No one was sure what they should talk about while they waited for the next set of scenes to begin but sitting there in silence seemed just as bad.

"AH! Fight me!" Inosuke yelled before jumping to try and headbutt Tanjiro. Tanjiro quickly dodged out of the way and started to run away from Inosuke, insisting that they should fight. Nezuko, thinking that it was a game, started to run after Inosuke and Zenitsu quickly followed after the girl, a blush on his face and hearts in his eyes.

"Should we stop them?" Kanroji wondered.

"It's fine at least this way they aren't dwelling on what is happening in the scenes" Rengku chuckled. Ubuyashiki didn't say anything and so they all watched amused at the antics of the other demon slayers.

"You better be okay after this fight, Rengoku. If you aren't you better prepare yourself" Uzui turned to his friend.

"I am sure that I will be fine and even if I am not I'm sure that I won't let anyone else die" Rengoku said.

"We aren't worried about someone else's life, we're worried about your life" Kanroji frowned, tears glistening in her eyes. She didn't even want to think about her teacher being killed by a demon, she was well aware that there was a chance of it happening but that didn't mean that she wanted to think about it.

"Perhaps the demon will simply run away," Obanai scoffed. It wouldn't be the first time that a demon simply ran away when they realized that they were outmatched. Of course they never let them run very far.

"I don't think that will happen" Giyuu rejected.

"Akaza is upper moon three and from what I have seen, he is not weak. I'd even go as far as saying that he is slightly stronger than Rengoku" Himejima commented. He didn't want to look down on Rengoku's strength but he was simply stating the truth.

"He is stronger than I am indeed. However, that doesn't mean that I won't fight my hardest to win" Rengoku said. All of the Hashira's couldn't help but wonder, if they were faced with the same situation would they feel the same way. That was a stupid thought, of course they would all feel the same way! Even if they were faced with Kibutsuji Muzan himself, they would hold their heads high and try their damned best to destroy the demon in front of them.

"Which demon were we talking about again?" Muichirou asked. He remembered that they were discussing Rengoku's fight with a demon but he couldn't remember which demon it was. Surprisingly it was Genya who decided to fill in the blanks in Mist Hashira's mind. The other Hashira's decided to leave them to it, happy that Muichirou was (maybe) making friends with other people his age.

"Kanao, we're going to go look at that field of flowers. Would you like to come?" Tanjiro questioned the butterfly girl as he pointed to the field. Nezuko was tugging on his haori, wanting to go to the flowers but waiting. Kanao looked a little like she wasn't sure what to do so she grabbed her coin and flipped it. Looking at the answer she got to her feet and followed them to the flowers.

"I'm glad that Kanao seems to be getting along with them," Shinobu smiled as she watched her sister. Tamayo and Yushiro had moved to the side by themselves, talking about different medicines and what they were going to do if they got back and Kibutsuji got all this information from Akaza. They'd have to change all of their plans but maybe that wouldn't end up happening, perhaps Akaza would be able to keep the information to himself? At least they hoped he would be able to.

"Do you want to talk about anything?" Hikaru questioned as he moved to sit closer to Akaza who glanced at him.

"Why would I need to talk about anything?" Akaza scoffed. He got a look shot at him that actually made him duck his head a little. He knew what Hikaru was talking about and clicked his tongue.
