Chapter 5

" Dammit! Dammit! Dammit! My body's crumbling and disappearing. I can't stop it!" I calmly shook the blood off the sword and put it away.

" Dammit... To think that the face of a Demon Hunter will be the last thing I'll ever see..." I looked over to him, pity in my eyes.

" What a sad presence. God, please... The next time this man is reborn, please make sure he doesn't turn into a demon." The demon has tears in his eyes as he faded away. Giyuu, Makomo... and everyone else who was killed... I won. You can rest easy now. I guess you're going home as promised. Even though you're just souls, you're going back to Mt. Sagiri... and to Mr. Urokodaki whom you love very much. If I'd ended up dead, my soul would've returned there, too.

" Grr!"

" There's something I want to ask you. How do I turn someone who's become a demon back into a human? "

" Grah!" He rushed towards me and I sliced his neck.

" Please tell me... how I can turn Tanjirou..."

" Gahhh!"

" ...back into a human!" I sliced their heads of and sighed. I ran off and soon I saw Wisteria ahead.

"Wisteria? Hah... I made it." I walked out back into the clearing, away from the forest full of demons. In the morning I noticed four other people there. There was a boy in blackish grey, looking angry for some reason. There was another girl in pink, looking calm, and a boy in yellow, looking, well, blank. Right next to him, almost in a protective stance was a boy in black, having a tired look on his face. They seemed to be wearing the same type of haori so they might be siblings, although they look nothing like it. I don't see that guy here, either. It's all because I blacked out at that moment. I couldn't save him.

" I can't believe so many people died..." I turned to see that the blond boy had said it to the black haired one next to him.

" Welcome back." I turned to see both the girls standing there.

" Congratulations."

" We're glad to see that you're safe."

"So? What am I supposed to do now? Where's my sword?" The one with the scar asked rudely.

" First, we shall issue you all uniforms."

" We will take your measurements, after which your rank will be engraved."

" There are ten ranks in all."

" Kinoe."

" Kinoto."

" Hinoe."

" Hinoto."

" Tsuchinoe."

" Tsuchinoto."

" Kanoe."

" Kanoto."

" Mizunoe."

" Mizunoto."

" Currently, you are at the lowest rank, Mizunoto."

" And our swords?" Can this guy not wait?

" Today, we will let you choose the ore for your swords, but the swords will take ten to fifteen days to complete."

" Are you kidding me?"

" But first..." One of the girls clapped her hands twice and crows came flying in. One came to me.

" Ack!"

" We will now assign each of you your own Kasugai Crow."

" Kasugai Crow?" I asked, curiously.
