In the last chapter, I stated that the three Gravekeepers that Green attacked died. They were actually knocked out. So went back and changed it. Oh, and a word of warning. This chapter has bits of rape and stuff, so...yeah...you've been warned.

---

Green and Akame stood across from their opponent, the black haired boy having just eliminated three of the Gravekeepers that came across them. The high-ranking Gravekeeper simply squinted his eyes.

Gravekeeper: "You seem to be different from the others I've fought so far."

The Gravekeeper then jumps into the air, his body now changing. His limbs began to sprout feathers, them now taking the shape of a bird's wings. His toenails were now the talons, him now having long legs.

Akame: (shocked) "He can turn into a bird...!"

Green: "We have to do something to bring him down to the ground."

Gravekeeper: "It's actually more trouble that you only knocked out my teammates. So you're planning on taking them back alive to get information out of them...then I'll just have to finish you off and collect you."

Green: "He's going to charge us!"

The transformed man dashes through the air, Green using his whip to attack him. The whip goes in a spiral like motion, Green attempting to thrash it at him. But the Gravekeeper dodged it with ease, shocking Green as the enemy heads for him. He then extends his claw forward, attempting to grab Green's face.

Gravekeeper: "You're first...!"

Akame: "Not on my watch."

The Gravekeeper looked shocked that Akame had moved in front of Green at high speeds. He lunged his talons forward, going to slash the red-eyed girl. But Akame quickly unsheathes her Shingu, blocking the attacks as the Gravekeeper backs off, clicking his tongue.

Gravekeeper: "How can you move so quickly without even having a secret art...!?"

Green: "You saved me, Akame. Now we definitely have him."

Akame: "Yeah."

Not sure what the two meant, the Gravekeeper looked down. His eyes widened as he sees that his foot was being wrapped by Green's Shingu. The glasses boy had done that when the Gravekeeper was distracted by Akame. He tries to get it off him, but was pulled down when Green reeled his arm down, the Gravekeeper desperately flapping his wings to get away.

Taking this chance opportunity, Akame leapt off a rock and got behind the Gravekeeper. She prepped her Shingu for an attack.

Akame: "You're mine!"

Gravekeeper: (grits teeth) "This teamwork...these guys are...!"

Using the end of the handle, Akame hits the back of the Gravekeeper's head, sending him downwards as he crashes into the ground. Now knocked out and successfully captured, Akame and Green high-five at their handiwork.

Green: "Nice attack."

Akame: "We were in sync." (thoughts) 'I can count on Green, even in a real battle...'

Green: (thoughts) 'Score! I got to impress Akame...and I never lost my cool...!"

Akame: (confused) "G-Green? Your nose is bleeding."

Green: "Uh! Oh, I'm f-fine! I just got so excited from the fighting...it's nothing!" (thoughts) 'Gwah! I went from being someone she can rely on to someone who gets a nosebleed over the excitement of the fight!'

Akame: (sweat drops) "O-Okay...just so long as you're not hurt..."

With Kurome, Natala, and Gin...

The three assassins were currently being held up by chains. The three of them were panting heavily, tired, but also not having their daily doses of drugs. In front of them were their torturers, the burly man rubbing his chin as he was in a thinking position.

Male Gravekeeper: "Hmm. You guys seem to be in a lot of pain. We haven't done anything to you yet."

Female Gravekeeper: "They doped themselves in the fight. These are probably withdrawal symptoms."

Male Gravekeeper: "For real? These guys are dangerous. We went through all that trouble to capture them. It'd suck if they died on us now. What do we do? Give them some drugs?"

Female Gravekeeper: "It certainly would be boring to have them die now."

Male Gravekeeper: "All right, then! This here's Uncle Jamo's special-made concoction! I think it'll really take the edge off for you guys, see? Come on now. Say, 'ahh.' I know you're hurting."

Unwrapping something from his pocket, the Gravekeeper, Jamo, took out what seemed to be a herb. He then shoves it down Gin's mouth, forcing her to eat it and swallow it.

But Gin wasn't having it. She instantly spits it back out, the thing hitting Jamo's cheek.

Gin: "I'm not about to eat that...!"

Jamo: "Ooh! Oooh! Nice. Very cool. It's giving me the chills!"

The male Gravekeeper then shot his hand up Gin's own shirt, ripping it up. He then removes her jacket, exposing her well-endowed chest.

Jamo: "I gotta say, I just love saucy chicks like you!"

