Black Butterfly

"Nezuko!" The boy shouted as you peeked your eyes open to see him free of the ropes that held his wrists.

"Hmph," Nezuko shuns us as you both stared at her in slight shock.

"Hm?" Sanemi hums jerking you both back as you furrow your brows.

*SMACK*

Sanemi stood there in slight shock and distance himself away from any thought. You took advantage of his confusion and took a swift roundhouse kick to the jaw of his face, knocking him on the ground.

"You know, I'd love to stick around and play lab rats, but I'd rather not spill my own blood," You say wiping the blood off your neck and onto the ground.

"What has happened?" Master asks the twins as you moved one strip of your mask down to the cut on your throat.

"The demon girl turned her head away in disgust despite Sanemi stabbing her three times and flaunting (y/n)'s blood in her face, she didn't even attempt to bite (y/n)," The twins said as you plopped on the floor crossed your arms.

"Well, there you have it, the undeniable proof that Nezuko won't attack humans for her needs," You said as Tanjiro widened his eyes and gasped.

"Hm?" You hummed towards Tanjiro as he shook his head.

"You know, Tanjiro, even after this, there will be some who will still refuse Nezuko as an acceptance-," Master says as you looked over at Sanemi who looked at Nezuko in shock, still.

"Work towards changing their minds, some are hard-headed from trauma or beliefs, I can speak on it, I can see why some would refuse such an unthinkable offering," You add on to Master as Sanemi looks at you with his eyes only.

"Prove to the lot of them that you and Nezuko can be helpful to our cause as Demon Slayers," Master finishes off as Tanjiro quickly bowed to him with his pupils trembling.

"Go out and defeat a twelve Kizuki...Do that and you'll be accepted by all, your words will carry out more weight as a result," Master says as Tanjiro furrows his brows and looks up with a sense of determination that made your eyes widen.

"All right, my sister and I will defeat Muzan! Rest assured we will strike him down and stop this endless cycle of misery," Tanjiro yells as you close your eyes in a joyful manner and half-smile through your mask.

'Well isn't that...'

"Maybe too ambitious for you two, let's start by defeating a twelve Kizuki first," Master said as Tanjiro's face flushes a deep red.

"Yes, sir," He says as you notice Mitsuri's cheeks puff up which made you almost laugh.

"It goes without saying that the Hashira of the Demon Slaying corps have phenomenal skills, even some that aren't a part of the Hashira have skills beyond belief...But they have trained themselves to the brink of death and have defeated it, as well as those twelve Kizuki," Master says as every one of the Hashria cracks a smile except you and Sanemi, but even you couldn't help a warm feeling inside of you.

"Yes! A noble pursuit!" Rengoku shouts out as you notice Sanemi stand up and sigh.

"That's why the Hashira receive respect and favorable treatment," Master says, turning his head in your direction a bit.

"So, it'd be best for you to mind your manners when addressing them, Tanjiro," Master continued as Tanjiro brought himself up only to his knees.

"Yes, sir," Tanjiro says as Master turns to Obanai and Sanemi.

"Also, Sanemi, Obanai, don't torment the young ones too much," Master says as Sanemi places his sword on the floor and bows.

"As you wish," The two said as Nezuko blows steam out of her ears, hiding in her box.
