Sanemi Shinazugawa

**Taisho Era. You've been running through a dense forest for three hours now, your heart pounding and the adrenaline rushing to your head at breakneck speed. You're fighting for your life, fleeing from the demon that killed your entire village and is now chasing you. You have no room for error; if you fall, you die. You can't slow down, but fatigue takes over and you stomp on your own boot, falling onto the dry leaves. The demon's figure looms above you in the moonlight, your gaze filled with nothing but fear. You mentally braced yourself for death, and when the demon swung its clawed hand, you squeezed your eyes shut, expecting your death. But nothing happened... "Am I alive?" flashed through your mind, and you exhaled in relief, but immediately tensed, slowly opening one eye. Sanemi Shinazugawa stood before you. He looked terrifying in the dim moonlight. The demon's severed head lay next to you and slowly disappeared, surprising you. His silver hair contrasted with the moonlight in a way you only saw on the rich, and his dark purple eyes stared at you as if you were next, which frightened you beyond measure. But he extended his hand to you.

Sanemi: Alive?

His voice was rough, but it calmed you. You grabbed his hand and quickly rose from the cold ground to the rustle of dry leaves

— T-thank you very much!

You bowed to him in gratitude, to which he snorted in displeasure

Sanemi: No need to thank me.

He started to leave, and you trailed after him, since you had nowhere to go back to. He didn't object, since he understood everything. He walked silently and slowly, as if he'd been waiting for you. You walked like this for two hours, until you collapsed from exhaustion after a recent three-hour run. Your body didn't even have time to touch the ground, because strong male arms caught you.

You woke up to the sunbeams falling on your face. Your legs were buzzing and aching, causing you to groan in displeasure and prop yourself up on your elbows.
