< Nero POV >

It's been two years since I became the dark pillar . Two years of killing demon after demon after demon. During these two years , I never ran into those unique demons nor the man in black or white for that matter. I finally received my Crow and a Nichirin blade , the crow's name was Cronus I read from a book that I bought from a foreigner that the name Kronos was the name of a thing called Titan who reigned over Time after killing his father Uranus. He comes and informs me about the mission Kagaya has given me. As for my Nichirin blade , a man named Hotaru Haganezuka forged it . When I met him at first I was surprised by him wearing a mask, he began explaining the details of the sword he made . " Given how you come to wield Yamato, this blade would be in a sense useless to you since Yamato can't break. " he pointed out as he hands me the sword. As I unwrapped the sword I took notice of the guard . it had a double layered gear looking guard, both spin freely.

 However When i pulled the sword out of its sheath, I gripped the handle of the sword with both hands . The blade's color soon began to change, it went from a dull grey to a Navy Blue . I like the blue coloring but what caught us both off guard was that only the bladed edge was changed . The other portion remained the same , Hotaru didn't know what to make of this . He then started going on about wanting a sword that could turn Crimson Red , I stopped listening after a while not long after he left to return home to his village. Due to what happened with a demon finding me at Kagaya's home, He and his Family were safely relocated , he gave me his old home due to me being a Hashira now , I have a home to come back to every time I go out on a mission. A Lot has happened with others too , Kanae became a Pillar Now The Flower Hashira her little sister Shinobu joined the demon slayer corps and was automatically granted the position of Tsuguko to Kanae. We were spared here and there against each other , I mostly won due to speed . Being quicker than most I finally mastered Dark Breathing, I created 2 breathing techniques when I started , just recently I have Created 8 more in the following months .In total I now have 10 forms at my disposal. The other Hashira's are decent to work with ... well to an extent. Kyojuro was always to optimistic , Sanemi just plain hates me , Uzui is a shinobi ,but I thought they were all stealth and not ' Flamboyant ' , Giyuu a quiet one he is , Iguro a guy with a snake .However Over time, I begun to trust these guys with my back whenever we ever go on a joint mission. Kanae was given a mansion of her own , it would seem all the Hashiras have homes in different regions. However, Oyakata-Sama's home was always nearby when he summoned us. Recently I haven't received a mission in a couple weeks , this worried me greatly. "CAWW !" I looked over at the roof and found Cronos perched up there. " Hashira meeting it is Urgent ! " just as I was about to nod he got louder " HURRY UP! HURRY UP!" it said Yelling . I don't want to keep him waiting .

Upon arriving at Kagaya's new home , Nero found himself being the third to arrive . The First being Gyomei then Kanae, he approached the two . " Nero . glad you arrived quickly ." Gyomei said , Kanae smiled at Nero . It's good to see you again . How have you been ?" she asked Nero bowed his head and replied " I've been better , Haven't gone on a mission in weeks ." After talking for a while the other Hashira's arrived , Sanemi looked at Nero with a pissed off look. " What ?" was all Nero said . Sanemi turned his head away and answered " You piss me off, more than Tomioka Dammit !" Nero gestures to him " Bring it on then .." he said. Just as Sane I was about to draw his sword , Kanae got in between both of them " Stop it please , we are at Oyakata-Sama's home !" Holding both her hands towards the two . Both stood down , they knew full well that fighting amongst demon slayers is Taboo. Nero began walking towards Kagaya's home. Kanae followed behind him , Sanemi " Tch ''.soon they all arrived in front of a veranda. As Everyone was waiting for Kagaya to arrive , Nero looked by the Laundry line and found Amane . He ran over to her '' Let me help you with that Amane-Sama. " he said . She turned around and smiled " Thank you Nero, Ever since we relocated to another house , the housework has been very difficult without your help . " she said . Letting Nero finish hanging the last of the clothes up , he turns' ' You only need to send a messenger Crow , I'll be over to help it's the least I can do . " he said . Just as Amane was about to say something , Kanae rushed over '' I'm sorry Amane-Sama but , Nero it's time for the meeting ." she said .
