____________________________________________

It was mid-afternoon when Y/n was on her break from training. She was by the water relaxing in the shade when she received a message from her crow about a demon. "Yes! Finally some action time." I sprung to my feet and headed over to Sakonji's hut to inform him of my departure. "Try to refrain from overexerting yourself. Have you completed your training?" Sakonji handed me some water as I shook my head no. "Not exactly, but I do plan to!" I give him a reassuring smile taking the water and gulping it down quickly. "See you soon!" I follow my crow to an abandoned house in the woods. It was far away from any civilization- took me half a day to get there.

Y/n saw the front door was torn down with splatters of blood on it. She peered inside the living room where there were signs of a struggle with the furniture broken. Miscellaneous objects are scattered everywhere. I stepped inside the house taking a look around. I was tempted to call out when I heard a creak above me. I shot my head in the direction of the noise to see a shadow move further into the house. Y/n chases after the shadowy figure when something drops down on her from the ceiling. I jump to the side and a blue clouded mist spreads across the ceiling. A demon pokes her head out saying "peekaboo" in a cheery voice. A porcelain-skinned lady with yellow and blue markings all over her body drops in front of me.

"I spy with my little eye a nosy little girl!" The demon stretched her arm towards me, splitting it into two more smashing the foundation and ceiling. I dodge all her hands and jump, slicing all three as blood splatters in every direction. "What a fast little thing you are!~" the lady disappeared into the mist on the ceiling. "Damn coward, come out of hiding!" I taunt her when a hand shoots out to grab me and I slice it before it could reach me. Another came from the far left of the room aiming for my left side. Y/n slides down quickly spinning up to cut it when five more come out of the mist close to grabbing her.

I took in a deep breath, "Third Form: Sunder Speed." Time slowed for a brief moment and Y/n in one swift motion carved up all the stretched-out arms. "Stop moving you little worm!" The lady's voice changed from playful to menacing as she revealed her form to me. I take a step forward, "I spy with my little eye a stupid demon." Y/n taunts witnessing the lady break the foundation underneath her feet hiding once again in the mist. I drop into the hallway as I heard muffled crying coming from inside the room. I rush toward the cries inside a bedroom to see three children with horrific facial expressions drifting in the cloudy mist.

'That mist must put them in shock.’ Y/n thought to herself as the door to the room opened. “Do you like them? I found them all on my own. My new dolls!” The demon laughs pulling one of them down to her and caressing a child’s face. “You’re sick…sick!” I shout at her as she places the child back in the mist attached to the ceiling. The lady rushes out of the room laughing excepting Y/n to chase her. Y/n uses her fifth form: Robust Gamble to paralyze the demon in her escape. “Sorry but you’re fun is over.” I finish her off slicing her head clean off watching it bounce on the floor. “No, what have you done! You killed my sister!” I tilt my head in confusion, “Sister?” I walk over to the disintegrating head and a fist comes flying toward me from the headless body still moving around. I block her attack panicked, ‘I sliced her head clean off! How is she still alive?” The body grows a part of its jaw back showing clenched teeth.

“You slaughtered my sister, you worthless scum!” The voice was deep with a malicious aura. “What the hell are you?” Y/n kicked the body away from her as it finished growing the rest of its head. “I’m Amaya…you’ll pay for killing my sister!” Amaya rushes toward me throwing a punch toward me- I dodge and she follows up with a high kick hitting my jaw. I fall rolling backward to stand holding my jaw when she stretches her arm to snatch my leg flicking me to the side. Y/n flies through the window and rolling on the ground. ‘She’s fast, I’ll have to be faster.’ I thought springing back up to my feet using Sunder speed to appear next to Amya. She sweeps me off my floor, but I caught myself with my hands and landed on my feet in a crouched position. “First form: Swix edge,” Y/n runs her hand along the blade in front of her.

I'm starting to get agitated now. If this keeps up I could start losing control. The blade conjures up ashes around Y/n and she swings her blade easily for Amaya to block. In doing so the blade splits the demon's arm from between her fingers to her shoulder. Amaya winced, unable to heal properly- she used her other arm to punch me in my side that was healing. I gasp feeling a disruption in my concentrated breathing, staggering backward seeing a sinister smile plastered on her face. Amaya flings me back sending mist flooding toward me. Y/n becomes engulfed with the blue mist putting her body into shock as she is knocked unconscious. Amaya took a step inside the mist as it split open as she walked deeper inside.

Amaya felt her cells deteriorate in her arm causing the surface of her skin to shrivel, turning black. She screams in agony holding her arm watching the same thing happen to her other arm in sync. "What have you done to me?!?!" The demon's words were cut short as she was coughing up blood mixed with an inky tar substance. Amaya shuddered from the sight of a creature in the mist. Its angelic hue mixed with a thirst for vengeance overwhelmed her. The mist lifts to the ceiling revealing Y/n walking out from the mist inhaling it into her mass. She walks closer to Amaya slowly with malicious intent. Y/n slid her foot out to a wide stance holding her sword in front of her neck. "Corrupt reign," in a split second the room was swallowed in darkness with Amaya's horrified screams. Amaya's body was broken into pieces as it melted away being absorbed into Y/n mass. She wore a horrific expression on her face similar to her victims. The mist clears and Y/n returns to her senses going to the bedroom to assist the children who were on the floor unconscious. "I'm sorry I took so long."
