"Why am I following you again?"

"Because I requested you to."

"More like 'forced' me to"

"Stop whining, we are nearly here."

"You've been saying that since the last three days."

"I thought we took enough breaks in between."

"Enough for someone like you. Definitely not enough for a child like me Mr Swordsman."

"Just shut up."

"I won't, unless you tell me where exactly you are taking me."

"I won't bite such an obvious bait. You will know it when you reach there. We are very close to it."

"Then I will continue to ask questions."

"I refuse to answer them then."

"More like you don't know an answer to them."

"Do you take me for an idiot? Of course, I know where I'm taking you."

"Then why hide it from me? You must be unpopular among children."

"That's enough, just shut up. We are headed towards the headquarters of demon slayers."

Ayanokouji sighed, too easy to get answers from him.

"I would've preferred to visit the city and to live a peaceful life there."

"Stop fooling yourself. Those born with power must burden themselves with the responsibilities which come with it forever. A peaceful life suits a hermit, not a warrior"

"I would rather be the strongest hermit and live, rather than be the strongest warrior and die in a useless war." Ayanokouji said in a matter of fact tone.

"You like to speak nonsense. Unfortunately for you, we have reached our destination."

In front of them stood an old fashioned house, like ones during Taisho Era. The house was quite majestic on first sight. Ayanokouji identified the architecture as he had read about it in books.

"Now that we have reached your destination, would you be kind enough to tell me what message you sent with the crow?"

"You'll know soon enough if you be patient."

"Patience isn't being pushed over by a creepy guy."

Giyu looked at Ayanokouji with anger surging through his brain. Yeah, there was only one person patient enough to control him.

Giyu led Ayanokouji inside the doors to an open area. There sitting were 10 people. Initially shocked at seeing a child behind Giyu, they took their attention back to the chat they were having. A woman in haori greeted them,

"Hey Giyu San, How are you doing? And what is this adorable child doing with you."

Giyu just scoffed while looking at Ayanokouji, taking a place aside from all the people gathered there. Ayanokouji on cue, stood beside him, while trying his best to ignore the stares of two people near him. One even had a snake coiled around his neck. The woman continued to look at Ayanokouji in curiosity.

Ayanokouji sighed; this was far from the peaceful life he had envisioned for himself.

Suddenly a short woman, wearing a kimono stepped outside the house,

"Ubuyashiki Sama will precede over the emergency Hashira meeting called by the water Hashira Giyu Tomioka now."

Suddenly Ayanokouji felt his head being forced down on ground as if to kneel. That hand was Giyu's who himself had his head knelt.
