Hi everyone! I am a new fan fiction member and want to write some story that I imagined by myself. I came across Akame Ga kill this month and I think there could be some story continued from the ending.
This story follows the manga ending, with some refinement here and there. Some characters that were supposed to die live, as that is the point of this story. I want to build this to be a bit more drama/ romance like story, with illustration over the character that we know during the original story.
Finally, this is my first ever story in Fanfiction. I apologise for grammar mistakes or anything bad about it. Feel free to drop suggestion and comment. Not as other posts here, I have concluded the story in my mind, so rest assured it will be finished in timely manner (unless something really bad happen, which I hope not fingercrossed)
So without further due, please enjoy!

It has been four years since the Empire collapsed. The people of the new Kingdom replacing the Empire are trying to build their country back. War has torn them apart, but with the new King trying his best to rectify what has been hurt, they live on with a new hope. Hope that some believe is bright.
Hundred of miles north of the capital, our hero is also trying to fix his life. It has changed, and it is not easy for him to get his old life back. All of feeling he got from being an assassin make the life of villagers seems to be abnormal and boring. It was a routine, and many times his desire of adventure came back and lure him out of his comforting home.
Tatsumi is back at his old village, where everything started not so long ago. He has come from a long way and back for a reason, and only this reason alone has set his mind to live this boring life. He was sitting on an old chair that looks to be ready to break in anytime, when he heard the sound of a little girl calling him.
"Daddy! I have come home!", a little girl shouted when she was entering his home.
Gloom from his face suddenly faded out, replaced by a warm smile looking at the little girl in the door.
She is the reason for him to come back. His daughter with the Night raid's genius sniper. Mine has given him the beautiful daughter that he will be happy to leave everything behind just to make sure this girl will never live the same life as he did. They named her after their fallen Night Raid's member, Sheele.
Her eyes are green, just like his. The hair is from her mother, pink and straight. She looks almost exactly like mini Mine, with exception of her eyes. Sometimes he think, "how could she look like this? I hope she won't be a Mine's copy. How could live be with two of them together?"
"How is your day?", Tatsumi asked her while he reached her with his arms.
"I was playing with Kanna and Syren on the hill. We built some snow figure!", she replied him while going straight to his lap.
"Who took you there? I need to give them a good scold", Mine suddenly join in from the kitchen.
"Oh come on Mine, don't take it too seriously. The hill is safe right now, let her play a bit more", Tatsumi disagreed.
"And what would you do if she is hurt? She is still so young. Jeez, you are her father Tatsumi!", Mine kept arguing.
She has not changed that much. Having a daughter did mature her a bit. But she is still his Mine, who likes to pout and being spoiled by him. Tatsumi smiled remembering what has gone through between them, until they have a peaceful little family with their beloved daughter.
"Ha…. fine. But don't spoil her too much. She needs to experience some more excitement outside".
Sheele moved to her mother and sat on her lap. Her smile is as innocent and pure as his father. And just by that, Mine's heart melted away.
"Hmm okay okay I will not be lecturing you now, what do you want to eat for lunch?"
"I want dessert! I want sweet dessert!", little Sheele jolted as she imagine her favourite sweet cake made specially by her mother.
"Aha, see, she is just like you", Tatsumi smiled and told Mine his thought.
"Hmmph, of course, I hope that she is not like you", Mine replied him while sticking out her tongue.
"Sheele come, help mommy to prepare the food", as she went back to the kitchen followed by Sheele.
Tatsumi back to his thinking. His mind flew back to the event couple years ago, right after he defeated the Emperor's teigu at cost of Incursio. He barely made it alive, after Incursio somehow was destroyed in his last effort to keep the Big teigu from harming innocent people. He was still not able to understand how he could be alive, as he was quite sure he was already dead at that moment. Akame didn't really say anything to him, as she was right there when he was almost gone.
He has kept telling himself that it was his will to be back again with Mine that keep him alive. And it seems everyone agreed in silence. But he knows that Najenda and Akame know something that he does not, a fact that they don't want to share with him.
It has been haunting him back for a while. He managed to get this behind after couple of months, but lately this issue is coming back to him. He does not know why, and he certainly wants to know thought he could not. It seems that the peace he hoped to live with his family is going to be changed soon, and he could never be ready to guess what it would be.
"I should be going, this is the best time to hunt some danger beast", as he finally stood up. This is what he has been doing for a while to make a living. Some remains of danger beast are valuable, and he makes more than enough for the three of them. The people of his village are also happy with him keeping them safe, and in return they have been really helpful with little Sheele. She was a bit troublesome, as you can expect from little Mine, and with the other children keep her accompanied, she was doing better from time to time.
