The slash of a sword causes her eyes to squeeze open, and a face peers over her. She immediately shoots up and looks around, relief filling her chest when she sees the demon turning to dust on the soft, snow floor. Her teeth begin to chatter as she looks around for the hero that saved her life. 

She's greeted with the smiling face of a girl, a very pretty one at that. She has long hair tied in 3 messy plaits, and it was an unusual colour match- green and pink to be exact. As she holds out a hand to help (Y/N), she sees her breasts exposed in her uniform. She shakes her head and immediately jumps up, bowing at the woman.

"Thank you so much for saving my life!" She exclaims, causing the girl to giggle slightly. She feels a hand on her shoulder, and she sees the woman smiling down at her.

"There's no need to thank me. I'm only doing my job, and I saw you needed help" She says sweetly, and (Y/N) cocks her head in confusion. Her job? She scans the lady up and down, and sees the sword on her hip paired with her black uniform. That's when the realization dawns on her. 

"Y-you're a demon slayer!" (Y/N) says, shock laced in her voice. Everything hits (Y/N) all at once, and she sinks down into the snow. Her family...was gone. And she almost joined them. Acid like tears begin to streak down her face once more, and a sob escapes her lips. The demon slayer panics and sinks down to her level, wrapping her in a hug.

"Are you hurt? What's wrong, sweetie?" The slayer exclaims, holding her in a motherly like embrace. (Y/N) sniffs and breaks away from the hug slightly.

"Please train me! I want...I want to avenge my family! I want to grow strong, like you!" (Y/N) yells all of a sudden, causing the slayer to jump slightly. She knows how desperate she must have sounded, but she knew what had to be done- she had to work hard so her family could be at peace. She hums and places her hands on her face, her green eyes softly scanning hers. Sighing she stands up, holding out a hand for the young girl

"Are you sure that's what you want? It's a tough job, and you're putting your life at risk" She says sternly as she helps (Y/N) off the cold floor. (Y/N) grits her teeth slightly, and she nods her head. It was now completely pitch black, and the slayer pulls the girl towards her protectively. The atmosphere is tense for a minute, before she speaks up.

"If...if that's what you wish. Come now, let's get out of here" She says softly and the two begin walking. That day caused so much pain, but it was the start of her revenge.

¬ 2 years later. During this period, (Y/N) completes a series of harsh training courses with the help of the Love Hashira. She comes to accept her families death, and she strives to better herself as a person. ¬

(Y/N) sighed as she looked in the mirror, adding the final adjustments to her person. She had her katana attached to her hip, and she had made sure to pack lots of food. That's the perks of being trained by Mitsuri- she was an absolute glutton, and she always made plenty of food. She was now 15, and she had matured a lot mentally since she started her training. That's what trauma like that she endured does to you, I suppose.

Over the past two years (Y/N) had learned all the breathing forms she needed, Mitsuri had taught her to use Love Breathing, and it had helped her a lot along the way. Taking a deep breath she leaves her room and heads towards the gates of Mitsuri's home. 

Mitsuri was stood with a smile on her face, and her hands were clasped together.

"You look so professional! You're gonna kick some demon ass!" She giggles, causing (Y/N) to shake her head. She was used to Mitsuri's playfulness by now. She takes one last look at the girl before pulling her into an embrace. (Y/N) melts into it straight away, and she hums. Everything about the woman was maternal, and she couldn't be more grateful for what she had done for her.

"Thank you for everything, I'll make sure to make you proud" (Y/N) murmurs against her chest, causing the Pillar to ruffle her hair. 

"Don't be silly, you've already made me proud" She grins as she pulls away from the hug. She quickly checks that the girl has everything she needs before pushing open the gates. (Y/N) takes a deep breath, and she sends Mitsuri one last smile. 

"Here goes nothing" She whispers, and she steps out of the gate. She hears Mitsuri cheering behind her as the gate closes, causing her to chuckle slightly. The hot sun beams down on her as she begins her journey, and she tries to swallow her anxiety.

"C'mon, (Y/N)! You can do it. Just focus on your breathing" Mitsuri yells from the bottom of the hill as she sees the h/c haired girl emerge in the distance. This was the first part of the training. She had to climb all the way to the top and bottom before daylight broke. (Y/N)'s thighs burned as she struggled down the hill- pain shooting up her body. Her face was scratched up, and she could feel blood trickling down her knees. But...she had made it. A huge grin makes it's way to her face as she spots Mitsuri jumping up and down at the foot of the mountain. She had completed her first task.

(Y/N) giggles at the memory as she walks. She had been walking for about an hour now, so she shouldn't be too far away. She was honestly weary at first when she started training with Mitsuri. Yes, the girl was an extremely strong and talented pillar- but she was goofy at times. Footsteps break her out of her thoughts, and she furrows her eyebrows. Surely she should be the only one on this stretch of road- after all it was opened up specially for the Final Selection.

She turns around to try see the source of the footsteps, and her e/c orbs widen. A masked figure sprints towards her, and she could hear his muffled scream.

"What the hell is that?" She asks herself, jumping out of the way to avoid his headbutt. Due to the jump she stumbles, and falls flat onto her butt.

"Ouch!" She hisses as she lands. That was definitely gonna bruise later. Luckily her food and sword had survived the trip, so she was at least thankful for that. The masked figure stands in front of her, it's chest heaving.

"What the fuck are you?" She asks as she scrambles to her feet. She hears a chuckle emit from under the boar mask, and it leaps at her and knocks her on her butt once again.
