Five years, you spent five years honing your skills after KanaeKocho noticed your hidden abilities just from passing one another in the streets... You were a young teenager only about fifteen to be married off in hopes of bandits sparring your family, but Kanae did not back down in talking you with her when she saw the great fear in your eyes... Smiling to yourself you push the memory of your past to the back of your mind, this was by no means a time to be reminiscing... After training with Kanae and her people, you were sent out to deal with the demons along your journey. You were told to not return until you had defeated fifty or more high level demons, Kanae told you to do your best and you were currently in pursuit of your last demon in accordance with your Kasugai Crow, Matsuda. Your crow wore a fresh hydrangea floral necklace you made it each and every other day, this crow was a wonderful and cute companion.
You effortlessly floated through the air across tree branches as you pursued the demon, one who devoured over half of a small village out in the country. There was not much information for the situation at hand, but it mattered not as Lady Kanae always said that To always win no matter what... You wanted this demon to suffer for it's sins and for it to be a show of a lifetime to die a glorious death, to avenge the deaths of the poor souls who were taken without reason...
The beast you were required to defeat was a large demon, many who were able to see the creature did not return alive or did not catch a good glimpse. Within the next few moments an awful scent permeated through the air, the smell of death... Disgusting. Even someone like you who did not possess the best sense of smell could clearly smell the gross odor of death lingering about.
Quickly you picked up your pace, like a breeze you danced across the tree tops leaving a trail of a light floral scent then you jumped up high within the air above the tree tops to see the village still in despair... You pressed on and made your way into the village, there were fires, blood, and death all around. You grimaced at the sight, but you steeled your heart and sharpened your mind. You followed the disgusting scent of death, but you were soon met with a most disturbing sight... The demon's sharp teeth ripped apart limb by limb of the humans it devoured, live or dead it didn't care... You could see it had a large scorpion like tail and pincers, your heart slowed as you calmed your breathing. Win, no matter what.
"I will defeat you demon. Fourth Form: Crimson Hanogoromo..." You whispered calmly, a light purple haze with blue Hyacinth petals followed your movements as you twisted and curved your body to elegantly slice the arms off of the demon. You turned your head to the side in that moment to find two children shuddering in fear not far from the demon, you kick the demon with both feet firmly away as hard as our could before you dashed for the children. You yank them up and into your arms, running as fast as you could before you found a far enough position for the kids to run and hide. After assuring their safety, you rush back to the demon only to find that it has already regenerated it's missing limbs...
