You Noticed The Calm Before The Storm

A special training session began. It was called Hashira Training. Those who ranked lower than pillars trained with them one by one. Usually, the pillars would only train with their 'successors/Tsugukos' and no one else. And that's because hashiras were busy. They had many things to do, like protecting their assigned regions, gathering information on the demons, and improving their own swordsmanship. But ever since Nezuko conquered the sun, the demons suddenly stopped appearing. You liked to call it the calm of the storm. And because you of that, the Hashira only had to focus on night patrol and day training now.


First, Uzui does the initial hazing via basic stamina training. Then Kanroji Mitsuri handles the hellish flexibility training, and Tokitou Muichirou deals with the quick movement training. Then the Snake pillar focuses on sword skill revision. The wind pillar handles the infinite pounding training, and the Rock Pillar trains muscle reinforcement. Even the pillars get to improve by facing waves upon waves of swordsmen. If anyone's heart rate and temperature get high enough for the mark to appear, then everyone wins. Those who already have the mark will train so they can continuously stay in the marked state. Once every member of the demon hunters received this information, they all became motivated to prepare for the upcoming fight.


"Ah, Shinobu! You're back?" You asked as you and Kanao looked at her.


"I'm going to train with the wild pillar now." Kanao said and Shinobu nodded.


"Okay." that's all she said.


"I'm starting my pillar training now." You said and rubbed the back of your neck. You and Kanao looked at each other. "And we know what you said before but..."


"We were wondering if we can revive training from you after we're done with the rock pillar?" Kanao said as she looked at you both.


"I cannot participate on this pillar training session." She said as Kanao was shocked.


"Eh-Why though...?"


"Kanao. Y/n. Come." Shinobu gestured to sit in front of her, as she has her annoyed face on.


"Oh god, please save us Kanao." You asked as she blushed.


"Uhh... err, we just want to train with our master." Kanao saved our asses as Shinobu smiled.


"... Kanao, you've really come around. Being honest with your feelings is a good sign... and Y/n, you're finally finding the right path for you. Maybe this is a good time." Shinobu said as you and Kanao looked at each other with confusion. "The demon who killed my sister, Kanae. How about I tell you both, how you can kill it."
.
.
.
You walked with Kanao out of the room with silence. She trailed behind you as you spoke. "Kanao."


"Y-Yes?" She asked as you stopped walking, which forced her to stop.


"The final act is coming. And when the time comes... I'll need you to do what I say." You said as she didn't understand.


"Y/n, what do you-?"


You turned around to look at her with your demon form activated. You took out your claws. "I have a feeling, Muzan's gonna pull a big move. So I need you to trust me when that time comes."


Kanao wasn't scared but nodded with a serious face. "I understand. I trust you."


You smiled and turned off the demon form. "Thank you."


You turned back around and leaped off in the distance. Kanao looked like she wanted to say something... but couldn't. Meanwhile, a crow landed in Tamayo's window. "Good evening, Tamayo-San. It's dangerous to leave the window open at night. But the moon looks quite beautiful today. Very nice to meet you. I am Ubuyashiki Kagaya's messenger. You are rather good at hiding. It took me so long to find you the Ubuyashiki stopped moving in that time."


Tamayo looked at the crow with distrust. "How... did you find this place?"


The crow moved its wings. "People's connections. I looked up the old owner of this house that you bought. Then during the afternoon, I kept watch over Yushirou-kun. I may have had special training but I'm just a crow. Nobody's going to be that vigilant of me. I don't plan on causing you any harm, so don't be alarmed."


"... So why are you here?" Tamayo asked.


The crow moved a bit to nod. "Hm. I sense a lot of distrust. Understandable. I suppose it's hard for me to gain your trust like Tanjiro and Y/n did."


"What in the world are they planning? Ubuyashiki... are you trying to deceive me?" Tamayo had to question. "And Yushiro...?"


"Don't worry about Yushiro-kun. Look. You can hear his footsteps from here." indeed, you could hear the boys footsteps. "So how about we talk business then? There are some people among the demon slayers who are well versed in demon physiology and pharmaceuticals. Y/n has taken an interest in it and is bound to be a helpful source. We would like you to join our researcher efforts, and that includes looking into the changes within Nezuko and Y/n. Can you work with us to Defeat Kibutsuji Muzan? Please come to the Ubuyashiki Estate."


