Madness: TENSION

AUTHOR NOTE

SORRY GUYS, I POSTED WRONG CHAPTER, AS AN APOLOGY, I POSTED THIS ONE.

READ CHAPTER 11 FIRST, THEN 12 AND THIS ONE

After everything calmed down, the Night Raid freed Billy, who, even if he still had grudges against Akame, at least he didn't rampaged around.

However, he was taken for a certain question.

Najenda: So… How did you create another Murasame?

Billy: Like I can create puppets, I can give them or myself weapons from any type, like the Sonic Umbrella X768 or a Teigu, the only condition is that it shouldn't have any organic part like flesh.

Najenda: And why did you keep quiet about it?

Billy: I can't reveal all of my abilities just like that, I have a few more, but for those I can't risk to reveal them that easily, you can say that they are my "Trump Card".

Najenda: ...Hmm, I understand. Summoning Teigus is a powerful ability, so for now I will forgive you. However, you need to be careful about what you summon, because a Teigu is still a Teigu, so if you aren't compatible with it, then you will receive a backlash.

If you had continued to use Murasame, I don't know what would happen to you.

Billy: ...Yes.

Najenda: Alright, now call the others, we have a new mission.

Billy: Yes, Snake.

Then Billy left to call the others, meanwhile Najenda walked to the meeting room to wait for them.

Some time later, everyone was in the meeting room.

Najenda: You guys, there's a new request. The target this time is a blood relative of the Prime Minister. A man named Iwokaru. Using the minister's name, he abducted girls from the capital and beat them to death. His five bodyguards also share his guilt in this.

This is an important mission, everybody will attack!!

Everyone: Yes!

Najenda: Billy, this is an important thing for you too. Everyday, unless there is a good reason, you will stay with Akame until I give you the permission to be free.

Billy: Wait what!?

Everyone was surprised from that order, especially the two people in question.

Najenda: In my group, I want everyone to cooperate, I don't want discord between us.

Billy: Ok, that is just testing my limit, you are doing that on purpose, aren't you?

Najenda: Shut up and listen to me, like I said, I don't want discord in our group, you are still in the Night Raid because your powers are useful and for Akame's request.

Billy: Huh?

He turned around and saw Akame glancing at somewhere else, it seems that she was still nervous about the fact that she was the "Culprit".

Billy: ...Tch, whatever.

Najenda: Now go!

Everyone: Yes.

The Night Raid then left the hideout and traveled to the mansion where their current target lives in. Mine and Tatsumi were going to snipe the target while Billy and the rest would kill the bodyguards.

Billy took out a binoculars from another fissure and used it to spy on what is happening to the mansion.

Bulat: What is happening now?

Billy: The target just came out from the mansion, followed from women…. Ok, Mine shot him right in the head, no innocent is killed.

Lubbock: Great! Now the bodyguards will come.

Bulat transformed with his Teigu, same for Leone, while the rest prepared themselves. This moment's Billy's weapon of choice is a dual M-11 with silencer, they were an American .380 caliber automatic machine pistol.

Soon, 4 masked bodyguards reached their place, and Leone spoke for everyone.

Leone: Well, well. Now then, let's go wild!

Everyone except Billy and Lubbock kicked the ground and reached the bodyguards, each one took one of them while Billy and Lubbock provided support by either blocking their attacks with wires, or shooting holes to their bodies.

In less than 3 minutes, they made a clean job of them, with Leone landing the last punch.

Leone: Ahah! I feel so refreshed.

Sheele: They were quite strong, weren't they?

Akame: ...Strange, there should have been five bodyguards…

Lubbock: I didn't even get to kill one of them, too.

Billy: You are the one to talk, I still have to discharge my stress since yesterday night… Meh, the last one must be to Pinkie and Retard. Let's go to the meeting place, I doubt they will die just like that.

Leone: Alright then.

