Chapter 1: Help! I'm Being Kidnapped by Two Beautiful Girls!

A/N: Hey guys! It's KenzoXShuyita with another story, meaning I had another moment where I was like "OH, I NEED TO WRITE THIS!" Well, kind of. Akame Ga Kiru is such a good manga (now an anime), but there are hardly any stories online. It's surprising. So I felt that I needed to contribute. Kind of. Okay, maybe not really; I just wanted to write this story and have fun.

Oh, by the way, Naruto is not weak. No, I repeat: Naruto is NOT weak. But he's not exactly overpowered...or at least I'll try to not make him super overpowered. Then again, Teigu users are all overpowered, right? Oh, before I forget to mention, Naruto is not from the Elemental Nations or anything like that. Nope, he was born in the world of Akame Ga Kiru, so no strange Kurama in his stomach or anything like that.

This chapter had an issue where no one could read it when I published it. Sorry about that, readers. But please, do me a favor, blame . It wasn't me.

Anyway...

Hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Akame Ga Kiru or Naruto. I'm not saying this again.

Chapter 1 START

"Woah! This is the capital?" one boy said in wonder, his eyes feasting on the sights of the city. It was obvious it was his first time in the capital; any person wearing a clothing style similar to the boy in question would easily be defined as a "country bumpkin" of some kind. The location didn't matter. The point was that he wasn't from around here, and that made all the difference. At least, to a certain girl sitting nearby drinking her coffee calmly, and yet wary of her surroundings, it mattered.

She listened silently as he spoke to himself about his outlandish dream of saving his village, and she took another sip from her cup of coffee as she watched him trying to enlist in the army. When he was forcibly thrown out of the registration building, she took that as her cue and stood up.

Placing a kind, innocent smile on her face, she began her act.

"Hey," she called out. When the boy turned around, she continued to walk closer until she was right above him. This was a move on his psyche; she knew he would be looking at her breasts. Men these days seemed to have a one track mind. The worse the capital became, the more horny men became. The days of gentlemen were gone; their numbers were so sparse, they may as well have been extinct.

And just like she had expected, he was blushing as he stared up at her from his position on the ground. Well, even she was proud of her large breasts.

When he stood up, she took on a playful, yet wiser position as she spoke from what she gathered from her scrutiny.

"You look like a boy from the country searching for adventure. Well…if you want to join the army and be in a higher position…"

In the end, she convinced him to buy her a meal…and she scammed him for all of his money as well.

(Time Skip: Night time)

"I can't believe this. I don't even have enough money to go to a hotel because that "Onee-chan" took all of it," Tatsumi complained to himself as he sat against a building, planning on sleeping against it for the night. It wasn't too cold, so it wouldn't be too much of an issue to sleep without any extra layers. The only problem would be if the capital didn't like people sleeping on the streets.

"Hey, can I join you?" Tatsumi looked to his left and found a blond teenager looking at him. Three features immediately struck Tatsumi. The teen had spiky blond, platinum colored hair, deep, blue eyes, and what seemed like a triplet of whiskers on each cheek. After that came the rest of his features. For example, the clothing the blond teen looked like clothing available only at the capital; Tatsumi may not have been in the capital for very long, but he can make discernments quite easily.

The blond was wearing a white jacket with a black hood, with a blue T-shirt underneath that seemed to be made out of silk. As for pants, the boy was wearing black slacks that stopped at the shins. And lastly, he wore black combat boots that went up to right below the end of the pants, so a minimal amount of skin was actually shown. The boy also had no weapons in view, so Tatsumi relaxed a touch, dropping his shoulders by a marginal amount.

"Sure. But why?" He asked warily. He had, after all, just been scammed of all of his money. The blond teen sat down next to Tatsumi, sliding down the wall with a sigh of content as his legs were finally able to rest.

"Hmm…I heard a rumor and wanted to test it. By the way, name's Naruto." Before Tatsumi could ask "what rumor", the sound of a carriage and a few voices made him stop.

"Again princess?" A tired voice asked.

"I can't help it; it's just in my nature!" A girlish reply retorted immediately. Tatsumi saw Naruto smile in his peripheral vision as the sound of light footsteps came closer to them. When the two looked up, they both saw a girl with an expensive, frilly dress.

