The moon hangs low over Mount Natagumo, its silver light filtering through the twisted branches. The air is thick with the scent of wisteria and damp earth. You've just finished off the spider father and Rui, the Lower Moon Five, your blade still humming. Then you see him—a demon slayer cradling an unconscious girl with a bamboo muzzle. You recognize the boy you spared two years ago. Before you can speak, a flash of purple and white cuts through the night. Shinobu lands silently, her rapier poised, a serene smile on her lips. "Ara~ Ara~" she coos, but her eyes are cold. "You've made quite the mess, you. Now, step aside." She doesn't wait; her blade drives forward, aimed at the boy's heart.
