I am the only female daughter and the third sibling, some says I was a princess but I feel like a maid doing the chores in the house cause their reason is: its my job as the female, like can't they help me doing the chores too!? I sometimes despise my older brothers for being unfair and bossy around here. Well, I can't tell my friends here cause its not they actually interested listening to my lif–

   Ok imma just shut up. Lets just move on to the story where everyone is interested in this fanfic cause TBH even I force myself to study my mind won't work with me.😅

3rd Pierson's POV

     With your sudden action, the demon took a step back as you lunged forward towards him and in just a blink of an eye, you made your sword came contact to the demon's neck but you were surprised to see that the chain was much more faster and had managed to stop the blade from cutting his head off.

  "Tough luck." The demon grinned sending his claws at your way which you barely dodge by back flipping. The place where you're at was a narrow path making it hard to move freely nor draw out your other sword. At the corner of your eyes, Shiba was still in the ground few feet away from you and your opponent watching the scene unfold.

The stunt the demon pulled by blocking your attack were enough to tell that the strength gap between you and him were far too wide when it comes to up front and direct moves.

   "Lassie you seem lost in thought." Your eyes widen when the demon suddenly  appeared behind you, your reflexes kick in when you immediately turn around barely blocked his sharp claws with your sword but you were pushed back with such force which unconsciously wince. Luckily, you weren't pushed back into the wall in one of the buildings surrounding all of you. Your left hand that holds your nichirin blade began to shake from the impact it had received from the demon.

"Well aren't you tough? You managed to block my attack in a crucial time. Your reflexes must be sharp." The demon in front of you stated grinning while playing with his chain that hold the accessories of his victims that he called collection. "You seem rather calm, aren't you gonna hunt your food tonight?" You asked suspiciously. "Don't have to, cause a strong young women like you were enough food for me tonight and it might also raise my strength and ability." He replied with a smirk, loosening his chains that wrapped around him as he silently ready his chains to send an attack in a few seconds which didn't go unnoticed by you.

"Then, let me ask. Why do you only kidnap young women?" You asked buying yourself some time as you secretly took a slight step back in the process, preparing to dodge any upcoming blow he might send towards you.

"Well aren't you a curious lad. I should probably answer your question as you were next to be devoured." Your eyes narrow towards him while your grip tightened around your sword as you he started to talk, looking at you with such entertainment before continuing.

   "You see, young women who are untouched such as yourself are quite tasty. Their tender flesh and sweet blood are delicious. A maiden who hasn't been taint by a man increases my ability and become stronger after I devour them. Just a little bit more of young females to eat, I can finally be part of the 12 kizuki's!!" He laughed after finishing his sentence and needless to say you were kind of disgusted at his statement.

  '.' You thought frowning. In a half second, the demon instantly lunged at you sending his chains in your way in the process which you step to the side avoiding the incoming metal and immediately threw a knife towards his eye but not after gaining some damage to yourself with his claws.

    You heard him groan in slight pain as your back slam to a nearby wall and the damage you had received in your shoulder by his claws started to bleed which you cursed from its bad timing.
 
   "I can smell your delicious blood Lassie. You're a Marechi." To say, you were startled at his remark as you notice he had already pulled the knife out if his eye and was completely healed which make you curse more of his entire existence in the face of the earth but you can't help to slightly smirk.

   "You sure do surprise me. I must admit, you were the first ever creature who could push me to take such risk and I gave you the credit to that." You said covering your wound at your shoulder with your free hand as your expression were unreadable except for the mischievous glint in your eyes.

   The demon were taken aback from your sudden confidence as he wasn't expecting it from you. At this moment, you can tell the upper hand was in your favor, yet your gut tells you that something's not right.

    Taking a deep breath, you calmed yourself down as you mumbled. 'Breath of blood. Fifth form: Enchanting veins.' You breathed out after a few seconds, you could finally feel your tensed muscle relax a bit and your minor injuries were slowly healed.

Silence followed and neither of you took the first move as you both eyeing each other as if predicting the next move you both will do, until the demon actually took the initiative and dash at you sending his chains towards you on the process. Using your blade, you deflect most of the incoming chains while running forward meeting him halfway. Holding your breath, you swing your sword in a specific pattern and managed to cut both of his arm off with such speed. But, when you raised your sword to cut his head off, you suddenly felt a strain to your leg muscle causing you to miss your attack.

  'Damm, not now!' You yelled inside your head as you stagger a bit forward, your blade inflicted a shallow wound at the demon's abdomen.

    Kneeling to the ground, you grip your aching leg while panting for air. "Ahahahaha look at yourself. A weak human just give up already." The demon laughed pulling his chains back to him as his cut off arms grew back as brand new.

  Using your sword, you stab it to the ground pushing yourself up from the ground before facing the demon. "Don't get too cocky cause the tables hasn't been turned." You said with a smirk forcing your leg to stand up which take half of your strength. Taking a step back, you sigh sheathing your nichirin sword at its hilt before moving your body sideways.

   "Your struggles are futile!" The demon shouted running at you with such speed. Once you felt his heavy step to the ground, you instantly sheathed out your sword clashing it with the demon's claws before pulling out another knife from your secret pocket. 'I had consider this during our clashes earlier. I'm sure this demon scent were completely different from the scent I smell in the alleyway.' You thought and at the same time dodging his binding chains before sending a counterattack. 'So maybe, the scent that I smell from the alleyway earlier in the daylight....actually.....belongs to other demon lurking around this place.' You finished your train of thoughts when you avoided the chains and claws by jumping backwards.

"Hm. Why did you jump back?" The demon asked stopping his action. "Just realize something." You said panting out and stabbing your sword to the ground , leaving the demon bewildered at your action.

    Moonlight shone to the ground illuminating shadow from all of your figures. Closing your eyes, you feel the vibration of the ground with your senses. The moment you open your eyes you aim and threw the knife from your hand to the ground few feet at your back where your Shadow's at and blood splatter out as another figure immerge.

  A cliffhanger. Sorry guys but you have to wait for the next chapter for the continuation.

Because, I'm getting lousy in writing a fight scene and didn't actually turned out on what I had imagined it would be. As I say my vocabulary is limited. Any feedbacks in this chapter?

I'm ranting again sorry. Well see you next update.
