Haganezuka-San look disappointed. He's hoping to see a red sword. He lunges at Onii-Chan and pins him down. I panic at the sight and try to pull them apart. But this man is too strong. Goodness, this man is scarier than demons.

-First Mission-

Y/N P.O.V

It's early in the morning. Onii-Chan and I have changed our clothes into our Demon Slayer uniforms. We should be taking missions soon. As much as I feel nervous with facing a demon, I know I have to go through with this. I will keep on fighting until I'd be able to find a cure for Nee-San. So she can be a human again.

"Caw! Caw!" I heard the sound of crows. I turn my head and realize it's the Kasugai Crows that was given to us. "Head Northwest! Head Northwest! There are girls that went missing from that village! Go now! You are to find the source and defeat the demon!" My crow said. I turn my head to look at Onii-Chan.

"Looks like we got our first mission" I said. He smiles and nod his head. I grab my sword and strap it inside my belt. Onii-Chan doing the same.

"Here... take this with you. This box is made with light wood. But it's durable" Urokodaki-San said. Onii-Chan take the box from him. His eyes lit up.

"Woah... it's so light!" He said. I walk towards him, wanting to try it too. He hands it to me, making me surprise with how light it is. We head towards the room Nee-San is in. He kneels down in front of the bed.

"Can you get in?" He asked. Nee-San went inside the blanket for a few seconds. She moves forward, entering the box. I smile softly at her as Onii-Chan do the same. "We'll always be together from now on. Right, Y/N?" He said.

"Yeah... we'll always be a team, Onii-Chan" I said, nodding my head. He lift his hand, gently ruffling my head. He strap the straps around his shoulder. The two of us make our way out of the house. "We'll be going now, Urokodaki-San. Thank you for everything..." I said.

"Hold still both of you..." Urokodaki-San said. He walks towards us. He adjusts the button on Onii-Chan's collar. He turn to look at me and gently pat my shoulders. "May luck will always be on your side" he said. I smile softly at him and bows respectfully. We turn around and begins our journey Northwest.

***

It took us a while, but we finally reached the village. I look around the area. My eyes landed on a man who walks weakly. He looks so pale and there are noticeable eye bags under his eyes.

I heard from the locals that the man lost his fiancé the night before. I turn to look at Onii-Chan. He turn to me and nod his head, seemingly understand that I want to ask the man about the cases of the missing girls. We quickly turn around and chases after the man.

He leads us to the place where his fiancé disappears. I close my eyes as I try to feel any sort of evil. Aside from the rapid healing. My eyes also seem sharper and I'm able to see things that I failed to before, which includes auras.

"Y/N?" I hear Onii-Chan calls out to. I turn my head to look at him to see him staring at me with an unreadable expression. But the aura surrounding him let's me know that he's confused and shocked. "Y-Your eyes..." he said. I furrowed my eyebrow in confusion.

"What about my eyes, Onii-Chan?" I questioned. I pull out my sword so I can take a look at my eyes reflection on the blade. My eyes widened when I realize my eyes have changed color. My normal eye-color is supposed to be e/c. But right now, they're sapphire blue.

I shake my head deciding to ignore it

I shake my head deciding to ignore it. I'll figure what's going on later. But first, I need to focus on this mission.

This whole place is covered in red auras. 'There's evil around here' I thought to myself. I blink my eyes a few times as my sight turn normal. I turn to look at Onii-Chan, to see him looking just as troubled as I am. He must've smelled that there are something bad around this area.

"Both of you might not believe me... but I'm saying the truth" the man said. I turn my head to look at him. I focus on him and can see the aura surrounding his body is blue, the color that represents sadness.

"We believe you... that's why we're here" I said. Onii-Chan nods his head in agreement. I give the man a soft smile as we start our search.

Time-Skip

The sun have begun to set. Onii-Chan and I, along with the man keeps on walking around. Onii-Chan kneels down on the ground every now and then to sniff out the demon's scent.

"Shouldn't you be resting? The sun have begin to set..." the man said, worriedly. I turn my head to look at him. He looks concern of our well-being.

"No. We can't afford to rest now. They're active at night. But thank you for your concern" I said, smiling softly at him. I turn my head to look forward. I can see the evil aura, noticing it's coming from a certain direction. "This way, Onii-Chan!" I said, grabbing my brother's wrist and starts to pull him along.

After a few steps, I let go of his wrist and jump high. I look over my shoulder to make sure he's following me. I look forward once I made sure he did.

I land swiftly on the ground and look around. I look down and notices the aura gathering around here. I pull out my sword and point the sharp end at the ground. Once I'm sure that I'm pointing the right spot. I stab the ground. A black ripple starts forming.

I notice a kimono floating. I realize it's a person. So I quickly reached in and grab her. I jump out of the way as the demon tries to attack me. Onii-Chan finally caught up with me. I turn to the man.

"Here... take her and stay close to us" I said. The man take the girl in his arms. I turn around and focus on the demon. I notice how the demon's teeth starts spinning. I clench my grip around my sword's hilt. I can't afford to be afraid now. I have to defeat this demon. I'm sure if we all work together, we'll be able to defeat that demon.