"Did you two come from the country?" She inquired, a bright smile warming Tatsumi and Naruto.

"Uhm…yeah." Tatsumi said truthfully. People had been treating him somewhat differently because of his status as a country boy, but he wouldn't go back on his roots for some stupid haters. Prejudiced bastards, the lot of them.

"If you don't have a place to stay, do you want to stay at my house?" Tatsumi's distrust was made plain with his next response.

"I don't have any money." He replied with the obvious.

"You wouldn't be here if you had any," the girl quipped in a strangely happy tone. Naruto just assumed that she liked having people over at her house.

"You should just accept her goodwill," one of the guards supplied helpfully.

"Lady Aria can't leave people like you alone. The sooner you accept, the sooner we go home." The other guard stated honestly.

"Well, if he doesn't accept, I will. I want to see what's so good about a 'bed'," Naruto said. "Plus, I heard they were bouncy."

Everyone ignored the blond's last statement. Tatsumi raked a hand over his hair and sighed.

"I…guess I'll accept. Thank you." A house of any kind was better than sleeping on the streets.

The girl just giggled and nodded her head.

(Location: Lady Aria's Mansion)

"Wow," both boys mouthed when they entered the mansion. The outside was amazing by itself, but the inside was just blowing them away.

"Oh, did you bring some people again, Aria?" a man asked from a table inside a large kitchen. The two boys turned over to the sound and saw Aria already next to the man who was sitting with a beautiful woman. They immediately assumed that the two were Aria's parents.

Tatsumi was confused. How could some parents be so calm about their daughters bringing people home to a mansion? He looked over to the guards in slight trepidation. How strong could these people be that the masters of the house showed no signs of worry? Tatsumi looked over to Naruto to see if the blond was worried, but the blond around his age seemed to be extremely immersed on evaluating the furniture and the antiques that were in plain sight all around the house.

"These people are really rich…I wonder if they need all of this," Tatsumi heard the blond mumble to himself. He hitched a breath and began to sweat; the blond wasn't as quiet as he may have thought, because Aria's father began to laugh heartily.

"We may be rich, but we would prefer to keep everything we have. How about you two boys sit down at our table?" The two complied, although Naruto gave a longing look at one of the antique pieces. The rest of the family watched as the blond reluctantly drew his eyes away from a certain vase and then finally walked over to the table and sat down next to Tatsumi.

"Tea is set, dears. Please enjoy yourselves," the mother said with an eye-smile. The two teens smiled at the mother and nodded their heads politely, but neither drank from their cup. Tatsumi didn't, because he had a question, and Naruto didn't because he was back to looking around.

"Um…I'd like to ask…is there something I can do to join the army?"

Everyone's eyes were immediately on the country boy; Naruto's eyes continued to look around the house with an interested gaze.

XShuyaX

(Time Skip: Ten Minutes Later)

"I see. You wish to enlist in the army to save your village, and this requires you to start to start off in a higher position. And you state that you are at least Captain class, am I correct?" the father asked.

"Hai!" Tatsumi replied unwaveringly. He had absolute belief in his skill; he knew there were people stronger than he, but he had time to improve. Captain class wasn't even that powerful compared to some people out there. There were people in the General class by sheer strength, and then some people that were even more powerful by other means.

"I see. But you must understand that inside the capital, it may seem peaceful, but outside these walls is a hell that you would be subjected to every day you are enlisted in the army. Are you prepared to be exposed to the horrors of war and partake in them directly?" Aria's father asked seriously with his cup raised to his lips. He took a sip when Tatsumi didn't respond for a few seconds.

"I'm…prepared for that. I'm willing to do whatever it takes for my village!" He said, sounding more and more certain of himself the more he spoke.

"I see…you have good spirit, like a young man should!" He stated with goodwill.

"Did you come by yourself, Tatsumi?" Aria asked all of a sudden, breaking the somewhat serious atmosphere. Tatsumi hesitated at the question.

"We were a group of three, but we got separated." He replied slowly, caught up in a trance.

