Tanjiro: "HIBIKI-SAN!"

Inosuke: "HEY! WHERE THE HELL DID YOY GO YOU ONI BASTARD!"

Tanjiro and Inosuke were heard calling out towards Y/n, when suddenly they entered the clearing with the large rock in the center, the place were Aiko sat and controlled people, only to find that there was nothing there.

Tanjiro: "That doesn't make any sense, I could have swore Hibiki-san's scent lead over here..."

Inosuke: "Well he must have taken care of that Demon, because it's long gone, and here are all those stupid strings that were controlling all those people."

Inosuke said as he kicked dirt onto said strings while Tanjiro continued looking for signs of their Oni comrade... only to notice a note that had been pinned to a tree. Quickly approaching it, Tanjiro took the note off said tree before reading it to himself... only to gasp in shock, quickly grabbing Inosuke's attention.

Inosuke: "Huh? What's up? Is there another Demon to Kill?"

Tanjiro: "No... it's this note from Hibiki-san."

Inosuke: "Well, what's it say?"

Tanjiro: "The Ongeki Oni of the Guitar, Todoroki is at the top of this moutain, Hibiki-san's probably going after him."

Inosuke: "Hmm? That's it? Another weird Oni thing?"

Tanjiro: "That's not all... One of the Twelve Kizuki is residing in this moutain, a Demon named Rui."

Inosuke: "Hmm... The Hell is a Kizuki?"

Inosuke asked, as Y/n was seen quickly making his way up the Moutain, his right eye healing as he got closer and closer to the top, as the forest's trees slowly went from full and green, to burnt, black and dead.

"Owowow!!"

In another part of the Forest, Zenitsu was seen with his Sparrow sitting on his head, standing there looking at his hand angrily.

Zenitsu: "Something just pricked me! What the hell! I'm so frustrated!"

Zenitsu said before he continued marching forwards on his quest to save Nezuko.

Zenitsu: "I can't find Tanjiro, Inosuke and Hibiki-san anywhere! Where did they go?"

Zenitsu began as he suddenly came to a fork in the road.

Zenitsu: "Great, Now what!? Something really stinks around here too, gross! I think I'm gonna cry. And the sound of these spiders running is so creepy! I'm sure they're just doing their best to survive like me but it's just so creepy."

*Skitter*

Zenitsu: "...... BE QUIET! STOP MOVING AROUND!"

Zenitsu: "WHAT AM I EVEN LOOKING AAAATTT!?!?!"

Zenitsu: "EEEEEYYYYYAAAAAA!!!!"

Zenitsu was seen running through the forest with a mass of speed as he screamed to himself in terror.

Zenitsu: "Why did that spider have a Human Face on it!? What is happening right now!? What is happening!? Please be a dream! Please be a dream! Please be a dream! PLEASE BE A DREAM! If I wake up right now I promise to work harder! If I were to wake up in the presence of my precious Nezuko THEN I'D DO ANYTHING! I'll do hard manual labor! I'll even plow fields! A whole acer! No two! JUST LET ME WAKE UP FROM THIS NIGHTMARE!!!!"

Zenitsu yelled... only to suddenly stop in shock at what he saw. A Small house seemingly floating in mid air with a gigantic metal antenna sitting on the top of it, thin threads extended from the house, and off of those threads were people who seemingly hung there, tied up, their hair lost and eyes devoid of live as parts of their skin had begun turning purple with burn marks all over their bodies.

Zenitsu thoughts: "The heck is that? Are those humans that were turned into spiders? Is that house floating? I can't make it out... but are those threads? And it really stinks, talk about pungent, Tanjiro would hate this for sure. The smell is making my throat hurt, and it's erritating my eyes too..."

*VVVVVRRRRRRAAAMMM!!!*

*CCCRRRAAASSSSHHHH-CHCHCHC!*

Zenitsu: "AAAAAHHHHH!!!"

Suddenly the sound of a guitar was heard and echoed loudly, before a bolt of bronze lightning fell from the sky and struck the metal antenna ontop of the floating house, causing a mass of Bronze Electricity to quickly spread through and down the strings, shocking all of those who were connected to them, making their bodies spasm and dance around like crazy, before going limp once again.

Zenitsu thoughts: "WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT NOISE! I-I've never heard anything like it before! It was so loud that it actually hurt my ears! A-And did it just call down a Bolt of Lightning!? WHAT IS GOING ON!?"

Zenitsu thought in panic, when suddenly the house creaked, making the boy panic even more, before a figure seemingly began floating down from the House, revealing his form.

