12; the crow and the boar

a/n: considering kny is now set in modern times there will be changed to character backstories to be a bit more realistic. Such is the case with Inosuke.

Goto and Oikawa soon left the area, both accompanied by a demon slayer. Karasu was careful not to smear her blood on them as well so they wouldn't be a target and gave them both wisteria scent packs to deter any of the more weaker demons.

Meanwhile she doused her bandage hand with a sort of liquid that she had her ally make. It was a numbing sort of medicine that also smelled of wisteria, it was to mask the scent of her blood.

"Hopefully it'll heal sooner thanks to Tamayo's medicine." Karasu muttered to herself as she turned and approached the kakushi.

"Are they all properly tied up?" She asked tilting her head as she stared at the demons in the truck. They all stared at her, eyes filled with hunger and thirst, even if they were sedated they had near animalistic sense as they drooled. It was almost off-putting but she had learned to get used to the effect of her blood on demons.

The crow haired girl ignored the feeling of being stared like a piece of meat as she addressed the other demon slayers and kakushi.

"Let's wrap things up, the cleaning brigade will be left here to clean up the mess, accompanied by a few demon slayers for their safety. Make sure all the blood has been cleaned up, and the body parts are gathered to be disposed of, even if their limbs disintegrate by the sunlight we mustn't be sloppy." She instructed them. They all nodded, as the kakushi worked faster. They had brushes and bottles of bleach and one had a hose hooked up so they had water. The demon slayers were on guard in case any more demons showed up.

Karasu hummed the crows had already left, flying in the sky as they also patrolled the area with their bird's eye view.

"I'll be heading off now with the others to deliver the demons to the mountain." She announced clasping her hands as they all said "Hai / be careful Karasu-sama."

She'll be following on her bike while a kakushi and demon slayer would be driving the vehicle. The mountain used for the final selection was also in Miyagi, more though deep in the mountains, the land having been bought by the Karasu family, guarded by cameras and wired fences to keep civilians out.

She got on her bike, Fuu and Rai were probably resting now. She mentally checked off the list in her head. Capturing demons for the final selection exams was something very dangerous, not only could they get hurt by the demons but civilians could notice them. Hence why she had to make certain protocols.

She chose areas she deemed to have a higher demon population and lowered it by capturing the demons to be used as fodder, it was like killing two birds with one stone. To ensure that no civilians walked up, she well.. may have had to drug them with Tamayo's Blood art. Of course the Kakushi don't know about her alliance with a demon, they knew not to ask so they didn't have to be incriminated and honestly it made everything a whole lot easier. Tamayo just asked for blood samples every now and then.

So once the civilians in the area were drugged and put to a deep sleep that lasted till dawn, they got to work. It often started with her injuring herself and spilling her blood. Her blood was probably the most intoxicating blood the demons have smelled, it made them feral, lose all their senses and self control. They went out of their hiding, running to her as if trying to devour her. She used herself, simply put.

Why wouldn't she after all? It's not like the wind hashira who was also a marechi would willingly assist her, and she'd rather not deal with his shitty personality. Shinazugawa loathed her, perhaps because he put Kagaya on a pedestal, and her being 'rude and disrespectful' towards the man made him hate her more than Giyuu.
