It was the middle of the night inside of the training camp. In the forest Tokioka can be seen In his demon form stand in front of two figures who appear to be demon slayers.
"Damn it. I forget to change back to my human form. I would've of attack either way because the can probably feel my demon aura." Blue said to himself. He starts to eye at the two new slayers. The one who used thunder breathing had flat Japanese hair with bangs with the color of yellow, The boy wore the normal demon slayer uniform with a yellow Kimono haroi on his shoulders with a pattern of white triangles. Tokioka's eyes widened knowing who the kimono belonged to and the katana this boy was holding.
'T-That haori. Its Zenitsu's! So this kid must be Zenitsu's dependent or part of the Agatsuma family. But..."
He then looks at the other slayer who was standing next to the new thunder breather. The boy wore a nagagi kimono with a umanori-styled hakama and a uwa-obi around his waist with a Kasa/Straw Hat on top of his head hiding his face. Blue Felt a different aura around him. It was cold yet serious standing calmly not be scared it his appearance. But the thunder breather was a bit intimidated but tried to keep a determined face, Ready to do his job.
"So your the demon that we've been looking for. I wasn't escpending a demon to be hiding among a class of UA Students but here we are. Tell me demon. Why is someone like you wearing a demon slayer uniform being on the side who humans for flesh and blood." Said the boy with the straw hat still standing calmly.
"I can assure you that I have not killed anyone nor threatened anyone. And I dont intend on eating humans but im doing the same job as you."
"Its is true a demon can be good, that is they control their thirst for blood. But the only demon who was able to do that was Nezuko Kamado who was with her brother. But your appearance seems just like another demon. Are you related to the Upper Moon one? Kokushibo?
Tokioka looks at the samurai. His face nearly turns to a readable expression after what he heard that he didn't like. He keeps his face unreadable not wanting words to get in his skin.
"It may be true that im related to Upper Moon one but I have the same job as you to slay him to he doesn't cause harm to anyone. What is it that you have with me?" Blue asked
"We got a note say that a demon is inside the training camp of UA. While doing we felt its arua around the student, so we figured that a demon was hiding among the kids. And that's when we saw you with their teacher. Me and Jin needed more answers to know what was going so we hid undetected by the teacher until it was the right time. That is were the two of us meet you... Now standing before us. says the thunder breather.
'Jin. So that's his name.' Blue said.
"Now we just need to confirm that if you did intend to help the slayers or betray the crops. But something tells me that I have seen you before."
The Straw hat samurai slightly lifts up his head show his left blue eye with a cold stare.
"Are you the one who is shadow fox and also fought the heroes nearly killing them..."
Blue's Eyes widen upon hearing this. How did this boy know about the incident after he quit his vigilante work? Flashbacks of his painful times run back in his head remembering what he did. He gritted half of his teeth knowing what he had done. He already knows that this new slayer his serious when it comes to killing demons.
"I already know what I done is wrong and if I could go back in time i would change what i have done. But i can't. Yes. What i did was no excuse despite the flaws of the heroes and society. However, it damaged my job as a slayer. You only know what i have done but you don't know what i been through.
Slinaces flows around with the three slayers not saying a thing or word until the new thunder breather talks.
"We know what you said is true but we are trying to keep the new slayers in order and there is only a few of us and our families left. We can't be fighting amongst ourselves. let us Just try and work together while we still have the chance of living!" Said Kenta
Blue was about to come to terms with agreeing with Kenta. However...
A blade was an inch away from Blue's neck. Before the sword can hit Tokioka makes a flesh blade as a small wakazashi stopping Jin's attack. The two weapons cling to each other pressuring the other and making tiny sparks fly. While Blue holds off Jin's Blade Jin looks and says some words to him referring Back to what Blue said during his vigilante days.
"It's true that you said that you want to change for the better. It is also true that you regret what you have done to the Heroes along with becoming a vigilante. But you still haven't done anything to change. You're not looking hard enough and you're letting your past affect your performance and skills. Forget about what happened."
