"So, what if they commit seppuku? If you want to die, then rot to death for all I care! It's not guarantee! Not by a long shot!" Sanemi shouted at the letter that had been read off.

"Shinazugawa is right! If she kills and devours human, there's no coming back from that! It won't bring back the people who were killed!" Kyojuro shouted making Rin frown.

"I think you should take into mind that this is coming from someone who use to be a Hashira, Urokodaki knows that some would choose not to believe it but still sent the letter anyway. I believe that what he says is true even though I haven't seen what he's spoke of firsthand, but Giyuu has and I trust him." stated the arachnid Hashira giving a smile to the water Hashira beside him. 

"You three do have a point." Ubuyashiki gave a short response.

"In that case.."

"We can't guarantee that she won't attack humans. We can't prove it. That said...We also can't prove that she will attack humans. The fact that Nezuko has refrained from devouring humans for more than two years, and also that there are three people, now four risking their lives for her. To reject this notion, those who reject it must offer an even more convincing argument. Do you all have the will to do so?" Ubuyashiki asked the other Hashiras. 

"Also, there's something I'd like to relay to you, my children. Tanjiro here has met Kibutsuji." 

Hearing this made all of the hashiras look at Tanjiro, except Giyuu who continued to look forward. The others began asking questions about Kibutsuji and what happened while Sanemi began to shake Tanjiro's head about. Ubuyashiki rose a finger to his lips silencing everyone and making them look forward once more. 

"Kibutsuji has sent pursuers after Tanjiro. Though his purpose may simply be to silence him, now that Kibutsuji's given himself away for the first time, I don't want to let go. In the midst of him sending pursuers one of the demons he sent happened to be Rin's significant other who had gone missing on Rin's last mission. His significant other that now is a demon came after Rin when he was returning to the butterfly estate, Rin had to behead Yuu while dealing with his heavy injury that he had also received from Yuu." 

"Please master, I don't want people to pity me on a topic like that. It's not what you wanted to speak of.." Rin despairingly said hoping to drive the attention away from himself.

"Very well, aside from that I believe something's happening to Nezuko that Kibutsuji never saw coming. Can you try to understand?" Ubuyashiki said hopefully.

"No I don't understand, master. If it were human, I'd be okay with letting it live, but not a demon! Not after all that we the Demon Slayers have gone through in battle! Not after so many people have lost their lives! It's unacceptable!" Sanemi fumed while giving a slight bow to Ubuyashiki. The blind master nodded while letting out a "hmm". Unsheathing his sword Sanemi cut his arm on the blade and stood up, blood littering the stones where his arm hovered.

"Master! I will prove it to you myself! The sheer ugliness of a demon!" Sanemi vowed while turning to Rin as he now stood in front of him.

"Sanemi." Ubuyashiki whispered.

"Oi, Rin. Give me the box. I don't want to hurt you."

Looking up at the wind pillar Rin turned his gaze back to the ground and moved the box forward so that it sat directly at Sanemi's feet. Sitting in silence as the male began to harass the demon in the box by letting his blood drip into the hole from him stabbing it Rin listened to the scratching that came within the box. Iguro stated that it would be best for Sanemi to do his actions in the shade. While Sanemi quickly moved from in front of him to the shade of the mansions porch Rin stood up quickly and went to go stand beside Tanjiro. Watching as Sanemi flipped open the door to the box to let Nezuko rise out of it Rin looked down at Tanjiro as he tried to call for his sister.
