There was a rumor of a 10th hashira going around the demon slayer corps. Many of the demon slayer corps had never saw the 10th pillar didn't believe this and called it a myth. No one knew there was a tenth. Only a few who has actually seen her knew about her existence. No one spoke about the pillar and there were no signs of the 10th even existing.

Until now that is.

Y/n l/n the 10th pillar. Also know as the melancholy pillar.

Tsuyoku nareru riyuu wo shitta~~
Okay I'll stop right here-

"Come on you! Come on! Are you going to sleep all day?! Wake the hell up will you?!" A kakushi says as I watched silently on the roof way above the other pillars. The boy's eyes shot open and looked up.
(Tbh that kakushi's voice is kinda hot-)

"Bummer I heard he was a demon slayer with a demon in tow. So I was looking forward to seeing someone flamboyant. But that's one drab looking dude huh."

"And now we'll put this boy on trial! I see!"

"W-who are these peop-" before the boy could finish, the kakushi pushed his head down. "Don't open your mouth just yet you moron! Just who do you think is standing before you?! You're in the presence of the hashiras!" He scolded.

The boy had a small frown on his face. His expression could explain exactly what he's thinking.

"This is the demon slayer headquarters." The insect hashira said. "and you're about to be put on trial. Tanjiro kamado." Huh so his name is tanjiro...

"There is no need for a trial!"
Kyojuro rengoku: the flame hashira.
"Protecting a demon is clear violation of the code!"

"In that case I'll be glad to decapitate him flamboyantly"
Tengen uzui: the sound hashira
"I'll show you the most flamboyant blood spray you'll ever see."

'What? You'll kill such a adorable child?!'
Mitsuri kanroji: the love hashira
'That pains my heart..."

"Ah what a pitiful sight this boy is."
Gyomei hymejima: the stone hashira
"The poor soul..."

"Um what was the shape of that cloud again?"
Muichiro tokito: the mist hashira
"What was it called again?"

The boy looked around. I'm assuming he's looking for the demon. Demons are evil and pitiful creatures. Eating human flesh to get stronger, destroying families in the meanwhile.

"Hey you! The hashiras are speaking what are you looking at?!" The kakushi said looking at him. "These are the 9 highest ranking swordsman in the Demon slayer corps!"

"Hashiras?" The redhead said still looking up. "Nezuko..." he said looking around again. Does he not know how to show respect? "Tch..."

Tanjiro started calling out names. Possibly his friends?

"Forget that. What will we do with tomioka? Seeing him there without any restraints is giving me a headache. Seeing what kocho told us, Tomioka's just as guilty breaking the corps rules."
Iguro Obanai: the serpent hashira
"How will we deal with him?"

"Don't you have anything to say, Tomioka?" Iguro said pointing past tanjiro and to giyuu who's been standing there. Everyone turned and looked at him as he stayed silent. He was never one to talk.

Giyuu Tomioka: The Water hashira

"Let's come up with a pentalty later."
Shinobu kocho: The insect hashira
"What I'm more interested in is hearing this boys story."

"You are aware of that yes? That you broke corps rules." Tanjiro looked up at her, clearly a bit worried. "Tanjiro. Why are you traveling with a demon when you're a demon slayer?" She asked smiling. He managed to gasp out a few words before coughing as shinobu gave him water that contains painkillers.

I sighed. Based on the few words he had gasped out, it sounded like that the demon is his sister. And I was right. He began explaining what had happened and finally getting to the part saying that his DEMON sister won't eat humans.

"Well well I see you have some fun brewing here." A familiar voice spoke out as I turned around to take a look. (We all know who this is. After all who can forget such a hot gu- I'll stop...)

"Is that the moron demon slayer who has a demon with him?" He asked while having a box lifted in the air with one of his hands.

"What are you trying to pull here?"
Sanemi Shinazugawa: The wind hashira

A kakushi came after him "Shinazugawa-sama! please do you mind putting down that box?!" She cried out as sanemi just smirked and ignored what shinobu was saying to him.

"What did you say about that demon kid? That she can fight and protect humans? You know what we call that?" Sanemi said as he grabbed his sword.
"A total delusion you moron!" He yelled out and stabbed his sword into the box and through with blood on his blade. My eyes widened slightly as Tanjiro let out a gasp and got up on his feet. "Anyone who hurt my sister... hashira or not, I won't let you get away with it!" He shouted as I sighed and stood up looks like I need to take action...

Sansemi pushed his sword deeper and then pulled it out spinning it. "Is that right? Good for you!" Tanjiro let out a yell as giyuu tried to stop them. "Stop! The master will be arriving soon!" Tanjiro ignored him and ran at sanemi. I let out a small growl and jumped from the roof in front of sanemi as Tanjiro's eyes widened. I stretched out my arm and grabbed the surprised boys head stopping him from head butting the Wind pillar.

"This won't do..." I said as the boy looked up and gasped as did the male kakushi.

"Ah such a pity. You're so boring..."
Y/n L/n: The melancholy hashira
"I'll kill you for attempting to attack sanemi-san"
