(Tanjiro Pov)
' They wouldn't accept their fellow swordsman travel with a demon! Does that mean that I'll get expelled from the corps?' I wondered.
'But then I won't be able to turn Nezuko back into a human! What should I-'
' Kick!'
Someone kicked me on my back!
My salvia coughed out of my mouth.
I girl stood in front of me. She drew her sword out.
' D- Demon slayer?' I read the kanji on the girls shirt when the wind bowed her jacket out of the way.
I pulled her cloth on my back, making the girl sit on my back.
"Run Nezuko! Run as fast as you can and don't come back!" I yelled as Nezuko sat up.
" You gotta-" Then, I felt a strong kick ok my head. It broke my jaw as it crashed n the ground. I fell unconscious.
(Kanao Pov)
I started running after the demon girl.
I slashed at her, but she shrunk into a child.
' She shrunk into a child.' I thought.
She continued running.
I chased after her while slashing at her.
' She's just dodging instead of attacking...' I thought.
' Well, I don't need to think about that. My job is to kill this demon.' I decided to just kill her without thinking.
(Giyuu Pov)
Kocho and I talked about my behavior on the female demon. Well, it was Kocho who talked about it.
Kocho pulled a small blade out of her shoe and raised her foot towards my face. I was ready to pull my sword out.
"Caw Caw! Bring Tanjiro Kamado and Nezuko Kamado to the headquarters!" A crow yelled out.
" Tanjiro, a demon slayer with a black and green Haori! Nezuko, a demon girl with a bamboo muzzle! Bring them back!" The crow explained.
Kocho and I got out of the pose and walked away.
(Kanao Pov)
The demon girl was sitting on the ground.
I heard what the crow yelled so I can closer to the demon.
"Are you Nezuko?" I asked.
(Third person Pov)
Two Kakushis were walking around, healing some people...
"Hey. Isn't that the boy who is supposed to be brought to the headquarters?" A Kakushi asked.
" He does have a scar... Let's bring him." The other Kakushi decided. They carried him back.
Meanwhile...
"Hey. What's that? Is this a human? It couldn't be a demon, right?" A Kakushi asked several questions.
A Kakushi poked the creatures boar head. It revealed a human head inside.
"It's a human. Let's get him down." Kakushi said.
They untied the rope that was hanging the creature to a tree while carrying the creature.
"Why is he even tangled up like this?" A Kakushi asked.
" No idea." The other answered.
' I couldn't defeat a single demon on my own...' The ' creature' thought. ' Maybe... I'm not as strong as I thought..." It thought.
...
...
...
Tanjiro was being carried by a Kakushi.
Haru, who just finished healing and helping people, walked to the Head along with a few Kakushis.
Nezuko's box was also carried by a Kakushi who was walking with Haru go the headquarters.
The Kakushis were afraid that they would make a mistake because Haru is sure intimidating.
Although, Haru's injuries got a little 'weird' so she had to go back to the wind estate.
..
...
"Oi! Wake up!"
Time passed and Tanjiro was laying on a rocky ground.
"Oi! Wake up!"
"I was told that a demon slayer was traveling with a demon... I expected him to look more flamboyant!"
" But that's one drab-looking dude, huh?"
A Kakushi eventually woke Tanjiro up, who was very suprised about the situation he was in.
"Wh- Who are these peop-" Tanjiro tried to ask, but the Kakushi slammed his head onto the ground.
"You're in a presence of the Hashiras!" He said, annoyed.
' Hashiras?' Tanjiro wondered.
' What are Hashiras?' He wondered more.
' Where am I now?? ' Tanjiro wondered in panic.
"You're at the demon slayer headquarters! And you're about to be put on trial!" Shinobu explained.
" But before we start the trial, why don't you explain the crime that you've been accused of-" She was cut off.
" There's no need for a trial!"
Shinobu looked at that person, a little surprised.
{Flame Hashira: Kyojuro Rengoku}
"Protecting a demon is a clear violation of the code! We're within our rights to deal with him on our own! We're going to head him along with the demon!"
{Sound Hashira: Tengen Uzui}
" In that case, I'll be glad to decapitate him Flamboyantly! I'll show you the most flamboyant bloodspray you'll ever see. I'm talking max Flamboyance!"
{Love Hashira: Mitsuri Kanroji}
' What? You'd kill such an adorable child? That pains my heart! It fills me with anguish!'
{Stone Hashira: Gyomei Himejima}
"Ah, what a pitiful sight this boy is. The poor soul... I pity him for having been born at all."