"Huh? What about Naruto?" She asked, her curious gaze now on the blond, who was now kindly staring only around the kitchen area. His straying eyes went to Aria the moment his name was called, but he didn't say anything. The blond kept a calm, composed gaze on the girl that continued to curiously stared back.

"I didn't know him until when you came and allowed us to be in your house for the night."

"Hmm…interesting," the father said, running his hand through his moustache slowly. "And Naruto, would you join the army?" Said blond turned his gaze to the man and tilted his head.

"I'll do wherever I end up being," he replied nonchalantly. "I wasn't really planning on doing anything, but if I joined the army, I think I would be interested."

"Really? You would be interested in watching your own brethren in arms die? You find killing people interesting?" Aria's father asked in a rightfully disbelieving tone. Naruto's eyes widened in surprise as he continued to hear the description of the army and war.

"Oh, is that what an army does? They die and kill? No, I would not like to join the army." The whole family laughed; this boy was interesting. It was their first time having a boy like Naruto in the house. They may have had a few that looked around the house, but never was there a teen boy or girl that completely blocked out the conversation.

"I see. That's a normal response. But if you had joined the army, do you think you would be in the Captain class like Tatsumi-kun here?" Naruto drew a finger to his chin and looked up to the ceiling…or more specifically the chandler above him, and hummed in deep pondering.

"I would probably be the water boy," the platinum-haired teen suddenly replied in a completely dead-serious tone, not moving from his thinking posture. Everyone in the room resisted the urge to face-fault. However, their surprise and disbelief at the bluntness of the blond were made clear when Aria's mother and father both choked on their tea, Aria herself stifled her giggles, and Tatsumi just gave Naruto a stare that said 'I cannot believe you just said that'.

"However, I would be an extremely deadly water boy. All of you would either underestimate me, leaving me with one opportunity to kill…and one opportunity would be all I need. Or, I do something similar to what I did right now and make my opponent make an involuntarily reflex at something I do, and that would give me an opportunity to slice through the neck." A silence descended in the room as Naruto's previously calm expression turned into a serious one, his lips curled downwards in a frown as his eyes became slightly shadowed from his bangs.

"Then again, I have no idea what I'm talking about," Naruto suddenly stated honestly, his serious expression breaking into a smile. The rest of the people at the table let out a nervous chuckle and smiled half-heartedly.

"…Anyway, thank you all so much for letting us stay! Is there anything I can do to help?" Tatsumi suddenly asked, trying to break the awkward atmosphere that the blond had created; Naruto was once again looking around the house. He intentionally said "I" because Naruto could do what he wanted; Tatsumi wanted to state as clearly as possible that he didn't know Naruto at all. Aria took this opportunity to completely try and break the awkwardness.

"Sure! Why don't you be my bodyguard tomorrow? And Naruto? Could you be my water boy?"

"Sure," both boys answered immediately, both very serious. It seems the blond didn't quite catch the teasing in Aria's question.

XShuyaX

(Time Skip; Midnight)

"It wonder if Sayo and Ieyasu made it to the capital…this is really frustrating…" Tatsumi mumbled to himself, his head resting on his hands as he lied down in bed. Suddenly, the sounds of hinges squeaking and wood shaking was heard through the wall from the room next adjacent to Tatsumi's.

"By Kami! Beds are so much fun! Are these things really meant for sleep?" Naruto stated excitedly from his room. Tatsumi just groaned; sleep would be hard to get tonight. A long night was in wait.

XShuyaX

(Time Skip: Next morning)

"Mornin', Tatsumi!" Naruto greeted in a hyper tone. He had probably one of the best times of his life, considering the smile that was itching up to his ears.

"Mornin'. I know that I won't know you for much longer, but in the future, please do not jump on the beds. It's extremely disturbing," Tatsumi mumbled silently. Then, he walked past the blond and yawned right when he was turning a corner.

"And when was the last time I gave two shits for what people thought about me?" the blond stated to himself flippantly as he followed after the sleepy Tatsumi. "So, let's see. A normal person needs about five bottles of water a day…how much is a bottle? Hmm…I'll just take five gallons. Kami knows I need it!"

