Unexpected visit.

As Philippa prepared to feed Kakashi the contents of the container, Yennefer interrupted her before she had the chance.

Making a small noise to get their attention, Yennefer then questioned them in an unfriendly way.

"Philippa, may I ask what you're trying to do to Kakashi?"

Her unexpected appearance surprised them, as they were completely enveloped by the intoxicating atmosphere.

They weren't aware of their surroundings, Kakashi was especially surprised, he was so captivated by Philippa's aggressiveness that he didn't notice Yennefer approaching.

Because Kakashi did not expect this aggressive attitude from Philippa, he believed that even if she was going to try to seduce him, Philippa would do it in a calmer and more strategic way.

Philippa appeared to be a very capable seductress, she managed to awaken his most primitive instincts, but upon hearing Yennefer's voice, he regained his lucidity.

Luckily, Yennefer's presence dispelled the seductive atmosphere created by Philippa, leaving Kakashi relieved, he regained control of her feelings and desires.

Upon regaining his senses, Kakashi realized that he had allowed himself to be enveloped by that atmosphere, he knew that he would have to be more cautious with Philippa in the future.

With a wide smile on her face, Philippa faced Yennefer, showing her confidence in having managed to seduce Kakashi, even if it was for a brief moment.

She was fully aware that she would not be able to get Yennefer's approval to get closer to Kakashi, so Philippa decided that she would not hide her intentions.

Choosing to face Yennefer, Philippa was convinced that this strategy would be the most effective in winning Kakashi's heart.

Maintaining a respectful relationship didn't seem like a good choice, she would just have to be careful not to become her enemy, Philippa needed to maintain a certain degree of courtesy with Yennefer.

"It's no problem Yennefer, we were just getting a little closer, but now I need to go, the time has come for me to say goodbye."

Turning her gaze towards Kakashi, Philippa said goodbye in an intimate manner, using a tone to create the feeling that something more intimate happened between the two.

"Kakashi, I really loved our short moment in particular, it's a shame we were interrupted, next time we'll go to a more private place, for example the two of us alone in my room, I'm looking forward to our next meeting, see you later".

After her brief farewell, using a magical portal, Philippa disappeared from the environment, preventing Yennefer from having the chance to question her, leaving Kakashi with the dilemma that presented himself.

Philippa believed that she would not find Kakashi anytime soon, she knew that he did not intend to return to Arentuza anytime soon, while she would return to Rendania.

She was absent for a long period, which reduced her influence in the kingdom.

However, she was about to resume her activities and would make everything as organized as possible, waiting for Kakashi's return to Arentuza.

Philippa didn't know when, but she was already preparing herself to be able to spend a long time with her.

But before leaving she would leave a small gift for Kakashi.

Knowing Yennefer's possessiveness, Philippa would gradually create these small arguments between the two, thus gradually pushing them away, she believed that this was the only way she could get closer to Kakashi.

She knew that Yennefer wouldn't let her get close to Kakashi, so she would have to reduce the proximity between the two, to reduce Yennefer's influence on him.

Her plan would work, with other people, however with the two of them these small fights would never affect their relationship.

After so many decades of relationship, their bond was very powerful, few things in this world could negatively affect the affection they felt for each other.

However, Yennefer was still affected by her actions, leaving her irritated by the situation.

Yennefer cast an irritated look at Kakashi, her tone of voice denoted great dissatisfaction, making clear her interest in knowing what was going on between them.

"Kakashi, do you plan to share with me what happened between the two of you or would you prefer to avoid the subject like Philippa?"

Although Yennefer asked with a charming smile on her face, Kakashi knew that this situation would bring complications.

"It's not what you're imagining, Yen nothing relevant happened between me and Philippa, she was just trying to irritate you."

The words she spoke had little persuasive impact on Yennefer, she noticed the strange intimacy between the two, the two were very close to each other when she arrived.