"You want me a demon, to go to the demon slayer headquarters?" Tamayo got worried even after remembering you were there.


"There is one other thing that is to be kept within your ear and few others at the request of Y/n Higurashi." The crow added as Tamayo looked in worry.
—————————-
"Y/n?" Nezuko looked at you as you finished your note. She smiled and looked over your shoulder. "What are you writing?"


"Ahahaha, no peaking." You told her with a chuckle as she giggled. "You gonna be okay with Urokodaki?"


"Of course! He took care of me after all!" Nezuko clenched her fist with a smile.


"I don't know if you should be so excited." You thought but wrapped up the note and your raven took it away. You looked at it with a peaceful solemn look before smiling at her. "But it will be interesting to see him after all this time! I'm so excited!"


Nezuko looked at you in worry and sat down next to you. "Hey, you know you can tell me anything... if you want I mean."


You looked at her with a smile, but it was familiar. She couldn't figure it out right away. You intertwined your hand with hers. She blushed as you smirked. "I know. I guess this all feels like a dream. But..."


"You're worried about Muzan..." You nodded after her comment.


"He couldn't get me, so maybe he's planning to go out of you. If it comes down to it..." You said as she squeezed your hand.


"Well, you know what to do." Nezuko calmly said as you looked at her with shock.


"But-!" the words stopped when you saw her smile.


"You know it. But it won't come down to that." Nezuko said as you smiled.


"Yeah! You're right!" You smiled as she sighed with happiness.


"So was that what the letter was about?" Nezuko asked as you shook your head and stood up.


"No, that was something else." You then took off the necklace and gave it to her. "Here, so you don't worry about me. I'll come back for it." You then looked at the time. "Oh, no! I gotta go, Nez! Love you!"


You rushed out the room as Nezuko blushed and held her face. "L-Love you too. Oh gosh, how embarrassing."


"TANJIRO!!" You tackled him in the forest as he managed to hold you back. "Nani?"


"Hey, Y/n! You ready to start this thing?" He asked and you smirked.


"Of course! Let's get a move on!" and so, you both took off to start training.


And as promised, trial one was Uzui. "Oh man! It's been a while! I heard you guys fought another moon. I gotta say, the only people in tip-top shape around here are the lucky ones. So lemme just whip those lucky bodies of yours back to good condition."


"Okay! We'll do what we can!" Tanjiro was excited as you crossed your arms.


"Nice to see you doing well, Uzui." You smiled as he smirked at you.


"What? No, Bling Boy? Are you actually growing up?" "WHAT'S THAT MEAN!?" You growled at him in anger as his wives giggled.


"Oh my!"


"You guys are finally here!"


"Eat as much as you like!"


Tanjiro and you got permission to head to the next place in just ten days, Muichiro Residence.


"Alright, Y/n! You're next!" Tokito said as you held the wooden sword.


"Are you sure this is gonna work?" You asked him as he smiled. "We've been at this for only five days


"Yep! Just follow what I told you." he said as you took a stance as he immediately dashed for you. You blocked the first attack and then rolled out of the way of the next attack but quickly had to spin your wooden sword into the reverse grip to block the hit. You then dashed at him to strike but he dodged it, you twisted your body to leap at him and delivered a barrage of attacks. "Come on, Y/n! You're even faster than before, I'm impressed, but you still have to train that form of yours. Go ahead and activate it."


"Hm. Alright..." You did so and appeared behind him as he was confused and went to strike you but you dodged it and went on the offenses.


"Good! I'm helping your muscles ease and tense up more smoothly. As I said earlier, once you're able to do that, your stamina will improve by a lot." Tokito said as you both suddenly stopped and he smiled at you both. "Your bodies coordinations are perfect. Go on to the next pillar, you two!"


"Eh? Are you sure?!" Tanjiro asked in shock.


"Yeah." Tokito smiled and you swore you could see some flowers.


"It's only been five days though! Are you allowed to do that?!" You wondered as well.


He nodded. "Well, you both did everything I just said."


"Th...then can we go..." The other members said. "We've been here for two wee-..."


"What are you even on, you incompetent nincompoops? Once you're done with those swings, we're gonna practice so hard the training area will collapse on itself." Tokito shifted as all the members cried.