Then they walked towards the rendezvous point, and found Tatsumi with a smoking head quarreling with Mine.

Mine: What's up with you!? I was finally willing to accept you!

Tatsumi: Shut up! You're not a genius sniper! You're stuck somewhere on the student level!

Mine: What!? Of course I'm a genius!

Tatsumi: And by the way, geniuses wouldn't call themselves a genius!

Leone: Seems like Billy was right.

Billy: Told you, now let's go, I want to sleep. 'Tomorrow I will go to check the casino, but Akame… Hopefully I can go without her.'

They walked back to the hideout and each one reached their bedroom… But something unexpected happened…

Billy: What the fuck do you mean that I need to sleep on the same room with Black!?

Najenda: The more you two are ok with each other's presence, the better it is, besides, what are you going to do? Molest her?

Billy: Oh fuck off… Whatever, can I go to check my casino?

Najenda: Take Akame with you, I know you can take her with your portals are you ok with that?

Akame: Nn…

Billy: *Deeply inhaling* ...Fuck…

A black big fissure appeared in a nearby wall and he put his sunglasses before  entering that fissure with Akame.

They reappeared in Billy's room where he used to spectate his casino, Billy looked around and saw that there are really little people in the casino, this made him raise an eyebrow.

In that moment, someone opened the door of the room, Akame put an hand on her sword, but she let it go when she saw that it was one of Billy's minions.

Billy: Report.

The minion came to Billy and whispered some things to his ear.

Billy: Hm… yes… ok… continue… Got it. You can go now.

The minion nodded and left, leaving Billy and Akame alone.

Akame: ...What happened?

Billy: Some piece of shit is out there killing people at night. Let's go back... 'Tch, it must be Akame giving me bad luck...'

Another fissure appeared on a nearby wall and the two entered in. When they reached the hideout, Billy and Akame reached Najenda to report about the "Piece of shit", who was supposedly a killer in the capital that is chopping off the people's heads at night.

Then, they got to Akame's bedroom since the order was for Billy to be with Akame, not the opposite.

The first thing that Billy did was going in a corner and sleep there, the tiredness hit him all at once and fell immediately asleep like a rock. Akame saw it and silently covered him with a spare blanket, before undressing herself and sleep on her bed.

Morning came really fast, Billy yawned as he woke up, he was adapted in sleeping in strange places, a corner of a room isn't that bad compared to a tree's branch or a rock.

He felt something strange and looked on him, seeing a blanket, when he realized whose blanket it was, he clicked his tongue and threw it away from him before leaving from the room.

Soon, Akame woke up, after stretching her body, she looked at the corner where Billy should have been, but she found only a blanket that was obviously thrown away, Billy wasn't anywhere in the room.

She slightly panicked due to remembering Najenda's order of keeping him near her and dressed up, she put her sword on her hip and stepped out from the room, finding Billy at the other side of the room, doing magic tricks with a deck of cards. He looked at her with an annoyed look and said.

Billy: Finally you're awake… I was tired from waiting for your lazy ass.

Akame sighed in relief and said.

Akame: Let's go to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Billy: Whatever…

Billy followed Akame in the kitchen without even glancing at her.

Akame: Can you summon some help?

Billy: Don't push your luck, it is already enough I am not harming you in any way.

Akame nodded and turned back to cook alone, at least she could "Sample" the ingredients.

After she finished, everyone came in and eaten breakfast, they chatted to each other, talked about the mission of yesterday, yet, Billy just looked at the food in front of him, eating it slowly while not saying anything.

And so, another day without anything interesting passed, and night came, everyone were reunited in the meeting room.

Najenda: The target this time… Is the serial killer that is plaguing the capital. From the informations gained from Billy, he appears every night and chop off the victim's head. It is unknown how many people died, but it is enough to make anyone avoid to walk out at the night.

Tatsumi: Huh? That happened?

Lubbock: There's no mistake, it has to be Zank the Beheader.
