A/N- Hey everyone! Thanks for reading my fanfic. This idea suddenly came to me one day and I decided to roll with it to see where it goes. I hope you like what I did in the first chapter. Qrow is one of my favorite RWBY characters and their seems to be no xovers like this where he goes to another world so I thought that would be interesting. I choose AgK because I thought he would fit in given his line of work and he can make a difference as well.

For a heads up, I will be giving Night Raid Aura and Semblances, but I would like suggestions for what the Semblances should be.

Be sure to leave a review.

Disclaimer- I OWN NOTHING!

To say that things were not going as planned would be an understatement. First thing Tatsumi learns upon reaching the capital is that there is a massive influx of applicants for the military, meaning that his chances of rising through the ranks quickly are slim to nil, closer to nil. But fortunately for him, a ray of sunshine appeared to brighten his day.

This ray came in the form of a nice pair of brea- a nice woman who said that she had inside information on how to quickly rise up through the ranks and become an officer in no time. All he had to do was treat her to a meal. Unfortunately for Tatsumi, he had neglected to predict just how much the woman would eat and drink. Mostly drink as she was currently sitting across the table from him with quite the healthy shade of red dusting her face, indicating that at the very least she was buzzed. The numerous empty bottles of alcohol tantamount to that fact.

As the woman finished taking a swig from her mug she slammed it on the table before exhaling deeply. "Haaahhhh... Yeah~. Alcohol in the daytime really hits the spot!" she said as she slapped her free hand against the table.

Tatsumi on the other hand looked rather downtrodden as the woman continued to drink away. "You're drinking without too much regard for me." he said to the drunkard.

"Just drink lad! Let's have some fun!" she cheered.

"Just tell me how I can get commissioned." Tatsumi said dryly.

"Oohh..." she started as she picked up a full shot glass. "That's basically connections and cash." she then raised her glass and downed its contents in one swig.

"Cash...?" asked Tatsumi.

"I've got a contact in the army. Show him some money and you'll be on the fast track in no time." the woman said as she poured herself another glass.

"I see..." Tatsumi said as he rummaged through his pack for something. "Will this be enough?" he asked as he placed a large sack of coins on the table.

The woman's eyes widened in surprise. "Wow~! Definitely enough. You got quite a bit here."

"I was hunting danger beasts and getting rewards along the way as I traveled here. I'd say I did pretty good all things considered." Tatsumi boasted.

"I see... so you're strong then." the woman said almost somberly, but her mood quickly changed back to its original state. "This'll get you to captain right away." she said as she grabbed the sack of gold and threw it over her shoulder. "Just leave everything to Onee-san here~." the woman then got up from her seat and headed for the exit.

"Yeah! I'll leave it to you!" Tatsumi said in excitement, completely oblivious to the true nature of his deal.

The woman turned to wave at Tatsumi. "I think you'll learn a lot from your meeting with me young lad. M'kay. I'll go settle this so wait here for me." she said with a wink.

'Okay~!" Tatsumi waved back with a goofy smile on his face.

Meanwhile, nearby at the bar, sitting on one of the stools was a man who had taken a partial interest in their conversation. The man had black hair that was mostly slicked back save for his bangs that fell forward, along with faint stubble along his jawline. He wore a gray dress shirt with a long tail, black dress pants, black dress shoes, and a red tattered cloak. Several rings adorned his fingers and he wore a necklace with a crooked cross-shaped pendant. His red eyes gazed at the small glass in his hands, the bronze liquid swishing around as he rolled his wrist.

"Feh... kid doesn't even realize he just got swindled." he said as he brought the glass up to his lips and downed its contents.

"Mhmm." the bartender nodded in agreement as he cleaned one of the glasses and returned it to the rack. "You didn't feel like warning him?"

The man placed the empty glass back on the counter. "Nah, some lessons are best learned the hard way. Another." the man said as he shook his glass.

