"Tsk. Why is that brat always late to these things even when getting invited 30 minutes earlier than everyone else?!" A silver-haired male yelled, several irk marks popping up on his forehead.

"Please calm down, Shinazugawa-san. I'm sure Hanami-kun is on his way now." Another person, this time a female spoke, her voice calm and laced with honey and after that, the annoyed man drifted away.

"Who're we waiting for again?" A boy muttered in a daze, his head tilting up to look at the clouds above. He was observing their shapes, how they littered through the sky with such calm and indescribable movements.

"Oi! Wake up, stop resisting!" A kakushi suddenly yelled through a strained yet annoyed voice, looking down at a boy who was currently restrained on the floor.

"Come on, bastard. How long are you gonna sleep?! Get up already!!" Another kakushi yelled. This time, he was a male.

It was quite hard to tell with the masks they were always wearing.

The kakushi wacked the unconscious boy on the head. His face was littered with bloody marks and he overall just looked like a mess.

The sleepy boy suddenly jolted awake, his neck craning in a painful way so he could look at what was going on.

Before him stood 6 figures.

"The pillars are now present!"

The black and red-haired boy looked startled and confused.

'Pillars?! What are pillars? What the heck?' His eyes widened at the rather confident looking people standing before him.

'Who are these people? Where am I?' His thoughts began to spur. Just what the hell was going on?

"This is the head quarters of the demon hunters. You are on trial right now, Kamado Tanjiro-kun." The insect pillar spoke up with a calm though sweet smile on her face.

The pillars were the ten highest ranked swordsmen among the demon hunters. Those who are of lower status than the pillars may be killed at a frightening rate, but they are different. The pillars are the ones sustaining the demon hunters.

"There's no need for a trial here! Protecting demons is clearly a violation of conduct! We can deal with it by ourselves! We'll decapitate every demon!" The flame hashira, Rengoku Kyojuro, cheered with a bright smile on his face.

"Then let me cut her head off flamboyantly. I'll show I can spread the blood more flamboyantly than anyone else. It'll be a flamboyant flamboyance." The sound pillar, Uzui Tengen, said confidently with a hand raised to his head in some intricate pose, referring to the demon girl that Tanjiro was carrying with him.

'Eeehh? We're gonna kill such a cute girl? My chest hurts. Oh so much' The love pillar, Kanroji Mitsuri thought with despair, her face holding a natural blush to it with her fingers against her mouth.

"Ahhh, what a shoddy child she is. How sorrowful. It's so sorrowful that she was born into this world." The stone pillar, Himejima Gyomei muttered with despair, natural tears falling down his face as he recited the words Namu-Amidabutsu.

'What were those clouds again? What were they called?' Tokito Muichiro, the mist pillar, thought to himself whilst staring up at the sky.

"Let's kill her." Gyomei muttered.

"Uh-huh!"

"Yeah. Flamboyantly."

Tanjiro struggled on the floor, his head looking all sorts of places but alas, he found nothing.

'Nezuko! Where's Nezuko?! Nezuko.. Nezuko.. Zenitsu, Inosuke, Murata-san!' He began to panic before startling when another foreign voice spoke.

"More importantly, what're we gonna do about Tomioka?" A slender finger pointed out from a tree above and when Tanjiro looked up, he saw a figure laying in the tree.