T
[残基]
《/X\》
《X》
V
[Proxy DemOni of the Guitar]
[Zanki]

Zenitsu thoughts: "W-Wh-What the heck is that thing? I-It looks like a Demon... but it's sound... it sounds... like Hibiki-san... and that wepon he's holding... it's just like that odd Instruments I saw Hibiki-san cleaning at the Wisteria House... is it some sort of Oni thing like him... but it still kinda sounds like a Demon... DON'T TELL ME ONIS CAN BE TURNED INTO DEMONS!"

Zanki: "Hehhehhehhehhehheh!"

Zenitsu: ".... YOU BETTER NOT START TALKING TO ME! I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT FROM YOU!"

Zanki: "........"

*ZOOOOM!*

Zenitsu then began running away with extreme speed, tears in his eyes, but as he did, Zanki only laughed.

Zanki: "HEHAHAHAA! There's no point in running away! You've already lost the battle!"

Zenitsu: "I TOLD YOU NOT TO TALK TO ME! I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT SO STOP TALKING! I DON'T WANNA HAVE TO DEAL WITH SOMEONE LIKE YOU, ALRIGHT!?"

Zenitsu yelled as he stopped running, facing the Oni infront of him.

Zanki: "So! You already know how unlucky you are to run into my part of the forest."

Zenitsu: "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?"

Zanki: "Why don't you take a look at those hands of yours."

Zenitsu: "My hands!? What's wrong with my hands!"

Zanki: "JUST LOOK ALREADY!"

Zanki yelled, as Zenitsu hesitantly looked down at the palm of his hand... only to see that the veins in them had become visible as parts of the skin began to turn purple with a large wort like purple bubble under his index finger.

Zanki: "You're poisoned. One of my Pets bit you, and you're gonna become one of them before long. HAHAHAHAHAHAAA! Let's say... half an Hour, so 30 Minutes! Yeah! That's how long I'll play with you! After that time's up you'll be a tiny spider crawling on the ground for me to crush under my feet when I'm bored!"

Zenitsu: "A-A S-Spider?"

Zanki: "Yeah! Isn't that cool!?"

Zenitsu: "NO WAY IS THAT COOL! TURNING INTO A WEIRD SPIDER THING ISN'T COOL!"

Zanki: "HAHAAAA! Hey, the Side effects? They're pretty gross and super painful! Wanna hear bout em?"

Zenitsu: "NO! I ALREADY SAID TO STOP TALKING TO ME!"

Zanki: "TOOO BAD! I'M GONNA TELL YA ANYWAY!"

Zanki yelled before he tossed a Golden Stopwatch into the air before catching it in his hands, revealing the face of it towards Zenitsu.

Zanki: "After the first few minutes, so when the clock hits here, you'll start to feel tingling and pain in all of your limbs. A few minutes after that you'll start to feel dizzy and nauseous. Pretty normal stuff right? But this is when it gets intestesting! After that your body will start to shrink and you'll pass out like these idiots I got here, then I'll be having my fun filling you with a Mass of Voltage and watching your useless limbs flop around as your muscles expand and contract! Oh, and while your unconscious, you'll feel all of the pain, and be completely conscious to what's happening to your body. By the time you wake up... well I'm pretty sure you understand what will happen without me having to tell you. You wanna hear it anyway?"

Zenitsu was full of fear, to scared to talk as he quickly shook his head.

Zanki: "TOO BAD TWO TIMES! Once you wake up... YOU'LL BE JUST LIKE THOSE LITTLE GUYS! A FREAK SO WEAK AND SMALL THAT I CAN KILL YOU WITH A SINGLE STEP!"

Zanki said causing Zenitsu to look down at his feet, suddenly seeing the Human Headed spiders crawling toward him, causing the Thunder Breather to quickly run away, making Zanki laugh.

Zanki: "HEHAHAHAHAAAAA! RUN! RUN! RUNAWAY! YOU LOOK SO FUNNY WHEN YOU DO!"

Zenitsu screamed as he ran up a tree, holding his hands over his ears as he kneeled down with his forehead to the bark, facing away from the DemOni.

Zenitsu: "SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!"

Zanki: "Oh don't be a Baby! Once you turn into a Spider you'll lose your Humanity! You'll have the Brain will be that of an Arachnid just as much as your body is."

Zenitsu: "EXACTLY! THAT'S WHAT I'M WORRIED ABIUT YOU WEIRD MONSTER! WHY CAN'T YOU GET THAT THROUGHT YOU HEAD! SOMEONE LIKE YOU WOULDN'T HAVE ANYONE SPECIAL IN THEIR LIFE!"

Hearing this quickly annoyed Zanki as he growled jumped off of the Sting he was standing on, landing on the ground as he spun his Guitar Ongeki around, until...