The bartender reached behind the bar and grabbed the particular bottle he had been serving to this particular customer. He then pooped the top and poured the man another glass. "So, what brings you to the capital?"

"Hnn, just traveling I suppose. Somehow I ended up here. Mind telling me the word of the street? Anything interesting?" the man asked as he grabbed his glass again.

"Nothing that you can't find out from anyone else. The capital is full of corruption. The nobles look down on us commoners and treat us like trash for the most part. Then you have the government and the heavy taxes that they force on the villages outside the capital. They're bleeding them dry and no one is doing a thing about it." the bartender sighed. "This place is full of monsters worse than any danger beast."

"It's the ones that hide in the flesh of man that are the most frightening." the man said as he gazed into his reflection in his drink before downing it as well.

"Another sir?"

"Nope. I think that'll be all for now." the man said as he stood up from his seat. He reached into his pocket and pulled out some coins that he had 'appropriated' and set them down on the counter.

"Thank you. Please come again."

The man reached down beside his seat and grabbed his sword that was leaning against the bar as well as a large rucksack that stood alongside it. He hefted the sack over his shoulder and headed out of the bar and onto the streets. This was the third bar he had been to and still no progress on finding out anything about his current predicament. Just more of the same story of 'the capital is dangerous'. Sure he had picked up some useful information such as that regarding to the danger beasts, however they just sounded like Grimm to him.

"I know where I am... but not where I am." he said as he made his way down the street, heading to the next likely source of information. The capital was large and, although the chances were slim, there was still the possibility that the next bar would have the information he needed. "I wonder how Oz is holding up without me. I need to find a way back to Remnant as soon as possible."

After a few hours going from bar to bar with little success, the man decided to start looking in a new direction. Perhaps this world had legends of dimension traveling beings or objects. If so, then there would be a good chance that they would be written of in a book. So the man decided to head for the nearest bookstore. It didn't take long as he happened upon a store called 'Book Night'. It was a plain looking store from the outside and when he headed in it was more or less the same. Books lined the shelves and small signs listed the various genres in each area.

"Ah, a new customer!" came a voice from the back of the room. Soon after a boy no older then 17 stepped into view. He wore a green jacket and had matching green hair with a set of red goggles strapped on top. "Welcome to my humble shop. Is there anything I can help you search for?"

"You own this shop?" asked the man incredulously.

"Yep!" the young man said proudly as he crossed his arms. "Why do you ask?"

"Meh, no reason. Just that you seem a little on the young side."

"That makes it all the more impressive! Does it not?" the green haired teen boasted.

"I guess so... Anyway, I was hoping to find a book of old legends and myths. You got anything like that?"

"Hmm, not much. I do have a few books, but not a very extensive collection of them. They're over in the fictional history section." the teen said as he pointed over to the corner.

"Thanks. I'll give it a look." the man said as he made his way over to the section. He began rifling through the bookshelf looking for anything relevent, but his search was turning up empty. Nothing that would explain his current situation. "Damn, maybe it was a Semblance after all."

Just as he was about to give up, a book caught his eye. The Legend of the Teigu. "Teigu?" the man said questioningly as he reached for the book. He opened it up and began to skim through the pages. According to the book, teigu were powerful weapons and items that were capable of impressive feats. They were constructed by the first Emperor as a way to combat the danger beasts, but had since scattered across the land. Inside the book was a list of known teigu. As the man skimmed the list, his eyes stopped on one teigu in particular. Skeleton Key: Reserare. According to the book, the key had the ability to open any lock or door. It also theorized that the key could open the doors between dimensions. The concept of alternate dimensions was something the man was skeptical of, but given his situation he decided to give it the benefit of doubt.

The man took the book up to the counter where he paid for it and then left. He finally had a promising lead. After leaving the bookstore, the man headed to a nearby park to read. He sat down on one of the benches and became absorbed in the book, taking in every detail about the teigu. "Damn, these are some pretty dangerous weapons if what this says about them is true."

