He clicks his tongue at what I said. He turn his head to look at Onii-Chan. "And you... those earrings. You're a Sun Breather, aren't you??" He said. His voice is full of spite and hate. Why did he hate us when he just met us today. I don't think either Onii-Chan or me did anything to offend this man. So why is he staring at us as if wanted us both to be dead. Just what is his problem?
-The First Demon Hunter-
Y/N P.O.V
I stare at Rengoku-San's father. He's glaring at the two of us. Why'd he hate us, when he never met us until today? What did he know about this mark on my neck and Onii-Chan's earrings? And Sun-Breather...? What did he mean by Sun-Breather? Is he talking about Onii-Chan?
"What do you mean, sir?" I said. He turn his head to look at me. I flinch at how fierce his gaze are. Onii-Chan steps in front of me to shield me from his hateful gaze. The man in front of us quickly rush towards Onii-Chan. My eyes widen when he swiftly slams my brother down on the ground.
Senjuro tries to help, only for his father to hit him on his face. Rengoku-San quickly grabs him before he falls on the ground. My eyes widen as I gasp at the scene in front of me.
"Knock it off, you monster! How could you hurt your own son!" I yelled out. Onii-Chan also looks angry by the man's action. He yank his arm out of the man's grip and swing his leg. The man is quick to move before Onii-Chan could land a hit.
"You're both mocking us, aren't you? I know all about those earrings and mark" he said, pointing at the two of us. He start going on about the Sun Breathing technique. It doesn't make any sense. No one in our family ever dealt with demons or the Demon Slayer Corps. So how is that even possible?
"The first breathing technique ever created!" He said. I turn to look at Onii-Chan who stares at the man with a look of disbelief. The man turn to point his finger at me. "And you... you're one of those Hunter that exists long before the existence of the Demon Slayers. The first Demon Hunters. That mark on your neck says it all!" He said. My eyes widen in shock at what he said. What is he even talking about??
My hand went up to my neck, where my mark is. I shake my head. "Nothing you're saying right now makes any sense, sir! Neither me or my brother ever associate with anything related slaying demons. We were just charcoal sellers until all these misfortune starts coming into our lives!" I said.
"Shut up!! Just because you're among the first Hunter. Doesn't mean you're above everyone. You're just as useless as the rest of them! If your ancestors were so powerful. The demons would have perished a long time ago!" He yelled angrily at me, making me shut up as I stare at him. I seriously have no idea what this man is talking about. Me... related to the first group of Demon Hunters?
"That's enough! First you insulted my little sister. Now you're just slandering us" Onii-Chan said. He angrily run towards the man. I hear Rengoku-San shout out a warning that his father was a former Hashira. My eyes widened as I turn to look at Onii-Chan, just to see him getting beat up by Rengoku-San's father.
My eyes widened when Onii-Chan suddenly head-butted Rengoku-San's father. The man instantly collapsed on the ground, unconscious. I rush towards them and kneel down next to the hot-headed man. There's a wound on his head. I let out a sigh and turn to look at Onii-Chan. He looks so flustered by what he did.
"I didn't mean to hit his head too hard. I was so angry" he said, nervously. I gently pat his shoulder. I turn to look at Rengoku-San's father. I feel my eyes changing color as I focus on him.
The man's body get engulfed in blue light. I watch as the lump on the man's forehead slowly disappears, until it's completely gone.
I blink my eyes and turn to look at Senjuro who gaped at me. "Your father should be okay now..." I said, smiling softly at him. He blinks his eyes in surprise and bows at me as a sign of gratitude.
***
Senjuro served Onii-Chan and I each a cup of tea. I bow as a thank you to him. "I'm sorry about what I did to your father, Senjuro-Kun. I shouldn't have done that" he said. I just smile sheepishly.
Rengoku-San enters the room holding something in his hand. He kneels down across from us. "This is the book my father always read. Maybe you'd be able to find what you're looking for" he said, placing the book on the floor in front of Onii-Chan. He turn his head to look at me. "As for you... this book is filled with the history of Hunters. I suppose you'd be able to find an answer there" he said.
"Thank you, Rengoku-San..." I said, gently taking the book from him. I hear a gasp and turn my head to look at Onii-Chan. I turn to look at the book he's holding to see the pages have been ripped. My hand went up to cover my mouth in shock.
"Don't worry about it. I'm sure I'll figure something out. What about you, Y/N. I hope that book is fine..." Onii-Chan said, turning his head to look at me. I gulp and turn to look at the book in my hand. I flip the pages. I let out a sigh of relief when I realize the book is fine.
"This book is in good condition. All the pages are fine" I said. He nods his head and motion for me to find the answer I'm looking for. I found a photo of a group of people. Each one of them have the same mark I do on my neck. I scan through the page until my eyes landed on one specific image.
"Angelic rune?" I muttered to myself with a furrowed eyebrows. I turn my attention to the paragraph below.
An angelic rune. Not everyone can withstand its power. If one's body isn't strong enough, this rune will destroy them until all that remains are ashes and bones. But those who managed to withstand its power will receive a powerful ability, that could compare to a real angel. Giving them the powers to do many things, which includes hunting demons.
Over time, more and more people managed to gain this rune. Some were even born to posses this rune when they reach a certain age, mostly at the age of 14... this rune will appear on a specific spot on their body, commonly their necks.
After their population grows in number, they decided to join forces to destroy the evil demons to ensure peace was brought into the world. Until eventually, they formed an organization. And they called themselves...
Shadowhunters
"Shadow... hunters?" I muttered under my breath. If what is explained in this book is true. Then that means I'm a descendant of them. The mark would appear on the age of 14. My eyes widened in realization that I've just recently turned 14. Which means... I really am a shadowhunter.
