        WALKING THROUGH a forest in the middle of winter wasn't the most ideal situation for most people, including Yukina. Yes, she does use the Breath of Winter, but that doesn't mean that she's not human. Even though she was freezing her ass off, having only her training clothes and her self-made haori to keep her warm, she had trained herself to find the environment most suitable for her breathing style. It also kept her warmer than staying one place did.

Welcome to Yukina's Breath of Winter Class! Today we'll go over all seven forms of Winter Breathing! (note : the Homura family had no knowledge of her practicing these moves)

Breath of Winter

1st Form Arctic Flurry Strike simplest form, consists of a multitude (1-4) of light, but painful strikes to multiple parts of the body, the blade is so cold that it almost freezes the part it hits causing extra damage

2nd Form Blizzard's Wrath the user takes a running start towards the enemy, striking upwards and causing the enemy to become airborne before landing back on the ground

3rd Form Avalanche much like the Breath of Water's 8th Form, Waterfall Basin, the user cuts the enemy vertically

4th Form Hailstorm Slash 2nd fastest move, multiple slashes (1-3), more powerful and wider than the last

5th Form Icicle Thrust the tip of the blade becomes deadly and causes a frostbite-like reaction throughout the body, rendering the enemy frozen, the blade can freeze the user's forearms due to the blade's temperature

6th Form Deathly Silence fastest move, a move made especially for demons. the user moves so fast that the demon doesn't even see or hear them before it neck is cut in one powerful slash. it takes most of the user's energy and requires a lot of focus, preparation time is around 3 seconds

7th Form Numbing Chill a chest slash that numbs the enemy for a solid 5 minutes, ideal for interrogation, if not careful, the user can numb their own arms.

        Yuki tightened her grip on her grandfather's sword, its blue sheen glowing in the moonlight. She let out a heavy breath, becoming stiff at the sight of her breath in front of her. She hugged her haori closer to her body as she struck down a tree. Using the Flame Breathing techniques she was taught back at home, she created a fire for herself out of the logs she cut down. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to leave at this time.

        No.

        There's no time to regret, we can only look forward.

        She hugged the now sheathed sword to her chest and fell asleep, resting her back on a tree and preparing herself in event she needed to fight a demon.

        In all honesty, when she had originally thought of running away she had imagined herself finding the nearest village to rest and get directions from. Instead, here she was, running away from a family of boars like her life depended on it. In her arms she had a small sleeping boy with a boar mask on. He seemed to be about the age of seven. Which sparked the question:

        Why the hell was he sleeping with a bunch of boars?!

        I mean, yeah, she was out living out on her own in the wilderness while she was like, ten. But at least she stayed with her family for the majority of her life. Maybe this kid got lost or something. Yeah, that was probably it. She prayed to herself, hoping that was the reason why she was being chased by animals for the sake of this kid.

        .

        When she managed to get some distance from them she jumped up into a tree and wrapped the practically naked boy in her haori. When she inspected him further, she found that he had a a loincloth with his name on it.
