the way of the eclipse

you're different

It's been a few months since the trial honestly I stopped counting. Luna has been acting distant lately and has spent more time training and anything else sometimes she doesn't even come for dinner or lunch. "All she says is "I'll be fine it's only a few meals missed" or "you worry too much you need to chill out". I was watching my face when I realized it's about time I should cut my hair it's getting a little too long. I don't know why I just never liked my hair long. The only reason why I noticed I needed a haircut is because my front bangs were getting in my face more and more. *When the fox sounds I don't know* "oh hey there boy you got a mission for me?" I said take the letter out of my Fox's mouth. exactly what I thought it was a mission in some village. I guess the haircut would have to wait. I went and knocked on yuzu's door  she opened it rubbing the sleep away from her eyes "sorry to wake you but do you have a clip to hold my hair back I don't have time for a haircut right now" I said scratching the back of my head "you can borrow my hairpin" she said quickly grabbing the snowflake pin from the side of the dresser then coming back to the door "are you sure I thought this was special to you?" I asked "I'm sure you take good care of it" she said placing it into my hands.

"Thank you" I said as she shut the door. I took my front bangs and pulled them back taking the pin in my other hand and pining my hair back it will work for now. I grabbed my sword which had been fixed a few months ago it looks like an umbrella at first glance but if I take the pole of the umbrella and pull it out it's a blade with jagged edges that worked much better with my breathing style it also helped me blend in. I walked out of the estate waving to Luna as I walked by the training she didn't even knowledge me. Maybe she's just busy I told myself.

*Time skip brought to you by the police officer looking for tengen*

It didn't take long to get to the village, to me at least. I got there around sunset. So I just waited out the sun until it was night then I went on my hunt. I have been searching for a few hours nothing this demon was good at hiding themselves. No one was outside at this time of night so it would have been easy for me to spot the Demon. I jumped on the roof of the building and looked around from there getting a better view of the town. then I saw someone who looked like a demon I can only tell because there skin was so pale to your point where it was white. Quietly I got closer the closer I got the stronger the aura it was stronger than any lower  Moon I've ever faced. From where I was I could tell the demon has white skin long hair in a ponytail that was burgundy color and he's wearing a black and purple kimono ensemble. He had a sword at his side maybe an ex-Slayer he looks kind of like the doll of the first Sun breeder we had

"Come out Slayer" he spoke in a deep calm voice if he knew I was there there was no point in hiding anymore. I landed on the ground behind him he turns his head a little bit and eyed me he had six eyes the middle ones read upper moon 1... He looked me up and down then spoke "couldn't see you because of how short you are but I could feel your presence you're strong" he said turning around all the way I took offense to the height comment "you couldn't see me look I know I'm not particularly a tall person but I'm not an 8-year-old, I'm a cool 5,6 thank you very much. you could see me" I said to him in a angry tone the aura around him was horrifying but I'm not known for chicken and down and if today is my last fight so be it. I take my umbrella and pull on the stick unleashing my sword and setting the umbrella bit down "what a interesting blade" he mumbled loud enough so I could hear it "what's your name Slayer...." He asked "... Tsukuyomi Tsuki, the eclipse pillar" I said. I know I wasn't officially a pillar but I had golden buttons on my uniform and I was qualified to be one if one retired or died. So technically I am a pillar "very well then Tsukuyomi let's begin this battle" he said unleashing his sword it had flesh and eyes all over it but I've seen worse "Moon breathing first form:Dark Moon - Evening Palace." He said as crescent moons flung at me I dodged these easily, but I almost got hit by one at the end "eclipse breathing 8th form:
Spirit Dance"

I swung my blade with such force so the wind power generated  acts like an extension of the blade and could use it for long-range attacks I was able to put a small gash in his arm but no serious damage "you're strong you're one of the first layers that's ever even put this much of a wound on me, I'll spare you for now Tsukuyomi wish to see you again soon" he said and he disappeared instantly I was shocked I just survived a encounter with an upper Moon not to mention upper moon one. No he wouldn't just leave me here he's waiting till I'm off guard he has to be I wait around all night I went back home tired and as soon as I got in my room I fell asleep on my futon.