The hunting time is a time that he always waits to come. This is when he could feel back what it feels like to adventure. He never really realised it when he was busy with Night Raid's affair. But now that everything has slowed down, he missed them. Well, he is still young after all. Who wouldn't want to have a little excitement here and there in their life?
"Ah, an evil boar", he said as he looked to one of an alpha-class danger beast between the forest's tree. The beast is quite huge, at least a bit taller than fully grown adult. But for Tatsumi, it was not really a problem. Even without Incursio, he is still a capable fighter. His training during the war was really handy at these times. He started to approach the boar from behind.
"Got you!", one swift swing with his blade, he managed to hurt the boar. However, it did not fell through directly. It looked angry now, and Tatsumi stood back on his feet. He was preparing his next step carefully.
The danger beast charged at him full speed, but his agility is still with him. He pulled his body back a bit, and the danger beast went through past him. The danger beast looked even angrier now that it had failed to hit its target. It started its second attack right after, but Tatsumi again showed his swiftness by dodging it.
"Hmm, what has gotten to this boar? It usually was not as aggressive as this one", Tatsumi dodged the third attack.
He could see a lot of red liquid falling down from one of the boar forward leg, which should have significantly weakened it. But today seems just a bit different for him. "Could it be that my swing was not hard enough?", he thought.
Tatsumi landed another blow at the danger beast, but it was not as effective as he thought. The boar just charged him back even after the other leg seems to be pouring out some more blood.
"Seriously, what is wrong with this boar", Tatsumi started to worry.
They keep to be in a fight for some time. Tatsumi was not really tired, but neither the danger beast. He started to worry that his family would be in panic and searched him. Mine is strong, but he was not so convinced as she does not have her Pumpkin anymore. How could she fight against this beast without her teigu?
"I should finish this now", Tatsumi started to get agitated and he prepared his finishing blow. The moment came and the boar charged him again. With some clever movement, he dodged the attack again and struck the boar's back. Now it looked like it had been finished.
"Huh, finally you gave up", as he was moving toward nearby tree to clean his sword.
"Boom!"
Suddenly a loud noise heard, and Tatsumi quickly turned his head back. There was nothing, but it seems that something big has fallen down. He did notice that the boar was not on the same position as he left it before, but he didn't really worry about it.
"Maybe just my mind, I better get back before I got another spout by the two princesses", he sighed and took some valuable from the danger beast.
The night has fallen when he reached home. As he expected, Mine was not too happy with his late arrival.
"Where have you been? Sheele was worried… wait what happened?", she quickly asked him, as she looked at Tatsumi. He looked more tired than the usual, and he got some blood in his shirt.
"The danger beast today was a bit tough, hehe. Don't worry I am still the strong Tatsumi that you know!" He replied
"This is what will actually kill you one day. You should ask me to help if it is too strong for you", her face was doing the old Mine habit, but she reached Tatsumi to help him with his belongings.
"Oh don't ruin my image in front of Sheele," he replied her while pinching Mine's cheek.
"Hmm so you really is not strong! You just want her to think you are strong", as she started their usual argument.
"Come on Mine, this is not something to argue about. Let's eat, I am hungry", he quickly stop it.
The night was cold. They had finished their dinner, and they was getting ready to sleep. Sheele slept on the next room, and when she sleep, nothing will wake her up unless some rage from her parents.
"Tatsumii… it has been a while", Mine started to play with her hair. Tatsumi knows what this means. But he was too tired. Mine didn't seem to be bothered though, and proceed with her plan.
"Please not today Mine, I am too tired", he gently pushed Mine away.
"Fine! Don't force me when it is your turn!" Mine turned away feeling rejected.
She fell asleep quite fast, but not with Tatsumi. His thought came back bothering him. The moments when he was fallen down and almost disappeared. Suddenly, his body was shivering. As quickly as he usually is, he took his blade closer to him. Something is not right, and he knew he should be worried. Mine was disturbed and awoken by the noise.
"What's wrong?" She asked with half closed eyes.
"Take Sheele here, something was off", he said to Mine without looking.
The sudden cold came back again, and Mine didn't need her second order to bring Sheele to them. But something was off, and they know that they should be alert.
Meanwhile, not so far away from Tatsumi's house within the forest, a pair of eyes looked angry. Anyone who looked at it will not just be afraid, but frozen in place. Not so long after, the eye was gone, but the atmosphere is still tense.
