Reincarnated Into A Hell Hound - BL/Yaoi

Truly selfish of her, trying to push such big responsibility on someone"s life; though I understand why she did that, we can do crazy things for those we love, especially if their life, of all things, is at stake.

And I still wonder what did she meant by "things will change", about her urgency to take Isa out of here; after all she has hidden him for many years already, to simply chose a stranger to help her now, out of nowhere?

Unlikely.

Unless… I was her only choice.

Well, f.u.c.k me, thanks for the doubt granny, even more when I need to focus on my mission, really well-timed of her.

When I finally ready to start I take a deep breath to clear my mind and focus on the task at hand, shaking my head to the sides. For this nocturnal mission I wouldn"t use my human form most of the time, not that it matters when I wouldn"t be seen, but rather be safe than sorry I think as I change to my most comfortable form while keeping my servant clothes in my hidden dimension.

And even though I had not settled my mind on what to do with Isa after this mission was over I could not afford to waste more time any longer, nor start this important mission unfocused, so I brush those thoughts aside and have a look around me.

Thankfully tonight the moon was only half full so the path was dark enough for my black hound body to be covered even without entering my shadow, I just needed to be careful so my crystal wouldn"t s.h.i.+ne in the darkness.

With my long legs I give wide smooth hoping steps that had all sound covered by the gra.s.s and my shadows as I keep myself to the side of the path, walking over the many plants the place had to make up for the lack of color on the walls.

And for such an important place there was a rather lack of guards walking around, even more competent fighters for what I could see, probably for the fact that men were not allow here, which left the job to the eunuchs who mostly did the work of servants, not guards.

Beyond that the women here were too prideful to work with such labors, which left only the guards over the hill to keep this place safe; I guess they never expected someone to pa.s.s the front gates and try to attack them here.

Very naïve of them.

Though I have to give them that, probably noticing some lack of security, they cast a lot of invisible magical traps and barriers that could recognize who was pa.s.sing through and if they had the authorization to do so and the user would not even perceive that there was a barrier there to begin with of how discreet they made it.

I guess is like invading a normal building, there is some level of security, but not on the level a bank would have; so much as to that parts of it have little to no security at all once you are inside.

That"s how I manage to pitter-patter my way closer to the strict area, where finally the security starts to get a  little better; I was starting to get suspicious about it; though I will at least give them that the magical invisible barries would be enough to keep most people outside.

Pity for them, I wasn"t one of them.

I find flaws on the barriers with my third eye, watch out for magical traps, walking slowly but surely upwards, the only disconcerting fact being the creatures that I found being handle my the eunuchs, the only true "guards" around here.

Other h.e.l.l Hounds.

It what strange to see my own kind like that, for the first time even; but it makes sense since they are very requested for such purposes, mostly like watchdogs in my previous life, only adding the fact that they could spit fire and sometimes explode in an armored fire creature.

You know, minor details.

I did not bother trying to free them for, one, they did not have a contract forced upon them, and two, were there because they wanted too, probably being trained since youth for such tasks.

And even though they should prove to be more difficult to pa.s.s by, once I was inside my shadow even my smell was covered, as if my whole body was put in standby in another dimension, leaving only my shadow behind, so they, too, were unaware of my presence.

And in the dark… it was basically impossible to see me.

So that"s how I easily bypa.s.s them until I reach the last steps to the forbidden area, where two eunuchs were standing with the two bigger hounds on a leash, seemly bored out of their minds, which made them lower their guards as they were simply talking with each other.

I had no doubt that I could easily pa.s.s by them, but what they were talking about caught my attention and made me eardrop on the side.

"Never seen this place so packed before, even the Wandering Sisters came back."

"I know right? But tell me, did you hear anything about this meeting?" The other one shrugs, changing his footing, probably tired from standing for so long.

"I mean, beyond the calling of the Higher Sister and all, not much."

"Ah, is that so, everybody is being so se-, Hey, where are you going in such a hurry?" He stops his sentence only to address another eunuch who came pa.s.sing by carrying things and almost tripping for the speed and amount he was carrying.

"Good night brothers, sorry I need to fetch things for the banquet and I"m very busy tonight."

"Wait, but it is only tomorrow night, why are you preparing things now in such a hurry?"

"Didn"t you hear? They changed the banquet for today since everybody is already here, so I have to prepare the place and the food and even if the Sister servants are there they won"t help with a thing!"

"Oh, must be harsh brother, you will be attending the banquet then? Then please let us know how it goes! We are worried about the subject at hand, of course." The guard says at the other eunuch who kept walking all throughout the conversation, only to go back at gossiping with the other guard on what this banquet may be about.

But one thing caught my attention the most in the conversation; the fact that the dinner would be tonight and that the servants would attend too, not as guests I bet but surely in presence.

And that Isa might be going alone there right now.

I stop at my tracks, still willing to go up and be done with my plan, but, maybe because of the weight that Eanna put on my shoulders, or just because of my tendency to overthink, I start to worry about Isaac.

Yeah, I haven"t seen that coming, but I was worried about him; he could be a jerk, but he… helped us out, in a way.

So almost like an encaged tiger I keep pacing back and forth, unsure what to do; many people had seen me with Isa, and some would be there attending the service, and my disappearance would be very apparent.

And when some books go missing as well as a certain servant from someone who had never had one before… well, is easy to figure some things out.

f.u.c.king horse s.h.i.+t, I have to go back, don"t I?

Ugh, nooo, why, I couldn"t be this unlucky could I?

But when I think about how my actions could cost Isaac"s life, who trusted us to keep his secret, and for some reason help us out even if at the cost of his ident.i.ty being exposed… well, I wouldn"t go as far as to say that it make me hate him less, but at least made me respect him in some weird way.

Plus, what type of person, or animal, would I be if I turned my back to him, or even worse, caused his downfall?

No better than the ones who kidnapped my brother, nor the humans in the past, not the puppeteer from now for sure.

With my decision made I turn around and run back to the common area, sniffing the air to find out if they were already out and about; which they were; and tracking down Isaac, only to find him standing straight in the middle of a group of Sister"s, and from the fact that some were the ones from this morning who politely mocked us, I bet he wanted to be there as much as I.

Oh joy, looking forward to a night with the ladies…

Note the sarcasm.

But I won"t deny… I"m a little curious about the subject of this reunion for how unique it seemed to be.

If only I knew what awaited us inside…