*CRASH!*

*CCCRRREEEEE-*

Zenitsu: "WHAHAHAAA-"

*THOOOM!*

Zanki then slashed his Red Guitar Ongeki, known as the Ongeki-Shingen Retsuzan, sending a blade of Bronze Electricity flying through the air, easily cleaving the tree Zenitsu sat on in half, quickly sending the boy and the tree itself to the ground. Zenitsu was now on the ground, quickly backing away as Zanki slowly approached him slowly spinning his Ongeki.

Zanki: "Ya know what? I'm gonna send some voltage through that body of yours! Just to speed up your transformation and keep your mouth shut!"

*VVVVVRRRRRMMMMM!*

*CHCHCHCH!*

Hearing the Spark of Eletricity, Zenitsu quickly looked up from Zanki, only to see a Bolt of Bronze Electricity quickly falling down towards him with beyond extreme speed, causing his thoughts to go something like this.

Zenitsu thoughts: "... A Bolt or Lightning? That Instruments summons Lightning?... I'm gonna die..."

*CCCRRRAAASSSHHHH!!!!*

It was day in the Moutains, falling from a tree that had been burned and scared perfectly down the middle, Zenitsu was seen falling from this tree, smoke radiating from his body as he fell.

Zenitsu thoughts: "I'm about to get stuck by lightning a second time... how unlucky can I get... the first time it changed my hair color..."

*CCCRRRAAASSSHHH!!!!*

Zenitsu: "WWWHHHAAAA!!!!"

Back on Mount Natagumo, Zenitsu was seen jumping out of the way of the Bronze Bolt right before it hit him. Zenitsu thougut he was safe for a moment... but.

Zanki: "You dodged that attack? Haha! So you're fast! GOOD! NOW KEEP RUNNING!"

*FWOOO-CRASHING!*

Zenitsu: "AAAAAHHHH!"

Zanki quickly appeared before him, swinging his Ongeki Shingen over his head, ready to lob Zenitsu's head off, but the Thunder Breather quickly jumped out of the way again as he began running, making Zanki laugh more.

Zanki: "HEHEHAHAHAAAA! KEEP ON RUNNING! THE MORE YOU MOVE THE FASTER THE POISON WILL EFFECT YOU!"

Zanki roared as he struck the strings of his Ongeki again, sending an Arcing Bolt of Lighting flying through the air, bouncing off different Spiders that chased after Zenitsu as he ran, quickly catching up to him, but right before the attack could hit, Zenitsu quickly dived out of the way, dodging the attack with ease, but before he could get back up again, Zanki was seen above him again, his Ongeki both hands as he tried to stab the tip of it into the Thunder Breather, forcing him to quickly roll on the ground to dodge the attack.

Zenitsu thoughts: "Every time I dodge he appears right on my tail and attacks! He shoots lighting and can move as fast as it! WHAT'S WITH THIS GU-"

Suddenly Zenitsu stopped moving causing Zanki to stop as he was ready to launch another attack, the DemOni was confused for a moment but chuckled anyway... meanwhile, Zenitsu was seen looking at the ground as he saw Tufts of his hair sitting in the dirt infront of him.

Zenitsu: "My Hair's Already Falling out? Wait... HE NEVER TOLD ME THAT WOULD STARR HAPPENING!"

*Skitter!*

Zenitsu: "AHH! N-NO! STAY AWAY FROM ME! ALL OF YOU! GET AWAY! AAAHHHH!! THIS IS ALL TOO MUCH FOR ME TO HANDLE RIGHT NOW!"

Z

enitsu yelled as the Human Headed Spiders slowly approached him.

Zanki: "AHAHAHAHAAHAAA! AHHA! AHAHHHHH! Oh man! You are hilarious! Every tiny little thing scares the everliving shit outta you at every turn! IT'S HILARIOUS! HAHAHAHAAAA! No wonder your Friends Abandoned You!"

Zenitsu: "W-What?"

Zanki: "Oh, you think I don't know? You see! Every Demon Slayer who has walked onto this Moutain has had atleast One Ally at their side! A Friend! A Partner! And you, you're all alone with your little birdy! AND EVEN THAT FLEW AWAY! And I can totally see why! BECAUSE YOU'RE SUCH A WORTHLESS DEMON SLAYER! You cry and Whine and Run Away from anything that even seems slightly Threatening! How did you even become a Slayer? No, how have you even be able to pick up a sword without being afraid of the Blade!?... I might have an idea why your friends ditched you... THEY DIDN'T CARE ENOUGH ABOUT YOU TO STICK BY YOUR SIDE AND PROTECT YOU! THEY JUST WANTED YOU TO DIE!"

