The Strongest Slayer: A KNY Fanfiction

Chapter 9: Ubuyashiki Mansion

Tanjiro pulled off a blindfold given to him by Shinobu and Giyu when they gave him the okay. He looked around and noticed a group of people were there. Takeo also took off his blindfold, only for the two to realize they couldn't find Nezuko. Just as a quick heads-up, I'm not writing "Oyakata-Sama" every time he's addressed. I'ma just stick to the dubs and write "Master" since it's more practical for chapter efficiency, hence the lack of pronouns being used past a certain chapter. "Interesting," a man with fiery red hair and a large amount of excitement and energy said. Tanjiro and Takeo only sat in a corner, not caring what the others had to say, planning on how to escape if it came to it. "I hear Tomioka also violated corps rules," a man in a tree with heterochromatic eyes said. Takeo twitched at this but disregarded it. "I see. I wish to hear the children's pleas," a man of large stature with prayer beads around his neck spoke. "Ay! Brats! This the demon you harboring!" A man with white hair and a large number of scars yelled, garnering the two's attention. "N-Nezuko!" Takeo exclaimed. "Sanemi, don't do anything rash," Shinobu said in a warning tone. Sanemi stabbed the box. "Filthy demons shouldn't exist! You all should be executed!" Sanemi exclaimed. Takeo closed his eyes as he pulled out his scythe. "What're you gonna d-" Sanemi was interrupted before he could even finish by Takeo vanishing from their eyes, appearing behind Sanemi. "Let. Go. Now," Takeo spoke. He'd used his time breathing to freeze time and move behind Sanemi, adjusting the blade of his scythe to hold itself against his neck. All the Hashira froze at his display of speed. 

"Takeo." Tanjiro spoke darkly, garnering the attention of the group. "Let him go. I'm sure he won't mind dropping the box... right?" Tanjiro asked darkly. The Hashira collectively flinched at his tone besides the praying dude, who was like a rock, the apathetic seaweed, and Giyu, who knew this was a familial bond. "R-Right... brat," Sanemi spoke, muttering the last part. As much as he didn't want to admit it, the younger brother was scary. And if the older one could influence his brother, he didn't want to know what would happen to him. Suddenly, the voice of two girls sounded out. "The master of the house has arrived," they spoke in unison. A man who looked sick with white eyes and veins running from the top of his head to right above his nose walked up to them. Immediately, Tanjiro could tell that this man gave off a sense of serenity, though he forced himself to not get light-headed. "It's nice to have our twice-yearly hashira meeting without any members changing," the man spoke. 

Tanjiro's eyes softened. "That's nice to know you care," he whispered. The other hashira didn't hear, but Takeo and the man did. The man gave Tanjiro a smile as Tanjiro, along with his brother, bowed respectfully. "Master Ubuyashiki. It's nice to see you in good health," Sanemi spoke, making Takeo deadpan from that. 'So now he's respectful???' He thought to himself. Tanjiro only sighed deeply through his nose. "Master, before we begin, please tell us the reasoning of the two kids and the demon!" A man with two large swords strapped to his back exclaimed. Tanjiro slowly felt his grip tighten on his blade. "Oh. I have chosen to accept Nezuko. I wish for you all to do the same," Ubuyashiki said to them all. "Master! I respect you with all my heart, but I must reject!" The flame guy said. "I too must flamboyantly oppose!" The two-swords guy said. The absolute mountain of a man let out a small prayer. "These poor children. It's best if they'd never been born as to avoid this fate." Ubuyashiki sighed. "These two have met Kibutsuji," he spoke. Instantly, the hashira all exploded into chatter. They began demanding information about Kibutsuji. 

Think of this next part if you want, though it won't be canon

Tanjiro and Takeo both stood up and a microphone appeared in Tanjiro's hand while Takeo began moonwalking. "Billie Jean is not my lover. She's just a girl who claims that I am the one. But the kid is not my son. She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son," Tanjiro sang while Takeo finished moonwalking by tipping a fedora that appeared in his hand. 

Actual Part Now

"Sh," Ubuyashiki's calm voice spread across the Hashira. "Now, let me read you a portion of this letter from Sakonji Urokodaki," he said. "I have taught two more students; Tanjiro and Takeo. They travel with their demon sister named Nezuko. However, in the 2 years she's been a demon, never once has she eaten a human. I know it is hard to believe, but it is the truth. If she is to ever eat anyone, myself, along with Tanjiro and Takeo Kamado, as well as Giyu Tomioka, will make amends by slicing open our stomach," and then the master stopped reading. "So what if he'll commit Seppuku! If he wants to die, he can rot!" Sanemi exclaimed. Suddenly, a menacing aura overtook the area as they all turned to Takeo, the pure anger radiating from him in waves. "What did you say about my master?" He asked darkly. Sanemi instantly shut up and Takeo returned to normal. "Well, how about we prove it right here, right now," Tanjiro said. The group all looked at him. "Sanemi. Since you stabbed Nezuko, I'll offer my blood," Tanjiro said. Sanemi glared. "No. I'll do it. She might not attack you because you're siblings," Sanemi said. Tanjiro sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose. "Very well then," he said. Sanemi moved to the shade and Tanjiro watched, only to see Nezuko turn away from Sanemi. Sanemi had a look of confusion in his eyes while the two daughters stared blankly. "What happened?" Ubuyashiki asked his daughters. "The girl turned away from Sanemi after he stabbed her and offered his bloody arm for her to feed on," the daughter on the right said. "Very well then. She's proven herself," Ubuyashiki said, garnering a wave of gasps and disbelief from them. "Well then, they can stay at my place!" Shinobu exclaimed. The kakushi instantly dragged them away, only for Takeo to come running back. "SANEMI! I'MA KILL YOU FOR STABBING NEZUKO!" He yelled, only for the Kakushi to drag him away. "AAAAAAAAAAH!" A loud scream was heard. "Tanjiro. Say hello to Tamayo for me," Ubuyashiki spoke as he watched Tanjiro help the kakushi with Takeo. Tanjiro nodded and they left.
