Chapter 29

Previously on Chapter 28

"As far as I'm concern... I'm just a human. I don't know what's going on with myself. All I know is that I have a special property in my blood. What it is... I don't have the slightest bit of idea" I said. That's all Lady Tamayo told me about myself. I don't know anything else or how it happens.

-The Leader-

Y/N P.O.V

"Don't give me that!" The scarred man exclaimed. He walks up to me and grabs my collar. He yanks me up, until my feet dangles beneath me. I wince in pain at the sudden move.

"Shinazugawa-San! That's enough!" Someone said. But I can't tell who it's coming from. "The master is about to arrive soon. Let her go!" The person said again. This time I know it's coming from Tomioka-San. He's the only one here that would stand up for us.

"You're just scared of difference..." I said, opening my eyes to look at him. "You're scared of the unknown. I can't blame you. I am too... being different from the rest of you. Even from my siblings. It terrified me. But this is how I am and I can't change it. So I just have to learn to live with it" I said.

He looks taken aback by what I said. He opens his mouth to say something back. "Oyakata-Sama has arrived" a voice said, stopping him for talking. He drops me on the ground quite harshly. I start to cough as I try to regain control of my breathing.

"Y/N... Y/N, are you okay?" Onii-Chan said, crawling over to me. I turn to look at him and nod my head. He let out a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness..." he whispered as he leans his forehead against mine. I gently wrap my arms around him, since I've broke free of the rope tying me.

I flinch when someone forcefully pulls us apart. I feel my body getting pushed down into a kneeling position. I lift my head to see a man. He have noticeable marks on his forehead. He looks pale which makes it obvious that he's sick.

I hear a thud and turn my head to see the scarred face man have pushed Onii-Chan's head to the ground. I try to go to him, but the person makes me kneel down prevents me by placing a hand on my shoulder to keep me from moving.

"Stay still... your brother's going to be fine" he said. I turn my head to see its Tomioka-San. I let out a sigh and send an angry glare at the man for hurting my brother. I turn to look forward at the leader as he starts to talk.

"I am pleased to see you in good health as well, Oyakata-Sama. I fervently pray for your continued good fortune" the scarred face said. His tone is soft and full of respect. It's completely different from the way he talked to us a while ago.

"Thank you, Sanemi..." he said. His eyes are pale white. It tells me that the leader is also blind. I just stare at him for a while. My eyes told me that he don't have much time left to live.

"If I may, Master... Before we start the Hashira Meeting, would you mind enlightening us about these swordsman, Kamado Tanjiro and Kamado Y/N, accompanied by a demon?" He said. I hold back a scoff at the way he's talking. Just a moment ago he speaks so rudely at me and Onii-Chan. But he's speaks so formally now.

"Right. I apologize for startling you all" Oyakata-Sama said. I turn my head to look at him as he smiles softly. "As for Tanjirou, Nezuko, and Y/N... I've sanctioned their situation. And I'd also like you all to accept it" he said. I blink my eyes in surprise at what he said. He knew about us... and he have already accepted our situation?

The Hashira's starts arguing, saying they refuse to agree to our situation. They still insisted that we get eliminated. I feel my chest tightens at their persistence. But I can't blame them. After all, it is clearly against the rule to be traveling with a demon when you're a demon slayer.

"The letter..." Oyakata-Sama said, turning his head a little. A girl with white hair that I recognize from the Final Selection pulls out a letter. She unfolds it and turn to face us.

"This is a letter received from a former Hashira, Urokodaki Sakonji. I shall read you an abridged version" she said. She turn her head to look at the letter to begin reading what's written in it.

Please allow Tanjiro and Y/N to be accompanied by their sister, a demon. Because of her resilient mental strength... Nezuko has not lost her human emotions. Even in a starved state, she never devoured humans, and this has held true more than two years later. Although the situation seems somewhat far-fetched, it is an indisputable fact. In the event that Nezuko does assault a human, Kamado Tanjiro, Kamado Y/N... as well as... Urokodaki Sakonji and Tomioka Giyuu will atone by commit Sepukku.

I let out a shaky breath as I listen what the letter said. I clench my hand that is on my knee. I lower my head as I look down at the ground as tears starts to stream down my cheeks. I can't believe it, Urokodaki-San and Tomioka-San are both placing themselves as collateral for our sake.

Even after the letter. They're still reluctant to agree to the condition. They're still doubtful of us, and I can't blame them because this is probably the first time they met a demon that behaves like Nee-San.

"Also, there's something I'd like to relay to you, my children. Tanjiro and Y/N here have met Kibutsuji" Oyakata-Sama said. I flinch then they turn their heads to us and start questioning us about our encounter with Kibutsuji.

Oyakata-Sama lift his finger, placing it on his lips. They instantly quiets down. "Aside from that... Y/N here seem to have a vast knowledge. She even managed to create a weapon capable of weakening the demons tremendously" he said.

I flinched when they turn their gaze on me again. "What weapon??" One of them said. I feel sweat running down the side of my head. He grabs my shoulders. "Don't just stay silent, talk!" He said, as he starts shaking me back and forth.

"Cut that out, Tengen-San! She'll explain to you but you gotta stop shaking her! You're making her dizzy!" Another voice said. I let out a sigh of relief when he actually stops. I really did feel dizzy because of his action.

I clear my throat once my dizziness have stopped. "Well, it's a UV Flash-bomb. Basically a black light" I said. They look confused by my answer. "Erm... to keep it short and simple. It's made to mimic the sunlight. Which of course, you'd know the effect the sun had on demons" I said.

"That's cool! Can I see it?!" Another said. This time it came from the guy with flame like hair. I turn my head to look at him and flinched when I realize he's right in front of my face. I back away a little from his sudden closeness.

"Erm... I don't have it anymore. I gave it to my friends and brother. I only had two with me. But I've used it all up during the last battle at Mt. Natagumo, since we were facing one of the Twelve Kizuki" I said. He let out a sigh of disappointment as he backs away from me. I let out a sigh of relief, as I finally have my personal space back. He sure is one with a huge eagerness.

Shinazugawa-San still insisted that they kill us. He stands up saying he'd show us the true face of Nee-San. He pull out his sword and makes a cut in his wrist. He let his arm hovers above Nee-San's box, letting his blood drips into it.

"The demon wouldn't come out because of the sun. Take it somewhere with shade" Iguro-San said. Shinazugawa-San excuses himself to Oyakata-Sama as he jumps inside the house. I kicks the box until it opens up. Née-San gets out of the box and stares at his wounded arm. Drool starts to drip from her chin.

Onii-Chan breaks free from Iguro-San who held him down with his elbow. "Nezuko! Don't give in!!" He yelled out. I stand up and rush forward, placing my hand on the porch's wooden floor.

"Fight it, Nee-San!" I said. She turn her head to look at me. I give her a look of encouragement. "My twin sister is a strong-willed woman. I know you won't give in" I said. She turn to look at the blood on Shinazugawa-San's arm and turn her head away.

"Nee-San!" I said, happily. In the end, the ones who disagree have no choice but to accept our situation. Thank goodness, we're still given a chance to live. Now that the problem is solved, and that the result is clear. I can finally calmed down.

My exhaustion that I've been trying to hold back finally came crashing back. My vision grows blurry. I feel my body falling to my side. I hear a distinct yell of Onii-Chan's voice as he calls out for me. That's the last thing I heard, as my surrounding turns dark.