"To me, it didn't seem like just a simple provocation, Kakashi she was extremely sure of herself, and Philippa wouldn't act like that without a valid reason."

Kakashi sighed secretly, the female perception was truly surprising and Philippa also contributed to complicating his situation even more.

'What do I do to escape this problem? Damn, Philippa why did you have to provoke Yennefer? It seems she was determined to make trouble for me.'

"I'm being honest, Yen. There was nothing inappropriate between her and me, Philippa was just trying to provoke you."

Despite having her doubts, Yennefer chose to trust what Kakashi said, she had no reason to distrust him, besides she knew that she had no right to interfere in her personal life in that way.

They didn't have that type of relationship, the most she could do was be unhappy with him, but that didn't stop her from being jealous of him, Yennefer knew that her attitude could end up pushing Kakashi away.

"It's okay, I believe you, I won't pursue this matter anymore."

Looking at the situation at the table they were at, Yennefer realized that Kakashi had eaten with Philippa.

"I'm thinking about asking you for lunch, but I realize that won't be necessary, as you've already had lunch with Philippa."

Even though she wanted to show displeasure and jealousy, Yennefer couldn't hold back and her feelings appeared in her voice.

It took some time, but Kakashi managed to reassure Yennefer and convince her to have lunch together. Then, they returned to the room to finalize their preparations before leaving.

Kakashi and Yennefer returned to Rinde that same day.

After establishing her firm position in the Brotherhood, Yennefer felt confident to return and take a closer look at the sorceress's secrets, she believed this was the way to find the Djin.

Upon arriving at Beau's residence, Yennefer quickly informed him that she had returned, then she went with Kakashi to her room.

They planned to review their strategy and prepare to return to that location, where they might face unexpected challenges, both of them were quite cautious.

On the last visit to the site, it became clear to Yennefer that her security measures were below what was necessary, her lack of preparation almost killed them.

Therefore, this time, she was extremely vigilant and made every preparation imaginable, she was prepared to face any known entity.

Yennefer didn't hesitate to invest, especially when it came to her and Kakashi's safety, she wouldn't risk their lives.

The fear of losing Kakashi was overwhelming for her, as she had already faced this situation in the illusory world.

She did not wish to relive that anguish and despair once again, as it was extremely painful to witness her death without being able to do anything to help.

Despite her having enough skills to rescue him, Kakashi refused to accept the help, he limited Yennefer's actions in this case, there was no room for debate, Kakashi did not want an endless existence.

For this reason, Yennefer knew that the best way to ensure that she wouldn't lose Kakashi again was to ask a Djin for her wishes.

This was the only effective solution Yennefer could think of.

Kakashi would not accept any attempt by her to extend his life beyond normal, she would have to act without her knowledge and in an irreversible manner, so that he cannot interfere.

The memory of the helplessness and anguish that invaded her upon witnessing Kakashi's death before her eyes still echoed in her mind.

In that universe, she honored Kakashi's wish to live a finite human life, but in this world things would be different.

Bearing in mind that she could not bear to be separated from Kakashi again, Yennefer decides to act selfishly, asking him to remain by her side forever.

With almost endless powers like those of the Sorceresses, Yennefer would never allow Kakashi to choose death once again.

Even though he was displeased and disappointed with her, Yennefer believed in the possibility of regaining his forgiveness over time.

She knew that she had a lot of time ahead of her, to make up for her selfish behavior, Yennefer believed that this was the ideal solution to resolve her situation.

Kakashi would never assist her if he discovered her true intentions, so Yennefer could not reveal the truth to him.

Yennefer did not agree with exposing Kakashi to danger due to her personal desires, however, it was inevitable for her.

The feelings she had for Kakashi were confusing, she couldn't define exactly what his importance was in her life.

However, Yennefer was convinced that she did not want to exist in a universe without Kakashi, she did not want to rescue that incessant search for affection.

In her room Yennefer presented Kakashi with his new accessories, his chain mail was now more robust and was impregnated with spells.

