Desire and Despair

"HELP"

Suddenly the tiger girl jumped down and came running towards us.

The tiger girl had big ears and a tail, she game running towards us in a lightning speed.

We saw her being chased by a hideous looking creature.

Wait, creature....?

It has to be a human using their ability or something, but it just seems inhuman.

"It's a monster, help" the girl cried out.

"ATSUMI" Atsushi screamed out, worried about his little sister.

"Give me your blood, give me your blood" that thing giggled.

Atsumi 'the tiger girl' quickly his behind me and started spiting nonsense.

"Eat her, not me. I know that I am pretty and she is ugly, but ugly things
belong together after all" she pushed me forward, I stumbled and fell down.

I glared at her, but soon my attention turned to that thing that was coming my way through shadows.

That thing is only going through the shadows and not showing itself to the sunlight.

"...a demon" I exclaimed.

"Demon snow" Izuku called out to his ability.
"Slash that.... filthy thing" he did not waste any second to come to my aid.

That thing then screamed "blood demon art"

Suddenly there was fire in the deck.
"Crap" I exclaimed.

"W-what is happening?" Atsushi looked conserned about what the hell ever is seriously going on.

"How would I know?" I irritably questioned him back.

Atsumi left his brothers grip and went near a dark area, deprived of the sun light, thinking that it was safe there.

"AHHHH" she screamed again.

"RASHOMON" I used my ability to snatch her out of the dark place.

I saw that damned demon glaring at me.

"Eww get away from me. Don't touch me with this stupid ability of yours. I know, you are the one who is doing this to me aren't you? You are jealous of my beauty and me.
You are jealous that Dazai likes me more don't you?" She started blabbering.

"Oh wow" Kyouka exclaimed
"She changed her demeanour in less than a second" he narrowed his eyes.

Me and Atsushi sighed in the same time.

"You filthy. You human shouldn't be able to do such a thing - you-you are a hashira, aren't you? What the hell is an hashira doing here?" The demon but his own hand.

"Yup, that's a demon, alright" I said happily, with a smile that was very rare for me to show.

"Nee-san.....you don't mean-...." Kyouka didn't finish his sentence, he just eyes me, and I nodded at him.

"What-what are you guys talking about?" Atsushi felt left out.

I let Atsumi go to her brother's side and started.

"I..."

"MOM....DAD"

I wasn't always an orphan. I didn't live in the slums from the biggening.

No.

Not only me but Gin too.

Me, my little sister Sumi and our parents, we all used to live happily, but our happiness didn't last long, as
our parents were murdered by a demon, in an unfaithful day.

We were saved by an hashira. He was so big and strong.

....or that is what our parents gave us.

I didn't want ot live at that place because it was dangerous for us. I wanted to protect my little sister Kanae so I somehow got out of that place with her.

We were actually adopted by a wealthy merchant, but turns out that the wanted to use us for some unspeakable things.

The way Gin's kimono was forcefully being taken off. I stabbed him on the gut and took her hand and ran and ran and ran to no end.

That was the first time when my ability manifested in me, it was a gift that helped me....but it also took away a lot from me.

I used to pickpocket. Crossdress for safety reasons, and steal food in order to survive.

We moved to some other place where there were no demons who would kill humans, but humans who would kill each other.

We made friends in the slum and smiled and laughed.

But that too stopped, when they died.

It all started with a gun.

On that faithful day I met a demon, with a human disguise.

Back then Gin always used to take care of my well being.
After my  training with Dazai was completed, I used to get back home bitter and battered.

She always used to get worried about me.

I didn't tell her anything about how cruel that man has been to me and I don't intend to either.

Dazai is a good manipulator. He manipulated my little sister to make me suffer even more.

I have no idea why he hates me so much.
