The Family

Chapter 1

"Good morning hashiras!" I said, cheerfully as they all looked at me and my brother in doubt. I felt really unwelcomed. My brother looked at me and I nodded.

"There's no way these two kids are stronger than all of us!" A white haired guy spoke. Just as I was to say something to him my brother quickly cut me off before I even spoke.

He started talking, "My name is Fujiwara Kiyoshi and I'm the head of the Fujiwara family, or clan as they also call it. This is my sister Fujiwara Ran. We are the strongest members of the family, her being the strongest. We are demon slayers with no rank as we are all stronger than you." The white haired guy rolled his eyes and I glared at him. This guy is really getting on my nerves.

"Roll your eyes once more when my brother is talking and you won't have eyes to roll." I told him as he looked at me in fear and shock. My brother put his hand on my shoulder to try calm me down.

"Shinaguzawa-san, please calm down." Oyakata-sama said and he obediently bowed down. I calmed myself too so my brother relaxed and kept going.

"The Fujiwara family has got totally 5 members. Us, our two cousins and another two girls." He continued. "I hope you do not make yourselves our enemies." He said as if it was a warning. It was, I thought. I already hated that Shigunaza or something like that guy and when training starts he should just hope he survives it.

"Rae-kun and Hikaru-san, come." I said and most of hashiras looked at me confused. I bet they wondered who Raejin and Hikaru were.

Two figures appeared next to me as if they emerged from the shadows. As always, Raejin's hair was in a bun and Hikaru's was messy. Hikaru held his bright yellow katana towards hashiras.

"Not one of you scumbags deserve the title of hashiras! And I am here to make you perish as someone with actual talent takes the place of hashiras you fakes!" His voice roared and my brother sighed as I moved towards Hikaru. He looked at me as if he just realized I was there.

"Compose yourself Hikaru-san. Don't make me tell you twice. And just try to use that foul language of yours in Oyakata-sama's presence again." I looked at him, my eyes flashing red as I turned more angry at Hikaru. He gulped, his eyes wide and nodded.

"Yes, Ran-sama. Oyakata-sama I am very sorry for my poor choice of words it will never happen again!" He quickly bowed as Oyakata-sama signaled him to get up.

"No worries Fujiwara-sama. I am sure it will not happen anymore." He smiled. "I just ask you not to insult my dear hashiras. Even if you are stronger it doesn't give you the rights to disrespect them." He told him.

"So you have met the original members of the family. The remaining two members are not here at the moment but I am sure you will meet them soon." I said as hashiras were still processing what happened.

"Oyakata-sama it has been nice to see you again." My brother said, giving him a deep bow. "But we need to go. My sister and I have matters to discuss."

"It was nice seeing you too my dear Kiyoshi-sama." Oyakata-sama returned us a bow. I glanced at the hashiras once more before going away. They were all very confused and shocked as they never saw their master bowing to anyone.

We left to our own mansion.

"Hikaru-sama, Rae-kun. Go away for a moment. Kiyoshi-sama and I need to talk about something." I ordered and they nodded. They were gone in a second. Kiyoshi looked at me.

"You need to harness that fire of yours, Imouto-sama. One day it is going to be the end of you." He told me and I sighed, breathing in all of the scents. I loved the scent of our mansion. It reminded me of home.

"I know, Onii-sama. But sometimes I slip. And it is all because of how dumb our family members can get. Hikaru just disrespected Oyakata-sama! He should have thought better of it before threatening hashiras. He also disrespected the family!" I said, my eyes as red as they can get.

"Ran. Your eyes." He warned me and I groaned.

"Let's go outside." I offered. Whenever I was upset or mad I went into the forest by our mansion. The quietness and fresh scents were calming. My brother nodded opening the door for me.

We entered the woods, not hearing a sound. Eveything was so quiet I could only hear mine and my brother's breathing.

"About the light, Imouto-sama. Are you sure it is that boy?" He asked me as I skipped over the branches of trees.

"Positive." I told him and he sighed in relief. I guess he, just like me couldn't believe how close we are to defeating Muzan.

"It's really great." He said and I nodded.

"Yeah. Soon no demon will live on Earth." I said, a lump in my throat. My brother nodded, sadly.

"There will also be no more us." He said what we both thought, but I couldn't say it. I nodded.

"You're right. But it is for a better good." I said and he agreed with me.

"For the better good." Kiyoshi repeated.

"Now, about the light, what are some of his more visible traits?" He asked me.

"His hair is dark red and eyes matching the shade of his hair. He wears a kimono with a black-and-green ichimatsu pattern over the usual demon slayer uniform." I said, thinking of him and trying to find the most visible trait. "Oh, and he travels with his sister, who happens to be a demon. But she is like us."

Kiyoshi's eyes widened as I told him that. "But I thought that only Lady Tamayo does not devour humans?"

"Well, now you see you thought wrong." I pointed out. "He is at Urokodaki's place right now. Should we visit him today or?"

"Yes. Just before the sunset we will go there. Now, let's go back to the mansion before Hikaru and Raejin set it on fire."
