"Why would I have any shame? I'm just doing what I have to do in order to survive, eating humans so, of course, I have no shame, now let's get this over with" the demon said giving you a grin.

Blood Demon Technique: Venomous splash

The demon put her hand into her mouth, she took her hand out of her mouth it was covered in her saliva, she flicked her hand at you. A ton of droplets of her saliva flung towards you, without hesitation you jumped out of the way "Wow you're fast! I'll for sure keep your skull as a trophy!" the demon said with a wide smile.

Blood Demon Technique: Piercing scales

Second Petal: Swirling Blue

You spun your body in the air, deflecting the demons attack and slicing her in the process, the scales flew all over the room, both your attack and the demons attack caused the room to collapse. You ran over to the girl and the unconscious man and hovered over them; you used your back to catch the falling roof "Go get out of here!" You yelled, tossing the chunks of the roof of your back.

The girl stared at you with fear-filled eyes "Never turn your back on an opponent!!" the demon yelled, swinging her arm at you, multiple scales were flung at you, you grabbed the girl, threw her over your shoulder and you grabbed the unconscious man, holding him at your side as you leapt away.

You found a back lane and placed them down "Get help for him and make sure no one comes near the demon!" you yelled as you ran off. When you arrived back at the destroyed home, the demon was gone, and the only evidence left by the demon was a trail of slime and skin shedding's leading into the forest.

"She is in the forest! She's attempting to escape, stop her!!" your crow yelled as he flew out of the forest "Got it" You yelled as you run into the forest, following the trail of shedding and slime. You came across a den, the slime and trail of skin stopped at the entrance of a den "Oh, come on" you groaned, crawling into the demon and to your surprise it was large inside.

You looked around in the hole, to see no sign of the demon, your attention was drawn to the pile of human skulls laid in the corner of the hole, the den was covered in slime, shredded skin and the blood, shredded demon slayer corps uniforms and leftover flesh of humans "disgusting" you breathed out as you crawled out of the demon.

"Welcoming yourself in other peoples home is rude, you know" A voice snickered and from the shadows of the forest various scales flung at you, you bent your body back, avoiding the scales.

"Your quite flexible," the demon said as she slithered out of the shadows, she stared at you with a grin, a grin that boiled your blood.

First Petal: Nine-layered Slash

You leapt at the demon, swinging your katana at her, slashing her nine times "That wasn't very nice of you" the demon said with a frown.

Blood Demon Technique: One Hundred Venomous

Scales Second Petal: Swirling Blue

The demon flung her scales at you, and you flipped your body through the air, deflecting her scales, a pain-filled groan left your mouth as your cheek was grazed by one of her scales "Haha, these scales are covered in my saliva!" the demon laughed as she threw more scales at you, you continued to swing your blade around, deflecting her attacks. "Say, let's kill you now, I'm feeling quite peckish" the demon said with a grin.

Blood Demon Technique: Venomous Net

The demons saliva let her mouth, forming a net around you "Every passing second the net will shrink and soon enough it'll burn you to death, I'll be back I have some human to eat" the demon laughed as she slithered away.

Second Petal: Swirling Blue

You swung your katana at the net made out of venom and cut through it, you ran attempting to catch the demon, you were burned by the falling net. You spotted the demon; she was still in the forest making her way to the village.

Seventh Petal: Striking Petal

You leapt at the demon, bringing your blade through her neck.

The demon's eyes went wide as her head fell to the ground "What! How did you escape my net, no one has done it before! This isn't fair, I refuse to die here!!" the demon screamed "You pathetic piece of shit, how dare you! I'll kill you... No, no my head... It's fading!!" the demon scowled as her body along with her head turned to ash.

"Y/n-sama are you alright!?" A kakushi yelled as he ran to you "I'm alright, how about the villagers?" You said, glancing at the kakushi "Are you sure, your cheek and the rest of your body has cuts and they look like they're melting, please let me patch you up" the kakushi said. "I'll heal don't waste your bandages on me, tend to the villagers," You said "Right, my bad I forgot, I'll bring aid to the villagers.

Both you and the kakushi rushed back towards the village "There both still alive, the female is missing her legs and the male is missing his legs and his head is crushed in!!" a kakushi yelled, you watched as the kakushi pulled the limp bodies of the women and the boy that got his head crushed "We can't do anything about this! They'll die any second we don't have the equipment to tend to these types of wounds!" Another kakushi yelled.

"Aniki! Mom!!" the little girl from earlier cried out as she tried to run to her family members "My wife, my son!" a man yelled, the man that was unconscious earlier.

The two tried to get to their family member but were held back by members of the kakushi, the feeling of guilt swelled inside of you, if only you had gotten there earlier and you remembered, the ability of the keeper, the keepers ability to heal someone besides themselves.

"Wait, stop what your doing! I can help them!!" you yelled as you ran over to the mangled bodies of the mother and son "I can... I can heal them" You yelled as you knelt down at their limp bodies 'I've never done this before' You thought nervously as you placed your hand on the boy's crushed skull and the other hand on the mother's skull.

'Concentrate, I will heal them' You thought as you took a deep breath and in a matter of seconds your body started to become weak, you couldn't help but slouch your back.

Silent groans left your mouth as the feeling of tiredness took over your body, gasped filled your ears and when you opened your eyes their bodies were restored, no cuts or scars were left on their body, the cries of the father and daughter got louder and the kakushi let them go.

The duo immediately ran to their family member and took them into their embrace, the father cradled his wife, son and daughter, they sobbed on their bodies "How did you do that... Thank you so much" the father cried out "You saved mommy and Aniki!!" the little girl cried out.

"It was no... problem" You mumbled out as your eyes become droopy 'wow, I'm really tired' you thought "I'm gonna take a nap" You mumbled out as you fell over, falling asleep.

"Oyakata-sama, the girl has eliminated her first official demon and has healed two villagers in the process," Himejima said as he walked towards Oyakata-sama, sitting down on his legs, to him. "Is that so? Were there any casualties?" Oyakata-sama asked as he petted his crow.

"She fell unconscious after healing the civilians and the victims home were destroyed during the battle, I shall pray for the family that lost their beloved home," Himejima said as he began to cry. "Healing people takes a toll on her, that is important information" Oyakata-same replied.

"Oyakata-sama if you don't mind me asking, but why were you so persistent with her joining the demon slayer corps, wouldn't it be dangerous for her," Himejima asked "You could say it was my intuition, I believe she will play a key role in ending the battle against demons" Oyakata-sama replied.