XShuyaX

(Location: Shopping District)

"I want to get that, too!" Aria exclaimed with stars and hearts in her eyes as she zoned in on the newest fashion of clothing. Behind her were her exasperated bodyguards and men holding up a pile of at least twelve boxes of other items and extraordinarily expensive goods she had bought earlier in the day.

Naruto was next to the excited girl with a large supply of water…of which he was drinking of majority of. He had started the day with five gallons. What the hell was Naruto thinking? When he had first seen the blond lugging around that much water, Tatsumi just gave Naruto a blank stare for a few seconds, and then turned around and walked away, whispering to himself when he was a sufficient distance away –

"That kid has some serious quirks."

And out of the five gallons, the blond had already drank three. The water was literally evaporating!

Tatsumi was taken out of his current thoughts of a certain irksome blond by a tap on his shoulder.

"Hey, look up," one of the guards whispered into his ears. When he complied, the guard continued. "That large building you see there," indicated by a finger pointed past his face to a ridiculously large palace-like building, "-is the palace." The boy widened his eyes in amazement and wonder, much like the night before from his exposure to Aria's mansion.

"What? That's the palace! It's HUGE!" If he thought Aria's mansion was large, the palace made her place look like a playground. And a small one at that. "So, is that where the emperor resides and rules the country?"

"No…" Tatsumi looked over at the guard, who had given a slight pause to give emphasis to his next words. "It's a bit different than you think. The emperor is a child right now, and the one ruling from the shadows is the Prime Minister, and he's the one making his country rot." By the end of his statement, the guard's voice was hardly audible. But the facial expression on the man never changed; it was completely serious and filled with truth.

Before the sword-wielding teen could respond, he was silenced by the guard.

"Hey, don't make too much noise, or you may end up like the others…with your head rolling on the ground." So Tatsumi remained silent, but his anger was made clear with his expression and his clenched fist.

"So the reason why my village is suffering from such high taxes…" he said slowly and angrily. The answer was obvious now. The guard remained silent for a few moments to let the boy think about it before he decided to continue the conversation in a different direction.

"But there are people like them as well," he said quietly, thumbing at a few posters that said a name, had a picture, and declared where the wanted criminals' loyalty lied: Night Raid. "It's a group of assassins that conduct their attacks during the night…and they mainly target the wealthy. So do yourself a favor and be prepared just in case tonight."

"You got it!" Tatsumi exclaimed.

"And do yourself another favor and be quiet, like I said before. Oh, and why don't you help the little princess over there."

"Ha-hai," the boy replied in a much more sober and quieter tone as he paled when he saw the ever growing pile of goods.

"Want some water?" the blond asked, suddenly popping up behind Tatsumi. Said boy didn't even turn around in favor of staring at the top of the pile of goods.

"No thanks."

Naruto shrugged and walked away, taking another sip of water. Sip, as in the equivalent of a carton. Naruto looked back at the other teen that seemed about his age and saw sweat glistening on the back of his neck. He stopped for a few seconds, deciding whether or not to give the boy water anyway…but then decided not to. Water was a precious resource, and those that didn't want it didn't need to have any.

XShuyaX

(Time Skip: Night time)

Tatsumi opened his eyes from his slumber. Something in the house felt wrong. The darkness from the lack of light suddenly felt malicious.

'This feeling…is it bloodlust?' He thought to himself as he grabbed his sword and ran out of the room. Without a second of hesitation, he ran into Naruto's room and found the blond…not there? Whatever, that wasn't his issue. Running along the corridor, he found a window and saw them. The group, standing against the light of the moon, were all staring down from a set of wires.

"Night Raid!" He exclaimed, recognizing a few of the faces. Suddenly, two of the figures on the wires disappeared. Looking down, he saw three of Aria's bodyguards warning the girl and the person in the armor, but it was immediately ignored. The girl flashed forwards and…all three men fell to the ground. They were completely destroyed in just seconds!

"What…the hell?" A cold sweat broke on his forehead and the back of his neck. His survival instincts were telling him to run away, but the family had given him a place to stay! They were the first good people he had met in the capital! Making his decision, he ran all the way down the corridor and through the maze that the house was until he found the entrance.

