"Caw! Head to the headquarters! Caw!"


Kirumi's confusion only grew the more she stared at the crow

How did they find her? When did they find her? Did they know she lived with demons?

~

Kirumi was about to walk out of the house, the only thing she took was her previous haori and a snack for the trip

It wasn't easy to convince Tamayo and Yushiro that they wouldn't be in danger

And it was even harder to convince the crow to come back in a few minutes

Tamayo smiled gently at Kirumi as she opened the door

"Have a safe trip" Tamayo said while looking down at Kirumi

The girl only nodded her head in response

She couldn't believe this was happening, she couldn't believe she would be leaving and going back to the place that started this all

Although, she was completely different

She wasn't the same person that she was before and that was kind of scary for her

Why? She didn't know, she was just... scared

Kirumi snapped out of her thoughts when she felt a tap on her shoulder

"You should go now, before you get us busted" The demon boy said

Kirumi took a deep breath before nodding her head

She was going to miss this

Her life had changed and she had gotten used to this life, she didn't want to change it again

But she knew she had to, she couldn't put them at risk... They weren't bad demons

Kirumi went out the door, ready to walk towards the village and go to the headquarters

"Have a safe trip... And don't you dare get hurt"

That was the last thing Kirumi heard before leaving and starting a very different life... again

~

After a short meeting with the Master, Kirumi got assigned another crow

The crow that was now named "Suki"

A simple, yet meaningful name if someone thought about it

Not only that, but it was the time she was first offered to become a Hashira

And, of course, Kirumi denied the position, although, she was offered a few... things

The master offered her a house to live in, which Kirumi denied

The master offered another uniform, which Kirumi decided to accept, in the end, she was going to grow up... Well, she most probably was

And the last thing, which wasn't an offer, but a request from Kirumi

A customized sword to help her actually use her breathing style

Which was an accepted request

~

And from then on, Kirumi kept going with her life

Going from place to place to complete missions

Trying different types of bread all over Japan

Ocassionally eating udon in a few of the places she went to

It was a small routine of always searching for something that brought back good memories during each change in her life

It was like a way for Kirumi to not be affected by the constant change of... everything

Taisho era secret

▪︎ Kirumi had ocassionally met a few Hashiras during her missions, but, of course, she never really remembered them

Ok! So, since it is the end of this arc, I'll be showing Kirumi, when she was younger, her previous uniform, and Katzuki.

This is her previous uniform, the difference from the one she uses now is that it has pants (Like Tokito's ones) and that her haori is a little bit bigger

This is (similar) to how she looked when she was younger, like, when Giyuu found her.