The DemOni roared, making Zenitsu's eyes widen in shock as tears continued to stream down them.

Zanki: "WOAHMAN! YOU ARE SUCH A WEAKLING! YOU'RE STILL CRYING!? AHAHAHAHAAAAA! EVEN THE NORMAL HUMANS WHO BECOME MY LITTLE PETS TO CRY THIS MUCH! YOU'RE SUCH A BABY! NO WONDER YOUR FRIENDS LEFT YOU TO DIE!"

Zenitsu Thoughts: "Even after getting struck by lightning that day... I was so grateful just to be alive... but even so... I-I hate myself more than anyone for being like this... running away and cowering in fear... I am pathetic... just like this guy's says..."

Zenitsu faced the ground as he continued to cry and Zanki continued to laugh at him... until...

Zenitsu: "... I wanna change..."

Zanki: "Wha?"

Zenitsu: "I wanna become a capable individual... but the fact is... I'M DOING ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING I CAN! BUT I STILL HAVE TO BE TURNED INTO SOME HORRIFIC SPIDER CREATURE! WWWHHHYYY!?!?!"

Zanki: "..... PPFFFF!!! HAAHAHAHAAAAA! HERE I WAS EXPECTING SOME COOL OVER TOP SPEECHES LIKE IN THOSE MANGA STORIES BIG BRO TODOROKI TOLD ME ABOUT! BUT ALL YOU STARTED DOING WAS START CRYING EVEN HARDER! HAAHAHAHAAAAAHAHAHA!"

Zanki laughed before he spun his Ongeki again, launching another Blade of Lightning at Zenitsu, forcing him to jump away once again, still crying.

Zanki: "You know what? Maybe I shouldn't turn you into a Spider, heheheh! Maybe I should keep you as a Human! and keep you around as Big Bro's Little Jester when he makes his Almighty Wish!"

Zanki said with a menacing spark of electricity flying off his body, causing Zenitsu's fear to reach it's limit as he suddenly fainted, looking as though his soul flew out of his mouth. As Zenitsu was seen slowly falling to the ground, Zanki was heard laughing his ass off at the fact that Zenitsu had fainted... but...

Zenitsu:
"Thunder Breathing...
First Form:
Thunder-Clap-And-Flash."

*FWOOCHZZZZ-*

*CLANG!*

Suddenly, Zenitsu flew forwards in a flash of light, moving as if he was a bolt of lightning, flying at Zanki and just as quickly slashing at him, but the DemOni was just as fast, if not faster, blocking the attack with the blade of his Ongeki-Shingen... but now... he had stopped laughing.

Zanki thought: "Th-The hell? What happened to this little crybaby! He fainted and now he Flys at me like an actual Demon Slayer. It's like he's a Different Person now!"

Zanki quickly deflected Zenitsu blade away before slashing upwards, sending a Bolt of Lightning into the sky, but Zenitsu was able to quickly jump away from the attack as he stood in a familiar stance, ready to attack... Zanki, knowing that the boy infront of him had actually become a Threat, gripped his Ongeki tightly and spun it around a bit.

Zanki: "Hehehe! Looks like I judged you a bit too soon. You wanna get serious now?"

Zenitsu: "It's time you died... foul Demon."

The boy said as he sheathed his blade, getting into his Stance.

Zanki: "Ha! You kill me? HA! I am Zanki! Proxy to the Sacred Ongeki Oni, Todoroki! Lord of Lightning! Heir to Electricity! I hold a Fraction of his Amazing Power mixed with my own Immense Abilities! YOU THINK YOU CAN DEFEAT ME!? YOU MUST BE ASKING TO DIE!"

Zenitsu:
"Thunder Breathing...
First Form:"

Zanki:
"Ongeki-Shingen Art:"

"Thunder-Clap-And-Flash!"

"ZANKI!!!"

*FWOOO-CCCHHHHZZZZZ-*

*CCCLLLAAASSSHHHH!!!*

Zenitsu and Zanki both dashed forwards, disappearing for a moment, replaced with a Yellow and Bronze Bolts of Lightning for a moment, before crashing into eachother with a mass of speed and power, causing both a mass of Yellow and Broze electricity to spark and clash between the two as the struggled to overpower eachother, until suddenly, Zanki got the upper hand, overpowering Zenitsu as he slashed sending a Bolt of lighting flying as he did, but Zenitsu jumped away at the last second, quickly sheathing his sword mid air as he face Zanki, but the DemOni gave Zenitsu no time to wait as he slashed his sword again, sending another blade of lightning flying at the Thunder Breather, but Zenitsu was able to quickly jump away, dodging the lightning bolt before flying at Zanki with extreme speed as he slashed, but Zanki quickly dodged away himself, keeping the distance of a few feet between the two.

