An interesting dilemma for a 17-year-old Giyu has approached the young man as he now has to think of the best course of action. After saving a little girl's life after her parents died to a demon, how do you take action in such a situation? Do you l...
Tazraden opened his eyes, feeling the warmth of hell radiating on his back "Hey, Ototo. What are you doing just standing there? Oniisan made dinner for us. Come on, you're gonna get your stuffed bear dirty, and I'm gonna have to clean it again" the girl said, looking down on Tazraden. "Sorry, Oneechan I'm...Yaiko?" Tazraden looked up, seeing Exeller and Yaiko with him in his childhood home.
"Ototo, Yuime, rub your eyes. We're not demons anymore, we're back to normal" Yuime rubbed his eyes, seeing Kusho's family by a shrine before looking back at his older siblings. "Yami? Ley?" Yuime asked, his vision showing his siblings' true appearance.

"Yes Yuime, come here Ototo" Yami held his arms out "Oniichan, Oneechan" Yuime hugged Yami and Ley, crying as he did so.

"Don't cry Ototo, I don't like seeing my six-year-old Ototo's tears" Ley wiped Yuime's tears, smiling at him. "Ley, he's six. Let him cry this one time" Yami scolded "Oniichan, You didn't let me!" Ley pouted. "You're ten, that and I didn't want to deal with it on my own" Yami replied "You're fifteen, you should let me do things Oniichan"Ley retorted, making Yuime laugh.
"Nice to see that you three children are still as liveful as the day I had to keep you three from dying" Yami, Ley, and Yuime turned around, seeing Kusho go through the process of transforming back into his human form.

"And now, it's all over" Kusho fell to a knee, breathing heavily. "Honey, stand up. Let mommy see your eyes again" Asano said. Kusho stood up, towering over his adoptive mother, showing her his demonic black and red eyes.
"So, you were just a tall fucker, eh?" Yami laughed "Language, not around the children!" Gyia punched the back of Yami's head. "Last time I saw you like this, you were waist high Kusho" Somber said "And I was stronger, and I still am" Kusho retorted. "Kusho, Somber you two aren't going to argue the moment you both are permanently with each other" Kenzo pulled both of their ears. "Yeah, sorry dad" Kusho and Somber said, trying to break out of Kenzo's hold. "Come on boys, it's time for us to go" Asano said.
As the eight walked to the entrance of heaven, Kusho stopped. Kusho turned around, making his way to hell. "Kusho, where are you going?" Yami turned around, narrowing his eyes. "I'm going where I belong, hell" Kusho answered.
"What do you mean? You belong with us, little brother" Gyia said "No, I don't. I'm the only American here, and I'm the reason everyone in here with me is here" Kusho stated. "Kusho, you are not going to just be some outcast. You will not be some angel born in hell, Karito!" Kenzo yelled. "I won't be, I'll be the watcher of hell, someone needs to ensure Muzan stays down there with no hope of coming back" Kusho retorted.
"Then, we'll come with you" Somber and Yami stated "What?" Kusho was taken aback, his eyes widening in surprise. "We were just as bad, if not worse when we were demons. I had disintegrated every person that challenged me" Somber said "And I slowly killed lone survivors, forcing them to experience the last bit of dread they could muster before killing them" Yami added.
"No, that doesn't matter. You were pardoned and-" Kusho was cut off "And you weren't? If you weren't pardoned, then how were we?" Ley narrowed her eyes, crossing her arms as she scoffed. "Because I've unpardoned myself, I don't belong there" Kusho answered "Then how do we?" Yuime asked. "Because I'm-" Kusho was cut off again "Honey, if you want to go to hell that's fine. But we'll be with you, as either we all go to heaven or we all go to hell. There will be no in-between" Asano smiled, hugging Kusho.
Kusho began to tear up in the embrace, realizing that he didn't need to do things on his own anymore. "Okay Mom, I'll go with all of you. I'll join you up in heaven" Kusho smiled, leaving the embrace.
Kusho walked away from Asano, going up the path to heaven followed by everyone else. I'll see you here sometime Tomioka, thanks for being a friend. Kusho closed his eyes, feeling his sins leave him as he walked into heaven.
