Chapter 4: The mask under the innocent

It has been 5 months since Y/n has join the Night Raid and during these 5 months he has been sent to mission after mission either on his own or with teams as he assassin those within the empire or those who harm the innocent. He made a repatriation within the Revolutionary army qnd Night Raid as one of the best assassin's they ever have.

He is also feared by all those within the empire due to lack of identity or name. Still we find Y/n standing on top of the clock tower and looking at the massive veiw of the capital of the empire as he stand up and look at the veiw of the capital as a Eagle fly by, hawking as Y/n stared at it.

He then enter the clock tower and once inside he was met by Akame as she is having her lunch after she came back from her patrol.

Y/n: No sign of the royal family?

Akame: Spotted their daughter in different parts od the capital. However there was so many people that she keeps disappearing.

Y/n: At least we know she is here. I wonder what the rest are up to.

Akame: Who knows.

Y/n turns to Akame while she is eating as he then ask her.

Y/n: Any luck finding your sister.

Akame:....No.

Y/n: I see. My apologies.

Akame: It's okay. Just hope she is alright.

Y/n:......Yeah. its good to have some hope.

Leone: (smirk) What's up suckers!

She then came out from the shadows as she approaches the two.

Leone: (smirk) I see you two are having a normal chat but i was hoping to see more if you know what I mean.

Y/n: Like killing or the "other" thing?

Leone: (smirk) Meh, I take both. Anyways here, a little gift for me.

She then tosses a bag to Y/n as he catches it and looks inside to see money to which he ask her.

Y/n: Where did you get this?

Leone: (smirk) Stolen it from a new visitor. He was a dork, I think he wanted to join the empire army but must have fuck it up.

Y/n: So you stole this money from him?

Leone: Well I ask him for a drink and then I took his money.

Y/n: And why would you steal some money from a random citizen?

Leone: (smirk) Just to impress you. I mean, I bet he didn't know his money was stolen. Its pretty cool right?

Y/n just let out a sigh until he realised something and ask.

Y/n: You said this boy is a new arrival right? Like how long has he been here?

Leone: He recently came here foe what he told me.

Y/n: Then this is perfect.

Akame: How?

Y/n: Can master Najenda told us that this royal family targets those who are new visitors and take them to their home.

Leone: Oooohhh I see what you are thinking! We use that boy as a way to find their home. Good thinking Y/n.

Y/n: I'll find this person and follow him. Just need to know what he looks like.

Leone: (smirk) Sure thing.

(Hours later)

It was the deaf of Night as we see Y/n leap over to roof to roof, parkouring his way through the city and searching for this boy until he finds him. He find him sitting on the bridge and sat how he got his money stolen as he watches him from the shadows.

It wasn't long for a cart to come by and a young innocent girl offers him to enter which he complay.

Y/n: (thought) Either his parents didn't tell him to not go into random strangers carts or he's just a idiot.

He watches them go so he follows them. He stay far to not be alerted as tails them, using his Grappling hook to reach to roofs that is far away from him and leaping over roof to roof.

Soon the buildings where gone and replace with trees as he enter the forest as he gets behind one and peaks out to see the mansion and the two going inside. Once they were inside Y/n quietly make his way over to the mansion and fire a grapple to the roof as he climbs up the roof and once on the roof he looks for a entrance.

He soon finds one and before he goes in he summon his Eagle to him as the Eagle landed on his arm.

Y/n: Bring the rest here, time to end this blood line for good.

Then his Eagle flies off as Y/n opens the ceiling window and enters the basement and sneak over to the door. Once there he pick the lock and once unlock he opens the door and peaks inside to see the hallway filled with paintings and other rich items as he shut the door behind him.

Then he heard footsteps so he enters inside a cabinet and hide inside. He listen to the footsteps and once he can't hear it he slowly open the cabinet door and poke his head out to see no one.

He leaves the cabinet and make his way to the hallway and scan around to see no one walking through the hallway as he thinks to himself.

Y/n: (thought) Now we play the waiting game.

(Sometike later)

Soon the whole mansion became dark as we see a few guards patrolling through the hallways. Around the corner we see Y/n watching the guards coming his way as he pulled out his hidden blade when they hear a scream which alerted the guards.

Then Y/n spring out of the darkness and quickly cut down the guards with his hidden blade.

Guard: Hey!

Then three guards came out and running towards him as Y/n pulled out his knives and throws the knives at them, stabbing them in the eye as they collapse onto the ground. Suddenly a guard swing his sword at him but he dodges and quickly got behind him and kick his leg onto thr ground as he snap his neck.

He collapses onto thr ground as Y/n make his way to the daughters room. The Night Raid took out the father, mother and the guards as Y/n took out the guards before they have a chance to attack. Soon he turn a corner and see her with the young warrior as they spotted him which he races towards them.

???: Come on!

He took her hand and they make his escape while Y/n chases after them. Soon more guards block his way but he throws a smoke bomb at them, blinding them as he quickly cut them down.

Once they were dead he sees that they escape to outside so he smash through a nearby window and land hard onto the ground without any injuries and looks up and scan the forest.

He soon find his target as he goes after them and soo  the two arrived at a shed as they were running towards the shed when a arrow hits the daughter by the leg which she collapses onto the floor.

