Dragon Ga Kill

Chapter 22 - Decision

Takashi and Tatsumi both make their way to the Night Raid's main throne room where the Boss was sitting on a throne chair while smoking a cigar.

Akame, Mine, Bulat(Without his armor on), Sheele, Leone, and Lubbock stand front in center in a circular formation around their 'Boss'.

"Let's skip the formalities, what are your names and state your purpose for joining Night Raid," The Boss leans back against her throne chair and crosses one of her muscular thick legs. She was wearing black leather pants and a black business suit that covered her busty b.r.e.a.s.ts and slender stomach, her body frame was extremely fit, in fact, her body frame was almost at the level of Leone. She had battle scars on her one exposed violet eye, it looked like she had been through many battles, wars, and had lost many comrades along the way. Her past life was shrouded in mystery and sorrow. In general, it looked like she had been through some 'tough shit'.

"The name is!-" Tatsumi was about to his say name and introduce himself, but Takashi quickly pushed him back and talked first. He took charge.

"The name is Takashi, I don't need to tell you guys much, I am only here because you saved Sayo's life and you offered to take care of her until she gets better and recovers from her injuries, that is it," Takashi said as he stared down the Boss of Night Raid with a deadly dragon glare, his red eyes flickered some flame sparks.

"I will ask you again why do you want to join this faction?" The Boss says with more force in her m.a.t.u.r.e tone.

"F.u.c.k all factions, I don't follow anyone's order," Takashi darkly said as he reached for the handle of his katana Ryuyami just case anyone had the guts to strike down right now.

"How dare you talk to our Boss like that!" Mine loses her cool and goes bat-shit and aims her Imperial Arms rifle blaster behind Takashi's head.

"Najenda! I won't stand for this!" Lubbock gripes the string of his Teigu gloves.

"Hahaha! I admire your guts to say such words in a room in full of assassins! You really are one interesting one, tell what happened last night then," Najenda clamps her metal hand in a forceful manner with a wide smirk. She was growing found of Takashi's tendency and fearsome behavior, he was the perfect assassin for Night Raid, he was at the level of a Super Weapon. If only she knew Takashi's true powers.

"He attacked Bulat, Mine, Leone, and me at the mansion garden. He almost tried to kill us, his actions and powers of that of not a normal assassin.He managed to knock me out during a one on one battle. He may have skills, but his brashness and confidence will blind him," Akame is quickly interrupted by Najenda as she stomped her feet to make Akame stop talking.

"I want him to talk, not you Akame, I am surprised you would even lose to anyone in a one and one battle, " Najenda said with one eye furrowed, she was, even more, curious and intrigued of Takashi's powers.

"I did not lose, I simply do not fully understand him and his attacks, I have never seen anyone else who has a Teigu like his, It strangely reminds me of my own weapon, except it has flames which almost melted Murasame and my body, almost like dragon flames, I demand a rematch," Akame said as she gripped the handle of Murasame and gave Takashi a fearsome deadly glare. She really hated Takashi's guts after he had 'defeated' her in combat.

"Enough Akame," Najenda said as puffed out some smoke from her mouth, she turned her attention back Takashi, " You do know we can not let you leave this base, if you do then you would contain valuable information of our hideout base whereabouts, the Empire would steal this information and if they do acquire it then our operations would be in danger and the General of the Empire would hunt us down. Her brutal methods know no bounds. You only have two choices either join Night Raid to keep this information hidden between us two or work in the armory mines as one of our workers. I will only say this once more, Why do you want to join us?" Najenda said she really wasn't giving an option for Takashi for stated his 'point' of not joining any factions.

"I don't want to fully join Night Raid. I don't want to join any factions I work alone, but you can contract me and I would come to this base from time to time under my own time and of course after I gather the reward of the 'hit', " Takashi said as he gripped the handle of Ryuyami, he knew everyone in Night Raid was staring him down, he would strike them all down if they made the slightest of movements to attack him.

"I now see what you mean, it makes sense, you don't fully trust us, but even now we won't let you leave, you are surrounded by a group of highly trained assassins, they will kill you if you escape and reveal any classified information to the Empire," Najenda coldly informed Takashi.

"I would like to to see you guys try," Takashi was close to unsheathing Ryuyami, he got into an assassin lunge strike. He would kill every assassin in this damn building if he had to.

Mine, Bulat, Akame, Sheele, and Leone all got into combat stances and slowly activated their Teigu's powers.

"Wait! There is no need for fighting!" Tatsumi shouts.

"I will make this clear. You will only bring me down, if you want to join Night Raid go right ahead, I don't care," Takashi said without any mercy in his draconic red eyes which were flickering and glowing with flame sparks.

"Hey that is not true! I can hold my own! Why are you always so cold to everyone!" Tatsumi loudly shouted and clenched his fist. He was tired of being put down by Takashi, he wanted to punch his brothers face so badly.

"So that is your weapon? Hm go ahead and show me it," Najenda calmly said with a grin. By the second she was growing more interested in Takashi. Not in that 'way', you get the point.

"If I did then you would all be dead," Takashi said as flames ignited around the blood-red-steel-blade of Ryuyami.

"I will take him down," Akame had enough of Takashi's words and unsheathed Murasame and pointed the razor-sharp poisonous blade at Takahi's face.

"You really want to do this again," Takashi darkly grinned.

Akame actually reacted by his slight insult, she gritted her teeth and her red eyes widen with rage, she for the first time in a while, truly 'hated' someone, were emotions finally being shown by Akame? The fiercest and most deadly assassin in Night Raid that could kill anyone with just one strike of her highly poisonous katana.

Najenda lays back on her throne chair, "I think I have an offer that will work for the best of both us,"

[A/N: Another chapter coming. Some parts were deleted from this chapter so I had to rewrite it. Dammit. But yeah whatever more coming. Keep on voting. Thanks for the support. Now its time to see the final choice next chapter.]

And yes I know Akame's behavior is different in this novel, but I do want her to have some kind of emotions and I will try my best to give every character some development while staying true to the original source, but I also add some extra things like Bulat having a girlfriend lol.

Be careful of an angry Akame, she will kill you in your sleep. Btw poor Tatsumi he gets no respect lol.
