章 56: Chapter 49
"Wow, nice house." Kyoshi said as he walked through the kitchen and to the living room. It was more modern than he thought it'd be. If he had to chose, he'd pick traditional Japanese architecture over western, but he liked the change.
"Thank you, but you were supposed to be here tomorrow right? Did something happen?" Rin asked as she sat on the couch. Kyoshi sat opposite of her and crossed one leg over the other with a sigh.
"Well yeah. Next week me and you will be meeting three hashira to have a pretty big discussion and if it all goes well, gramps's going to have a much easier time with his plans." Kyoshi explained.
"What if it's a trap?" Rin asked.
"Well, we're trusting each other to come in compliance with everything on this note." Kyoshi said as he took the paper from his pocket and slid it on the table to Rin.
"What about the other 7?" She asked.
"Well, I don't know if the demon hashira is coming so he wasn't counted and the other six want me dead, so they aren't coming to the meeting."
"I see, but why bring me and not one of the Upper moons?"
"Simply for experience and to show that while my gramps is the strongest that doesn't mean they can do what they want like there aren't other strong demons. They've been sending out tons of demon slayers and your strength will be the embodiment of their consequences."
"Ohhhh, that's why you kept sending me out to eat more and more demon slayers." Rin said.
"Exactly, but let's move on. The meetings gonna be in a week and before then I'm giving you more blood. If something does go down you'll be my backup."
"Alright." Rin said with a serious nod.
Kyoshi got up and turned his index finger into a thin stinger before shooting it into her neck. Her veins started bulging while her eyes glowed blue and she dropped to her knees holding in her screams.
'I should've done this at night.' Kyoshi thought as he took a step back.
The sounds of her groaning in pain from the transformation and empowerment of her cells were constant. This went on for a bit longer than 10 minutes before she passed out.
Kyoshi could still hear her heartbeat so he knew she wasn't dead and sighed as he put her on the couch. He could already feel that her aura changed so she successfully grew stronger, but he also wondered if she gained anything new.
"Meh."
He shrugged and took a seat on the couch as he waited for her to wake up.
…
(A Few Hours Later)
As Kyoshi sat on the couch with his eyes closed and arms crossed waiting for Rin to wake up, she suddenly jumped awake with a gasp causing him to open his eyes.
He saw her look around then back at him before clenching her fists.
"It worked!!" She yelled.
"Good." Kyoshi replied as he stood up and stretched. He glanced towards the clock above the doorway to the kitchen and saw it was about 10:30 in the afternoon.
"That took quite a while to happen. Did you get anything new?" Kyoshi asked.
"No. Other than being overall stronger than I was before I didn't get any type of powers." She answered.
"Cool, I'll check outside and you get ready to-Oh right." Kyoshi stammered as he sighed.
"I almost forgot about Tanjiro." He added.
"Tanjiro?"
"Yeah. A demon slayer gramps wanted to meet his partner was a demon though and I don't know where she is. Forget about that, I also have to stop by the spider family's house I'll just see if they have anything that can get him in shape.
Itsumu can probably make some potion I guess." Kyoshi said as he popped his knuckles. He went out the back door and peeked outside and saw the clouds covered the sun which was just a bit above the horizon.
"Alright let's go. You have you stuff?" Kyoshi asked as he looked towards Rin. She was wearing a basic kimono and she shook her head.
Kyoshi sighed and closed the door as he waited only a few minutes for her to get into clothes more suited for movement and for her to get her stuff together.
The house she was in was one she bought. All she did was alter her appearance to look adult like and gave them money then signed papers.
Anyways, they left the house and obviously Rin was stared at a lot because of her appearance. Perfectly white hair was never seen out here nor were blue eyes of that magnitude.
Kyoshi did look good, but his pitch black hair and smoky gray eyes didn't catch as much attention as Rin did.
Regardless of the attention they got, they walked normally to the hospital. Kyoshi told Rin to wait outside since he was the onlyone with a visitor pass to Tanjiro's room and he was welcomed in, signed a sheet of paper, went down the hall, made a left and walked into his room.
Tanjiro was fast asleep under some blankets on a nursing bed. He walked into the room and turned on a light and immediately Tanjiro's eyes popped open and he raised up.
Kyoshi already closed the door and he gestured for Tanjiro to be quiet with a stare making him remember what Kyoshi said outside of town.
"C'mon, we're leaving. I got places to be and you got people to meet." Kyoshi said as he stepped forward.
Tanjiro got off the bed and watched Kyoshi go to a window in his room and open it before looking out of it.
"Alright, you're hurt, but a jump from hear shouldn't hurt right?" Kyoshi asked as he turned towards Tanjiro who was holding his rib cage.
"Hmmm, meh. Don't need to risk it." Kyoshi said as he walked over to Tanjiro and abruptly knocked him out. He carried him like a girl and hopped out the window before his Kakugan activated a a pair of shimmering wings ripped through his back.
The wings looked a bit gardened like crystals and they had bright red blood flowing through them. Kyoshi landed on the ground and the wings retracted into his back.
He then ran around the hospital and signaled for Rin to follow him.
"That's Tanjiro?" She asked. Kyoshi nodded and pointed far off towards the gate of the village.
"We're gonna run straight through." He said.