Soon nightfall was upon him and the man needed to find a place to stay for the night. He was out of money and any viable marks to steal from were no longer on the streets, so it seemed that he would have to rough it outside for the night. Nothing he wasn't used to already.

The man found himself a nice place to sleep leaning up against a nearby fountain. He pulled a blanket out of his rucksack and threw it over himself before closing his eyes. Not long after he did so he heard the steady sound of horse hooves clacking against the stone road. They were getting closer and closer until they were practically right on top of him.

"Stop the carriage!" shouted a female voice to which the mans eyes cracked open. In front of him was an ornate carriage driven by two horses. There was a guard sitting at the reigns along with another two standing alongside him, and inside were two people. A young woman and, coincidentally enough, the young man who the man had seen get swindled at the bar earlier that day. "It seems that we have run across another poor soul who is left out on the streets."

"Again my lady? But we just picked up one." came the guards voice.

"I can't help it. Seeing those in need just brings out my inner kindness." said the girl as she stepped out of the carriage and approached the man. "Hello there."

"...Hello." came the mans delayed response.

"Tell me, are you here from the country?"

The man shrugged. "Something like that."

"And you are without a place to stay, no?"

"Nope. Just sleeping outside because I like the feeling of cold, hard stone against my back." he answered.

"Are you joking with me?" the girl asked as she tilted her head in confusion.

"Yep."

"Oh! Well, if you don't have a place to stay, then you are welcome to stay at my house."

The man was grateful for the girls offer, but he didn't have anyway of paying her for the hospitality. "Sorry toots, but I don't have any money to give you in return."

"Well of course you don't. Why else would you be sleeping outside?"

It was then that two of the guards approached. "Lady Aria can't leave people in need alone." said one of the guards.

"You should just accept her goodwill." recommended the other.

"What do you want to do?" asked the now named Aria.

"Well... I suppose it beats sleeping outside." the man was a bit skeptical of the offer, especially after what he had heard about all the nobles, but decided to go along with it for now. "Sure, I'll take you up on your offer."

"Then it's settled~." said Aria with a bright smile as she led the man over to the carriage. The two got in and soon were on their way again. "So tell me, what's your name?"

"Qrow." answered the man.

"Crow? What an odd name. You were named after a bird?" asked Aria.

"Kind of. But it's spelled Q-R-O-W."

"Oh, what an interesting name! Mine is Aria, but I'm sure you already figured that out." Aria said with a wave.

"And I'm Tatsumi." said the young man sitting across from Qrow.

"Yeah, you're that kid who got swindled out of all his money by the big breasted woman."

"WHAT?! You saw that?! Why didn't you say anything?!"

Qrow reached into his jacket and pulled out a flask. He unscrewed the top and took a swig from it. "The way I see it, some lessons are better learned the hard way." he said as he screwed the top back on his flask and returned it to his jacket pocket. "She had you hook, line, and sinker."

"Grrr, damn old man." Tatsumi grumbled

"Hey, don't call me old. I'm only 39."

"That's old in my book." said Tatsumi with a shit eating grin as he leaned back with his arms crossed.

"Tch, damn brat."

Soon enough the carriage stopped at a large and impressive mansion.

"Well, here we are." Aria said as she got out of the carriage. Qrow and Tatsumi followed suit as Aria led them to the front door. "It's not much, but I hope you like our house." she said as she opened the door and led them inside.

The inside of the house was just as impressive as the outside. It was lined with fancy artwork, furniture, and other nick-nacks. Qrow was somewhat impressed by its appearance, but he didn't let it show. Tatsumi on the other hand was gaping in awe at everything he saw. Aria made her way through the rooms with Qrow and Tatsumi following behind her until they reached the living room. Inside were some guards along with two adults who were surely Aria's parents.

"Ah, it seems Aria has brought in some more people." said the father.

