Vol. 4 - Chapter 53

Keiko

A few hours passed, and Keiko stood in the garden, looking up to see the twin moons hovering over her head as the nighttime chill stuck to her skin like a layer of sweat. 

Keiko took a deep breath and wondered:

Where's Ash? 

The half-demon hadn't returned yet. The Mist realm was a few hours away, but almost twelve hours had gone by since she'd left, and the Savior was still out there. 

I hope nothing's happened to her,  Keiko thought, sighing as she heard someone walk up to her. She looked back and found Yumi, with a concerned expression on her face. 

"Are you coming in?" Yumi asked. "The others are going to have dinner in just a moment."
