Sparrow flew ahead of the three demon slayers, slightly impatiently as he glanced back at them to make sure they were actually following. "I feel like we are on a secret mission!" Indigo chirped, her eyes glinted with excitement at the thought of their first mission. Her hand gently glazed over the crow that rested comfortably at the top of her head. Honey cooed happily and snuggled into Indigo's hair more. Jasper slightly snorted with amusement "You two are certainty getting along. sadly, can't say the same for my buddy old pal over here." His voiced was laced was overdramatic and pretend hurt, as he gave his crow, Sparrow subtle side eye. An annoyed caw came from the crow in front of them. "Caw." Jasper mocked his tone sounded annoyed but his smirk said otherwise. "I will peck your eyes out kid." The crow retorted. Indigo stared amused at the sight in front of her. "You really can pick a fight with anything." Zenitsu remarked. "Wanna be the next thing I pick a fight with?" Jasper asked with a cocked eyebrow, his hand rested on his katana, clearly meaning it as a threat. "Oh no you won't scare me this time- EEEK!!!! INDIGO!" Zenitsu's annoyed voice became that of a panicked one as Jasper swung his Katana at him and immediately went to hug onto Indigo's arm for protection. Jasper bursted out laughing as he put his Katana back in place. Indigo slightly snickered as Zenitsu looked up at her "YOU TO!?" Zenitsu camplained.

The moon was now rising by the time they had made it to the town. "Finallyyy" Indigo said with relief. "You guys still have a demon to fight. The disappearances have been mostly around this area." Sparrow stated as he started to fly away going to watch from the guidelines. "HONEY GET UP!" He shouted at the sleeping crow as he flew by, who woke up in a panic, wings frantically flapping. "Right sorry!" Honey said as she flew after Sparrow, after regaining her composure. Zenitsu grabbed onto Indigo's hand, shaking, he was about to start shouting about how he is going to die before being interrupted "You'll be fine! You have us to protect you!" Indigo said reassuringly. "Alright let's find this demon." Jasper stated.

"HELP! SOMEONE! ANYONE! PLEASE!" A blood curdling scream of pure pain could be heard. Indigo quickly sprinted forwards, slightly tripping over her own feet in the process. Jasper also quickly ran towards the scream, dragging Zenitsu as he attempted to go the opposite direction of the scream. The slight they saw when they got there was a man jagged piece of long rock sticking through his shoulder. "annoying!" The demon muttered, taking her hand back the rock pulled out of his shoulder before changing direction and going for his heart. The man watched in horror before his was pulled back and picked up away from the fight.. "Are you alright sir?" Indigo asked, the man was in Jasper's arms before he was put back down. Jasper used his sleeve to wipe at his bleeding cheek that got cut on the rock. "DO I LOOK LIKE-" The man was cut off by the demon. "A-Ah! It's just normal demon slayers!" The demon stated almost in relief. "IS THAT A LOWER MOON!?" Zenitsu suddenly screamed spotting the number '4' engraved in one of her eyes. "Hmph why yes I am!" She said putting her hand over her chest in pride. "And you guys would make a lovely feast!" Her foot suddenly stomped onto the ground sending jagged rocks coming from the ground towards the trio. Indigo and Jasper darted out of the way. Jasper landed near Zanitsu "Protect him." Jasper stated, referring to the injured man. Indigo rushed towards the demon, attempting to avoid the rocks that came her way, a few scratches were littered over here face as she swung her blade at the demon. The demon blocked the attack with a rock wall before she quickly stepped aside as Jasper had jumped towards her. More rocks came from the ground and Jasper had to take a step back. The demon slightly smiled and sent rocks towards Indigo and she got out of the way quickly, almost confused like that attack wasnt aimed at her- 'Zenitsu!' shouted in her head as she turned on her heel. She grabbed both Zenitsu and the man. As she pulled them out of the way, she had used herself as a shield in the process and ended up getting stabbed in the shoulder also in the process. "OWWW!" Indigo complained.

"Oh you worthless piece of sh*t demon-!" Jasper snapped. 'wind breathing first form: Dust whirlwind cutter' he caught he demon off guard and ended up slashing her a few times before he was thrown away by a rock shooting up from the ground. "YOU BRAT- HUH!?" the demon was caught off guard once again. 'love breathing third form catlove shower!' Indigo thought as she leaped forward releasing multiple ranged attacks. Jasper rushed forward to swing his blade at the demon before hearing "ENOUGH." the demon snapped. They were suddenly pinned towards the wall with rocks. "I thought you were weak enough that I could toy with you guys. but THIS!? THIS IS JUST ANNOYING!" She snapped, rubbing her temple as if she had a headache. Jasper snapped his arm forward with a annoyed huff, the rock that was there slicing his skin in the process. Then he used his whole force and pushed himself forward, felt like he was getting skinned alive from the rocks keeping him in place but he did it. Indigo copied him and got free as well. Rocks were once again sent their way 'love breathing sixth form cat-legged winds of love' Indigo slightly twirled around stopping the rocks from reaching them and started to distract the demon by running around her.. While Indigo was distracting the demon Jasper had sliced the back of the demon and she fell forward. "are you really a lower moon-?" Jasper asked "sure we have had difficulties, but you don't seem that tough." He remarked. The demon looked up in fear of the two, sure she healed herself but currently a little terrified. "D-Don't kill me!" She started pleading. "I-I never wanted to become a demon!" "tough sh*t" Jasper replied looking annoyed. Tears welled up in her eyes in a panic. "Um- hey- don't cry-?" Indigo said kneeling down to the demon. "There there-?" Indigo said as she gently rubbed the demon's head. "Indigo she tried to kill you." "Well I know but- oh-" the demon's head fell off from Jasper as he stared at Indigo with a 'are you serious?' face.

Pillow secrets:

-Zenitsu was sorta just frozen there in terror during the whole thing.

-Indigo and Jasper most likely would have lost that fight if lower moon 4 was actually trying and didn't start sobbing because she thought she was going to die.

-I made up her own blood demon art since there is no info on anyone of the lower moon's powers besides Rui and Enmu.

-Sparrow is a older crow who tries not to become attach to demon slayers he has been assigned to because they have all died.

-Honey is a newer crow who follows around Sparrow because she doesn't know what she is doing.
