Fire range across the village, screams, smoke and and destroyed houses. All this was blocked out as a woman with white hair laid on the ground. The woman wore a black military uniform with black shading, she had a white haori that went from from white at the top and faded to light purple at the bottom
She had hair that came to her back, as scratches and blood were across hee body, she forcefully held her katana, a nichirin blade
It was a white blade, as the guard was circular with four indents, the outer guard was dark blue with the inside white, the handle was braided with white ropes as it showed black diamonds
The woman woke up as she looked around to see the chaos, her eyes opened wide, as tears came to her eyes
" I was a fool "
She began to get noises that ran across her mind as she gripped her katana with force
" I should've reported to the Hashira "
Her hand began to bleed as her grip became to strong
" I should've called for help "
A annoying ring was heared as she looked in front of her to see a figure in a kimono with red flowers and black roost, tendrils kept leaving their body as they rain chaos on the village
" How could I, fight an Upper Moon "
Her mind comes back to her as she heares a child crying, she looks in front of her to see a boy in a grey haori and sandles, his clothes where scratches and tattered
The figure with tendrils hears the cries as it turns to face the boy, it raises one tendril and readies it, as the woman got on her feet and moved
" Kage no Kokyū, Shichi no Kata: Lowering Dusk "
Woman brings her katana down as a dark flame like elements traces behind it and slames the tendril down, as she grab the child and takes it
" You won't run Demon Slayer "
The figure then showed its two other tendrils amd fired them towards the woman
" Kage no Kokyū, Shi no Kata: Black Out "
She stabs the ground with her katana as a sphere of shadows cover her body and the tendrils move towards her. The sphere envelopes her as the tendrils one scratches her, causing her to get to her knees
" Do me a favor little one, please keep quiet
The boy keeps his hands on his mouth as she gets up and takes off running, the sphere disappears as the figure brings its tendril towards its self as it sees the woman's blood, the figure likes it as it smiles
" I will find you, and I will kill you woman "
In the forest we see the woman running as she began to lose her breath, as the figure actually her by her torso hitting an important organ
She slowed down, as she got on her knees and feel, she stood up and placed the boy on his feet. She then placed her hand on his cheek
" Run from here, go south, there will be another village there. They'll take care if you, tell them Mikata sent you- "
The woman stopped talking as she feel unconscious, the boy attempted to run, but stopped as he grabbed the woman by the arm and began to pull her
Not much progress was made, so the boy placed the woman on his back and began to move, as he moved south he heared the sound of feet tapping the ground
The boy attempted to pick his pace, but the woman was too heavy for him so he, was going at a slow speed, soon it felt like hours passed as it was as dark as night
The boy passed a tree as a figure with grey skin stood there, he wore a green shirt with brown pants, the demon and black hair that messy and spiky
" You shouldn't be out here kid "
The figure says as he makes his presence apparent
" Demons like me, do our hunting at the night "
The demon says as the boy looked at it with fear
" You're like the man who attacked my village "
The boy said
" Oh, really, I'm sorry for your lose "
The demon kicks the kid away as the boy drops the woman, the demon looks at Mikata and gets ready to eat her, he rips off her top shirt as he opens his mouth, as a rock comes flying and hits the demon against the head
The demon looks at the direction the rock was sent and sees the boy from before, as he had blood coming down his head
" Oh you want to fight huh? "
The demon drops Mikata and dashes to the kid who manages to dodge in time, as the demon was moving slow to tease the boy
The demon turned around to slash the boy as he is sent to the woman, the boy stood over the woman and covered her body
" Why are you so intent on saving this Demon Slayer, is she your mommy. You both have the same white hair "
Said the demon as it likes its fingers
" She saved my life "
The boy said with confidence
" I see, well you'll both meet in heaven "
The demon yells as it moves faster and dashes to the boy as he doesn't see it coming
" Suna no Kokyū, Ichi no Kata: Dust Row "
Is heared as a man in the same uniform as the woman before, but shaded yellow, he had a brown haori with small white spots at the bottom. He's hair was brown as it faded to yellow, he slicks it back, but it still spikey and messy as one strand of hair is left undone
He's katana was grew, well it wasn't a katana, more of a two waited balls that were edged to form sharp blades and are connected to a chain, the balls were black as the edged sharp blades were grey and the chain was amber
The figure walked past the demon, as a large hole appeared in the demons head as it leans back and fades to dust
The man looks back to boy and the woman know as Mikata, he walks to grab Mikata's hand, but the boy grabs his
" What are you going to do to her "
The boy asks
" I'm taking you two to the nearest village, you both are losing blood and fast "
He grabs both of them, he places Mikata over his shoulder and places the boy on his other as he dashes with great speed to the nearest village
