Chapter 132 - #131 Sisters Drama (2/2)

”But...y-yes” The guards wanted to say more but when they noticed how Kurome was glaring at them, they just put their weapons down and dispersed, leaving surprised Akame standing in the garden alone.

”What the hell are you doing, big sis?!” Kurome immediately ran up to her sister and asked her while shaking her shoulders. She also noticed her hastened breathing and her disheveled and torn clothes.

”Kurome, what is Akashi doing right now?” Akame hurriedly asked.

”What? Why? If you want to talk to him then you should wait until tomorrow, he is sleeping since he hasn't slept for a few days already due to his work.” Kurome asked with a confused expression before replying with a slightly apologetic tone. She didn't want to say that he is tired from the journey so she simply changed the reason.

”I see...I need you to go somewhere with me! Quickly, please!” Akame said and before Kurome could say anything she already started running towards the streets of the Capital.

”Wait!” Kurome had no idea what is happening and why is her sister in such a hurry so she decided to follow her for now.

'What the hell is going on? Did anyone find out about her connection with rebels?' Kurome was thinking about all possibilities while catching up to her sister.

”Akame STOP!” Kurome shouted and stopped running altogether when they already run through more than half of the Capital.

”Kurome...” Akame also stopped and looked at her with a complicated and sad expression.

”Big sis, unless you tell me what's going on, I won't follow you anymore. I have a right to know what is going on!” Kurome demanded with furrowed brows.

”I- They found out about me and I need to run away from the Capital...I want you to go with me, please Kurome!” Akame admitted while looking down before she raised her head saying her sister how much she needs her.

”...Big sis, I think that we already talked about this matter...I won't just leave Akashi Nii-sama because if I was to leave, I would be named as a traitor and no longer be able to spend time with him. Not to mention that my desertion might also cause him and his family problems! I can't go with you big sis, I am sorry...” Kurome replied while shaking her head with a sad expression while holding back her tears. She was aware that this time would one day come but she still wasn't as prepared as she thought.

”Kurome...please! He is strong, he will deal with any situation somehow.” Akame still tried to convince her sister but tears already formed in her eyes.

”Then why don't you join him?” Kurome asked while avoiding eye contact.

”...If I were to join him right now, it would only cause him more trouble, do you want that?” Akame said with a sad smile and Kurome slowly shook her head in response.

”...You should just go, big sis. Unless you want them to find you...” Kurome bit her lower lip and said with a depressed tone while looking to the side, avoiding eye contact with her sister.

”Kurome...” Akame upon hearing her answer finally let those tears out and all she could do was to spread her arms, expecting goodbye hug from her sister.

”...” Kurome looked at her and at first, she thought that Akame was planning something but when she saw her tears pouring down her cheeks, she ran up to her and tightly hugged her.

”You know, you will always be my big sis, no matter what you choose to do!” Kurome said with closed eyes while forcing out a smile.

Kurome's words took Akame by surprise as her crying only intensified.

”I-I am sorry, I truly am sorry, Kurome!” Akame said while Kurome frowned down and found her words weird so she tried to break off from the hug but before she could, she felt something hit back of her neck.

”Big sis, you-!!!” Kurome's vision blackened but before she lost her consciousness, she managed to shout in disbelief. Akame quickly caught her from falling down.

”I really am sorry! I didn't want to do this!” Akame said while tears were pouring down her cheeks despite knowing that Kurome no longer could hear her. The guilt she felt for doing this was on the extreme level, not to mention how Kurome shouted at her in such disbelief and anger. Akame was aware that what she has done was bad, taking advantage of Kurome's guard being down.

She was even having second thoughts about all of this but since she has already done it, there was no room for regret anymore. She put Kurome over her shoulder and started running towards her escape route while wiping her tears away.