"The bias... is so clear." They said as you did as well.


"Tanjiro! Y/n! It's been so long! Come into my home!" Mitsuri waved her hands as you and Tanjiro reached the Kanroji residence. The honey aroma filled your nose.


"Thanks, Mitsuri. Glad to see that you are going better. I kinda knocked out before I saw your condition." You smiled and put your hands behind your head as you all walked down the hall.


"Aw, that's okay! I heard the news between you and Nezuko, congratulations!" Mitsuri said as Tanjiro sniffed the air.


"Do you keep bees here? I smell some really nice honey." Tanjiro said as Mitsuri cupped her face.


"Ah! You figured it out? That's right! I sooooo love making honey and putting it on my bread~!" She said as she pulled both of your hands. "And with tons of butter! I pour myself some black tea at three. Oh, I'll make some pancakes, so get excited!"
.
.
.
"I'm not fucking wearing that." You took one look at the gym uniform and immediately shook your head.
.
.
.
"No one tell Nezuko." You said as you wore the uniform.


Everyone dresses like this during Kanroji-style training. And they dance nonstop to the beat. Which was easier than you thought. Flexibility was hell, she apparently stretches everyone using mostly her strength. But since Poison Breathing is all about speed, flexibility was something that helped you a lot. Next up was the Snake Pillar.


"Tanjiro Kamado, Y/n Higurashi. I've been waiting for you two." He said as Tanjiro smiled.


"Very nice to mee-"Shut up or you're both dead." "EEEHHH?!" Tanjiro shouted as Snake Man let out some dangerous aura.


"I heard about you two from Kanroji. It seems she had some fun training you both." the two exchanged letters. The Snake Pillar gave a dangerous look. "But unlike Kanroji, I'm not a nice person."


"That's funny, neither am I." You smirked at him as he opened the door and you saw a bunch of people tied up to all sorts of wood. "But you're clearly the bigger asshole."


He started getting a vain in his head. "I'm gonna make you both swing your swords while avoiding the obstacles."


Tanjiro looked at him. "Uh... did these people commit any crimes?"


"Well, I guess so. Crime of weakness. Crime of forgetting. Crime of taking their time. Crime of possibility me off." Iguro said as you thought one thing.


"They obviously weren't picky with attitude when picking pillars..."


Thus began the world's most frightening training. Even though you both used wooden swords, hitting these people would hurt them pretty badly. And Iguro attack you both while weaving through these poor swordsmen. It's really scary, because this person's sword skill involves bending his sword in strange ways.


You are seen getting slapped in the back with the sword. "GAH-! Motherfuck-GAAAAH!"


He's holding the same sword as you both. But how can it bend like that? His attacks slither through the tiniest of cracks and reach him. Truly like a snake. And on top of that. Well... when you tried to go through the crevices to attack, you could hear their voices. Stuff like 'Please don't hit me!!' And the fact you could hear them threw you off. You knew you had to move pass this new anxiety. You and Tanjiro had to wield your sword super accurately or tragedy would strike. But after four days... you both were actually able to wield your swords with an accuracy you hadn't had before. You were able to avoid Iguro's attacks and attack on your own. The moment you both sliced off the haori Iguro was wearing, the training was more or less complete.


"Bye then. Also rot in hell, you pieces of shit. Don't you ever talk casually with Kanroji again." Iguro threatened but you were already gone. "HEY!!


"The wild pillar should be this way." You said but then Zenitsu showed up in your face with tears.


"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGH!!!" "AAAAGHZENITSU?!" You all shouted as he clung to you.


"L-L-L-LEMME OUTTA HEEEEERE! TANJIRO, Y/N, PLEASE!! I CAN'T STAND IT ANYMORE! I CAN'T! I-I-I MANAGED TO GET THIS FAR ALREADY! I HADNTO CRAWL OVER THE FENCE AND HIDE MYSELF LIKE A LIZARD! I CAN SEE MY CORPSE GETTING MANGLED!" Zenitsu shouted but you had no clue what that meant.


You pushed him off of you and looked at him. "Wait! Will you shut up?! I can't understand! Ah..."


A hand suddenly grabbed Zenitsu's skull as Genya's brother appeared. "Choose. Go back to training or I slaughter your ass."