With the aim of maximizing its defensive effectiveness and minimizing damage, even though it was lighter than its previous water content, it was more resistant.

Yennefer ordered a larger outfit to match Kakashi's new height, which was also adorned with spells, his new outfit made his movements easier.

Her costume was ideal for someone who valued speed and dexterity, allowing Kakashi to move without limitations.

He also received improvements to his silver sword.

His new blade stood out for its superior resistance, exceptional sharpness and unusual ability to channel energy, far surpassing the usual characteristics of a conventional sword.

Furthermore, Kakashi received some more advanced bombs from Yennefer and also potions for emergency situations.

On the previous occasion, the tools did not prove to be as effective, since Yennefer did not imagine having to face a superior vampire, she was unprepared to face a being like him.

However, this time, she made Dimeritio bombs, silver bombs, and explosive bombs, even though they cost a lot to make.

She was determined to invest whatever it took to increase the likelihood that they would both weather the next hardship together.

Yennefer was busy with the final details of the organization, after the recent confrontation in the hideout, she demonstrated greater prudence.

Preparing herself to deal with the most unexpected obstacles, she carried with her talismans for defense, against spells, against plagues and against apparitions.

She organized herself to face any danger that arose, spending a considerable amount of money and making some agreements to obtain the necessary materials, however Yennefer was convinced of the importance of this.

Despite recognizing that she was acting excessively worried, Yennefer did not want to repeat the same situation from the past.

She didn't want Kakashi to put his life on the line again to protect her.

It took practically twelve months for all particles of elemental energy to be completely removed from her body, throughout this period Yennefer carried with her a feeling of guilt for her condition.

Kakashi was facing that situation only out of his own free will, recognizing her selfish desires, however, Yennefer was determined not to give up on her own desires, even if she felt remorse.

Especially after noticing that Philippa had won Kakashin's friendship, Yennefer felt uneasy about their bond, fearing that she would be replaced by Philippa.

Philippa had a reputation for being persuasive, several witches and members of high society had courted her, and several individuals had shown interest in her.

However, Philippa did not show genuine interest in these men, she merely manipulated them, Yennefer was aware of this and feared that she could manipulate Kakashi.

Yennefer realized that, unlike other men, Kakashi would not be dismissed by Philippa, as he was very useful to her, and could even become her lover.

She didn't exclude the possibility that Philippa was truly attracted to Kakashi, as he had a way of acting that could win over even the hardest of hearts.

He possessed something capable of transforming people, in a world full of darkness and selfish individuals, someone like him, kind and caring, was a rarity.

Kakashi would always put himself in danger to ensure the safety of the people he loved, this attitude was evident to everyone who interacted with him, such qualities could attract Philippa's attention.

There was a risk that Philippa would truly fall in love with Kakashi, and that was what Yennefer feared, a determined person like Philippa would not easily give up on winning his heart if she ended up developing feelings for him.

With all this knowledge in mind, Yennefer felt a growing urgency to locate the Djin, therefore, she could not give up, her determination needed to be even more incisive.

After organizing everything, Kakashi briefly left Yennefer to visit Júlia and her family.

Kakashi had a pleasant night meeting those people who were somehow close to him, Kakashi became fond of that family.

They exchanged ideas for a long time to inform themselves more comprehensively about the latest news.

With their conversation, Kakashi realized that Júlia was organizing herself to head to Oxenfurt, to fulfill her father's wishes, she would go to college.

Denis would be responsible for the costs of the studies, being inexplicably close to Ilona, which Kakashi considered peculiar.

It was also noticed by Kakashi that Karol and Kinga were closer, exchanging gestures of affection and affection, and everyone present seemed to naturally accept this closeness between them.

However, Kakashi chose not to meddle in other people's affairs, he knew he shouldn't meddle in their personal relationships.

He also discovered that Antoni had finally started his venture, which was gradually bringing prosperity to his family's financial situation, which was improving day by day.