"What a habit." responded the mother.

"I am Arthur. And it is with a humble heart that I welcome you to our home." spoke the father.

"And I am Margaret." said the mother.

"A pleasure to meet you!" said Tatsumi with a bow. "My name is Tatsumi and I am very grateful for your hospitality!"

"The name's Qrow. And though I may not show it like him," he said as he pointed to Tatsumi. "I am also thankful for you bringing me in."

"It's quite alright~. Make yourself at home." said Aria.

"Excuse me, there's also something I'd like to ask." spoke Tatsumi.

"Oh, and what would that be?" asked Arthur.

Tatsumi and Qrow took a seat on the couch before Tatsumi began regaling his tale of how he came to the capital in order to make it big in the military.

"I see, you want to become successful in the army in order to save your village." spoke Arthur.

"Yes." answered Tatsumi.

"What a wonderful dream." said Aria.

"But you know, it may be peaceful inside the Imperial capital, but this country is surrounded on three sides by different races. You could be brought over to the borders to fight against them." explained Arthur.

"I'm... prepared for that." said Tatsumi resolutely.

"I see, that's a commendable spirit. That's how the young should be."

"Did you come from that village by yourself Tatsumi?" asked Aria.

"No, with two other people actually..." Tatsumi said as he spoke of his friends Sayo and Ieyasu who had left with him and gotten separated.

"Oh dear. You poor thing." said Margaret.

"Those guys are strong so I'm not really worried. Just that Ieyasu is tremendously bad with directions, so I don't know if he can get to the capital where we're supposed to meet." said Tatsumi.

"I see!" Arthur said as he smacked his hand against the table. "I'll recommend you to an acquaintance in the military, and investigate hose two as well."

"Really?! Thank you so much!"

It was faint, but for some reason Qrow had the feeling that the man wasn't being entirely honest. Call it intuition, but he didn't feel like he could completely trust these people.

"And what of you Qrow? What brings you to the capital?" asked Aria.

"I'm... looking for something." he said cryptically.

"Oh, and what might this something be?"

"Sorry, but that is a secret." he said as he brought a finger up to his lips.

"Hmm, well I suppose we are all entitled to our own secrets, so I won't fault you for that." Arthur said as he got up out of his chair. "Alright. Why don't we leave it at that for now? This seems like a good enough time to turn in."

"Agreed." spoke Qrow.

"Umm, is there anything I can do to help while I'm here?" asked Tatsumi.

"Oh! You can be my body guard with the others." exclaimed Aria. "What about you Qrow? Would you like to help out as well?"

"I suppose so. It would be the least I can do."

"It's settled then. Gauri-kun, I'll let you handle it." Arthur said as he addressed one of the guards.

The guard nodded in understanding. "Understood."

The family retired to their rooms for the night while Tatsumi and Qrow were led to the guest rooms. Qrow placed his sword and bag against the wall before hopping in bed and taking one last drink from his flask. "Something ain't right here. I can just feel it."

The next day Aria decided to go for a shopping trip and dragged Qrow and Tatsumi alongside her standard guards. Both Qrow and Tatsumi watched with shocked expressions as two of the guards who were with Aria were becoming completely over encumbered by the sheer amount of things she was buying.

"We're going to that shop next!" she said cheerfully as she led the guards along.

"Her shopping's amazing, isn't it? The amount is just getting silly now." said Gauri. "It's not just limited to her. All girls are like that."

"Is that so? The one I know know's what to pick right away." Tatsumi said as he though of Sayo.

"Gotta agree with Gauri here. My nieces love to go shopping as well." said Qrow as he leaned up against the carriage.

"Anyway, look up." Gauri said as he arched his neck back.

"Huh?" uttered Tatsumi.

"That's the center of the capital, the palace." Gauri said as the three gazed upon the massive structure above them.

"Seems a bit flashy to me." spoke Qrow.

