"Now then," Master Kagaya began. "The rest of you, while I take care of these two, I want you to go out and find Tomioka." He finished. "Yes Master." the Pillars said in unison, and with that, they left to find their water Pillar. "Shinobu, Sanemi, come here please." The two walked over to Master Kagaya and sat in front of him. "Since you two have decided to behave so harshly towards Tomioka, as of today you both are suspended from doing any mission for two weeks." Master Kagaya declared. "B-but Master, we can-" Sanemi was cut short by Shinobu speaking up. "Sanemi, you can't argue with the Master, his decision has been made, as much as I don't like it either, we must do as told." Sanemi just sighed. "Now, you two go to your Estates." Master Kagaya said. Both the Wind Pillar and the Insect Pillar got up and went their separate ways to their Estates.
                 
                     ~With The Other Hashira~

     So far the Pillars' search of Tomioka has been unsuccessful. "Oh no, what if we never find him and he gets eaten by a demon!" Misturi spoke with worrisome. "Kanroji, Tomioka is a demon slayer, along with being a Hashira, I do believe he would not allow himself to be killed and eaten by a demon." Obanai attempted to ease the girls' worries. "What if he gets turned into a demon, it'll be our fault for being so cruel and blind towards him!" Mitsuri confessed. "I'm sure he would not let himself get turned into a demon as well." again Obanai attempted to ease Mitsuri's worries. Mitsuri nodded a bit trusting her lovers' words. "you're right.." Obanai gently pats her head in an attempt to reassure her some more, even if it is in the slightest.
     "Let's keep looking guys!" Rengoku yelled, for some reason still having his typical smile. Mitsuri gave Obanai a quick hug. "Thank you Iguro." she gave him a small closed eye smile and then ran off to continue the search. Let's just say Obanai was frozen in place before Muichiro came to him, and poked him telling Obanai to continue the search.
     At some point, Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu, and the all-mighty Inosuke were brought in to help with the search. "Maybe he ran off to a place that's special to him?" Tanjiro suggested. "Maybe, but Tomioka never really talks to us, so we don't know anywhere that he'd find special," Tengen admitted. Tanjiro thought for a minute. Nezuko waddled over to her little brother and tapped on him. Once gaining his attention, she attempted to imitate someone with a mask with a long nose. Tanjiro looked at her confused for a second before realizing. "Ooh Urokodaki-senseis, of course, thank you Nezuko!" Tanjiro smiled at her giving her some pets. This action of Tanjiros of course making nezuko happy, as she does love pets. Tanjiro headed off to Urokodakis' home, with his little team and the Hashira following behind him.
     After a while of running and walking, they all arrived at Urokodaki's home. Tanjiro went up to the door and gently knocked. Nothing. The boy knocked once again, but this time a bit harder. There was silence. Then the sound of someone walking. Soon enough the door opened, revealing the past Water Hashira, Urokodaki. "Tanjiro, hello, what brings you and your.." He paused for a moment looking up at the Hashira that stood behind the kid. "associates here today?" Urokodaki asked with a suspicious look, though not obvious because of the mask.
     "Ah, well we were looking for Tomioka-san, and decided to see if he was here," Tanjiro answered honestly. "I see. Well, Tomioka is here, but wishes not to be disturbed at the moment." Urokodaki spoke with an unwavering tone. "But we have to bring him back to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, if not the Master will be upset with us." Tengen protested. "Still Tomioka will remain here for as long as he wishes, Tell your master that Tomioka is safe with the previous Water Hashira and that there is no need to worry." Urokodaki directed. "B-but-" Gyomei set his hand on Tengen's shoulder causing him to hush. "fine, but at least tell him we came here looking for him," Tengen said with slight hesitance. "Will do." And with that, they left. They left to go back to the HQ, left to tell the Master they found Giyuu and left to tell the Master he was safe but could not bring him back.
