The Hunter With Change: Rebirth.

The demon mine

{Demon mine raid}

A crow loudly calls out to a red haired man below.

"CAW! CAW! MESSAGE FOR TATARA SATO! CAW! CAW!"

The crow drops down, leaving two letters for Tatata.

"Thank you."

Tatara grabs the letters and opens the first one.

"Dear big brother. I hope your job is going well! Hunting demons and all! I hope you're safe. Make sure you say hi to Haruto and Token for me! Please stay safe big bro and don't be afraid to visit me. It's been a while! I've made a couple of new friends in the home I was placed in! Safe travels,

Love your little sister Yukki."

Tatara tears up as he closes the letter. He opens the second letter, his face becomes serious as he reads it.

"Tatara Sato, you have been summoned to join the demon slayer raid on Mount Ogura."

THE HUNTER WITH CHANGE.

REBIRTH.

Book one: Shadows.

The demon mine.

March 20th

In a dark cave two demons stand on an abandoned mine rail. "What have we been called here for?" The first demon shows himself, his eyes reading "LOWER MOON SIX". The second demon shows himself as well, his eyes reading "LOWER MOON FOUR". "Aren't you a highly ranked demon? Someone closely related to lord Muzan?" Another demon in the darkness of the mine speaks up, shrouded in the shadow. "Yes, I am very close to Muzan." The two lower moon exchange glances before six speaks up. "So why do you need us?"

"The demon slayers have discovered this mine and suspect demons on this mountain. My colleague is here to do some cleaning up. I'm supposed to help defend this place while that happens but I have other things on my plate. You two will defend the mountain with your life in my place." The voice from the darkness speaks out again, his voice echoing in the mine. "Understood" lower four nods his head in agreement. "Woah woah hold on. I never agreed to be your servant. I agreed to help but we're doing all the dirty wo-". A trident flies out from the darkness, interrupting lower six. Before he can even react a massive gushing slash appears on lower six's neck. He quickly covers the cut as he kneels down. "Don't talk to me like that. You should know your place." The trident flies back into the darkness. "If you guys survive I'll put in good word for you two. Lower six's neck begins to heal as he breathes heavily. "Fine..."

Okaya

"Is everyone alright?" Odataki asks everyone, recovering from the aftermath of their fight with Toka and the stalkers. "We'll be fine." Takeshi replies. "Just wish Jigoku made it..." Yuri responds. Everyone looks down at the ground after hearing this. "Me and Sumire are fine." Token replies. "A little winded, but I'm good. How are you Kawame?" Haruto replies. "I'm fine" Odataki. replies.

Everyone stands in silence by the lakefront. Yuri and Takeshi look at each other and nod. "Haruto, we need to talk to you." Takeshi says. Haruto looks around and sees Odataki standing off, looking away. Token and Sumire relaxing in each others presence. "Kawame, come with me" Haruto says as he walks towards Takeshi and Yuri. "Sure... are you sure it's okay that I'm here?" Odataki asks the group. "It's fine. We trust you." Yuri replies.
