The moment I gain consciousness once again, a sudden jolts of pain strike throughout my spine instantly as I groan, frustrated with the results of the situation.

My eyes slowly flutters, squinting in attempt to sharpen the blurred images before me. I glanced around and took in a blur once I gain consciousness, blinking a few times, trying to gain focus on my surroundings.

The wooden ceiling was the first thing that caught my attention once my vision was sharpen, it was only then that I realized I was laying in a futon with a wet cloth placed on my forehead. The room is covered in complete darkness meaning it's still night time.

Wait, what happened?

Where did that guy go?

Why am I doing here for-

❝Are you alright?❞

I almost choked on air when a cute voice reached my ears, I slowly turn my head to the doorway where the source of lights was and I was met with a pair of soft aqua orbs. She has shoulders-length black hair and she was wearing a floral pattern kimono underneath a black sleeveless jacket.

❛Even her appearance is cute...❜

I didn't sense any danger vibes from her instead all I felt was a kind heart from the way she was smiling in a dreamy way. She seems so mysterious... I love her already.

❝Y-yes! My lower b-back kinda h-hurts but I think I can h-handle it❞

I didn't want to be rude especially she seems to be really nice girl and first impression is a good way to make friends after all! Though my voice cracked at the end and my throat hurts in the process, its feel so dry as if it was fries like a fried chicken.

I held my lips to tone it down however, it's get worse and worse than before as my coughing session continues to torture the heck of my beloved throat that's starts to sting a little.

The girl who I haven't learn her name yet call out to someone but I didn't pay attention to it before she excuse herself to get some water and her teacher, her footsteps were small and light as a feather if I was a normal human then it's would have go unnoticed.

However, I wasn't. I hope they won't found out immedietely or else it's won't end well, an evil being like me doesn't deserve the kindness of those who we called as humans.

Weather they're good or bad, demons are nothing but evil spirits who possess, tricks, kill and make deals with humans just to take their souls away once the time is up. I feel disgusted how I am one of them, a descendant of a demon with its blood flowing through my veins making me unacceptable by those who are loved by gods.

What's frustrates me more that I can't even remember a single about my existence, the only thing remained is the fact I'm a Kishino

Wait a minute-

I widen my eyes in realization, raising my hand on my forehead ❛Where did I learn that from?❜

「Third Person's POV」

While the young girl was confused with the new information, she failed to notice the girl from before was now standing in front of her with a tray contains a whole tea set roughly enough for six people before kneeling down next to the younger girl which causes her to snap out of it, turns to face the older girl.

❝O-Oh, sorry for s-spacing out just n-now...❞

Her cheeks turn a light shade of pink, scratching the back of her head in embarrassment while the older one smiles sweetly towards her as she pours some water into the cups before giving one to the brunette which she politely took it, thanking her along the way.

❝You don't need to apologize, you were bleeding so much when we found you❞

❝E-Eh? Really? Thank you so much for helping me...❞ She whispered quietly, sipping her cup.

❝You should thanks Giyu for that, he was the one who brought you to us❞

❝Giyu?❞

As if on cue, the ravenette female turn her attention towards the side. Her sudden actions confused the young one at the first few seconds before her pale blue orbs caught the shadows which resembles a human's, slowly glancing up in curiosity.

An elder individual with a tengu mask stood by the door and a young boy with peach colored locks of hair, reaching below his shoulders. A large scar is located near his mouth, his blueish grey eyes looks strong and calm as another young boy clings to him from behind, clearly seems to be afraid as he held his friend's clothes.

His medium length, messy black hair tied back into a low ponytail and his dark blue eyes caught the attention of the brunette girl who kept on staring at him intensely and this made the young boy shy away, hiding behind the other boy's back which made the girl blinked twice at his actions.

❝Giyu is really shy, I hope you get along with him❞ the ravenette girl whispered to her when she notices how lost she was.

❛So, he is Giyu... His shyness is pretty adorable❜ the brunette thought, smiling to herself.

❝Uhh... Giyu-san?❞

By the sound of his name being called, he slowly raises his head from the taller boy's back as a signal that he's listening.

❝Thank you for saving me if you didn't find me back then, I would be a goner by now❞

Her eyes closed as her lips went upward, smiling kindly towards the boy, secretly telling him that she would do no harm to him which he slightly calm down, relaxing his body as he stammered his response to hers.

❝I only did what was right...Saving people who need help is one of the qualities of a demon slayer❞

The moment she heard these lines, she felt the coldness of her heart start functioning on its own, beating at a normal pace which resembles a normal heartbeat of a person.

❛Oh my gosh... This human boy is so precious...❜

That was the first time, she felt her own heart. All because of a human boy's kindness touched the cold core, enough to give her warmth.

A warmth that she never knew felt so good inside of her.

A warmth that she wants to embrace it for as long as she lives.

A warmth that she swore to protect.

This is the spark of the fiery fire burning deep in the core of a demon's soul.

❝W-What are you doing?!❞

❝Hugging you of course, Giyu-san!❞

❝But you're i-injured!❞

... Well let's just say that a small tomato was born in the end due to the embarrassment of his comrades laughing at his poor attempts of stopping the brunette.