Blues eyes widen
"Forget about the past. Put the past behind you and move forward. Show off your true skills. If you want to change for the better then don't tell yourself! Do It!"
Tokioka Deflects Jin's katana and absorbs his flesh wakizashi back in his body Drawing his own sword with his attack using moon-breathing shows off moon blades as he slashes horizontally
"Moon Breathing First Form: Dark Moon, Evening Planace!"
Before the blades and moon can cut off Jin's arm he jumps back over to Kenta. The shadow of the straw hat reveals his face his face show his white skin and light blue eyes with a cold look on his face. Although with his demeanor he was able to get his word to Tokioka.
"You do know that we started this fight... Right?" Said Kenta looking over at Jin.
"I already know that we started this fight. Even if through we saw him as a demon their is some human in him. He's not like Genya Who has to eat demon blood to boost his power. This can turn into a demon thanks to half of his blood."
"Meaning he's a half-breed?" Kenta asked.
"Yes. he is a half-breed. We are not only seeing if he can control himself but we are also checking if he is willing to test himself to do better things for himself."
Kenta looks at Tokioka feeling his aura from where he stands. He can feel it but there was something else behind it. Getting an understanding Kenta gets into a stance breathing and unlocking the seal of his katana.
"I guess there is no point in stopping us from fighting."
In saying all of this the sound of lightning and thunder hits Kenta as electricity and the thunder touch and blast off of him. Tokioka looks at Kenta, He wasn't fazed but feels the power and pressure noticing the differences between Zenitsu and Kenta.
"Thunder Breathing. Unlike Zenitsu who fights while he sleeps this one fights with determination and confidence. Their will is stronger than mine."
Blue draws his sword as shadow energy flows out of the scabbard
"I need to do the same."
Now showing off power Tokioka breathes letting the shadow energy expand and overflow. With the battle starting Kenta makes the first move using sixfold six times in quick succession changing his movements while using the trees. With the help of his demon form and six eyes Blue can see his form and deflect each six attacks. Jin now moves in drawing his sword and reaching for the neck again but gets stopped again instead of jumping away he attacks with swift speed. With speed and power, Both swordsmen parry and deflect but suddenly Jin quickly sends an overhead slash that slices the floor in half with a loud sound of steel.
'That was a fast overhead slash. That wasn't even a breathing style! He changes the blood moving it to his arms and fingers giving himself extra grip and using his willpower with just one stroke.'
Kenta moves in now also slashing his sword coming with consecutive hits. Jumping back Blue keeps his distance and runs at Kenta. Before Blue can swing Jin appears in the air drawing his katana and falls while spinning. instead of jumping back again Blue Duck from the sword but Jin follows up with just a spin and a leg sweep making Tokioka Jump. Trying to keep up the pressure Jin dashes on the ground and jumps spinning again. Unknowest to Tokioka Jin draws his second sword and spins in a spiral like a drill to Tokioka.
'He has shown off his breathing style yet. Slayers can be breathless too but what is the deal with this one.'
Tokioka is ready to swing his sword in front of him to stop Jin's advance.
"Moon Breathing Third Form: Third Form: Loathsome Moon, Chains"
"Jin! Look out!"
Lightning blasted off of Kenya again using a thunderclap sixfold dashing to Jin saving from the moon blades and himself changing his Direction bouncing off a tree into the air. Kenta then throws Jin down to blue giving Jin to do an axe kick raising his leg and foot above Blue making him jump again.
'That was the third I jumped again.'
Jin now Clashes his sword with Blue keeping him in place and giving Kenta the chance to attack using more of the thunder-breathing forms now surrounding him from almost all directions. This the two of them coordinating their attacks as the two try to make openings.
"Thunder Breathing Third Form: Thunder Swarm"
Kenta attacks Blue from all sizes with archs of lighting while Jin backs Tokioka up. However, it barely worked. Still using Moon Breathing the moon blades appear as Blue swings his sword each time. Kenta tried his best to push his way forward and land a hit.
