Episode 5

Dominic just slashed a demons face in half. The demon soon turned into black dust. He reverted back into his human cloths and his daggers disappeared. Loredana walked beside him. "So you defeated another lesser demon.” "So these demons have classes.” "Yeah, these are the lowest grade demons and the same species. That's why they all look alike.” "I was wondering why these look like the demon I help you fight when I first met you.” "Well, since we took care of this demon let's head back to your place.” Loredana turned around and begin to walk. "So I still haven't learned to use that technique.” Loredana turned around. "What technique are you talking about?” Dominic turned around and faced Loredana. "That technique you used yesterday. When you summoned that strong gust of wind.” "Oh, that...I'll explain it while we walk back to your house.”

Dominic walked beside her. They begin to walk back to his apartment. "That technique I used yesterday is called Shido. It's focusing on using our spirit pressure to use what these regular humans call magic. There are eight different elements to our shido: fire, water, lightning, ice, earth, wind, light, and darkness. We can only use one element of Shido. As you can tell my spirit pressure allows me to use the element of wind.” "What kind of element can I use?” "When I saw you copy one of Terence techniques, you can harness the power of ice.” "Ice, huh. How can I control this power?” "You just draw out the essence of your spirit energy and make it take shape. It just take some concentration.” Dominic opened his left hand. He looked at it. He concentrated his pressure into his palm. He formed a ice crystal about a foot long. He grasped it firmly. "I get it now. But why does it make me so exhausted?”

"Shido attacks uses a lot of spirit energy. Especially is you're adept in using it. You need some more training to use it properly.” "I'm not worried about it. I'm not planning on using it anyway. But how can Terence use it no problem?” "Cause he uses a different form of way of using it. He use mana energy to power his attacks. He using the power of the planet to power his attacks.” "If he using the planets power doesn't it make the planet weaker?” "No, cause the planet recharge its power like instantly. So he can use it and the planet will recover it as soon as it lose it.” "Ok, that's a good technique. Why can't we use that?” "Cause that's a secret technique his clan knows.” "Damn, I should ask if he'll teach it to me.” "It's forbidden for anyone in his clan to teach demon slayers that technique.”

"Oh, well. No point in asking.” Loredana looked at him and smiled. "I thought you didn't want to embrace your demon slayer powers.” "I might as well. Since I have to live with it. And plus if Terence has his powers, I want mines.”

"It's about time.” "I want to go to a demon slayer village. I want to meet others of my kind.” Loredana grew a frown on her face. She begin to look forward. "Why do you want to do that?” "I don't know anything about these demon slayers. And I want to know my heritage. Like what demon slayer clan my ancestors came from.” "So you want to know where you belong?” "Yeah, you can say that. Cause all my life I thought of myself no more than a human. Then I met you and found out I came from a demon slayer clan.” "I see. You'll find out soon.” "What you mean?” "You forgot what Terence said yesterday. A demon slayer clan has their eye on you. So you got their attention already. And you won't even a demon slayer for a week yet. You should be happy.” "Yeah, sure.” "He is amazing. He just got his powers back and his spirit pressure is on par with the elites. And while I on par with the lieutenants. How can he be so strong? What made him so strong? And how can he surpass me? I just reach this level of spirit pressure. And I just met a nobody who surpassed me already. And he's just a fourth of demon slayer” thought Loredana.

Dominic had looked at Loredana. "You okay?” She looked at him and smiled. "I'm fine. I was just thinking of something.” "Alright, how your arm feeling now?” "It's good. I can move it a little. Its just some angles just hurts.” "You should be okay in a couple of days then. It's about time. I can't wait until you get out of my place.” "I didn't want to stay in your place anyway.” "Then leave. I did what I have to do. I took care of you until you can regain some strength in that arm.” "Don't worry about it then. I'll be leaving soon.” Dominic smiled at her. "What you smiling at?” "It's nothing. Don't worry about it.” "Yeah, whatever.” They finally reached Dominic apartment. He unlocked the door and they went inside. Dominic locked the door behind them. "Dominic, I'm going to take a shower.” "Alright, I brought you a outfit. It's already in the bathroom in a Marshall bag.” Loredana went to the back of the apartment to get into the bathroom. She locked the door behind her. She went to the tub and turned on the hot water and turned the cold water slightly. She took off her cloths. She went to a cabinet above the sink and took out a towel and washcloth. She put the towel over the rail on top of the tub. She went inside the tub and begin to take a shower.

"If they already know about Dominic....that means that they already know I failed my mission. I wonder what they going to do? It can't be something to serious. That demon did get killed. Even if it wasn't me that killed it.” Loredana punched the wall in front of her. "I should have been stronger. That way he didn't have to help me. I need to become stronger myself. I shall not be weaker than anyone. I will have a power that's in a league of it's own. I will one day become guardian of the demon slayers.” Loredana finished her shower in ten minutes. She dried herself off and put on her cloths. She walked out of the bathroom and went inside the kitchen. Dominic was eating a burger at the table. He handed Loredana a white bag. "I went and brought you something to eat.” She went to the him and grabbed the bag. She sat on the other side of the table. "One day I will surpass everyone” thought Loredana.
