Chapter 11: "Die for me"

Y/N POV: 

On the side of the path, I am wandering were little blue and white dots. On a closer look these color patches were little crocus which blossom in the early time of the year. The forest seemed alive again after the cold winter.

The mountains I had to reach were about an hour away so this mission should be done soon. Even if the path wasn't that far I have learned from former incidents, not to waste my stamina before going into battle. With that in mind my pace slowed down a bit.

I felt the need to be extra cautious while nearing the mountain. Without information I could run into anything up there, it was only logical to assume that there could be a trap or something like that. On my way up I could not detect anything, my movements were precisely and fast, not daring to make a single sound.

As I got higher up I found someone lying on the ground right in front of me. He layed there motionless and seemed like he was unconscious. But the smell which lingered in the air around here told me that the life of this youngling must had vanished not too long ago. Even though it might be cruel to not even invest him a little further I continued my mission. It might be possible that he isn't the only victim and that I could be able to safe someone if I don't waste any time here.

Like an assassin I slide through the branches high above the ground. Slowing down every few meters I got closer to my destination. The sounds of a fight were already audible and my presence should be hidden as long as possible. A surprise attack would be the fastest and safest way to get out of here alive with the other demon slayers up here. Some screams triggered my body nearly forcing it down the trees and safe the souls there. But I still wasn't even near enough to see my enemy so my mind controlled my body more than my instincts and I proceeded to sneak up to the battle.

Finally close enough I saw some low ranked demon slayers fighting one overpowering opponent. The fight was one sided, the demon wasn't even trying. He just stood there blocking the hits thrown at him. It looked like a dance just evading and dodging.

I recognized him instantly. His head twitched a little, his form completely still suddenly. His pink hair was turned toward my position, it swayed lightly in the wind. His head was now slowly turning around till his eyes were fully on my form.

His face spoke nothing. He looked at me like he never saw me. But his calmed stance told me otherwise, sensing no aggression or caution toward me was enough to see that he hasn't forgot.

*He noticed me... What else did I expect?*

It was too late for my super surprise attack, which I never planned by the way, I was too focused on my spy on mission. But now time for a free style action.

I jumped down from my position in between the two fronts. My comrades behind my back, Akaza in front of me. My hands were raised to the left and the right to block the way for an attack of any kind.

"Get off this hill you low ranks, otherwise this is your deathbed."

The shuffling and mumbling indicated that the message of my command was understood. Every one of my crop members ran away and left me alone with the demon.

"So we meet again." I began to speak.

"I made my decision to fight you like every other one of your kind. So please die for me now." A little voice crack was in the last sentence I hope he hadn't heard it, I need to stay strong.

My feet carried me towards him slowly, while my hands took ahold of my both blades. Determination glimmered in my eyes.

I guided both my swords to the right side of my body and whispered: "5. Form: Skeleton Flash". Dark smoke appeared behind me forming a skeleton with a scythe. I dashed forward to my enemy both my blades aimed for his neck, with the smoke scythe guiding them.
