She doesn't know how she made it to Kanata in time to save her, (Name)'s legs burned from the stress they had been put through in such a short amount of time. Her covered right eye burned as well. Holding Kanata in her arms, she rolled away from the now burning demon.

It was quiet for a moment, the only sound being heard were Kanata's sniffles and (Name)'s heartbeat. Kuina quickly ran over and wrapped her arms around the two of them. No one said a word, they just hugged eachother as they thanked God silently.

"You're crazy!" The kakushi yelled as they backed away from (Name). It's been a week since she visited her home, and now she was on her way to the Wind Hashira's estate to ask for training.

The girl in question laughed. "Is he really that bad of a person?" Tilting her head, she hummed. "Is he really that bad of a guy?" She asked as she rushed ahead to the kakushi's side. 

"Bad guy is an understatement. That man is absolutely crazy! I hear the scars on his skin is from when he cuts himself to lure demons in with his blood! When he was younger, he would just go around baiting them, with his bare hands until morning came! Then he'd hang the demon up in the sun and watch as it burned to death!!" He grabbed his shoulders and shivered. The snow wasn't getting to him, it was the sheer absurdity bothering him.

"Woah really!? I've definitely gotta meet him now, that sounds so cool!" (Name) gushed. Running ahead of the kakushi, she began throwing punches in the air.

"You think he was hitting them like this? Or maybe he stomped on them like this? Ooo or maybe he did this!"

Demonstrating attack moves, she failed to notice the look on his face.

'I'm escorting a crazy child to a crazy hashira...help me.'

Giving out a sigh, he looked up at the kasugai crow that was leading the way. After three days and three nights with some very interesting moments from (Name), they made it to their destination. (Name) groaned as she pulled herself up the last stone step on the mountain. 

"Why...does he live in such a...high space!? The air is so thin!" Going limp on the ground, she rested. The kakushi who led her there stared down at her. "Hey, hey! You can't die on me now, I'll get in trouble for that!" Running to her side, he began slapping her back.

"Up! Up! Wake up!" 

(Name) groaned, "I'm not dead! So stop hitting me!" Looking up at the kakushi, she teared up. "You only want me to live to avoid punishment...you don't like me Kakushi-kun?"

Fluttering her lashes, her eyes became dots as long tears began flowing down her face.

"K-kakushi-kun?! I don't even know you like that- ew stop your getting snot on me!" Trying to pull her arms from his waist, he yelled. (Name) only gripped him tighter.

"You hate me don't you! I should just jump down these steps and die!"

"No no no no no, don't do that!"

"Uggggggg I have lost my will to live!"

"No, wait please I take it back- STOP GETTING SNOT ON ME!"

"What the hell is going on here?" A deep voice asked calmly. The two stopped what they were doing and stared at where the voice came from. There in front of them stood a white haired man.
