Journey of the Last Demon and the Female Lieutenant

Chapter 65

Makoto (while putting his gun away): What me and Renji vs you and that other demon?

Anna (standing): No. You two vs me.

Yoruichi (look at Anna): Are you crazy? Keith, why not stop her?

Keith (while his katana disappears): Sorry but this is out of my hands.

Renji: Then we accept your challenge Vampire Queen.

Makoto (before walking away with Renji): We'll meet you in the battle arena.

David (while walking to Anna with Yoruichi after the two captains left): You sure about this?

Anna (looks at David and Yoruichi): It had to be done. To zip their mouth I must show my strength.

(away from Anna)

Yukimaru (walking to Keith): Nice to meet you in person.

Keith (while shaking hands with Yukimaru): Same here.

Yukimaru (and Keith look at Anna while talking with David and Yoruichi): Thank you for keeping Anna safe.

Keith: To be honest I failed on that. She killed herself trying not to kill me from being controlled. However, I tried my best to keep her out of trouble.

Yukimaru: So are you in a new type of contact?

Keith: Yes. We're in a master and servant contract.

Yukimaru: So no matter what happens you're going to do anything to protect Anna?

Keith: Yes.

David (walking towards Keith and Yukimaru): Yoruichi took Anna to the changing room so Anna could change her clothes.

Yukimaru (look at Keith): Follow us. We'll meet the girls at the battle arena.

Keith: Alright.

(battle arena)

Anna (walking into the arena wearing her battle outfit): Sorry for being late.

Renji (holding his sword): Took your time.

Makoto (holding a sword and gun): You ready?

Anna (while her two swords appear in her hand): Yeah.

Makoto: Are you going to use those swords or will you be using other weapons?

Anna: I'll be using only these since I'm more dangerous with one sword.

Renji: That's hard to believe.

Makoto: It's true. I saw it myself.

(outside arena barrier)

Keith: Does Makoto know Anna?

Yukimaru: They do. Makoto is my brother's close friend and the reason they know each other is because Anna always followed my brother around at the base.

Keith (notice): Wait. Is your brother's name Shoto?

Yukimaru: Yes.

Keith (surprise): That's why Anna wasn't able to look at you.

Yoruichi: What do you mean Keith?

Yukimaru: Anna still feels bad about what happened to Shoto.

David (look at Anna): So did Anna decide to do this to allow Makoto to release some of his anger at her?

Keith: I don't know.

(inside the arena)

Everyone waited for a bit before Makoto took one step suddenly disappearing but Anna blocked his attack with one sword. After pushing Makoto back he quickly fired five bullets that were infused with lightning so Anna spun around covering her blades in fire to create a light tornado around her to block the attack.

Anna (in her mind after noticing): Where's Renji?

When Anna looked up Renji came falling from the ceiling but while she waited for the opportunity to block Renji threw a dark mist orb to the ground making it explode to create a smoke screen.

Anna (in her mind while on guard): What I can remember is Makoto and Renji are one of the best duos. Renji can hold his own but his magic is perfect for supporting himself and fellow comrades. While Makoto is fast like Keith using his sword for close range and use his gun for far range to cover his blind spot.

Anna suddenly sensed someone walking towards her but when she turned around about to attack she saw Shoto being shocked. While the mist cleared up everyone else was also shocked but Yukimari was mad gripping his fist.

Anna (while her sword disappears): How? How are you alive? (touch Shoto's face) If I wasn't that weak in the past you would have been alive.

Renji (Shoto (while his voice returns to normal)): Aww Anna. You're so pathetic.

(outside arena)

Keith (hits the barrier with his fist being mad after seeing Renji stab Anna's stomach when his disguise disappears): How dare you!

David: Keith calm down.

Yoruichi: Renji's speciality is illusions. He can trick anyone letting their guard down.

Yukimaru: Once the battle begins we can't interfere.

Keith (in his mind after noticing Yukimaru's fist): Yukimaru must be even madder than me since he knows his brother is already gone.

(inside the arena)

Renji (Anna went on her knee after pulling the sword out): How does that feel?

Anna (smiling while she stands): That didn't even hurt. (after taking her coat off) See the wound you gave me has already closed.

Renji (while covering his sword in his dark magic): That's because you have quick regeneration.

Anna (while her swords reappear): I only use it when I have to.

Anna suddenly jumped dodging Makoto's slash before doing a back flip in mid-air to float once her wings appeared but she started feeling the thurst effect. Makoto and Renji stand next to each other before Makoto fires a bullet beam at the same time Renji release a dark beam from his hand that fuses together before hitting Anna.

(outside arena)

David (while looking at the smoke): Is Anna alright?

Yoruichi: I don't know.

Keith (in his mind): I have a bad feeling.
