Even the most devoted followers question their leader, when a certain time comes. It's something akin to a rule-the situation is almost meant to happen, in all cases.

However, it is entirely up to the followers to decide if they will defy.

Oyakata-sama's word is law. No hunter has yet decided to go against it. There is no reason for them to do so.

But even so, with his recent judgment, there is room for doubt.

'I have given my approval to Tanjirō and Nezuko. I want everyone here to accept them.'

At first, silence is the only response he's met with. A plethora of widened eyes and tens stances. Soon enough, responses are born. Some opposing, some consenting.

(Y/n) says nothing, but their answer is already clear.

Promises of an apology in the form of ending lives mean nothing to them. They didn't need a reason to abide.

They lost their interest. No words reach them. That is, until one wretched name is spoken.

Kibutsuji Muzan.

Blooming intrigue of the boy's situation is expressed through change in posture –they briefly lean forward, as if to inspect the boy closer. Eyebrows arched in the slightest. Eyes -unusually vibrant with interest.

'What did he look like?! His abilities?! Where is he?!'

'Did you fight?'

'What was Kibustuji doing?!'

'Have the headquarters been located?!'

'Hey, answer!'

'Shut up, I asked him first!'

The onslaught of questions is ended by Oyakata-sama's simple gesture. Everyone returns to their previous positions, willing to listen to his explanation.

Of course, it's Sanemi who can't stand still. Still stubborn –ruthless, even more. The wooden box, which was taken away by a Kakushi, is now within his grasp.

He takes it upon himself to prove the monstrosity of the demon within it. A foolish task.

Why is he going to such lengths? There is no need for this. Oyakata-sama already made his decision.

Fates work in the favor of Kamado siblings, it seemed. Nezuko doesn't waver under the smell of blood.

Kochou's orders of taking Tanjirō to the Butterfly Estate brings all of the Kakushi to their feet. They are a flurry of movements as they carry the young man ; but he is still persistent in his advances –attempting to butt heads (quite literally) with Sanemi again results in him interrupting Oyakata-sama. Utterly unacceptable. It earns him a dark glare from (L/n) and a few precisely thrown pebbles from Tokitou.
