I am (y/n) (l/n) raised in a beautiful village near a large green grassy mountain. And this is how...I met my world.
...
"(y/n)... (y/n)..." a whisper... who's there? Who dares to wake me from my pleasant slumber!?
"(Y/N)!"
I woke up startled.
"Hnnnng... what..?" I said rubbing my eyes. "I had a really good dream..!" I pouted, crossing my arms.
The woman giggled, she placed both hands on your cheeks, leaned down and kissed your forehead.
"Eeee!" I laugh, squirming away from my mother showering me with kisses.
"Mommy stop it!!" I giggled, shoving her face away.
She laughed, I loved her laugh. It brought out how kind she was, You could literally tell the kind of person she was just by listening to her laugh.
"Hey! We're gonna go to the market today alright? I'm making Omurice! Your favorite!" She beamed, pinching your cheeks.
"Yay! Yay! Yay! Can we go now can we go now?! Can Kyou come too?!" I ask hope filled my eyes, I jumped up and down.
"of course." my mom nodded.
Kyou is my best friend. We met in the forest in the mountains by a river stream. I was wading in the water, trying to catch the fish that swam by. I really wanted to take one home as a pet, but of course, mom wouldn't let me, even if I did catch one. Anywho, I got lost chasing a fish up the river, I was so determined to catch that fish I forgot about my mom. I didn't know where I was. I was shaking, darting my head to hope my mother was somewhere anywhere. But she wasn't. I thought all was lost until I heard a voice, I looked upstream and saw 2 young boys, one about 7 and the other about 10. I was 8. They noticed me too. The older one ran up to me noticing how scared I was.
"What's wrong? Are you lost are you okay?" The boy said.
"My mommy! I-I can't find her! I was chasing a fishy and lost her! I... I didn't mean to..!" You started crying.
"It's okay, you didn't mean to lose her, we'll help you find her, what's your name?" He asked patting me on the shoulder.
"I'm... (y-y/n).." I said wiping my tears getting a good look at his face.
He had messy light brown hair with hazel eyes. His eyes were a bit small but filled with emotions. I guess you could say he looked cute.
"Hi (y/n)! I'm Kyou! And this is my younger brother Aru!" Kyou pointed a finger at Aru.
Aru looked pretty similar to Kyou, just skinnier, nerdier...
The 3 of us eventually figured out the way to mom. Mom was relieved, she gave me a big hug and thanked the boys for finding me and bringing me back. She actually proposed inviting them to dinner later tonight. And the boys agreed and looked forward to it.
So we all had dinner, mom, me, Kyou, Aru, and their mom and dad too. I don't really have a dad, never did. He died when I was a baby. He was killed by a demon. But it's fine, I never really knew him anyway, of course, I wish I did though. Anyway, after dinner, the boys and I played a bit. Kyou and I got along fairly well. We played a bunch of games, like tag and hide and seek, me and Kyou were the most competitive, I got so mad whenever he found me and tagged me so easily. I introduced him to reading, he thought reading was boring but I find it quite entertaining. I showed him my most favorite book: Beauty and the Beast.
He found it boring, I told him maybe it's just not his genre, maybe he'd be into action or comedy. I was into romance. Oh, Imagine! Being snatched up in the hands of a beautiful yet ferocious man. That's my dream! I want someone just like the beast in beauty and the beast. I want to love him despite his impurities. I feel like that kind of love is beautiful.
And ever since Kyou and I have become great friends. We saw eachother almost everyday.
On the other hand, back to reality...
We were in town, it was loud, filled with comotion, questions, happiness, laughter. I loved going out, it makes things seem so much more interesting in life. It was a beautiful day. The sun was so bright, as if it was smiling down everyone at the town. I was so focused on how lovely the day was, when Kyou pulled on my clothes and I jumped.
"HEY!!" I jumped, startled, slapping his hand away. "Gosh Kyou! you scared me!"
"What how? its not even quiet its so loud, i'd be more startled if someone grabbed me and it was silent." He smirked, hands on his hips.
I sighed. "What did you wanna tell me?"
He grabbed my hand and pointed at a tiny group of demon slayers. "You see those guys? With the swords on their hips?" He said staring intently at them.
"yeah, what are they?" You were curious. You knew what swords and weapons were but you never thought anyone used them anymore. You were used to how peaceful the atmosphere of this village is.
"Those are demon slayers" Kyou said. "They kill demons that happen to appear in cities in all of Japan."
"Wait, do we have a demon? are we gonna get hurt?" I panicked, Why are they here? this is the most happiest place in Japan they cant be hurting us here! I-I dont want them to! I dont want anyone to get hurt!
"Oh no, its probably because of the festival, Theres a big festival tomorrow, They probably just wanted to drop by." Kyou said reassuring me. "I didnt wanna tell you there was a festival tomorrow, because it was supposed to be a surprise, Me, you, and Aru were all gonna go together but I wanted to surprise you, but you looked so frightened." He said, scratching the back of his head.
Aw how sweet, Kyou really is such a good friend.
"You wanted to surprise me? Kyou!! You're a good friend!" You noogied his head.
He laughed.
'haha..friend..' He thought.
"Hey kids, I got everything for the Omurice, lets head home shall we?" Mom looked at us smiling.
"Okay!" We said.
...
I snarfed down the Omurice, it really is my favorite.
"(Y/n) calm down! Chew slower!" Mom laughed.
"I haven't had Omurice in so long! It's sooooo yummyyyyy" I said, bite after each word.
Mom smiled, but then her smile turned into a frown, "Your father loved Omurice as much as you do."
"Really??? What else did Dad love?" I asked
"He loved you, and he loved me" Mom formed a sad smile.
It was silent for a little. I quietly stared at her, feeling bad, it always got deep whenever Dad was brought up, mom loved him so much.
"Mama, how did Dad die?" You said quietly but enough for her to hear.
"...your father and I were both demon slayers did you know that (y/n)?" She said looking up at me.
"Really? How come you stopped?" I asked, really curious, my mother a demon slayer? No way!
"Someone had to take care of you, so I became a stay at home mom once you were born, well once I found out I was pregnant." Mom laughed.
"Your dad kept fighting though, he was so brave, He was an excellent fighter too, He became a Pillar when you were born, it didn't last long though because he died.." tears formed in her eyes.
"Mama don't cry!" I got out of my chair and ran to her giving her a hug.
"Dad wouldn't want you to cry, it doesn't suit your pretty face, I bet he is sooo proud of you! Because your a great mama!" I encouraged her.
She laughed between sobs and hugged you back. "You have a talent you know, your such a kind girl, you always know what to say." She kissed my cheek.
"Hey mom" you said, looking up at her proudly, a cute smile formed on your lips.
"Yes?"
"I wanna be a demon slayer too! Just like you and dad!"
