Guardian of an earl

What's An Oni?

 Step by Step a dance a hand on the hilt of my sword as I stare down at a monster Its Golden eyes stared down at me, its grey skin stained by the blood of his new victim. "What a cute little dance you think a little dance will keep me from eating you?" He flung towards me, dodging his attack with ease as I was a bit smaller, the creature seem to be 7'1 feet in height, unfortunately, its additional limbs were able to catch me at the second attack holding my arms tight so I won't be able to escape. "We don't want to hurt your pretty face, didn't your parents teach you not to play with knives." With a huge grin, he tighten his grip I could feel my bones being crushed under this monster. I had to do something or I'll lose everything, I have to break free. Lifting up my leg kicking to his stomach losing his grip and gasping for air giving me the opportunity to move further away from him. "You little bitch!" 

I hurried to my feet and unsheath my sword, holding it tightly and steadying my breathing. This monster only stares at my sword laughing  "You really think you can kill me with that tiny thing  is like a toothpick to me." I took a deep breath and took a stand, lashing his claws at me, using my sword to block it inches close to my face. This thing this monster was strong it felt like I was holding back a bear but I didn't want to give up that easily unfortunately if I continue I will surely die from it. I need to get away from him. I need to fight him long range but I didn't bring my pistol not believing I'll fight this THING. But now I need to get to distract him so I can make my escape. Holding on to my sword I change my footing to slide my sword cutting his fingertips through, running out of the ally way almost getting caught this thing was fast. I kept running as fast as I could until my throat start to burn and I took a long breath but it was still behind me. "Sound Breathing First Form Roar" A scream came behind me with heavy winds pushing me to the ground. I lift myself up from the gravel road and turn myself to see what happens behind me as a tall figure attacked the monster.  "Come at me demon I'm not scared of you." A young man raises a dual weapon with a small scythe chained with some ball weights at the end, he glances over his shoulder looking at me as if I just ruined his entrance. "Listen lady get out of here is dangerous I'll give you some time," he said gesturing for me to leave only to be stopped by being thrown by the demon breaking a street lamp with his body. Hurrying to grab my sword starring down the pale demon as my heart races as his terrible laugh at me yet again "We had this conversation before and we both know how this end so make this easy for both of us and just give up like a good little girl." tightening my grip around the handle running towards the demon slashing his hands through with my sword and stabbing it through the throat feeling a hand grabbing me by the throat lifting to his cold dead eyes. How?! I chopped off his hands, did they grow back?!

It kept staring into my eyes as I struggle to be set free from his tight grasp "I told you, little girl, you can't hurt me, you're too weak." I let a noise sound like I was trying to form a sentence "I know I was only the distraction" I grinned as a pair of scythes cut through his neck and let me fall to the ground gasping for air laying on my back staring at the dark cloudy sky as the strange man walked towards me with a serious look staring down at me making me laugh. With all that happen all I could do was laugh with a scratchy voice and all. "This is a serious matter and you are laughing my mentor would love to meet you. Come on stand up you're making your injuries worse if you lie down to follow my breathing it will slow the internal injuries." He made me sit up and make sure I copy his breathing for a couple of minutes and take me to a small hotel where the young man was by my side. "If your gonna keep me company, I like to know who you are." I stare at the young man that look around my age who saved my life as I could finally take a look at him. His feminine facial features with his thick long red hair tied up in an attempt of a  neat ponytail and his dark grey eyes examining my wound if it wasn't for his voice I would believe he was a young lady, "My name is Yukio I am a Demon Slayer from Japan I was sent here because there was evidence of one of the most Upper moon demons trying to hide here in England so I and my mentor was sent here to investigate." He said directly without hiding the fact of what he was doing in England. "Wait you're saying that thing was a demon it's not the demons I read in books," I said staring as he disinfected my wounds and wrapped them up. "Well, they are not exactly demons we call them Oni's to be specific, demon is an English word that is easy to describe them. I was lucky to learn English at a young age so another reason they send me here. "  finishing up with my bandaging and putting the medical things away as the door opened with a voice boom in the room it was a very muscular man with the same uniform as Yukio but with the sleeves cut off with giant dual blades on his back, white hair and dark pink eyes with a wide grin.  Yukio responded to him and gestured toward me speaking in his native language I believe talking about what happened tonight without warning jumped towards me with a big smile and said something I didn't understand. "This is my Mentor Uzui Tengen I just told him of our situation and he said it was a risky move but liked your bravery saying is Flashy but you he, not a fan of your clothing though." Is true I wasn't wearing anything fancy to go fight I was still in my present clothes but Tengen had an eye for fashion I could see he was a flamboyant man by the way he show himself. "Is nice to meet you sir Uzui your student is an amazing fighter." I give him a sweet smile with Yukio translated. Tengen only nodded and suddenly got serious telling something to Yukio. "Well you're all patched up so you are able to leave your family must be worried about you." I notice that they wanted to talk business with each other so I understand but I also want to know more about these Oni I need to get a way for them to see me again. "Why don't you come over to my mansion for the afternoon I would like to show your mentor how I really dress." inviting is the best plan at the moment only for Yukio to stare at me and then talk to Tengen from a thumbs up from for an agreement to comes to see me tomorrow.
