Characters react to: Demon Slayer Dawn of the Sun

Chapter 42: Tears and anger, lots of tears and anger

Everyone got up to stretch and take a break, glad that they could actually have a break without having to worry about their future selves being in the middle of a fight.

"You. Come with me," Sanemi glared as he pointed to Genya before starting to walk away. Genya looked a little shocked before he got to his feet and hurried after his brother.

"Um, should we be worried about that?" Zenitsu wondered. They had all noticed the tension around Genya and Sanemi so now that they were going away from the group to talk... Well they could only hope that it wouldn't end in a fight.

"It's fine... Well it might be.... You know maybe I'll just go and supervise," Hikaru decided as he got to his feet as he remembered something.

"I will come as well," Himejima announced and Hikaru nodded. Out of everyone here, other than Ubuyashiki, Hikaru and Himejima were the ones that knew what was going on between the brothers. Sanemi had told Hikaru over the years that they had known each other and Genya had slowly opened up and told Himejima while training under him.

"While they are speaking, we should figure out how we are going to send blood samples to Tamayo and Yushiro," Shinobu said and they turned to her.

"Chachamaru will be fine to pick up the samples and bring them to us," Yushiro huffed. They couldn't take the chance of having a crow or something bearing messages continuously seeking them out when they were hiding from Kibutsuji.

"I am sure that he is a good kitty and can do his job," Kanroji smiled just thinking of the adorable kitty cat.

"However it isn't practical if we are all going to be helping to collect demon blood. No cat can be in more than one place at a time," Shinobu pointed out.

"All?" Tamayo looked shocked as well as hopeful.

"You are trying to create a medicine to turn demons back into humans, as demon slayers who are fighting to  protect humans and stop demons, it only feels right that we should help out," Ubuyashiki said. Anyone else would have felt reassured by this but Tamayo on the other hand narrowed her eyes.

"What changed?" Tamayo asked and they looked at her confused.

"I am not sure what you mean?" Ubuyashiki admitted freely. Tamayo knew that the scenes would probably explain what she was about to say but she decided that she would reveal some of it anyway so they could understand her hesitation.

"In the past when I was freed from Kibutsuji's control, it was because of a demon slayer attacking Kibutsuji that I managed to get free and instead of killing me like I thought he would, he let me go. I promised him that I would create something to turn demons back into humans no matter how long it took me. He had no idea if I would ever succeed but he still trusted me. The demon slayers back then however declared him a traitor and banished him from the corp so tell me what changed?" Tamayo explained. She didn't say his name, nor did she tell them that he was the only reason that the corps existed in the first place, if they were going to find that out it would be because of the scenes.

"I am not sure of who you speak of because a lot of our knowledge has been lost through the years and because of that I can't speak for my ancestors and their actions. All I can do is speak for my own actions and decisions, and I believe if we work with you then we have a better chance of defeating Kibutsuji and saving as many people as we can," Ubuyashiki told her and Tamayo nodded. She could tell he was being sincere however there was just one problem.

"Make up your mind and choose one or the other," Akaza scoffed.

"What do you mean?" Obanai hissed, looking like he wished to have his sword so that he could attack Akaza for daring to talk to Ubuyashiki.
