Wildberry cookie x Ava(OC) [Discontinued]

25• Staying at Hollyberry Kingdom

Wildberry Cookie's POV:
We arrived back at the demon slayer Headquarters. I immediately went to find Ava. "Wildberry Cookie!" Someone called, it was her sister Andrea. "You're looking for Ava, aren't you?" She asked as I nodded. "She's in her room sleeping for a bit. Hikari is watching over her." she said as I nodded and went to her room. "She should be here..." I said as I opened the door and saw her sleeping peacefully. And like Andrea said, Hikari is there.

"Oh, Wildberry Cookie, come in" she said as I went inside. "How is she doing?" I asked. "She's doing alright, just some cuts, but I was able to heal that" she explained as I looked at Ava. "When will she wake up?" I asked. "I don't really know, she've been asleep since half our way back here" she explained. I then noticed some kind of mark on her neck. "What is that on her neck?" I asked. "Hm? Oh, that's a demon slayer mark. It only appears when a demon slayer have went through a life threatening situation. It would appear on its own" she explained as I nodded.

"Hmm?" I heard Ava waking up. "Nii-san! You're awake" Hikari said looking at her. "What happened?" She asked. "You had passed out after defeating Uppermoon 2. Thank God you're Alive my love" I said. "I'll leave you 2 be" Hikari said as she stood up. As she opened the door, she saw Hollyberry Cookie and the others outside, but still left. "Good morning Ava, how are you doing?" Hollyberry Cookie asked. "I'm doing alright, I'm glad I can still live my life" she said.

"Does anything hurt?" Pure Vanilla Cookie asked. "Just a bit on my arm, but everything else is fine.." she answered. Her family then visited her as well. We then talked and everyone left to give us some space. "So what are you going to do now?" I asked. "I think I'll retire being a Hashira. My body won't be able to handle too much more" she said. "Alright" is all I said. "Uhm... Wild... Mind if I move in with you?" She asked as I nodded. "Thanks Wild... Now that I'm not a Hashira, I can't live here..." She said.

Ava's POV:
It was now 8am and I'm going to talk to master Ayokata-san. I knocked on the door and went inside. "Good morning Ava, what would you like to discuss about?" He asked. "I'd like to inform that Uppermoon 2 have been decapitated" i said happily as I smiled. "Oh my! That's wonderful news, but I'm guessing that isn't the only reason?" He said.

"Yeah... Master Ayokata-san, I think I'm going to retire now... I have fulfilled my promise and I'd like to spend time with my loved ones... If that's alright.." I said. "Yes, it is alright Ava. You have done so much for us, you deserve to live your life as you wish. I thank you for all the things you've done for us" He said. "It's not a problem... And I thank you for understanding Master Ayokata-san..." I thanked him. "*Chuckles* no need for the formalities Ava, you can just call me Ayokata" he said. "Right, thank you Ayokata" I said as I stood and left.

Wild had told me that we'll be leaving to the Hollyberry Kingdom in a few minutes. I decided to give something for Mio first. I was wearing my original pink haori. "Mio, could we talk for a moment?" I called as she nodded. "Since I have retired, you'll be the new Hashira. And before I leave... I have something for you" I said as I pass it to her. "It's the Haori that was passed down from Kanseni to me, and now... I want you to have it" I explained as she took it. "Thank you Nii-san!" She said as she hugged me. "It's not a problem. I'll see you girls next time, Bye!!" I said as I waved at them and they waved back.

I grab my bag and followed Wild to the airship. Muhiko was already there waiting for me. We then arrived at the Hollyberry Kingdom after a few hours. "We're here!" Hollyberry Cookie said as she looked at the view. "Woah!! The Hollyberry Kingdom looks amazing from up here!" I said as I look at the amazing. "*Chuckles* Welcome to your new home!" Hollyberry Cookie said as Wild placed a hand on my shoulder and went beside me. "Hm? Where's Muhiko?" I asked. "He got tired, so he's sleeping right now" Wild said. "We should wake him up, we're almost landing" Wild said as we went to wake Muhiko up.

As we got out, I saw the other royal Family already there, seemingly waiting for us. "Hollyberry Cookie! Wildberry Cookie! You're back!" A female cookie with pink hair and dress shouted as she saw her. "It's great to see you again mother!" The King said. "and you brought company! Who may they be?" The queen asked. "Haha! This is Ava, Wildberry Cookie's girlfriend. She is an amazing swordsman!" Hollyberry Cookie introduced me as I was pulled a bit to the front beside her.

"And the child?" The king asked. "Oh, this is Muhiko, I had just rescued him from my previous mission, unfortunately his family didn't make it" I explained as Muhiko went behind me hiding a bit. "Oh my! That sounds horrible" the queen said. "Well, I've introduced them, why don't you all introduce yourself as well?" Hollyberry Cookie asked. "Hello there! I'm Princess cookie! It's so nice to meet you!" The female cookie with pink hair and dress said.

"I'm Royalberry cookie, and this is my wife, Jungleberry cookie. It's a pleasure to meet you Ava" the king said. "And I'm Raspberry Cookie, princess Cookie's cousin" a girl with dark pink hair said. "It's a pleasure to meet you all" I said. "Hollyberry Cookie said you're a swordsman right?" She asked. "Why yes, I am. What about it?" I asked. "I was wondering if could battle you, if that's alright" she said. "Now now Raspberry Cookie, Ava had just finished one of her missions and is still in the process of healing, why not some other time?" Hollyberry Cookie suggested.

"It's alright Hollyberry Cookie, I still have enough energy for a battle. What do you say Raspberry?" I asked. "Oh yeah!! You're going down! Let's go to the training grounds" she said as we all followed her. We got into our positions, with the rest of the Royal family and Wild watching at the side. "I'm Sorry, If I hurt you" I said as I took out my sword.

"3, 2, 1!" She shouted as she then charged at me with her sword but I quickly dodge. "What the- where'd you go?" She said. "Hello there~" I said as I went beside and quickly change positions again. "Are you hiding?!" She asked. I then appeared from behind and attacked. "Flower breathing first form: Spring bloom!" I shouted as I swing my sword at her, but she was able to dodge.

"Not bad, but bet you can't escape this!" She said as she swing again. I dodged it and grab her arm, pulling her down. "Wha-ah!" She said as I pinned her down. "Point" I said as I let go of her. The others just clapped at the sight. "That. Was. AMAZING!! Where did you learn that?! Where did you get your sword?! Could you teach me how to wield a sword like you?!" Princess cookie kept asking me. "Thanks.. Uh... I learned from my sister, I got it from an old friend, and depends whether you're parents let you learn it or not" I answered.

"Mom! Dad! Can I learn how to wield a sword or weapon with Ava?" She then asked her parents. "Of course, I was actually going to offer her something" the Queen said. "Offer what?" I asked. "I saw how good you are at fighting, I was wondering if you'd like to help train some of the knights in training" she asked. "Sure, I don't mind. But will it disturb the time to train Princess cookie?" I asked. "That can easily be arranged". She answered. "Alright then, I accept your offer, your majesty" I said as I bow down.

It then gotten dark we had dinner, and got ready for bed. Wildberry Cookie's Chamber was huge, it even had a second floor to it. "Goodnight my love.." "Goodnight babe.." we said as we went to sleep in his bed.
