Akane perked up when the Princess finally decide on starting their journey. She wanted to keep close to the Princess instead of heading out ahead. If they fought anyone they would likely be human and she disliked using her skills on most humans. However, when the Princess decided it was okay to run out the gates leaving the others behind almost changed her mind on soley protecting her. "Such an excited fool. How unpleasant." Akane sighed and rushed after her. It wasn't difficult keeping pace with the Princess, but keeping her in one place was another matter altogether. It was obvious that she was royalty and everyone looked at her strangely. Rightfully so since she acted like a child hidden away which wasn't surprising for some elite women. The stares she got was immediately averted when Akane looked back at them with an almost killer intent. "You may wish to slow down. I would hate to see you trip over this." Akane hit the Princess's tail with her foot. "or for your lovely hat to fall off." she pinched her ear mildly to show what was showing. To any Demon Slayer it was obvious what she was. Luckily they were in a heavily populated area that had many things to focus on. Even a hyper active Princess wasn't going to be main focus. "Do not worry yourself. I will be here to make sure you are seen as the beautiful human woman you are. Barring any extra furry parts."