Rin nodded her head and quickly they sprung forward and blew passed the guard before his eyes could even register what went by.
Only a few moments after leaving the village Tanjiro was already waking up and he had one big concern.
His sister. He cleared up the whole girlfriend confusion with Kyoshi and made it clear that was his sister.
…
"That's quite interesting. So your sister was turned into a demon and somehow didn't attack you?"
"No, she did, but I was stronger and able to hold her off."
"What? So you were somehow stronger than a demon? Even if she was a newborn there shouldn't have even been away for you to keep up with her speed, let alone defend against her strength." Kyoshi said as he pushed aside a log.
"Well, she was weaker than a regular newborn I guess." Tanjiro said.
"And you said Giyu was about to kill her, but you somehow convinced him to spare her?" Rin asked.
"Yeah. He left a note and gave her that bamboo muzzle." Tanjiro answered.
"I see. Isn't this Giyu guy supposed to be cold-hearted or whatever?" Kyoshi asked Rin who nodded.
"So this guy randomly saved a demon and gave you directions to his master because somehow, even though he's a veteran demon slayer he wasn't paying attention to the weapon in your hand when you threw it up and he got tricked?"
"I know it's hard to believe, but yes!!" Tanjiro yelled as he was getting tired of the questioning.
"Hm, makes sense I guess." Kyoshi said as he jumped over a slight ledge in the ground and looked up ahead.
"Alright, we're here. The spider family residence." Kyoshi said as he looked at the big wooden house sitting in an open area.
"Hm, what's-"
"Wait, you know these demon?" Tanjiro asked as he pointed towards the house.
"Huh? You know these demon?" Kyoshi asked.
"Wait, I don't know these demons." Rin added.
"Wait you don't? I swear I mentioned them before." Kyoshi wondered as he scratched his head.
Finally, he hunched his shoulders and went up to the property. The door opened up and Itsumu sneered as he looked towards Tanjiro.
"You're traveling with those things now huh?" He asked Kyoshi.
"Itsumu, watch how speak of our guest." Koyuki, the former mother spider demon said as she came into the frame.
"Please come in. It's nice to see you all here again." She said as she stepped aside and let everyone in.
"It's been a minute." Kyoshi said as he stepped into the house. He took a glance around and pointed towards the living room.
Sitting on the couch was Miyumi, the former spider sister and Nezuko, Tanjiro's sister.
She was getting her nails painted…
"Well, what a surprise." Kyoshi said as he stepped in.
"Why're you here?" Miyumi asked.
"I wanted to see if Itsumu had anything that could heal Tanjiro up. We got into a fight and he was hurt pretty bad." Kyoshi replied as he brung Tanjiro forward.
"Well actually…" Itsumu said as he ejected the stingers from his wrists.
"You have something?" Kyoshi asked.
"It was a healing vial he had when we fought. It should work all the same of even better now that it's in my possession, but I have a few questions first." Itsumu said.
"Before you get into that, go to the living room. You're all blocking the doorway." Koyuki said.
"Right."
They moved to the living room and Tanjiro sat with his sister while Itsumu got between him and Miyumi leaving Kyoshi to sit on the other couch with Rin.
"…okay. So what are your questions?" Kyoshi asked.
"Firstly, why're you traveling with a demon slayer?"
"Gramps wanted to meet him and his demon companion. I just so happen to come across him at Kyogai's mansion and so I knocked him out and kidnapped him."
"What's been going on lately? Since I'm not in the 12 Kizuki, I don't get information and mom's always gone."
"The DSC have been getting a little too rowdy in their attacks lately and so we're getting prepared in case an all out war happens."
"Alright, then my last question is about her. Who's she?"
"She's my student. Recently got some of my blood for what's coming up in a few weeks."
"What do you mean?"
"I'll be going to a meeting with three of the Hashira to see if we can come to an agreement about a few things regarding demons and humans coexisting."
The room was taken over by an eerie silence as everyone looked at Kyoshi in shock. All other than Rin.
"What? How can you expect a species that eats humans to coexist peacefully with humans?!" Itsumu asked abruptly breaking the silence.
"Because gramps has a plan for all demons and humans. A peaceful one." Kyoshi said.
"Anyways, no more questions. Heal up Tanjiro because we're actually on a tight schedule and I haven't told gramps about this yet."
"Tch." Clicking his tongue he went over to Tanjiro and quickly stuck him in the beck with the stinger and injected the healing serum into him.
Tanjiro moved his body around with a big smile on his face and Kyoshi got up from the couch with Rin and looked towards Nezuko.
"You have to come too. Muzan wants to speak with you, well if you can speak at all." Kyoshi said.
Nezuko looked towards Tanjiro who nodded and she got up. The four of them started heading towards the door and were shown out by Koyuki who was also getting ready to head out again.
She was only here because Muzan understood her affection and worry for her "kids".
Anyways, the four of them were now descending the mountain each ready to have a different experience with Muzan. Tanjiro himself had a feeling inside of him he couldn't understand as he pictured how he'd meet with Muzan and how he'd act towards him.
"Don't worry. Gramps's a chill dude now and don't try anything. Even if I act nice towards you, the only reason I haven't killed you yet is because gramps wants to meet you. The next time we see each other, it's on sight." Kyoshi explained with a small smile on his face as he looked towards Tanjiro.
