Mizuki POV 

The time spent with the remainder of the Tsugikuni family was a pleasure.  But things have started to happen where I started to decided where I would have to start my own adventure out into this demon slayer world.  Where one, I would possibly come into contact with a demon and  die.  Or I may just be alright and continue on as a slayer.   

But at this moment, I lay down staring up at the ceiling as I take deep breaths and focus on my total concentration breath.  'It's been quite the time spent here.....'  I say inside my head as my mind wanders.

I think back to the training I've received here, starting off simple with the exercises and training with the sword.  To the next months of training where I had to fetch water from the river almost everyday, to later learning concentration breath on my own.  Where I have not only practiced on stretching my limbs out but stamina as I has started to run laps around the neighborhood as part of my routine.  To as going out of the house and town to the next village to grab supplies at times with Michikatsu.  Where this trip would take a while but I would be able to see things outside of the town and house.  

The area where I had gained information from my time being here is that this village where we reside in is a decently standard village, but smaller compared to the other where we get other supplies.  But also as to the day an age, all dirt roads of course with wagons and regular manual labor that was needed instead of modern day technology. 

Without the modern day technology like where I came from, the lack of supplies and knowledge as well, as I have seen from doctors that have come to treat Michi-san.  Along with the expansion of villages.  Thinking back to the anime, they were decently advanced, having already being influenced by the western advances, using technology and western clothes. 

I take another deep breath as I focus on the other training I've done.  Still late in the night, I would go inside Yoriichi's little room, to sleep at times when I'm too tired to go back to my room when I train late in the night, trying to create my own breathing technique. 

But I still haven't been able to create one where I could create the style.  I sigh out as I still continued the breath.  "I've been at that forever now and I still don't know how to do it or how I want the style to be."  I mumble to myself as I get off my floor and make my way outside, to start my late night practice. 

As I step out of the house and walk outside to the back room of Yoriichi's, the cold breeze of the night ruffles my dark brown and purple hair.  I enter the little room and pull out a wooden sword which I have kept here for training and shut the door as I walk back outside.  

As the breeze blows and I hear the ruffling of the wind. I feel my body relax and rock with the wind.  I look up into the night sky seeing it illuminated by the thousands of stars that twinkled under the sky and the bright moon that shined brighter than the stars. 

I smile gently as I look up at the moon.  'Michikatsu is like the moon and Yoriichi is like the sun.'  I think to myself as I chuckle lightly remembering their styles which surely represent themselves.  'Michikatsu stern but bright in his own way, only at times you can see his brightness and talent that he holds for swordsmanship.  Yoriichi, even though he is quiet and reserved.  He has the warmest and kindest personality.  Yoriichi shines bright even though he doesn't practice swordsmanship, but till that moment it was like he had so much energy.'  I thought to myself as I let my mind wander. 

I continue to look up at the sky and see the stars twinkle all across the sky.  I chuckle lightly without much sound, "If they are the sun and moon, twins who are opposite, the stars that in between the them, which shines along with the moon, but is as bright and hot as the sun."  I mumble quietly.
