thirty three

note : sadly, i won't narrate the fight of the other pillars with upper moons since my main focus here is iguro obanai.

WARNING : manga spoilers ahead!

“SHINOBU IS DEAD.” kiriya ubuyashiki muttered, the 8 years old current lord of ubuyashiki house. there's a paper on his forehead same with his other two younger siblings

the poor young man couldn't even mourn and shed tears for his parents and older siblings who just passed away several minutes ago

“we have little information. order the crows to spread as many of the eyes as possible.” he ordered, he was left with a big responsibility, a responsibility that might cause a life or save lives

the bonten were with them, they are just in the corner, your crow is also with them. yuan gave them the piece of paper that is same with the one on kiriya's forehead

“caw! put that on your forehead, you would see what's happening between the fight of demons and hashira. caw!” bonten obeyed and placed the papers on their forehead

“muzan's location hasn't changed. at present, everyone is far away. lead them north” kiriya pointed the north part on the map that he draw

“the ones that confronting the kizuki are... i see...”

“kanao and... agatsuma. he has encountered upper rank 6.”

“caw! i'll go and find iguro-sama!” yuan didn't wait for answer and quickly flied away. he needs to find you so bonten would see your current situation, your crow can feel how worried bonten are for you

“y/n... please be safe” ran caressed rindou's shoulder, comforting his younger brother

“y/n is tough and strong. i'm sure she's safe” he said, trying to calm rindou. ran is also worried for you, they all do. they don't even think of losing you

they are seeing what is yuan's seeing, their eyes was connected to yuan's. your crow is still trying to locate you in the infinity fortress

the ubuyashiki siblings continued working to help the demon slayers. at the very young age, they were left behind by their parents and other two older siblings, and so, kuina can't stop herself from crying

“no crying. don't ever stop your hand, we will not lose.” kiriya said

“right!”

there was a deafening silence between the retired sound hashira and the former flame hashira. uzui tengen and kyojuro's father, shinjuro rengoku

“kiriya sama is quite amazing. he continued to instruct the demon hunters despite the fact that his heart is still reeling from his father's death. he is making his own orders heard. right, rengoku-san?” the two was just outside the room where the ubuyashiki siblings are

“right. these kids at the very young age are encouraging me so much. just as kyojuro did, i will risk my life and protect them. so i will not cast shame on the rengoku family name.”

at this moment, giyu and tanjiro is facing the upper moon 3, akaza. while nezuko is with urokodaki sakonji

“tanjiro and giyu, have defeated akaza! they have collapsed from exhaustion!” tanjiro and giyu's win against akaza was a big advantage, akaza holds the position as the fourth strongest demon

“caw! shinobu, kanao, and inosuke! these three defeated upper rank 2!” another death of an upper rank, their hopes are getting high that humanity would win this battle against demons

switch to the upper moon one, the only one left in the big three. he's really rhe upper rank one for a reason. kokushibo is facing muichiro and genya

unfortunately, genya's torso and arms were cut off by kokushibo. muichiro can't do anything because he was pinned on a post with his nichirin blade

“around three hundred years ago, there was a swordsman who ate demons just like you... he died when i sliced his body. so perhaps for you, it's your head?” kokushibo watched genya crawled on the ground, he gripped his sword on its sheath

“i have no reason to let a fake demon like you live...” before kokushibo could kill genya, sanemi arrives and dodge the attack. kokushibo stepped back

“the wind pillar..”

“you got that right. i am the wind that will rip your head off, bitch.” sanemi answered, genya looked at him weakly

“aniki...”

“i'm serious here. you really are one pathetic little brother. why do you think i went as far as killing our own mother? because i wanted to protect you!” genya went silent as he remember his conversation about tanjiro

“you should've gotten goddamn married, had some goddamn kids, and lived until you became a goddamn old geezer.” sanemi said those words painfully

“for all the times we couldn't do a thing for mom, and for all the time we couldn't do a thing for our little siblings, you should have made your goddamn wife and kids as happy as they would have been” sanemi stopped

“because i would've made sure that no demon would be heading your way..” genya broke into tears after hearing those from his older brother

“sorry nii-chan... i'm so sorry”

(a/n : i'm not crying, you are)

“huh, demon hunter brothers. how nostalgic”

“how dare you dice my little brother up, you fuck eyed bastard! you're dead! unforgivable!” and so the battle between the wind pillar and the upper rank one, begins

the fight continues, sanemi is strong but his strength don't match with the upper rank one. but he continued to battle with the demon until gyomei arrived

gyomei, sanemi, genya and muichiro fought the upper moon one. seems unfair, but it's not, kokushibo is terribly strong that he can regenerate his head back even if they cut it off. the fight with him was tough that it ended with them losing genya and muichiro

but their sacrifice are not wasted, the upper moon one was defeated. first, his mother and other sibling, second masachika, next kanae, then kagaya ubuyashiki, and now, his younger brother. sanemi got nothing left

oh wait, there's still you. his closest friend in the corps
