Night falls, a veil of ebony engulfs the starless sky as the silver moon sits alone with no other lights than itself. 

Shinobu watches the city beneath her, cars and electronics are shining brightly as if a replacement of stars for this dull night. The amethyst orbs soften upon the scenery whilst a smile speaks of her astoundment.

" A beautiful city isn't it? "

Giyuu blankly stands next to the female, silently sparing a glance to the said city before replying to her question in monotonous tone.

" Don't let the beauty deceives you "

Screams of terror mixed with the demons' hungry growls echo through the air. Their silhouettes filled the lights when the police siren made its presence, making Shinobu's smile slightly wavers before letting out a dry laugh. 

" You truly know how to ruin the moment, don't you Tomioka-san? "

The once lonely moon now is the witness of this living nightmare. 

" Let's get to work "

—❄—

Silhouette of man rushes through the alleys in a trice, avoiding trash cans and other kinds swiftly with such agility no normals could obtain. 

GEDEBUSH! 

In his incredible speed, the lad falls hard to the ground by his own leg that trips over what regular eyes see as nothing. 

He groans in exasperation for the burning sensation felt on his face after meeting the coarse surface of the earth. 

*Chuckles*

The man promptly gets on his feet.

He grabs his sword from the ground and swings it onto the slightest movement of dust. All of a sudden, the floor is painted red, tentacle-like limb wiggles agitatedly like a worm under the sun right in front of him. 

" My word. Leaving so soon? "

The voice shakes his gut like an earthquake, he glances back and how it feels like a bucket of cold water is poured over him when he catches a glimpse of a famished predator looking at its prey in menacing appetite. 

" Now now, let's have a chat "

Smugness flows within each word as a smirk rises to the other party's lips, revealing a bit of the man's ominous fang. He shifts for a second, then the next thing his victim knows he is standing right before him. 

The lad quickly picks up his weapon and aims it towards the demon's neck out of instinct. But, before the blade could reach its target, another sword with finer and greater speed had smoothly finished the job. 

Years of experience can be seen through the clean cut on the now headless body and bodiless head. 

The male then perks up to the figure behind the action. He is met with a pair of electric blue orbs staring deep into his scarlet ones. 

Giyuu's eyes slightly twitch in recognition of the man he just saved. 

The Hero Killer; Stain. 

Despite his indifference, the Water Hashira still has his own curiosity regarding their current circumstances.

That is, stuck in the future.

And the news of a hero-killing vigilante somehow pulls his attention a little, for he also finds the idea is quite cliche itself. 

" Demon slayer "

Giyuu keeps his composure, so do his guards.

" I can't believe such a creature exists, but after seeing one with its dealer. No wonder we are forbid to know "
