First of I would like to say this: I WILL NOT BE UPDATING REGULARLY
Now that, that's off my chest I would like to say something: this is something I am writing whenever I feel like or have time to write.
If I were you I'd follow this story, leave then come back when there are more chapters because you might need to wait a long time between chapters and might get lost or forget whats happening in the story. Just saying.
Anyways I got into watching anime, specifically Akame Ga Kill if you hadn't noticed yet, and I finished watching the whole season. So I started reading fanfictions on it and had a crazy idea to ignore my other fanfictions/stories and write this cause why the hell not?
This is only for my amusement I dont expect people to read it but if you read it thank you.
*I MAY ABANDON THIS HALFWAY THROUGH*
If I stop updating dont be surprised. Anyways you've been warned.
BTW I changed my name from Black Wolf 102 to EnderWolf89 for those wondering why they are following a guy they never heard of.
"Mom do you think Esdeath will return?" I asked my mother who was lying to my right in her own sleeping bag. We were laying in our small hut that was sheltering us from the blizzard going on outside the hide walls.
"Of course she will. She is a strong lady and the chief's daughter nonetheless. Why are you asking? Worried for her?" She said getting up on one elbow.
"What? No" I said trying to hide my blush that formed despite the cold "I just…. Don't want her to break her promise"
"promise?" My mother teased me "Is my little Tatsumi falling for a certain blue haired beauty?"
"Mom! We're just friends" I exclaimed a bit too fast
"Aw young love. So sweet" She said making him blush furiously. "What was the promise?"
"We were supposed to spar. We promised to not back down."
He did care for her and didn't want her to get hurt but he knew she was strong. He just… missed her. Yeah missed her. He did have certain feelings for the chief's daughter but was one of them love?
"Better to think it over tomorrow" I murmured to myself
Getting more comfortable in my sleeping bag, I fell asleep looking straight at the top of our hut.
Waking up in the morning I looked over to my mom's sleeping bag to find it empty. I sighed at the conversation we had yesterday.
"Just have to push it deep into my mind and forget about it. Can't have myself be distracted by puny feelings that I'm not even sure exist."
Getting up I got myself dressed in my favorite hide clothing feeling like today will be a good day. Pausing at the door I looked back feeling as if I was leaving something behind. Shaking my head I left the hut through the fur door.
Stepping out into the fresh snow I took in a deep breath feeling the cold air fill up my lungs. Quickly releasing it letting out steam through my mouth. Looking around I watched as kids ran around and men sharpened their spears and knives.
The Partas Clan. The clan I was born into and raised by. Everyone here even if not related by blood was my family. Here I was taught that the strong live and the weak die. Trained under the watchful eyes of my elders fixing my mistakes and enhancing my skills.
Jogging to the center of the village I passed by many of my friends and mentor greeting each one of them with a 'good morning' and a wave of a hand. The center of the village was a big circle. In the north the chief's hut stood tall and proud towering over the smaller huts. In the east stood a similar hut that was wider and not as tall, that was the kitchen/dining hall. In the west was the village's armory holding all of our spare and broken weapons with anything else precious we find. In the south was a hut that held our pantry. In the center of all this was a big fire pit used for ceremonies and as a source of light at night.
Stepping in the kitchen/dining hall I was hit by a smell of cooked meat and different spices.
"Good morning Tatsumi. How was your sleep?" My mother asked me upon entering as she chopped herbs with a knife. "Dream of a certain girl?" she asked with a sparkle in her eyes when she looked up.
"No, I didn't dream last night." I replied plainly trying to avoid any teasing.
The other females in the room stopped what they were doing and looked up when they heard our conversation.
"Tatsumi falling for a girl? That's a first. Who is it?" My aunt asked curious putting her hands on her hips.
"Its none other th-" my mom started saying but I stopped her before she can spread the news of my hidden affection for the blue eyed girl.
"MOM!" I exclaimed giving her a look.
"okay! Guess can't tell you" she said to her sister shrugging apologizing.
"Okay fine but I will find out one way or another" My aunt said narrowing her eyes and returned to her pot over the fire, as did everyone else in the room.
I sighed and left to go outside. I breathed in the cold summer air as I felt my cheeks cool down making my blush disappear. As I was looking around all I saw was snow all the way beyond what the eye could see.
"Tatsumi! Over here!" I heard my name being called out. Looking over I saw the chief beckoning me over.
"We will go hunting soon today. What do you think about joining us? You might even get your first kill if you do" He asked
"I'm always ready for a good hunt. I am a hunter after all." I said
"Yes you are. Your father would have been proud. If only he'd been stronger. Anyways we're leaving in an hour get ready."
"Ok will do" I said turning around and heading back to my hut to prepare for the hunt.
I grabbed my hunting knives from near my sleeping bag. Sitting down on the bag I took a whetstone from near my bed and started sharpening the knives until the time for the hunt came.