Zenitsu thoughts: "He keeps forcing me to dodge so that he can keep attacking me from a distance... wait..."

Zanki thoughts: "Tch, he keeps getting flying towards me and getting close inorder to do that unsheathing slash attack... wait..."

Zenitsu & Zanki thoughts:
"Is that... the only Technique he knows?"

《Flash》

Zenitsu's Master: "Don't worry about it Zenitsu, that's good enough progress. Mastering even one is cause for celebration. If you can only do one thing hone it to perfection. Work on refining it to it's upmost perfection, and then push past it!"

Zenitsu thoughts: "But gramps... just a while ago, you were really angry... because Thunder Breathing has 6 Forms... and all I can manage to do.. is one..."

*Blam Blam Blam Blam*

Gramps: "Do you know what the process of forging a sword is? When making a sword you hammer and hammer to get rid of impurities and anything else you don't need. The greater the purity of the blade, then more durable it becomes."

*Blam Blam Blam Blam*

Z

enitsu thoughts: "But I'm not made of steel... I'm made of flesh..."

Gramps: "Perfect it Zenitsu. It's alright to cry, just don't ever give up, believe in yourself. You endured all that hellish training. You'll be rewarded for that without question. Work to forge yourself like a tempered blade! And become the most resilient of all! Focus on what you do best!"

《Flash》

??????: "Get out of here."

Zenitsu: "Huh?"

In a garden of peaches, Zenitsu was seen standing before a boy with shaggy black hair who ate one of the peaches angrily.

??????: "You gonna make me repeat myself? Leave my sight. You know why. The way you cry like a baby all day, aren't you ashamed of yourself? Tch! Good for nothing! Any effort spent on you is an absolute waste of time, our teacher is an extraordinary man."

Zenitsu: "BUT GRAMPS TOLD ME THA-"

*SPLAT!*

??????: "HEY YOU! DON'T GO BEING ALL FAMILIAR AND CALLING HIM GRAMPS! HE'S A FORMER HASHIRA! HE ATTAINED THE HIGHEST RANK IN THE DEMON SLAYER CORPS! Hardly anyone ever gets to be trained by a former Hashira! The time he spends on you is all for nothing! IT'S INFURIATING TO SEE! I HATE EVEN LOOKING AT YOU SO GET OUT! Why are you even here? Why do you insist on clinging on LIKE A PATCH OF MOLD!"

《Flash》

Zenitsu thoughts: "I have no parents, no one who has hopes for me... no one with dreams that one day, I'll be able to accomplish something important. Not even a thing as simple proving that I'm useful to someone, by protecting them, or making them happy... just once in my life... I have no one like that. If you mess up or cry, or runaway even once, this guy's no good, and walk away... or so I thought! Time and time again, gramps would run my through my paces, I tried running away numerous times, but each time I did he'd drag me right back. He smacked me around a little too much for my liking... but he never abandoned me... and even then... he wasn't the only one..."

《Flash》

*SPLASH!*

Zenitsu: "PBBB! PHAAA! I'M UP! I'M UP! QUIT IT GRAMPS!"

"Oi... who the hell are you calling Gramps?"

In the middle of the night, Zenitsu was seen with a sword on his waist as he was sleeping on the ground, only to be awoken by water hitting his face... as as he turned to see who new voice belonged too... he was quickly shocked... at what he saw...

Zenitsu: "D-DE-DEMON!!!"

Zenitsu screamed in panic as he quickly backed away from the man with tears in his eyes. The man was silent for a moment before he took a step forwards, quickly causing Zenitsu to panic as he got into a very shaky version and wrong version of a sword stance.

???: "The hell are you doing?"

Zenitsu: "I-I-I'm n-not gonna let you e-eat me-me Demon! I-I'll c-cut your h-head off! So don't c-come any cl-closer!"

???: "....... If you swing that sword with that weak grip it's gonna fly out of your hand."

Zenitsu: "H-Huh?"

???: "*Sigh* Here."

Suddenly the Demon appeared directly infront of Zenitsu, causing him to shake in even more fear... but...

???: "This sword is your lifeline, hold onto it is if it was your heart, and he second you let go you die."

This quickly made Zenitsu tighten his grip as much as he could.

???: "Legs out, feet forwards, go down a little bit, lower your sword, tighten your grip, relax you muscles when you hold your blade and use them when you swing or you'll tire yourself out... now stop shaking."

Zenitsu: "I-I-"

*BLAM!*

???: "I said stop Shaking!"

Zenitsu: "Y-YES SIR!"

