Authors note: Hello everyone. This is my first story on the site. I decided to make this after the absolutly horrible ending to the anime and the story is half way done, I only need to edit and fix the typos so you can be expecting about one chapter every other day. As this is my first story and english is my second language I would really appreciate for you guys (and ladies) to review and comment on it. Be harsh if you need to, I can handle it don't you worry. Anyways, hope you enjoy.

Wave declared yet another fight over and yet another unskilled fighter the winner and Esdeath shifthed in her chair, she felt bored while watching the contestants fight .They were good but not nearly good enough for her to find it even amusing let alone interesting. It was like an apex predator watching its food play with itself. As she thought about leaving suddenly something perked her interest. She could almost some strange aura in the arena.

A young man came up to the battle ground, he couldnt have been more than eighteen He probaly wasn't even eighteen and he looked qiute small compared to his enemy. His enemy was a dark skinned giant of a man with a bull's head, with a body of pure muscle, and yet the young man showed no sign of fear, he stared at his oponent without a trace of fear on his face. It was like he contemplaining if he should deal with him at all, like the big man was inferior to him in every way.

Esdeath leaned out from her seat, finally seeing something interesting and not wanting to miss it. Run at her side commented about something about the young man but she wasn't listening as she was trying to figure out what exactly intrigued her so much in the young man's eyes.

Wave introduced him as a blacksmith from the countryside named Tatsumi which explained his well built body. Tatsumi looked calm while the big man taunted him, and Esdeath saw something in his forest green eyes for an instant, but before she could figure out what it was her subordinate signaled for the battle to start. And as soon as it started Esdeath knew that the young man was in life or death situations every day and was accustomed to it.

The giant came at the young man with full strenght at full speed, the young man named Tatsumi jumped into the air avoiding the blow from his opponent which hit floor and produced a cloud of dust upon impact. The young man then came back down with a kick which to the suprise of the whole arena although it was blocked by the man it sent him sliding eight feet away.

Tatsumi wasn't afraid of the large man who was his opponent. Tatsumi deafeated the Three Beasts, how could this man harm him? He steadied himself when he saw the man approaching again with speed unusual for a man of his size, as soon as Tatsumi was in arms reach the man came at him in flurry of punches which Tatsumi blocked effortlessly. Then Tatsumi went on the offensive and delivered two punches of his own in the man's gut, the man screamed out in pain and he looked like his eyes would pop out of his head.

The man recovered quickly though and went for an overhead attack with both hands leaving himself wide open. Tatsumi saw his chance, he stylishly kicked the men's legs out from under him and the he went up to the air to deliver a kick to man's head. He put all his strenght into the kick, and the man fell to the floor defeated and unconcious. Tatsumi looked around the arena as everyone was cheering for him before he put on his biggest grin as he realized that he won the tournament.

Esdeath was impressed with the young man's skill as was the now cheering crowd, and as was Run. The young man smiled, but it was not just any smile, it was a smile which was full of innocence, so pure and confindent. It hit her then, that young man, that boy was the one she was searching for, he fit all of the requirements on her list. She could train him, make him better, she could shape out of him the perfect general to stand by her side. She WOULD shape the perfect general out from him. He was the man she wanted to fall in love with. Esdeath came down to the battle ground.

"Tatsumi, that's your name, right?" she asked him and he nodded. "It's a nice name."

"T-thanks." he stammered and Esdeath found herself enjoying the sound of his voice very much.

"I would like to give you your reward." she approached him while searching for his reward in the inner pocket of her military uniform.

"Thank you very much." he responded, and the look on his face while she put the collar on him was one of total suprise and confussion. She thought it was really cute.

"You now belong to me. You will belong to me until the day when you can defeat me in actual combat." she said to him, and she turned around pulling him by his leash and dragged him away. He struggled but she hit a vulnerable spot on his neck and he started falling, first towards the floor then towards her arms. She liked the feeling of his body in her arms, she could feel his warmth, his hearth beating and she blushed, which was wierd because she never blushed before and she wasn't sure if she was liking it or not.

"Lets talk in my room. Just the two of us." she whispered into his ear, in a caring voice, a voice which she usually had to fake but now it was sincere.

Tatsumi barely managed to look up to his friends, he shook his head the best he could, he wasn't in control of his body, he couldn't move a single muscle. Although they had a look of horror on their faces, Leone and Lubba nodded which meant they understood, they shouldn't come to his rescue, it was too dangerous for them. Either he would escape on his own or he would be tortured and die under Esdeath's care. But Esdeath's voice was far from that of a mass murderer, sadist or sociopath, it was a gentle, caring voice.

"Could this be the same woman who killed thousands? A woman who was seen as a demon by her enemies and the public? And most importantly, a woman who just now kidnapped me?" asked Tatsumi himself. She looked otherwordly, that he had to admit though. She looked like a goodess but had something in her eyes which remindede him of a predator superior to him watching him from high up. It was a wierd combination. A caring and sweet voice, beautiful exterior and a totally immoral and corrupt interior coupled together with the most powerful Teigu there is.

He stopped struggling, it was pointless and her voice indicated, against all his instincts, that she would not harm him. She took him into her arms and carried him like he was her bride. He didn't know where he was going, he felt scared and embarrassed but at the same time he felt something in his chest, he didn't know what it was, but it felt wierd, warm almost. And he didn't trust it for one second.

