"H. . He-help me!!" One of the surprisingly alive females called out.
Hayami was just about to speed her way to help her when Shinobu acted faster. She whirled around the tall demon before landing gracefully on the platform beside him. The female is safe and sound in her arms.
The peace hashira soon followed before she kneeled next to the shaking female, "Are you okay?" She questioned softly as she took in the quite few injuries she had.
She could hear the demon's voice in the background, complimenting both their speed and questioning whether or not they are a hashira.
Before the shaking female in both the hashiras grasp could answer Hayami's question, her body was sliced into multiple different sizes. Her blood splattered all over the wooden platform, and her head was decapitated from her neck.
The two female hashiras widen their eyes at the unexpected death before their eyes. This demon was a sick psychopath.
"Don't worry about her~! Just leave her there. . . I'll make sure to gobble her up later~!" The demon said sinisterly from behind their backs.
As they both turned their heads to face the demon, he had a pair of sharp fans in both his hands. Hayami noted that in his rainbow-colored eyes were engraved the words 'upper rank two'.
"I am the founder of the 'eternal paradise cult'. . . My duty is to make all my worshippers, including myself happy~! So I will eat her up without leaving a single speck of blood or flesh left~!" He spoke as he flipped the fans he had around, it was almost as if he was bragging to the two hashiras about the accomplishments he had done.
Hayami can see Shinobu frown at his words from the corner of her eyes. She looked back at the demon before she responded to his words, "How will you make anyone happy" she spat out, which is quite rare for her to do. But knowing that this demon that stood before her and Shinobu was the one that had killed Kanae, made her blood boil in anger.
"That girl you just killed. . . She was screaming for help" Shinobu added, her voice indicating that she too, was not happy.
"That's why I saved her~! She is no longer feeling any more pain, nor is she suffering~! There really is nothing to be afraid of~!" He answered happily as if he hadn't just taken the life of an innocent girl.
Afraid? Hayami couldn't care less about any form of fear she had. She had grown up without living most of her life, and she has lived quite the adventurous and memorable one ever since she joined the demon slayer corps. She would say she was ready to lose her life in battle.
"You know. . . Everyone is afraid of dying. . . That's why I eat all of them up~! Now they get to live together with me, forever~!" He continued.
Hayami is unsure what his past may be, and she still trusts in her ideals, that all the souls of the demons should rest peacefully. If anything, the peace hashira wanted nothing but to kill him right there and then. She has never felt this much rage emotion in her entire life, she has always treated people kindly even when they have mistreated her. But this demon was a madman, and there was absolutely no way he was sane.