"I'll at least protect Aria-san!" he declared in determination. He sprinted across the lawn and the garden until he caught a glimpse of a few bodyguards running in a circle. In the center was the girl he was looking for. Checking which way they were running, he deduced they were going shed quite a ways from the mansion, so he began to sprint.

"What's going on?" Aria squeaked, her voice filled with worry and trepidation.

"We're running to the far-off shed. Hopefully, you'll be safe there," one of the guards replied, although he didn't turn to look back at the girl.

"Safe from what?" A certain blond asked. This time, the guard looked back and said –

"Night Raid." Before Naruto could reply, a shout across the lawn caught their attention.

"Aria-san! I found you!" All of the guards, Aria, and Naruto turned to find Tatsumi panting, most probably from sprinting across the lawn.

"You've come at the perfect time! Stop the enemies for as long as you can while we take Aria to safety!" the guard that told Naruto that Night Raid had come ordered.

"WHAT?!" Not a moment later, the girl Tatsumi recognized as 'Akame' from the wanted posters landed in a crouch with her sword at the ready. The teen instinctively pulled out his sword and got into his stance, forcibly throwing all wavering emotions away so that he could fight at his full potential.

"Not a target." And with that, she disappeared, only reappearing once to step on his shoulder as a stepping stone to reach her next target: all of the remaining bodyguards. "Eliminate."

By the time Tatsumi turned around, all of the bodyguards were dead, their fresh blood sprayed across the grass like red dew. And the murderer of them all was standing in front of Aria, her sword raised. Tatsumi charged, and he would've made it in time, but Naruto stopped Akame himself by kicking her on the side, making the girl miss by a slim centimeter. Akame flipped away after missing, expertly performing the acrobatic motion before landing a few meters away from the group of three teens.

"Did you forget I'm still here?" the blond asked in a bored tone. "Or is it just that since I wasn't doing anything, you didn't realize I was here?" The girl assassin stared at Naruto, then at Aria. She was on the grass on her bum, giving Naruto a thankful expression.

"You're not a target," She said to Naruto. Akame then turned to Tatsumi. "And neither are you. However, if you continue to get in the way of my targets…I'll eliminate you," she finished in a low, deadly tone, letting her threat linger in the air.

"…Okay, you can have her." Naruto conceded, sliding from his position so that he was no longer in front of Aria.

"WHAT?!" Aria and Tatsumi screamed at the same time. Aria's thankful look immediately shifted into one of surprise and fright. Tatsumi just gave the blond a glare before sprinting in front of Aria and standing in front of her protectively in Naruto's stead. Akame…just nodded.

"May I ask why you are so compliant is disregarding your companions?" Akame asked, still with her monotone tone. Naruto just shrugged unconcernedly at the question.

"I only knew them for a day, so there aren't any real ties between us. The girl's family may have given me a place to stay for a little while, but I like sleeping in trees more, so it doesn't make that much difference to me. And besides, my life is more important than hers. At least, in my perspective it is. I'm just covering my own ass." Naruto explained without a pint of shame in his voice.

"Fine, then I'll protect her!" Tatsumi roared as he dashed forwards in engage in swordfight against the expert assassin. Naruto and Aria both watched quietly as Tatsumi fought courageously and with all of his strength…but it was obvious who was going to be the victor. The girl just had so much more skill and expertise with her blade. Every motion had a meaning and was so graceful compared to Tatsumi's desperate thrusts and parries. Add to the girl's skill the fact she incorporated kicks and punches to throw her opponent off-guard, it was clear the victor would be decided soon.

"Tatsumi!" Aria screamed when the boy was kicked. She saw the blade nearing his chest…and then striking it. "TATSUMI!" She screamed again, barely preventing herself from running over the fallen boy.

"Keh keh…seems like it really did save me. Thanks, old man," the swordsman said to himself as he forced himself to his feet. "You know, if you were an assassin, shouldn't you have killed me instead of letting he stand?"

"You're right…I'll rectify my mistake immediately." Akame then dashed forwards, her sword reflecting the moonlight of its deadly edge.

"Wait, wait! You guys want money or something, right? Then at least let this innocent girl go! We're not even on the battlefield!" However, the girl ignored his pleas and went in for the cut on the neck…only to be stopped by the girl that scammed him the day before.

