It has been a year and now I am 13 years old, almost hitting the 6th month.
I have been summoned to the demon slayer corps by Ubuyashiki Kagaya.
Travelling there took me at least 6 days. To reach there, I had to ask my crow for directions to Ubuyashiki Kagaya.
Wearing the same clothing expect now I wear white fingerless gloves. I have also gotten red highlights in my tied up ponytail chestnut colour hair, matching my black and red-tinted eyes. I still wore the same mask from a year ago too.
Walking up to the place the members gave me, I push it open to see 8 other people waiting about.
‘Huh, I wasn’t informed of other people…’
I step in and close the gate behind me. Looking about I caught a look of the same pinkish hair I saw a year ago talking to a black hair boy.
Walking over to the two, ignoring the others I place a hand on him.
“Hey Sabito-san and Giyu-san.”I smile under my mask.
My voice caught their attention and they turn around to see me up to their height,165cm.
Sabito gasped, “Haru-san is that really you?”
“I haven’t seen you for almost a year!”Giyuu joined in on the conversation.
“Gald to see familiar faces here.”I chuckled nervously.
“Though I wonder why we were called here for?”I look around.
“Eh, you don’t know?”Sabito replied.
“No?…”
“Master Ubuyashiki Kagaya is here.”Two voices called out.
Seeing how everyone lined up and bow in a kneeling position, I went over to do the same thing.
“Greetings my children.”
‘Children?’ Pushing aside my confusion, he continued to speak.
“I have summoned you for an important factor today”
They all look up at him.
“Does it have something to do with her?”A male spoke up, though sounding polite I can hear the rude tone directed at me.
“Yes,Shinazugawa Sanemi.”
‘So this guy’s name is Shinazugawa Sanemi?’
Ubuyashiki Kagaya continued, “We are here today to see if Haru Hino, the last descendent of the Hino clan is willing to become a Hashira.”
“Eh?”I was confused as to why he wanted to do so.
“She has completed 50 demons kills, confirmed by her crow, Kasai.”
“As much as I like to, I am only 13 years old are you okay with that?” I question his decision.
“If the others question your power, they can face against you.”
I sweatdrop at that thought, ‘Please no…’
“Hah! I will face her! So what if she killed 50 demons?!”
I groan at him wanting to face me.”Any rules?”I got up, dusting the dirt off my uniform.
“1.A knock off blade is a loss.
 2.Blade broken is a loss.
 3.Person unable to fight is a loss.”
I sighed and drew my blade. I turn to Ubuyashiki Kagaya, “is it okay if I destroy the place a little?”I smile sweetly at him, eyes closed.
“Go ahead, dear.”
I turn my head back to him.
“Good luck.”I vanish when I spoke.
‘Such speed!’The other Hashiras thought.
I appear before him, kicking him in the stomach and launching him into the wall.
Loud crashes can be heard among the demon slayer corps base.
“It will be a shame if your katana broke, why not give up?”I smile as we exchange blows, taunting him.
“As if! Wind breathing,Second Form: Claw-Purifying Wind!”He lifts his sword and slashes it down at me.
Noticing the air has changed, I had to defend myself from the attack.
‘lava breathing,third form: Molten Lava Dome.’
I stab the ground. A yellow-red circle appear around me and fresh hot magma rose to tower over my body in a dome-like shape. The magma quickly cools to shape into a dome.
‘Such heat…”The other Hashiras were sweating due to the sudden change in the air.
The slashes of wind came down onto the dome.
‘lava breathing,fourth form:Raging Lava Waves.’
The ground in front of the dome began glowing red too.
As the dome above me cracks a little, the ground rose up and down like ocean waves, creating a huge wave of magma, tall as a building to come crashing down on the wind Hashira.
His eyes widened,”Wind breathing,Ninth Form: Idaten Typhoon!”
He backflips into the air and while upside-down, unleashes a powerful gust of circular wind that slashes the lava wave apart, dispersing it.
“Oi oi That almost killed me!”I can feel his anger from inside the dome.
I sweatdrop,praying’Oh heavenly father,please let me live.’
“Are you going to kill me if I break the dome down?~” I ask in an innocent tone.
“Oh definitely.”He replied in an instant.
I sigh, “Master Ubuyashiki Kagaya, please tell him to back off.”I pouted, “It’s getting stuffy in here and I prefer to get out alive!”
He held back a chuckle, “Shinazugawa-san that should be enough to say she’s capable of becoming a Hashira no?”
“Tch, fine.”
Hearing that,’ Lava breathing,second form:Magma Chamber Pierce.’
Moving into a hanging upper left sword position, I dash towards the wall, tip of the sword began glowing hot red, breaking the dome in seconds.
As the dust settles, I have already sheathed my katana after flicking the leftover magma from the tip.
“So Hino-san, do you accept the role of a Hashira?”
I ponder for a minute or so before agreeing.
He smiled,”Welcome Lava Hashira.”
