Welcome back! I apologise for the wait as I've had trouble bringing myself to finish this :P but hey, i tried to make this one slightly longer so hopefully thats a sufficient repayment for your patience. Enjoy!

"There it is. Our target is in there" said a focused Mine, eyeing a mansion through her snipers scope. The day was upon them. The preparations had been made and it was time to exact vengeance upon the residents who dwelled within. All Night raid members, apart from Sheele who decided to stay at headquarters for this mission, were perched atop a web like construction of Lubbock's cross tail and stood ready to infiltrate and annihilate the mistress of the house, Aria.

Akame stood with them although not with the same intent. The members of Night raid are here to kill while Akame is here to find a long lost friend. Tatsumi. She remembered specifically that this was the day that they had recruited Tatsumi after he displayed his tremendous animosity towards Aria and killed her on the spot.

Akame remembered every little detail of this day, right down to the number of people killed, and so she knew everything that can, and will, happen. She felt that this gave her a sort of unfair advantage when going into fights but did not object to be able to kill something. Akame has refrained from speaking of the future and what will happen to Night raid as the last time she did, they passed it off as a madwoman's ramblings and refused to listen to her. This had a serious effect on Akame's attitude as it meant that if she couldn't explain everything them, then she was doomed to relive the past and all the hardships that came with it.

After what felt like forever the attack was underway with a loud "GO!" from Bulat and each of them jumped down from the web of wires before surrounding the mansion from either side. The servants of the house were notably alarmed by the noise and were on guard, patrolling the gardens for the perpetrators. Akame spied a group of them from the cover of the foliage and only a single thought crossed her mind. "Eliminate" this thought seemed to also slip of her tongue into a sort of loud whisper. What followed was a bloody spectacle almost too fast to comprehend. The servants made no noise as they were cut down by Murasame before the life left their bodies.

The resulting feeling was something Akame had not felt in too long. The rush of combat, the thrill of the kill, using Murasame because she could... all these things made Akame feel incredible! For a moment she felt she would lose her mind to this feeling but was quickly brought back to her senses by the panting of a running male. "good" she thought "i need to feel that again!" she quickly leapt up to a nearby tree to scout for this mysterious runner and what she saw made her heart skip a beat.

There, running through the forest towards a storehouse, was Tatsumi. He looked completely different then the last time Akame had seen him. Which was almost years ago! He looked a lot more... frail and sickly then what she remembered, probably due to the fact that he hasn't been trained yet. As Akame looked on, tears started to come to her eyes but were swiftly wiped away. I can cry to him face to face once this is all over, she thought.

Her train of thought was interrupted by what seemed like an old man's groans from inside the house and the shots of Mine's Pumpkin sniper ringing through the air. Leone and Mine must be having fun.

Once Tatsumi was almost out of sight, Akame felt now was the time to follow him. She leapt into the trees of the forest and swiftly bounded after him. She knew what awaited her. Aria, their target, a single servant and Tatsumi would be in front of the storehouse, prepared to fight.

She found them. Aria was in front of the 'storehouse' and was telling Tatsumi to fend off Night raid. This sickened Akame to see her best friend be ordered around by a deranged torturer and would not stand for it one bit. She landed onto the ground, Murasame in hand, and lifted her head towards Aria.

Tatsumi was the first to respond. He turned to face Akame before drawing his sword and saying "i guess i have no choice!" Akame was shocked. Not at how Tatsumi had challenged her without hesitation but at the accuracy of the events taking place.

She really had travelled in time.

Aria seemed confident about using Tatsumi as her veritable human shield but Akame knew that there was only one outcome to this encounter. She rushed at Tatsumi, seemingly to stab him, only to bound off of his head while saying "we'll talk later".

Instead of Tatsumi, she rushed down the servant. He shot wildly at Akame but to no avail as she dodged the bullets with unparalleled finesse. once she was upon him, she whispered "Eliminate" before slicing through the servant with a nimble strike. Akame did not know why she kept muttering Eliminate when executing targets but thought that it must be an instinctive thing, since she had not done it in so long.

Akame began to run down the events about to take place in her head. She would go over to Aria, with Murasame held over her head, and Tatsumi would intervene which would lead to an undesired skirmish. However, she knew what Tatsumi would do if she showed him that his friends were tortured by this girl, she also didn't want to have to fight the person she has waited too long to see again.

Knowing this, Akame dropped Murasame to the ground, much to Tatsumi's surprise, and pointed to the storehouse. "open it" she ordered "your friends are in there"

Tatsumi felt extremely intimidated by her words and so, did as she said. The sight inside was nothing new to Akame. Desecrated bodies laying on the ground, each of their features undistinguishable from the last. One of them, Tatsumi's friend Sayo, was strung up on a hook. Dead.

The events taking place after that were predictable. Tatsumi was stricken with grief for his fallen friends, almost as much as Akame was when she was a wanderer, and exacted revenge against Aria by promptly slicing her across the chest.

Something was missing though... when Tatsumi finds Sayo in the storehouse, there was supposed to be another one of his friends in there... but there wasn't. Interesting...

Leone landed behind Akame. "you all done here?" she said "or did you forget this kid?" Akame stopped her before she could attack Tatsumi and went over to him herself. What happened next shocked Leone and Tatsumi both. Akame collapsed onto Tatsumi with tears flowing from her eyes while lightly hitting him. No knew what she meant, but she kept repeating. "you promised me! You promised me!"
