Kota's POV
"What the heck? Who wears a boar head?" I ask, looking up facing his... well, mask. He looks stunned for a bit, which leads to an awkward silence. "Uhm, hellooo?" I say, waving my hands back and forth in front of the boar dude.
"Fight me!" He finally says again, making me stir in my question.
"I'm sorry about Inosuke!" A boy with red hair, and strangely with a box on his back apologizes, holding the boar guy's arm back so he wouldn't go crazy. "My name is Kamado Tanjiro! This is Inouke. And-" He is cut off when a yellow-haired boy screams and clings onto his arm.
"TANJIROO! SAVE ME-" He wails but catches my attention. I swear I felt the mood swings. "Who is this beautiful young lady?" He slowly crawls over to me, reaching for my hand. "Are you here to marry me and stay by my side forever? Are you here to protect me from man-eating demons?"
I pause. "Demons?" I look over to Akaza, who seems a little bit nervous.
"Zenitsu!" Tanjiro snatches his arm away from me. "That's no manners! I am truly sorry, ma'am. You see, we're demon slayers. We're on a mission right now. It has been reported that a few demons have showed up in this area. But really, I am sorry for my friends behaviors."
I laugh. Tanjiro is like a parent of the group! "It's all right. But-" I'm cut off when I see Tanjiro sniffling something from the air. Is- is this normal?
Tanjiro closes his eyes and continues to sniff the air, slowly turning his head towards Akaza and I. He snaps open his eyes, fixing his gaze on Akaza.
"Uh, you good? I don't think a normal human being would sniff the air like that. No offense or anything, just strange." I question, but he is focused on someone else.
Akaza tugs on my wrist. "We should get going."
"Wait, but I've only just met them! Please let me hang out with them, please? They seem to be great friends! Why don't you look around for a while? They said they were Demon slayers or something, I'm sure they can protect me! Also I've trained with you-" I start to reason, but I get cut off, AGAIN.
"No." He snaps.
I groan and nod. I can't fight that guy.
I turn to see the three boys just standing there. I wave them goodbye as Akaza drags me away.
I awkwardly walk beside Akaza. "Soo.." I speak up, trying to break the silence. "I heard there are going to be some fireworks... want to go see them?"
"Fireworks?" He asks, scratching his head. "Sure I guess?"
We walk over to where the lake is, waiting for the fireworks to start.
"When is it going to start-" I'm interrupted by a loud 'boom'. I guess it started.
Akaza's attention is caught by the fireworks. I poke him but he doesn't reply. Should I sneak away? It seems like a good time to sneak away.
I quietly got up from my seat, slowly walking away. I start running when Akaza is out of my sight. First thing to do. Find the demon slayers.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few minutes passed, and I finally found them. They're walking towards a forest. Maybe they found the demon?
"Hey!" I call out, but there is a long distance between us so I don't expect them to hear. But Zenitsu turns his head my way, waving. He heard me?
"Hey pretty lady! You came back for me!" He shouts, running towards me. Umm, okay. "Let's go!" He is beside me in a matter of seconds. He grabs my wrist and drags me along.
How is he so fast????
"Hello! I see you came back! Did- did the 'guy' let you go?" Tanjiro asks smiling softly.
"No," I reply, placing my hands on my hips, feeling proud. "I sneaked away."
"WHAT?? YOU SNEAKED AWAY?? HE'S GOING TO FOLLOW US AND KILL US ALL!" Zenitsu cries, dramatically falling onto the ground.
"Why do you think he's going to kill us? He's a nice guy." I frown at the disrespect Zenitsu is showing to my teacher.
"RIght. Let's go! Uhh..." Zenitsu stutters. Right. My name.
"I'm Kota." I introduce.
"Right! Maybe you'll be able to help with that fighting skill of yours." Zenitsu giggles and pokes my arm.
This dude is a simp.
"I guess? I have nothing better to do so..."
"Great!" Zenitsu yelps, hugging my arm. "Let's go my future wife!"
"Future wife?" I raise an eyebrow. "What is wrong with you, kid?"
"Don't call me a kid! I bet I'm older than you! I'm 16, and you?"
"..15"
"So don't call me a kid!" He frowns, gripping my arm tighter.
"Zenitsu! Give Kota some space!" Tanjiro exclaimed while tugging onto Zenitsu's haori. He suddenly stops, sniffs the air, and perks up. But seriously, what is with the sniffing?
"I smell a demon nearby!" He shouts, then starts running into the crowd. Zenitsu, Boar guy and I are quick to follow. Wow, this is actually fun! I wonder what they'll do next...
I trail off my thoughts as Tanjiro stops in front of the forest. Then, I see it.
Standing in the middle of a trail, there was a boy with white hair, and some red spots on his pale face much like Akaza's. I see that he also has letters in his eyes. It says... lower moon 5?
Hes look send chills down my back, and I stop in fear.
"So," I gulp, my voice shivering. "Those things are demons?"
