Chapter Five
I frowned as there was a pounding on my door. Pushing my self up, I walked to the door opening it. Ducking my head out, I looked to Major Payne. He stood in attention. I frowned.
"Yes Major, is there a problem?" I asked opening the door fully, showing all the wrinkles in my clothes, from just waking up.
"There's a problem on Deck. Blood has pinned someone in a Malkuth uniform. We can't get him off nor can we get closer to see." He spoke calmly, he had grown. I nodded frowning.
"Give me one moment, Major." I said before I turned going to my bad that had been sitting in the corner since I boarded the ship. I bent down grabbing my two Stilettos from my bed and pulling them to my hips. (AN don do this very often BUT, in order to understand the Stilettos please read the prequel. Tks) I fallowed the Major down the hall to an open door onto the deck.
Upon arrival, I saw basically every Malkuth on the ship standing on deck. I heard frantic, high pitched screaming and figured it was the one who Blood had pinned.
I walked threw the crowd, though many stepped aside. I looked to Blood, seeing tell-tell signs that the soldiers never saw, not that they knew to look.
The fur on Blood's back was prickled up, meaning he saw a sign of danger. His snarling was a warning to his opponent that he would kill and his posture showed sighs of a 'I-can-kill-you-in-a-few-blows' signal.
I frowned walking to blood.
"Blood." I called out softly, getting his attention. As I though, Blood's eyes where like slits. A common sign he was pissed off. I just sighed shaking my head.
As I proceeded toward Blood carefully, I kept my footsteps light, my breathing low, and I kept totally in control. Getting closer, I bent down so that I was using my hands to help me walk. I knew many of the soldiers were confused, but I didn't care about them at the moment. I was more focused on keeping Blood calm, because as we all know, a calm liger is one less dead man.
I chuckled at my joke and Blood glanced at me.
"Later my friend." I spoke softly, as I came to a halt. The male in question looked scared shitless. He had scraggly brown hair, and Terror-stricken eyes. I smiled, tapping the male. He looked at me and I shook my head.
"It would have done better if there was some one on the ship, that didn't know most all the soldiers that where on the ship." I smirked tapping the deck. ," What division are you in soldier?" I asked kindly, I knew he wasn't a soldier but the others didn't. I smiled as eh stammered, I couldn't help but to laugh, He looked like he was about to have a heart attack.
"Second d-d-division!" he stumbled and I snorted. I bent down close to him and smiled.
"Thats a lie." I whispered, "What to know how I know?" the male nodded and I smiled, "Because I was the head for the second division until about two days ago. It takes about three days to get into the second division and I would have seen you at some point when you joined the Malkuth Army." I smiled standing up I glanced over my shoulder eying Major Payne. "Up Blood, up you mongrel." I spoke in an authority in my voice. Blood stood up and backed away still growling lightly. The male stood up shaking. I smiled.
"Now strip to your skivvies." I put my hands on my hips, standing up straight, shoulders back, as the male stripped. When he was finished, I turned on my heel facing Payne. "Major."
He snapped to attention, "Yes? Lieutenant Colonel Jaeger?" He spoke looking me straight in the eye.
" Arrest this man on charges of impersonating a Malkuth soldier, entering a restricted area, seeing as no civilians were suppose to be on this ship, except for the crew, and see if you can get him on an illegal passage into Kimlasca." I smiled briefly as he nodded and him and a few others, of which whose names I unfortunately could not place, grabbed the man hauling him down below.
Blood pushed up against my leg and I patted his head.
"Good Job my friend." I muttered heading to the rear of the ship, Blood at my side. I sighed leaning against the railing. Looking out over the water, I sighed. Blood sat beside me keeping quiet. I smiled finally content.
Bloods Point of View (Later that night)
I grumbled walking back and forth in our room. It was almost time for us to get off. I glanced to Kiri, she had fallen asleep about thirty minutes after we had gotten back to our cabin about three hours ago.
I wondered around the small area, not was not fit for a liger of my size, but at least they did give up one of the bigger ones so that I could lay down and sleep. Glancing to Kiri's sleeping form, I moved to the bed and licked her cheek. A lick was my equivalent of a kiss. There for only Kiri got licked.
I lay down beside the bed but didn't go to sleep. I sighed as I felt the ship stop. I heard some one walking down the hallway and I stood up. Pawing at Kiri's arm to wake her up, I heard a knock on the door.
" Enter." I called out, though it sounded more of a growl. I pawed at her more roughly. She wiggled sitting up as the door opened. In the doorway stood a scared soldier, Kiri just looked at him rubbing her eyes.
I glared at the male, Kiri needed her sleep. " What is it?" I growled not moving and Kiri tapped my head twice. I looked up at her and she rubbed my head.
"we made it to our destination, Lieutenant Colonel Jaeger." the soldier stammered out as he eyed me, even though he was talking to Kiri. Kiri nodded patting my head one last time. I let out an odd fusion of a growl and purr.
Kiri's Point of View
I yawned as I packed my stuff together. We had finally made it to Chesedonia. I slung my bags over my shoulder and headed out the door. Half way down the hallway, I was meet by a group of Malkuth soldiers with Major Arum Payne as the lead.
I glanced to blood checking on him before I engaged into the group. Blood seemed a bit grumpy, like he was upset about something. I shook my head sighed.
"Ready?" Major Payne asked looking to me. I nodded.
"Yes Major. We're good to go my friend, I'll be more than happy once I get off this ship." I growled out the lasts sentence. Oh, I hated this ship with a passion; Everyone on the ship knew it.
We headed up the hallway, and emerged on the bridge I looked at the ships in the deck. I glanced to Major Payne.
"Where is the Tartarus II? Its suppose to be here waiting." I frowned and he looked at me.
"They are running behind, there was an engine problem." he said and I frowned, it wasn't fair. We walked off the ship and they closed the loading dock and were gone. I think there were all to happy to be rid of us. I sighed shaking my head, " I guess we're held up in an Inn tonight?" I asked, it had been a few years since I had been here, "There a bar here too right?"
I glanced at him as he nodded vigorously, I nodded in contentment and glanced at Blood.
"I'm going to get a drink, or two, Stay out of trouble." I said smiling. Major Payne looked at me, " We called ahead and already book a room, actually the whole Inn, don't wanna take any chances, so All you have to do is claw at the doors. Blood nodded and I held my arm out to Major Payne. "Major."
"yes, Lieutenant Colonel?" He asked smiling. I glanced to him.
"Will you assist me to the bar?" I smirked.
" I shall." He said offering me his arm. We both laughed.
"Be good Blood." I called out, Blood rolled his eyes at me a choking noise coming out.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah I could tell you the same!" he called back.
Blood's Point of View
I was sure people had stared when I yelled out but I didn't care. I sat on the Inn stairs for awhile, there was really nothing to do here. Every once in a while there would be a thief and they would see me and continue on there way.
At about Nine that night I had laid down on the steps waiting for Kiri and Major Payne to show up. I laughed roughly, when Kiri said one or two, what she actually meant was about twenty or so. The Poor Major, should have warned him. Oh well.
I closed my eyes laying my head on the stairs. I awaited eagerly for Kiri to show up, I would not be in comfort until she was.
At a Quarter to midnight, I saw The Major carrying Kiri towards the Inn. I laughed as he glared.
"Could have warned me." he muttered entering the inn and walking to a room I shrugged.
"Could have, should have, but I didn't. Get over it." I laughed as he lay her on the bed, she was asleep.
I lay down on the floor beside her slowly drifting into a slumber, Tomorrow the work began.
