Y/n pov:

Seasons passed by, and Winter finally came.

Before I left to meet up with Mrs. Hitomi Shiro, I came up with a reason to my mother telling her I was going to help find a lost kitten that a neighbor lost, which she bought it.

As I got to the location Hitomi-san said where I would meet up with, there she stood waiting for me to arrive "follow" was all she said but I oblige, as we're on our way to her cottage I began to notice the change of atmosphere, I looked up to see how beautiful crystal-white snow silently fell down from the sky.

As I followed the old woman on our way to her home there's one thing, I notice mediety I noticed the air was thick I clearly remembered it wasn't like this last time, as we ascend further it was getting harder to breath.

"Out of breath? The training hasn't even started"

"What!?!?" Shocked, we weren't even half way the mountain she resides, she leaded me to the back of her home. there I saw ice cold river "if you don't feel any coldness within 5 minutes. I'll accept you as my student" If I go in there I'll die from hyperthermia or freeze to death.

"I-I can't I'll die" she turns around and said "Weak... I knew you didn't have it in you. you can walk back home" and began walking back to her home.

Remembering my reason why I'm here it wasn't just to protect my family, but other people who might even fall victim to these demons, I jumped in the cold river "s-so cold..." held unto my arms to make it warmer which it didn't help.

"I didn't expect you to really jump in or whine like other girls like little kids. Most of them came to my cottage and whine on and on they didn't have the courage to jump like you did" wait so I didn't need to jump in to prove it? I got out of the water start warm myself.

She gave me a towel and a new set of kimono "you're the first one to ever jump in or prove potential. usually, kids would run off and screaming or resort to violence" confused I asked.

"what's that supposed to mean?"

"It means I'll take you under my wing. I'll prepare you for the entrance exam. I was just testing you, if you're going to whine like other kids. In your physical state you have no chance of cutting off a demon's head." My eyes widened, she accepted me?

"Be ready little girl, this training isn't easy as it looks like"

It's already day 4 of the training, she would lead me further into the mountain where the freezing river to meditate, she told me to practice my breathing while in the cold water, balance my body in the frozen lake while 4 kilos of ice strapped on a metal pipe, when I got back home my whole body felt sore, I was laying on my futon next to me was Nezuko and Hanako sleeping peacefully turning on my side I felt the pain on my side.

Remembering what Hitomi-san said "it's normal you will feel soreness you'll get used to it and the pain will subside" my thoughts went to Tomioka-san, 'I wonder how is he doing' I thought drifting to a deep slumber.

Meanwhile...

In a different town Giyuu managed to survive but lost his sister to a demon at the process she prioritized his safety over hers and was taken under the care of this masked man named Sakonji Urokodaki and met two other student Sabito and Makomo, later on the young man they introduced him about Water breathing Sakonji saw potential in him.

Giyuu laying on his futon feeling sore and exhausted he felt like someone was talking about him brushed it off, before he drift off to sleep he then remembered his encounter with that Kamado girl.

The next three days... she taught me about ice breathing and they're forms "there are 8 forms of ice breathing, keep this in mind Blizzard Storm could leave you breathing difficulty for at least few days so you should be fine, But..." She then her face turned serious listening to intently according to her the eight form could leave a permanent Damage if I over use it, some of the forms was fine what I have to worry about is the eight form.

She went back inside and brought out a wooden sword she told me to get the mats from the back and so I did that... I didn't know it will be this difficult because a single slap will probably knock a person out, I was coming up with a reason where I have gone, my mom is starting to get suspicious where I disappear too.

Hitomi-San gave me a bokken (meaning: wooden sword) to train and my fingers started to hurt, per swing I had to apply a bit firm to the force straight along the blade. did I forget to mention I had to do it 500 times and If I fail, she adds another 100 swings if it's not powerful enough.

Before I descend to the mountain, I know full well Mom would scold me the moment I step inside or if I'm in her sight. I speed walk home not wanting to encounter another demon. As I reached my home there stood in the doorway my sweet kind hearted mother with a face of disappointment.

"where were you? Y/n I'm really worried, It's like you're keeping something away from me including your father" when I heard and saw hurt in her eyes. With that I felt guilty for lying but the fear of my mother figuring that I was training to become a demon slayer.

I was battling myself inside whether to tell her or not, but oh boy i was raised to be a honest person i just couldn't lie to my mother but then again I've been keeping this training secretly away from her "mom look... what I'm about to tell you might get mad - i looked at her again just to clarify if she wants me to continue - I... remember the old lady that i always told you that help her carry the groceries" she nodded i looked down sighing looking back at her feeling somewhat  brave.


"everyday I've been training under her to kill demons"
