Man it's so noisy
"Couldn't we just go to the country instead? It's quieter over there…" I said

"Hoshi, you'll be fine. It's easier in the city. Look, the shops are right there, your father's office is right there. Plus it's super shiny at night!" her sister, Yuki said.
"But I don't like shiny... I've told you this countless times"
"Yes you do...you keep stealing all of my rings"
"That's different, I bury them in holes"
"Y-you what?"
"Bye"
I climbed the fence in the backyard and began to run up the mountain beside the house.
"HOSHI WAIT, YOU AREN'T-"
"SAYONARA!"
.

The mountains are my quiet place.
A loud as I am, I just like the quiet sometimes.
I just wanna be like everyone else-
"P-please--"
The Hell?
I turned around and grabbed a stick which was near me.
"W-whoever you are...i...uh...i have a stick! And i have a sister who's a well-trained demon slayer...so if you're a demon…"
"Please h-help me"
A boy walked out from the shadows.
His face was all bloody, and his face was bruised.
"You aren't a demon…"
"Please…" he started to cry.
"O-okay...just hang on...um...grab my arm"
The boy hung on to my shoulder.
She started walking down the mountain.
"YUKI!" I yelled loudly.
After a couple of minutes, she appeared at the fence
I began to run towards the gate in a panic
"Yuki, I found a kid...he's hurt" she pointed to him.
" We need to get him to dad...give him to me...how old is he?"
"How old are you?" I asked the beaten boy
"10…" the boy whispered.
Yuki took the boy to the girls' father.
I hopped the fence to help.
"Hoshi...what's happening...why's there a boy in dad's office" her little sister, Yui, said
"Yui, that boy is hurt...I found him when I was in the mountain."
"Oh...can we keep him?!"
I laughed at the way Yui said that
He isn't a dog
"Unless he has no family, i don't think so…"
She smelled the air.
Something didn't feel right…
"Why don't we go inside?" I smiled.
They went in
.

"What happened to you?"
The boy could barely speak.
"Dad...he's obviously traumatized…"
"Yeah, but he has to speak"
"Yeah but the kid just went-"
"I was attacked"
"Oh...he spoke."
"Attacked by what?"
"A demon…"
"sh**"
"Yuki!"
"SH**! SH**! SH**! I SENSED IT AND I BRUSHED IT OFF AS IF IT WERE NOTHING! HOW CLUELESS CAN I BE?!"
"Yuki, it's not your fault…"
"YES IT IS! I'M A DEMON SLAYER, I'M SUPPOSED TO PROTECT EVERYONE FROM DEMONS! IT'S IN THE FLIPPING NAME, AND I DIDN'T LIVE UP TO IT!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"It's not your fault...really...someone killed the demon...but they left me by myself..." the boy said
Something was wrong with his eye, it was white.
He started bleeding again.
"Woah-"
My father looked at his eye.
"His iris seems white...I might need to look at it a bit more... I want to see if the retina or the sclera is damaged"
"What does that mean im-"
"Let's not rush this, it could just be damaged"
"Okay…"
"Meanwhile...you should get to know the family…where this eyepatch"
My father gave him an eyepatch.
"Thank you…"
We worryingly looked at the kid
"He's strong…" the father said.
"No doubt about it"
"May I get some food?"
"Sure…"
.
.
.
"MOM! DAD! CAN WE KEEP HIM?!" Yui cried.
"We don't know anything about him…does he have a family or something?" My mother said
"I don't remember…"
"Do you have a name?"
"Kage Yami… that's all I remember"
"Oh, you poor thing…" the mother said.
"So can we?" Yui asked
"Can we what…"
"KEEP HIM, DANG IT!"
"He isn't a dog, yui, but...i guess we'll have to take him in…"
Sho, The youngest, came out of his room.
"I have a new brother?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"I guess so…"
Kage was eating bread in the corner
"...y'know there's miso soup like...right there, right?"
"Oh! I didn't see that"
He began eating the soup.
"This is good"
