He starts to walk happily, practically jumping, coming out after a long time.
"Let's Think, What was dad telling me about demons" Akira says and starts to think, rubbing his finger around his chin.
-----------------
Akira was sitting in front of his father, the window was open, warm air coming through.
Masaru Takes a Deep breath "Akira, Now I'm about to tell you about demons" Masaru looks at Akira.
Akira looks at his father with determination "Yes, Dad"
Masaru continues "Like Humans, there are weak demons to Strong demons, and the Strongest of all are the Twelve Kizuki, They're The Most Dangerous demons." Masaru with a gentle yet firm tone gazing at Akira to see if he's afraid, even a bit?
But, As Expected, Akira Looked More And More Excited Not Scared.
Masaru Smiles and continue "There are demon slayers as well as demons, From strongest to weakest, The First Rank is called Mizunoto, and the Elite and most powerful demon slayers are called Hashiras" Masaru Staring at Akira, As he's now Looking past him.
Masaru's POV: "And one day," he whispered to himself, "you'll be one of them."
---------------
Akira grinned, a wide, excited grin. "Let's see if I can get one of the twelve kizuki!" he said, his small jumps punctuating his happy walk.
He sensed a presence, strong and palpable, even at his young age. Akira's grin widened, his eyes closed. "Finally," he breathed, "hopefully it's a demon."
It wasn't his first encounter. He'd seen his father kill a demon - a gruesome scene that had stunned him more than terrified him. Why would his father do such a thing?
His father had explained demons, though not everything. Cannibals, he'd said, they must be killed. He'd shown him how.
Akira was excited. He craved his father's praise, the recognition of his achievement.
As he closed the distance, the presence intensified. He flinched, A Small Hesitated chuckle escaped his mouth "hehe..." He was now thinking if he have made a mistake coming alone.
The night was dark, But Tonight, it seemed more dark for Akira, Sweat Was visible on Akira's forehead, he continued to walk "I must become strong, I'm not like the others.." He motivated himself, he continued.
The more he walks the more It feels as if the Air is been thick and heavy, wind was running slow, Gentle breezes like if it's to calm Akira down.
Akira gulps, he was questioning himself if it was the right Decision to face off a demon alone and then he stopped walking, he looks at the sky, Half Dimmed moon.
"I Can Do This.. Much Easier" Akira Continued motivating himself, He walked now, but with determination, no hesitation visible.
Just with one and only pure Intent.. KILL. THE. DEMON.
And then.. The Air Felt heavy On akira's shoulder, as if it's Pressing down on him, his steps became heavy like it's trying to stop him on his tracks.
And Then Suddenly, In The Dim Moonlight.
A Faintly visible figure..
A tall silhouette emerged. Akira crouched, moving slowly, hiding behind tall grasses.
"Is this... a demon?" he whispered, swallowing hard. "Can I really decapitate such a strong demon?" Sweat beaded on his forehead.
The demon's power was immense. Even from behind the grass, Akira felt the weight of the situation. Then, the stench - rotten flesh and blood - hit him.
He covered his mouth and nose. The words were choked, barely audible. "I... I can't kill someone stronger than myself."
Akira felt as if even a wrong move can result into a sudden death.
Akira gulps Hard. Trying to process the situation. He closed his eyes, and within seconds, sweat was gone, trembling Lips replaced with a Smirk.
"Finally, Now You got what you was searching for.. Akira" Akira spoke up to himself, but in normal and enough loud voice, A deliberately Increased volume.
Demon heard it.
Akira stands up from behind the grass.
"Oye Demon" He said, With Mischievous Grin.
The demon turned around, His Mouth full of broken bones with human flesh, His Saliva Running down, His hands Holding a crushed Human body, it's upper body was completely a mess of blood and rotten flesh.
Demon's eyes Glowing with a murderous Glint.
Akira felt it instantly, He Gasped at the scene.
"No no" Akira Speaks "You should've eaten it properly, not like a Brainless Animal!" Akira says with a Disgusted expression "You have no manners chi chi, yuck"
Demon swallowed And Opened his mouth, sharp teeth, Blood Running down his hands as he throws the corpse away.
"Oops, You Also Waste food of demons huh? I didn't knew this eh" Akira mocked the demon
But suddenly, The Air Shifted, as if it was in akira's favor.... The demon's MAura Suddenly.. As if, Faded with wind.
Because.
A Dead Look On Akira's face, states at the demon "You must haven't done it before me, at least.. Not within my reach."
And the Other moment
Akira's Lips Curled Up, A smirk forming on his face "Now, You'll have to pay For What You have done"
Demon Ran On Akira, With His Fangs Ready To Swallow Akira down to his stomach.
The demon strikes on Akira but. Akira disappeared...
Akira had dashed Forward from between demon's long legs.
Akira turns his head to look at the demon, with his hand on the hilt of his sword.
"Too, Slow. " These were the words escaped at the very moment from akira's Mouth.
"Mist Breathing..." Akira Spoke, mist scattered everywhere, engulfing demon's vision in it.
Akira "First Form, Shifting flow slash"
Akira appeared right below the demon.
The demon gasped, Akira Launches his Katana towards demon's neck, Severing it From His Body.
An Strike Came From just right below the demon.
Throwed it's neck up in the air.
Demon's body falls in the ground, his head Lies dead across it's body. Started to disintegrate.
Akira Stands up "It Was Easy" A wide grin appearing on his face "I can't wait to see dad's face after I'd tell him, haha" He chuckled, With the wide grin present on his face.
He looks at the disintegrating body. He swings his sword to Flee the demon's blood from his sword (If you don't get it, remember when giyu Decapitated Rui lower moon 5)
A moment of silence, and peace.
"Impressive..." The voice cut through the silent atmosphere.
