Episode 9

Dominic and Loredana made it to a large village in a deep forest with a large stone wall surrounding the village. The village was as large as a small city in the outside world. "So this is the demon slayer village you're from.” "Yeah, come on. We have lots of things to do.” They walked to a large wooden door. Loredana knocked on the door four times. Then a tiny slot on the door opened. Someone peeked through the slot exposing their blue eyes. "Loredana, you finally came back. The head guardian been waiting for you.” The man closed the slot. Then the door opened. They was able to see inside the village. They saw everyone wearing kimonos walking around the village. The village resembles a ancient Japanese village. "I wasn't expecting this.” "We can live our lives like the people on the outside. We're more than heartless demon killers.” Dominic begin to walk forward into the village. "Dominic, wait.” Dominic stopped and turned toward Loredana. "What is it?” She walked in front of him. "Be careful. I won't be able to protect you once we enter.”

Dominic just stared at her. "Why you just staring at me?” "I didn't know you care.” "I don't. I'm just saying.” "I'll be fine.” They walked into the village. The large wooden door closed behind them. Loredana faced Dominic. "Dominic, I'll be going now.” Dominic faced her. "Where you going?” "I have to go see the head guardian.” "Alright.” Loredana took a pen and little sheet of paper. She begin to write on it. She then handed it to Dominic. Dominic took the paper and begin to read it. "A address.” "Ask someone to tell you where its at. It's my home.” Dominic but it in his pocket. He begins to walk off. Loredana headed west. She walked for twenty minutes until she reached a tall tower. She went inside the tower. She was in a small room filled with chairs and desks. A beautiful young woman with long orange hair, light yellow eyes, wearing a white collar shirt with a blue jacket over it, she also had a red bow on the collar of her shirt, she also had white tight jeans. "Loredana, how you doing?” She gave Loredana a big smile.

"I'm fine. The head guardian wanted to see me.” "Oh, yes. I almost forgot. He wanted me to escort you to him. Follow me.” Loredana followed the lady to a elevator in the back of the room. She pressed the opened button of the elevator. The elevator door open. They went inside. She pressed the seventh floor button. The elevator door closed and the elevator headed up. A few seconds later the elevator stop and the doors open. They went out the elevator. They was in a small room with red carpet on the floor, white walls and ceilings, and had a single red throne room like chair at the other end of the room. Sitting in the chair was a elderly man with a bold head, with a white goatee and mustache, he was wearing a black robe with brown sandals. Loredana and the woman walked up to twenty feet in front of the man. "Thank you Lucienne for bringing Loredana to me. You may leave.” Lucienne bowed and went inside the elevator.

"Loredana, what is the reason why you didn't report in?” "I have no reason. I just didn't report in.” "I have reports saying you got injured while fighting a demon. You received a broken hand. And then you been saved by a demon slayer with unpure blood. And not only that you unlocked his demon slayer powers. Is any of this wrong?” "No, sir.” "And then you never accomplish your mission. I had to send another demon slayer to finish your mission. Do you know how bad you embarrass our village.” "I severely embarrass our village.” "Since you realize how bad you embarrass ours village prepare for your punishment.” Loredana took a deep gulp. "You will be resign as a assault demon slayer. You will know be in support.” Loredana eyes grew big. "What is it girl?” "It's nothing. I just expected my punishment to be more severe.” "It's been a small incident. No need to be serious. But I have a bigger problem.” "If I may ask what is it?”

"I have to find something to do with that unpure demon slayer. We can't allow him to just go around like we know nothing of him. He's powerful enough to be considered a elite. We need to figure out what to do with him.” "If I must say he can be a asset to our clan.” "That's against our rules. We only allow pure breeds in our ranks. And from what I heard he's a eighth of demon slayer. His blood is to diluted to be demon slayer.” "But it is. I'm just saying he can be some use to us if he's just trained probably.” "Even so.....it's not our decision. It's up to the grand guardian to decide his fate as a demon slayer.” "What's the worst case scenario for him?” "Execution.” Loredana eyes grew wide. "Why such a harsh punishment?” "We don't want any imperfect demon slayer running around. That's if he is decided to be executed.” "Such a harsh punishment just because he has human blood in his veins.” "Like I said it's not our decision to make. It's up to the grand guardian to decide.” Loredana looked toward the ground with a sad face. "If that's it you may leave.”

Loredana went to the elevator and pressed the button to call the elevator. The elevator door opened. She went inside and pressed the first floor button. The elevator door closed and begin to head down. A few seconds later the elevator stopped and its doors opened. She saw Lucienne standing in front of the elevator. She got out the elevator. The elevator door closed behind her. "So what happen?” "I been put into support.” Lucienne smiled at her. "That's great. At least you wasn't kicked out.” "Yeah, I guess. I have to go.” "Oh, Loredana that guy you came with.....he became the talk of the town.” Loredana looked at Lucienne worried. "Why?” "He got into a fight. But they said he took care of the guy with no problem.” Loredana put her right hand on her face. "I guess I should go get him.” Loredana took her hand off her face. "Can I come to? I want to meet this guy.” "Yeah, I guess so.” "This is great. I always wanted to meet someone like him. Who carries both demon slayer and human blood. Oh my god this is going to be so interesting.” "Yeah, sure. Well, let's go. I want to get to him before more trouble starts.” They left out the building and begin to look for Dominic.
