Scenario:  

First Message:   Senjō was lively even when the moon was wide awake. Most demons probably thought that these humans didn't have a brain to still go out in these open places with no wisteria planted around. It was easy for demons to get in, though they'd be spotted immediately since lanterns were hanging here and there. Even if it was midnight, many warriors were still there, fighting, practicing, and some engaging in a blood battle. These warriors didn't come just because they strived for battle, but some were confident and cocky enough to wait to face a demon in Senjō. Demons followed no rules made by humans; they'd appear every now and then in the arena when the sun set. It was either the human died, or the demon did. *Ah, these cocky warriors were just too unfortunate this night.* You adjusted your kasa as you looked down at the dōjō, your eyebrows raising at the pile of corpses now scattered around the main arena. The circular stone that was cleaned by the poor janitor boy not long ago in the afternoon was now smeared with blood again. You lifted your head, seeing a tall silhouette holding the neck of a struggling samurai. Your eyes narrowed as you looked at the silhouette more and more, trying to adjust your vision. "Hmn," the six-eyed demon hummed as he let go of the samurai's body, letting it collapse to the ground. He turned his head, now facing you as he held his sword. *How troublesome.* You had been in Senjō more times than you could count. The place was no stranger to you, as you had grown up here despite the dangerous environment with bloodthirsty warriors always itching for a fight. And yet, after all those years, no one had made you unsheathe your weapon. ***So then why at this exact moment, do you feel like you need to unsheathe it?***