0o0o0
"That was an amazing hunt chief" I said
"Yeah the way you took down the lizard was incredible" said one of the older men who was pulling the corpse with five other men.
"That's what he gets for being weaker than me. Only the strong may live and the weak must die. Remember that comrades. Never grow weak."
We were on our way back to the village with our loot when the sun was slowly starting to set causing the sun to slowly start turn orange.
"Maybe one day you'll be as good of a hunter as me Tatsumi. You have great potential" The chief said. I smiled
"Thank you it means a lot coming from a strong hunter like you"
"Let's head back and cook the meat and store the spoils for the market" he replied to the men who voiced their opinions on it.
Once we got to the village all the hunters split up and went their separate ways, while the men that were pulling the corpse pulled it to the center of the town to have its meat cut and brought to the pantry. I went my separate way and went to my hut looking for my mother.
"Mom?" I called out entering the hut but got no response. Her sleeping bag was the way I left it a few hours ago meaning that she was in the kitchen all day preparing a feast. Walking in I decided to take a small nap to regain some energy I lost during the hunt. I was about to lay down when I heard commotion coming from outside. Curious I went outside.
Coming from the north I saw horsemen running towards us with their swords and spears out. We were under attack.
"A northern tribe" I muttered to myself. I watched as the chief and some men ran out to meet the riders with weapons drawn. I was amazed how the chief started cutting down riders with ease but more just kept coming. He couldn't get to all of them and many went past him heading straight for the village.
I watched in horror as the people closest to the enemy were immediately killed. Limbs, heads and blood took up to the sky. As the sky turned red in the evening so did the snow on the ground. I quickly ran towards the center of the village hoping to get there before any rider did. I watched as people ran past me to intercept the riders that were invading their homeland.
"Mom!" I screamed when I barged into the kitchen. Eyes wide in panic I looked around scanning everyone but didn't see my mother, I just saw my aunt and other females.
"Where is she?!" I screamed in fright.
"She went to fight" My aunt replied timidly.
"And you didn't stop her?" I screamed. Making her cower in fear from my tone.
I ran back outside to see everything in chaos. I saw bodies littering the floor. My friends, the enemies, everyone littering the floor making the living trip over them. I saw smoke rising on the north of the village where the attack started. Looking around I found a sword lying near a body. Running over I reached for it but jumped back as the seemingly dead body stood up.
It was someone from the northern tribe that had his stomach cut open but kept it in with one hand. His hand covered in blood holding a sword pointing it at me. This couldn't be easier, he was already injured fatally. I started running towards him. In panic he just swung his sword trying his best to kill me. Getting down unto my knees I slid towards the guy. I felt the sword pass over my head as I closed the distance between us. I punched him where he was cut open making him drop the sword in pain. Grabbing it midair I swung it with both hands at his neck making his liquid of life spray on the ground and huts around us.
By the time his headless body hit the floor I was already on the move.
I started looking fanatically trying to find her. Around me people were fighting and huts were on fire. The snow under my feet was red with blood as bodies kept on hitting the floors. People were slipping on their comrades blood dying themselves adding to the carnage. Two saw me defeat their fellow tribesman and came towards me grinning.
Getting into a battle stance I readied the sword. Even though the sword was unbalanced in my hand it was all I had to protect myself from the enemies around me.
Both of them thinking I was inexperienced they rushed me. Dodging the first one I sliced his gut open making him drop to his knees, putting a hand to cover the slice, and parried the others attack. Not giving him time to recuperate over his friends demise I quickly slashed at his knees making him fall to them and then swung my sword down hard at his hunched over form freeing him from his head. Then I walked over to his friends and trust my sword through his back to the hilt.
"That's what you get for invading my homeland" I whispered in his ears before I let go of his body making it fall, adding to the corpses.
I started running around looking for my mother. With each passing second my heart was cracked further open. I watched as my friends and family were cut down. Each dying a gruesome death.
Running around a hut I finally saw her but I wish I didn't. Surrounded her were a group of people. Her clothes at her feet as they took turns pleasuring themselves.
"NO!" I screamed on the top of my lungs. I felt my body started to shake in rage and my vision turned red. All I saw was red. I felt something inside me break, not caring I ran towards them.
All of their eyes looked up at me. My mother looked at me with tears in her eyes saying something but I didn't hear.
I started slashing with my sword. Not expecting an attack while having fun, they weren't ready to engage in an attack much less defend themselves from a raging person. I cut down two before I felt something hit my head from behind.
I fell down headfirst into the ground. I tried getting up was a foot pushed me to the ground.
"Stop!" I heard a commanding voice yell "Let the boy live. He's young." I heard. I felt as someone turned me unto my back.
My vision dizzy I just saw someone tower over me and laugh.
"This will be a good lesson. What is your clan's motto kid? The strong live and the weak die? Well then the chief didn't prove it very well since he was one of the first one dead. You have potential, and this will only fuel it tremendously." I heard before his shoe came down on my face causing me see black.