{Mist Hashira: Muichiro Tokito}
' What was the shape of that cloud again? What was it called again?'
' Nezuko... Nezuko!' Tanjiro looked around for Nezuko, but she was no where to be seen...
"Oi! That Hashiras are speaking! Your eyes should be over to them!" The Kakushi scolded him.
" These are the nine highest ranked swordsmen in the demon slayer corps!" He explained, loudly.
" So these are the Hashira?" Tanjiro mumbled.
" Nezuko.. Where's she? " Tanjiro asked.
" Zenitsu, Inosuke, Nezuko... Murata san!" Tanjiro mumbled while looking around for his friends and sister.
"Nevermind this boy. What will we do with Tomioka?" A voice was heard from a tree near the Hashiras.
"Seeing him just standing there without any restraints is making me sick." The voice continued to speak.
" Based on what Kocho told us, he's just as guilty of breaking the Corps' rules."
{Serpent Hashira: Obanai Iguro}
" How should we make him take responsibility? What kind of lesson shall we teach him?" Obanai questioned the other hashiras.
' Iguro san! I love that sharp-tongued side of yours!' Mitsuri complemented Obanai in her head.
The camer- I mean the attention goes to Giyuu, who's standing a few meters away from the rest of the Hashiras.
' Tomioka san! You're standing there all alone! How handsome!' Mitsuri complemented Giyuu in her head as usual.
{Water Hashira: Giyuu Tomioka}
"Oh, I think it's fine since he did come here without resisting after all!" Shinobu commented.
{Insect Hashira: Shinobu Kocho}
"let's come up with a penalty later!" She said, looking down.
" What I'm more interested in... Is hearing this boy's story." She said.
' Tomioka san is in this situation because of me...' Tanjiro thought, feeling guilty about this.
"Tanjiro Kamado. For what purpose are you traveling with a demon?" Shinobu asked, gently.
" You can take your time just answer the question." Shinobu added with her usual smile.
" She's my.. She's my young-"
Tanjiro began coughing.
" You look like you need some water." Shinobu said while walking up to Tanjiro.
"You've damaged your jaw, so please drink slowly. I've added anesthic to the water to help." Shinobu explained.
" Your wounds are still healing, so it would be best if you don't push yourself." She explained again.
Tanjiro swallowed the water and breathed heavily.
"Are you ready to tell us your story now, Tanjiro Kamado kun?" Shinobu asked, patiently.
" This demon is.. my sister. A demon attacked my family when I was gone.. And I've lost them all." Tanjiro explained.
" I've lost them all except Nezuko! She may be a demon, but she's never hurt anyone!" He continued.
" She never has... And never will! She'll never bring harm to a human being!" Tanjiro finished yelling.
" Enough. Spare us the absurd ramblings. Anyone would defend their family." Obanai said, not moved by Tanjiro's words.
"Why should I believe a single word you say? Sorry, but I'm not buying it." Obanai said, coldly.
" Please! Just listen to me! I bacame a swordsman in hopes of finding her a cure!" Tanjiro yelled.
" It has been two while years since Nezuko bacame a demon, but she's never eaten anyone!" He explained.
" Your story telling is lacking any vibrant sparks of color!" Uzui commented like he was in a story telling theater or something.
" She hasn't eaten anyone and never will?If you're going to plead your case, at least make it more interesting to hear!" Uzui said, bored.
" Excuse me? Something about this concerns me." Mitsuri muttered.
" I find it hard to believe that master isn't known about this situation. I don't think we should act without his permission. Shouldn't we wait for master to come first?" Mitsuri mumbled.
" Please let my sister stay by my side! She can fight as a demon slayer to protect humans! I know she can!" Tanjiro shouted.
" Oi oi. What's going on over here?" Sanemi stepped in.
The attention went to him as the camera made a dramatic scene.
"Is that the moron who was traveling with a demon?" Sanemi asked, aggressively. His eyes looked murderous than usual.
"Start talking! What the hell are you trynna pull here?" Sanemi asked, aggressiveness never leaving his eyes.
' Oh! He got new scars! His scars make Shinazugawa san look more cool but scary!' Mitsuri thought.
"Shinazugawa san, please don't act so carelessly." Shinobu said, seriously.
' Oh! Shinobu chan looks a bit mad! That's rare!' Mitsuri thought to herself in her head.
"Come on, say that again kiddo." Sanemi ordered.
" She can fight demons as a demon slayer? Is that what you said?" He asked, craziness in his voice.
" You know what we call that?" He asked again while grabbing his sword, not pulling them out yet.
"Total bullshit you dumbass!" He yelled.