"Humongous! Is that where the Emperor who controls the country is?!" asked Tatsumi.

"No..." said Gauri as his eyes shifted about before leaning in close to Tatsumi and Qrow. "It's a little different... There's an Emperor, but he's a child right now. The one that controls the Emperor from the shadows is the Minister. He's the ringleader that's rotting this country."

"Wha-!"

Gauri quickly put his hand over Tatsumi's mouth. "Whoah there. Don't go making any noise, alright? Heads will be rolling if you're heard."

"Then, the reason my village is suffering from heavy taxes..." Tatsumi said with clenched fists.

"It's the capital's common sense." Gauri said.

"Yeah. You can hear it in just about any bar if you listen well enough." said Qrow.

"Then there's guys like that as well." Gauri said as he pointed to some posters on a nearby wall.

"... Night Raid?" Tatsumi said as he read the poster.

"It's the group of assassins that's rattling the whole capital." answered Gauri. "Just as their name implies, they conduct nocturnal attacks on their targets. They mainly target high ranking or wealthy individuals in the capital. Just prepare yourself in case."

"Yes!" Tatsumi said as he raised his fist.

'Also... go do something about that for now." Gauri said as he pointed in another direction. Tatsumi and Qrow looked on in shock as the other two guards were following Aria whilst carrying an enormous box.

"Dear god! How much does she plan on buying?!"

Just as the guards got closer, one of them tripped on a broken stone and tumbled. The box in their hands flying out of their grip and its contents spilling out over Tatsumi in an avalanche, completely burying him.

"Sorry!" said one of the guards.

Tatsumi emerged from the pile soon after. "No problem." he grumbled.

Meanwhile Qrow had reached into his jacket and pulled out his flask again.

Later that night when most of the house was asleep save for its owners... it happened. Tatsumi shot up out of bed once he felt a rather ominous feeling. "What's this? Blood thirst?!" he quickly grabbed his sword and rushed out the door where he was greeted by Qrow.

"You felt that too?" Qrow asked.

"Yeah. What's going on?"

"I'd hazard a guess at saying we're under attack."

The two of them rushed down the halls looking for whatever or whoever was emitting such bloodlust. and soon came to a stop in front of a window. They looked out into the sky and there above, standing on wires, were a group of five with the moon to their backs.

"That's... Night Raid!" shouted Tatsumi.

"Seems like it kid."

"They're targeting this place as well?! Just because they're wealthy?!"

"Maybe..." muttered Qrow. "You try and stay alive. I need to check something out that's been bothering me." Qrow said as he took off down the hall.

"Wait! Don't leave me!" Tatsumi shouted. but Qrow was already gone. He was surprisingly fast. "Damn it!" Tatsumi cursed as he looked back out the window to see several of the guards going out to fight.

'Shit! Do I help them, or go protect Aria?!' Tatsumi thought as he watched in silent horror as the guards were quickly dispatched by the assassins. 'In one moment... Annihilated?! At the very least I have to protect Aria-san!' he thought as he grit his teeth and took off down the hall.

After a short search he found Aria along with the last guard who were heading towards a warehouse out back. "Aria! I finally found you!"

"Tatsumi!" shouted Aria.

"You came at just the right moment!" shouted the guard. "We'll run to the warehouse and wait for the guards to come! You hold them off in the meantime!"

"WHAAA?! That's crazy!" Tatsumi shouted, but turned around when he suddenly heard someone land behind him. It was one of the assassins he recognized from the wanted posters, Akame. "Argh! Damn it! I won't let you pass!" he said as he drew his sword.

The girl however, had no interest in him. "Not a target." she said monotonously as she jumped over Tatsumi and stepped on his shoulder to propel herself forward. She landed behind him and ran towards the guard.

"Fuck! She's coming this way!" The guard said as he raised his gun to fire at her, but when he pulled the trigger nothing happened. "A jam?! But I just took this out of the armory!" he shouted as the girl bore down on him and slashed at him horizontally, cutting him cleanly in half.

