"Goodnight g-giyuu."

I whispered, trying my best not to wake you sanemi out.

"Goodnight."

A monotone voice said in response.

How am I going to get to sleep, The cicadas are so loud here.

I turn over to look at giyuu's sleeping frame.

His hair is pretty. It looks soft

I turn over again to look at the ceiling.

It's so dark... well it is the middle of the night it's not like the sun would me up anytime soon. There's probably demons outside.

I slowly sit up, contemplating weather I should go outside or not.

On one hand it's pretty dark around here, but at the same time I'm bored. I'll have to sneak out... last time i did that with ani-san, it didn't go too well. I'm stronger now, it will be fine.

I get out of my blanket, and slowly tippy toe to my nichiran blade. picking it up, I made sure to not hit anything with it. I walk over to the door, about to open it.

"Where are you going."

I turned around, only to see giyuu sitting up and staring at me.

"I- uh nothing I-I just wanted air."

I said in a whisper, making sure not to wake up sanemi.

"Why do you have your blade then?"

"J-just in case a demon comes a-and attacks me!"

We awkwardly stared at each other for a bit.

"Okay... just come back."

I nod, though he probably couldn't see it because it was basically pitch black. I open the door, the moonlight seeps into the room.

The air is so cold, I might freeze. Oh well.

I take a few steps outside, just taking in all the trees and plants around me.

I could go into the forest, or I could see what else this town has. Well the first option would help everyone be safer but I'd be in absolute danger with it being so dark. Or I could go look at the other buildings here and not put myself in danger, but it wouldn't help anyone... I think I sh-

"Girl, what are you doing out so late"

I jump at the sudden sound, looking around I see an old man carrying bamboo on his back.

"I- Um i-I'm just getting some a-air."

"There's demons out here you know? You'd be a prime target for some of them."

Of course I know there's demons out here, it's my job to kill them.

"Y-yeah I know I-I'm a demon slayer, s-sir"

"I see. Well instead of just standing around maybe go inside, or perhaps help me carry this bamboo."

I- what? I mean I don't want to be rude so I should, he's also old so it's probably hard for him to carry.