"GYAAAAAAAAAH!! GIVE ME A BREAAAAAAK?!! GYAAAAAAAAAAH!!! GRH-!" You knocked him out with a quick chop to the neck.


"Thanks. Carry him." "He said thank you? The end of the world must be coming closer than I thought." You said as he glared at you. Tanjiro carried the body of Zenitsu.


"Shut it, Mutt. I haven't accepted you both for shit. You broke my arm, remember?" "Oh that? I don't give a shit about you or your arm. You stabbed Nezuko, I'm resisting killing you here. Let's head out." You walked passed with your demon form activated. Tanjiro had a smile as well as he followed you.


You can tell his training is hard just from looking at Zenitsu. It's a simple beat down session where he slashes at you nonstop. There's no resting until you vomit of faint. Even Iguro gave more breaks. When Zenitsu woke up, he got mad at you and the two of you had to fight. You beat his ass but the Wind Pillar was extremely fierce with you. You had to guess it was because it was because you broke his arm, but the two of you fought for hours before you slipped up. If you weren't part Demon, your injures would look worse than Tanjiro's.


"Alright, Zenitsu. Let's go again." You said as he played dead. "I know you, ain't dead. Get up."


Suddenly Tanjiro and Genya came crashing through the wall. "HE'S BACK! HE'S BACK! THE HEARTLESS EVIL MAN! HIDE! PRETEND TO BE DEAD!"


"Tanjiro? What the he-?" You then saw Shinazugawa come out pissed.


"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL GENYA?!" Tanjiro shouted at him.


"I'm not killing him. That would be easy, but against the code of conduct." Shinazugawa then smiled. "I'LL JUST LEAVE HIM INCAPABLE TO OF REGENERATING. WHEN HE DOES, HE CAN QUIT THE DEMON SLAYERS AND I'LL FORGIVE HIM."


"OH, COME ON!! YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO GO THAT FAR! DON'T FORCE HIM TO QUIT!!" Tanjiro shouted at him. "YOU SAID YOU DON'T HAVE A BROTHER!! DON'T SPEAK AS IF GENYA HAS A CHOICE! IT DOESN'T MATTER IF HE HAS TALENT OR NOT, HE'S RISKING HIS LIFE TO FIGHT THE DEMONS. OF YOU SAY YOU'RE NOT HIS BROTHER, THEN I WIN'T LET YOU GET IN GENYA'S WAY. OF HE WASN'T AROUND, THEN WE WOULDN'T HAVE BEATEN THE UPPER MOON. I WON'T LET YOU HARM HIM IN ANYWAY!"


"Okay. Then I'll incapacitate you first." Shinazugawa appeared in front of him and slammed his fist in his chest.


"TANJIRO!!!" Zenitsu shouted but Tanjiro stopped the blow and kicked him the back of the head, dropping him.


"ZENITSU!! GET GENYA OUT OF HERE! PLEASE!!" "TANJIRO!!" Genya shouted as the wild pillar got ready to kick him, you suddenly appeared in front of him and caught his leg.


"This looks fun. You want me to break this one too?" You kicked the pillar in the face and he went back. He span in the air and planted his feet on the ground. He than spat out some blood.


"You got some balls, bitch. You wanna die? No problem. I'll slaughter your ass." Shinazugawa charged at you again with a punch but ou pulled your head back at the last second and delivered a hard left jab straight in his face before grabbing the back of his head and doing a flying knee in his face.


After that, everything turned into a mess. The chaos continued all the way to evening. Tanjiro and Y/n got an official scolding from the higher ups. Well, Y/n got one for Shinobu and a... nicer one from Nezuko. Their training with the Wind Pillar not only came to a halt, but were banned from approaching him.


"This wasn't how I wanted to do things..." Tanjiro said. "And the mark's not showing up. Maybe the training isn't working."


"Oh, it's working alright. You both actually hit the wind dude. That's badass." Zenitsu commented as you crossed your arms.


"Plus, what's done is done. And besides, we're here." You said as Tanjiro saw the Waterfall.


"LOOK! A WATERFALL!! AND THERE'S PEOPLE..." Tanjiro shouted and you saw Inosuke and a few others.


