Journey of the Last Demon and the Female Lieutenant

Chapter 59

Sabrina (in Keith's mind): First she was doing it for herself to get revenge on the true mastermind but when Sosuke died her goal changed and wanted to get revenge for both of you.

David: So why did you change from being a half-breed?

Anna: Because what I had wasn't enough. I was still weak being unable to stop myself from being under control by someone else almost making me kill a friend.

David: You're saying you'll throw your life to give other people a chance to live?

Keith: How dare you ask that.

Anna: I would.

David (while letting Anna go): Yoruichi was right about the fire in your eyes.

Anna (standing after David steps away): What fire?

David: When I last saw Yoruichi she told everyone in the meeting something. After mentioning that Anna would be returning with a different form Yoruichi said she would never change keeping the fire in her eyes and sharing the same goal as us.

Anna (surprise): Yoruichi said that?

David (looking at Keith): You saw that fire as well.

Keith (while his katana disappears): Of course. That's why I serve Anna as her knight.

David: I have no clue what you mean but you two must have a different bond since you're both demons. However, I want to apologise for what I said.

Keith: Then why do I only see men here at this base?

David: Because I don't want females to join so they can get revenge for people who were lost in the war. (look at Anna) That's why I was worried when you said you were going to get revenge.

Anna: I know revenge can blind people.

David: Then I won't say more. (after hearing a knock) Perfect timing the rooms we prepare for you are ready.

Anna (puts David's desk and chair back to normal by using her psychic): Sorry for messing up your office.

David: It's alright. For what I did I deserve to have my office damaged. (touch Anna's shoulder) Now you two should turn in for the night.

Anna: Alright.

(night building roof)

Anna (sitting on the floor wearing her pyjamas): I know David was testing me but why does it feel like he was right?

Keith (walking toward Anna from behind wearing his pyjamas): He's not. Remember you became a pure blood to help people. Not to kill them.

Anna (looks at Keith after turning her head): Thanks for reminding me.

Keith (sitting next to Anna): You've done quite well today.

Anna: You think?

Keith: Yes. You remind me of someone who always had a strong spirit but because of her condition, she was stuck in bed.

Anna: Were you and Sosuke close to this person?

Keith: Yeah. She was our friend but we had to leave her during the war. However, because of the shadow creatures I don't think she's alive.

Anna: Sorry to hear that.

Keith: After meeting you I could see that you had a few of my friend's personalities.

Anna: So you think I'm her reincarnation?

Keith: Maybe but I'm not sure.

Anna: What's her name?

Keith: Her name was Shizuka.

Shizuka (from Anna's voice): Don't worry Keith I went down fighting. You better take care of Anna. (looking at Keith with baby blue eyes) Me and Sosuke will be watching.

Keith (shocked while looking at Anna seeing Shizuka's spirit after turning his head once he notices silver-white hair at the corner of his eyes): Shizuka.

Anna (after her eyes went back to normal): Everything alright Keith?

Keith (while getting up): Everything is fine. (standing) Let's head to bed. (holding his hand out) I'll escort you to your room.

Anna (while taking Keith's hand): Alright.

(Keith room)

Keith (lying on his bed): Sabrina you there?

Sabrina (leaning on the wall at the end of Keith's bed being in spirit form): Need something?

Keith (after sitting up): So can see you now.

Sabrina (look at Keith after leaning away from the wall): Because of the contract. However, were you going to ask about what just happened?

Keith: Yes. Was that an illusion?

Sabrina: What you saw was real. What Anna said was true. She's the reincarnation of your friend Shizuka. Even though their completely different Anna was bedridden for a long time before having my eyes.

Keith: That's crazy. Do you think it's fate?

Sabrina: It's hard to say but it could be.

Keith: I hope that doesn't happen again.

Sabrina: You mean having Shizuka's spirit take over Anna's body?

Keith: Yeah.

Sabrina (while slowly disappearing): Well for now I don't sense your friend spirit so I think what happened was a message.
