Chapter 8: An End and A Start

I'm so sorry I have disappeared for the past few weeks, and I honestly have no excuse. I guess I got writer's block and had a hard time forcing myself to continue. 
Anyway as a sorry and ...because I had an idea. I'm thinking of Amira going to a different world aka anime . Either when she was in the demon slayer world or from her actual world. Comment below what you feel about this idea and I'll try to do something as an apology.

As Amira was led to her boulder, she held her katana tightly letting out a soft huff as she tries to calm herself  with her eyes closing.
Makomo paused for a moment before turning to look at her with a soft smile on her face, she gently grabs her sleeve and pulls her forward as they approached the boulder which had a large cracks running down the front from where Amira had been hitting.
Amira blinked a few times as she slowly looked down at her with a small frown appearing as a raspy breath left her.
The smaller female shook her head " It's fine Amira...you are worried aren't you ?" With the months of training they've spent together, they've started to understand her small quirks and sounds she makes. 
You can say they speak Amira.
Amira let out a soft sigh lowering her head a bit before looking at the boulder . Her calloused hand grasping the handle of her katana .
Makomo gently pats her arm before walking ahead to stand in front of of boulder as she took out her own katana "  Do your best Amira...perhaps today will be the day " her eyes closed as she smiled before shifting into her stance.

Amira made a low hum before nodding slowly as she takes a stance, her shoulders slowly unwind from their tensed state as she prepared herself .
Makomo moved her mask to cover her face before pushing herself forward as she flew at her with her katana swinging to strike the taller female.
Amira was prepared as she raised her own to parry her attack then follow it with a quick strike to her side, only for it to be avoided. 
Amira took in a deep breath as she decided to attack faster as both swung their katanas at the same time only for Amira to be quicker as she struck through the mask making it crack in half revealing two dark blue eyes glimmering with pride and a soft smile that showed a deep sorrow .
Amira stared at her in shock and confusion as she moved to apologise for breaking her mask only to pause in place when she started to speak.
"I'm proud of you, Amira....you have come so far ...I know you will do great things in the future, do not worry about me and Sabito ..alright ?" The girl smiled as she disappeared in her spot revealing the boulder that had been sliced in half as it had multiple cracks covering the surface.
Amira stood there quietly as she stared at it only for a smile to appear under her mask as she straightened up, feeling her body become warm with her eyes closing as she felt tears flow down her face as she let out a soft gasp of breath. It finally settled within her mind that she did it...she finally did it after so many months though under all that pride, was worry. 
She looked around gently rubbing her eyes as she quietly sniffles " ...koko......koko ?" She mumbled a few times as she walked off to search for the girl, resembling a lost child looking for their friend or parent.
She made her way back to where Tanjiro was supposed to be with Sabito only to see him standing in front of his boulder which had a cleaner cut compared to hers.
She let out a light breath which gained his attention making him turn to face her as he quickly jogs over .
"Amira I did it ...we can become slayers and help Nezuko now" he smiles up at her with his face covered with some dirt but the smile seemed to brighten everything around them .
This caused her to forget about the missing girl as she moves to gently clean his face, nodding a little .
He remained still already used to her constant cleaning as he continues to smile with his eyes closing a bit feeling quite happy now that he was a step closer to saving his sister. 
"Amira...did you cut your boulder as well ?" He looked at her curiously as she finally removes her hands from his face, she quietly nods making a low hum as a response. This caused his smile to grow bigger as he then wraps his arms around her, she carefully did the same her eyes closed while she lightly combs his hair knowing he was very happy at the moment.
Her ear twitches as she looks up glancing off to the side just in time to see Urokodaki walking over to them slowly. " Uro ?.."
" I had no intention of sending you both to Final Selection " he faces the boulder quietly as he had already checked Amira's own first before coming here .
Her eyes widen in surprise as Tanjiro moved back to face him now with the same expression she had.
"I didn't want to see another child die...I was sure you wouldn't be able to slice your boulders, but ...Well done " he turned to look at them placing his hands gently on their heads.
Amira bows her head as she looked down with shock filling her as she remained quiet as he continued.
" Tanjiro...Amira, you're both remarkable children " his voice had a certain tenderness as he spoke to them. He gently pulls them both into a warm hug.
Amira sniffles softly as her body leans down to accept the hug, her eyes closed as tears drip down her cheek, soaking her bandages as the man pats their back gently.
"...make sure you both come back alive from Final Selection...your sister and I would be waiting for you two to come back safely." He slowly moved back looking down at Tanjiro before turning his head to look at Amira.

The two watched the food cook in front of them, quite surprised by the feast being prepared.
Amira felt her stomach growl softly at the sight as she felt herself salivate, imagining how good it must taste.
Tanjiro looked at the older man curiously "..there's so much to eat, whats the occasion." 
Amira quickly nodded as she was also curious about the amount of food that was being prepared.
Urokodaki reached to take bowl and filled it with the contents of the pot before handing it over to her " You've completed your training, so we're celebrating."
She eagerly takes the bowl as she lightly stirs the hotpot with her chopsticks. Her mind completely concentrated on the scent of the meal as she carefully starts eating, knowing she had to be careful not to burn her mouth...again.
Tanjiro was also handed a bowl as he smiled, eating with his eyes lighting up from the taste. 
Both didn't notice as their mentor watched them quietly in deep thought as he took the bowl and refilled it once either of them were done.

Amira was behind Tanjiro holding a pair of clippers as she set to work with cutting his hair shorter, after the meal she was in a very good mood, enjoying the warmth she was feeling as she hummed carefully cutting away most of the hair at the bottom and some that could move into his face by accident.
They both paused hearing the sound of their mentor as he called their names.
"Did you enjoy the hotpot?" He was gently shifting a thick light blue fabric with clouds covering it .
"Yes! I havent had such a feast in so long, and I think Amira agrees with that " Tanjiro chuckles softly smiling at the taller girl who excitedly nods in agreement .
"A growing child with an appetite like you both, should get stronger the more they eats ,as well as grow bigger in size....same applies for demons ..remember that" his head tilted to the side " The more humans a demon has eaten ,the more powerful they would be ."
"So they eat a lot to get stronger ?" The boy questioned as his head turned a bit making Amira pause in her cutting as she didn't want to give him a bad haircut .
"Yes ...there are demons who grow stronger, transform themselves and even gain strange powers ." The older male slowly stood up and took out a pair of masks ." When your sense of smell becomes keener, you'll be able to tell how many a demon has eaten" he walked over to them and held out the masks .

Amira places down the clippers slowly as she took the one that was pointed in her directions, her eyes widening at the craftsmanship, it was a fox mask with light purple flowers covering the lower side which was the direction of where her injured cheek was. The eyes looked normal as one was purple and the other green. What made them unique was the extra pupils which matched the number of irises in her eyes.

Tanjiro looked down at his own mask which had red pupils and a red sun on the side in the spot where his mark was." What's this?"
Amira nodded tilting her head slowly to look at him as a frown appears, now remembering Makomo and Sabito, how they had a version of these masks.
"It's called a warding mask...I've charged them with a spell to protect you both from harm. "

They both went quiet now, a low whistling came from Amira in her version of a sigh as she gently held it close, she stood up and hugged the older man close to her as she closed her eyes.

He seemed surprised only to return the hug as he remained there before shaking his head ." You both have to rest..it's nearly time for you two to leave so ...rest well " he gently pats her back.

Amira nods slowly as Tanjiro got up with a wide smile "Thank you for everything Urokodaki-sensei ." He bows before leaving the room with the girl in tow barely missing the tears that dripped down from the male's chin.
