"Oyakata-sama, you requested to see me?" You said, knocking on the door of the room he had resided in "Come in" a voice spoke out and with that, you opened the door, making sure to close it behind you.

"Come sit," Oyakata said.

You did as asked, you knelt down in front of the male and his wife "You've come so far since joining the demon slayer corps" the male said.

"... Oyakata-sama, I don't wish to be rude but by your scent you hadn't called me here to compliment me" you say, wary of the situation.

"You're right, I have someone I want you to meet..." Oyakata said just as he finished his sentence a blade had shot through your waist, a gasped left your mouth as you had begin to gurgle on your own blood.

The blade that was in your stomach twisted before it was pulled out, the scent of someone familiar was behind you. You had began to cough large amounts of blood after the blade was removed, you pressed a hand on your abdomen.

"Who are you" you gritted through your teeth "You're weak" the person replied "Your healing ability is slow and so are you're reflexes" they added.

"What happened?" Oyakata asked as he listened your coughs and pain filled voice "I stabbed her through the waist" the strange person spoke out.

"You asked who I was, right?" The person said as the took a knee beside you "I'm Marione" they say as she removed the mask covering her face. You glanced at the person beside you before turning your head to face then completely.

A woman was next to you, a women who resembled the face and scent of your mother.

"My young niece has grown so much since I last saw you" Marione says as she patted your head.

"We should begin to get to know eachother as you will be under my care from here on out" Marione says. After the meeting Oyakata the two of you took off, returning to Marione's home.

"You apparently already know everything about me" you muttered "I suppose you're right... Have you kissed somebody yet?" Marione asked "Odd question but no" you answered. "Hmm, that's too bad" Marione said.

"Oh, right" Marione said as she came to a stop, "What?" You said "I forgot, please do forgive this is for safety reasons" she said "What is?... Geh!" You asked before letting out a groan. Marione slammed her hand onto your neck, knocking you out.

"Get up" a muffled voice said, seconds later cold water spewed onto your face. You sat up, coughing "What the hell" you muttered, you examined your surroundings.

You were in a futon with red decals, a fire and pot laid a few feet next to you, you were currently in a well decorated home. The engawa door wide open, a forest of wisteria surrounded the home.

Marion's home, you thought.

"We need to talk" Marione says as she sat in front of you "Tch, you could've just shaken me awake or something" you said "Have you seen an odd amount of spiders, black spiders?" Marione asked "Yeah why?" You answered, confused.

"I see, she's marked you" Marione said "Marked me? Who's marked me?" You ask "... Rai, she's marked me too" Marione says "Rai? She's still alive, no! What do you mean by marked?!" You asked, thinking the worse.

"For her to mark you all it takes is a single bite from one of her spiders after that she'll always know of your whereabouts, thoughts and actions" Marione explains "If she has me marked why doesn't she just bring me to Muzan? He can see what his demons see can't he?" You ask "You're right, he can but since you have the blue spider lily flowing in your veins, her blood demon art wares off over time but of course I can only confirm this theory if you can confirm you've been bitten more than one" Marione says.

"Bitten more then once..." You mumbled, thinking back on all the times you've been bitten by a spider in the mountains, the butterfly estate, red light district, and the swordsmith village "... I've been bitten more then once"

"But then there's another reason, you see Rai showed up at my door, that's why I have so much wisteria plants" Marione says "She came here? When, what happened?!" You ask, raising your voice as you were slightly angered.

"A couple of days ago...

Creaking off the floorboard rang in Marione's ear as she was making tea, the movement of the wind came to a sudden change "Who's stalking me at this time" Marione says, keeping her back to the person.

"Your niece" the person replies "Rai, it's been awhile, I heard your a demon now how's that going for you?" Marione asks "Don't taunt me" Rai says as she approaches Marione and taking a seat next to her "Tch, you look exactly like that witch" Rai snarled "Do you mean your mother, you shouldn't talk to lowly of the dead" Marione says as she took a sip of her tea.

"Shut up, you know why I hate her so much, don't defend her you hate her as much as I do" Rai said, fisting her hand as she recalled all that her mothers done.

"You love your sister" Marione says, noticing the distress of the demon beside her "Ive come here to ask you a favour" Rai says "That depends" Marione says "She's weak, I want you to take her in and train her, your one of the best swordsman to exist" Rai says "She seems to be doing pretty well, she did defeat an upper moon on her own and played a partial role in defeating another upper moon" Marione says.

"She only defeated that uppermoon because of me! If didn't show up and get her out of the freaks bubble, she would've drowned to death if I didn't use my spiders to lend her some of my strength she wouldn't have defeated that freak Gyokko!" Rai yelled "Used your spiders?" Marione questioned.

Rai stared at Marione, irritated as that was the only thing she responded about "Yes, my spiders, I'll show you if you like" Rai says as she fisted her hand, palm facing up. She opened her hand and a spider laid on her palm.

"Hold it" Rai says, Marione gave Rai her hand she dumped the spider on her hand. A few seconds had past and the spider eventually bit Marione.

That stung, Marione thought.

"That stung" Rai mocked. Marione shot her eyes at Rai, completely shocked.

I must've said that out loud, Marione thought.

"You didn't say it out loud" Rai said, "Intriguing technique, Rai" Marione says "You mentioned you wanted me to train your sister, isn't that dangerous I mean Muzan can see and hear what his demons do" Marione says "He can't see through my eyes or hear through my ears, I use my technique to give him false visions and sounds, right now he thinks I'm ripping the throat out of an older male" Rai says.

"... I'll agree to training her if you remove your technique from me" Marione declared "Fine" Rai says.

Rai grabbed ahold of Marione's hand she placed two fingers over the spider bite and when she lifted her hand the bite mark was gone along with the rash that was occurring.

"Hmm, why do you want me to train her?" Marione asked as she examined her hand "I want her to be as strong as me for when I kill her" Rai answered "Is that really the reason?" Marione asked "...No" Rai answered as she suddenly disappeared.

...And with those words, she had vanished into the night" Marione said

You had sat in shock "How could I have been so stupid? It was so odd that spiders kept appearing before me" you say "You couldn't have connected spiders to your sister don't shame yourself" Marione says.

"I want you to train me... I want you to help me become the greatest keeper to exist and I want you to help me end Rai" you say with sheer determination.
