A New Beginning

Demons

"How disappointed I am..." Her red eyes didn't even show a hint of change,"To think you two had taken him out in such a short moment, or was he just weak? I was sure he would be at least strong enough to eat one of you."

She wondered about the demon they had killed.

"Well, whatever."

The lights flickered around them as the woman's blood drained out onto the floor.

Uzui prepared his attack, "First form: Thunder clap and Flash" and in a mere second he had been standing next to the demon.

Not a second before he could cut her neck, a pool of black a appeared around his feet.

"Shit." So that's the demon art.

Uzui leaped back from midair but the hole seemed to have followed around him.

He heard a sound of blades, the next second there was hair wrapping around him and pulling him back into the hole.

"Tengen-sama!" "Uzui-San!" The girls shouted as Giyuu tried to grab Tengen out of the pitch hole. But failed as the demon cut her long hair once more and started to maneuver them towards her.

"Eleventh form: lull." The attacks ceased with a fast movement that even Uzui wasn't able to see, however she had to retreat due to the attack, and in the process let the other hunter get swallowed.

"Get them out!" Was the last thing he said.

Giyuu tisked, but obeyed. She stood still as the carefree demon made no certain movement to attack. Neither was there any other intention in her face instead of one.

"What are you?" Her red eyes were serious, her voice was calm, but for that same reason did it feel threatening.

"Tell me who you are and I might kill you in a merciful way." The hair from her shoulders grew once more until it reached the floor.

"No." Giyuu didn't even hesitate, there was nothing to gain from her name, much less her background.

"We wasted a lot of time with that demon, next time don't just wait for them to finish and kill them when you have the chance" A sharp memory came to mind as he reprimanded a curious butterfly, whose soul was trying it's best to act like the angel her sister was, who she too had also gotten attacked after letting her guard down when they had their first missions.

"At least, I want to give them a small sense of peace."

"That's pointless." They are all going to hell anyway.

Giyuu sighed, "Fine, leave these three behind me alone and tell you." The demon looked around with a scowl. "Whatever, two demon hunters are better than those 3."

"Hey!" Suma yelled but was quickly cut off by the long haired woman in a ponytail, Hinatsuru, who had been holding the last wife.

That... worked...

"Go." Giyuu commanded and the three quickly headed outside.

Once the two were alone, the lights flickered again.

"Where is Uzui-san?"

"How rude you kids have gotten these days." The demon shook her head, "Answer me what I've told you first." She smirked.

"I am Tomioka Giyuu."

"Your real identity dammit!"

"That is my real identity." The words felt out for a moment. She couldn't possibly be talking about...

"I am. Kamado Giyuu."

"Shit."

He had forgotten the sheer fact about those demon blood arts, just when his cultivator had specifically taught him about them for two thirds of his training, he was going to receive a hit or two after that old man finds out.