Sanemi pulled his sword out, and stabbed Nezuko right in the heart which caused Nezuko to growl.
Blood slat out as his sword stabbed out of the box.
He drops the box on the floor.
"Anyone who hours my sister.." Tanjiro readied himself, for his ultimate speech.
"Hashira or not.. will pay!" He yelled as he ran in front of the box.
" Oh, really? Well lucky for you I guess!" Sanemi yelled back at poor Tanjiro, while smiling like a maniac.
"Stop this at once! The master will arrive soon!" Giyuu yelled and warned them, especially Sanemi.
When Sanemi was slightly off guard, Tanjiro rushed towards him. Sanemi slashed towards Tanjiro but he jumped up and...
Every Hashira was staring at them, not knowing what Tanjiro would do next.
Tanjiro headbutted Sanemi, which caused Sanemi's nose to bleed and get slammed into the floor.
"Pfft." A little laughter was heard from Mitsuri.
"Sorry!" Mitsuri apologized right after.
" You little brat!" Sanemi yelled.
"The master has arrived." The two creepy twins said.
All the Hashiras shushed themselves.
All the attention went to the master, who was being supportied by his two daughters.
Tanjiro stared at the master, but was interupted by Sanemi, who forced Tanjiro's head to face the ground.
Tanjiro was shock but when he saw all the hashiras bowing to the master, he was absolutely speechless.
"Good morning, to you all. The weather is really nice today. Perhaps the is sky blue?" The master, Kagaya Ubuyashiki greeted.
"Good morning, Master. All of us wish you good heath and luck." Sanemi greeted.
(Please tell me the dialogues for this scene😭 Idk anything 😭)
' Aw! I wanted to great the master!' Mitsuri thought.
"Master, I request that we deal with this issue with Tomioka and this fellow demon slayer! They must be punished!" Sanemi requested.
" Ah, yes. I'm already aware of that. And I would also like you all go accept it." Kagaya calmly said.
The hashiras except Giyuu were all suprised.
"Even if that's what you wish, master! I can't accept it!" Rengoku shouted, with his usual bright smile.
"Yeah! I Flamboyantly disapprove!" Uzui added.
" I shall do whatever you wish, master!" Mitsuri said.
" I hate demons. I'll hate them, I hate them." Obanai muttered.
" As much as I respect you master, I can't agree with you." Sanemi mumbled.
He says the right dialogues for this scene.
(So I forgot the letter from Urokodaki and how Tanjiro met Muzan so yeah sorry)
"Ofcourse, we can't prove that she won't attack a human." Kagaya started.
" But we also can't prove that she will attack humans." Kagaya respectfully added with his usual gentle smile.
The Hashiras got suprised.
"I'm sorry, master. But I can't accept it!" Sanemi yelled like a crazy weird person.
"I will show you... The sheer ugliness of a demon!" Sanemi yelled like this was his life's mission.
He stabbed Nezuko / the box about two times.
He also slashed his arm... Like bro, was sacrificing your arm + blood really that necessary??
' Ehh? What are you doing? You're dirtying the beautiful garden!' Mitsuri answered her question herself.
"Come on, demon. It's time for you to eat! Sink your teeth in this!" Sanemi ordered proudly.
And if things couldn't get any worse...
"Shinazugawa. It's no good going it in the sunlight. You gotta go in the shade or the demon won't show its face."
... Obanai just had to make it 10 times worse...
"Master, I apologize." Sanemi muttered as he jumped inside the shade under the roof of the main estate.
Sanemi then stabbed the box open, Nezuko growing to her original size while drooling, and stared at Sanemi's arm.
...
Nezuko kept drooling and staring at Sanemi's blood.
"What're you waiting for, demon? It's time for breakfast!" Sanemi tried but it didn't really work.
Tanjiro wanted to go up to Nezuko, but Iguro slammed his back with his elbow, harshly.
"Iguro san, please don't be so harsh." Shinobu asked.
" I'm only doing this because he's trying to escape." Obanai explained, quietly.
Tanjiro used total concentration.
"Kamado kun? If you use total concentration now, your blood vessels might burst!" Shinobu tried warning him.
" Blood bursting! That sounds exciting! Do it, boy!" Uzui shouted at Tanjiro in interest.
Tanjiro yelled as he-
' Snap!'
... The ropes... Somehow broke...
Obanai was surprised and tried to hold Tanjiro back, but got interupted by Giyuu, who held Obanai's hand away from Tanjiro.
Tanjiro ran to the estate as Obanai struggled to get out of Giyuu's strong and intense grip.