Anna, his wife, collaborated in the ventures, but her main responsibilities involved looking after the children, helping to organize the house and preparing family meals.

Ilona became a kind of assistant to Denis and Karol, collaborating in whatever way possible while familiarizing herself with the craft.

He spent time with them before returning to dinner with Yennefer, as he knew she valued this moment together.

After dinner, the two returned to the room, Yennefer was very focused on tomorrow.

During dinner with Kakashi, Yennefer felt great apprehension about the next day. Even though she was ready, the idea of facing the unknown terrified her deeply.

However, Yennefer was not concerned about her own safety, her fear was focused on protecting Kakashi.

"Yen, don't worry, this time things will be different, I'm not the same Kakashi I was two years ago, I'm much stronger now."

Kakashi reassured her by stroking her hand, conveying security and comfort, then smiled at her affectionately.

"We are better prepared, this time there will be no setbacks, we will just do our job and leave without complications, I guarantee that this time I won't get hurt."

Yennefer couldn't understand why, however, Kakashi gave her a feeling of protection and security, which calmed her even in unfavorable situations.

By her side she felt that she could face any difficulty that appeared, nothing seemed impossible as long as they were together.

Contemplating the charming smile on his lips, her heart warmed and her body calmed, Yennefer returned the smile to Kakashi.

"Since you are so confident, let's establish an agreement, if you are injured, you will undertake to follow my orders for one year, however, if you remain unharmed, I will follow your wishes for the same period."

Her suggestion was made in a relaxed manner, Yennefer didn't mind Kakashi's submission, as she was sure that, whatever the request was, he would do everything he could to fulfill it.

And the reciprocity was evident, everything Kakashi wanted, Yennefer did her best to achieve it, demonstrating a balanced relationship in this aspect.

However, to any outside observer, it was clear that Yennefer was the one most involved in the relationship, even so Kakashi did not intend to manipulate her feelings for his own benefit.

"Yen, I accept your challenge, but I am determined to win, so get ready to spend a lot of money, because next year you will only wear vibrant tones."

Joining Kakashi's joke, Yennefer retorted.

"Since you want to play this way, I don't mind dressing you up like a young aristocrat for the next twelve months. You will most certainly be the conqueror of the hearts of the young women in the city."

"So I can't lose this bet, I don't even want to imagine what you would do to these girls when you got jealous."

Kakashi didn't believe that Yennefer would go so far as to harm young ladies who tried to get close to him, but he still decided to play with her.

However he was mistaken, if Yennefer felt her place was in danger, she would not hold back from pulling anyone away from Kakashi.

She would act like a cornered animal and use any means necessary to keep what was hers, she wouldn't risk losing Kakashi to anyone.

"No need to worry Kakashi, the worst that would happen would be that the frog population would mysteriously increase in a single day."

Their conversation lasted a little longer, before they fell asleep, and the next day they left for the cave, where they met.

Upon entering the lair, Kakashi and Yennefer experienced a feeling of strangeness, realizing that their abilities were not being limited, and the place was no longer so familiar.

The pressure on them was completely gone, which left them in a state of alert, fearful that they would be targets of a surprise attack at any moment.

Kakashi took advantage of the freedom of his chakra, no longer being restricted, to create two clones, sending them on a thorough inspection of the environment.

The clones didn't find any unusual signs, the area was free of traps and creatures, it was just an abandoned castle.

However, it was not a waste of his chakra, his investigations bore fruit, one of the clones discovered a place that seemed to be a hidden lair, where he found manuscripts and books scattered around the room.

After carrying out a simple analysis, looking for any potential danger that could be present, without finding anything, he disappeared and passed this information on to Kakashi and Yennefer.

Guiding Yennefer to the place found, Kakashi had shared information about what he had discovered, ensuring that there was no danger in the castle.

However, he revealed that his clones had found a hiding place that could pique her interest.

Once inside the hidden room, Yennefer soon discovered that that place was where the sorceress did her research and notes.