"THIS IS WHAT I HEARD. AT ONE TIME THE BUDDA WAS STAYING IN THE JETA GROVE, NEAR THE CITY OF SRAVASTI."


"WHAT THE HELL?!" You started to panic. What kinda hell ground did you step on?! You suddenly sensed a immense power and turned around.


"If you... erase your mind... even fires will become cold..." the stone pillar appeared with logs on his back surrounded by fire. "Welcome... to my training ground..."
————-
"The most important thing is the body's core... the limbs. Stabilizing your body with strong limbs will lead to accurate attacks and indefatigable defense." The Pillar explained with his hands together. "First, train by having the waterfall beat you... the carry three logs on your shoulders... finally, push this rock through a town... my training is simple. It's just three things... the training involving flames coming from below you was too dangerous so I removed them..."


"I'm sorry. Zenitsu has passed out." Tanjiro held the body.


The stone pillar started crying for some reason. "Dump him in the river."


"Got it." You took the body and threw it into the river.


Not five seconds later... "GYAAAAAAAH!! SHOOOOOOCOWWWWWLFDDD!!! THE RIVER IS EVEN WORSE IN MID-WINTER, BUT I'M DYING! OH MY GOD, WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE WATER THIS MOUNTAIN RIVER! I'M DYING!! GONNA HURL!"


"HEY! IF I HAVE TO DO THIS, SO DO YOU!!" You shouted as you and Tanjiro were topless as that was part of the training. To say the river was cold was an understatement to say the least.


Zenitsu started hugging himself as he ran out of the river. "LAND... L-LAND... WAAAAAH I FEEL... LIKE MY INNARDS ARE ROTTING!! THEY'RE SCREAMING!! HYA HYAAAAAA!! OH, OH SHIT! EVEN WHEN I'M OUT... IT'S TOO LATE!! I'M FREEZING!!!"


"Hug... the rock." A bunch of people were hugging a bunch of large rocks. "It's warm..."


Zenitsu hugged the rock and called for his mother. Meanwhile you and Tanjiro moved upwards, "Damn it, he chickened out. This is gonna be tough."


"At least, Inosuke is working hard...hm? I can't hear his chants." Tanjiro said as you realize that Inosuke was not Breathing.


"INOSUKE!! OH GOD!!!" You rushed to him and revived him. After a long time training under the calls, you realized the water falling from a high place gets really heavy. "This is not worth it..."


"He's awesome. The ball ball old guy." Inosuke said as he ate his fish.


"You mean Stone Pillar, Himejima. Don't give him weird nicknames." Tanjiro said as you were shocked.


"That's his name? Wow, that's way off that what I was gonna say." You bit your fish on a stick.


Inosuke crunched in the fish bone. "He gave me chills ever since I first met him. No doubt about it." "Why the hell are you eating the bones?"


You questioned him but he shoved you out of the way. "Shut it, this guy is the strongest demon slayer."


"Ahhh. Yeah, I figured." "You can tell that just by looking at him." You and Tanjiro said as you questioned.


"Hey, did his mark show up?" You asked Inosuke as he ate his tenth fish.


"Wouldn't be surprised if it did." Inosuke said as Zenitsu cried.


"I don't believe it. I'm sure that old man can't move that rock across town. He's just having fun picking on younger people." Zenitsu said as Tanjiro looked at him.


"No, no, Himejima can push rocks bigger than that." Tanjiro stated as Zenitsu looked at him.


"You think I'll believe what you say right away? You're trying to trick me." Zenitsu agrued as you looked at him.


"Are your ears working? I'm pretty sure you can tell he's not lying." You said as Himejima pushed a even bigger rock, chanting the same phrase. "Ah, he's doing it again."


Soon you complete waterfall trainings and log training, but after six days, you couldn't push it without your demon form. But you did gain some mastery over it. "Damn it, just a little more. To push me over the edge and I'll master it. I can't waste any time, Muzan is plotting something. There's gotta be another way."


"Hey, Y/n. Whoa, Tanjiro, did the mark on your forehead get bigger?" a wild Genya appeared.


"AH, GENYA! YOU OKAY THERE? I WAS WORRIED SINCE YOU STOPPED CONTACTING US AFTER THAT." Tanjiro shouted in worry.


