Along with Rose, Akame transformed as well and moved out to intercept this new Magical Girl. Regardless of whether it was the killer or not, she [i]would[/i] make the other girl talk. There had to be a reason they were here after all. Before they exited the apartment complex however, Akame took pause in her step, whirling back in the direction of Emiri’s front door.

[color=f26522]“Two,”[/color] she told Rose with a steely voice. [color=f26522]“There’s two. One’s still lingering behind while the other is getting away. They might be trying to lure us away while they’re alone with the body. For what reason, only god knows…we can’t let them tamper with Emiri’s corpse. Rea, you pursue the one ahead. I’ll deal with this one.”[/color]

Akame’s voice indicated that she was not to be questioned and she was already walking calmly back towards the seemingly abandoned apartment. While Rose would unknowingly be in pursuit of the fleeing Kasumii, it seemed that fate would create a chance encounter between the living and the dead.

The flaming Magical Girl wasn’t worried; unless they were as experienced as her, this would be an easy battle. Of course, she’d try to resolve this without violence first and foremost if possible. That in mind, Akame’s senses brought her to the bathroom where she frowned in confusion. Well, that was an odd hiding spot indeed.

[color=f26522]“Come out and reveal yourself,”[/color] she called out to Amara. [color=f26522]“If you strike, that will confirm that you are an enemy. And I [i]will[/i] incapacitate you. However if you bear no ill will you will come out and face me right now. I have a few questions to ask you.”[/color]

Akame crossed her arms and waited, cloaked in her dark longcoat. While that chance meeting was taking place, another one was unfolding farther away into Miso City. Chiyo smiled down upon Nanako as she practically glomped her, reaching out to pet the younger girl on the head gently.

[color=bc8dbf]“Yes, I saw lots of cool things Nanako-chan. All sorts of sights too. Maybe I should take you to visit with me some day. I hear they have a great musician over there. Ahead of his time really, but beautiful for the ear. A natural prodigy…or so I’m told.”[/color]

Hearing Izumi’s lack of enthusiasm for their trip, Chiyo flashed a warm look of sympathy at the shorter girl. She knew that she only appeared young much like Rea and it was confirmed that this was the result of her wish.

[color=bc8dbf]“Not to worry Izumi-chan. Maybe we can stop by and get some ice cream for all of us. Does that sound good to you?”[/color]
