Journey of the Last Demon and the Female Lieutenant

Chapter 73

(two day later human realm forest inside a cave)

Anna (in her mind after opening her eyes while lying on the ground and having her coat used as a blanket): Where am I? (touch her head after sitting up so quickly) My head killing me. The last thing I remember was that I got knocked into the water and when I came out I felt dizzy. Once the Shadow King found me someone appeared from lightning but I don't remember who it was.

Keith (walking in without his coat while his left top arm has a bandage): You're awake.

Anna (look at Keith): What are you doing here?

Keith (sitting next to Anna): You don't remember. (after Anna shakes her head) I came after you once I was told you went to the shadow realm. Luckily I arrive in time to save you.

Anna: It wasn't a dream. (shocked after noticing a bite mark on Keith's neck) When did I drink your blood?

Keith: After bringing you here you unconsciously wanted blood. (after lifting Anna's chin a bit) Your eyes were so dim but it was so bright.

Anna (looking to the side): It could have been worse.

Keith: Can you look at me and tell me why you left me to battle a tough opponent on your own?

Anna (look at Keith): Because I had a vision. I saw you taking a hit for me and it look so bad it could have killed you. I didn't want that to happen so I didn't tell you the whole thing.

Keith (hug Anna): Thank you for worrying about me but sometimes we have to take the risk. Seeing the future doesn't mean it will happen however that doesn't mean we can't be careful.

Anna: I hear you.

Keith (after Anna felt pain when she moved her leg a bit): Sorry I forgot to tell you not to move your knee because it's broken so you won't be able to walk.

Anna: I could heal my knee since you did treat me.

Keith: You need to rest from using magic. I ask Sabrina to treat your knee once we reach the vampire realm.

Anna: Okay.

Keith (after touching Anna's head): However before we head there I want to show you something I just found.

Anna (shows a gentle smile): Then let's go now.

(Forest)

Keith (jumping off trees while carrying Anna on his back having both their coats on and hair in a high ponytail): Am I going too fast?

Anna (smiling): This feels great. Is this your normal speed?

Keith (stepping on rocks after reaching the lake when he jumped off the last tree): Yeah. I forgot I only showed you my quick katana skills and my normal speed that fuses with lightning.

Anna: With your lightning speed you're almost untouchable.

Keith: I'm not that untouchable because I have got caught with my high speed.

Anna (while Keith continues running on foot): However you found a way to break free.

Keith: True. (notice) We're almost there.

After jumping on a tree branch he jumped again to give himself an extra boost forward before landing on a tree branch near a cliff. When Anna sat down she could see a view of a bunch of trees that led to an ocean with the sunlight almost reflecting.

Anna (while Keith sits next to her): It's so pretty.

Keith: If you like I can find more pretty views if we continue traveling after the war.

Anna (leans on Keith's shoulder): Instead of you searching for the perfect view we can look together.

Keith: Alright we can do that.

Anna (sitting up after noticing): Oh no! Yukimaru is going to kill me.

Keith (putting Anna's head back on his shoulder): Don't worry I asked Yurei to inform him about the situation before he worried.

Anna: Thank you.

Keith (Anna blushes after hearing her stomach growl): How about we catch some fish before heading to the vampire realm?

Anna: Let's go. Let's see how many you can catch.

Keith: Before we go I've been wondering. If I had a gift with me that was from my crush would you be mad?

Anna: Of course not. Something that was given to you is precious and I know it won't interfere with our relationship.

Keith (after coming off the tree branch): I understand. (holding his arm out after turning around) Now let's catch some fish.

Anna (while pushing herself off the tree branch): Okay.

Keith (in his mind while time slows down): I'm happy to hear that none of us will be jealous about our past crush. (smiling after catching Anna) I'm so happy to have you in my life.

(sunset vampire realm inside palace entrance)

Anna (on Keith's back while he walks in): That was so much fun.

Keith: I find it interesting how you used your wind magic to create a water orb to catch five fish at once.

Sarbina (sitting in the middle of the stairs): You're late.

Keith (walking towards Sabrina): Sorry I lost track of the time.

Anna: You didn't tell me you had a persific time to be here.

Keith (while Sabrina stands): That's because I wanted to have fun on our date.

Anna (face completely turns red): That was a date?!

Sabrina (walking up the stairs having Keith follow behind): Keith I think next time you should ask your girlfriend out instead of surprising her.

Keith: But seeing her reactions is funny though.

(second floor)

Anna: Then can you give me a break from the surprises?

Keith: Alright.

Sabrina: Yurei has some news that he wanted me to tell you.

Anna: Let me guess their time to invade is almost here.

Sabrina: Correct.

Keith: Have Yurei inform the others?

Sabrina: He has and Yukimaru is planning where everyone should meet for the big war.

Keith (after Anna grips his shoulders): What's on your mind?