"What are you doing, Leone?" Akame asked, not at all disturbed by the fact her final strike was interrupted.

"We still have time, right? Just give me a few moments," she said. Akame nodded curtly and dropped her sword to her side.

"Wait, you're the boob!" He exclaimed. Men and their horny nature, see? Leone just smiled and giggled playfully.

"Yup! I'm that beautiful Onee-san from that day!"

"Oh. Is that you, Onee-san?" Naruto called out from the side. Leone turned her head and her smile immediately widened.

"Oh, is that you, Naruto?" The blond grinned, his canine teeth fully visible.

"It is you! What are you doing her - hey…on your back…is that what I think it is?" Naruto asked excitedly, completely forgetting all about his suspicions for why she was here. Leone smirked and pulled the package on her back carefully off of her and pulled out…a vase. "Yes, we have the same taste in antiques!" The blond exclaimed, suddenly rushing forwards to reach for the vase. However, the vase was suddenly lifted into the air, too high for the younger blond's reach. "Hey, don't use your height to your advantage!" Naruto whined before making a pout.

"It's okay, Naruto. Just give it a few years and you'll grow," Leone said cheekily.

"Um…how do you two know each other?" Tatsumi asked, feeling like a sideliner at the moment. The two turned to him at the same time and said –

"He bought me clothes two days ago/I bought her clothes two days ago!" The two were sporting identical grins, although for probably very different reasons.

'So…she basically scammed him two days ago.' Tatsumi thought to himself. 'What am I supposed to expect from Naruto? Does he even realize that he got scammed?'

"Hey, Naruto. Give me a moment, okay?" Leone stated as she walked towards the shed. Naruto nodded his head, dropping his grin and taking on a serious expression. He knew what Leone was doing. Naruto didn't understand how Tatsumi didn't smell it since they were so nearby. Death. Lots and lots of death. It was putrid and sickening, foul to his nose, and somehow, Tatsumi didn't realize it until he was just about two meters away from the shed. When Leone kicked it, all of the family's atrocious actions were made public.

"Wha-what is this…what the hell is this?"

"This is the truth of the capital. And the lies they spout to hide their actions is what we unravel…and sometimes as a result murder. You can't call her innocent, young lad. Not after this. Their family brings in unsuspecting victims and tortures them for pleasure, to test the limits of human perseverance and strength…but all in the wrong way. And if we hadn't come…you would have joined all of these corpses."

"Well, he would've been a corpse today if he didn't have that random thing on his chest protecting him from that sword thrust," Naruto helpfully supplied from behind the two. Akame's blade was at Naruto's neck in an instant as she leaned in on the blond.

"You want a cut?" Naruto raised his hands nervously in a calming gesture.

"I'd much rather live, thank you very much." The two stayed completely still; Ayame kept her blade at his neck, and Naruto tried not to move so that he wouldn't be cut. A few, endless seconds later, the girl slowly lowered her blade and continued to look on into the shed. The boy inside was now talking to one of the live persons that had been tortured.

"-Sayo to death!"

When the bloody boy's accusation struck clear through the silent night, Aria became to shake.

"What's so wrong with that?" She broke away from Leone's hold, and her grip on sanity broke free. "You're just a bunch of country hicks, worthless and trash! I should be able to treat you however you want, just like cattle!" Aria then focused on Saya, the girl that had died by her hands. "And she! – that girl was so impertinent for having such straight hair for a farm animal, even when I'm troubled by unruly hair! And so I made her suffer perfectly, meticulously, and gratefully! She should be pleased I took such good care of her!"

The disgust on everyone's face was clear as day in this silent, cloudless night.

"A bunch of sadists who take the guise as Samaritans…I'm sorry for getting in your way, Akame."

"I will eliminate her." Said girl replied in a monotone, but there was an undertone of clear anger.

"Wait."

Tatsumi's order was clear as he slowly stood up, letting go of his friend's hand as he slowly walked towards Aria, his eyes shadowed by the darkness.

Leone gave a disapproving look at Tatsumi. "Don't tell me you're defending her again."

"No." He suddenly lifted his face so his expression could be seen clearly by Aria. He dashed forwards and sliced his sword through her whole upper body, cleaving her in two.

