Akame Ga Kill: Garou

Garou hid between the trees and waited silently, his wait didn't last long as he heard footsteps approaching his location quickly, he kept his eyes in the direction of the footsteps sound, barely a moment and his sight was welcome with three people.

The three were the same from his yesterday with the big scissors woman missing. Garou smiled upon seeing them, he felt a little pity, one of his targets was not there.

"So where is the intruder, Lubbock" The blonde woman asked

"How should I know? The intruder didn't step on another wire, he might have left the place or noticed my wires and decided to hide" Lubbock replied

"We should search around, we can't fail the boss again" The armoured guy said

"Najenda was not happy about our fail yesterday" Lubbock sighed.

"Arrgh, Don't remind me.... how I wish to meet that guy again. I will snap his neck with my hands" Leone said, she was still frustrated from yesterday's fight.

"Hooah, you should watch out for what you wish, your wishes might bite you back hehehe" Garou sound rang from behind the three.

All three jumped away from the voice, they were shocked by hearing the sudden voice. And when they turned around, they were welcomed by a familiar face with red hair. They got more shocked when they realised he was standing nearly 3 meters behind them, they didn't know when he sneaked behind him or how.

"trying to sneak up on us like that, you are quite the coward, aren't you" Leone said with disdain. Nevertheless, she still took stance preparing for the fight, the other two did the same.

Garou remained relaxed, he replied casually "says the one who ganged with other 3 to beat someone heavily injured. Besides, if I wanted to sneak attack you, then no one of you would be still standing"

Leone narrowed her eyes, the other two did the same. If he sneak attacked them with the strength and speed he showed yesterday, then he may indeed manage to kill someone among them or at the very least injure them!!!

"And why you didn't attack us? Are you here to talk with us ?" Lubbock asked curiously. He was the smartest member of the night raid, and he thought if their enemy didn't take the chance of attacking them, then he might not be here for a fight.

"Talk? No, I'm here to take revenge for yesterday and beat the hell out of you. Truthfully I hoped all the four of you would be present. Three is fine as well, I make sure you will share the punishment of your missing friend" Garou replied, he seemed a little down when he spoke about not meeting all of them.

"You will regret not taking your chance, we forced you to escape yesterday with your tail between your legs. Today, we will take you down for good" Leone smirked at she pumped her fists together.

"hahaha….. Take me down? This is the funniest joke I heard in a while. Yesterday, I was barely able to stand, and you still failed to take me down. And now, I'm at 100% again" Garou replied to Leone's taunt.

His words made the three realise something important, yesterday the guy before them really looked like a dying person and now, he seemed perfectly fine. In addition to him being weak at that time, they were four against one, now only three of them present. It meant this fight will be harder than yesterday's battle.

"Are you ready ?" Garou smiled maniacally as he eyed the three assassins. As for the three, they felt their hair stand on its end. The feeling of danger Garou was giving was something they have never experienced before.

"Here, I come !!!" Garou said as he walked forward.

______________________________________________________________________________

Two hours later inside Nightraid hideout, Tatsume has been stripped by Akame who continued checking his body for wounds.

"are you crazy?" Tatsumi yelled at Akame as he tried to stop her. But, Akame continued her checking, ignoring his protest.

"That's how Akame is, just give up Tatsumi" Najenda spoke with smirk.

Akame stopped as she made sure Tatsumi was not injured, she explained herself "Sorry, one of my old comrades got wounded during a battle. He ignored the wound as it wasn't heavy or life-threatening. But he ended up dying by the poison inflicted with the wound."

Tatsumi calmed down as he heard Akame words, he thanked her for her care then turned around to Najenda as he put his clothes on "By the way boss, where are bro and the rest ?"

Najenda froze, she actually forgot about them. She replied, "They went out nearly two hours ago to check a possible intruder. They still haven't come back."

Akame tensed slightly, she was worried for her friends. She said "Something might have happened to them, we should look for them."

Tatsumi nodded "Count me in, I'm coming with you !!!"

Najenda thought for a moment then said "Akame, wait a moment. Tatsumi go call Mine and Sheele. We are going altogether, spreading our forces thin will endanger ourselves and lower the chances of helping them if they were ambushed !!"

Hearing the reason behind her words, Akame couldn't help but agree to wait a little for the rest. Tatsumi ran off to get the other two.

Moments later, Tatsumi was back with the two girls. Najenda informed them about the situation, the two girls brought their weapons and left with the others. The five assassins stood in front of the hideout as Najenda called for her flying beast.

"Do you know where did they go?" Mine asked

Najenda nodded "Lubbock informed me about the general location, we will start searching from there."

The five of them mounted a flying beast and headed out. Few minutes later, they reached their destination.

"I see someone lying on the ground down there. I can't make out who is it because of the darkness" Mine said

"Everyone prepare for the worst !! We are going down" Najenda warned the others.

The other four brought their weapons out, preparing to a possible fight. Once the beast descended, the five jumped down. When they reached the ground, they finally managed to see the body and the sight shocked them.

The body belonged to a man, he was tall and quite muscular. However, what stunned them was the lack of clothes. Except for the u.n.d.e.r.w.e.a.r, the man had nothing covering his body. They didn't recognise who this man was as his face didn't resemble that of a human. It was all swollen and had a purple colour, the eyes were hidden in the bruises, and his lips were as big as Hippo's lips. His head was messy and had hair only at the back and the side of his head. The top was bald with lines of blood running down from it.

"Bro !!!" Tatsumi screamed

"What!!!" the rest of them.

Tatsumi got closer to the man, he said with a tear in his eyes "It is bro !!! Look at this scar, it was on bro's body."

The four of them were shocked, Najenda hurriedly got closer to inspect the man. She said in a grave tone "He is indeed Bulat. Luckily he is still alive, but his body has many wounds, especially his face."

"Whoever did this, I'm going to KILL THEM ALL!!" Tatsumi screamed with determination as the other had a similar look in their eyes.

"Tatshumi!!! Ish fat yo"

Weak scream came from behind the wood. The five recognised it, it belonged to Leone!! The five ran as fast as they could toward Leone. And yet they were surprised again.

Leone's body was buried under the ground as her bruised head was sticking out of it. Her Teigu belt was used to block her mouth. Her eyes were filled with tears, they were tears of happiness. She was like someone saw a long-missing lover or a family member. The assassins were stunned by this, was this the same headstrong Leone?

"Eeeeeeh" Sheele suddenly squeaked alerting the assassins who were still looking at Leone, they turned to Sheele who was staring terrified as she pointed her finger behind Leone, at the top of the trees.

The four looked in the direction, and they felt horrified by the sight, Lubbock was hanging upside down from one of the tallest trees. His wires tying him, making sure he won't fall or free himself anytime soon. Lubbock's eyes were rolled to the back of his head, leaving only the white colour in his semi-opened eyes, while his mouth wide open showing that he screamed loudly before losing his conscious. And what truly horrified them was a branch tree sprouting from his a.s.s.

"What the f.u.c.k happened here ??!!" Najenda cursed loudly as 3 of her elite assassins were reduced to such a state, she was outraged.
