Its been a few days since Tanjiro completed the final training. I sigh heavily as the days were peaceful but that’s what worried me most. It’s like the calm before the storm.
I walk past a bush to hear a rustle, I stop to look at the bush that was now still.
‘Am I really that tired to the point I am hearing things?’I shake my head to continue walking.
‘Just kidding.’I open my hand to reveal a weird eye thing.
“Is this Nakime’s?”I mumble as I smash it.
“Emergency Summon!! Emergency Summon!! Attack on the Ubuyasiki Estate!”
I widen my eyes in shock before calming down to rush over to the estate.
‘Muzan better not do anything to him..’
I caught Sanemi reaching the mansion first, not before it exploded into a fiery mess.
“Oyakata-sama!”I yell as I rush forward, to be tugged back my Sanemi.
“Calm down idiot!”
“I-“I begin to breathe in heavily as I watch the mansion continue to come down in the explosion.
‘No..I can’t let someone die when I can help!’
Sanemi had to restrain me when I tried to get out of his hold.
I only calm down when I sense another presence, a demon one.
‘Who?-‘
The fires begin to let down to show Muzan impaled by spikes and another demon in front of Muzan.
I only managed to catch bits of their yelling, a drug to turn demons back into humans? That’s would be impossible but seeing how his body was starting to change bit by bit, I was surprised at this new person.
“Himejima-san!Do it, please!”She calls out, the stone Hashira to come in with his axe and flail crushing Muzan’s head with the impact.
But his head only regenerated in a flash, Muzan turns his head to glare at the new opponent that struck him.
“Seems like we have to restrain him until the sun rises, shall we Sanemi?”
He lets go when he confirms that I had calm down, drawing our blades for the fight.
The other Hashiras and Tanjiro soon came in for the battle, seeing how Muzan was impaled by the spikes they released their breathing techniques.
Muzan only grinned at the sight, sending worry and fear up my body. The floor was replaced by sliding doors, sending everyone down into the infinity fortress.
“NO!”I reach out only to be met with empty air.
.
.
I snap my eyes open when the flow of air hits my face as I continue to fall.
“Where am I?.. I don’t see any flooring..”I narrow my eyes when I caught yelling somewhere.
‘Focus!’ I close my eyes.
The flames in their bodies and still for now but I can hardly sense it, the smell of demon ash is flooding my senses.
“Muzan..You place me here to not intervene with the fight didn’t you?”I mumble as I continue to fall.
“In that case..”
“I just have to burn this place up, “I smirk before regaining my footing on a wall.
‘Just like how Kyojuro would say it.’
‘Better thank him for the lessons in Flame breathing later.’
The flames start to form around me, coating my blade as I slam in downwards where I stood.
‘Flame breathing,Ninth Form:Rengoku!’
.
“Ugh..Maybe I shouldn’t have used fire in a combustible area.”
I rub my head as I got up in the new area, an actual room now. I immediately stood up on guard when the smell of human blood fills my nose.
“…”
.
.
“Douma.”My stomach twist at the sight of multiple girls dead before as he continues to kill and eat them.
“Oh?Seems like Haru-chan got out of the containment.”He chuckles before smiling at me.
“Why don’t you put down the blade and we can talk it out~”
His sweet voice sickens me as he stands up with his ever so sweet smile.
It was then a new voice calls out to me.
“Haru?”
There stood Shinobu with a frown, not at me but at the sight of dead bodies and Douma.
“Oh?.. You look like a certain flower girl I met before~” He singsong at Shinobu’s haori and butterfly clip.
“Don’t even think about it.”I appear behind him in a flash with my bloodlust leaking, causing him to flinch a little to the sudden change in the air.
‘Lava breathing,Seventh Form:Obsidian Flame!’
He turns around with a panicked look at my sudden heavy bloodlust. He backs up as the flames strike half of his neck, causing him to glare at me, not before going back to his cheerful self.
“Haru.”He drops his sweet tone and replaced it with a cold one as he frowns at me.
“I won’t hesitate this time so you better go full force.Douma.”
“Shinobu, Please leave this to me. I don’t think your techniques would work much on him.”
“No, I-“
A dome quickly covers her as ice tries to strike her.
“Your opponent is me, Douma.”
“Haru!”She bangs on the rock.
“Don’t worry about me, Butterfly. I will see you after this is over.”I turn to face Douma who was now looking at me with frustration at my actions.
