The Human That Remains

Chapter One

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

********************

Her orbs stared at the abandoned village. It was a beautiful town. Lights that lit up every corner, food stands that handed out tasty treats. It was almost like the Red Light District. Full of sex, murder and such. It was chaos in other words. But when you stand on top of the engawa at the Setsuna household on top of the hill, it was an amazing sight.
But that ended years ago. The lights no longer lit up the town. The smell of tasty treats are replaced with rotting foods. Death was in the air. The smell of blood hovered over the abandoned town. Buildings were rotting away, shards of glass rested on the floor. The only person who remained was a girl with beautiful snow white hair. Spinel pink orbs that shined under the moonlight. She was a peitie girl with pale skin. She wore a bandage over her left cheek. Blood coated her hands and face. Her long tan shirt had blood splatters on it.

Two bodies lied behind her. One male one female. The woman had long black hair with pink eyes. She was a tall woman, curvy much like the girl with white hair. The male had black hair with a bit of facial hair. He had milk chocolate eyes. A couple of scars on his cheeks. He was a tall man very built too.

The young girl turned to stare at their bodies. She made her way back inside and packed up everything that ever belonged to her. She left the Setsuna household not turning back. Before she left the town she ran into a house that belonged to her grandmother. In a jewelry box was a necklace, there was a vile that had blood in it, tied to the rope. The blood was from a strong man. He was in the Demon Slayer Corps back in the Sengoku Era. The necklace was passed down for years. The last person to have it was the girl's grandmother. Her grandmother explained to the young girl of who the blood belonged to. And she told her the exact same thing each of her ancestors have in the past.

The man said. "When I pass on, please take some of my blood and put it in this vile. I want a part of me to be around for when Muzan Kibutsuji dies." Now it's her turn to hold on to the necklace. The girl placed in around her neck and left the town taking a few other things from the house. She moved house to house finding supplies that would be useful to her.

The small girl aimlessly wandered around villages and cities. A few months have passed the girl would rest in the corners of dead end alleyways. She would find old blankets in trash bin and use them for warmth. No one paid any attention to her. No one asked if she needed help, and she never asked for help. Her feet were covered in blood from walking on the cold, hard ground. She was outside of the village the laterns were beginning to fade away. The sun was setting behind the mountains. The trees brushed against each other when the wind gingerly blowed.
The girls feet ached, her snow white hair was in tangles. Dirt and mud covered her pale skin. Her long tan T-shirt tore at the seams, the shirt that once reached her knees were now at her thighs. The girl grew more paranoid as the sun fell. Her eyes looked in every direction. Every sound that was made, wpuld make the small girl jump.

"Well, look what we have here. What's a girl like you doing out here?" The voice was from a female. The small girl looked around. "Up here, child." The small girl looked up and saw a woman with long black hair and ruby red eyes. The girl took a couple steps away from the tree. She set herself in position, ready to run away. "What, are you afraid of me? You don't need to fear me." The tone in her voice was sickeningly sweet. The woman dropped from the tree. She stood at five feet and seven inches. She toward over the small girl. The white haired girl stepped back a little more. The woman took a couple more steps.

'I'd fight her, but I don't have anything that will protect me from a demon. I can't even use my powers I'm too exhausted.' The girl thought. 'I'll have to run for now.' The girl ran away from the demon as fast as she could. The demon was weaker but she was still fast. "Come back! I just want to be friends!" The woman laughed.
The woman sliced at her back only for her nails to break. 'What? My nails broke?' The woman looked at the girls back only to see crystal shards appear from her back. 'What the hell? I could have sworn she was human.' The girl created a crystal armor around her fist. She turned towards the demon and punched her. The woman's jaw ripped right off. 'She tore my jaw off.' The girl managed to lose the woman for a while. The girl left the woods. She was now walking down a dirt path.

She looked back towards the woods checking if the demon was anywhere near her. She bumped into something that was kind of hard.
She turned her head and was faced with a purple and black checkered kimono. He wore black hakama pants that was tied with a white piece of cloth. Her eyes landed on his skin. It was very pale looking. He had a muscular build, he was really tall compared to the petite girl. He's about six feet tall with long sliky black hair with red ends. His hair was up in a high pony-tail. But what stood out to the girl was his facial features. He had three pairs of eyes. They were a deep shade of red and yellow. His middle set of eyes had a marking that read Upper Moon One. He had red markings on his face that looked like flames.

He stared down at the young girl before him. 'I don't have enough strength to take down a member of the Twelve Kizuki. And I certainly won't be able to out run him either. Maybe I can distract him long enough to escape.'

"Hello, Mono."

"How do you know my name?"