The Demon had helped Zenitsu get into seemingly the perfect stand to swing a sword, before he stood wide open infront of the boy, tapping the left side of his neck with his right hand.

???: "With every you got, slash like your life depends on it."

With tears streaming down his face, Zenitsu slashed, but as he did, the Demon caught the blade, making the Boy's eyes widen for a moment, before the Demon let go of the sword and looked at his hand, seeing that it hadn't bee injured what so ever.

???: "Again."

Zenitsu: "Wait wha!?"

???: "Do it again!"

The two of them continued, with Zenitsu slashing his sword and the Demon catching it, taking no damage from his hand at all... the two continued until sunrise, but even then they continued this odd training as the Sun sat in the middle of the sky, signifying that it was noon.

???: "SLASH WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT! DO IT RIGHT NOW!"

Zenitsu: "HHHYYYAAAHHH!!!!"

*GLASH!*

Zenitsu slashed, but as he did, this time the blade went completely throught the Demon's right hand, cutting the top of it clean off. This shocked the boy, but it made the Demon chuckle happily.

???: "Hmph. One hell of a Swing. Alright, seeya kid."

The Demon said as he began walking past Zenitsu confusing him.

Zenitsu: "W-Wait!"

???: "Hmmm?"

Zenitsu: "W-Why? Why did you do all that you me? You don't even know me at all, a-and you're a Demon of all things!"

???: ".... I had this Philosophy in my past life. You shouldn't leave a kid on his own unless you know he can handle himself. Last light, you couldn't cut a blade of grass with the way you held that sword, but now look what you can do. You just cut off my entire hand. And if you can do that, then you have enough skill to cut off a Demon's Head."

Hearing this shocked Zenitsu as the demon continued walking away.

???: "I believe in ya kid. With skills like those I know you're gonna do some amazing things, you might become the best swordsman in the world! Anyway.
Ja Ne."

Zenitsu stared at the Demon's back, as he walked off, a mass of shock still in his eyes.

Zenitsu thoughts: "You don't remember me at all... but I remember everything you did for me, even if it was a tiny step to much bigger things... without you, I might not be here without your help... and even if you didn't recognize me... I recognized you as soon as I heard that odd almost demon like, yet unique sound coming from you... Hibiki-san..."

《Flash》

Zanki: "Hehhh!"

Back in the present, Zenitsu and Zanki were seen still staring eachother down, when suddenly, Zanki pulled out his pocket watch and tapped the top of it with his thumb, stopping the clock, before tossing it onto of the flouting house.

Zanki: "This sudden change of yours has earned my respect, I'll stop the poison for now, but it's only a temporary pause. Once it's in your system I can't stop it any further. In a few minutes that clocks gonna start ticking again... but I know all the time we need for out battle will be a few seconds."

Hearing this made Zenitsu tighten his stance as the human headed spider quickly backed away from the Human and Oni.

Zanki: "Your name, tell it to me Human."

Zenitsu: "Zenitsu Agasuma."

Zanki: "My name was Raitaro Kagemaru, but I now go by the name Zanki, the Proxy Oni of Lightning. You and I have only mastered one technique taught by our masters correct?"

Zenitsu: "..."

Zanki:
"Alright then! I want to see which one is the Strongest!
A STIKE OF LIGHTNING!
OR AN ECHO OF THUNDER!"

Zenitsu:
"Thunder Breathing...
First Form:
Thunder-Clap-And-Flash..."

A mass of electrical power began radiating off of Zenitsu as his white eyes shot wide open, revealing their empowered nature. The air began to shake like crazy, while the ground under him catered as more and more lighting sparked off of his body.

*VRRRRR-BRM! BR! BRRRRRR!*

Zanki:
"ONGEKI-SHINGEN ART:
ZANKI..."

"THUNDER/LIGHTING
STORM!"

*CRASH-FWOOOOCHZZZZ!*

Suddenly the two seemed to Disappear... but this wasn't true, as two bolts of Lightning, one bright yellow, and the other a Demonic Bronze, flew around the Forest Clearing with a Mass of Extreme speed, crashing into eachother over and over causing the sound of Thunder to Echo as Zanki and Zenitsu clashed their blades. Zanki then flew down as Zenitsu flew up, the two clashing their blades once again before deflecting eachother, quickly sending eachother in the directions they came from. Zenitsu quickly landed on the ground, while Zanki was sent even higher into the sky. The DemOni quickly spun his Ongeki around before slashing, sending a mass of Bronze Lightning Bolts flying down toward Zenitsu with a mass of speed. The Thunder Breather quickly jumped around dodging the bolts left and right, flying around with extreme speed. But as Zanki sent one final massive bolt of electricity flying at Zenitsu, the Thunder Breather exhaled, before the grip on his sword tightened as he jumped up, a bight yellow bolt of lighting flying at the incoming Bronze attack, but right when the attack was going to hit him, Zenitsu twisted his body mid air, dodging the attack as he landed on the top of the Floating house, his foot stepping on Zanki's watch, shattering it as he used his immense power to send himself flying into the air at Zanki... and in the seconds in took too this battle of thunder and Lightning to Begin and Subsequently end, a thought came to Zanki's mind... Lightning... a simple flash of light that appears and destroys the things that it touches... a single bolt only stays for a moment... but Thunder... born from lighting... it echoes for those all around to hear it... one person might see a bolt of Lightning... but everyone will hear the crash of Thunder.

