"Oi, get up, both of you."
You heard the voice of someone unfamiliar. It was a masculine voice. You opened your eyes slightly. The light from the sun had irritated them. When you opened them fully, you saw Tanjirou right in front of you. Red lines that resembled cuts were all over his face. That's right, you had used your powers in front of him. Your head was hurting, and you felt like throwing up. 'Why'd I do that?' you thought. Then you realized why. Tanjirou was in trouble. Some deep trouble. He must've been confused about how you could do that. Sure, you would tell him sooner or later. But, thanks to Rui, now it's sooner.
Tanjirou looked at you with wide eyes. He seemed relieved that you were awake. You wished you could heal the cuts on his face. The thing was that you were tied up with a rope. The rocky ground under you had been scratching at your knees.
The stranger had given the both of you an alarming smack on the head. "Look alive," he said. You groaned as you sat up. You went dizzy, and your urge to throw up grew.
When you looked up, you saw a group of six people right in front of you. One of them was the pretty woman from Mt. Natagumo. Another one was a man with yellow hair with red tips. His eyebrows reminded you of an owl. Next to him, was a woman with pink hair that faded into a lime green. Her cleavage was out, but it looked like she was hiding it. There was another man with silver hair and red eyes. He had sword handles coming from his back. There was a man that was taller than everyone out here. He had raven hair that spiked up, and white eyes. He looked like he was praying. The last one you noticed was a young boy. He wasn't too far from your age. He had raven hair that faded into a light blue. His face was blank, but curious. You wondered what he was thinking about.
"These are the demon slayers with a demon in tow?" the owl man asked.
"I was expecting someone more flamboyant," the one with red eyes said. "The Lunar is the girl, correct?"
"That was what the blood tests showed," the woman with the butterfly clip said. "It's quite the miracle actually."
Tanjirou looked confused about what was happening. You never really told him what a Lunar was. He must've been waiting awhile for an explanation. The thing was that you didn't want to give him one. "Wait, who are you people?" he hesitated. "And what exactly is a Lunar?" He was then smacked upside the head.
"Don't just open your mouth like that," he said. "You're in the presence of the hashiras. The nine highest ranking demon slayers in the corps."
All the while, you were scooting away from the group of people. Especially Tanjirou. You couldn't help but try and get out of explaining. 'Why am I doing this? He already knows,' you thought. You stopped your scooting, and relaxed your shoulders. You felt the urge to throw up go down, but it was still there. Your head was also hurting a lot.
The pretty woman leaned down to Tanjirou. "You will get your answers later," she said. "Right now, you are on trial at the Demon Slayer headquarters. Tanjirou Kamado, please state the crime you have committed."
"Travelling with a demon is already a horrible violation of the corps," the owl man said. "I say we behead him and the demon."
"I can be the one to do that with max flamboyance," the red eyed man said.
You perked up from what they were saying. Were they seriously saying that? Speaking of which, where was Nezuko? Where was her box? You wished that she was alright. She can just be chilling in her box. What about Zenitsu and Inosuke? Why weren't they here too? And where are they? You wondered if they were okay or not.
"What pitiful sights these children are," the white eyed man said. "I pity that they were born."
Tanjirou was looking around to find where his younger sister was. Sweat was running down his forehead. All the while, the hashiras were wondering about what to do with the both of you. However, the young boy with the blank face was looking up at the clouds. He wasn't saying anything. You wondered why he was looking.
