CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
Y'all need therapy after those chapters. And, cough cough, chapter twenty-six cough cough
I mean what?
I'm not being suspicious, what do you mean?
"Sir, would you like to-"
"These swords are forged by my own two hands...."
"Um....please come inside-"
Aya was currently stood outside at the crack of dawn, the sun just making it's way through the forest. Leyona was still asleep inside the estate, Kanao was on a mission, and Naho, Sumi, and Kato where helping with breakfast, which Aoi was cooking, which left Aya to answer the door.
"You see, each sword is crafted by a special recipe that only I know..."
"That's great sir, but I'm sure Aoi would set aside some breakfast for you if you came inside WAH!" Suddenly the man's face, or clown mask, was inches from her face.Aya wondered if it would rude for her to back up, just a tiny bit, for some breathing room. "Come along now child, I want you to open these sword as soon as possible!" With that, the clown-faced guy grabbed Aya's wrist and dragged her into the estate.
Why me? Aya thought as she dragged into the estate.
Waking Leyona up was always a struggle, and it usually started with Aya trying to gently shake her awake to the triplets beating her with fly-swatters.
It was the same this time.
"Gah! Fuck you!" Came a shout from their shared room, and a very angry Leyona came storming out, still wearing her night clothes and a pissed off expression.
"It's dawn, why the hell am I am awake?" Leyona asked, and the clown-faced person's head shot towards her. "Are you Leyona Esaki?"
Slightly confused, and still half asleep, Leyona nodded. The clown-faced man proceeded to run over to her, grab Leyona by the wrist, and drag her over next to Aya, which, if you know Leyona by now, being dragged by an unknown person does not fly well with her.
"Hey! What the hell?!" With that, she grabbed the man's hand and tore it off of her, before proceeding to punch the guy in chest. "Leyona! Relax will you! He's here to deliver our swords!" Aya was soon trying to hold Leyona back from murdering the swordsmith.
After that was sorted out, much to having Aoi's help restraining and explaining to Leyona what was happening, Aya began to apologize over and over again until Kanao told her stop with that,and eventually it calmed down. The swordsmith didn't wait a second, he shoved the swords into their hands and said 'Open it, open it!' Over and over again, like an excited child.
Aya nervously smiled as she unwrapped the paper, revealing two curved swords. "Your swords were very hard to make!" The swordsmith then stopped and stared at the sword as it turned maroon.
Silence fell over the group as Aya and the swordsmith stared at the sword. "DAMN IT! I WAS HOPING IT WOULD BE RED! WHY WASN'T IT RED LITTLE GIRL?" He then proceeded to lunge towards Aya, only stopped by Kanao stepping in front of her student. "Please step away from my student."
The swordsmith gave off the aura of being irritated, then turning to Leyona. "You! You better give me a red sword!" He shouted, pointing to the girl. Kanao sent him a withering look.
"And if I don't?" Leyona shot back. The masked man simply looked at her, the threat clear.
The two just kinda stared at each other intensely as Leyona's sword slid out of the packaging, and both watched it turn cyan. "Would you look at that. Not red." Leyona said with mock cheerfulness, quite clearly trying to piss the swordsmith off.
It worked.
"AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" With speed that only the fasted Hashira could wish to match, the man lunged towards Leyona, tackling her. "HEY! GET OFF ME! HOW OLD ARE YOU ANYWAYS?!"
"I'M THIRTY-SEVEN!"
It took Kanao, Aya, and Aoi to pry the swordsmith off of Leyona and took them, Naho, Sumi, and Kiyo to keep him from strangling Leyona.
They waved the man off afterwards several death threats if they broke his sword or if anything happened to the sword, all the while Leyona mouthing 'fuck you' as he went down the road.
The butterfly girls didn't see this, but the swordsmith certainly did, as he started running back to possibly murder Leyona.
Yeah, things didn't go as planned. Especially when the crows came.
"We get a psycho as a swordsmith and now some weird ass birds? I signed up to slay demons, not-" Leyona was cut off as her crow landed on her head and stabbed her with its beak.
"Caw caw! Aya and Leyona! Teens in a local village have been going missing! Caw!"
Silence fell over Leyona and Aya as they stared at the crow.
"Oh good, our first mission." Leyona sighed, glancing at Aya who was staring at the drow, dumfounded. "Aya, have you never seen Kanao's crow before?" A shake of the head, and Leyona looked annoyed, but just huffed.
"C'mon. We need to get dressed. I highly doubt that demon's will take us seriously in our sleep clothes." Leyona shook her head to get rid of the crow before walking towards her and Aya's former room, dragging the girl in question behind her.
Aoi waited until they were gone before bursting into laughter at the situation.
Shinobu retreated back into the healer's hut, slipping into the cellar. She had recently been feeding off this town, killing off teenagers left and right. People didn't even notice they were gone, which was either bad parenting or they just didn't care.
Didn't matter, it was easy food for her anyways.
Those idiot slayers wouldn't be able to harm her anyways, her blood demon art wouldn't allow that.
They would be dead by the time the sun rose.
Shattered Legacy Secret
Leyona's stamina passess almsot everyone in the demon slayer corps. It's quite impressive.
Hehehehehe. Shinobu, Aya, and Leyona confrontation. *evil laughter*
