Abnormal Being [Kimetsu no Yaiba]

11

"Yokina-san!! Where did you gone off to last night!?" Yokina sweatdrops at Aoi who's her caretaker now.

"I, uh, went to Master's mansion." She responded.

"You need to ask for permission first okay? It's not like you won't be given permission anyway."

Yokina pouted, "but I was bored and couldn't affort to wait anymore." She whines.

"Stop being a child! Geez, you're so handful."

"Eheheh, I am ain't I?"

.

"Demon Slayers' Marks eh? Fumu fumu, I see.." Yokina nodded listening to the explanation about the main objective the Pillar trainings do. "That's good. Do your best then!"

Tanjiro and Zenitsu stare blankly at her. "Wait, that's not the kind of respond we're expecting!"

"Eh? What kind of respond are you looking for?" Yokina tilted her head confusedly.

"Something like," Zenitsu tries to impersonate Yokina, "that sounds fun! I wanna join too!- like that?!"

Yokina blinks, "eh? That sounds a pain in the ass so no." She shruggs. "And I'm a demon y'know, I can't possibly-" she cut herself off when she remembers something.

Realising the sudden silence Tanjiro asks, "Yokina-san?"

"Hmm.. well perhaps even a demon can use marks.." She mumble out, remembering her demon tutor, Kokushibo. "Geez, that's not a pleasant memory.."

The two males had a question mark.

"It's nothing important. Anyway, you should just continue those Pillar trainings~ Do your best." Yokina evaded the topic.

Tanjiro lightly pouted, "Is that so? Well if you changed your mind and want to join please do so okay?"

"Yeah yeah, see ya~"

.

Yokina fidgets once in a while. She looks at her lap, licking her lip. "This is getting heavy.." She sweatdrops, peaking to the front at every eyes staring at her.

"Well, Yokina-chan is different from Nezuko-chan who didn't have her own will before and the other demons who eat humans. We're just fascinated such demon exists." Shinobu gave a smile, hand leaning on her cheek.

Yokina sweatdrops, "that's utterly bullshit." She is right now in the presence of the Hashiras. She did want to properly let herself known. "Anyway, let's start from the beginning shall we?"

"Just get started." Sanemi Shinazugawa, the wind pillar, which has the foulest mouth from all of the pillars. He already showed some annoyed expressions toward Yokina.

"Please do start." The stone pillar, Gyomei Himejima told calmly.

"For starters, my name is Yokina Luminoso. I am a demon." She started. "Well, I've been affiliated with the demon slayer corps for around 400 years, and I don't use any breaths style although I know the Breath of the Sun." She trailed off.

"Hu--"

"Oh right, what kind of things do you want to know about me?" Yokina cutted off Sanemi's comment and continue on, "If I kept on rambling of my past, I doubt you'll all listen properly.."

"You--!"

And she cut him off again, "Although I do not know of Muzan's whereabouts as well,, but there's a possibility he'll come soon since he told me to come back the other day.." Sanemi's getting irked.

"How come you know the original breath, the Breath of the Sun?" The love pillar, Mitsuri Kanroji questioned.

Yokina hummed, "It's because when I first escaped from Muzan, I was saved by Yoriichi. Uhh, I believe he's known as the first creator of the breath styles now?" Chaos erupted.

"You were saved by that Yoriichi Tsugikuni!?"

"What was he like?"

"What kind of person is he?"

Yokina sweatdrops, "ah yes yes, he's so famous.." She ignores the nonstop ongoing comments. "Err, he's a bit like.. hmm.. Giyu perhaps?" Every eyes turns to Giyu. "But not exactly. Yoriichi's humble and a calm person. He also rarely shows any emotions." She starts describing her saviour. "Though he did showed some sadness to Sumiyoshi and me..-" she starts remininscing the past.

She shook her head, "anything else?"

Muichiro Tokito raised his hand, "then what kind of fighting style do you use?" He's the mist pillar, who's usually the silent type.

"I can fight with basic martial arts, and I fight using double guns and two daggers." Yokina told, revealing her weapons. "Of course the dagger and bullets were made by Nichirin blades."

"How can you ensure us you won't turn sides with Muzan later on?" The serpent pillar, Obanai Iguro questioned while glaring a bit.

Yokina starts to feel uncomfortable, "uh well, of course there's nothing for me to prove loyalty since you all practically just met me. But I do hate Muzan with all my might." She raised her voice, "he stole my twin, that's unforgiveable. He also turned me into a demon for his own use.."

"B-But, no matter how much I hate him, I can't get stronger. The last time I met him.. I can't even fight back." She bit her lower lip, "I'm just a coward, weak demon." She gripped her hand together looking down. "I actually never wanted to show myself to others except for infront of Master. But since it came to this, I have prepared myself to be hurted by you, member of the pillars who won't accept me nor trust me."

She bows down, "I do hope to be accepted fully as a part of the demon slayer corps', but if most of you does not accept me, I will gladly be slayed or used by you all." She did the dogeza, voice unwavering, determination fully shown.

The 8 pillars who's there looked at each other. "So that's how it is. Which side are you taking?" Shinobu started, "I'm on the side who supports her by the way." She gave a smile.

"Me too." Giyu told.

"As do I," Uzui Tengen, the former sound pillar told. "I've already believed in Nezuko after all."

"I still don't like the sound of demon on our side." Sanemi glares.

"I couldn't care less." Muichiro commented.

"W-Well, I don't think Yokina-san lied so I'll support her!" Kanroji replies.

"I belive in your words Yokina Luminoso." Himejima told.

"And that's 5 people! You're in." Shinobu pats Yokina's back.

The girl gave a smile of gratitude. "T-Thank you so much..!"
