(A/N: I mean, I understand that this isn't a lovey-dovey Valentine's Day special but I had to finish it and post it today. Members of the Forever Alone Club unite!! Anyway, it's time for some more murder for Akame ga Kill!)

(Note: I do not own Akame ga Kill or its characters. This is just a fan fiction for fun. Enjoy.)


Akame ga Kill: The True Heir - The Executioner

(Y/N) P.O.V.:
It's been a couple days since I fought and lost against Esdeath and Budo. I'm feeling a lot better now. My wounds have healed and it doesn't hurt to move around anymore. Right now, I am walking down a path towards the Revolutionary Army's main base. Like I promised, I was taking Shoi and his wife to the main base. They were on a horse and I was walking next to it. Sure it was about a one day walk to get to the base but as long as they get there safe and sound, I'll be fine.

Shoi: How much longer until we get there?

(Y/N): I'd say... one, two more hours.

Shoi: Alright. Thanks again for saving us, (Y/N).

I nodded to them and we continued walking. Soon, we finally came to the big base. I'm still surprised that we were able to build this. With everyone's blood, sweat, and tears. Mainly blood and sweat. The guards at the door looked over and saw us coming. They looked up at the guards on top of the wall.

Guard: Open the gate!

The guard up top nodded, pulled a lever, and the gate started to open. We walked inside and everyone cleared us a path. I continued to walk until I made it to the chief's house. I stopped the horse and Shoi and his wife got off the horse, grabbed their stuff, and we all walked inside. I opened the door and I saw the chief reading a book. He looked up at me, put his book down, walked up to me, and shook my hand.

Chief: Emperor. It's nice to see you again.

(Y/N): (Same here. I have brought you the former Domestic Affairs Official Shoi and his wife.)

Chief: Yes. I've heard of them. Let me guess: You spoke against the Emperor and Honest and you were going to get executed.

Shoi: How'd you know?

Chief: Been there, done that. Anyway, looks like you're one of us now. We'll set everything up for you in a couple minutes. Thanks for the new edition, Emperor.

I nodded to the chief and walked out of the building. I got on the horse and was about to walk away until I heard an eagle's cry. I looked up and saw an eagle circling above me and it was carrying a letter. I put my arm out and the eagle swooped down and landed on my arm. I untied the letter from its claw, opened it, and read it.

"(Y/N), we need you back here as soon as possible. We have a new mission for a high class murderer, prowling the Capital and killing innocent civilians. We believe said murderer is Zanku the Executioner. Like I said, please return as soon as possible.

-Najenda"

I pocketed the letter and the eagle flew off of my arm. I turned the horse around and kicked its side, making it run. I went through the base and when I left the home base, I made the horse run even faster. After a couple of hours of running, I finally made it back to the Night Raid base. I stopped the horse and pulled it into the hidden homemade stable. I got off of it and filled up the food and water. I pet the horse one more time and walked out of the stable. I walked around the base and through the door still seeing everyone there.

Najenda: You're back. Did everything go smoothly during your trip? *(Y/N) nods* Good. Now, as I said in the letter we believe that Zanku has made himself known again and started killing people.

Tatsumi: Wait, you said that you don't know what Zanku's Teigu is, right?

Najenda: Yes. That's correct.

Tatsumi: Wouldn't (Y/N) know? Since he's, like you guys said, connected to every Imperial Arm.

Najenda: While he may possess the power to wield any and every Imperial Arms and he's connected to them, he cannot tell who has what. For instance, if he wasn't a part of Night Raid he would never know that Akame has Murasame or about Bulat having Incursio. That's one of the downsides of his ability.

Tatsumi: But-

Mine: No more questions, new guy! Let's get into our groups already!

Tatsumi: Fine.

Najenda: First group, Akame and Tatsumi. Second group, Leone and Bulat. Third group, Mine and Sheele. Final group, Lubbock and (Y/N). Talk about who gets which area and check every single alley. All of you are to head out at dusk and apprehend him and, if needed, kill him.

*Time Skip*

I was walking along the streets of the Capital with Lubbock at my side. So far, we haven't seen anyone around the streets. I mean, sure, we had the occasional guards patrolling by but that's it. I'm feeling a sense of... nostalgia, walking through the streets. I smiled under my mask at the good memories that I'm reminiscing on. I remember one time I-

Lubbock: Ugh!! There's nothing to do! This is so boring!

I gave Lubbock a side-glance to see him looking off to the side with his hands behind his head. I tapped on his shoulder to get his attention and he turned to me.

(Y/N): (Remember not all of us are going to be having fun. This is just a normal group mission. We must stay in our groups no matter how much we hear the others scream. All one of us has to do is capture or kill Zanku and it'll be mission over.)

