Chapter Fourteen:)

It has been four months since the death of Kyojrou Rengoku, the flame pillar. 

"Kanaoo!" Y/n yelled out with a wide-eyed smiling running to the quiet girl "Y/n" she spoke out in a soft tone "spar with me!" Y/n said in a joyful tune Kanao nodded in agreement.

 The two began to walk to the garden of the butterfly estate when they heard a loud scream. "That's Aoi's voice isn't it Kanao spoke out "Yeah, let's go!" Y/n said with a worried expression.

 Y/n and Kanao made their way to the source of the scream standing in front of them was the sound pillar Tengen Uzui. Sumi and Kiyo were crying and Tengen had Aoi and Naho on his shoulders. 

Kanao and Y/n ran to the chaos "Tengen-sama, put down Aoi and Naho!" Y/n yelled tugging the shirt of the large white-haired man, he pushed Y/n down "don't pull on me!" Tengen yelled at the girl "why are you taking them!" Y/n yelled back getting off the ground "I need them for a mission!" Tengen yelled into the girls face as he began to walk away Y/n, Sumi and Kiyo pulling on his clothing. 

Aoi had a fearful expression on her face "Y/n, Kanao!" she cried out looking at both Y/n and Kanao as she tried to squirm out of his grasp only to fail miserably.

 Kanao grabbed on the back of Tengen's shirt as she stood there not showing a sign of emotion "huh, don't just pull me so plainly.

 you have your orders" Tengen spoke out turning his head to Kanao "Just say something you plain boring person!" Tengen yelled looking down at Kanao, Kanao blinking in response and letting go of his clothing. 

"Kanao isn't an emotionless freak, don't say that!" Y/n yelled at the pillar. "Charge!" Sumi and Naho yelled as they charged attacking  Tengen

 "Hey.. Damm you... Stop it!" Tengen yelled at the girls only to be cut off by a familiar red-haired male "what are you doing to those girls, get your hands off of them" Tanjiro yelled out catching the attention of Tengen.

 Tengen standing there slightly hunched over with Sumi and Kiyo wrapped around his head and back with Y/n pulling him down.  

Tanjiro observing the situation standing there with a blank expression 'are they swarming him or did he..which is it' Tanjiro thought to himself with a confused expression on his face.

 "It's a kidnapping" Y/n yelled at the red-haired boy "save them Tanjiro!" Sumi and Kiyo cried out to the boy. 

"Damm you brat" Tengen yelled out as he tried shoving one of the girls off him, Tanjiro jumped at Tengen attempting to headbutt the man.

Only for Tengen to jump out of the way landing on the fence, Tanjiro landing on his stomach with Sumi landing on his back "are you okay?" Tanjiro asked "yeah" she wined.

"You fool, I am the 'Former Shinobi' Uzui Tengen-sama, the man who is known as the most flamboyant around these parts, did you think that I would get headbutted by a snot-filled brat like you" Tengen spoke out looking down at the boy.

"Give Aoi-san and the others back!" Tanjiro yelled out "Yeah yeah pervert pervert!" Sumi and Kiyo yelled out.

"You damm brats!! who do you think you're mouthing off to here" Tengen yelled "I have superiority as a pillar you jackasses!" He continued.

"I don't accept you as a pillar! hmph!"  Tanjiro responded "Don't 'hmph' meee!! what the hell do you mean you don't accept me! You lowly brat! Is your brain completely dead!?" Tengen yelled at the red-haired boy.

"I need a girl on this mission, so I'm bringing them along!" Tengen yelled once again "I don't need Kochou's permission if they arent 'successors'!" he continued to yell.

"Naho-chan isn't a hunters member! She isn't wearing a uniform!" Sumi cried out "Don't need her then" Tengen spoke out as he threw the girl. 

"what are you doing you, inhuman bastard" Tanjiro screamed at the man as he caught Naho "Waaah he dropped me!" Naho cried out as she clung onto Tanjiro. 

"Anyway, I'm talking her on my mission. She may not be useful, but she's still a hunters member regardless" Tengen spoke up.

"People have their own circumstances, so id like you to stop poking around so insensitively!" Tengen yelled out once again "Let go of Aoi-san!" Y/n yelled at the pillar.

"Tepid, so tepid. Your a giant mess and plain out tired. The demon hunters are just getting weaker and weaker" Tengen spoke out.

"we'll go instead of Aoi-san! Right Y/n" Tanjiro yelled "Yeah!" Y/n yelled out raising a fist in the air "wait what" Y/n said as her face deadpanned. 

Zenitsu and Inosuke appearing on both sides of the pillars

"I was just on my way back, but I got some strength left. I can head out!" Inosuke yelled pointing a finger to himself.

"L-L-L-L-Let go of Aoi-chan! Even if your some muscular monster, y-y-y-your not taking another step" Zenitsu said studdering in a raspy voice. 

A sudden aura appeared around the pillar, shocking everyone as they went stiff.  "oh okay, ill have you guys come with me instead" he spoke up. 

'he's clearly stepping down with a fight' Tanjiro thought to himself as he stared at the large man "but don't you dare defy me, punks" Tengen said slapping Aoi's bottom. 

Aoi was safely returned.

The trio began following Tengen out of the butterfly estate, Tanjiro dragged Y/n along with a large smile plastered on his face.

'Doesn't he need Oonesans permission, why am I here' Y/n thought to herself she was being dragged by the red-haired male.

'he huge' Zenitsu thought to himself as sweat glands appeared on his face "So, where are we going geezer?" Inosuke asked the pillar as they left the butterfly estate grounds.

The pillar stopped catching the attention of Y/n and the trio "To the most flamboyant place in all of Japan, filled with lust and greed" the pillar spoke up.

Question marks appearing above the Y/n and the trio "the 'red light distrect' where the demon lives" Tengen said as he turned to face the lower-ranked demon hunters.