Yennefer thoroughly investigated the place in search of clues about the Djin, tirelessly searching for the container that contained him, however, without success in her search.

This way, Yennefer needed to focus on the notes and books that were in that room, she would have to examine them in search of any useful information.

With Kakashi's help, Yennefer managed to transfer all the books and notes to her room, using a portal. After this task, she dedicated weeks to studying the content of the books.

Even with the help of her magic, Yennefer took a while to decipher the information she obtained, she was unable to unravel all the mysteries in the sorceress's books and notes, much information was lost over time.

However, she prepared a brief summary of what she learned.

One day, a humble street vendor found a clay urn near the lake.

Intrigued by what was inside the bottle, he decided to open it. It was then that a Djin came out of her.

The man had no knowledge of magic, but he had already heard legends about the Djinns that circulated among people.

In order to verify the veracity of the rumors, he requested something he wanted, he wanted to be recognized and respected as a powerful leader.

Responding to the man's request, the Djin transformed him into a sorceress of great power and influence, but his desires didn't stop, the man wanted more.

He requested that an exclusive and safe castle be built for him, intended only for those worthy of inhabiting it, and the genius promptly granted his wish.

Finally, he would request immortality from the Genie, longing to exist eternally without the fear of death, however, the records ended at that point.

Yennefer was convinced that the Djin had transformed him into the superior vampire they had faced. The Djin fulfilled her wish, but in a way that made him deeply regret it.

Using his master as one of the guardians of his own palace, the Djin was a malevolent and ironic entity, distorting the desires of those who crossed his path.

Thus, aware of this and the narratives she had heard, Yennefer understood the importance of being cautious when expressing her desires, as the Djin could use them in a harmful way against her.

If she wasn't careful when choosing her words, it could result in complications for Kakashi or even turn him into a frightening creature.

If this situation came to pass, she would never forgive herself. Yennefer reflected on ways to prevent the Djin from distorting her desires, and discovered some guidelines that the Djins would be required to obey.

It was mentioned that Djins are not allowed to cause direct harm to those who request their wishes. However, as exemplified with the merchant incident, this norm has gaps, as for a Djin, the difference between a human and a vampire is not very significant.

Thus, he fulfilled his mentor's request, even though it meant losing his human essence, so she would need to be more detailed in her requests.

If he requested that he possess the vital energy of a sorceress, there were a few ways this situation could end badly for Kakashi, it was a very general request with several openings.

Yennefer believed that the best solution would be to unite Kakashi's lifespan with hers, so she could avoid direct harm to him.

Kakashi would share the same journey as her, as long as she was present, Kakashi would enjoy an extended life.

She could resolve the issue of his appearance, which would deteriorate over time, through potions, he would let him choose a certain age, to remain with that appearance throughout his life.

For her second wish, she would ask Dejin to unite their destinies and ensure that they would never be separated for long periods again, wishing that they would always have mutual knowledge of each other's status and that they could meet whenever they wished.

In the third wish, Yennefer longed for them to remain united eternally, without anything being able to separate them. She wished Kakashi would never leave her alone or stop caring about her, as that was her biggest fear.

Yennefer wouldn't be able to live without his warm and protective presence, she would do everything not to let him escape, Kakashi was the only person she would be willing to fight for to keep him by her side.

The mere idea of Kakashi staring at her with fury or indifference was enough to sadden Yennefer, she could not accept that something like that would happen.

After thoroughly completing all the research in the sorceress's notes and books, Yennefer identified some suitable places to begin the search for the Djinn.

She marked several points on the map indicating possible locations where she could find the Djin, and was about to begin her investigations with Kakashi's company.

However, before Yennefer managed to carry out the search with Kakashi, he completed the next steps of his projects.

They were interrupted, the two were visited at night, by unwanted visitors, Kakashi felt outside Beau's house, a powerful concentration of pure elemental energy, and smelled blood in the air.