???: Aria!

Y/n: There's no escape.

Then Y/n came out from the forest as he walls towards Aria but then the young warrior pulled out his sword and stood in front of her.

???: I won't let you harm her!

Y/n stop and stare at him for a moment and then he tells him.

Y/n: Get out of the way. Your not my target, she is.

???: Yeah but I can't allow you to harm a cute and innocent girl.

Y/n:......Cute? You really are a idiot.

???: (angry) What does that mean?!

Y/n: Just move out of the way boy. I don't want to fight you.

Tatsumi: (smirk) I'm not just your average boy. I am Tatsumi and I will a great hero and take out murders like you.

Y/n: So you wanna play hero then? Well then, let's see what you got.

He pulled out his sword which Tatsumi is a bit nervous but he ready his sword and then he charge towards him while Y/n stood still.

Tatsumi swing his sword at him but within a second he dodges it. Tatsumi is shocked and swing his sword at him again but once again he dodges it as Tatsumi keeps swinging his sword at him but Y/n keeps dodging his strikes  and swings.

Tatsumi finds it hard to land a blow at this assassin as he goes for another strike but then Y/n finally makes a move and quickly block his strike with his sword. He stare him down and then he push him back, making Tatsumi stumble back and then he goes for another swing but he roll over his sword and then he kick him in the back, making Tatsumi fall onto thr ground.

Y/n: You lack of combat skills. How can you be a hero if you can't beat your enemy.

Tatsumi: Shut up!

He gets up and goes doe a stab since he's behind but he quickly dodges his stab attempt and then he kick his sword off of his hand as his sword was sent flying into the air and Y/n catches it and form a x over Tatsumi's neck as he stood there frozen as Tatsumi is shown to be nervous while Y/n has lack of any emotions as he stare at him.

Then he moves away the swords from his neck and tells him.

Y/n: You have much to learn. You need to react fast and learn when his enemy will strike. Most importantly of all...know who your enemy is.

Then he throws Tatsumi's sword as the sword travel to the shed broken the lock as Y/n make his way over to it.

Aria: Wait! Don't gi in there!

Y/n ignore her and kick the twin doors open as he turn to Tatsumi and tells him.

Y/n: Sometimes the innocent will wear a mask to hide its true face.

Tatsumi make his way over and looks inside only to be totally shock and horror to see dead crops inside, some where in cages while other are hung from hooks like meat as Tatsumi is in horror seeing all of this.

Y/n: This family bring those who are new visitors here and does horrible things to them. The empire ignores these reports and even threatening those since this family is part of the empire.

Then Tatsumi noticed something about the bodies on 5he hoods as he noticed that one is someone he knows.

Tatsumi: (shocked) Sayo.

Then Y/n pulled out another knife and throws it at Aria who is trying to crawl away but the knife stabbed her on her arm which she scream as he then grab her the back od the head and lifted her off the ground.

Y/n: And you hell your family do this, didn't you?

Aria: Wait no! Tatsumi I have no idea my parents where doing this! I swear!

???: Tatsumi?

Then Tatsumi slowly turn to one od the cages ans sees someone who is barely alive within which Tatsumi mutter out.

Tatsumi: Ieyasu?

Ieyasu: Please......believe him.......me and Saye where (coughing) invited to their hours and next thing we know....we were drugged and end up here. (Coughing out blood) They......tortured us and....leave us......to......die.

Then he collapse onto the floor which made Tatsumi in tears while Y/n throws Aria onto the ground and stood over her as he place his foot onto her chest, not allowing her to move anymore.

Y/n: Why doing all of this? These were innocent people. Why do such things.

Aria: You think they deserve to come here?! No! These....low class are nothing but scum! They think they can just walk here thinking they can live in peace with us! We hate them! I hate them! They deserve to be tortured and die for coming here in the first place! I HATE THEM SOO MUCH AND I'M GLAD THEY ARE DEAD!

Y/n just stared at her and then goes for a blow when suddenly a blade cut Aria's head as her head roll away and blood came pouring out as Y/n turn to see Tatsumi with his sword covered in blood with a face of vengeance as Y/n remove his foot from Aria's body and soon Leone and Akame came out and sees her dead body.

Leone: (smirk) Nice one Y/n! One clean kill!

Y/n: I didn't kill her. He did.

They turn to Tatsumi in surprise as Y/n enter inside the shed ans seconds later he took out the bodies of Sayo snd Ieyasu as he carries them as he tells Tatsumi.

Y/n: They deserve a proper resting place. That way.....there spirits will be free.

Tatsumi doesn't know what to say when Leone grabs him by the shoulder and tells him.

Leone: (smirk) Guess that means he's joing us.

Tatsumi: Huh? Hey wait your the boobs chick that stolen my money!

Leone: (smirk) That's me~!

Y/n: Oh right I forgot, here this is yours.

He tosses Tatsumi's money back which surprised him however he was dragged by Leone while he try to get away as Akame came up to Y/n.

Akame: You sure he killed her?

Y/n: Yes however in his rage and vengeance, not a true assassin. But I believe he has much to learn.

Akame agrees as the two regroup with the rest of the night Raid and return back to base with Tatsumi possible gonna be theie new member to the Night Raids as they leave the area for the empire army will show up.
