Kota's POV
I stand there, watching all the hashiras stare at me. I examine every one of them.
Mitsuri is crying.
Kocho-san is smiling creepily.
Shinazugawa-san looks like his veins are about to burst.
Tokito looks clueless of why he is there.
Himejima-san's eyes are forming tears.
Igrou-san isn't showing any emotion.
Uzui-san is shaking his head.
Rengoku-san's bright smile has faded away.
And finally, I turn to see Tomioka-san.
Tomioka-san is looking at me with disappointment in his eyes.
"Kota! I- I can't believe you did this to us! I didn't want to believe it..." Mitsuri sobs, wiping away her tears.
I need to keep my mind firm. Don't feel sympathy. They are the ones who killed mother.
But why?
Why would they kill my mom?
I stay silent, glaring at them. It doesn't matter why. They killed her. I grew up without a mother's love. I feel pure rage rowing inside of me. Tears start forming in my eyes just by thinking of it.
They don't deserve to live.
I grit my teeth, placing my hand on my katana's handle.
'I'll order Nakime to bring you guys here. Tell me when you are ready.'
Muzan-sama declares. I nod.
"Just what the hell are you thinking???" Shinazugawa-san yells, pointing his blade at me. "You don't deserve life!!"
I shut my eyes. Here it goes.
"Muzan-sama!!" I called out. The hashiras all freeze. "Now!!"
On cue, the floor beneath them disappears. They fall down to what I'm guessing the infinity fortress. I hop in with them, not realizing the trio has watched it all.
I balance on the wooden floor. All the hashiras has their guard up. I decided to get away when they're distracted.
I dash around the fortress to find my dad's room. I open the door. and see a pair of dad's clothes, but smaller. I pick up a note beside it.
Kota, Dear~!
If you're reading this, I'm in my fighting zone! Wear this little gift I got for you, and come join me!
I place back the paper beside his futon, and get changed. I'm smiling the whole time. Finally some real drama.
When I'm done wearing my new clothes, I feel comfy. It feels way better than the uniform.
I grab my katana and rush out of the room.
"Nakime, please bring me to my dad." I call out.
No response.
After a minute of standing, I'm still not teleported. Strange.
Suddenly to my right, I hear a loud explosion.
I whip my head around and run towards the noise. What the hell just happened?
When I arrive at the scene, everything is destroyed. The doors and walls are broken. I almost step on broken wood.
"What the..." I mutter, the dust covering my vision. I sway them out of the way, trying to see what happened.
When the vision starts to clear, I freeze. A familiar body with strips is in my view, bleeding, fading away.
"A-akaza?" I whisper, and he turns his head to me. Half of his face is already gone.
It's really him.
"Akaza!!" I shout, running towards him. I collapsed on the floor."Why the hell would you use your attack on yourself?!"
Tears roll down my cheek as he gives me a soft smile. A smile of peace.
"No.. no.." I cry, holding onto his fading hands. "Akaza, you can't just leave like that."
I suddenly catch a vision of a young women. I can tell she's not real.
'It's time to go,' The woman speaks softly. She's not talking to me, but Akaza.
She disappears out of view, and Akaza is almost gone.
"You can't just leave like that!! Akaza!! Regenerate!! Please.." I cry out, holding onto his arm firmly.
"I.." Akaza speaks, scanning my face. "I.. don't want to.."
"What do you mean you don't want to?! Shut up, shut up!! Don't leave me!" I shout, wailing. I pull him into a tight hug, not wanting to let him go.
"I'm... sorry.." is all he says. I sit there, crying my life out. Hair falls over my face.
I look up and turn my head sideways. I spot Rengoku-san, Tomioka-san and Tanjiro. I don't care that they're seeing me like this.
I sniff and wipe my face, but I'm unable to stop the flow of my tears. I just let them run.
"...what just.. happened?" Rengoku-san mutters, holding his katana.
"...Kota." Tomioka-san glances over at me, but I look away.
"Akaza... please..." I beg, holding onto his ashes. He smiles at me one last time, before he is completely gone.
My head touches the floor, and I lay there crying. "Akaza.. Akaza... I hate you.."
I feel something cool touching my neck. I slowly look up. My vision is blurry from all the tears, but I can see that it's Tomioka-san.
"You know what happens if you betray the corps, right?" He says calmly. I scoff, brushing my hair out of my face.
"You really couldn't care less, huh?" I mutter, chuckling. "Of course, someone like you wouldn't know how this feels."
He is silent. He raises his blade a little, clenching his fists.
I breathe in deeply. Ice breathing, third form; clouds of icy air
My breathing style allows the room to be covered with icy winds, and I take that chance to run away. As I run, more tears roll down my cheeks. I didn't know a person could cry this much.
When I arrive where dad is, my tears have stopped. My breathing is still a little shaky.
"Kota, dear~?" I hear the familiar voice of dad. I turn around and see dad approaching me. "Hi~!"
He studies me, then frowns a little. "Were you crying~? Who made my sweet baby cry?"
I hug dad tightly. "Akaza-dono... died.."
Dad is silent, then I feel a firm hand patting my head. "There, there. I'm sure Akaza-dono is happy wherever he is. I promise I won't leave you."
I look up. "Promise?"
"Promise."
