(y/n) sat inside the Ubuyashiki estate awaiting for the judge or Oyakata-sama to come and decided his fate. He asked for no one to defend him and if he dies today he will die knowing he did what he could.
His sisters did not understand that one bit. All except Kanae. She knew her brother has been through and has been forced to do things that can taint someones mind. To the point of no return. She didn't ever think that he would be this bad off.
But she stood there with Shinobu and other pillars. No one else was allowed to be inside the room nor outside it.
Soon the door opened to show the two twin girls, Amane-sama or Oyakata's wife, and Oyakata-sama. Kagaya felt such sadness for his child. He could not feel any hope off him.
It was grief instead.
"My children we are here to answer questions we all would like to know the answers to. (y/n) my dear please if you could, hold the sword and swear to speak the truth and nothing above or below it."
Scared hands grip the hilt and he swears.
"I swear on my honor and name I will speak only truth."
"Then let us begin."
Kiriya brings out papers of hand written witness portrayals or evidence to their cause/case. The total amount was six witnesses. Six accounts against him and also the indite by Oyakata-sama himself.
"Today there are six accounts against Kocho (y/n) for:
Conspiracy of harboring a demon, Conspiracy of being a demon, Conspiracy of eating and or harming humans, Conspiracy of giving leads or work against the corps, Account of harming a fellow pillar."
He paused. The last one seemed outrageous.
"Having relations to an upper rank/moon demon." The boy said. A seventh account against him.
The room became very stiff. Six. Now seven. cases, either way he was going to die if any were true. The witness would walk free even if its not true. This made Kyojuro pissed.
Eye for and Eye.
He felt vein throbbing on his face and hands, blue nails growing. But he could see tears roll down (y/n)'s face. He didn't want to die. Kyojuro knew it. He wanted to make amends for time he lost and mistakes he made. He wanted his true freedom. He still felt captured within those walls of that cult house and that brothel.
Kyojuro hid his demonic feature and felt his heart breaking. He held his head down and listened to the first questions being asked.
Kiriya began;
"Kocho (y/n) are or are you not harboring a demon? If so say yes, if not say no."
His breath was stiff, shaky. He was breaking, loosing composure.
"No."
Continued on.
Each breath was painful for both of them, each question was a stab into the heart.
"Have you or have you not, been seen leaving the flame estate."
"Yes."
"Did you or did you not, have been seen with both Rengoku Shinjuro's and Rengoku Senjuro's blood. Even the current Flame pillars blood. Rengoku Kyojuro? If so say yes, if not say no."
"Yes."
Some pillars gasped. He was there, but sent on a mission.
"Did you or did you not fight Rengoku Kyojuro? If so say yes, if not say no."
"Yes."
Every question the same. "Did your or did you not harm a fellow pillar?" "Did you or did you not encounter an upper rank demon and did not report it?" "Did you or did you not visit a wisteria house in Okinawa?" "Did you or did you not draw blood of a human and a demon?" "Was there or was not any sign of your blood there?"
All answers the same.
"Yes."
The final question came.
"Did you or did you not eat the recent flame pillar and eat his son Senjuro? On same topic. Are you or not working of the upper moon from when of the red light district. Specifically upper rank two or upper rank three or six?"
"Say yes or no."
By this point all the pillars were shocked. He answered honestly, Tengen could heart his heart. No lies.
"Yes."
Lie.
"Wait! Oyakata-sama something he said abou-"
"Yes, I have involvement with upper rank two and upper rank three. Yes, I ate killed and ate the recent flame pillar. I apologize to the current."
He glanced at Kyojuro who was angry.
Why was he lying. Why isn't he at least trying to defend himself? Why? "Defend yourself.." a hoarse whisper..
"Then it is decided."
Oyakata-sama rose from his seating, as does all the pillars.
"The trial has ended my children. We have a direct answer with direct evidence."
"The demon slayer corps, find Kocho (y/n)..
Guilty by seven accounts."
The pillars all either gasped or began to sob quietly.
Kyojuro was on the brink on insanity.
"I am sorry my child but I must say this.
Punishment is death by decapitation. To make this fair as well for the lives you took."
(y/n) looked up with a blank stare.
"Rengoku Kyojuro the last living and eldest son and brother of Rengoku Shinjuro and Rengoku Senjuro will be the one to decapitate you.."
Both hitched their breaths.
Eye for an Eye, you ruined my life, I'll ruin yours.
Killed by the one you loved most.
Yeah...hi! How are you? How are you feeling? Byebye!
