---

Several days have passed since your trainings and today came the day when you were finally going to become a slayer. 

You thanked your master for all the help he had given you and then gave you a sword. "Do your best Y/N and you too Inosuke" he says, watching us go far away. You waved to him and looked forward as you walked with your friend. 

You : Aren't you scared for later ? 

Inosuke : I FEAR NO MAN ! 

You : You know... We're not fighting people, but dangerous demons who can kill you without any pity.... 

Inosuke : Seems fun, I CAN'T WAIT TO CHOP OFF THEIR HEADS HAHAHA ! 

You watched your friend hop and run in every corner of the forest possible. 

He really is a moron...

***  

Once you've arrived : 

In no time you found yourself covered in blood, covered with bleeding wounds and then the worst of all you were no longer with Inosuke, because he had disappeared somewhere... You were so relieved that your sword was still there for you. You had managed to cut off a few heads while remaining hidden in the high branches of the trees. After all, the important thing was to stay alive and try to find your friend. You jumped to the ground and small gravel scraped your knees. "Argh I'm really not going to stay alive if this continues!". You decided to find a safer place, where no demon could find you and finally rest to heal your minor wounds.  

You made a lantern using the natural materials found nearby, then enchanted it with your happiest memories. Its role was to radiate waves to camouflage your smell of blood and illuminate the place.  

" y/n~ "whispered someone. You waited and ignored it, because you thought it was the tiredness you gained from the combat.  

" y/n ~" it called again and this time you raised and shouted " All right! Who's playing tricks on me ?!"  

" Finally, you decided to accept the fact that I'm trying to talk to you! " The little voice said as something started glowing right in front of you. 

It was a girl, she had gorgeous hair and a cute little face. You were actually thinking that she was kinda young to be a slayer... 

You : So you're a ghost ? 

Spirit : In some sort yeah, I guess you don't really remember me after all...  

You : OH I KNOW YOU ARE THE GIRL FROM UROK- Erm no it's just a legend after all... 

Spirit : No you are right ! I am Makomo and I died a longgg time ago.

You : Don't get me wrong and all, but THIS IS MY FIRST TIME TALKING TO SOME CELESTIAL SPIRIT ! ARGHHH !!! 

Makomo : Oi ! Don't panic, I've visited your friend Tanjiro while he practiced and I can tell you is that he is a promising young man ! His sword techniques are very advanced and I know he will be very powerful once he will master some breath techniques.

You : Wait, is Tanjiro here ?!  

Makomo : Yes, but I came here to heal your wounds and be your guide. From now on, I took the choice to accompany you everywhere you go and if you need my help, I'll always be by your side. 

You : Huh ? But why ? AND HOW ARE YOU GOING TO HEAL MY WOUNDS IF I CAN SEE-THROUGH YOU !  

Makomo : Miss y/n I need you to stay cool or you will end up discovered. I couldn't go very far from the giant rock near Urokodaki's house, but now you are the one who summoned me by your memory enchant. You thought of me while making the lantern right ? 

You : Uh.. Well yes, sorry if I disturbed you... 

Makomo said it was nothing and healed your wounds. She explained that she had always wanted other adventures, so having you around made her very happy. She announced that only you were able to see her and maybe Tanjiro, so you should be very careful if you want to contact her in public. 

Can I teach you something? She asked nicely and of course why not let her advise you. 

She said: Firstly, you really suck with your katana. 

" HEYY WHAT'S UP WITH THAT ATTITUDE ?!" You obviously were very irritated by her remark, but she wasn't wrong. Yes you could kill a demon, but the weapon wasn't feeling natural in your hands.  

She looked at you for a period of time and then made a certain hand gesture. What was she doing? And then it hit you like a giant wave. You were not made for a close combat, but rather from a distance since all your enchantments gave you the advantage of hiding from enemies. 

Makomo : I picture you well with a bow miss Y/N ! 

You : Sounds great, but what I'm gonna do with my sword ?  

Makomo : You'll learn through p.a.i.n.  

Damn that little is a savage you said to yourself, but again she wasn't wrong and indeed you needed to progress in your fighting skills. Makomo created an arrow bow with her energy and then gave it to you. "This is not a common weapon, so be careful not to lose it anywhere. Besides, try not to draw too much attention with it or you will be in trouble". The bow she gave you beamed with force and it wasn't really a texture you expected. It was like a hologram or an illusion except that you were able to use it. Once your hand was placed on the handle, an energy link had came around your wrist to stabilize your shot.  

" Is it possible to kill demons with this?" you asked and she nodded " yes "... 

Y/N you are going to have to develop your inner energy and work even harder than now. "To kill a demon, I planned to unite your saber and your bow, so that the unique ore that constantly absorbs sunlight could transform itself in arrows" Makomo explained. 

" But t-that's impossible" you said not convinced.  

" You decide if you can make it, Y/N you are way stronger than you imagine. All my hopes to defeat Muzan are you" She said.

" Makomo be my guide then" you said as you smiled at her.
