KNY Fanfiction - The Last Breath of Bravery

Fanged Demon

The next morning, Rasshu wakes up expecting the sun rays to fill her room but instead it's filled with a calming soft gray light... She gets up to look out her window as all she can see is a blanket of fog in her area. Stretching her arms outwards, she gets ready to seize the day but before she gets ready, she takes out the katana under the floorboards to polish it. After shining the katana, she starts cleaning up the house, she swiftly wipes up the muddy tracks she accidentally brought in from last night's "well" exploration, thinking to herself about the lion book that she scavenged... That 4th form lingers in her head as she thinks about what power it actually holds but she shakes her head as she resumes her chores, settling on trying it out AFTER she's done. Going outside, she's smothered by the soothing light fog that persists outside, however, it's a bit too overbearing as she can barely see in front of herself... how is she going to do any of her chores out here if she can't even see her own hands...

Heading back inside she slumps onto the living room floor, waiting for the fog to lift but hours pass and there's no sign of change... She waits for a few minutes until she gets fed up with her situation in general. Determined to not have her work pile up, she ventures out into the fog with her tool sack by her side as she walks in the direction of the wheat farm. Walking straight for a few moments, she starts to worry just a tad bit as felt like she should've come up to the fields by this time, did she take a wrong turn? did she misjudge the actual direction? she shakes off her worries as she keeps on but the longer she walks the more her confidence in her choice falters, as she starts to slow down... Stopping in her tracks, she turns back around towards her house but as she walks back she starts to notice that she should've arrived at her house by now? Rasshu starts to panic slightly as she aimlessly walks, trying to find any familiar landmark but all she has is the dirt below...The night starts to fall as she worries more and more. Stressed out, Rasshu walks lost in the fog until her eyes start to focus on some kind of structure! She smiles happily as she finally found something that's not just fog!!! but when she closes in, she starts to realize what it is... the well... but something different... the boards that sealed this well are all broken off and tossed to the side? Her body tenses up as she slowly takes out a small hatchet from her tool bag, making her way to the well to peer inside but when she reaches the well there's nothing to be seen...

Scared and rattled, Rasshu starts to shudder at how eerily similar her dream was to this but soon her body starts to warm up, and a slight headache dawns on her! Her pupils shrink as she grips her hatchet tight then she turns around to meet a large jagged demon slowly approaching from the fog, looking at her closely in her eyes! The jagged creature lets out a crackling giggle as it observes the young fanged girl then it crouches down to her face as it gleefully thanks her... It explains that he's been trapped in that damned well ever since that dastardly female Hashira sealed him in 12 years ago! too bad she was exposed to his special blood in the process... and from the looks of it, the demon's eyes focus on Rasshus face as it rubs its long rough thumbs against her cheek fangs... The demon cruelly smiles as he closes in on the poor girl claiming that Rasshu seemed to take on some of his features as he unhinges his jaw to show a plethora of sharp bleached fangs! Rasshu cringes at the low crackling sounds that emanate from its mouth. The demon starts to tauntingly claw Rasshu's sides, drawing red warm blood... The rich aroma of her blood fills the demon's nostrils as its jaw dangles with drool dripping down, and as it cranes its head closer to Rasshu, she instantly reels in and wedges her hatchet directly into the demon's cranium! The demon stumbles back in pain as it curses the bastard hybrid of a human, exclaiming that Rasshu is still just a petty pest just like all the other humans it has eaten! Dangling the fact that not even her mother could survive him because she eventually fell to his immense power... What makes Rasshu think that she can fight him... some 12-year-old with a faulty hatchet and nothing else... The demon lets out a large and domineering roar directed at the poor girl, sending shock waves throughout the area, almost instantly shattering whatever hope she clung to as she fell backward. The demon sadistically smiles as it revels in such an experience! It's going to devour a young girl with such a weird combination of blood? The demon starts to get excited as his fangs start to wriggle at the thought of such a meal! Finally ready to dine in, his eyes roll back as he lunges at Rasshu but then a strong slash slices the arms and legs of the demon, cutting his limbs off!? The demon angered, looks back as it forcefully regenerates his limbs back trying to find out who interrupted his meal! With a firm stare, a stoic green-haired boy stands firm, holding a polished black and red katana in his hands... Wemu gravely claims that he should've destroyed him when he had the chance as his dull red eyes look straight through the demon.
