(Y/n)'s Pov

We were on the road for a day and a half. We finally reached our destination, but we had to wait until nightfall. We decided to get a quick bite to eat before deciding what to do.

"Okay, we need to decide what to do. Should we split up? No, that's to risky, we have a better chance if we stick together. It will be safer, and we can watch each other's backs in case things were to go south." I said as we tried to think of a plan. I had a bad feeling for a split second, but pushed the feeling aside.

"That's a good idea. We should focus on staying safe. Besides, I want to see you fight." Mitsuri said. I could feel my face heat up. We sat and waited a few hours before the sun started to set. We started to make our way to the forest. We saw an old man who warned us about the forest, but he stopped when he saw our swords. He then just told us to be on guard.

We stepped into the forest and we drew our blades. I held my (f/c) nichirin blade in both hands, ready to strike. We started getting attacked by demons, but we were able to do them in without even using forms.

"So you created your own breath style, Mitsuri?" I asked, curious about her breath style.

"Yes, it's based on the breath of flames style. It's a style only I can use, due to the way..." Mitsuri started, but she covered her mouth before she could finish.

"Due to what? It's fine if you don't want to talk about it, but I won't think less of you for it." I said.

"Okay, I trust you to keep this a secret. I was born with a different body structure. I'm a lot stronger than a person with a similar build." She said, slightly embarrassed.

"That's incredible! No wonder you're so strong." I told her.

Mitsuri's Pov

'(Y/n) doesn't care about my insane strength? He's perfect! I think I'm in love with him.' I thought to myself. Just as I finished my thought, I felt an arm wrap around my waist. I was lifted into the air and slammed back down. I felt the wind get knocked out of me.

"Mitsuri!" (Y/n) screamed out in concern. I tried to get up, but felt a sharp pain in my leg when I tried to.

(Y/n)'s Pov

I watched as Mitsuri was hoisted into the air, then slammed back into ground. I saw the demon that had hurt Mitsuri. It looked like a young adult, with a blood-red kimono and two bloodstained horns. It licked it's lips before speaking.

"Finally, fresh meat."
