Whose Side Are You On?

When the word deal crossed Tamayo's mind, she surely doesn't expect the ringleader of the biggest crime syndicate in Japan as of right now to be here in the flesh. Moreover, with a Kasugai Crow. She knew exactly that Kasugai Crow is used by the Demon Slayer Corps to aid them in giving missions, scouting and delivering messages. 

I guess they are that desperate, allying with someone like him. She never thought that the Corps would ally themselves with a devil like him. Desperate times called for desperate measures, she suppose. A man of a caliber like Joker has connections all throughout Tokyo, making him one of the biggest informant in the whole Japan.

She heard stories of him before. A man who appeared out of nowhere, rallying followers and taking down gangs with ease. When his name first became the talk of the town, he was known for his brutality upon his enemies and foes alike. Burning them and hanging their bodies on the walkway to serve as a warning against those who mess with them.

The authorities pretty much turn a blind eye on his deeds out of fear and being bribed by Joker. No one had ever seen his face before, as he preferred to be anonymous. Some say that he's an old Yakuza that returned after being retired while other speculate that he didn't exist at all. 

Out of all of those baseless rumors, Tamayo never expected the Joker to be none other than a child that looks like he's 17-18 years old. He is ridiculously tall, which Tamayo never knew that a 17 year old boy could be that tall.  A child in front of her that is exerting so much pressure and intimidating aura. Now she understood that the kid that is sitting opposite of her is no ordinary.

Though she would never expect that the man himself would be on her door, accurately on her window earlier. She was caught off guard by his appearance out of nowhere. In order to not get ambushed just like what had just happen with Arrow Demon and Temari Demo, she set up traps that would trigger and alert her and Yushiro of an intruder on their land. But none of the traps didn't trigger at all. She assumed that the man was skilled enough to do avoid all of those traps.

"We're here in peace. Please, there's no point in fighting." The Crow spoke. Trying to calm the tension between the two sides. Particularly Tamayo who is really felt threatened by Doflamingo's presence.

"Then why are the biggest crime lord in Japan is doing here in the flesh alongside the representative of the master of Demon Slayer Corps doing here?" She asked why if they're here to negotiate, what's the reason for Joker to be here. 

"He's a Hashira for our Demon Slayer Corps." Tamayo's eyes widened hearing that. The man in front of her is a Hashira. That changed everything. A Hashira is worth at least dozens of demon slayers. She needs to be careful.

"Honorary Hashira, if you will." Doflamingo corrected.

"There's no need to be alarmed. I've no intentions of fighting you.....not yet at least. We came here for a deal" With his everlasting smile, he reassured that he has no intentions in fighting her, at least for the time being. She needs to play her cards well. 

"What deal?" She raised her eyebrows. She's planning to learn what kind of plan that the Corps is brewing to the point that they sent a monster on her doorstep. She's trying to stall enough time as possible. Since they're not here to fight, she relaxed her posture. She lets out a small sigh.

"What's with that look on your face?" Doflamingo asked her since he's looking at him with a gaze full of curiosity and suspicion, but at the same time he could read her expression that she's really worried and scared too.

"Don't be like that.......cheer up a little!" With a smile, Doflamingo told Tamayo that it's all would just be fine. Of course its easy, coming from a guy who's full of evil and bloodlust. Tamayo can't even differentiate whether he's a demon or a human.