Nezuko got a flashback when Tanjiro first met Giyuu and blablabla...
' Humans are your family. Protect your family!' Urokodaki's spell called Nezuko.
'Humans... Are need to be protected... I will never hurt them.' Nezuko thought.
Nezuko awesomely rejected Sanemi's blood, which shocked everyone excluding the master.
"Nezuko..." Tanjiro mumbled.
"What happened?" The master asked.
"The demon girl rejected Shinazugawa's blood even the had ruthlessly stabbed her three times." The creepy twins explained.
Sanemi tsked.
"So, there's your proof that Nezuko won't eat nor hurt humans." Kagaya gently said.
" And Tanjiro, sincemthe Hashiras are more supreme than you, please show more respect to them." Kagaya requested.
" And Obanai, Sanemi. Please don't be so harsh on the younger ones." Kagaya requested again.
" Yes, master." Obanai muttered, having a somewhat guilty expression somehow.
"As you wish." Sanemi muttered with an angry expression.
' His voice is so calming...' Tanjiro thought.
"Tanjiro.. I believe that you meeting Muzan is your destiny... And what happened to your sister is also a miracle." Kagaya explained.
" Hai! Nezuko and I.. will defeat Muzan!" Tanjiro claimed.
" The Hashiras have risen because they killed a demon moon... So let's kill a demon moon first." Kagaya said.
Tanjiro became a human tomato.
"H- Hai!" He yelled.
All the Hashiras kept their laughter from bursting.
"If that's the case, than please allow me to take Tanjiro to my estate!" Shinobu offered while raising her hand.
"Very well, Shinobu." Kagaya responded.
" Well, take them away please~!" Shinobu ordered.
A Kakushi went to Nezuko, but backed away when Nezuko turned her head to the Kakushi in fear.
Another Kakushi carried Tanjiro away while the other carried Nezuko with her box away with the other Kakushi.
"Now, let's begin the hashira-"
"Wait a moment please!" Tanjiro interupted Kagaya by running to Kagaya while yelling.
Tanjiro tripped and the two Kakashis smacked him in the back and head multiple times.
"P- Please! L- Let me headbutt the man in scars!" Tanjiro requested while the Kakushis were telling him to back off.
" I- I gotta.. headbutt him as many times as he stabbed Nezuko! Headbutting isn't a violation of the rules, right?" Tanjiro muttered.
' Please let go of me!' Was heard when the camera focused on Muichiro, collecting + throwing rocks.
Each one hit Tanjiro's cheek, which made him faint.
"You shouldn't interupt the master.." Muichiro mumbled.
The Kakushis bowed down to the master and the Hashiras and continued their way to the Butterfly Mansion.
"What were you thinking, idiot!" A Kakushi scolded Tanjiro.
" You've no idea how scary they're! Apologize!" The Kakushi yelled. " Yeah! Apologize!" The other one shouted.
A Kakushi started pulling Tanjiro's cheeks.
"Apologize!" "Yeah! Apologize!"
...
They arrived at the Butterfly Mansion.
"Hmm? There is someone here." A Kakushi said.
There was Kanao, standing with butterflies around her.
"That's... Right, lady Tsuyuri. She's lady Kocho's Tsugoku. She's a girl, but she's awesome! Don't underestimate her." A Kakushi explained.
" Tsugoku..?" Tanjiro mumbled.
' Wait... Have I met her before?' Tanjiro wondered.
He had flashbacks of Kanao at Final selection.
"I had Final Selection with her!" Tanjiro said.
" Looks like someone forgot who stomped on their head yesterday night." A Kakushi said.
The Kakushi carrying Nezuko, walked up to Kanao.
"We were sent here by lady Kocho. Permission to enter the estate?" The Kakushi requested.
Kanao didn't respond and just smiled.
"Is that ok with you?" The Kakushi asked again.
...
" Is that a no..?" The Kakushi tried again, but no answer.
"Hey! Who are you?!" A loud voice was heard.
There was Aoi.
"Shinobu san sent you, right?" Aoi asked. "Y- Yes!" The Kakushi muttered. "Then, please follow me." Aoi said.
Everyone except Kanao followed Aoi inside. Tanjiro stared at Kanao as he was moved away from her.
Taisho secret:
Haru: Hello everyone!
Haru: It's time for a Taisho secret!
Haru: Akashi's favorite color was pink and yellow. He used to wear that every day...
Haru: Well.. Have a good day or night everyone! Bye!
(Holly, this chapter is probably the longest chapter I ever wrote on this book! Omg!)
