Chapter 64 - Suspects

After placing the whole litter into a secluded room we call a vet who checks on the little family.

"Every one of them is perfectly healthy. The runt is fine too just tiny and in need of some extra TLC also some extra nutrients if she doesn't get into feeding time with the rest of her brother and sisters."

Kirito nods taking notes of every detail, After the home vet leaves, we take our time to care for the cats. I take a step back to see Ash's tender side come out as he pets the baby kittens. For a moment their one couldn't tell any of the hardships he had endured before.

Next, I take notice of Kirito.

For some reason, my heart always speeds up upon seeing him. Though we haven't had much time for us as a couple I still found myself engulfed in his charms and aroma.

The way he cares for others and how much effort he puts into everything that's in front of him is truly amazing.

I watched as they both fawned over the baby's until the doorbell ringing brought us back to reality.

I stand up and wave towards them.

"It's ok I'll get the door you two can tend to them."

I open the door and see the headmaster smiling in front of me.

"Yuki! Just the person I was looking for are you home alone?"

For some reason, the question caught me off guard but I shook my head.

"Oh uh...No why what's up?"

Headmaster peeks behind me before pulling me outside closing the door behind us.

"I have some private matters I need to discuss with you that not even Kirito can know."

I wearily nod my head in agreement.

"Ok, What's wrong?"

Headmaster hands me a government official letter and I open it.

"What you're about to read needs to stay between you and I, No matter how hard it is to hear you must keep thinking straight."

I nod and feel a lump in my throat as I begin to read.

To every secret service member.

It has been brought to our attention that we have a few moles in our government, We have great news, and thanks to all of your efforts we have found multiple moles, we are currently still looking for the others that have come to our attention.

Below are the names of possible suspects that need immediate arrest. You must bring back all of them alive. If you encounter one please be aware they may be armed and dangerous.

The letter goes on with dozens of names but only a few catch my eyes.

Kazuki Shun

Yuki Hiroshimae

Kirito Ryoko

Kana Jinnian

Kadachi Izumiko

Suzaku Sheng

Shun Shi

"Why are all of our names on here!?"

Headmaster sighs and leans back along the wall.

"I'm not entirely sure myself but we need to get you out of here, Do not worry about everyone else they will be fine but you...Your related to Kazuki and everyone knows that so that worries me more than anything else."

(What he says makes sense...But...)

"I'm sorry headmaster but if im going so is everyone else."

Headmaster smirks but it was a sad smirk.

"I knew you'd say something like that...So...Im sorry that I have to do this in advance."

Before I could speak another word it was like everything happened in an instant, He tries to knock me out from behind but I narrowly duck and counter with a step back bringing a magic circle in front of me.

"Yuki, Dont draw attention here, If you do the reformists that have been sent to collect everyone will get here faster, Just come with me before it's to late!"

I shake my head.

"I'm sorry but no I can't leave them! I will not save myself when there is a chance I can save them as well!"

Headmaster sighs as the front door opens and Kirito comes out pushing Ash behind the door to keep him from being seen.

"What's going on?!"

Headmaster rolls his eyes and hands Kirito the letter.

"I guess there is nothing I can do when it comes to you kids, just quickly pack and let's get out of here, We will pick up the rest of your friends along the way."

I nod and quit my attack. Kirito tosses the letter back to Headmaster and rushes inside calling for his butler.

"Yes, young master?"

Kirito hands him the vets list.

"Take care of the cats and everything else around here while we are away, You know how to contact me in case of an emergency...I will not tell you where we are going so no one can bother you about these details. If anyone asks tell them I told you this last part but don't tell them anything else I have said."

The butler smiles while nodding.

"Of course sir, Have a nice vacation!"

The headmaster closes the door behind us and immediately takes notice of Ash who is wearing a mask.

"Uh...Who's this guy?"

I pat Ash's back and give the headmaster a bright smile.

"He's our new fighting servant, Say hi...uh...Chi?"

Ash seemed to have gotten irritated and just stayed silent. It was an awkward silence before Kirito came back with three luggage bags.

"Ok, we're all set let's head out now."

(I don't think it's a good idea to tell anyone about Ash yet, I'm sure Ash is thinking the same.)

The headmaster leads us to an SUV where we all get in and drive off.

Along the way, we managed to pick up Kadachi, Shun, and Suzaku.

"Next is Kana, She should be at the hospital still."

As I say those words my phone begins to ring. I look down to see Kanas's name and quickly answer.

"Kana! Hey it"

She quickly interrupts me.

"Yuki, Whatever you do, don't come here to visit me and be careful around others...Some people came to talk to me about you and some of the others and they just left, They said something about treason and...-"

She cuts out and I hear some background noise.

"Mrs. Kana it's time to go on your afternoon walk let's take the wheelchair this time!"

I sigh in relief hearing it was a nurse, Kana agrees before the nurse leaves to go fetch the wheelchair picking the phone back up I quickly start to speak.

"Kana listen, We are on our way to pick you up, try to get the nurse away and we will take you with us!"
