3rd POV

A day before the send off...

Y/n stood outside, gazing up at a tall building as soldiers walked past. These soldiers were members of the Japanese Imperial Demon Army, and the white demon was paying a small visit to Guren. She had to discuss something with the brat.

A red haired woman would approach the demon leader, a serious look on her figure as she spoke to the horned being, "Guren is waiting for you, it's best you don't keep him waiting." Y/n simply walked past her, completely ignoring her as she did so. The girl was rather bossy to someone who could strike her down with absolute ease.

After a few minutes, the white haired demon would knock on the door gently, a muffled response coming from within "Enter

After a few minutes, the white haired demon would knock on the door gently, a muffled response coming from within "Enter." Y/n would slowly open the door, entering and slamming the door shut on the red head who was trying to enter the room.

"Well now that was just rude miss Demon, you might've just knocked one of my soldiers out with that." Y/n would snicker, "She was being rude anyways. If anything, a door should put her in her place. I'm surprised you let your soldiers be so disrespectful to a superior.".

"Not really, she's just a bit immature

"Not really, she's just a bit immature. She's a sweet lady." Y/n would shake her head gently, taking a seat in front of the now grown boy. "Hopefully, but anyway, I didn't come her to lecture you on your training choices. You're aware that I'm sending you the refugees from my home, but I have two final requests of you.".

"Oh? And what might these two requests be boss lady?" She'd look to the window, mountains on the horizon as snow blanketed them, "I need you to lie to Shinoa, tell her that the assault was a failure and I was killed in action." Guren was ready to take a drink from his mug only to stop right before taking a sip and setting it back down.

"So let me get this straight, you want me to lie to a little girl who I've watched grow attached to you?" "Yes." the demon would lower her head in shame, unhappy that she had to say such a thing. "And why is that?" "I want her to rely upon herself and others. I can't always be there to protect her even though I want to, I have my people to lead.".

He would sigh, reaching under his desk and pulling out a bottle of wine, pouring two glasses before giving one of the glasses to Y/n, "That's going to break her heart." "I'm aware!" The black haired male would sigh once more, taking a drink of his glass of wine, causing the horned lady to do the same to not waste it.

"Alright, I'll do it. But you know she'll start looking for clues as to what happened to you." "Take her into your company. I don't need her pull something stupid and get killed trying to look for me.". He would pause, debating on it for a bit. He would sigh once more before nodding "Fine, but she'll be undergoing training. Now, onto your second request."

"A group of kids were captured by Krul, I convinced a boy named Mika to try and find a way to escape. They're kids of the Hyakuya labs orphanage. They're special and they could be of great use to fighting the vampires."

"This better not be going where I think it's goi-" "It is, I want you to extract them once they get out of the area. But I doubt all of them will make it, but if you see a blonde boy or a black haired boy, just know they are the ones you need to prioritize. The rest of them are simply along for the ride."

"Why can't you do it? I didn't come here just to get pushed around like your little puppy to snag and grab some kids." "You either do it, or I leave her dead." He would freeze up, gazing at his weapon that sat in the corner, "Fine, I'll do it."

"Good boy, now, I have to go and get ready to send everyone off. Take care, Guren."

The day after...

Shinoa's POV

I couldn't help but wonder, what will it be like to stay somewhere not around Y/n. I would look out the back of the truck, seeing at least fifty air vehicles leaving from behind the mountains and flying away. I couldn't help but wonder, which one is she in?

I just can't wait to see her when I'm older, I could fight by her side and maybe even get closer to her. But for now, I need to train and get stronger. I want to protect her with every fiber of my being!

A few days later...

3rd POV

A person sat alone, in a room, isolated from the outer world. A soldier would be seen standing in the hallway, staring at this purple haired lady. She looked so cheerful and happy, he almost felt bad. First, he found out only one of the "prophecies" lived and that they're a a trouble maker, and now he had to tear a little girls heart right out of her chest and stab it repeatedly.

Guren would sigh, running his gloved hand through his slicked black hair. He would go to open the door, entering the room had quickly caught the attention of the girl as she locked her eyes on him. She quickly got nervous, knowing exactly who it was that was now standing before her.

"Shinoa Hīragi, I have some good news and bad news for you. But I recommend you listen to the good news first." Shinoa would smile happily, nodding and telling him to proceed. He carried in to tell her of the fact she would be entering the moon demon company, but unable to fully partake in any combat scenarios until she reached a reasonable age of seventeen years old.

However, the one part Guren hesitated to speak was the part that would ruin this cheerful girl and turn her into but a shell of her former self. Purplish eyes would lock onto the small girl.

"Y/n is dead, she sacrificed herself yesterday in a battle against the vampires."

A chilling silence would fill the room, that pure happiness in the girls eyes faded quickly and into that of disbelief and terror

"W-Wha...t...?"

"She is dead, Y/n that is."

Brown irises began to tremble, quickly becoming glossy as her hands gripped the skirt she wore tightly. Shinoa's head lowered, tears trickling down her cheeks as Guren stood up and stared down at the heartbroken little girl.

A trembled cry of pain echoed throughout the buildings floor, the name of Y/n being screamed out loud as tears ran down that broken girls cheeks.

It was this day, that the world became a cold wasteland to her. The day she lost that 24/7 cheerful facade of hers.
