Undesired Love, Sweet Revenge

Chapter 4 (An Encounter)

A demon with a demon slayer?! Izumi looked at them in disbelief. Izumi turned around to face them as she sat upright.

One of the boys had spiky dark blue hair, while the other had platinum white hair. Both boys had shimmering gold eyes. The blue-haired boy wore a silver haori and the platinum-haired boy wore a dark blue one.

“Say, what are your names?” Izumi asked, getting up from her chair and moving to their table.

“My name is Takashi Diva, and my brother is Takashi Fuka.” The dark blue-haired boy said.

“W-what’s your name?’ Fuka asked, rather softly and shyly at that. Is he shy or nervous? Izumi couldn’t tell.

His hair was covering almost half of his face, but Izumi saw a slight blush. Fuka noticed Izumi staring at him, and blushed even harder as he wasn’t used to girls.

“My name is Izumi, Izumi Shibuya.”

“That’s a cute name!” Diva exclaimed, “A cute name for a cute girl,” he smiled.

Izumi laughed nervously as she averted her eyes. “Haha, thanks. I get that alot from my hometown.”

Izumi looked at Diva. “Say, what is a demon doing with a demon slayer?"

Diva shrugged, “We’re not all that sure either, we overheard it from another Demon Slayer Corp member.” Fuka nodded in agreement, avoiding all eye contact from Izumi.

“Don’t mind my brother, he is rather shy around girls,” Diva said, scratching his head.

Izumi just smiled, pointing at their uniforms and their sheath at their waist, “So you guys are from the Corps?” Both the Takashi brothers nodded in unison.

Izumi faked a smile, “Can I ask you two some questions?” Fuka answered her this time, “S-sure! Go ahead..”

“What would you do if your own brother was a demon?” Both brothers stared at her in shock, not knowing how to reply.

“I don’t know how to reply that que-’ Before Diva could finish, Izumi probed yet another question.

“What would you do if one of your Hashiras killed him?” Diva kept his mouth shut this time, as he felt guilt rush through his mind.

Fuka didn’t say anything either, as if he was drained of life.

She snickered. Guess I hit the bullseye huh? Izumi stood up and walked towards the exit.

Before she went on her way, she turned around to see the two boys looking at her.

Izumi smirked and mouthed out, “Indecisive brats~” before she walked off.

Diva stood up, wanting to go after her when he felt someone pull him back - it was his brother Fuka.

“Let her go Diva.” Diva in turn shook his head, “Izumi has gone through enough, don’t go after her.”

Diva respected his brother, and at times of these, he was always right. He sighed in defeat and sat down.

Izumi scoffed as she left the shophouse, “Immature, they don't even know what to do in the circumstance.”

Not knowing where to go next, Izumi headed for what looked like the sea.

Upon arrival, she sat by the coastal lines , looking up at the stars. “If only Izaki-nii could see this…” Izumi sniffed, on the verge of tears as she was reminded of her deceased family.

She held back, putting on a strong front. Crying isn’t the solution, it’s not gonna solve anything either.

Izumi let out a sigh, Let’s start by taking my mind off things.

Smiling to herself, Izumi stood up and took off her haori, placing it down gently.

After taking off her shoes, she walked by the coast. Soft, warm waves washed against her feet as the cold wind blew against her face. It was rather chilly, but Izumi didn’t care.

Against the illuminating glow of the moon, her sheath glistened softly under the moonlight.

Izumi came to a sudden stop as she still felt a heavy weight against her chest, so she decided to shout all her worries.

“Damn you Demon Slayers! You don’t even know what it feels like!”

Izumi continued on shouting, without realising that someone was looking right at her from afar.
