[Inari pov]
I gave one last prayer to that man... the name of which escaped me. For I had never asked, nor had I ever heard his name. The only sound that reached me was his gentle voice against that inevitable death.
The screams he rose through. Fighting against my summons. Those were the only two voices I had ever heard him scream. And it was the reason why his grave was so empty. Merely a tombstone with an unknown name.
It told of his bravery... of the loyalty to his country. A loyalty and determination that I could respect. But as Lily entered the room behind me. Trailing with her another. I found myself lost within her eyes.
As she sat next to me. Trailing her hand through my ears. My own eyes closing as I purred next to her. Letting her hands pull me into her embrace. Her shiver as my own skin met hers. As I activated skill after skill.
