Kaigaku and Zenitsu

Chapter 31

Uzui jumped between buildings heading towards the Kirimise. He jumped down and looked inside the window what he saw made his eyes widen.

It was his wife Hinatsuru she was tied up with obi belts. "Hinatsuru" he whispered.

he quickly went in and slashed all the obi belts dropping his wife. He lifted her up and gave her medicine to help with the poison she drank.

"Please forgive me, I was only trying to-"

Uzui interrupted her "never mind that just rest." He said. "By the time I realized Oiran Warabihime was a demon, she was already suspicious of me. I drank some poison and tried to slip out of the house, I didn't know the belt that she gave me was being used to spy on me and to kill me. She already knew exactly what I was doing, so I wasn't able to contact you" Hinatsuru explained to him.

"Lord Tengen please leave this place and help the others. Don't bother with me I will be able to recover, you and I both know that demon is on a rampage" Hinatsuru said. "Can you promise me that you'll be okay?" He asked and Hinatsuru smiled at him and nodded.

Uzui hugged his wife "once the antidote kicks in leave Yoshiwara" Uzui said. "Understood?" He asked but Hinatsuru just cried as she slowly nodded.

Uzui quickly left and went on to find the demon.

He was searching for its prescene and heard something that made him jump over many buildings and drop to the ground listening for it.

He heard people fighting if he could focus on more carefully than he could locate them.

"Found it!" Uzui thought as he grabbed his weapons.

"Sound breathing first form:Roar"

Back with Tanjiro

Both him and the demon heard the noise.

"That infernal racket is giving me a headache. What is that noise?" The demon growled. "What is it you're up to? It sounds like it came from the Ogimoto house. That damn Hinatsuru" The demon said.

"Exactly how many of there are you?" She asked. "Four perhaps?" She said. "Who knows?" Tanjiro replied back. "Well then if you were to tell me the truth, I might be willing to spare your worthless life, we only clashed for a second and look at your sword it's already chipped" the demon laughed.

Tanjiro eyes widened as he looked at his sword she was right it was already in bad shape.

"The sword smith who made your sword must've been a real amateur" the demon taunted. "You're wrong! The sword smith who forged it is amazing, and is a brilliant sword smith" Tanjiro yelled back.

"Oh really? Than why is it chipped dumbass?" The demon asked, "it's either a bad sword smith or your just bad at your breathing technique" the demon said.

Suddenly the noise came back but in a different house.

"Over there now too? Such an obnoxious racket. I'm growing tired of it, so I'm putting an end to you now" The demon said growing more serious now as Tanjiro looked at her with fear.

Tanjiro held his katana tightly in his grip it was Haganezuka's fault it was his. He just an inadequate user no matter how hard he tries he still can't handle the water breathing technique. It's probably because it's not made for his body. Even if he keeps using it he won't ever reach to his full potential.

But even so Hinokami Kagura has been more effective more than water breathing. He feels more in tune with it but even so.

Flashback

Inosuke was laughing as him and Zenitsu sparred with their katanas.

"Hey moron, would it kill you to dial it back a little?" Zenitsu asked as Inosuke just laughed "never! My underling needs to see how much stronger I am compared to you!" Inosuke laughed. "Aniki isn't even out here!" Zenitsu yelled back.
