Random fic, right? A Seryu/Tatsumi/Akame fic? I'll explain:

Flashback:

Lunar (my brother): You know, I actually considered Seryu and Tatsumi. In fact, I kinda ship them.

Me: Still ship Tatsumi and Akame, right?

Lunar: Yeah. Duh.

Me: Well, hey, Tatsumi and Seryu could have been cute.

Lunar: Hmm… could you write a Tatsumi/Seryu fic for a brother?

Me: Mmm…

Flashback ends

So I decided to spice things up with Akame. So yeah.

Disclaimer: Blah blah blah I don't own it blah.

Chapter 1: The Insane

The Imperial Army wouldn't let me join. So there was one alternative to that problem…

Join the Imperial Police.

They seemed happy for me to join, in fact. Everything seemed ready for me: an optional suit of Imperial armor, an Imperial sword, and a partner.

I frowned at this as I went up to meet her during the patrol. I put the gauntlets of the armor on my forearms so whoever it was didn't think I was a part of the rabble.

Or worse, a member of Night Raid finding an opening.

I checked the schedule. I had reached my destination when she changed shifts. I sighed.

The Imperial City is huge, I thought.

I went back, as I had passed her current shift earlier.

After about ten minutes of searching, I found her.

No, that's not my partner, I thought. It can't be.

My partner turned around.

I'm not that lucky.

"My justice radar is picking up something!" she cried.

She went over to me, dragging some kind of rubber barrel behind her.

After reaching me, she brushed herself off, sending dust in the air.

She was my age, a young woman with auburn hair in a ponytail. Her eyes were the same gentle shade of auburn, and her kind face didn't exactly belong here.

"Excuse me, sir, are you in any trouble?" she asked me.

I frowned and said, "I'm supposed to be meeting my partner here…"

"Huh. I was told I was supposed to be meeting someone…"

The thing she was dragging behind her started hopping up and down and made some kind of 'kyew' sound.

She frowned and then her eyes widened in realization.

"You're my partner," she said, reaching the same conclusion I was.

I nodded. I hadn't really believed it at first, but I supposed it was the truth.

She thrust her hand to me and greeted, "Seryu Ubiquitious"

I shook it and returned, "Tatsumi."

The little thing said 'kyew' a few more times. It was some kind of dog with a barrel-shaped body.

Seryu picked him up and told me, "Oh, this is Coro. He is my Imperial Arms."

I'd never heard of such a thing. "What are those?"

We started walking, doing our patrol.

"What? Dogs or Imperial Arms?"

"The Imperial Arms. What are those?"

"Oh. They're ancient, powerful weapons that are specific to certain users."

"What does that mean?"

"Only certain people can use certain Imperial Arms. A lot of powerful people in the Imperial Army tried out to use Coro, but none could react to him. They searched lower ranks, and they tested me. Coro reacted to my need for justice and he became my partner.

"Or, as of now, one of my partners."

I nodded, getting a picture.

Something dark passed on Seryu's face. She asked me, "What is justice to you, Tatsumi?"

I thought and told her, "Justice… it's the way I'm going to save my village."

Seryu's smile returned and she nodded.

"What is it to you?" I asked.

"Justice is a system used to punish evildoers," Seryu told me, that darkness passing on her face again.

Last I had checked, cute girls didn't get slightly insane looks on their faced while talking about justice.

She stiffened, board-straight. Then she grabbed my arm and started running.

I struggled to keep up as I asked, "Where are we going?!"

"Night Raid," is all she told me.

I didn't like the sound of that.

R&R guys!
