The beginning of change

the mission

Douma’s pov

Douma waved his battle fan lightly in his face as he hid an obvious smirk behind it.
“Come on akaza dono!~ let’s go together master muzan did put us both on the same mission for a reason!” Douma whined, putting his fan back into its holster as he gave akaza a well constructed “sad face”.
Akaza rolls his eyes.
“There is no chance in hell I’ll be going on a mission with you, you fucking psyco!” Akaza shouts, giving Douma a hard glare.
“Akaza dono, don’t leave meee!!” Douma exclaimed as akaza leaped off into the darkness of the woods.
“Oh whatever i guess I’ll go find myself some food then..” douma sighs, walking off in the opposite direction of akaza.
Half an hour later he ran into a tiny demon slayer that reminded him of a pretty butterfly.
Her hair was dyed purple at the tips and strown up by a large butterfly pin.
She seemed to be quite formidable but nothing he couldn’t handle.
He will admit she was extraordinarily fast which impressed him at first when she managed to materialize behind him silently.
Douma simply killed her with his battle fans, destroying her lung.
“Well.. that was fun while it lasted!” Douma chirped cheerfully.
Suddenly he felt a strong icy aura and almost immediately guessed who had decided to come and join him.
“Kokushibo dono? My apologies, was this your prey?” Douma asked, pointing to the dead girl.
Kokushibo remained silent momentarily.

Kokushibo’s pov

How unfortunate one of his best chances at finding the demon slayers headquarters had been ruined by the stoic upper moon two.
For a while now kokushibo had been following this hashira back to wherever she had come from to try and locate ubuyashiki.
“Kokushibo dono? My apologies, was this your prey?” Douma asked, pointing one of his shining fans at the fallen hashira.
Kokushibo remained silent as he didn’t know how to respond.
He was so close to finding ubuyashiki.
“No.. she was not” he replied in his usual monotone voice.
“Oh ok.. well kokushibo dono, do you want to stay and hunt with me-“ douma cut off as kokushibo vanished into thin air.
Of course he had to run into that idiot.

Kanao’s pov

Kanoe watched from the side as her sister was slain by an uppermoon two the exact same demon who killed kanae, her other sister.
She was in a fit of rage as she ran quickly back to the hashira’s headquarters to inform them of the matter.
“Kanoe, your back early from your mission what happened? And where is shinobu san?” Aoi asked, kanoe just rushed past her and hurried to ubuyashiki.
She was trembling from sadness and rage unable to cry as she looked deep into the eyes of the master.
“Oyakata sama.. uppermoon two killed shinobu- nee san right before my eyes he was accompanied by uppermoon one” kanoe explained.
Shinobu had always wanted kanoe to call her nee san and so she would make an effort.
The masters smile dropped suddenly.
“This is terrible news.. i pray her soul rests in peace and I’m terribly sorry for your loss kanoe chan. I’ll send a squad of hashira to try and take them down. You should go rest up” the master said in a serious tone.
“N-no..” kanoe stammered.
“I-i wish to accompany the hashira and fight the members of the twelve kizuki. I don’t care if i die i-i have nothing else to live for..” kanoe explains her body trembling again at the thought.
“Kanoe.. if that is truly what you want I can not stop you but do know the corps appreciates you greatly as a strong independent member. I pray you make it out alive, my child.."Ubuyashiki said in a low tone with a small smile on his lips.
“T-thank you.. master” kanoe bows her head in gratitude.
“You will accompany Sanemi Shinazugawa, Mitsuri Kanroji, Iguro Obanai and Gyomei Himejima (I don't know how to spell his last name😊)

Akaza’s pov

Akaza scoffed, “I can't believe I am on a mission with that actual loser. Hopefully lord Muzan won’t mind if I ditch him the entire time” Akaza muttered.
“What was that? Uppermoon three..” a feminine voice asked from behind him followed by the sound of unsheathing metal.
How had he let someone sneak up behind him? Why had he let his guard down?
Akaza spun around to see a small women clad in a butterfly haori.
Her hair faded from black to purple at the tips.
The strangest thing about her had to be her katana she wielded.
It resembled a broken blade. How could one use that to behead a demon?
“Go back home, women! I don’t fight girls” akaza exclaimed as he turned and begin to flee.
He could never bring himself to harm a women it would literally destroy his sworn oath.
Akaza’s eyes widened as the girl giggled and ran after akaza with extraordinary speeds.
She managed to stab him in the shoulder; he had just assumed she missed his nape.
Why was she stabbing instead of slashing like a regular demon slayer.
“Thanks for your concern but just because I'm a woman doesn't mean I can’t or shouldn’t fight,” the girl states.
Akaza grits his teeth; she must be a hashira that would explain how she managed to sneak up on him.
Akaza just bolted away from her as she gave him a strange smile and stopped chasing him.
A nauseating feeling hit his stomach as he stopped running once he got far enough away.
His body began to shake as he collapsed onto the ground in the middle of a forested clearing.
