Anika

Chapter 21

"Can you join me for a night stroll Saber?" Touga asked politely to the cat before he jumped out of the office window and transformed into his demon form. Saber followed close by.

"Is it true what Anika has told me about your bond?" Touga asked the feline in his Inu language.

"It is all true and I am very grateful for you to look out for her when I was unable to." Saber spoke back in her own cat language that Touga was able to understand because he was in his demon form.

"If you don't mind me asking but where exactly were you when Anika was dropped off at my shores?" Touga hoped that Saber would answer his question.

"I was busy trying to keep my furry hide alive back at home. America just had a new leader come into power and Anika's mother betrayed him by refusing his hand in marriage and instead married another man so he was trying to seek revenge and kill the two of us that is why I brought Anika over here in hopes that who ever lived here would find her and take her in and I was trying to divert his attention to me so he would not suspect that Anika has left the country but of course her mother had to try and find her and she in avertedly led him right to Anika. Then when I was going to make my flight here he chained me up and I was just able to escape recently." Saber walked calmly next to Touga who still was bigger than her.

"Do you know if he is going to come here looking for you or Anika again?" Touga wanted to know if he was going to have a war on his hands.

"I have no idea but he just might. If I were you I would be very well prepared because he is excellent in killing his enemies." Saber warned Touga.

"Do you have any experience in fighting?" Touga asked Saber.

"Every guardian animal is born with a natural ability to fight but it is up to us to better that skill or not and I would like to better my fighting skills so if maybe you or your pup can teach me that would be most appreciated." Saber asked very politely.

"Yes I think my pup can teach you but does he need to be in his demon form or his humanoid form?" Touga wasn't sure which form would be best.

"Both would ensure that I am absolutely prepared." Saber took a minute to think it through.