"What is she doing to me?! Is she using her Teigu on me or what?" the questions rang in his mind as he was carried of to her torture room or that is what he guessed at least.

"Dammit! Why was I so greedy.' I just had to sing up on that stupid tournament."

Later that day…

Tatsumi slowly opened his eyes, it was too bright and he couldn't see anything. Where was he? It was too bright to be his room at the Night Raid HQ so where was he? Tatsumi sniffed the air and it smelt like roses and it only served to confuse Tatsumi even more. He then remembered her, and he felt dread crawl down his spine at the mere thought. Was he in a dungeon?!

Then he remembered that dungeons don't have windows. "So where am I?" he asked himself.

He opened his eyes again waiting for his eyes to adjust and after a few moments they had. The room he was in was huge, richly decorated and he saw he was in a large expensive looking bed. The room had big windows on two sides and a balcony. Where was he? He heard the door opening and Tatsumi quickly closed his eyes and started pretending he was asleep terrified that it was Esdeath.

"She is probably playing mind games with me, hoping to break me." Tatsumi concluded as the footsteps became louder and came closer. THe clicking of heels against the expensive white marble tiles.

Somebody came to his side, placed a gentle hand on his shoulder and then started caressing his face with a gentle touch akin to a mother's. Not that he ever knew how that felt because his parents died when he was still very young but he imagined it many times and in his mind it always felt like this. He felt a warm breath on his cheek.

He concluded that this person couldn't be his enemy and especially not Esdeath so he slowly opened his eyes again. His heart nearly gave out when he saw who it was caressing his face. It was Esdeath! Her long and slender shape, her beautiful face framed by her blue hair and her eyes like big sapphires, giving her alredy beautiful face the look of something truly celestial. Tatsumi blushed instanteniously and she flinched when she saw he was awake and she blushed too, averting his eyes. Why did she flinch, and why did she blush and why did she caress him, all those questions went through his head.

"You are awake, good. You probably wonder where you are." she said to him, her face still red but she decided to pretend like nothing had happened.

"Where am I?" asked Tatsumi not really expecting an answer but he still ahd to ask.

"You are in my bedchamber." At that he suddenly felt dizzy adn he looked around for an ecape route but he could find none and Esdeath was probably too fast for him to out run her.

"What am I doing here?" he asked himself but not daring to ask her because he feared the answer.

"Why am I here?" he asked fearfully. Her face formed a half-smile half-smirk which terrified him to the bone.

"You are here because you have great potential, and I want to help you achieve that potential. You need not to worry, I won't harm you." she responded, and he felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders. She didn't know that he was with Night Raid and she would probably let him go.

"Unless you…want me to." she said and the same smile as before appeared on her face sending another chill down his spine only now it was even scarier because there was a look fo mischief on her face. But she backed down when she saw his expression.

"That was close." he thought as she backed down. "Why do you care?" he asked her after a few moments.

"This might sound strange to you but when I saw you fight, when I saw that cute smile of your's" she smiled warmly and pinched his cheek "I fell in love with you." she said it almost shyly and with clear embaresment putting both her hands on her chest where her heart was like she was a shy maiden and not a feared general and grown woman.

"W-wh-what?!" he screamed and he tried to run but she was way too fast jsut as he thought. She caught him and she hugged him so tightly he couldn't breath, his head between her big breasts. "Why is this happening to me? Damn it! Why?!" he wanted to scream.

"You will soon join the Jaegers, probably in a day or two, but now you need to get breakfast and come to the meeting hall to meet the rest of the team with which you are going to be working with." she said and he couldn't belive his ears, him joining the Jaegers, Night Raid's enemy.

"This has to be a dream." he muttered still not believing it was really happening.

"Now you should get dressed up and ready and don't even think about running, I won't let you escape me. You will stay by my side until the end of time." she said and she kissed him on his cheek and then on his forehead. He felt his face turning red yet again and he just stared at her in disbelief. Underneath his confused expression he was also angry but he tried not to show it to his enemy becuase no matter what she says she is still his enemy.

"You are n-not what i expected you to be," he said to her without thinking and unable to stop himself he continued "you are warm and kind, not the ice-queen which I expected. " He lied on the last part because he didn't want to say that he thought that she was acting kindness, to him it just seemed not belivable that someone could kill thousands and then fall in love witha stranger and behave like that in front of him. He thought she would be angry at him for saying that he thoguht of her as an ice-queen before but she only smiled nonchalantly but he saw a gleam in her eye like he had given her the first compliment in her life. He cursed himself for it.

"I like you Tatsumi and I would never hurt you, I promise you that. I could never be cold to you like I am cold to the imbecils which fight when htey don't have a clue about fighting. These feelings I have," she said and put a hand to her chest again "I have never experienced them before but I would never hurt you unless you tell me you want me to hurt you." Her beautiful blue eyes stared into his and he belived her. He didn't know why, he just did and he hated both her and himself for it but it was unmistakble, somehting in her eyes told him that she wouldn't harm him even though he didn't want it to be so. He wanted to cut her in half like he did with Aria and be done with it but he had made a promise to Akame that he wouldn't die and a suicide attack on Esdeath would be considered breaking that promise so instead he kept his anger and hate under control and decided to sharp them and use them at the right time to eliminate Esdeath. Maybe she wouldn't harm him but she certainly would kill all his friends without any hesetation and he could not allow that.