Lubbock: I guess you're right. Let's check over there. *points to right*

I nodded and we start heading down an alley. We continued heading that way but then I felt something. Something... huge. Almost as if... killing intent.

Lubbock: (Y/N)? What's wrong?

I didn't answer and continued looking at where the killing intent is coming from. It felt strong almost like...

(Y/N): Akame...

Lubbock: (Y/N), what's wrong?!

(Y/N): Akame and Tatsumi are fighting Zanku! I need to get over there now! *(Y/N) starts running away*

Lubbock: *grabs (Y/N)'s wrist* If you go over there, you'll die! And you'll be breaking what you said about sticking together!

(Y/N): I'm going over there to help her! I'm not going to let her die before she knows how I feel! What would you do if that was Najenda?!

Lubbock: ...Fine. *lets go of (Y/N)'s wrist* Go. But if you get a scolding from Najenda, you're on your own.

I nodded to Lubbock and ran towards Akame. When I got there, I saw Tatsumi, lying on the ground, and Zanku, running towards a mesmerized Akame. I quickly ran towards the two and I saw Akame drop her sword. I made (F/C) smoke come out of my hands and I made Lionelle and transformed. Once I got close enough, I slid and delivered an uppercut to Zanku. He flew back a bit but landed on his feet.

Zanku: Who dares to-?! Ah, the legendary King. Are you here to kill Akame, too?

I scowled under my mask and turned towards Akame. I grabbed her by her shoulders and shook her lightly. She shook her head and looked at me.

Akame: (Y/N)?

I smiled and pushed Akame back a bit. I turned around and stared Zanku in the eyes.

Zanku: So, you work with Night Raid? It'll be fun to kill three members of Night Raid and get away with-

CLASH

3rd Person P.O.V.:
Before anyone could see, (Y/N) was in front of Zanku. While Zanku was ranting, (Y/N) switched out Lionelle for March of the Dead: Yatsufusa. Zanku looked at (Y/N) with wide eyes while he glared at him. (Y/N) pushed himself off of Zanku and jumped back.

(Y/N): *raises Yatsufusa* All Rise!!!

The ground around them started to shake and Yatsufusa started to make purple lightning. Then, two Jackaleos suddenly broke through the ground. They circled around (Y/N) for a second then ran towards Zanku. Zanku quickly used Spectator's precognition ability and saw the Jackaleo's next move. They both jumped at him and Zanku moved out of the way, dodging both Jackaleos.

Zanku: Did you really think little pets like these can stop me?

Zanku continued to dodge the Jackaleos until one was able to slash his back. Zanku turned around and looked at the Jackaleo, furious.

Zanku: Play time is over, kitten!!

Zanku dodged another slash by the Jackaleo and cut off its paw. It roared in pain and Zanku cut off its head, killing it. The second Jackaleo jumped at Zanku but he dodged it and slash at its stomach, cutting a hole in it and effectively killing it.

Zanku: Now that your little pets are dealt with, where are you, King?

Zanku looked around and saw (Y/N) in the shadows, on his knees, with his hands behind his back. Zanku smiled wickedly and turned towards (Y/N).

Zanku: So, you give up? *silence* Hmm... Silence is not the right answer!! *runs towards (Y/N)*

Once Zanku got close enough to (Y/N), he jumped up in the air and slashed at (Y/N)'s neck, beheading him.

Akame/Tatsumi: (Y/N)!!!

Akame and Tatsumi looked at Zanku with shock written all over their faces. Zanku walked towards (Y/N)'s head and picked it up. Only to gasp in shock when he sees that it was a dummy made from ice. He dropped the dummy's head and it broke into a million pieces, along with the body.

Zanku: *looks around* Where are you?!

Zanku looked around wildly trying to find the assassin. He heard the click of a gun and turned around seeing (Y/N), leaning on a pillar while aiming down the sights of Pumpkin. (Y/N) fired a shot and Zanku dodged it. (Y/N) grew tired of the constant dodging and swapped out Pumpkin for Extase. (Y/N) ran towards Zanku as fast as he could.

(Y/N) P.O.V.:
This is my last chance to kill Zanku! All I need to do I get rid of both of his knives and kill him! Simple! I ran towards Zanku and slashed at him with Extase but he dodged it. This kept going until I was able to cut his cheek. He grew surprised at this and faltered. I took the opportunity to aim for his neck. I slashed but Zanku brought both of his knives up and sacrificed them so he could kept his head. Zanku then kicked me with all of his might away from him. I looked up only to see my little brother standing where Zanku was.

Makoto: Big brother?

(Y/N): M-Makoto?

