Tatsumi as he dropped the blade and raised his hands, "Kurome, activate your ability."

"My ability?" Kurome tilted her head, "You want me to summon one of my zombies?"

"No, don't summon, just activate that blade."

"But nothing will happen."

"Just do it!" ordered Tatsumi.

"Fine," Kurome then focused and activated her Teigu for a moment she expected nothing to happen like when she first didn't have any puppets to control but instead she felt a warmth from her blade, soon eight red tassels extended from her blade to the soldier.

The soldier, now on alert as the tassels approached him, wrapped around his arm before reaching out and grabbing his severed hand bringing it back to the arm, reattaching it. Soon the light faded, leaving the soldier bewildered, "My arm, it's back to normal, I don't even feel any pain."

"See I knew what I was doing." said Tatsumi which earned a glare from the soldier he had cut the hand to.

"You cut off my hand you bastard," he yelled, "What if it didn't work?"

"Oh then I might use you as a prototype for my artificial hand I've been thinking about making." said Tatsumi causing the man to mutter crazy while he backed away from Tatsumi. "Anyway yeah, Yatsufusa is...Kurome?"

The other Jaegers looked over and saw silent tears streaming down Kurome's face, "You're lying."

"Huh?" Tatsumi wasn't expecting this reaction as he looked at the girl, "Uh Kurome, you okay."

"YOU'RE LYING!" yelled Kurome as she became frantic as she hung her head, "There's no way, that isn't what Yatsufusa was made for, I make puppets out of my enemies, I don't, I DON'T HEAL!"

"Kurome?" spoke Wave with concern.

Tatsumi blinked and stepped forward, "Uh look I don't know what the real problem is, I mean you can still use the puppets if you want-"

Kurome dropped her blade and looked at Tatsumi while her eyes only showed horror and sadness, "But then that means I could have saved them....that means...I let them die....I could have....I could have..."

Esdeath walked up to Kurome and brought her in close, allowing the girl to cry on her shoulder, "It's okay, it's okay." spoke Esdeath softly as she rubbed Kurome's back.

Tatsumi then felt bad as he remembered the stories Akame had told him, they had lost friends and this entire time she was wielding something that could have prevented that. "Kurome...I'm-"

Tatsumi was stopped as Bols put a hand on his shoulder and shook his head. "Sometimes people need to cry and I do believe now is one of those times."

"Come one Kurome," as Esdeath began to walk Kurome out of the colosseum, only stopping to pick up Yatsufusa, "Let's go and get you a snack."

"I'm not hungry." grumbled Kurome through her tears.

"Come now, we both know that's a lie." said Esdeath with a slight smile.

Tatsumi was genuinely surprised with how much care Esdeath was having for one of her own, 'I have seen some shitty people since I got here, but I guess their is some humanity left in them, maybe enough I can work with, maybe.'

~o~

Tatsumi was then left on his own while Esdeath made sure Kurome was okay, so he decided to explore the castle. He thought the least he could do was some recon but he had one problem, his guide, "You have no idea where you're going do you?"

"Uh well, I'm sure it's this way," said Wave as he pointed down the hall, "I think."

Tatsumi sighed and looked at the other person in their trio, "Please tell me you know where we are?"

Run laughed, "I'm afraid not, this is the first time I've been stationed here, I thought this would be a good time to become familiar with the castle."

Tatsumi gave them a deadpan stare, "So none of us know where we're going."

Wave hung his head, "I'm sorry, Esdeath told me to take a walk to clear my head, I didn't think we'd get lost."

"Clear your head?" asked Tatsumi.

"Yeah from what I heard, he was bugging Kurome trying to make her feel better." explained Run.

"I can somewhat imagine how she feels," said Wave as he became deep in thought, "If I was just fast enough I could have saved my friends, if I had a teigu like Kurome I could have saved them and she unknowingly had that ability the whole time, it must be eating her up on the inside."

Run placed a hand on Wave's shoulder, "I understand, if I had that power then I too may have been able to save those who were dear to me, but I'm afraid it is too late for that, right now the best we can do is be there for her without smothering her."

"I guess you're right." said Wave.

Tatsumi looked at the two, "Wow you two are nice guys."

The two blinked at him, "What do you mean?" asked Wave.

Run gave a side smile, "I see, so you've met the dark side of our country, have you? Well I assure you that not all of our country is like that, and I'm afraid this war has just made things worse."

"What do you mean?" asked Wave confused.

Tatsumi gave him a look of disbelief, "You're kidding right?"

Run gave a slight laugh, "I'm afraid he isn't." as he began to start walking again and gestured for them to follow, "You see our country is large and because of that not many people, even those in the military haven't seen the darker parts that this country has," As he said those words they made their way to an opening to the outside terrace where they all smelled fresh flowery air, "Though if you look through it all you'll find something quite beautiful."

As they walked outside they came upon a garden more beautiful then they'd have ever seen, even Tatsumi was impressed by it, even if flowers weren't his thing. Though something foul quickly ruined the mood, 'Something so beautiful, just to please this bag of lard.' he thought as he looked over at two figures.

"Who are you three?" asked the child.

The three of them blinked for a moment before Run quickly made an elegant bow, "I do apologise Emperor, we got a bit lost showing our newest member around."

"Newest member?" asked the child Emperor as he looked over at Tatsumi who looked back confused, "Oh you must general Esdeath new lover." Tatsumi blinked, "Wait THIS KID IS THE EMPEROR!!!"he shouted in surprise, which earned him a quick slap in the back of the head from Run before he forced Tatsumi's head into a bow. 'Wow, I'm not fighting back but Run is surprisingly strong and quick.'

