Do Over

The Training Begins

"A couple more days ... four more days... no ... " Giyuu kept pacing around the room holding his head. "Jeez Giyuu calm down we can do it although don't you think telling-" "No Sabito not happening it's better if things go as they should except with a few backup plans me and Oyakata-sama have come up with ... if it works, I think it's better if they never know what happened to them in the previous battle," He said sighing. "We managed to save Rengoku without telling him so we can try with the others," Giyuu said hopeful while Sabito just looked at his friend worried. "Giyuu please don't try to do things on your own you know me, the poison lady, and scar dude can help you right?" Giyuu gave a confused look. "You mean Shinazugawa and Kocho is it? .....I know Sabito but they are already going through too much right now. They don't even know when the attack takes place..." Sabito sighed. "What? I want them to be going on about the training camp and enjoy with their family without having to worry too much." Sabito understood his friend but then he wanted that for him too.
Was is it really worth it for him to come back to the past just to take on this burden? Future him was happy in the end he did find his happiness so why..."...got it Giyuu but you should do the same and spend some time with me and Mokomo or like go train those demon slayers," Sabito said pushing away his friend to the front door. "You should train too you know," Giyuu said chuckling and then bidding his friend goodbye.

"Is he gone yet?" Mokomo asked coming out of her room. "Mhmm stupid Giyuu never asking for help even when he really needs it," Sabito said crossing his arms and sitting down. Then suddenly the door opened and two figures entered. "What the fuck is this letter!?" Sanemi said while proceeding slamming it on the table. Mokomo covered her ear. "Calm down wind hashira," She tried to make the white hair guy settle down so they could start their meeting. "I would like some answers too ... I did find this letter rather offensive though," Shinobu said annoyed.

Sabito had sent a letter to both pillars regarding the final battle and Giyuu except that he forgot their names.... So through the letter, he would end up calling them by weird nicknames he could come up with. "Well sorry about that ... uh insect hashira and and wind hashira. The thing is we need help...

"100 more swings now!" The demon slayers groaned. It hadn't even been a couple of minutes before the hashira came in but he had already started. It was like pure torture for them every hashira they advanced to the harder it got... "Come on guys you need to ... Tanjiro your here already.." Giyuu said surprised. "Hai! Giyuu-san I'm here for the training I'm very sorry about being late so I'll take any punishment you give me," He said bowing down while Giyuu gave a slight smile. "Right let's begin your training and for the punishment, you shall accompany me for a soba eating contest later," He said and then went back to the others leaving Tanjiro absolutely puzzled how him treating Tanjiro to a meal was a punishment at all.

It was decided a few weeks back that now since Nezuko could conquer the sun it was for sure that the demon king would come after her and the final battle was soon. "Kibutsuji has probably ordered all the demons back at the infin- their lair since there has been no sighting so we must be alert hence we hashiras are providing training for everyone," Giyuu said while taking rounds around the slayers and supervising.
Now that the hashira's number was higher and they had more skilled slayers like Sabito and Mokomo Giyuu thought they had a good chance of winning. Upper 2 was defeated so only needed to take care of upper 1, 3, and 6 which Zenitsu could manage now he just needed to figure out who goes which direction should he go with Tanjiro against Akaza since he battled last time and he probably got a bit better and knows the moves or is Rengoku a better choice since he held Akaza back till sunrise.

"Alright break, you guys can relax for a few minutes we'll start again soon," The demon slayers slowly collapsed to the floor happy to get the break or went to fetch water for themselves. Everyone was extremely tired and really wanted to go home.
Tanjiro and Giyuu in that time just caught up. It had been a while since he had one-on-one time with that boy and it was always nice to talk to him. He was really gonna protect him this time and not let him become a demon again .. never.

"Are you sure it's going to work?" Sabito asked nervous. The four had spent a lot of time thinking of ways to confront the war. It wasn't the best strategy that they came up with but it was something and if it worked the whole battle would be in their favour. "Of course, Tamayo-san and I have spent a lot of time on these it should work," Shinobu said proud of her work.
She and the demon doctor were working on poisons to use on the demon king to slow him down in any way possible. "tch .. I don't trust that demon," Sanemi crossed his arms and looked away. "You don't trust any demon," Mokomo replied making Sanemi glare at her while she just retreated slowly. Better not make the hashira angry she thought.

"And what about Giyuu..." "I don't care if he wants to act like an ass and do everything on his own let him," Sanemi said annoyed. Most of the hashira's didn't have time to talk to each other except when they had those practice matches in which two hashira just have a small match to find out their weakness and strength and work on it. Last time when Sanemi matched with Giyuu they got into a huge argument about something.
"Alright it isn't working Mokomo i can't do this i really wanted to help giyuu but these two idiots..." Sabito said sighing.

"EMERGENCY SUMMONS!! ..... EMERGENCY SUMMONS!! .. AN ATTACK ON UBAYASHIKI MANSION! AN ATTACK ON UBAYASHIKI MANSION!"