"Shadow Breathing Sixth Form: Shadow Clone"
Next second Tokioka blurs out with runs and swings squeezing through the tight spaces of this swarm.
'His movement his almost unreadable. But what was that style just now? it was faint but you could still see it. So this guy can use multiple breathing styles.'
"It is no surprise that you have a good skill and your movement are on par with a hashira but your demon is helping you keep up. But this was just the start."
Jin dashes still fight head-on with along with Kenta. Keeping his mind strong Tokioka keeps his breathing under control Fighting both of them with inhuman speed turning into a flashing light while clashing with the two slayers. Seeing Jin's impressive sword skills it was going to be a problem, Appearing right before him Tokioka give's him a straightforward kick sending him to the darkness of the forest.
"Jin!" Kenta yells out. Gritting his teeth He dashed at Blue now facing him giving exchanging blows. Colors of yellow and black were mixed because of both shadow breathing and thunder breathing was being used.
'He's good but it won't be enough to get through!' Kenta said using the transparent world and looking inside Blue's body, His muscle fibers were almost covering his chest but for his arms the muscle fibers in his arms were entirely covered moving up to his fingers.
"Thunder Breathing Second Form!"
"Moon Breathing Second Form."
"Rice Spirit!/Pearl Flower Moongazing!"
Kenta preform and releases five arched slashes of lightning while Tokioka lashes out crescent slashes with many moon blades. With the clash of two moves colliding a brace of impact causes the two slayers to get pushed back.
"I haven't faced a demon like you before. Let alone a slayer such as yourself." Kenta said.
"But I'm curious. Where did that breathing style you used against my thunder swarm?"
"I used Shadow Breathing. Its a breath style that I made similar to Mist Breathing. It involves the user hiding their movements and use it for stealth, distraction, attack and speed while changing its form to the user's will." Said Tokioka explaining how his breathing style.
Kenta's eyes widened hearing how this breathing style was like and made. And from hearing one of the old demon slayer's names. Muichiro Tokito, The Mist Hashira.
"Mist Breathing and Moon Breathing. Now There is Shadow Breathing. Something tells me that you are a decedent of Muichiro while also an offspring of upper moon one. By the looks of you, You have the slayer mark but yours is different from Tokito's but almost the same as Kokushibo. Your Demon Slayer mark is on you're top left forehead and bottom right neck near your chein. But instead of having a flame pattern, you have a pattern of crescent moons in the color of black."
"Seem like you did a research of the past." Tokioka joked.
"All demon slayers know the past. After all, it has been passed down from generation to generation, and new need to know what we are dealing with and try to come together in this matter of need. Which is why we need to fight those problems and help each."
Blue sees this new thunder breather differently. Not only that he has great combat skills but it seems that he has some leadership skill that he's trying to work
"It better to face you're problems with someone rather than alone!"
"While i Know that is true. But there are some problems that you shouldn't stick your nose in."
"!?"
Kenta looked at his side to see Tokioka attacking at his rear. Noticing it Kenta takes a stand parrying it but he still attacks spinning with a roundhouse slash of flowing shadows.
*Somewhere in the forest*
Somewhere along the trees the fight can still be headed with sounds of thunder and slashing. But a figure can be seen resting and breathing. It was Jin thinking of what to do.
"That boy has skill. Even with being a half-breed, there's tons of power behind him. I want to hate him but we just met and there is still so much I dont know."
Jin was in the wrong part of his mind. Not know what to think. To even think they're is a slayer who is a half-breed that looks like Upper Moon One surprised him. Flashbacks of Jin show images of his slain family caused by one man. And that man who killed his family was Kokushibo himself. Jin calms down breathing looking at his two swords then looks back at the fight seeing Kenta going toe to toe.
"I see now. If I want to face that demon I need more strength. i need more time and improvement.
I need to be equal to someone."
