Izumi's P.O.V.

---

It's been almost three weeks since the war and Anima hasn't woken up yet. I couldn't feel the symptoms of her heat anymore so I presumed it was over. No demons attacked us again. Surprisingly, and I don't even know if Anima killed all of them. Which seems somewhat impossible.

I slouched down in the chair that was positioned next to her bed and watched her lay there motionless. The faint beep in the room was enough for me to be sure that she was still alive. I leaned forward and grabbed her hand, giving it a light squeeze.

"Please wake up."

Anima's P.O.V.

Kill them all.

Kill them

KILL THEM.

I jumped up and looked around, I was in a....void? Everything was white as far as my eyes could see. I look down at my appearance; I was in a long white gown which made me wonder.

Where the hell am I?

Suddenly a hole opened before me making me step back and on guard to fight. But it wasn't anything like that. I saw myself fighting against the demons who tries to get close to me and observed the way I moved. My demon was in control and boy she hated those things even though, it was her own kind.

Eventually the fighting stopped and the demon king appeared, her uncle. He glared at her in disapproval and shook his head.

"So this is what it's come to? Demons fighting demons?"

My demon, Nikita, simply looked at her uncle as he shook his head.

"You've grown quite a bit, Nikita." He smiled softly. "What is it you request?"

Nikita and I both tilted our heads. Wait what? What is it we request?

"Remember our law, any demon who refuses to return to the underworld but survives gets one wish so what is it you wish for? I'm a demon of my word."

I tched, at least that's one good thing about you.

"Leave the humans and myself alone. And never return." Nikita said and my eyes widened.

The demon king smiled then chuckled before opening his eyes, "Done."

He then disappeared and the ash on the ground by Nikita's feet disappeared as well. Nikita sighed and smiled to the sky, "Finally. It's over."

Suddenly the image disappeared and the void around me started to shake and crumble. Huh!? I climbed higher and the floor beneath me starting to crack and fall apart. It was complete darkness below me. I continued to climb and climb until I was barely jumping on tiny fragments of the void. A clear and bright light shone a few meters above me and I tried my best to reach it. Seeing the last piece of the void a few feet away, I jumped towards it and pushed myself up reaching out and touching the light.

Izumi's P.O.V.

Anima's finger twitched in my hand making me yell for Dr.Kina who hurried in the room, followed my friends as well.

"She moved." I said hopeful as the Dr. checked her.

Her hand moved again and she groaned making Hisake squeal a little.

Her eyes eventually fluttered open and hissed at the light in the room and closed them. Iyato laughed and Hisake squealed again. Takashi and Menami high fived each other and I looked back down to Anima.
