snow.
I remember snow and how cold it was.
The dark of the day.
The blood in my kimono.
How did this happen?
Someone held tightly.
"Don't worry anymore, you are safe with me," the person spoke so softly, comforting me.
I looked him in the eye. Even in the dark winter night, he's eyes still light up red and his hair highlighted the whole place.
I heard a person running towards us.
"Rengoku-sama! The demon is now dead," the person said.
"How is her family?" my savior asked.
"Dead"
—————————————
I suddenly woke up in a warm room. It was unfamiliar to me and I tried to sit up, but my abdomen hurt. I was covered in bandages.
"I see that you are awake"
I looked to my side to see the person who had saved me. I felt sudden sorrow and tears started to well up in my eyes as I remembered what had happened to me.
"I am sorry about your family. Ubuyashiki-sama is really close to the Tsugikuni family. My deepest condolences," the person bowed to me to respect.
I couldn't believe that I was now alone in this world. My elder brother, my mother, and my father are now gone. The thought of them not breathing anymore breaks my heart.
"Ah- my sincere apologies. I should have introduced myself. I am Shinjuro Rengoku, the Flame Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps," he said.
My eyes widened with hope.
"Demon slayer?" I asked.
"Your family might have not mentioned, but yes, demons are real and so are we," Shinjuro smiled.
"I want to become one. How do I become one?" I asked with determination.
"Stay in my household, the Rengoku Residence, and I will surely make you my Tsuguko (apprentice/successor)," The man smiled brightly.
Tears dropped in my eyes and I said, "I want to avenge my family. I want to understand why they do what they do. I want to know why they killed my family. I want to know," I sobbed hard and he placed his hand on my shoulder showing a fatherly affection.
"You will surely be alright," Shinjuro smiled warmly.
Someone then knocked on the door, revealing two boys that looks like Shinjuro-san. I knew they were his sons because of how similar they looked and the eldest one has his father's smile.
The eldest son is most likely around my age or older. I'm 13 right now and my older brother was 17 years old. Thinking about him...makes me cry again.
"Excuse us for our interruption. We just wanted to ask if our visitor is alright," the boy said.
"Don't worry kids, she's doing fine," their father reassured them.
"I'm Yuei Tsugikuni nice to meet you. Please take care of me," I introduced myself and bowed to them.
"I am Kyojuro Rengoku and this is my younger brother, Senjuro Rengoku," Kyojuro and Senjuro smiled warmly.
"Kyojuro and Senjuro, Yuei will stay with us. She will also train with you two," Shinjuro said and the brothers nodded.
i'll kill all the demons in this world
