Chapter 7

We arrived back at Demon Slayer Headquarters, and Orujuro is coming towards me. We noticed that the demon slayers were looking down, angry, and lifeless. " Rengoku-san/sama/Orojuro-san, what's going on, " we asked, as Orujuro looked at us. " Jaylen, Liyokiro went out to kill an demon, when the demon turned out to be the Upper Moon 4 Demon, Liyokiro was killed in the fight, making you the new Wind Hashira, " Orujuro answered, as I dropped my sword. They could sense Liyokiro was someone very important to me, even more so than Orujuro who knew him longer. " Jaylen, " Kima said, as I didn't speak or move.

The next day, I'm at Sunmire's house. I came here, and haven't spoken in since I came here. Sunmire heard of the Wind Hashira dying, and guessed I was close to him. " Jaylen, you can't be sitting around sulking, your Mentor died, and you're being an coward, " Sunmire said, as I looked at her. I stood up, as she looked up at me. " He saved me, he became my big brother, and you call me an coward for grieving, " I replied, as Sunmire sighed, knowing she was in the wrong. " Ja…, " Sunmire was saying, as I left her house. ' I fucked up, ' she thought, and left after me, but I was already gone.

I'm at the house where I spent the best two years of my life. ' He's really gone, ' I thought, as I went inside of the house. I stepped into the house, and looked at an female demon. " Wa…, " she was saying, as I appeared in front of her, slamming onto the ground. I was on top of her, about to punch her, but seen the scared expression she had. " Wh*Hic*Why D*Hic*Do Yo*Hic*You Mons*Hic*Monsters Ge*Hic*Get T*Hic*To Li*Hic*Live, " I said, as my tears were falling onto her face. " I….I don't know, but I wish we didn't live either, " she replied, as she hugged me, as I cried in her shoulder. After a couple of minutes, I'm drinking green tea, as the demon is sitting in front of me. " Why is an demon in front of me, " I asked, as she looked at me. " I'm not an demon, well I am, but I'm human too, and I'm Girazella Shinazugawa, I am…was Liyojiro's wife, and the Tsuguko he was training as he knew you'd be something special, " Girazella answered, as I was stunned.

I looked at her closely, and realized her skin and features are the same as humans except that she has an horn on one side of her head, and her eyes are the same colors as demons. " Girazella does anyone else know about you, " I questioned, as she nodded. " All of the current Hashira's and the leader of the Demon Corps know, as if they didn't I couldn't become the Wind Hashira, " Girazella answered, as I nodded. I took an deep breath, and she looked at me. " Go to the Demon Slayer Headquarters, tell them that I'm not becoming the Wind Hashira, and that you are, " I said, standing up, as she looked up. " Where are you going, " Girazella questioned, as I sighed. " I'm going someplace where I can get stronger, get stronger to kill the demon who killed my big brother(Liyojiro), " I answered, and left the house.

At the Demon Slayer Headquarters, the leader, the current Hashiras, Kima, and Seraph are in a room, as Girazella is in front of them. " She's an hybrid, " Kima said, as she and Seraph never knew they existed. " Basically, so, Girazella what are you doing here, " the Current Flower Hashira, Konae Kocho asked, as Girazella sighed. " I met Jaylen for the first time today, he told me to come here and tell you that he's not becoming the Wind Hashira, and that he's leaving, " Girazella answered, as Kima and Seraph stood up. " What do you mean he's leaving, " Kima questioned, as Girazella looked at her. " He said he's going someplace to get stronger, and when he returns, he's going to kill Utaka, the current Upper Moon 4 Demon, " Girazella answered, which stunned all of them.

Kima and Seraph were alone in another room. " Do you think Jaylen is going to be safe, " Kima asked, as Sunmire came into the room. " Who are you, " Seraph aked, as Sunmire looked at them. " I'm Jaylen's tea…was his teacher, but I came here on the request of Jaylen, " Sunmire answered, which made them jump up. " Jaylen met you before he left, and what did he request, " Kim questioned, as Sunmire smiled. " He request that I train both of you in swordsmanship, and don't worry, I'm way stronger than Jaylen, which is why I'm confident after I train both of you, you'll be able to fight an Lower Moon 5 or 6 Demon, 1 on 1, " Sunmire answered, which made them look at each other. ' We'll get stronger, for Jaylen, ' they thought, as they nodded.

" Orujuro, did Liyojiro ever tell you what Jaylen's last name was, " Taguya Ubuyashiki, the current leader of the demon slayer corps asked, as Orujuro shook his head. " Ubuyashiki, what was Jaylen's last name, " Konae asked, as the other hashira's was wondering why it was so important. " Jaylen's last name is Tsugikuni, he's the descendant of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the man who created breathing styles, and the strongest demon slayer in history, " Taguya answered, which stunned them. " No wonder he was able to kill most of the demons during final selection, and an Lower Moon Demon, " the Water Hashira said, as they looked at him. " Maybe Jaylen will be this generations spark, maybe he'll bring another Golden Age for us Demon Slayers, " Ubuyashiki stated, and they hoped it was true.
