Journey of the Last Demon and the Female Lieutenant

Chapter 51

Yoruichi: I don't want anyone, overhearing our conversation. Plus what I'll be telling everyone involves Anna.

General (while Yoruichi sit on her chair): I see. Then I'll leave you to return to your duties.

Yoruichi: See you at the meeting. (in her mind after the screen disappears) I'm still wondering what she meant by "The next time we meet I'll be different." Is something big going to happen to Anna?

(Sunset Town hotel bedroom)

Anna (and Keith taking their hoods off after entering the room): That was close.

Keith (while closing the door): I can't believe the blizzard has gotten worse once we reach this town.

Anna (look at Keith while taking her cloak off): If Yoruichi didn't tell us about this town then we would be in a snow cave.

Keith (look at Anna): And that won't be good for your health.

Anna (sitting on a bed after throwing her cloak on a chair): Today was such a long day.

Sabrina (in their mind while Keith takes his cloak off): Then you should get some sleep. Tomorrow will be a long day.

Keith (after hanging his cloak behind the door): Because we might have to fight?

Sabrina: Yeah.

Anna (standing): I'm going to take the first shower.

Keith: Okay.

Sarbina (while Anna walk to the bathroom door): You sure about that?

Anna (after opening the door): Why are you so surprised? (while entering) Keith isn't one of those boys remember?

Sabrina (after sighing): I know.

Keith: By the way Sabrina has those tower portals reappeared yet?

Sabrina: According to Yurei's report they haven't reappeared.

Anna (in their mind while they hear the shower): Maybe the Shadow King doesn't want anyone to enter and maybe the Shadow King knows we have a way to enter their realm.

Keith: So we're using the symbol?

Sabrina: You are not Anna.

Anna (walking out wearing her pyjamas after the door opens): Don't worry we didn't forget.

Sabrina: I know. (in Anna's mind) By the way, I forgot to mention that you are not allowed to have any blood.

Anna (in her mind): Wouldn't that ruin your plan?

Sabrina: It won't.

Keith (standing in front of Anna): Everything alright?

Anna: Oh yeah. I was just spacing out. Go ahead and take a wash I'm going to head to bed.

Keith: Okay.

Sabrina (spirit form appears once Anna sits on her bed after Keith enters the bathroom): You must be exhausted after today.

Anna (look at Sabrina's spirit while hearing the shower): I am. I was so worried about what would happen at the base once people looked at me.

Sabrina: So what's your plan besides becoming a pure blood?

Anna: I want to see if the other captains accept me before officially joining them.

Sabrina: Because you're afraid of what they may think.

Anna: Exactly but I'm prepared to fight the Shadow King alone with my own team and allies.

Sabrina: That's the spirit.

(midnight)

Sabrina (in her mind while sitting on Anna's bed stroking her head): Don't worry Anna I'll make sure the ritual is successful. However what I'm going to do I know Keith won't be happy.

(next day morning shadow realm)

Keith (and Anna appear from his symbol while wearing their battle outfit): We're here. (look at Anna) Still tired?

Anna (while rubbing her left eye): Yeah but I'll be fully awake soon.

Sabrina (while her physical form appears): Everything ready?

Anna (looks at Sabrina): Where are we going?

Sabrina (smiling): You'll see. (a red portal appears after clicking her fingers) Please come this way. To where your life will change (while entering) once again.

Anna (in her mind): A red portal. Never expected Sabrina to be able to do that.

Keith: Ready?

Anna (after starting walking): I am.

(vampire dimension outside palace stairs)

After coming through the portal Keith and Anna noticed they were standing in front of black stairs before seeing a black castle that has a few designs and red glass.

Keith (and Anna's surprise): Sabrina where are we?

Sabrina: Welcome to the vampire realm dimension.

Anna: Vampire dimension?

Sabrina (smiling while standing in front of Keith and Anna): You see this is my palace. I decided to cut this place from the world during the war.

Keith: Doesn't that mean...

Sabrina (interrupting): That's right. I'm royalty.

Anna (and Keith follow Sabrina once she starts walking): Wait a minute Sabrina. Why didn't you tell us that you were royalty?

Sabrina: Because I wanted to keep that side of me out of this new life. (stop walking) All I want is to be your guardian Anna. So please don't make my royal identity ruin our bond.

Anna (in front of Sabrina): Of course not. Since you just want to be normal we'll treat you as a equal.

Keith (touches one of Sarbina's shoulders): You won't be able to get rid of us.

Yurei (after appearing near Sabrina): See I told you they'll understand.

Anna (look at Yurei): Welcome Yurei.

Keith: A bit late to the party.

Yurei: I am busy.

Anna (look at Sabrina): Can you continue guiding us?

Sabrina: Of course. (at the same time continue walking) We're almost at the top.
