The Pure Who Embraced Hatred

~ Chapter 19 ~ (The One Who Protects)

The sky is filled with pitch black signalling the night with the light from the moon shining around the darkness. Outside the plain dark field stood three figures.

Their appearance seems to be abnormal since the three of them have human figures but their attributes seems to be differ from a normal human.

One of them had strange markings around his body. Another one have a few small spikes around his figure. The last seems normal but have sharp claws at it's finger and walking in crawl.

A few yards away stood a house which isolated outside of a town nearby. The three of them watched the house with predatory look in their eyes. "This one is gonna be an easy one... Right brothers? hehehe". The one with strange markings laughed.

"The house is also quite big, I bet there's gonna be a lot of delicious meat" the one who is crawling also laughed in giddy.

"I can't wait, If there are children in there... They are mine...children's meat are much more tender than the adults hehehe" the one with spikes said feeling excited.

But before they can initiate their ambush, a lone figure jumped and stood in front of them. He just stand in front of them looking at the three of them before he said a few words,

"You demons should leave right now..."

The light of the moon shine above the lone figure and the demons saw a boy stood up alone in front of them. The demons just laughed when they saw him.

"Look at this brothers, a mere brat trying to scare us away" mocked the one with strange markings. But the boy just stood there silently.

Then the one who is crawling started to crawl towards him creepily, "brothers, let me cut him up to pieces and have him as an appetizer for us"

"That's a good idea brother, he seems young. His meat must also be quite tender" the one with spike said feeling his mouth watering.

The boy however just took out a red blade from his back and took a stance. "Owh what's this? The brat also know how to fight..." the demons mocked him. But the boy wasn't bothered by the insult at all.

"I'll make a quick work out of you..." and the crawling demons lunged at him. The boy just stood waiting for the perfect time until the demon is close enough to him.

The demon is almost about to reach him before the boy jumped on top of the demon before spinning himself mid air facing the demon's back. Then the boy instantly decapitated the demon's head off from the body.

"W-What...?" the demon said totally didn't saw that coming before began to turn into ashes. "BROTHER NO!" One of the demon said in shocked.

The boy landed in front of other 2 demons before calmly giving them another chance, "Leave now..." the boy said in calm manner.

"Y-You... YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS" the demon in strange markings said in full hatred towards the boy. "Let me join you brother. We can take him down together and let him die slowly and painfully by eating his limbs bit by bit" the one with with spike said also feeling anger for his lost brother.

Then both of them run at the boy simultaneously unaware that the boy's eyes began to change and muttered silently, "Sharingan...".

The demon with spike run to the boy's left while the other with strange markings run to the right. Their plan's are to corner the boy. The boy however watched their movement with his eyes that have been changed.

Nearing at the boy, both of them lunges at him but the boy saw this and jumped away at the last seconds making both of the demon crashed with each other. The boy gracefully landed a few yards away from them.

Both of the demons recover themselves and look at the boy's eyes, "t-the sharingan... I thought all of the Uchiha have been wiped out 2 years ago" the one in strange markings said feeling worried right now.

"Soo what if he has the sharingan?... He's still a brat" the one with spike said before lunges at him without care. "WAIT BROTHER..." the one with strange markings tries to warn but it was too late.

The boy decapitated the demon in half and did not waste anytime to cut off the demon's head instantly. The boy then just eyed the last demon before telling the demon sternly, "this is your last chance, leave... And never come back"

The demon took this chance and run away into the forest. The boy just sighed before walking away returning to the house. Then he entered his room and find a rag before going out to the back of the house.

The boy then sit at the veranda and wiped his blade that was stained by the demons blood he killed recently. He just clean his blade silently while enjoying the wind of the cold night unaware someone is approaching him.

Then the unknown figure getting close to him spoke up, "(Y/N), Where did you go recently?" asked the figure. The boy who is (Y/N) and turned around facing the figure, "Owh it's you Kanae... I didn't go nowhere actually, I'm just sitting here and cleaning the sword that my father gave it to me from the dust" answered (Y/N).

"You know you didn't have to lie (Y/N). I heard you went out while others are asleep before you return." Kanae said. (Y/N) just sighed before confirming that he did went out. Kanae noticed the rag on (Y/N)'s hand which stained with red color.

"(Y/N)! Is that blood you wiping?" asked Kanae in concern. "Yes, but you didn't have to worry. It isn't mine. The truth is, there's demons outside recently but I put a stop towards them." reassured (Y/N).

Kanae feeling relieved before sighed, "Sometimes, I wish I could help you (Y/N) soo you don't have to be alone by yourself fighting for us".

(Y/N) just smiled warmly, "I am never alone, When I fought, the things that drive me to is because all of you."

"You, Shinobu, Uncle Akio and Aunt Sanae are the reasons I fight until today."

"Even if it means that my hands would have to get dirty but atleast yours would not,"

"Sometimes that's just how the world works. It can be cruel but it is also beautiful" (Y/N) said calmly. Kanae can only feel warmth when (Y/N) said that. How could a mere boy can be soo wise and thoughtful about everything.

(Y/N) then silently went to cleaning back his blade. Kanae then sit next to (Y/N) and watches him do his own business. She looked at him while smiling genuinely.

~ Meanwhile ~

The demon that fleed recently have been running for half hour. There's a few thought running inside his head.

How could he be soo coward running away from a mere brat. He should be ashamed for himself.

He should be avenging his fallen brothers. There's only frustration inside his head. Where could he obtain more power for himself. One way is to consume humans with marechi blood but to find them is hard since they are rare.

Suddenly he heard a voice beside him, "What seems to be troubling you my fellow demon?"

The demon is shocked right now with wide eyes. He can feel himself trembling right now. When he looked at the source of the voice, he could only kneel in front of the person.

The person in front is the progenitor of the demons and their leader itself, Muzan Kibutsuji.

The demon with strange markings is sweating right now, what could Muzan probably planning for him, "You don't have to worry anything, I don't plan on anything for you" Muzan said in reassurance after reading his fellow demon's mind.

Muzan then stood in front of the demon that kneeling in front of him before crouching himself and putting his hand on the demon's shoulder.

"Now tell me, all of your problems..."
