"Stay back, demon slayer, i have not an idea of whom you are, but it is my duty as a demon slayer to protect you, even if it means most certain death against uppermoon 6"
~~~ Swosh~~~
"Y-your a Hashira? If i had known i would not have disrespected y...

"*Caw* *Caw*," my crow cried out as it came flying towards me, i held my arm out for it to land on, "Head to Tokoyami village to look for a demon, reports have said it has been there for about a month, it kills in groups of 4 to 5 and tends to leave no traces"
"thank you, Yami what way do i head to get there?" i said, to my crow, Yami.
she was quiet for a second then said "head west, there will be a river then a forest, it is not far from the river *caw* *caw*" i then grabbed some geed out of my pocket and put it onto a nearby rock,
"there you go, thank you for telling me about my mission." Yami cawed then got off of my arm and went to eat the seed, so i went east towards the village, but i didn't know that i would be heading too most certain death.

the crunching of leaves and twigs under my feet as I walked, the soft breeze that blew my hair the swishing of the water ahead, my haori blowing in the wind, the smell of a campfire, they all proved that my senses were keen, and, I was ready to fight whatever came to me, I stepped forward as if on repeat but this time, the ground was softer as I got closer to the lazy river, the morning fog was clearing up, it was warm, I felt as if my pores were cleansing themselves, the sound of water running was louder now, I stepped into a clearing, and there it was, the river so I knew I was going in the right direction, I waded my way through the water and there I was standing at the edge of the village, it was gloomy, sad, and I could sense some anger, the sun didn't even peak through the trees, there were people working, on graves, flowers at most of the finished graves, I walked towards a person who was setting some flowers in a pot near one of the graves, he had a missing arm that was bandaged up,
"Hello, sir"i said he looked up at me, his teary eyes full of pain, "I have come to help get rid of the demon who did this" i said his eyes softened a bit, "could you show me to the building with the most recent death?"
"Yes i can, thank you for coming" he bowed at a 90 degree angle then stood up, "follow me, when the village heard you were coming, they were happy, this one occurred not even 30 minutes before you arrived we decided that it was best to leave the body's there and not go into the house so you could find any possible evidence" the man said as he lead me further into the village, we then stopped at a small house with flowers of all kind near the doorway, there was wisteria,
"The purple flower, its wisteria, does this village have the knowledge of demons?" as i looked at the outside of the house more i saw that there was wisteria at every window door and even on the chimney.
"oh yes, after the second slaughter we went to the library to see if we could find anything on what was happening, it said that wisteria would help, and when the first scream was heard we put wisteria around" he was motioning to a building and then a tree with the violet flower in its branches.
"if the screams were heard whilst you put the flower there, then could you get people to evacuate, to a place farther away? and please get people with physical strength to make a circle of wisteria in a range around this area, that way if its in there and runs out it might not notice the circle and could harm its self and if its not finished the people will hopefully be able to protect themselves until i get to them, please" I rambled on, you could probably see the gears moveing inside my head as i came up with a plan.
"yes yes, of course" he then bowed with just his head and ran off towards nearby houses and shops.
~~~
I was now inside the house, it was dark no lantern's were lit, the ones that i came across I would light, as i walked towards the back of the house there was more blood and less light and lantern's, maybe the demon has moved them to not be spotted?, then out of the corner of my eye i saw movement, there was a body in front of me, and blood drops on the floor going towards the spot where i saw the movements, the demon was there,
"Demon, i know your there, come out," i demanded then continued, "we aren't playing hide n' seek" Then where i had seen movement, out came a demon, it lunged straight towards me, i un-sheathed my katana, and sliced its arm off then sidestepped towards the entrance, i had to lure it outside so i couldn't get more power by feeding.
"ill kill you for that" it said under its breathe, "good luck with that" i retorted its arm had regenerated by now, it came running at me, i backed up, side-stepped then sliced its leg off and ran outside as its leg was regenerating, it chased after me, perfect.
"YOU BRAT DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM" it said as it stepped outside.
~~~~with a Hashira 2 hours earlier (a bit before you got the mission)~~~~
*Caw* *caw* the demon at Tokoyami village is an uppermoon, please get there immediately we sent a slayer that was not a Hashira, they may die, *Caw* Caw*.
"I WILL GET THERE IMMEDIATELY" the Hashira said
~~~~back with you 1 or 2 mins have passed~~~~
"for an uppermoon your weak," you said looking down of the demon "illusion breathing form 2: sight of the devil" you then slashed at the demon cutting both of its arms off, you wanted it to die a long antagonizing death just like its victims, you heard running from somewhere behind you
"HA, you don't even have enough power to slice my head off-- wait w-what how are- why are there- WHY ARE THERE SO MANY OF YOU?!?!"
"you see, when using form 2, the person I hit sees many of me and soon you will feel dizzy and have a headache," you said, the footsteps were almost right behind you now, you held your hand out backwards "Do not come any closer, this is an uppermoon, you may die and my job as a demon slayer is to protect others, no matter if they are human or a slayer."
"But-" the voice started, but was cut off by me
"no buts," you moved forward towards the demon who was holding its head in pain right before you sliced its head off you said: "die, foul beast" *swoosh* and its head was off, you turned around to see a surprised Rengoku, you immediately dropped down on one knee with you head down
"Im so Sorry for bossing you around, if i had known who you were i would not have!!" you said towards the ground, but... you started to feel dizzy.
"It is fine, especially because you are a Hashira now." Rengoku commented but i didn't know what he meant,
"W-what, what do you mean?" you said, the dizziness worsening by the minute.
"If you kill and uppermoon, or over 60 demons you are Pillar level, and you have killed uppermoon 6 no-one has killed a uppermoon or a lowermoon for many centuries," the flame Hashira started to ramble on,
"I-I" whilst starting your sentence, you passed out.
