The Wrath Of The Tsugikuni Heiress|| A Twisted Story Of Kimetsu No Yaiba

Part 23

On that Morning, At the Demon Slayer Headquarters..

"A negotiation, you say? Really?"

"Aye, Oyakata-sama.. Although, it may seem a bit suspicious but it is in fact the undeniable truth.."

"Hmm.. Very well, I'll think about it for now.. You are dismissed, Sakonji.."

"I shall be taking my leave then, Oyakata-sama.. Thank you for sparing me a bit of your time.."

The Oyakata-sama heard as the doors closed shut behind his back, leaving him to process his thoughts on Urokodaki's far-fetched story..

'Hmm.. Could it be the same demon that Kiriya saw at Final Selection?' the Oyakata-sama wondered, only to hear the shoji doors sliding open as the familiar voices of his beloved children began filling the room

"Good morning, Oyakata-sama! I'm glad to see you doing well today!"

"Thank you, Mitsuri.. I am quite pleased to see you all present and accounted for as usual.. Shall we proceed to our meeting, then?"

"Certainly, Oyakata-sama.."

Meanwhile, A Few Days Later.. Somewhere around the city of Asakusa..

It's been over a month since Tanjiro became a Demon Slayer, and a lot has happened since then..

Battling demons almost every day, Learning new techniques, and Meeting new people every now and then, it was almost like an infinite loop that never ceased to exist for Tanjiro and yet, most of the time, Tanjiro would often finds himself telepathically chatting with his sister to past the time..

"Incredible.. I never imagined being in the city would be this overwhelming.." Tanjiro muttered as he sat down on a bench in front of an udon stand, waiting for his bowl of udon

"Here's your bowl of udon!" He heard as the man behind the counter handed him his bowl of udon, only to receive thanks from Tanjiro

'Hey, Nezuko? Are you awake?' Tanjiro thought as he slowly starts to eat his bowl of udon, waiting for his sister to answer his call

"Yup, I'm awake! What is it, Tanjiro?" Nezuko replied as Tanjiro gave a small smile to himself before answering her question

'I was wondering if you could keep me company for a moment before you go to bed.. I feel so overwhelmed right now.. Being in the city feels so different from coming to town back at home' Tanjiro though, only to hear a small chuckle coming from Nezuko

"I can relate.. Hinokami and I are at Asakusa right now buying some new fabrics for Yuichiro's uniform, which city are you in?" Nezuko asked as Tanjiro's eyes widen with joy at her statement

'What a coincidence! I'm at Asakusa too!' He replied, taking one more sip of his bowl of udon before deciding that they should meet up before they go..

"That's a great idea! Let's meet at the park! Hinokami and I are heading there as we speak!" Nezuko mentally exclaimed as Tanjiro smiled to himself before suddenly catching a familiar scent in the air that made his blood run cold and dropped his bowl of udon

'That scent.. What's it doing here!?' Tanjiro thought as he ran back into the city to search for the source of that rotten stench..

Somewhere around the streets of Asakusa..

'Tanjiro? Tanjiro?! Is something the matter!? ' Nezuko mentally exclaimed, only to receive no answer from her beloved brother

"Something the matter, Nezuko?" Natsumi asked as she turns her attention towards her junior, only to catch a glimpse of worry upon her face

"Tanjiro.. Something's wrong with, Tanjiro! We have to go save him!" Nezuko exclaimed, making Natsumi's eyes widen in surprise as she tries to peek into Tanjiro's mind and manages to see what was in his line of vision

'It's him! That wretched demon is here!' Natsumi thought as she gave a low growl before suddenly running off towards the crowd with Nezuko tailing along behind her

'I won't let you take him away from me as well, you bastard!' Natsumi thought as she starts to push against the people in her way and continues to run towards Tanjiro's direction with great haste..

By the time they had reached Tanjiro, Natsumi felt relief washed over her as she brings the boy into a tight hug before suddenly casting a small glance towards the Demon King and his pretend family

Raising a small brow towards the Albino Demoness, Muzan couldn't help but notice the look of anger and hatred upon the girl's face as she tightens her hold upon the boy and glares at him

'A Demon protecting a Demon Slayer?' Muzan thought, watching Natsumi closely as she puts up a deceiving look upon her face and starts to bow apologies to him before ushering the Demon Slayer away from him along with another Demon who appears to be the boy's younger sister, judging from what he has heard with his enchanced hearing

Feeling slightly pissed off of what's happened, Muzan couldn't help but feel slightly relieved to have the Demon Slayer off his tail, one wrong moved and the boy could have exposed him and his location towards the other Demon Slayers in the area..

"Aren't you coming home with us, daddy?" Muzan's pretend daughter asked as he gave her a fake smile before making up an excuse to why he is unable to come home with them

"Take them back to the house.. Quickly please.." He stated to the driver, only to receive a small nod before hearing the engine starting as the driver drove away with his pretend family

By the time the car was completely out of sight, Muzan was already making his way towards a dark alley as he starts searching for one of the hidden entrance to his Fortress, only to suddenly ran into two of his fellow demons at the darkest side of the alley..

"Lord Kibutsuji.." They greeted, kneeling down with their heads hang low as Muzan starts to stares at them with expectation in his eyes

"There is an Albino Demoness who accompanies a young Demon Slayer with Hanafuda earrings.. I want you to bring her to me her head.."

"Yes.."

"As you wish.." They replied as they immediately vanished, leaving Muzan to reminisce upon the memory of that familiar look of hatred coming from that Albino Demoness from earlier.
