Akame ga Kill: A New Dawn [Always Open]

YESSS. Time to write, bois.

Akame ga Kill: A New Dawn [Always Open]

@Agent 47 Just to be sure, we can create characters of the Empire for later, now that there are more members of Night Raid?

*Formally extends hand* Sup?

Good day to you too sir. Welcome to the guild. Don't mind the bodies laying down in the place. Not all of them are dead ;) . Enjoy your stay here, and above anything, have fun.

Akame ga Kill: A New Dawn [Always Open]

Gwyneth perked up, and her eyes lighted up a little at the appearance of Kylie, before returning to normal. "Good morning, Kylie. I was going to search for you, but it seems that it wasn't necessary" She informed the pink haired assassin. The blonde felt some sort of kinship with the mariner, as they both lost at least one of their parents to the Empire. As she was a little older and more sociable, Kylie was like a big sister for her. "Then...The only one who isn't here is Icarus. I hope he shows up soon. An empty stomach is an assassin's worst enemy" Gwyneth stated with a serious face while grabbing a plate, her stomach growling a little.

"Thanks for the food, Cochise" She tanked the Easterner's kindness, before eating in a very not-graceful way her food. Manners be damned, her life was at stake here. Literally. "So, do you know what's our mission now, Kylie?" The blonde asked curiously the woman. Seeing as she woke up first, it was probable the possibility of her knowing what they were going to later.

Ikari cackled in laughter as he and Misaki left the school. He had never seen the math teacher so damn angry, and the super lame joke from Misaki was pure gold. They fortunately made it out of there, and moved to the center of their town, looking for that new cafe that the girl wouldn't stop talking about. She looked like a kid going to the toy's store, but he was equally excited about it. An empty stomach and sweets was a good combo if you asked him. They rapidly reached the place. It was a bit fancy, but still held that simple touch on it. He liked it.

Misaki looked at this and that, saying something about reclaiming all the flavours. Some of the staff and people glanced at him a bit. It was expected, given his not very good reputation. They sat down opposite of each other, and menus for the 2 of them were handed. There was a lot of things he wanted to devour, so many things he wanted to taste. Just as he was about to talk first, Misaki had beaten him to it. "Er-erm... What are you going to get, Ikari?" She said behind her menu. Now they were with the first name thing instead of 'neighbor'? He didn't certainly mind, as long as she didn't call him Ri-chan. "Hmmm, there's a chocolate cake with strawberries that I like, but it won't be enough for me. Wanna choose another thing for me? Don't worry, I have the money. Ikari asked a little uncertainly.

As he waited for her answer, he pondered around a little. This was just like them when they were children. Together they would do a lot of stupid things that they would laugh off the next day. After she left, he didn't expect those days to return out of the blue. But it was ok to a certain extent. He wasn't the weak, clingy Ikari. He was the strong one, who could face head on any challenge without the help of anyone. She still didn't know about it, and it was better like that. If she wanted to have fun, then ok, but she would have fun with the Ikari of today, not yesterday.

The voice of the one known as the Gale Knight snapped Gwyneth out of her thoughts. Ignoring the not very subtle flirt of Kyy, and his lack of shirt, she retorted. "I think Kylie is up, too, but I didn't look up for her yet" She said simply, before taking another sip of her coffee. "... She's probably the most excited about a new mission, so maybe she's already in the meeting room. Honestly, I don't know" Gwyneth deduced.

She left the already empty cup, and proceeded to exit the room to go and find Kylie. Before opening the door, her red eyes rested on the almost-nude form of her comrade. "And put on some clothes, heart-breaker. Not every woman will find attractive you running half-naked" She teased with a small grin, finally turning around and walking forward with the intention of finding her pink-haired friend.

At the mention of sweets, Ikari's characteristic creepy smile of being angry and happy returned to his face. The puppy eyes weren't helping, making him blush a little. "W-Well, just a few sweets can't be that bad..." As he finished that line, his stomach made a loud growl, the red on his face suddenly being more brilliant. Damn his body for being so weak to food. "Ugh...okay, fine! Let's go to that new cafe you're so happy about." He was still pissed about the idea of going to any place that it wasn't his home, but sweets makes things better. Sweets always makes things better.

"But first we have to grab our things. I won't go anywhere empty-handed" Suddenly, Ikari grabbed Misaki's hand without thinking, and started walking outside the nurse's office and towards their classroom. He tried to act as calm as possible, but his face was as red as a tomato. Misaki would tease him forever if he spun around while looking like that. And why the hell was he getting embarrassed in the first place?! Hand holding isn't that meaningful, is it? 'How is it that I can fight thugs almost every day, but I'm still nervous around a girl?! Damn her for this...' He thought while trying to act as cool as possible.

IKARI

Ikari looked at her with an amused expression, before letting out a small laugh of his own. "Pff, ya still with neighbor thing? Just who the hell do you think I am? He said while standing up, still facing her. "Well, suit yourself princess. But try to not get yourself killed too often, I like my hand unharmed" He teased her with a grin that screamed "punch me right now" while massaging his injured hand. He was sure that the bandages were a little too tight.

If she wanted to protect him, then so be it. Arguing with her about what to do and what not is like trying to stop a meteor barehanded. Better leave her do what she wanted. Or make her think that she was doing it in the first place. The way she said that she was going to protect him certainly struck a nerve, and bad memories were resurfacing, so the sooner he left that place the better. "If you want to protect me so much, then I won't stop you, 'sis'. But just so you know, getting involved with me is bad business, and there are things worse than what was going to happen today" He said with a serious face. He could still remember how they were talking about her. What could've happened if he didn't stop them? Ikari certainly didn't want to know.

He started walking towards the door, before a even more annoying thought struck him down. "Aaah, fuck the principal. Now I'll have to catch up 3 days of school!" The blond yelled to no one, scratching his head in anger. Problems seem to love him a little too much. First it was an asshole with a knife, and now it was suspension. A normal day on good ol' Ikari's life.

IKARI

After barely managing to not get expelled from school, Ikari was being led by Misaki to the nurse's office, her smooth and smaller hand tightly holding his own, like making sure that he didn't escape from her this time. He could only sigh, as her persistence was bigger than his own annoyance, so going to house directly was a no-no for him right now. The duo entered without uttering a single word into the infirmary, Ikari sitting on a free bed while Misaki grabbed some bandages to patch his hand. There was no nurse or teacher in the room, so they had to heal their own injuries.

Ikari avoided to look at her directly, while she patched his hand with a pout. She looked almost cute like that. Almost. The blond was still pissed by the events that had transpired just some time ago, and he wasn't in the whole hormonal teenager mood. He glanced a little at her. She looked concentrated. Or angry. It didn't really matter.

"You're an idiot, you know that?" He stated like a matter of fact, not caring that it could offend her. "If you just acted like the perfect student you're supposed to be, I would be the only one that got punished. Yer too much of a goody-two-shoes for your own good" Ikari kept expressing his thoughts, not missing a beat as words instantly slipped off of his mouth. They weren't little kids anymore. Consequences could be even harsher than just a little scolding, and the blond couldn't even begin to comprehend what was pushing this girl to stand up for him. Hell, he was sure she didn't really knew if he was the real Ikari or not...so why? He wanted to be enlightened in the why of such behavior, to know why she would help some stranger she just met a few hours ago.

That was Misaki for ya. Not your everyday hero, but a hero of her own choosing nonetheless.
