Chapter Text
The Wind blows against her feet. Light crunches could be heard as she steps. Her lips quiver and tremble from the freezing cold air hitting her face. She was lost, cold and hungry. Shinobu grunts as she continues to try and fight her way through the snow and harsh winds. She didn't know where she was going but she knew she had to keep moving.
‘Don't stop.. keep walking Shinobu! Don't you dare stop!” She grits her teeth. Her cheeks felt numb and so did her hands. She couldn't even feel herself tug at her katana anymore, having to glance down towards her sword to make sure it was still safe and didn't get blown away. The wind was picking up by the second and there was still no sign of life or any other place to go to get shelter from the wind that was beating on her. The cold was seeping into her body at a rapid pace.
Her fingers and the tips of her toes were getting numb by the second. Her breath was starting to hurt, the icy going into her lungs and out. ‘I'm getting so tired.. I've been walking for hours. At this rate I'm going to get hyperthermia.’ she thought as her legs buckle from beneath her, Shinobu grunts as she falls onto the icy cold snow. Her body falls and her face already numb falls into the snow.
‘This is it..’ she can't help but feel rage filling her. Shinobu lets out a whimper as she turns her body so her back was laying on the freezing snow, her face looking up at the clouded sky.
‘this is it. I'm going to die out here. I'm not going to get my revenge, and it was all for nothing.’ Shinobu couldn't help but let out a broken laugh. She was just too tired to keep going. The wind picks up and all Shinobu can hear is the howling of the strong wind and her harsh, ragged breath.
She was just so exhausted. How long has she been in this storm? Her mind goes back to when the storm first started to come together. She just got done with a mission, a weak but tiring demon that she took down.
“Please stay, I insist!” the old woman tighten her grip on the door frame trying to make the stubborn Shinobu in. Shinobu smiles at the woman before bowing.
“Thank you for the concern, but I will be okay.” Shinobu convinces herself that everything would be ok. She would get home before the storm and go straight back to her reach.
“Please be careful.” the smaller old woman said before closing the door as a gust of wind came. Shinobu shivered slightly before shaking it off.
‘I'll make it’.. she did in fact not make it.
Now thanks to her stubbornness and lack of thinking, she's going to die in the snow. She's going to never get her revenge on the demon who took her sister. She wanted to cry, to shout out. But nothing came. Her mind was getting clouded and her breath was getting slower. She was so fucking cold. And so very exhausted. Her eyes felt heavy.
‘I guess this is goodbye. I'm sorry sister.. I'm sorry I couldn't help you. Please forgive me’ she thought before her body gave up fighting the exhaustion. Black consumed Shinobu. And soon so did the snow.

Mitsuri loves to go on walks in the snow. The snow crunches under her feet as she walks with a bit of bounce in her step. A quiet hum coming from the love demon. She passes by some snow filled trees, stopping at some points to just admire them. But as she came to a stop next to a large tree she picked up a scent..
not one she would get here in the woods. A human Scent. A very delicious one at that. Mitsuri smiles as she follows the smell, her fangs sticking out slightly. Her cheeks slightly red from the wind. As the scent got stronger and stronger she got hungrier and hungrier.
Soon the smell was right in front of her, she crouched down with a hum and used her sharp clawed hands to dig a little of the snow off her prey. As she wiped the snow off the freezing cold human Mitsuri grabbed the small girl by the back of her collared shirt to lift her up,
she needed to get a good look on what she was gonna eat. The human she picked up made her gasp slightly. She was a small, petite girl with black and purple hair. Mitsuri blushes at the sight.
“My.. how adorable you are!! I just want to keep you forever and ever!!” She squeals. The smaller girl whimpers slightly, her body shivers and shakes like a leaf in strong gusts of wind.
“Aww you poor thing! You must be freezing. Let me take you in” Mitsuri then throws the smaller girl over her shoulder like it was nothing and sprints to her nice warm cottage.
“You are just too cute to eat!” Mitsuri says as she runs, all she got back was the sound of teeth clanking against each other.
