Journey of the Last Demon and the Female Lieutenant

Chapter 82

(base Yoruichi office)

Anna (walking in having her hood off at the same time her outfit changed while glowing): I'm here.

Once the glow disappears Anna wears a pink shirt with no sleeves, a black middle-length coat that has long loose sleeves and a zip that closes up to the chest. Black knee-length skirt, black knee-length leggings and ankle boots that have short heels with baby pink underneath and black hairband.

Yoruichi: Perfect timing. (while Anna gets behind her chair) Nice outfit by the way.

Anna (smiling): Thank you. Sabrina picked these clothes for me.

Yoruichi (after a screen appears): Looks like it's about to start.

Yukimaru (a hologram of him and the other captains): Good evening everyone.

Everyone (but Yukimaru): Good evening general.

David: Where's Makoto?

Renji: He's doing something right now but he is listening.

Anna: So has the destination of our headquarters for the war been decided?

Yukimaru: Yes. The major and I decided to have our base at my headquarters. I already have the people in the town leaving. The soldiers are taking them to a safe location.

Yoruichi: So when should we arrive?

Yukimaru: Within the month but I want you to try to arrive within a couple of days.

Everyone (but Yukimaru): Understood sir.

(Sunset Ocean Land Makoto base training ground)

Makoto (wearing a training soldier outfit while passing Keith a water bottle): Here.

Keith (taking the bottle): Thanks.

Keith wearing a jungle green shirt with no sleeves, black jogger trousers, black short gloves that don't cover his fingers, jungle green plimsols and his hair in a high ponytail.

Makoto (sitting next to Keith): You're stronger than before and you almost got the hand on absorbing lightning.

Keith (after drinking some water): Thanks. So we're heading out in a few days?

Makoto: According to the meeting.

Soldier (running towards them): There you are captain.

Makoto (after standing): What's with the rush?

Soldier: Renji wants me to tell you something important.

Makoto (after the soldier whispers in his ear): I see. (look at Keith) Once you change come to my office.

Keith (look at Makoto): Okay. (in his mind while Makoto walks away with the soldier) I should talk to Anna soon. I shouldn't keep her in the dark.

(night snow mountain base Anna room)

Anna (sitting on her bed holding a small box having her coat off): I wonder why Yoruichi gave me this?

Anna opened the box seeing a silver ring that had a baby pink circle gem in the middle with a small note. After putting the ring on her left ring finger a hologram keyboard appeared so she could put the password in. Suddenly Anna felt something cut her finger a bit seeing her gem glow a bit before seeing a colour hologram person appear.

Anna (shock): Keith.

Keith (shock while wearing his pyjamas): Anna.

Anna (and Keith touch each other hand): You made me so worried.

Keith: I'm sorry.

Anna (notice): You also have your ring on your finger. Plus we almost match besides having our gem a different colour.

Keith: Makoto told me that Yukimaru had these rings made for us.

Anna: It's one of his bloodline family traditions he told me about. So when did you wake up?

Keith: A couple of days ago.

Anna: Did you wake up with those ears? They look good with your new scars.

Keith: Yeah but that's a long story.

Anna (smiling): I wish I could hug you now but that can wait until we meet in person.

Keith (touches Anna's cheek): You look lovely in that outfit. Now get some sleep you look tired.

Anna (smiling): Okay. You better get some sleep too.

Keith: Don't worry I will.

(ocean land Makoto base Keith room)

Keith (sitting on his bed once Anna's hologram disappears): It felt nice speaking to Anna again. (in his mind looking at the ring) I wonder if Anna knows that our blood is sealed in the gem?

(two-week sunset snow mountain Yoruichi base roof)

Anna (in her mind while looking at the sun going down wearing her winter outfit): Can't believe we're leaving tomorrow.

Yoruichi (walking to Anna): When did you get back?

Anna (look at Yoruichi after turning a bit): Not too long ago.

Yoruichi: You must tell me where you've been going because you leave without saying anything.

Anna: Well I wanted to explore since before I couldn't because my body never did so well in this temperature. But today I went to check the shatter meteor. So far I sense no change.

Yoruichi (touches Anna's shoulder while standing next to her): While we're away I'll make sure they keep an eye on the meteor location.

Anna: My scouts have been watching but with your base technology it will be easier for me to inform them when to move in.

Yoruichi: I'm happy to be useful to your scouts.

Sabrina (in Anna's mind after appearing in spirit form): Anna we have a problem.

Anna (in her mind while looking at Sabrina): What's wrong?

Sabrina: Yukimaru is being attacked.

Anna (shock): What!
