Change of Fate

The Calm before the Storm

Kagaya: So, you say that you went to deliver a letter, and found he committed seppuku?

He was bedridden due to his condition worsening and was speaking to Chuntaro a week after the emergency meeting. The little sparrow nodded.

Kagaya: Does Zenitsu, Zenko, Kaigaku, and Hunter know?

Chuntaro hung his head down answering the question.

Kagaya: I see. Well, there have been a large amount of disappearances in Kyoto. I beleive that the traitor may well be responsible. We'll have them take part in the mission. Now go. Relay the message.

Chntaro flies back to the Butterfly Mansion as Kagaya turns his attention to his own crow.

Kagaya: Send the word to all the Hashira, including the three retired ones.

??: Of course.

It flew off, as Kiriya enters the room.

Kagaya: What is it my son?

Kiriya: A storm's approaching father.

Kagaya: Is that so? *cough* Then... this is... a dark day.

Through the rumbling clouds of thunder, the Kasugai Crows deliver the dark message.

Outside a food stand Mitsuri was enjoying her lunch with Tamiko when her crow arrived informing them of the news. She was shocked.

Mitsuri: Why?! Why would someone do this?!

Tamiko: ...

Doma's crow flew right beside him and his family.

Doma: A demon slayer... became a demon out of his own choosing?

He said trying to maintain his anger.

Kotoha: Who would do something so horrible?

Sasaki: A backstabbing rat that's who!

Inosuke was keeping his smile on but is fatling a little.

Gyutaro: Zenko.

Ume: Kaigaku.

They said worried.

Gyokko was angry that he smashed his vace.

Gyokko: Once I get my hands on this traitor... I'll make him suffer.

Yuki's crow flew right beside her and was confused.

Yuki: A demon slayer... became a demon out of his own choice?

Zohakuten was filled with hatred.

Zohakuten: Once I find this traitor... he will feel my wrath.

Yune was angry.

Yune: Those who turn into a demon freely, shouldn't receive any mercy!

Hakuji gritted his teeth and destroyed the training dummer furiously with his fist.

His wife Koyuki was watching.

She was a fair-skinned young lady with large, rounded pink eyes with white pupils shaped as flowers. She was of short stature and possessed a slim frame. She had black hair which was always tied into a large bun fastened with a hairpin and decorated with a Kushi and three snowflake hairpins. She wore a circle-patterned, pink kimono that faded into a snowflake pattern tied with an obi.