"I'll kill her."

"Ah?"

And then the pain came, and her death quickly followed. There's a saying that what matters is how a person dies. If that's the case, the last expression she would see was one of rage. The last feeling she would feel would be that of pain. And the last sight she would see would be that of the dark sky above, no different from the world inside her closed eyes as she died. A sad, hopeless death that no one would mourn about.

And a few moments afterwards, Tatsumi's close friend died as well in his hands. Ieyasu's last words were -

"-keep it…real." At least, that was all Naruto heard.

Silence. Then –

"What the hell is wrong with the capital? Can't there be something we can change about it?" Tatsumi spoke softly, letting his grief take over. His close friends…gone. His dreams and ambitions for the capital…gone. And his outlook on the capital itself was now completely destroyed and shifted that everything looked black. All of his plans and hopes were turned on its head as the truth barreled him.

Suddenly, a hand gripped his collar and he was pulled backwards, away from Ieyasu's corpse, harshly.

"Wait! I have to bury their graves!"

"Oh, don't worry. We'll take their bodies later!" Leone replied reassuringly.

"WHAT?!"

As the three were walking towards their group…well, two, plus one being dragged on the ground, they stopped in front a certain blond with blue eyes with his arms crossed over his chest. The two parties stayed still as a slow wind past the groups…and then –

"What do you want, Naruto? Oh, let's take him, too!" Leone concluded happily as she rushed Naruto and grabbed his collar. As a result, the two boys were now dragged on the floor together.

"Is this what you wanted, Naruto?" Tatsumi asked, a neutral expression on his face.

"Nope. Is this you wanted?" The blond asked with an identical expression.

"Nope."

"…"

"…"

"I'M BEING KIDNAPPED! I DON'T WANT TO BE AN ASSASSIN!" Naruto began shouting. Akame placed her blade against his jugular again to shut him up.

"Do you want to join us or die? Since you saw us and saw what we have…I don't think we can just let you go, Naruto," Leone said, a dark visage taking over her face. The blond gulped as he turned away from her in fright and stared at the ground.

"…I'll join. Living is more important anyway. Talking about living…" the blond suddenly puked as they went up into the air.

"WHAT THE HELL! YOU GOT THAT ON MY PANTS!"

"WHAT DO YOU EXPECT? IT WAS MY FIRST TIME SEEING A SHED FULL OF DEAD PEOPLE AND SEEING SOMEONE ACTUALLY BEING KILLED!"

Akame gave a look to Leone.

"No, you can't kill them."

Blink.

"No, you can't threaten Naruto, either. He gave me clothes, remember?"

Blink.

"I'll give you food back at the base if you stop bothering me about this. Just fists, okay?"

"…Okay."

When the four had joined up with the whole group of Night Raid, there were a few congratulations for only few moments before the speculations went to the two boys.

"And what are those?" One of the members asked. She was a girl with two ponytails and a gun strapped to her side.

"They're one of us, now."

"I'm not a thing, you know," Naruto said from his position behind the girls, his back still facing the group. Tatsumi, at least, was able to face the group, although at the price of being held bridal style by Leone. "Woah!"

Suddenly, both boys were dropped unceremoniously on the ceiling roof tiles as Leone said –

"Congratulations on your inauguration to Night Raid! You two are now official assassins!"

"…"

"…"

"What the hell is with this development?!" That was ignored.

"…I'm being kidnapped by beautiful girls that have a few kinks missing in their heads. That's what's happening right now, right?"

Naruto was promptly shut up, again by Akame, but this time with a fist just in front of his face. Well, he didn't see the gun being pointed at his head by Mine, but that didn't matter. The blond ignored the fist – after all, he wouldn't die from a punch from a girl, right? – and said –

"I want that goddamn vase, Leone. You hear me! I want that vase!"

As for what Tatsumi wanted…that's useless information. He was more confused on the ridiculous development that was currently happening rather than what he wanted.

End Chapter 1

A/N: Well…I don't know what to say. Did you hate it? Like it? Love it? Dislike it? Poop on it? What? Leave a review and tell me what you think? I'll be peacing now!

Oh, who should Tatsumi be paired with? Tell me what you think?
