Captured blades

Chpt. 5 "Missing"

*Near the butterfly Estate*

            Shinobu and Giyuu had nearly returned from their mission near tokyo. The demon they faced was surprisingly easy to deal with so they had decided to come home earlier then was expected. According to the crows, Zenitsu and Inosuke were still on their mission but were doing well but they received no word from Tanjiro and Kanao.

Shinobu: "Ara ara. Who would've thought that such a weak demon would be lurking around a place like the capital. Truly strange huh Tomioka-san?"

Giyuu: "It's trivial. It doesn't matter where the demons show up, all that matters is that we defeat them."

Shinobu: "You know Tomioka-san, such an indifferent personality like that is likely to explain why so few people like you."

Giyuu: "..."

Shinobu: "Oh come on Tomioka-san~. The silent treatment? You seriously have nothing to say?"

Giyuu: "Shinobu, I-"

"CAW CAW HELP HELP HELP CAW!"

Shinobu's thoughts: "What is with these crows constantly interrupting things for me right when they get good?"

Crow: "HELP HELP. TANJIRO, KANAO, HAVE BOTH ENCOUNTERED UPPER MOON 5!"

Shinobu and Giyuu: "WHAT?!"

Giyuu: "What happened?! Are they alright?"

Crow: "DON'T KNOW! They were both knocked unconscious and dragged away somewhere!"

Shinobu: "They've been... captured?! Why would a demon do that?!"

Giyuu: "Perhaps something to do with Tanjiro. All things considered, Kibutsuji likely would want to deal with Tanjiro personally."

Shinobu: "So what are we suppose to do? We have no idea where they've been taken to."

Crow: "Another crow is currently following the demon to where it is taking the two slayers! It will report back once it has determined their location!"

Giyuu: "Which means all we can do now is wait. Damn it!"

Crow: "Master Ubuyashiki and all the Hashira have been informed of this. A task force of several Hashira as well as many lower level demon slayers are to find and raid wherever Kamado Tanjiro and Tsuyuri Kanao are being held and rescue them. All the while doing everything in their power to cripple the forces of Kibutsuji. Prepare yourselfs. A war is brewing on the horizon."

Giyuu's thoughts: "Tanjiro. Whatever happens. Survive. For your sister, your friends, all of us."

Shinobu's thoughts: "Kanao. Please, for the love of god don't leave us."

*Dimensional Infinity Fortress*

???: "Hey. Wake up brat. Come on. Wake up! Damn kid. I SAID WAKE UP!"

          Tanjiro's eyes snapped open upon hearing loud yelling and quickly scanned his surroundings.

Tanjiro's thoughts: "What the? Where am I? What is this place. I can barely tell up from down...  Never mind that. Who said tha-"

???: "There we go! The sleepy head finally awakens!"

         Tanjiro looked up and his eyes widened in fear looking up at the demon standing in front of him.

Tanjiro: "Akaza!"

Akaza: "Hello there, Kamado Tanjiro! I'm surprised you're still alive. Given the weakling that you are."

Tanjiro: "W-What the hell is this place?"
