Journey of the Last Demon and the Female Lieutenant

Chapter 79

Sabrina (in Anna's mind after she appears in spirit form when Renji just left): Before that you need to change.

Anna (in her mind while standing): I know.

(hallway)

Sabrina (walking with Anna): I can't believe you didn't bother to change your clothes before your lesson.

Anna: I thought it was okay to be lazy since it's my last day.

Sabrina: As a Vampire Queen it's not alright.

Anna: But here I'm not the Vampire Queen. Yes, I know that's my rank but I use it for important matters like the meeting. Also now that we're allies everyone won't care what I wear.

Sabrina: That's one way to show nothing change.

Anna (in front of her bedroom door): What's wrong?

(inside Anna's room)

Sabrina (after Anna enters): It's just how people treat you because when I took the position to be the next Vampire Queen I lost my friends and everyone treated me so differently.

Anna (walking to the bathroom): Because they thought they couldn't stay friends with your rank.

Sabrina (notice once the bathroom door closes): Wait. When did you look into my past?

Anna (while Sabrina sits down on a chair): When I obtain your eyes some of your memories flowed into my mind and some I could see in my sleep.

(Bathroom)

Sabrina (in Anna's mind while Anna enters the bath): I should have known.

Anna (in Sabrina's mind): I should have told you but it was none of my business to bring up your past.

Sabrina: I'm surprised your brain hasn't died with mine and Shizuka's memories.

Anna (smiling): If I got both of your memories at the same time then I would have died or be out of action for a few days.

Sabrina: By the way how many blood containers do you have?

Anna: I have two left because I just drank one yesterday.

Sabrina: That's good.

Anna (while stretching): So do you have any news?

Sabrina: There's only one thing to report to you about. While searching in the Shadow King's palace we couldn't enter because of the barrier. Right now everyone watching from a distance.

Anna (while getting out of the bath): That's not good at all. We need to learn more without losing people.

Sabrina (while Anna fills up a bucket of warm water): Once you're with Yoruichi I'll be returning to the shadow realm.

Anna (after pouring the bucket above her head): Okay. (drying her hair with a towel while using her aura to dry her body) By the way, I'm planning to help Renji today.

Sabrina (while Anna folded desert outfit shirt and short leggings appear): Shouldn't you be resting?

Anna (putting on her leggings): If I chill in my room I'll be bored. Plus I can't go into town.

Sabrina (while Anna put her shirt on): That's one way to keep yourself busy.

(Bedroom)

Anna (after opening the door): Also Renji might need help because he might be behind on his work.

Sabrina: Just don't overwork yourself.

Anna: Don't worry I won't.

Sabrina (Anna put her boots on while sitting on her bed): So Anna can you tell me why you're so calm?

Anna (while standing): I thought you knew.

Sabrina: I was with Makoto and Renji. I too know when to give someone space.

Anna (after her coat appears on her bed): When I saw Keith I was worried that he would never wake up but after touching his hand. I saw that he'd be fine and fighting by my side in the war.

Sabrina: That's good. (at the same time Anna put her coat on) Knowing that from your future sight kept you calm to make that decision.

Anna (pull her hair out from in her coat): Yeah and it keeps everyone safe. (walking to the door) Time to go to Renji's office.

Sabrina (while disappearing): Right behind you.

(Renji office)

Anna (while opening the door): Renji do you have a moment?

Renji (looks at two screens while he's at his desk): Sorry Anna but I got my hands full.

Anna (walking in): I thought so. Let me help you with your work.

Renji (looks at Anna after he sighs when she stops at his table): Take a seat. (made one of his screens reappear at the table) I'll make us some tea. (walking to a side table behind him) Pick any report you want to do.

Anna (smiling while taking a seat on the sofa): Thanks for allowing me to help.

Renji (in his mind watching Anna make a hologram keyboard and an extra screen appear while the kettle boils): I find it interesting how different Anna is during combat, work and on her own time.

Sabrina (in Renji's mind while he makes tea): Because someone taught her well knowing when to get straight down to work and when she can goof around.

Renji (puts a tea bag in the two cups): That's why she kinda reminds me of Shoto.

(forest town Yukimaru headquarters office)

Makoto (standing near Yoruichi while in front of Yukimaru's desk): What's with the sudden call general?

Yukimaru: I want to give you two something but I want to hear how Keith and Anna are doing first.

Makoto: Keith is in stable condition. Anna of course came by once Yurei told her what happened. Anna said it be best to have them both stay away from each other until we all gather.

Yoruichi: Anna is at Renji base but tonight she'll be staying with me for the time being.

Yukimaru: I see. Well, it's a good thing I call you both here.