Akame then approached the fallen Aria with her blade pointed at her. "Target, eliminate."

"Wait Damn it!" Tatsumi shouted as he lunged at Akame and slashed at her with his sword. She easily back-stepped to avoid he strike and now Tatsumi stood in between her and Aria.

"You are not a target. There's no need to kill you." said Akame.

"But you're planning to kill this girl, right?!" shouted Tatsumi.

"Uh huh." Akame nodded.

"Uh huh?!" Tatsumi was somewhat caught off guard by her bluntness.

"I'll kill you if you get in the way, you know." she said stoically.

"Like I'd run because of that!" shouted Tatsumi as he leveled his sword at Akame.

"I see..." Akame said as she began to emit bloodlust. "Then I'll eliminate."

'At the very least she's not someone who I can currently beat, but... I can't be worrying about that! Besides, there's no way a guy who can't save a single girl, could possibly save an entire village in the first place!' And with that thought Tatsumi rushed at Akame who in turn charged him as well.

The duo clashed swords before breaking apart from their stance. Tatsumi attempted to sweep at Akame's legs, but she jumped up instead and delivered a powerful kick to Tatsumi's shoulder. He recoiled in pain as she drove her blade forward in an attempt to skewer him, but just before it made contact, another large sword landed in the ground between the two of them and blocked her attack.

"Alright kiddies. I think that's enough playing around." came a rugged voice that Tatsumi recognized. He looked to the treeline and saw Qrow standing there in a post swing pose. It was his sword that had just saved Tatsumi's life.

"You are?" asked Akame.

"Name's Qrow. And unfortunately for you I can't allow you to kill an innocent."he said as he took out his signature flask and took a sip from it.

"Is this really the time to be drinking?!" shouted Tatsumi.

"I don't see why not. I was just in that warehouse, and quite frankly I need something to make me forget the horrors inside." he said somberly before turning his attention to Akame. "Feel free to kill the girl. I'll make sure Tatsumi doesn't interrupt."

"WHAT?! You're one of them?!" screamed Tatsumi.

"No, but that girl has to die."

"WHY?! Why does an innocent girl have to die?!"

"Innocent?" came a new voice, female by the sound of it. "Trust me, she is anything but innocent." said the newcomer as she made her way over to the group. She wore a very revealing outfit and had waist length blonde hair. "Hey there lad!" she spoke as she waved at Tatsumi.

"! You're the boob-" he started as he pointed at the woman.

"Yep! I'm the beautiful Onee-san from that time." said the woman. She then turned to face Qrow. "How did you figure it out?"

"I could smell it from the house." he answered to which most of the group quirked a brow but let it go nonetheless.

"Well then, allow me to show you just how 'innocent' this girl is." the woman said as she made her way over to the warehouse before kicking the doors open. "Take a look kid. This is the darkness of the capital."

Tatsumi made his way over to the open doors and what he saw made his stomach turn. Dead and dying people everywhere. Instruments of torture lined the walls and tables covered in dry blood. The scent of death and decay hung heavy in the air. It was enough to make him sick.

"Wha... What is this?!" he shouted in horror.

"They lure unidentified people from the country here with their sweet words and then subject them to their hobby of torture and toy with them until they die." explained the blonde. "That is the true nature of those of this household."

As Tatsumi scanned the bodies that were hanging from the ceiling, his eyes stopped on one in particular. "Sayo... hey... Sayo..." he called out weakly.

"Tat... su... mi..." she responded weakly.

"So there was someone you knew."

"SAYO!" he shouted as he ran over and cut her down before cradling her in his arms.

Meanwhile Aria decided to try and sneak off.

"Nuh uh." The blonde said as she grabbed Aria by the shirt. "You're not getting off the hook by running away, little lady."

