Change of Fate (Remake)

Violent Entertainment

It was morning, but something was completely off. One of the staff of the Kyogoku was missing, and it was their newest workers.

??: Missing?

??: Yes. Her name was Kanao, the new girl with the butterfly hairpin. After she was knocked out, we brought her back to the room to sleep. Next thing we know, she disappeared. Zenko too? Should I search the house for them?

??: Unnecessary. I guess one punishment is good enough for them to commit Ashinuke.

??: Master you can't mean that!

??: Just get out! I do not ever want Kanao and Zenko's name to be mention again under any circumstances! Spread that order across the entire house! I can't let anything upset Orian Warabihime. And that includes anyone who gets on her bad side. Mainly Kanao, Zenko, Hinatsuru, and Omitsu...

Elsewhere, on the rooftops, Tanjiro, Nezuko, Muichiro, Yuichiro, Zenitsu, Kendo, Inosuke, Ume, Rui, Mizuki, Enmu, and Genya were meeting up to discuss the information that they gathered.

Zenitsu: Ashinuke?

He repeated after learning what Tanjiro and Nezuko have said.

Nezuko: Yes.

Genya: That would be the perfect cover. If you guys didn't get into contact with Uzui's wives, then it's possible the demon saw through their cover.

He looks at Tanjiro and glares at him with jealousy.

Mizuki: There was one at our house.

But the others were finding it hard to believe her, until Kendo started to get a little angry.

Kendo: You don't? THERE IS ONE!! WE'RE NOT LYING!!

She began to pout.

Tanjiro: Yeah. I believe you.

He said with hesitation.

Kendo: NO YOU DON'T!

Zenitsu: Let's just wait for Uzui, Gyutaro, Sasaki, Zenko, and Kanao to arrive then we can tell them everything we know.

Kendo: BUT WE KNOW WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!! AND NONE OF YOU ARE BELIEVING US!!!

??: Kanao and Zenko aren't coming.

They all look to see Tengen, Gyutaro, and Sasaski looking over Yoshiwara with a face of failure.

Zenitsu: What do you mean Kanao and Zenko's not coming?

Tengen: I made a big mistake bringing you all out here. I wanted to save my wives, but that led me to make terrible choices. And because of that, two of our own is now missing. I haven't been able to contact her since last night. Kamado's sister, Tokito's brother, and Namikina, leave the district. If there's an Upper Rank here, then you're no match for it. The mission will consist of me, Zenitsu, the Hashibira siblings, Ayaki, Kurosava, Fujimori, Shinazugawa, Tanjiro, and Muichiro.

Nezuko: But we fought against Upper One and survived!

Gyutaro: That's all the more reason why you can't beat an Upper Rank.

Sasaki: The Mugen Train mission was proof enough you can't last an hour against Muzan Kibutsuji's most powerful demons.

They look back at their comrades.

Tengen: There's no shame in running away. You survived to fight another day. That's victory. I won't let you squander this chance.

They swiftly vanish from the group.
