Chapter 5 - Harsh Reality

Hello lovelies! As you could see by the last chapter, the story will slowly be getting more and more interesting. I wanted to let you guys know beforehand to avoid confusion that this will be following that alternate universe where the hashira are all a part of a secret organization in modern time to bring down Muzan, but I will be mixing that story up just a bit to make it 'different.'

So sorry for the wait, I ran into a writer's block yesterday and had no interest in writing anything, but I am back.

Anyways, Enjoy!

(Y/n) Pov:

"Welcome back my children" the strange voice called. I looked forward and saw a strange looking man. His face was halfly covered in a pink scar looking substance, his eyes white as snow, giving me the impression that he was blind. His long black hair reaching to about his shoulders acted as a curtain to his face. He wore a fancy suit as he stared at the five of us.

I noticed that all four of the men beside me were kneeling down to the man in front of us, not wanting to be rude, I quickly followed their lead and bowed to the man in front of us.

"Rise my children, though, may I ask who this newcomer is?" the man asked.

"Master! It is great to see you in good health, as for the newcomer, her name is (L/n) (Y/n), she helped us when it came to getting used to this strange world" Kyojuro responded. The man simply smiled as he looked in my direction.

"Thank you, Miss (L/n), for helping my children, we are indeed grateful for your hospitality" he bowed slightly. "My name is Kagaya Ubuyashiki, but you can call me Oyakata-sama".

"It was my pleasure to be of service to you sir" I bowed down once more. I knew of the importance that this guy meant to the demon slayers, so I told myself to treat him with as much respect as the regular demon slayers do.

"Now, I would like to talk to Uzui, Rengoku, and Tomioka alone for a little while. Shinazugawa, can you show our guest to a comfortable room until our discussion is over?" Oyakata-sama asked, turning to Sanemi's direction.

"Yes master!" Sanemi stated as he stood up. He walked over to me and grabbed my arm, dragging me out of the room. I could see the trio's eyes as they followed mine and Sanemi's retreating forms. The door closed behind us as Sanemi continued to drag me down the hallway and turn into a room that was a few doors down. The room we walked into looked to be some kind of lounge area with a few sofas and a small table in the middle. There seemed to be a coffee bar just to the right of the room as you walked in.

"Just stay here until those three idiots are done" Sanemi spoke as he shut the door. I looked around and decided that I would just sit down and wait for the guys to be done with their meeting.

It took about an hour for the door to open and Kyojuro popped his head in, he spotted my form as he smiled. I was actually dozing off, so my head was kind of just dangling there. Kyojuro walked into the room and up to my half-sleeping form.

"(Y/n), wake up! Our meeting is done, and we need to speak to you" Kyojuro said as I slowly sat up straight. I stretched my arms over my head, and I felt the satisfying 'pop' of some of my joints.

"What is it that you wanted to tell me about Kyojuro?" I asked in a sleepy voice, still trying to wake up completely.

"Well, come with me, so you, me, Tengen, and Giyuu can talk with the master" Kyojuro stated as he held out his hand for me to take. I very willingly took it as he pulled me up off the sofa and guided me to the room we were in before. I noticed as we were walking that Kyojuro was still holding my hand, but die to my sleepiness, I didn't quite register it.

Kyojuro softly opened the door and led me inside where Tengen, Giyuu, and Oyakata-sama were seated and seemed to be talking. Their conversations ceased as we entered the room.

"Welcome back (Y/n), there are some important matters I would like to discuss with you" Oyakata-samma stated as he turned in my direction. "It seems that you are well educated about the universe that we come from, however, people must not know of our existence in the real world. It was not only us who somehow found ourselves here, Kibutuji had also managed to squeeze his way into this world along with his demons, they not only kill to feast on humans, but some are simply looking for power and wealth, which is what Kibutuji is after primarily. He has apparently conquered the sun in this universe and can walk freely, meaning that he does not really need humans to devour to gain strength" Oyakata-sama paused, letting me intake the information. "He now runs a secret underground business from a capital that only his lackeys know of, we are on the hunt to find him and bring him down, that is where you come into play. You see, now that you have seen our base and whatnot, we cannot allow Kibutsuji to find you, he has great reading skills and can decipher soft minds, due to the fact that you are not trained, your mind would be easy for his knowledge to break through and manipulate, giving away all valuable information about us to him, where he could successfully bring an end to the only people trying to bring him down" Oyakata-sama finished as he took a sip of his tea that I didn't even notice he had. I was shocked to say the least, first that almost everyone from the demon slayer universe is now in 'my dimension', and 'now demons exist in modern day, STILL FEAST ON HUMANS, and Kibutisuji can now conquer the sun?!' I sat down and put a hand against my head as I tried to digest this new information.

"I understand the complexity of the situation you must be going through right now, but I must also tell you that Uzui, Rengoku, and Giyuu will be staying here for a while, they will be training in order to become better adapted to modern day weapons and fighting styles, they are well trained already, but this new environment brings forward new obstacles that they must learn to face. I will have one of my people to take you back to your home, due to the sole information you now have, I must advise that you get a better security system, Kibutsuki will stop at nothing to bring this organization down, and if any information slips out about us, we will all be doomed" Oyakata-sama stated rather seriously.

"Y- Yes sir, I understand" I stated quietly as I slowly wrapped my head around all of this.

"Take some time to calm yourself down and understand the situation, and once you are ready I would advise you to either train in martial arts or carry around a weapon with you incase anything were to happen" Oyakata-sama paused, "Shinzugawa, will you kindly take Miss (Y/n) back to her home and watch for a couple hours to make sure neither of you were followed".

Sanemi just basically appeared in the corner of the room and nodded his head as he walked to my form. He firmly grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the room.

"Until we meet again Miss (Y/n)" Oyakata-sama said, waving goodbye. My eyes trailed over to the trio as they simply gave me kind smiles as the door soon shut in my face.

Sanemi led me to a black Mercedes outside and opened the door for me to hop in. I climbed into the passenger seat and buckled my seat belt. Sanemi soon got in on his side and handed me his phone.

"Type in your address" he stated bluntly.

I took the phone and typed it in, handing it back to him. He grabbed the phone and looked at it for a second, then started the car and drove off. The car ride was silent as I sat there looking out of the window as the buildings passed by us. Everything was happening so fast that I didn't know how to react. I felt warm tears gather at the corners of my eyes as they slowly got too heavy and slid down my cheeks.