*THOOOOOOOOMMMM!*

Zanki: "G-GAHAHAAA!!!"

And in the moment... a battle that only laster mere seconds was decided just as quickly as it started.

*FWOOO-*

*THUD!*

Falling from their attacks, Zenitsu landed back first ontop of the floating house, while Zanki next to him, his head perfectly severed from his body in a single clean cut.

Zenitsu: "KAHA!"

Zenitsu coughed as he laid there, blood shooting out of his mouth as he laid there, staring at the moon.

Zanki: "If you don't wanna die then use that Breathing thing..."

Zenitsu turned seeing Zanki laying opposite him as his body slowly disinterested.

Zenitsu: "Y-You're still alive?"

Zanki: "Not for long... so shut up and listen... I... Apologize for making fun of you Zenitsu Agatsuma."

Zenitsu: "Wha-"

Z

anki: "I said Shut Up!... and the reason I'm apologizing is... I shouldn't have made fun of someone so much stronger than I am... and I don't mean raw strength... I mean something else... I want to to take my Ongeki-Shingen Retsuzan..."

Zenitsu: "... Why?..."

Zanki: "... Zenitsu Agatsuma... to me, Lightning and Thunder are brothers born from Raijin... for a man of Lightning and Thunder to fight like this... has made us brothers... and I wish to see my Brother grow stronger even in the after life... the Dying with of a Demon means nothing... but hear mine... take my Ongeki... master the Ongeki-Shingen Art of Zanki... and use it to strike down your enemies... become a man not only of Thunder... but of Lightning aswell... use your power and strike as if you were the Incarnation of Raijin..."

Zenitsu: "..... I'll be sure to do that... Zanki..."

Zanki: "Heheheheh! Thank You Thunder Broth-"

In that moment, the last part of Zanki was done, leaving only a few tears he had shed.

Zenitsu thoughts: "......... I just wanna Dream... a happy peaceful dream... in it I'm more powerful than anyone... I'm able to help the weak, anyone in trouble anytime... and everything that Gramps Taught me... all the time he spends wasn't for nothing... in this dream... I became strong and was able to help alot of people... and thanks all of Gramps Training and Wisdom... thanks to Hibiki-san's help aswell... and thank to what you've given me and taught me Zanki... I might just be able to make that dream come true..."

Zenitsu was seen hugging his Ongeki-Shingen Retsuzan onto his chest as he laid there, blood coming from his nose and mouth as he laid there. Zenitsu's Sparrow, Chutaro, was seen chirping loudly with tears in it's own eyes before it flew off. After a few moments, Zenitsu began breathing with complete and utter concentration as he continued to lay there unmoving.

Zenitsu thoughts: "Don't ever give up... I can use the Breathing Technique Graps taught me to slow down the poison just like Zanki said... all that time ago... you wouldn't have left me on my own like this if you knew I couldn't handle this, right Hibiki-san... even after those years of training... even after you've forgotten about me... even after I just cut your head off... I feel like you should all hate me... but I know... you all beyond believe in me..."

*THOOOOOOOOMMMM!*

Y/n: ".........."

Yashirama: "........"

At the very top of the moutain, a mass of burned and dead trees sat around. A small house was seen sitting at the top of the moutain, with the Oni of Guitar, Todoroki, or Yashirama sitting there, a small pipe in hand with his Guitar Ongeki sitting at his side. Y/n was seen standing infront of this house, his wounds all healed as Yashirama stared at the giant storm cloud covering the sky.

Yashirama: "It's been a while, huh, Y/n Kohiro."

The Lightning Oni asked, as Y/n continued glaring at you.

Yashirama: "Hehehe! What's with the look? And why are you all quiet? Aren't you gonna say hello to your Older Brother?"

Y/n: "We aren't related, and we were never Brothers... I was just a tool for you to use and throw away."

Yashirama: "Tch! Don't try and play that I betrayed you Crap! You've used and played with a hellova lot more people than I did!"

