A demon or a slayer [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter 2

The sound of footsteps were loud in the peaceful night.

A furious chase was taking place in a forest in which a demon had marked as his territory. A girl with dark hair and red tips wearing a bamboo muzzle was hiding behind a tree. She was wearing short leaf pattern linen dress that seemed to be cut out of a kimono due to the dress having a checkered sash. A dark haori was covering her sleeveless arms, and a pair socks that fully covers her legs were woren with slippers.

"You stop right there!"The moment she heard her brother's voice she jumped infront of the beast they were chasing, and delivered a kick to it's neck. While it was distracted her brother decided to end it, a torent of flame cut off the head of the demon leaving it's body to crumble to ashes.

"Good job, Nezuko."A hand went through her hair, and she leaned into it. She heard the sound of a sword being sheathed, and she looked at her brother properly. He was wearing loose hakama pants, a clothe tied his green checkered haori around the waist, and he wore a black mask of sort that covered the lower half of his face.

"We didn't have to use blood demon arts, saving us in energy."She hummed agreeing with his statement, and started following in his lead to their next target."We still need to collect blood from stronger demons, Tamayo-san is counting on us afterall."

She hummed remembering the nice lady and the boy that helped them a year ago. The sound of a crow startled her out of her thoughts, but her brother kept his cool and a sad smile appeared on his face. "We wasted too much time. We better get going, knowing them they will immediately try to kill us."

A nod was her answer before they started running away. She eyed her surroundings, looking out for anything out of place.

"The sun will be out soon. We should hide."

"You're right. We should probably head to Mount. Natagumo too. A little bird told me a twelve demon moon has marked it as it's territory."

She sped up following her brother as closely as possible. "Let me guess, a real little bird told you that."

"Of course!...Is that a problem?"She giggled behind her muzzle, the idea of her brother crouching down to speak to a bird painting itself in her mind, making her giggle more."What's so funny?"

"Nothing nii-chan."

"Okay."

The trip to mount Natagumo was not that troublesome, avoiding demon slayers and the sun was the issue.

Demon slayers and the sun posed the same threat to the Kamado siblings.

A threat to their life.

It was the duty of all demon slayers to kill demons. So they couldn't find it in them to be mad, and the sun was still a memory of when they had their father by their side.

Tanjiro wore a stray hat over his head, covering what is left of his skin to avoid the burning of the sun. Nezuko does the same, but she adds a trasperant fabric to it.

Eating is of no use, and so is drinking. They can only sleep, and keep moving. One uses a sword, the other their fists, they both know their goal and shall not stop until it's reached.

Nezuko usually wears a mask, but hers was recently destroyed. They haven't gotten a chance to renew it yet, so the muzzle will do for now.

"I smell blood. We are close."

The mountain was a show not to show to children, bodies were hanging from different places, all were missing body parts.

"This is horrible."They made their way through the forest of corpses, the smell of living people guiding them to the fight.
