Y/n Pov

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The morning after shinobu taught me about the corps and how wisteria poison works ( i learned her name), i started my training to become a demon slayer. I was told that she already had one tsuguko, Kanao, i think her name was. I was going to meet her today and i think she is a bit older than me, at 12 years old. 

The second i woke up in the morning, i felt excited to start training. I was genuinely surprised that i was feeling that way but i guess my emotions acted on their own. The previous day, Shinobu had given me a training outfit i needed to where while i trained with her. It consisted of a sage green top and dark green pants. (like kanaos for final selection except different colors). She let me pick which colors i wanted. i picked green, since it has always been my favorite color ever since back home. I got up and out of my bed and changed my cloths to the training outfit that she laid out for me. I put my hair in two braids like i normally did and brushed my teeth. Then i head out of "my" room attempted to find my way out of the long halls. i was surprised myself that i still hadn't figured it out even though i've been there for more than a week. probably because most of the time i was just sulking in my room. I eventually found the exit and made my way outside to find shinobu and that other girl with the side butterfly i saw around the mansion occasionally. That must've been kanao. I walked towards them. 

"Good morning, y/n. Today we will be starting training so you can become a demon slayer, but before we begin, i'd like you to meet someone."

Shinobu said as she looked towards kanao who stared at me with a small smile. Her smile looked as if there were no emotions behind it. I didn't think that much of it though. I looked towards Kanaos direction.

"Kanao, this is y/n, and y/n, this is kanao."

We both exchanged silent greetings to each other, neither of us saying a word each other and yet our silent gaze still got the point across. Shinobu smiled softly at the two of us.

"Without further delay, let's get started!"

she shinobu said as she put both hands together by her face as she gave us a warm, close-eyed smile. She then started explaining the importance of being strong and flexible before you start using breathing or fighting styles. She gave me and kanao some separate exercises to work on. Kanao did more advanced exercises because she was more advanced than i was. Shinobu had me start by doing stretches and then conditioning. My body was definitely not prepared for this kind of stuff since before i came here, all i did was play in the forest all day. I still tried my hardest to do the best i could. After i finished all of those exercises, she told me she needed to test my stamina. I nodded as i waited for her to tell me what the test was going to be. She told me i needed to ran around the mansion with kanao. She told me i would probably not be able to catch up right away but to just try my best. I nodded and before i could process what was happening, kanao and i were already on our way around the butterfly mansion. Surprisingly, i wasn't to far behind kanao as we ran. Before i knew it, we were finished the test and i was huffing and puffing from the long run. I looked over to kanao who seemed to be breathing heavily but it was barely noticeable. Was she not tired? I wondered to myself. 

"Good morning, shinobu, kanao, y/n."

A soft and airy voice said in the distance. I immediately recognized the voice as Lady Amane. I turned my head to see Lady Amane and two of her daughters walking in the path that lead out of the entire estates. It looked like they was heading somewhere. 

"Good morning, Lady Amane"

shinobu said as she bowed in respect to her. she gave her the same soft smile she always did to both her and her daughters. Amane smiled back. 

hello

I said in a quiet voice. what was it with this woman that makes me talk around her? her voice perhaps?

"hello, y/n. i see you've started training"

she answered as she turned to me with a smile. i nodded

"where are you heading to?"

shinobu asked curiously as she looked as if she were about to take a long trip

"Good question, shinobu. I'm going to visit 2 twin boys up the mountain. About a year ago, their parents died and they've been alone ever since . I've came to check on them every now and then. I think their names were Muichiro and Yuichiro. I believe they're good kids."

Amane replied. That was the first time ever i heard of Muichiros name. Little did i know at the time that i'd spend the rest of my days with him. 

"really? that's sweet of you, i wish you safe travels"

shinobu said respectfully. Amane smiled and nodded. she started to walk down the trail again.

"happy training!"

amane said as she continued to walk alongside her daughters.i still remember the image of them walking in the distance while surrounded by pale green trees as the sun was a quarter across the sky. It's something i won't forget. I continue to do more conditioning after that. 

Time skip....around 1pm......


I was exhausted. I was tired. I was thirsty. I didn't think training would be this hard to do. Shinobu was mercilessly giving me the worst possible exercises she could. Kanao looked as if this was what she went through everyday. i just wanted to lay down. That was something i never said before. i was about to give up when i heard a shout in the distance.

"get a medical bed ready! hurry!"

i turned around to see lady amane and her two daughters carrying a young boy with long black hair that faded into turquoise. there was blood on his clothing and he looked badly injured. shinobu eyes widened as she rushed over towards the butterfly mansion to prepare for the injured boy. i made my way over to help or investigate what had happened. 

what was going on?
