Kamado Tanjiro Vs Muzan Kibutsuji

Chapter 8 { Big brother }

Big Brother(Demon's POV)

Before my death, I saw a flashback. The sound he make at that moment was the same sound that came from that guy back then before I was capture by Urokodaki. The man was a elderly and was wearing hanafuda earrings. He is probably in his 80s but he is able to stop me. Urokodaki stop him from killing me. He listened to him and leave me to let Urokodaki to capture me alive. Like a sound echoing against the rolling wind. Is that same man that made my life miserable. If he did not hunt me back then. I won't be capture by him! And now this kid has the hanafuda earrings. He is probably the successor of that man!

I shouted, 'Damn YOU!'

(Tanjiro's POV)

I slash its body downward into six slices. I landed safely onto the ground. The demon's head and the other's body parts fall onto the ground apart from each other. The demon's head look at its sliced body, 'Damn Damn Damn Damn! I'm going to die! My body is gradually turning to dust, I'm already too late to stop it. In the end he'll gaze upon me with eyes that are full of disdain. Damn it, I'm so afraid to close my eyes but this body won't allow me to turn my head. I can't believe the last scene I look upon before my death is a demon hunter...'

It widens its eyes when it saw my face, 'Why do you have that expression on your face?' My face was filled with sadness and empathy when I look at it.

It suddenly got a glimp of its own memory before he become a demon, 'Big brother, I'm alone in the dark. I'm scared. Big brother, hold my hand like you always do. Why did I devour my brother? Eh? Who is this brother I'm thinking about?'

I walk toward its slice hand with a scent of sorrow. I grab its hand and put my forehead on its hand. I pray for it, 'God please, allow this person to never become a demon again when he reincarnates.'

When it look at the scene, it begin crying, 'Big brother. Big brother, big brother grab my hand. Alright, alright. You're always such a scardey-cat.' Its head and body crumble away in dust. I look at the crumble body with my eyes and say, 'Sabito...Makomo, I won. You guys can be at ease now. The other children that were killed will also return just as was promise. Eventhough they are only spirits now. Return back to be by their beloved Urokodaki sensei's side. Back to their home narrow mist mountain. If I die, my spirit will return to where Nezuko and Urokodaki sensei are.' Soft wind blow through my hair and made my long hair flow in the wind. Suddenly I heard children voices, 'Thank you, Tanjiro. Don't die.' I quickly turn my head back to check and I found nothing. It was probably the children spirits thanking me. I promise I won't die in final selection.

7 days later, morning...

The participants and I gather at the front of the shrine gate. The two twins sibilings stand infront of us and say, 'Welcome back. Congratulations. Being safe and sound is better than anything else.' I look around the place and saw a few people made it out alive in final selection, 'There are only four left?! They were 20 or so people before. That guy isn't here too because I can't find him when he escaped the battle. He is probably eaten by other demons. I couldn't save him.' I look at the four people and observe them.

One of them is a girl with a side pony tail wearing a butterfly hairclip. She was enjoying the presence of a butterfly landed on her pointer finger. She is quite calm and beautiful.

The other boy with the blond hair keep saying, 'Will die, Will die, Will die, Will die! Even if we survived, we'll die in the end...' He is quite a coward but have a good heart.

And The last boy with a scar on his face says, 'Eh? What do I do? What about the blade?' He is quite impatient and short temper.

The two sibilings continue saying, 'You must first pay the cost for the uniform. Then you must get your body measured and have your rank engraved. There are ten ranks in total. 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th. The highest rank and the elites of the demon slayers are called the pillars. You are now at the lowest 10th level.'

The boy with the scar on his face says, 'What about the blade?'

One of the sibilings replies, 'Today you will each choose a chunk of tamahagane alloy. Your blade will be completed within 10 to 15 days. Also from now on, Kasugaigarasu will be following you all.' Suddenly three crow appeared out of nowhere and landed on me and the two people. Strangely the blond hair boy get a sparrow instead of a crow. He says, 'Eh? A crow? Isn't this... Isn't this a sparrow?'

The sibilings continue explaining, 'Kasugaigarasu is a crow that is primarily used for communication.' Suddenly I heard a fuse beside me. I saw the boy with scar chase away the crow and shouted at one of the sibiling, 'I don't care about some dumb crows!' He grab the sibiling hair and shouted right infront of her face, 'What I want is the blade! Give me the blade right now! The blade of the demon hunter! The "blade of colour change"!' with a irritating tone.

I cannot stand his attitude toward the girl so I quickly walk toward him and grab him arm, 'Let go off her this instant! If you don't let go I'll break your arm!'

He looked at me and yell back, 'Huh?! Who are you. You can try if you dare!' That's it I'm breaking his arm. I take in a deep breath and I increased my grip strength. Suddenly there is a snap sound. I let go of his arm and he quickly let go of her while groaning in pain. I stand infront of the girl in a defensive position while looking at him with my ruby red eyes.

Suddenly the another sibiling says, 'Are you done? If so, please go over there and choose the alloy that will be used to create your blade. The alloy for the blade that will be used to destroy demons and protect yourself will be chosen personally chosen by each of you.' We four look at the ores and begin to pick them carefully.

At a estate...

One figure was sitting outside the estate and just recieved a message from a crow. He says, 'Is that so? There are five people remaining. They seem to be excellent. My swordsmen have increased. I wonder what kind of swordsmen they all are.' while enjoying the view of his estate's garden.