"Please forgive our friend's rudeness my lord, he's still learning his way around the place." said Run apologetically.

"Yeah he's just an idiot." said Wave trying to help.

"You're one to talk," said Tatsumi as he quickly freed himself from Run's grip. "Anyway I'm sorry, I'm new here and I wasn't expecting someone so young to be emperor, I mean when you think of an Emperor doesn't someone like him with the beard come to mind." as he pointed at Honest.

Prime Minister Honest blinked for a moment before his lips curled into a small laugh, "I suppose most would see it that way wouldn't they," said Prime minister Honest being honest, "But I'm surprised someone from our country doesn't know who the great Emperor is."

"Well that's easy, I'm not from this country." said Tatsumi plainly, earning a slight look of horror from Run and looks of surprise from the Emperor and Honest, while Wave was just confused by the looks of surprise. "What, didn't you guys know that already?"

"No, general Esdeath failed to mention in her report that you were a foreigner," said Honest.

The Emperor narrowed his eyes Tatsumi, "I don't like the idea of a foreigner working so closely with our own, what qualifies you to work for us?"

Tatsumi thought for a moment, "Nothing really, I'm a blacksmith, not a warrior, I only learned how to fight so my travels would be easier. I don't really think-"

"But you've already helped us." interjected Run quickly, 'I have to think of something quick to keep him here or else if he leaves Esdeath might kill us.'

"Run's right," said Wave, "With your super blacksmith knowledge, you've already helped us discover things about our Teigu that we had no idea about."

Really?" muttered Honest as he looked Tatsumi, 'This little brat looks like nothing much but if it makes Esdeath happy I suppose it wouldn't hurt to keep him around for a little bit, if he helps with Teigu studies then all the  better.' Honest leaned down to the Emperor, "My lord I do believe it would be in our best interest to trust in Esdeath's judgement, I believe she has earned that much at least."

The Emperor thought it over, "I suppose you're right."

Tatsumi eyed the boy, 'He completely caved the moment Honest spoke up, he really is nothing more than a puppet to that man, I guess now would be as good a time as any to eliminate him.' Tatsumi slowly raised his hand while activating his nen, the moment he did he felt something wrong, 'What the hell is this feeling, it feels like death itself is right here, is it my nen warning me, no this is my instincts, my own instincts are telling me not to activate my nen, but why?' Tatsumi looked around quickly with his eyes and activated Gyo, before his eyes landed on Honest, more specifically above him, above honest was a floating purple eye that was looking right at Tatsumi. 'What the hell is that? That's not nen, what the fuck is that thing?'

They all looked at Tatsumi who was failing to hide his shock as he looked at Honest. "Tatsumi, is something wrong?" asked Run.

Wave placed a hand on Tatsumi breaking him out of his head, "Yo, Tatsumi you doing alright?"

Tatsumi looked back at the eye above Honest that was still staring at him, "Yeah yeah, I'm doing....yeah..."

The Emperor took a step back, "Is he alright?"

Before anyone could respond they heard an ear piercing scream "AAAAAAAHHHHHH"

They all looked in the direction of the scream, "What was that?" asked Tatsumi who was on alert now.

"I don't know?" said Run

"It sounded like Seryuu." said Wave as he started running back the way they came. "Come on."

"Right." said Run and Tatsumi as they chased after Wave, as they ran Tatsumi looked back and saw the eye  watching him leave. 'I don't know what that is, but it sure as hell ain't nen.'

Honest watched as they left, 'I don't like the look in that boy's eye, my son and his wild hunt better get here soon.'

The three of them quickly ran down the stairs back to the Jagears meeting room as they ran down the hall they saw as Koro busted down the door with part of it's fur on fire. Bols quickly came out and with his Rubicante in hammer mode sucking up the fire from Koro's fur.

"Bols what the hell is going on?" yelled Wave.

Bols looked at them, "Well uh-"

"HOT!" yelled Stylish as he ran out of the room holding some ball that was glowing a bright red, "HOT HOT HOT HOT, IT'S GOING TO BLOW!"

"WHAT?!?" yelled the three.

Tatsumi quickly realized that the ball Stylish was juggling was a big bomb. "THAT's A BOMB!"

"EEEEHHHH!!!!"

Tatsumi quickly looked around as he could tell it was about to blow. He rushed forward and grabbed Koro and opened its mouth, "Quick in here."

Stylish quickly tossed the bomb into Koro's mouth and together with Tatsumi slammed Koro's mouth shut as the bomb went off causing Koro to expand like a balloon to the size of the hallway, everyone stood their stunned as they looked at the giant dog thing that they noticed was glaring daggers at Tatsumi who promptly leg of Koro's lips causing smoke to flood the room from Koro's mouth.

All of them coughed as they breathed in the smoke, "What the fuck was that and why'd you have a bomb?"

"That was a bomb!" yelled Esdeath voice from the room.

"Don't worry, it wasn't properly armed, so the yield was dramatically cut down." answered Stylish.

"What is going on?" asked Tatsumi as he ran into the room.

"WAIT!" shouted Bols but it was too late.

Tatsumi went into the room soon followed by Run and Wave. "What happened.... here?" asked Tatsumi with the last word making him lose his voice as he saw several parts and weapons all over the room but what caught his attention was in the center of the room, a completely naked Seryuu who was trying her best to cover herself, but doing a terrible job as she fumbled with her limbs. “Uhhhh?”

Kurome quickly jumped in front of Seryuu and hit Tatsumi in the head with a brom, while yelling “PERVERT!”
