"CAW CAW! East! East! Yuki Akihara! East!"

God, my crow was really annoying. I wanted to kill him, but I was given the crow at Final Selection. I needed him for messages.

"A demon with stripes on his body has been spotted east! Head east!"

Stripes on his body? Sounds like an easy detail to remember. "Alright, Makio. I heard you loud and clear," I said in an annoyed tone as a result of hearing him screech alot when I was trying to relax.

I started heading east. I kept repeating the detail in my head. Stripes on his body. Stripes on his body. It was an easy detail. If I saw a demon with, quote "stripes on his body", that's the one that Makio tells me about. I see a figure on a giant rock. I assumed it was a demon. But, because of how high he was on the rock, I couldn't tell whether or not it might've been the demon I was looking for.

He spotted me and jumped down with his fist aiming directly towards me. "Ice Breathing Sixth Form; Winter Whirlrwind!" I said. I managed to slice his arm off and he backflipped 9 meters away from me. I managed to get a better look at his appearence, and I saw dark blue stripes on his body. He's the one that Makio talked about. "Stripes on his body... That's you, isn't it?" I said.

His arm regenerated. "You are correct. And I must say, nice blade and technique you used just now. It's very impressive and strong. I assume your techniques are similar to that of Upper Moon 2, correct?"

"Upper Moon 2?" I said. I saw the writing on both if his eyes. They said "Upper Moon 3." I've only encountered non-moon demons.

"Oh, I see. You've never met a Twelve Kizuki, have you? Well, technically, I'm the first one you've met so far. Isn't that such an honor for a demon slayer like yourself. So, what's your name? Mine's Akaza," He said.

"Yuki Akihara," I replied.

"Yuki.. That name means 'snow.' It matches your skills. I know, you should become a demon like me. You could be useful to that man. If you refuse, I'll have to kill you," He said.

"I won't become a demon. I will ever become one," I said.

"Alright, have it your way. Blood Demon Art, Destructive Death, Eight Layered-Demon Core!" As he said that, shockwaves began coming towards my path. I have to act fast, quick. "Ice Breathing Nineth Form; Iceburg Shield," I held my blade in front of me and it managed to deflect the shockwaves from hitting me.

"She deflected my technique!" He thought. "Blood Demon Art, Destructive Death, Annihilation Type!" After he said that, he lunged right at me. "Ice Breathing Nineth Form; Iceburg Shield!" I held my blade in front me me again and it successfully blocked his strong attack. "Ice Breathing Sixth Form; Winter Whirlwind!" I slashed his body but I missed his head. "Dang it!" I thought to myseld. He jumped back and his wound healed itself. He showed an extreme amount anger in his eyes directed towards me. "I'll kill you, you little piece of-"

He stopped speaking when he notices that the sun began to rise. "Crap! I gotta get away from the sun!" He thought. He jumped and started to run away from the sunlight. I was exhausted. I didn't feel like dealing with anything right now, especially the sound of my crow.

~Later (2 Hours Later)~

I was resting in a small hut that someone offered for me to rest in because of how exhausted I was.