Female Gravekeeper: "Hey, come on, Jamo."

Jamo: "What's the big deal? If I decide to kill these guys, I'll give them all to you."

Female Gravekeeper: (turns other way) "...I'll pretend I didn't see anything."

Jamo: "Heh-heh! I'm glad you get me!"

Gin: "S-Stop it!"

Jamo only laughs as he begins to strip Gin of her clothing. Natala and Kurome watch in horror as their friend was about to be violated. And they couldn't do anything to stop it.

Jamo: (bites on Gin's breast) "Come on, you're a girl, so you ought to have been prepared for this, don't you think? Though, I do get off on guys too."

Natala grits his teeth as he couldn't do anything. He couldn't even summon up the strength to break the chains, so he was suffering, watching as his friend was being violated.

Kurome: "W-Wait!"

Jamo: "Huh?"

Kurome: "She's no good at that kind of thing, so I don't think you'll enjoy yourself very much...I, on the other hand, can make you feel great. And I'll take those herbs too, please..."

Jamo: "Ha! Ha ha! That's quite a claim coming from an innocent, little girl specialized in assassination."

Kurome: "Wha...?"

Jamo: "You're just trying to get me undo your restraints. Sorry, but that's not gonna happen."

Kurome: "I meant what I said..."

Jamo: "If you want to service me that badly, then I won't deny you. Uncle Jamo is a man, after all!"

Kurome: (wide-eyes) "Wha...?"

Jamo: "I'll give you what you want!"

Her attempt of seduction didn't go the way it wanted to. Instead of Jamo undoing the chains, he morphed his arm into a tentacle. The tentacle begins to wrap around Kurome, the girl squealing as it begins to go under her uniform.

Jamo: "See? That physique of yours doesn't offer any womanly wiles. This girl gives off the same vibe, but at least she's got a hot ass."

Gin: "Eh!?" (thoughts) 'Th-This man is the only one...I will kill! I swear to god, he's dead meat...!'

As Jamo begins to have his fun, he was unaware that someone had come up behind him. He crossed his arms as he leans up against the wall.

Gravekeeper: "Hey, what are you playing at, Jamo? The boss gets to see the prisoners to decide what to do with them first. At least, that's the rule." (glares) "If you make light of the boss, he won't go easy on you."

Jamo: (nervous) "R-Right...sorry. I was just having a little fun. They said they were curious to see how squids work..."

Gravekeeper: "The meretserger's been found beaten to a pulp in the crypt below."

Jamo: "Geh!? You mean someone got that far in!?"

Gravekeeper: "Yeah. This is serious. Come with me."

As the two Gravekeepers leave, Gin could finally relax. But the effects of not taking the drugs were still in effect, the three of them panting heavily.

Gin: "An intruder...! One of our guys must've come to save us."

Natala: "Looks like it's too soon to kill ourselves...don't give up until the bitter end."

Gin: "But is there really someone on our team who'd be able to get in here?"

Natala: "It might be someone from the other team."

Kurome: (thoughts) 'Maybe...it's my sister...!'

Outside

The Elite Seven stood outside the tomb. Akame and Akira were staring at the pyramid, side by side.

Gozuki: "Everyone's memorized the map of the tomb's interior, I hope."

Poney: "Down to the last detail!"

Gozuki: "And you know what I'm going to tell you, don't you?"

Poney: "Don't let our guard get lax just because we have a map...right?"

Gozuki: "That's right. The information we got from the captives matches what Guy brought us when he infiltrated, so we probably have it right, but still, with our teammates still not back, there's no telling what the Gravekeepers will make. They could change the types of traps they use and such."

Poney: "Uhh, so what you're saying..."

Najasho: (sigh) "Information's important too, but don't forget to employ your five senses, is what he means."

Poney: "Come on, I always do that!"

Gozuki: "Good point. So long as you apply everything you've learned, you should be fine."

Najasho: "You'll be coming with us this time, correct?"

Gozuki: "It's an especially dangerous mission. Guy, you'll be the only one taking a different route. Throw them into confusion from underground."

Guy: "Leave it to me...and I'll make as much a commotion as Cornelia would've done on top of that!"

Gozuki: (grin) "All right. Once the other unit's begun their feint, we charge in!"

Akira: (puts hand on Akame's shoulder) "Don't worry. We'll find them."

Akame: (small smile) "I know...thank you, Akira."
