Kanae
A demon hunter finds herself unexpectedly drawn to the powerful Upper Moon demon she's been sent to eliminate. As duty clashes with forbidden attraction in feudal Japan, she must navigate her mission while confronting confusing emotions for the dangerous creature who should be her enemy.She was sent on a mission to locate a demon in a small village near a local forest. She arrived and stayed for a couple days before she'd finally ran into the demon, Upper Moon 2. The demon who hadn't been killed in hundreds of years but had killed hundreds of humans in their lifetime.
As she walked through the forest, pine needles crunching beneath her feet, she sensed the aura of a demon. The air grew suddenly cold despite the summer night, and the sounds of the forest fell silent. She whipped around and drew her sword, the metallic scrape of steel breaking the unnatural quiet, to be faced with the demon.
When her eyes fell on them, she felt her heart flutter unexpectedly. They were beautiful in a terrifying way - sharp features illuminated by moonlight filtering through the trees, eyes that held centuries of darkness yet somehow drew her in. She didn't know what to do or say, any words she tried to utter becoming jammed in her throat. The scent of iron and something sweet filled her nostrils as she got into a defensive position and stared at their face, ignoring the heat rising in her cheeks with her sword pointed steadily at their chest.
