Shinobu Kochou is eight when her life is ruined. She's eight when a demon breaks into her house, shattering the doors in the process, then proceeding to her parents' bedroom. Shinobu is eight when she sees her parents swallowed hole, with her only comfort being Kanae's arms around her. She's eight when she learns how a demon is killed and swears to do so herself.
Shinobu is nine when she and Kanae find Himejima Gyomei and make him train them. She's nine when nightmares haunt her and her only anchor to sanity after said nightmares is Kanae. Shinobu is 9 when she is sent to a cultivator.
She's eleven when she reunites with her sister at the final selection. Kanae hugs her tightly when they both make it out alive, both she and Shinobu crying tears of joy. Finally life was looking better.
A beautiful sunny day when she is twelve Shinobu gets a new sister. Kanao is shy, hallow too, and Shinobu is so frustrated by it, she loved Kanao so much, the little miracle deserved happiness.
Shinobu is fourteen when her happiness burns before her eyes. She's fourteen when she holds her sister' dying body and hears her dying words, contradicting their promise. Shinobu can't fulfill Kanae's will. She can't.
Under the wisteria tree at the Ubuyashiki estate she stands, now fifteen. A pillar. She smiles and grins, yet inside she scowls and yells. She feels like a typhoon is inside her, leaving nothing but destruction in its trail. Shinobu is fifteen and she knows she's broken.
She is eighteen when she knows her target. Shinobu is ready, she lived for revenge after all, so she accepts the fact that she has to die.
Shinobu is eighteen when she cries rivers of tears, thinking about Kanao, Aoi, the little girls. She had so many regrets shattering her heart from a thousand angles. She allows herself to cry just this once. Shinobu knows she has to kill that demon. How could she live in a world where her little sisters are killed? She can't live in such world. Her life be damned Shinobu would kill it.
Shinobu's life ends at eighteen. Douma is killed by her, Kanao and Inosuke, that's all that matters, she's free now.
Shinobu is eighteen when she reunites with her sister and, for the first time in years, happiness finds her again.
