❝We can do this, right Zenitsu❞
✿✾❁❀"Greetings, everyone." The two twins with empty, insensitive eyes said in unison as Lakira glanced around seeing all the contestants.
A scared blonde that she's known for years and Tanjiro who was the boy she walked with.
The others looked as if they've never seen a real demon before but Lakira couldn't help but be curious about their breathing style and blade skills.
She had high standards due to her mother's strict training but, she also was from a village that revolved around the strongest Demon slayer so, what did she expect?
"Mount Fujikasane holds demons that demon slayers have taken alive and trapped here." the other twin explained,
"Demons hate wisteria flowers, which blooms here out of season. They cover the mountain from its foot to halfway up the slope." Lakira's eyes bounced back and forth as the two finished and started each other's lines,
"However, from that point on, the wisteria does not bloom. So the demons run free. you must survive there for seven days." Lakira nodded and some yelped at staying in a demon-filled area for that long.
But the girl came up with a decent plan, all she'd need to do was head east since the sun is the brightest there. But Zenitsu's panicked look shot through her head.
Lakira sighed, glancing to the side. her friend seemed as if he was going to pass out while Tanjiro's brows were borrowed.
For some reason, she hoped he'd live and they would be good teammates. But then again she hoped the same for Zenitsu.
"If you do, then you will have passed the Final Selection."
"Now Go."
Lakira rushed to Zenitsu and smirked, "wanna team up, Zenitsu?" he looked at his friend with teary eyes that only saw death,
"I-I'll just hold you down..." Lakira scrunched her face, "Don't look at me like that Lakira!" He yelled grabbing onto her as they walked, "I'm tell-" Lakira shoved him off of her mid-sentence as a purple-eyed demon with horns jumped from the trees.
She jumped back as the demon chucked as the smell of blood oozes from her.
Zenitsu shivered at the sounds of screaming and hunger throughout the woods, but Lakira, was calm. Sure there was a hint of anger and worry but he knew with her, his life would be safe from any man-eating-creates. She was his light within this gloaming forest.
The demon jumped at Zenitsu, who pushed himself onto a tree, "Lakira help me!" He screeched.
Lakira draws her sword and slashes swiftly in a single motion from the side of the demon. As she swung numerous chaotic crescent blades originate from the slash slicing chunks of the demon's head, arm, and leg.
Zenitsu looked to Lakira who flicked her blade from all the blood and looked towards the blond, "Let's go." He stood up grabbing onto her haori trembling with every step that they took, "Zenitsu," Lakira's eyes turned to his as he cringed at three demons running straight towards them.
Making an 'x' gesture Zenitsu went on to say, "I'm not cut out to be a demon slayer!" his hair went white as the demons slobbered from the mouth, "Ahh!" He screamed out before slumping hard on the ground, dust rose from under him.
"Zenitsu?" Lakira let out while all the demons laughed at his misfortune making she scowled.
The three demons circled them, arguing with each other.
Zenuitsu's breathing started to change as Lakira had a defensive stance. soon-to-ben to be demon slayers gripped their swords and realized an attack. lighting and sharp slices of the moons made the demon's limp.
