The Ocean Hashira (Demon Slayer Fanfiction)

Chapter 3 The Master Of The Mansion

The Hashira and Kagaya Ubuyashiki waited in anticipation for what was going to happen next as Sanemi Shinazugawa and Nezuko Kamado were staring at each other. Nezuko was biting down on her Bambo muzzle With such force water was leaking out And the muzzle cracked a bit under the intense pressure. Kaito was holding Tanjiro so that he wouldn't do something that would get him hurt or in trouble.

Sanemi smiled widely at Nezuko Kamado, antagonizing her to attack him, "What's the matter Demon?. Come on!, You know you want It". Everyone was staring at the scene waiting for Nezuko to do something, Tanjiro was trying to get out of Kaito's gentle but firm hold on him to no avail. Kaito looked at Tanjiro In sympathy, "Tanjiro you must believe In Nezuko", Tanjiro looked at Kaito's face which had a gentle but assuring smile.

Tanjiro was surprised by his comforting words, 'Why is he being so kind to me ?'. Tanjiro thought. Back In the mansion Nezuko was struggling trying her best to maintain her self control, Kaito looked at Nezuko, 'I have faith In you and your brother, be strong Nezuko Kamado', Kaito thought. Due to this he let his grip on Tanjiro loose which was enough for him to break his binding's and go to the edge of the open mansion.

Kaito looked at Tanjiro, 'Oh dear', he thought as Tanjiro looked at Nezuko and yelled her name aloud, this seemed to make Nezuko stop for a second and seemed to be lost In her thoughts. She then came to In the real world and to Everyone's surprise she turned her head away from his injured arm In disgust and pure resistance. Kaito smiled at Nezuko and muttered to himself, 'I knew you could do It Nezuko, I'm proud that you proved yourself'.

Kanae and Shinobu looked at Kaito In surprise at his words, but then smiled at him. Kagaya looked In Sanemi and Nezuko's direction for a second then looked In the direction of his daughter on his right, "What just happened ?", the daughter looked at the scene. "The Demon turned her head away In disgust. Although she'd been stabbed three times by Shinazugawa, and despite the flaunting of his blood in her face, She restrained herself".

Shinazugawa and the other Hashira looked shocked, at Nezuko's refusing of biting him. Kagaya looked In the direction of the Hashira, "So now, It's been proven that Nezuko won't attack humans right ?". Tanjiro was relieved at his sister's resilience and will power, Kagaya then spoke to Tanjiro, "Tanjiro...I'm sure that even after this, there are some who can't accept Nezuko. You must prove to them starting now. That you and Nezuko can fight as Demon Slayers. That you can be useful".

Tanjiro looked at Kagaya In shock, after a second he quickly bowed on the ground, there was a state of silence until Kagaya spoke once more, "Go out and defeat a Twelve Kizuki. Do that, and you'll be accepted by all and It will give more weight to your words. Tanjiro then looked at Kagaya and proclaimed with determination, "I...Nezuko and I will defeat Muzan Kibutsuji !. Nezuko and I will do It for sure!".

Kaito smiled at Tanjiro's decoration and bold claim, Kagaya seemed amused at Tanjiro's answer. "You're ill equipped to do so right now, Tanjiro. Let's start by defeating a Twelve Kizuki, all right ?". Kaito giggled a bit when he saw Tanjiro get red faced, which caught the attention of the other Hashira who looked at kaito giggling to himself. Tanjiro feeling embarrassed at his own statement and Kagaya's as well.

"Yes, Sir!", Then some of the other Hashira laughed like Mitsuri, Shinobu, and Kanae laughing alongside Kaito. Kagaya then continued, "After training themselves to death, they have defied death, and have defeated members of the Twelve Kizuki. A good attitude to have. That's why the Hashira recessive respect and professional treatment. So Tanjiro, mind your manners when you speak".

Sitting up straight Tanjiro regaining his composure, "Y-Yes, Sir!", Kagaya looked at Sanemi's direction, "One more thing, Sanemi, Obanai. Don't torture the younger one's too much". Obanai bowed his head, "As you wish", Sanemi then bowed to Kagaya, "As you wish". Kagaya then declared, "Tanjiro, we have concluded our business with you. You may step back". Kanae then raised her hand.