"Yeah, this will be your last night." said Qrow as he retrieved his sword and wandered over to Tatsumi and Sayo. "Let me see her." Qrow said as he took a look at the dying girl. "She doesn't have much time left. I'll see what I can do."

"The people of the house did this?" asked Tatsumi.

"That's right." answered the blonde. "The guards were keeping quiet about it so they were similarly guilty."

"It... It's a lie! I didn't know there was a place like this! Are you going to believe me, the one who saved you, or these guys Tatsumi!" Aria pleaded.

"Tatsumi... Tatsumi. That's you right? It's me..." came a voice from one of the cages.

"I... Ieyasu?!" shouted Tatsumi as he recognized his other friend.

"Tatsumi! That girl invited me and Sayo here! And after we ate dinner, we fell unconscious and when we woke up we found ourselves here! Th-that girl... She tortured Sayo! Arghh!" he then shouted as he grasped his chest in pain and fell to his knees.

"What's so wrong?" asked Aria as she struggled free from the blondes grasp. "You're just worthless hicks from the country right?! That's the same as cattle! I should be free to treat them however I want!" Aria said hysterically. "Besides, that girl was so impertinent for having such straight hair despite being a farm animal! Even though I'm troubled with such unruly hair! That's why I agonized her so meticulously! In fact, she should be grateful for-" Aria rant was cut off when she felt a massive surge of killing intent coming from Qrow.

"SHUT. UP." he demanded. "I'm trying to work here. Someone kill her."

"Eliminate." said Akame as she readied her sword.

"Wait." came Tatsumi's voice.

"Don't tell me... are you trying to defend her again?" asked the blonde.

"No." Tatsumi said as he approached Aria. "I'll kill her myself." he said coldly as he drew his sword and slashed across her chest, cutting her in half in the process.

"Good, now maybe I can concentrate." spoke Qrow. He placed his palm on Sayo's head and began reciting something. "For it is in passing that we achieve immortality. Through this, we become a paragon of glory and virtue to rise above all, infinite in distance and unbound by death. I release your soul, and by my shoulder protect thee."

Much to everyones shock, as soon as he finished, Qrow was enveloped in a faint red glow that then began to engulf Sayo as well. A few moments later some of her wounds began to fade and her eyes opened.

"I bought her an hour or two tops. She will still need a blood transfusion as well as other medical care." he explained.

"Ho-how did you do that?" asked Tatsumi.

"Now is not the time for explanations. Your other friend is next." Qrow said as he got up and made his way to Ieyasu. Qrow placed his hand on Ieyasu as well and recited the same thing he did for Sayo and the same thing happened. Some of his wounds disappeared and he began to glow faintly for a moment. "Now you have some extra time as well until we get you some real treatment."

"Hmm... Curious." said the blonde. "Hey Akame, why don't we bring these four with us back to the hideout?"

"Hmm?"

"We're always shorthanded. And they seem like a capable bunch."

"I don't care what you want from us. If you can help me save Sayo and Ieyasu I will do whatever you want!" Tatsumi said as he got on his hand and knees and bowed.

"Alright! It's settled then!" the blonde said as she went over and picked up Sayo. "Akame, you grab the boy."

"On it."

"Hey Qrow-san, Tatsumi, be sure to keep up." said the blonde.

The group then made their way across the estate grounds where they happened upon another three people. One of which Qrow recognized as the owner of the bookstore.

"So, you're finally back." said a walking suit of armor.

"It'd be bad if we didn't retreat soon." said the bookstore owner as he held up a pocket watch.

"You're late! What were you doing?!" shouted a petite pink haired girl. "Wait, how are those four?" she asked, noticing the newcomers.

"New recruits." answered the blonde.

"What?!" shouted Tatsumi.

"Oh, I didn't tell you? Starting right now you guys are the newest members of Night Raid. Congrats on your inauguration!"

"Alright everyone. Mission complete! Let's return!" shouted Akame as the group disappeared into the night.