Y/n: "That's different!"

Yashirama: "And how so? Explain that to me."

Y/n was silent at this causing Yashirama to laugh.

Yashirama: "So the Most Selfish man's a giant ass Hypocrite. Add that to your list of Sins. To think that the God's would choose you as one of the Seven Sacred Oni. One of the 7 of us to get an Almighty wish."

Y/n: "Between you, me and Daishinji, I'm pretty sure the Gods aren't to interested in the people who are Pure of Heart."

Yashirama: "Hmhmhm! Y/n Kohiro, to think you'd be the Oni I face first... fate is just as satisfying as it is cruel."

Yashirama began as he rose to his feet.

Yashirama: "Knowing that you're Hibiki, I'd be beyond pissed if anyone but myself was the one who killed your ass!"

Y/n: "Hmph, you're delusional. Your death was by my hands in my past life, and it's going to be by those same hands that you die again."

Yashirama: "Let's see who's right then?"

*TA-TANG!*

*TING!*

*FWOOOSH!*

*CRASH!*

Hibiki: "Yashirama Gushiken... the Oni Of Lightning... Todoroki..."

Todoroki: "Y/n Kohiro! The Of Drums! Hibiki!"

"DIE FOR MY ALMIGHTY WISH!"

"Combined Junior and Senior Highschool!"

"TALES OF A DEMON SLAYEE ACADEMY!"

Y/n, Daishinji, Zanki & Yashirama: "With Onis!"

Nezuko: "HMHMM!"

Zenitsu was seen standing infront of the school gate writing in a note, as both students and teachers walked inside.

Zenitsu thoughts: "Our prefect's day starts early. I'd quit but there's one thing keeping me going, and that's checking the dress code! I can admire the girls all I want and not get yelled at!"

Nezuko was seen onto the scene with her signature bread in mouth with her Black and Red Sailor uniform.

Zenitsu: "Morning Nezuko!"

Next was Makomo, (ghost water breathing girl that wasn't in this story) who wore the same black savior uniform as Nezuko, she was walking side by side with Shinobu, (a yet to be introduced character we all know because most of the Demon Slayer Stories on Wattpad are X Shinobu) she was seen wearing the same yellow uniform as Zenitsu but a more female version of it fitted with a skirt.

Zenitsu: "Makomo's looking cute today too! And the Zenpai's gorgeous!"

"THUNDER BROTHER!"

Zenitsu: "AH! Oh no not you!"

Zenitsu turned only to see a man wearing a Black and Purple Uniform, he had Black shoulder length Spiky hair with Bronze Lines in it, his face held a constant smile with lighting bolts in his eyes as he carried a large guitar case on his back.

Zanki: "Why the heck are you wasting your time here! When you could be learning how to play Guitar like you Big Brother!"

Zenitsu: "WE AREN'T RELATED! AND I'M NOT JOINING YOUR STUPID BAND ZANKI!"

Zanki: "YOU DON'T HAVE A CHOICE!"

Zenitsu: "AAAAHHH!! STAY AWAY FROM ME!"

Zanki then began chasing Zenitsu, trying to force his guitar onto him... but...

Zanki: "JOIN THE BAND ALREADY! YOU HAVE TOO!!!"

Zenitsu: "I DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING! I JUST WANNA CHECK OUT THE GIRLS WITHOUT GETTING YELLED AT!"

"Ahem!"

Zenitsu yelled but as he did he found himself infront of the entire female student body who all glared down at him.

Zenitsu: "U-Uh B-Bro... a little help h-"

Zanki: "I RESPECT YOUR DESTINATION NOT TO JOIN OUR BAND! GOOD LUCK ZENITSU!"

Zenitsu: "OH COME ON!!!"

Zanki was seen outside the school gates as the sound of Zenitsu getting beat up echoes from the background.

Zanki: "Next time on
Demon Slayer: Song For Gods
Episode 13
Hibiki vs Todoroki!
Preform The Kamigami No Uta."

Zenitsu: "HHHEEELLLPPP MMMEEE!"

Zanki: "It was nice being in the Story for as long as I was! Hope you guys can forgive me for being a jerk!"

Zenitsu: "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!"

[END!]

Anyway

Spider Brother: "HOLD ON! If you weren't me this whole time then where the hell was I!?

Zanki: "Oh yeah, the author didn't like you, but he really liked the fight, so your dead and I stole your powers."

Spider Brother: "WHAT! HOW DID YOU GET MY POWERS!?"

Zanki: "That is actually going to be explained the beginning of Next Episode! Be sure to read carefully!"

Spider Brother: "ANSWER MY QUESTION DAMMIT!"

Zanki: "WHAGWAWHA!"
