Journey of the Last Demon and the Female Lieutenant

Chapter 67

Yoruichi (look at David and Keith): No. It's been quiet.

Keith: That's not good. (in his mind) Sabrina, can you hear me? Sabrina!

Yurei (in Keith's mind while he took his coat off): I haven't been able to contact her either.

Keith (grabbing the door handle after passing his coat to David): No matter what. You don't let anyone in.

Yoruichi: But...

David (interrupting Yoruichi while holding Keith's coat): We understand.

(inside Anna's room)

Keith (in his mind while covering the door with his magic after entering): Anna? (at the same time his eyes change into shadow eyes after turning the light on) This is some intense bloodlust. (picking Anna's coat up after noticing) Her coat must have fallen off while trying to stay in control.

While standing Keith made Anna's coat disappear before walking to her bed. However, when Keith sense bloodlust he immediately turned around before someone jumped out of the dark area pushing Keith onto the bed.

Keith (in his mind surprised seeing Anna's white hair, mark and dull red eyes): You turn into your royal form to suppress the thirst until I arrive. (while Anna reaches for the side of his neck after leaning down) I'm sorry.

Anna (look at Keith without the dull eyes after leaning away): Keith. (letting Keith go) What was I doing?

Keith (while sitting up): Anna you need to drink some of my blood.

Anna (stepping away after getting off the bed): I can't. I'll just wait until...

Keith (interrupting after grabbing Anna's wrist): Until you eat a living animal. Sorry, but you can't wait for that long.

Anna (shouting): But I don't want to use someone I like to be my food! (in her mind after covering her mouth) I didn't mean to say that out loud.

Keith (after kissing Anna when he pulls her arm): And I don't want someone I love to suffer.

Without saying anything else Anna reached for Keith's neck starting to drink his blood but it didn't take long for Keith to hug Anna while feeling his strength leaving his body.

Keith (in his mind while stroking Anna's back head after lying on the bed): Take as much as you need. With the remaining strength I have, I will protect you.

(hallway outside Anna's door)

Yoruichi: I wonder what going on in there?

David: Keith used his magic to lock the door and all sound inside. Plus it's getting late.

Yoruichi (notice): David. Keith's coat disappeared.

David (while seeing Keith's aura disappear from the door): Let's see if they're okay.

(Anna's room)

Yoruichi (whispering while seeing Keith and Anna asleep on the bed without their shoes): Their sleep.

David (whispering): I think we should just let them sleep.

Yoruichi (while putting a blanket on them seeing Keith hugging Anna): I don't want them to catch a cold. (in her mind while leaving with David) Sleep well you two.

(next day morning)

Sabrina (in Anna's mind while seeing Anna open her eyes): Morning Anna. How are you feeling?

Anna (after sitting up): I'm feeling better. (in her mind while looking at Keith's sleeping face) It's all thanks to him.

Sabrina (watch Anna pull the blanket up a bit after getting out of bed): What are you planning to do today?

Anna: I'm going to ask Yukimaru to move the meeting to tomorrow. So Keith can restore his strength.

Sabrina (appears in ghost form): Did I miss something?

Anna (walking to the bathroom): No but can I have your permission to give Yukimaru a copy of the book we made?

Sabrina (smiling): You can. I can tell he can be trusted.

Anna (smiling at Sabrina before entering the bathroom): Thank you.

(Yukimaru office)

Yukimaru (hears a knock while looking at papers): You can come in.

Anna (after walking in wearing her soldier outfit): Do you have a moment to talk?

Yukimaru (surprised while putting the papers down): Of course. (while standing) Take a seat.

Anna (sitting on the sofa while Yukimaru sits on the opposite sofa): Thank you for sparing some time for me.

Yukimaru: I wanted to have a chat with you but I've been busy. However, let's talk about why you came here first.

Anna: I wanted to ask you if you can move the meeting to tomorrow. Keith needs to restore his strength.

Yukimaru: Did you do something indecent?

Anna (blushing): Of course not. It's just I took too much of his blood last night because I tried suppressing my bloodlust.

Yukimaru: You didn't want to hurt him because Keith means a lot to you. It's nice to see you moving on.

Anna: So you knew?

Yukimaru (smiling): By how close you and my brother were I could tell something changed. Anyway to your request I can move the meeting to tomorrow.

Anna: Thank you. (while two books appear on her hand) I also came here to give you this.

Yukimaru (while Anna puts the books on the table): What do these two books hold?

Anna: One book has the secrets about me, the stages of gaining new abilities and a bit of information about the vampires. With the guardian's permission the name I can't say allowed me to share this information but only rank generals and above can now.

Yukimaru (holding the first book): This book holds top secret information about your current self. How are you so calm about making this decision?

Anna: That's because I trust you and I know you'll only tell people you trust to keep that information to the grave.

Yukimaru (picking up the second book): What about this?

Anna: That's hold information my team gathered through our journey. You can share that book with everyone in the military.

Yukimaru: Thank you. However, I have to ask. What happens if we don't become allies?
