The white haired guy, upon realising he couldn't hurt Sora, took to stabbing Nezuko a few more times instead. Sora was losing her patience with every second that passed, but before she could do something, Tanjiro reacted for her. He shot up and headbutted the white guy , causing his nose to bleed. Sora had never been prouder of her only human friend.

However, before things got out of hand, two people spoke saying, "Lord Oyakata has arrived.". Sora looked up to see a black haired man coming out.

"My cute swordsmen." He spoke and Sora blinked.Was he sick?Sora wondered. This was the leader of the Demon slayer corps? And he was calling the Hashiras cute

The man walked forward and looked up at the sky,"The weather is great today." He remarked. Sora blinked again. "Welcome to the semi annual hashira meeting." He said. His voice was soothing, Sora thought. 

A hand on her arm pulled Sora down and she flinched as her knees collided with the hard ground. She looked to her right to see the guy called Tomioka who had obviously pulled her and then noticed all the other hashiras kneeling too.

" Its great to see you in good health, Lord Oyakata." the rude white guy spoke again, " I sincerely wish you good fortune and may all your hopes be fulfilled." He sounded polite so unlike minutes ago that Sora had to roll her eyes. 

" Thank you Sanemi." That was his name then.

"Forgive my bluntness." Blonde guy started and Sora snorted (she was sure she wasnt too loud), " Before we start, regarding the demon slayer, Tanjiro Kamado, bringing a demon with him, may I seek clarification?"

"The matter regarding Tanjiro, Nezuko and Sora has my approval." Lord Oyakata spoke and Sora looked up in surprise.

At this, the pink haired and the blue haired hashiras agreed to this almost immediately and the purple haired lady and Tomioka said nothing at all, but besides that, all the other Hashiras protested immediately, asking for an explanation.

Blonde guy spoke again, "Please punish Tomioka and the three other offenders." Sora stole a glance at the black haired Hashira next to her. She wasn't sure how he was related to them but she guessed that Tanjiro knew him.

The person next to Lord Oyakata then read out a letter from Urokodaki, where he had written about all three of them. Sora mentally thanked the man for taking their side, although she wasn't exactly sure how much it would help.

Sure enough, blonde guy spoke again, saying, "Thats not a guarantee at all. We don't know that they won't kill humans." Oyakata replied to him saying that he didnt know that they would kill humans either. Sora's respect for the head of the demon slayer corps was steadily increasing.

"This girl can walk in the sun." This time, it was the snake guy who spoke. "She is a major threat to us."  "She isn't to us. She has never devoured a human and she has been a demon for a long time. And being able to walk makes her a target of Muzan Kibutsuji. Hence her life is constantly in a state of danger. Besides, she has killed a decent number of demons; she will be valuable to the demon slayer corps."

"I'll prove to you how ugly a demon is." Blonde guy stood up suddenly and pushing Nezuko's box to the ground, he slit his arm and held it over the box, blood dripping below. "Hey demon, its time for your meal." he called, "Come out and eat me." A low growl escaped Sora's throat unintentionally and Tomioka threw her a warning look. She kept quiet.

"Nezuko!" Tanjiro called out desperately as blonde guy kept taunting her. "She can't come out in the sun." Sora hadn't meant to talk but she was getting so mad she felt like she was gonna flip at any time.

Blonde guy took the box to the dark, throwing a swift apology to Lord Oyakata on the way. After a while, the box door opened and Nezuko came out. Sora felt as though everything came to a standstill as all of them watched Nezuko. Her pupils were slitted and Sora could feel anger oozing out of her. She seriously hoped Nezuko wouldn't do anything, although a part of her felt that blonde guy would deserve it. "Nezuko!" Sora's eyes jumped to Tanjiro; he had somehow got out of the ropes and was kneeling against the platform, staring desperately at her sister.

After what seemed like forever, Nezuko finally turned her head away from blonde guy, her eyes shut tightly. Sora felt herself relax and a smile automatically crept into her face. "I think thats enough proof that neither Nezuko nor Sora will harm humans." Lord Oyakata has a satisfied expression on his face. "Tanjiro," He continued, "you and nezuko will fight and contribute to the cause as members of the Demon Slayer Corps." "Nezuko and I will defeat Muzan Kibutsuji!" Tanjiro said, and Sora could hear the happiness in his voice, "That's still far-fetched considering your current status." Lord Oyataka told him, "Perhaps you can say that after defeating one demon moon." Tanjiro flushed red and Sora snorted again, obviously louder than earlier since everyone turned to look at her. It was her turn to blush.

"Sora," Lord Oyataka addressed her and she looked up at him, " if you would be willing, I would like to invite you to join the Demon Slayer Corps and fight alongside your friends." Sora's mouth opened in surprise and she heard the Hashiras next to her gasp aloud. She kneeled quickly, 'I would like that. Thank you."

Finally it was decided that Tanjiro, Nezuko and Sora would go over to the purple woman's house for care (Sora still didn't know her name) where Tanjiro's other friends were too.

Then after Tanjiro begged to be allowed to headbutt blonde guy and the blue haired Hashira hit him with a rock, they were out on the way to butterfly manor.
