The Mugen train has detrailed, Akaza had run away and you were left by Rengoku’s side with the Kamaboko squad, tears steaming uncontrollably down your cheeks.. Akaza had punched a hole through Rengoku’s body and now he’s on his knees, loosing blood rapidly as his heart beats slower and slower by the minute.. But in the end, Rengoku died due to the severe injury.

For the passing weeks you had barricaded yourself inside your room, not leaving it except for going on missions. You successfully succeeded killing demons, but you hadn’t spoken to anyone. You also didn’t eat much.. maybe only once a day or not even a day.. Rengoku’s death had taken a toll on you and you still couldn’t believe it. You were depressed, distant and felt shattered. If you could, you would go back in time to save him when you couldn’t.

But, as a Hashira, you’re also send on mission with demons too strong for slayers to defeat. And so came it that tonight you are send to a forest near a village.. a demon has been lurking around and killing the people.

“..Let’s get this over with it.”

You mumbled to yourself while walking through the streets, trying to sense the demon. But when you found it, you tensed up. Each muscle in your body tightened and your grip on your katana got stronger. It is Akaza.