"I held myself back and got scolded by Himejima. And that was all after I was told never to get near my brother again." Genya sat down next to you two. "Sorry for getting you two involved. Thanks for protecting me."


You smiled at him. "Anytime, Genya. But that's two you owe us now."


He smiled. "Yeah, I'll pay it back someday. But how come you never told Tanjiro his birthmark got thicker?"


"Well, it's not like I had a mirror to show him, and he wouldn't believe me if I told him." You lied as naturally as you breathed.


Genya put out a mirror to show Tanjiro before looking at the rock. "So, you're on the rock training. Me too."


"Well, it's not budging at all." Tanjiro said. "Y/n can't move it without his demon form, can you move it, Genya."


"I can." "EHH?!" You and Tanjiro both shouted in shock.


"Don't you guys know about repeating actions?" Genya asked but then got his answer after seeing your faces. "So you don't... Himejima sucks at teaching. So you gotta watch him closely or you'll fail. He's actually doing a set of pre-determined movements in order to maximize concentration. In my case, I chant prayers."


"Oooooh, so that's what he does." You understood as Genya smiled and nodded.


"Yep. That Namu-Namu thing he says." Genya said and according to him, Repetitive actions is a Techniques that opens all five senses. Genya might not be able to use breaths, but he can achieve full focus another way-Repetitive Actuons. When Himejima and Genya use it, they remember their anger and painful memories. That makes their heart rate and temperature go up. You figured that could bring the marks out but Genya and Himejima didn't have any so you all were confused.


You stood in front of your rock in the morning and out your hands on it. "By doing these actions, you can raise your focus at any given moment. I wonder if I used this a long time ago. But, my repetive actions were remembering my sister and those back at the butterfly mansion. Not ever meeting my family without the spirit bullshit. And Rengoku's final words... with that I could raise my focus to the maximum limit. I used all my strength in normal form and after I did the same movements over and over again, my body remembered them."


You pushed the rock forward as did Tanjiro with his rock. Zenitsu and Inosuke started shouting. "THEY DID IIIIIIIIIIT!! THEY BLUCKING DID IIIIIIIIT!! THOSE MONSTERS!!!" "SHIT, I LOST...!"


And with that, training was completed. You didn't go back with Tanjiro, instead you went back to Urokodaki and Nezuko. After all, with what you knew, you needed your stuff. You opened the doors and there Nezuko was with a big smile. You smiled as well, "I'm here as promised."


"Welcome back!" She rushed to you and hugged you. You hugged her back and soon let go, but she did not. "I didn't think you'd be gone this long. You must have been training hard."


You immediately had flashbacks to the stone pillar training and shook with fear. "Y-Yeah, it was definitely more harder than I thought. Waterfalls are not..."


"Waterfalls?" Nezuko was confused but you just shook your head.


"Never mind, it's all okay. I'm just glad to be back." You said as you gained a peaceful face. You looked at the other room and opened it, to see Urokodaki. "What? You weren't gonna greet me?"


"You idiot!" "Gah-!" He socked you in the face and you fell to the ground. Urokodaki was pissed. "I can't believe you let Tanjiro break and chip his sword! I'm gonna kill him when he gets here!"


"Why take that out on me?!" You shouted as he picked you up by the robe.


"The bystander is just as guilty as the one doing it." "I DISAGREE ENTIRELY!" You shouted as Nezuko started laughing at you two.


"Ahahaha, you guys... haha, never change..." Nezuko said as Urokodaki let you go.


"I suppose I can let it slide. I see this different feeling about you, Y/n." You could tell Urokodaki was smiling. "You finally found your way."


"Yeah, thank you for your help." You bowed as he put his hands on his hips.


"My word, a couple years ago you would've never done that. Glad to see you're better now." Urokodaki said but looked at you. "But, you're also hiding something important, aren't you? I don't mean to pry, but can you share it with us?"


"..." You stayed silent as Nezuko got worried. You finally gave in. "Yeah...I am. There's something I've been planning, so I gotta get my stuff."


Urokodaki grabbed your clothes, swords, loaders, and gave it to you. "Be careful, whatever it is, you better come back."


You gave your signature smile. "Come on! You should know me by now." You put on the red cape and your three swords on your waist. "When I say I'm gonna do something, that means I'm gonna do it."


