Darkness continued growing in the capital. People suffered due to all the struggles inside the capital.

Surely Night Raid never stopped, they continued on getting rid all the criminals and monsters, one of them is the Prime Minister....

Yukina's POV
I'm Yoru Yukina. I'm thirteen years old turning fourteen, and I live with my family and my older sister Lily. Our house is also a book store because both my parents love reading books.

I stood outside as I look out the moon. "Yukina! Time for supper!" my sister Lily called. I nod my head and went inside.

We all sat in the table happily, as we eat dinner. Until my father spoke, "You guys better be careful. Monsters are already roaming around the capital." he said. I stood up on my seat proudly and said, "I'll be the soldier of this house Father!" confidently without hesitation I said. He smiled at me. What I didn't know is that, this will be the last time I'll be able to see them.

It was a stormy night. We are all asleep. Until I heard loud noises coming from outside. I went outside my room, seeing a path of small drops of blood. I followed it leading it to my sister's room.

The room was empty, another trail leading to my parents' room. I went in, and saw my dear sister and father lying in the bed bleeding, my mom wasn't there.

I went to the kitchen, seeing a man in a black coat, holding my mom by the neck choking her. Due to FEAR, I screamed, "Put her down!!!!!" my voice was loud, that it hurt and very unpleasant to man's ears. The man didn't hesitate, he finished my mom and approached to me as he grinned.

Next to me is a sharp knife, I took the knife and did not hesitate to eliminate the man. I ran to my room quickly and hid under the bed.

Under my bed, I felt something, like there is a door on the floor. I knelt up a bit and opened it silently, seeing a microphone.

Even though it is dark, I can tell that it is a microphone because as soon as I opened the small door it shines some light a bit. I picked it up. I started to feel a bond between me and the microphone. It is like it is calling for me.

Someone then pulled me out the bed by my feet. He gripped my arm tightly, my other hand that is holding the microphone, I placed the microphone before my mouth and yelled, "Let me go you monster!!!" my voice became louder than ever. The man knelt down the floor as he shivers, "Gahh!" the man said as a few blood came out of his mouth. He lied on the floor next to my bed, as his blood scatter like a piece of rag.

I knew he was done, I turned around, seeing another one standing infront of me. But soon, he fell on the floor bleeding,he was dead. Before my eyes, a girl with long black hair. The blood on her sword tinted like metal due to the light of the Moon. She look at me, and saw me holding a microphone.

"Are you the one who killed the other guy?" she asked. I nod my head. "How about the other one at the kitchen?" she asked again. I nod my head as I shiver. "Hey Akame! Looks like someone helped us out to complete the mi--..." a girl with blonde hair came, she stared at me, "And I guess she is the one who killed them.".

"Are you from Night Raid?" I asked. They nodded their heads. As I stared at the black-haired girl, I quickly went up to her and hugged her as I cried. I can feel her hands slowly rubbing on my back, "It's....it's okay." she said. I looked up to her, "Let me join you!! I want to avenge my family." I said. She looked at me, "Well then kid, you are one of us now!" the blonde one said. They brought me back to their hideout.

At their hideout...
"What is your name?" the pink-haired girl with twin tails asked. "I'm Yoru Yukina." I replied. "Pleasure to meet you! I'm Mine!" she introduced, "That girl with black hair is Akame. And the girl standing next to her is Leone." she added. "The boy standing next to Leone is Tatsumi," said Akame, "The lady on the chair is Boss, her name is Najenda but we call her boss...while the guy next to her is Lubbock." she added. "I see you've found Heavy Pressure. The Teigu that can produce a high pitch sound and ultrasonic sound waves that can kill an enemy fast." explained Najenda.

Ever since that day, I became an assassin. They lend me an ordinary sword just in case.

Until, the day came where I have mission wherein I'm the only one who must complete it. I have to kill the remaining eight killers whom killed my family.

I went to the woods and found their hideout, I peeped through the windows, seeing a girl that was just my age, I saw her name to kill three men. But the other five, planned to kill her. I immediately attacked them, using my teigu, I'm able to eliminate them withing seconds.

That is the time where I met Freya, Freya Claire Kole. I asked her if she can join me and she said yes. "Wait! Can I bring my siblings with me?" she asked. "Sure. But, some of them will be working as a servant." I replied. She smiled, we headed back to the hideout along with her siblings.

I knew that me as an assassin is still the beginning.
