The light left her eyes after witnessing the brutal murder of her family. She was later taken in by a kind man, who is the head of the Kamado family. L/N Y/N is her name. A young beautiful girl with a tragic past.
After getting taken in, the Kamado...
After a while, I finally turn around and walks out of their sights, heading towards my next destination. Anticipation grows within me. My heart is filled with nervousness, wondering what will happen in my next journey.
-A Helping Hand-
Y/N P.O.V
I camp inside a cave. The rain outside makes the air cold. Luckily, I know how to start a fire from scratch or I'd feel freezing. I stare at the rain as I sit at the edge of the cave.
I wonder how Tanjiro and Nezuko are doing. I hope Urokodaki-San isn't too harsh on his training to Tanjiro. It hasn't even been a day, and I already wish they're here with me.
The sun is currently down, which means it would be better if I don't sleep. I don't want to risk letting my guard down only to get attack by a demon. I close my eyes as I let myself relax.
I feel presence, not one but many. I move to stand up. I squint my eyes as I look forward to see a bunch of them. My eyes widen as one of them lunges at me. I quickly rolls out of the way.
"An armless human!! Just our luck! A marechi too!!" One of them said. I keep hearing that words over and over. All of the demons I've faced would always call me that. A marechi.
"What the hell is marechi?" I muttered to myself. I jump out of the way when another tries to strike me. I lift my hand and conjure my ice sword. This sword is made of ice. But weirdly enough, it wouldn't melt unless I let it go. Even if it got expose to fire or the sunlight. As long as I let my energy flows through it, it remains as strong as the ones made of steel.
I jump out of the way only for another demon trying to strike me mid-air. I turn around and slice it in half. I land on the ground not far from where I previously stood.
"Ah! What the hell is that thing?! Is that sword made of ice??" One of them said. I just lunges forward and keep on fighting them. Some of them managed to scratch me up. My blood flows down with the rain. I notice demons become more frantic the moment they smell my blood. Is this what it means to be a marechi?
They start to attack me more viciously than earlier. I start to feel tired but I force myself to keep going. If I let my body relax, I won't be able to move. If I allow that to happen, I would die in the hands of these demons.
One of the demon manage to land a kick on my stomach. The impact sends me flying towards the rocky hill. I let out a wheeze as I feel the air gets knocked out of me. I fall on my stomach as I breathe heavily. My sight starts to get in and out of focus, as I struggle to keep myself awake.
This is bad. There's still over 10 demons left around me. If I let myself lose consciousness, they will claim my life. I can't die like this. I've made a promise to Tanjiro that I will survive, and we'll meet again as strong Slayers. I've got to survive!
But I can't fight on my own. Not with my current state. I shut my eyes tightly. 'Someone... anyone. Please help me. I don't wanna die like this...' I prayed in my head.
I'll lend you a hand... a voice of a woman said. My eyes shot open at the sound. I furrow my eyebrows. I look around to try and see who was talking to me. I'm inside your head, kid. No use trying to look for me she said.
'My... my head? How did you get inside my head?!' I said. I receive no respond. She's probably waiting for me to answer her offer. I shut my eyes and shakes my head. 'Alright, whatever. You can give me explanations later. Just, please help me' I said. Right after I said that, I feel a burst of strength going through my vein. I stare at my hand to see aura emitting from it, and the aching pain on my body slowly fading.
You don't need to only use sword for a weapon you know... with your imagination. You can create more kinds of weapons the woman said. I furrowed my eyebrows at what she said. I close my eyes as I try to visualize a different type of weapon.

I watch as a bow starts to form, that is also made of ice. I blink my eyes at the sight.
That's good... now focus to let your aura flow through it. It'll make the weapon stronger the voice said. I grab the string and pulls on it. I focus on letting my aura flows through it, just like the voice had instructed.

My eyes widen when a bunch of arrows are shot at the demons, hitting all of them simultaneously. They let out a scream as the arrows seem to burn them like the sun. Their body slowly turn into ashes.
Great job, kid... the voice said. I let out a sigh as I sit down on the ground, leaning my back against the rocky wall. Now, seems like I owe you an explanation. First of all, my name is Luana. I'm your guardian she said.
"Guardian? If you were my guardian. Where were you these whole time?! Like where were you when a demon attacked my family?!" I said. I feel a sense of sadness. But they weren't my emotion. It must be coming from this voice in my head.
At times, I'm only able to help you when you almost lose consciousness. This is the first time I'm able to communicate with you, Y/N... but that is because you chose to accept my presence she said. My mind drifted back to the day my family got attacked by that demon. I was close to losing my consciousness. I remember feeling confused when I woke up to see the demon is dead.
'That day... when I realize the demon was dead. Was that... you?' I asked, finally realizing what's going on. I close my eyes as a single tear streams down my cheeks. 'You were the one who helped me that day, right? You took control over my body to help me fight that demon. Isn't that right, Luana?' I said.
That is right, my dear... she said. I feel more tears starts to stream down my cheeks. Now it all makes sense. I was protected these whole time. Your parents were aware of you being a marechi. They prayed to the Gods to give you some protections, to keep you safe from the demons. The God sent me and let me merge with your soul. But I'll only able to fully help you when you needed me the most. Today, your plea has summoned me and here I am... forgive me, kid. I wish I could have done more to save your family she said. I just shake my head lightly.
'Thank you, Luana... and I'm sorry for reacting quite negatively a while ago' I said. I close my eyes as my body finally gives in to the exhaustion. My head falls forward as I slowly lose my consciousness. I feel my surrounding turns dark.