"Y/n, it's time." Yushiro appeared and Nezuko wondered why he was here. You looked at Nezuko.


"It might be a while, you mind holding that for me?" You pointed to the necklace around her neck and she nodded and grabbed your hands.


"Y-You better come back! Promise me!" Nezuko must have not liked being kept in the dark, especially if Yushiro is near the demon slayer corps. You nodded and started to walk away. "Y/n!"


She turned you around and kissed you, the soft lips collided with yours. Urokodaki turned away while Yushiro closed his eyes. She blushed massively and took huge steps back while covering her face. "A-A-Ah, I'm sorry! I've been wanting to do that for a while now but we always get interrupted so-...Y/n?"


"...!!!!!" Y/n.Exe is not responding. Yushiro smacked the back of your head.


"Snap out of it! We have to go now!" He said as you nodded and looked at Nezuko.


"I promise! I'll return to you!" You grabbed Yushiro and took off to the Ubuyashiki Estate. Soon Tanjiro, and the others all got emergency summons to head to the Estate, but it blew up before they arrived. And who was in the ashes...


Muzan immobilized by Tamayo. He was clawing her way into her eye as she shouted. "YOU AND I ARE DYING RIGHT HERE!! HIMEJIMA, Y/N! DO IT, PLEASE!"


"MUZAN KIBUTSUJI!!!" You shouted as you and Himejima were charging at him. "WE'RE KILLING YOU TONIGHT!!!"


Himejima stuck his head with his ball chain but like you told him, it wouldn't kill him. Muzan sent his black blood art, chain of thorns which came at you and Himejima at an alarming rate, but they were too slow for you both. "Poison Breathing Fourth Form: Boar and Demon Dance!!"


You leaped at him in the air and span. When you were upside down, gathers poison on your sword and slashed the thorns while rotating, deflecting enemy attacks in the process. You kept up your speed to get closer as the others started to appear. The first was the Wind Pillar. "YOU BIIIIITCH!  WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO OYAKATA-SAMAAAAAAA!!!"


"OYAKATA-SAMA!" Mitsuri shouted as she rushed inn as well.


"OYAKATA-SAMA!" Iguro appeared as well as Himejima shouted.


"IT'S MUZAN! MUZAN KIBUTSUJI!!" Himejima shouted out as Muzan smiled at you.


"FINALLY! WE MEET FACE TO FACE ONCE AGAIN!!!" Muzan smirked more. "Y/N HIGURASHI!!"


"MUZAN!!!" You shouted as you took out the Tessaiga as well as everyone started to use the quickest forms to kill him. But suddenly, you all started to fall as a house like castle started to form.


"YOU SERIOUSLY THOUGHT YOU COULD CORNER ME? YOU'RE ALL GOING TO HELL NOW!  YOU PATHETIC DEMON SLAYER PESTS! I'M SLAUGHTERING YOU ALL TONIGHT!!" Muzan shouted as you were still headed towards him.


"YOU'RE THE ONE GOING TO HELL, MUZAN! YOU'RE NOT GETTING AWAY! I WILL KILL YOU FOR SURE!" "COME AND GET ME IF YOU CAN! TANJIRO KAMADO!!" Muzan shouted as the rest fell. You tried to get him as he tried grabbing you.


"NOT TODAY!" Tamayo kicked you down into one of the holes in case Muzan caught you as you glared at him.


"I WILL KILL YOU! FOR ALL THE SHIT YOU'VE CAUSED TO EVERYONE!! NO MATTER HOW FAR YOU GET, YOU'LL NEVER ESCAPE ME YOU BASTARD! I'M COMING FOR YOUR HEARTS YOU BASTARD!!!" You shouted as the air pressure was immense. It took all your power to manipulate your demon aura and land on the ground safely. "DAMNIT, DAMN IT, DAMN IT!!!"


The place started shifting and you were suddenly in a different room. You felt a immense pressure and quickly turned around and drew your swords. "Hm, not many are able to draw... their sword after sensing me. Your mental strength is definitely...worth some praise. Not any fear...despite feeling my power. But now that Nezuko is an option...I've been told I could kill you if needed."


"And who the hell are you supposed to be?" You immediately activated your demon form as you looked at his eyes. You'd be lying if you weren't a little scared.
