A Sky Full Of Stars [COMPLETE]

Chapter 4

What? Why did this demon look so much like bsf/n? No, it couldn't be.

A child was being held by the head, the demon was going to kill her!

"Hey! What do you think you're doing?" you yelled, the demon redirected her attention to you, dropping the child in the process. She snarled her teeth, "How dare a human like you interrupt my meal."

As you stared into her eyes you managed to notice the writing 'Lower rank 4'.

Should be easy enough, one quick swipe and the demon will be gone. Although, you were hesitant about unsheathing your sword hidden under your kimono, not wanting to hurt your previous best friend.

"Now you're really getting on my nerves!" the demoness said before lunging toward you. With your quick reflexes, you were able to swiftly dodge the efforted attack. "Do you not remember me at all bsf/n?" you asked, getting impatient with the lower ranking demon. Her eyes widened, the demon was caught off guard, "What? N..no. Nevermind, I'm going to kill you!" the demon screeched, her voice ringing in your ears.

She had said those words when you were younger, you must've stolen her toy of some sort. Good memories.

You slowed your heart rate. Your breathing was under control within a few seconds.

"Fourth form: Stellar Swipe"

"What the-" suddenly, the demon was hit with an incredibly warm sensation. Everything slowed down. Was this what death consisted of? Why had she been so scared of something so beautiful? It didn't hurt, it felt like a weight was lifted off her shoulders. 'It's warm, I'm okay, I've forgotten the dreadful feeling of fear, and I remember my human life once again. After my transformation, I had completely lost all memories. But now, I can rest easy, I'm so proud of y/n for making it this far.'

As the demon fell to the ground, you walked a bit closer, watching as she started withering away into ash. You knelt down, resting her head into your lap. Her eyes closed, a faint smile graced her lips. "Y/n, I remember now. Thank you for releasing me. I feel warm and safe, thank you." she said, as you felt the weight on your lap lighten, you saw how the last of her faded away..

"Of course bsf/n, rest well." you said, as you stood up, a single tear from your eye rolled down your pale cheek. You lifted your sword and placed it into its holder. You had purposely made her death painless, yes she was a demon, but you were not going to let her suffer any further. As you started to walk home, you hadn't stayed longer to notice the pale man and his glowing eyes walk out of the darkness. He stepped to the ashes of the former Lower rank 4. He only glared at the ashes.

'Pathetic'

He was unimpressed at how quickly a potentially stronger demon was killed by someone in a kimono. Was the girl possibly a Hashira? He wanted to know, and so from the shadows he followed her. No ordinary Hashira would be able to kill a Lower Moon without taking a few hits. There was something about this girl that he wanted to know, something that made him crave killing her instantly, but yet he wanted to see more of her strength.