My little brother grew some tears and ran towards me. Extase turned into (F/C) smoke and I just stood there. Once my little brother got close enough, he jumped and I saw him pull out a knife. I quickly raised my hands in order to defend myself but I didn't feel any pain and instead heard gurgling. I slowly put my arms down and saw Akame, standing in front of me with her Murasame in hand, and Zanku, with his neck slashed and lying on the ground, nearly dead. Akame turned to me and gave me a slight smile. I smiled back and looked at the dying Zanku.

Zanku: Before I die, I need to know. Who are you?

I took off my mask and hood and showed Zanku my face. He gasped in shock when he saw me.

Zanku: E-Emperor (Y/N)? *(Y/N) nods* I... I'm sorry, Emperor. I'm sorry you had to see me like this. In this state of... madness. It was all his fault. Prime Minister Honest. Always sending people who pleaded innocent to death. Tell me, Emperor, all of those people Honest sent to prison, were they innocent?

(Y/N): Most of them, Zanku. Most of them.

Zanku: Damn. I can't believe it. At least the voices are finally gone. Please Emperor, do me a favor and kill that prick that everyone calls a prime minister. *(Y/N) nods* Thank you.

After that Zanku took one final breath and died a peaceful death. Even though he was a murderer, he was wronged. Honest turned him into that... thing. That freak. That monster. Don't worry Zanku, I'll make sure that we win and kill the minister. I kneeled down to Zanku, signed a prayer, and closed his eyes. I looked at Spectator and carefully took it off Zanku's forehead. I looked at it and it slowly closed. I pocketed it, stood back up, and turned to Akame.

(Y/N): (Let's go.)

Akame: What about Tatsumi?

(Y/N): (I can carry him. But first...)

I made (F/C) smoke out of my hands and made Adramelech. I charged up a ball of electricity and launched it in the air. It then blew up but instead of being yellow, it was green, signifying mission complete. I turned Adramelech into (F/C) smoke and it entered my body again. I turned around and was about to walk towards Tatsumi but fell down to my knees, feeling a painful headache coming on. I gripped my head tightly and Akame crouched down to my level and I heard Tatsumi run up to us.

Tatsumi: What's going on?!

Akame: It's his ability. One of its disadvantages. If he uses too many Imperial Arms in rapid succession, he puts too much strain on his body. And when he puts too much strain on his body, he feels massive amounts of pain.

(Y/N): I'm fine. I'm fine. *stands up* (Come on, let's get back to base.)

Akame and Tatsumi nodded and we started heading back to base. Once we got to base, I opened the door and saw that everyone made it back before us. Najenda looked at us and I pulled out Spectator and tossed it to her, which she caught. Najenda looked Spectator over and nodded.

Najenda: Good. At least it's here in one piece. Now, about what you did back there...

(Y/N): (You and basically everyone else here knows why I did it.)

Najenda: I guess so. But that still doesn't mean you can leave your post and partner for something like that.

(Y/N): (...Alright. Next time, I'll stay at my post and with my partner.)

Najenda: Good. Now that we have this we can call it a success. You can all head off to bed.

Everyone nodded and left. Before I walked into my room I headed to the bathroom. I closed and locked the door and walked up to the mirror. I took my mask off and I saw I had a tiny bit of blood running down my head. I quickly grabbed a towel from the closet and wiped off my head. I then spit into the sink and I saw that I had a tiny bit of blood in it. I quickly washed it out of the sink and walked out of the bathroom. I walked towards my room and was about to open it but I looked at the room beside mine. Akame's room.

(Y/N): "I hope I can tell her before I die."

I then opened my door, walked in, and closed the door behind me. I changed into my sleep clothes and lied down in my bed. I looked out the window and at the moon. I then turned towards the wall and closed my eyes, letting sleep take over.

*Small Time Skip*

Akame P.O.V.:
I woke up in the middle of the night and had the urge to go to the bathroom. I walked in and closed and locked the door. I did my business and was about to leave until I saw a towel lying on the ground. We normally leave them in the closet. I picked up the towel and looked it over

Akame: I bet Lubbock left this.

I inspected the towel a little more and I saw something new on it. Is this... blood? But who's? (Y/N) barely got a scratch with his fight against Zanku and Tatsumi just patched up his wounds with bandages. I decided it would be best to leave this be for now and get back to it later. I put the towel in the laundry bin and walked back to my room. I closed the door, lied on my bed, and slowly let sleep take over.

(A/N: That was a fun little battle. Looks like something is happening to (Y/N), as well. I wonder what it could be. Looks like you'll have to wait and find out. Anyway, if you have any requests go to this link and follow the instructions: giantm137.deviantart.com/journ… Until next time, take care.)
