Intertwined Fate (muzan x oc)

Chapter 3 : Training

Kyoka POV

Starting today, me and Tanjiro will be keeping a journal for Nezuko.

Again, today we descended the mountain. We do this every day trying to avoid all the traps. We've gotten better. A lot better than the first time. But as we get better, the traps get even deadlier. It's like he wants us dead!

Today we descended the mountain with a katana. It's a lot harder. We get caught in the traps more easily and it slows us down. We practice with our katana's, but I prefer my kunai. Urokodaki is sending them off to be examined for any of the special ore that nichirin swords contain. He's strict about breaking our katana's. In other words, if we break it, he breaks us. I don't want to learn what he means by that.

Today we had to charge Urokodaki. He threw us down time and time again. It hurts. Tanjiro fights with a sword but I fight bare-handed. I'm still waiting for my kunai to return. Urokodaki is ridiculously strong, and we never even come close to striking him down.

Today we learned standard breathing techniques and forms. We can never get them right. He always smacks our stomachs whenever we screw up. It hurts a lot. You're lucky that you're asleep Nezuko.

Nezuko you've been asleep for the past 6 months and you haven't woken up. Me and Tanjiro are concerned. The doctor came by and found nothing wrong with you.

One day Urokodaki just said: "I have nothing more to teach you." He took me and Tanjiro to a giant boulder and said: "If you both can cut this boulder at the same time, then I will approve you both for the final selection." Oh, and my kunai finally came back! I can use my kunai because of some of the ore they found within them. Me and Tanjiro train and train every day but still can't cut the boulder.

After half a year we still can't cut it. Then one day a mysterious boy appeared. He challenged us to fight. He had a wooden sword, and it was two against one. This confused me. But as predicted he beat us. He disappeared and this strange girl appeared. Her name was Makomo, and she told us the boy's name was Sabito. She explained the breathing techniques and battle stances just like Urokodaki did. She had a different way of explaining it though. It's a little strange but it helps a lot.

Every day Sabito comes to challenge us and every day we fail time and time again. Another 6 months passed and one day Sabito showed up with a real sword. Everything was the same except for me and Tanjiro got to Sabito first. Tanjiro's sword cut his mask and my blade was right near his neck. Of course, I wasn't going to use it on him. When Sabito's mask fell away he smiled at both of us and he and Makomo disappeared. When they did, we found that our blades had cut through the boulder.

We don't know why Sabito and Makomo did what they did. But I knew for sure that we were going to pass the final selection.
