Chapter 22

We ran for a while till we saw a fish demon attacking a swordsmen and Muichiro sliced it.

"Oh Lord Tokito! Thank you! You cut it down in a blink of an eye!" The swordsmen said.

"Kanamori!" Kotetsu exclaimed running to the swordsmen more known now as Kanamori.

"Young Kotetsu! I'm glad you're unharmed! To be honest I thought you were already dead!" I don't think that's what you're supposed to say to a kid...

"Are you the one named Kanamori? Are you done with my sword? Give it already." Muichiro told Kanamori.

Kanamori looked at Muichiro's blade, "Oh dear! This is horribly chipped!" Kanamori exclaimed.

"That's why I came to the village." Muichiro responded.

"I see, I see, I'll get you another one!" He said.

"That was fast." Muichiro said. Kotetsu was right beside him and said, "Good huh? You should be thankful."

"Tanjiro asked me to prepare your sword, and he wanted me to understand you." Kanamori said after.

"Tanjiro... Tanjiro..." Muichiro repeated.

"So I asked who was the first swordsmith in charge of you... oh right! Haganezuka!" He started to run somewhere and we just decided to follow him.

"Good! The fish monster isn't here! I was working in that hut! There's a sword for lord Tokito inside! Take it and go quickly back to the village chief!" We went towards a small hut that Kanamori was pointing at. Muichiro suddenly pulled Kanamori back and he yelled, "ahh! That hurts!"

"It's here." Muichiro says.

Suddenly an irritating sound came from a pot hiding next to a bush, "Hyo! Very observant! Oh! Two Hashiras? Why is this hovel so important? What're you trying to hide? Hyo Hyo!" An ugly demon came out the pot his facial features were weirdly miss placed.

"Hyo! I see a familiar face!  Is that a Nakamura I see!" The demon says.

How the hell does he know me?

"I remember you! You're that little girl I saw taking care of your younger brother! You tried everything but it never worked because I made sure it wouldn't! I made sure no one was in your family when they got the illness. Not even your pathetic face." The demon said.

"I don't know what you're talking about." I said angrily. I gripped my katana tightly and my face showed one of anger.

"In the end your younger brother died because of you~ You killed him with no hesitation and didn't even realize till after."

"Yuta! I'm sorry I'm sorry! Wahhh!"

"I just wanted you to get better!"

"Why... why the fuck did you do that..." I asked looking down.

"Hyo... you see your parents stole something of mine and didn't give it back. So I made sure they paid and poisoned your entire family. But I guess it didn't work on you."

"You... you took my life away from me!" I looked up at the demon with tears coming out my eyes.

I disappeared then appeared right in front of the demon about to slice its head off but it disappears.

"Hyo... not so fast. I actually want to show an art piece of mine I created myself. It's called Death throes of the smiths!" The demon disappears behind us and another pot is next to him and comes out blooded swordsmiths their body parts are misplaced and some masks are broken.

"Lord Kongoji... Tetsuo... Kanaike... Kontaro..." Kanamori says, "Tetsuhiro..." Kotetsu says.

These people didn't deserve what happened to them. This demon is a fucking maniac!

"Right! You get it! I've made lavish and detailed use of the five swordsmiths! But I had no idea you'd be so moved! If I twist the katana like this it goes Gyah!" The demon twists a katana and people scream from the pain of it.

"What's your name?" I ask it.

"Well it's Gyokko." The demon says smiling devilishly.

"Then that's enough for you Bastard." Muichiro says going to attack the demon but it shrinks in its vase and disappears up to the roof.

Muichiro goes up to the roof and destroys the vase which angers the demon, "How dare you destroy my vase! It was a work of art! You uncultured monkey! A muscle head like you couldn't possibly appreciate my work! But that's all right too!" It says on the ground.

It moves so fast I didn't realize it was near me.

Gyokko held out a vase and out came gold fish that flew out. Why is there gold fish? There were two that both inhaled and blew out shards at the both of us.

I move away fast from it but one got my leg. It inhaled again but this time it was going towards Kotetsu and Kanamori, "wah! Young Kotetsu!"

I need to protect them!

Me and Muichiro get in front of them in time before the fish blew the shards out. It gravely hit the both of us and felt like poison was entering my body slowly paralyzing me.

"Lord Nakamura and Lord Tokito!"

"Are you two okay?" I turn to them but Muichiro responds before they can, "You're in the way go hide!"

"Ahh! Sorry lord Tokito!" Kanamori picked up Kotetsu and they both started to run off.

"Hyo Hyo Hyo! Covered in needles! You two are a laughing sight! Do you feel your arms and legs paralyzing?"

Yuta and I were outside and he suddenly fell on the ground, "Yuta are you okay?" I said worriedly.

"Y-yeah but I can't move my legs it's not letting me!" He says to me.

"Hyo Hyo! But even so you're still a Hashira!"

"Shut up." I say and attack the demon using my third form. Muichiro attacks as well with his third form as well, but when we were about to slice the demon it splashed us with water and out of no where I'm now in a water vase.

Taisho Era Secrets!:

-When Muichiro saw Kazuma get mad he was worried for her.

-Kazuma was so mad that she scrunched her hand so hard it started to bleed and she didn't like how the topic moved on so quickly.

-When Kazuma first sensed the demon she thought it felt familiar to her.
