“TANJIRO HERE, HAS MET KIBUTSUJI”
“kibutsuji? where did i heard that name?” koko questioned himself, he's certain that he already heard that name from somewhere, he just can't recall where
“caw! kibutsuji muzan, the demon king! the strongest of all demons, caw!” your kasugai crow said to koko after he heard them platinum white haired man questioning himself
“y/n told us about him” rindou claimed
“caw! i don't care caw!” they fell silent in a second before laughing quietly, rindou irked, your crow have an attitude towards him
"psh, i could turn you into fried chicken” he whispered before turning his glance back to you and to the other hashira
sanemi grabbed tanjiro's hair and began shaking his head, the others questioning tanjiro if he battled with muzan and what is muzan's real strength. the poor boy can't answer, he starts to feel dizzy because of sanemi shaking his head, kagaya signaled them to be quiet which they quickly obeyed. kagaya tried explaining again that they should accept tanjiro and nezuko's situation 
“can you try to understand?” the master surely have a long patience and wide understanding. silence wrapped them for a seconds before sanemi decided to break it
“no. i can't, oyakata-sama.” tho you also have a same decision with sanemi you chose not to speak, let sanemi do the thing, you're in the same boat with him anyways 
“he's hard headed. i bet he's the trouble maker” sanzu grinned, he's starting to like sanemi, because of his scars and his personality 
“if it were human, i'd be okay with letting it live. but a demon is different story! not after all that we, the demon slayers have gone through in combat! not after so many people have lost their lives!” sanemi exlaimed “it's unacceptable!” 
“i'm getting where he is coming from, he don't want to spare the demon even tho it's good, because it is still a demon who can kill and eat a human.” said by mikey, because they are not part of the meeting, they're just giving side comments 
suddenly sanemi pulled out his sword from its sheath, he then flipped it and starts cutting his wrist, blood came out from it and shattered down to the ground and nezuko's box. 
“what is he doing?” rindou mumbled, tho they are criminal and killers, this is the first time that they saw someone harming himself 
“he's trying to use his blood to lure the demon. if the demon bites his bait, then it's over for her and his brother, tanjiro” ran said, it's not visible but ran grew a soft spot for older brothers like him 
“oyakata-sama, i will prove it to you, myself. the sheer ugliness of a demon!” no one dared to stop the wind hashira
“sanemi...” kagaya mumbled but didn't stop him also
“hey demon” sanemi stepped on the box with his one feet, the blood from his wrist dripping down the box “it's time for breakfast. sink your teeth into this” tanjiro groaned and tried freeing himself from the rope on his arms
“no need to hold back. show us your true colors and let me obliterate you right here!” sanemi said while grinning maliciously
“why no one is stopping him? i mean, they could do a better trial than this” kakucho said, the others agreed on him 
“shinazugawa, there's no reason to do it out in the sun. the demon won't show its face unless it's in the shadows.” you said with your usual neutral voice
“huh?! even y/n? she even gave advice to that dude!”guess what, they still don't know you that much
“oyakata-sama, please forgive this discourtesy.” sanemi grabbed the box and jumped inside kagaya's house, where the sun can't reach
he throws the box to the ground and starts stabbing it again, nezuko groaned in pain inside of it. tanjiro felt fear and anger inside him as he shouted his sister's name
“stop it! nezuko!” he tried moving from his place, the bonten executives could only gulped down but quickly gasped when they saw you jumped from your spot to tanjiro's, your elbow landed on his back, pinning him down mercilessly
“oh to be pinned down like that by y/n hehehe” sanzu received a head smack from ran, rindou and kakucho 
“rise and shine, demon!” sanemi continued torturing the demon by stabbing it again ang again “look, it's the human blood that you love so much!” tanjiro could only watch his sister being tortured, he can't shout, move and even breath since you're pinning him too hard, nerves on your arms starts showing 
“the poor boy looks like he can't breath anymore. we'll have y/n pin you down like that when you creat a ruckus” said by ran
sanemi opened the box and there, nezuko showed up. the other hashira and the bonten executives watched as the poor demon tried standing up from the box. 
“ne..zu..ko...” tanjiro muttered under his breath, you don't have a plan of letting him go, you even pinned him more harder 
“what's the matter, demon? have a taste! you know you want it!” sanemi taunted the demon. on your part, you feel tanjiro moving so you pinned him down more harder, shinobu noticed it
“y/n-san, you're digging into him too hard. ease up a bit, please” the insect hashira said
“i'm only pinning him down because he's trying to move” knowing that she couldn't stop you, shinobu turned to tanjiro “kamado-kun, if you use any breathing techniques while your lungs are being squeezed, your veins will burst” shinobu reminded him
“his veins will burst! i like it! sounds grandiose. come on, start bursting!” bonten sweat dropped at tengen while the love hashira could only look at him with worry
“poor soul. such a weak, pathetic child. namu amida butsu” shinobu, muichiro and mitsuri could only stare at the stone hashira
as sanemi continued tormenting the demon, tanjiro used all his strength to destroy the rope.
“kamado-kun!” shinobu yelled a little, your eyes widen when tanjiro succeeded freeing himself from the rope, destroying the rope. what surprised you more was when giyu appeared on your back and grabbed your arms that you used to pin tanjiro down. you two battled in strength and stared at each other's eyes.
“huh, that's tomioka! why he's holding y/n?!” rindou groaned and had to cover sanzu's mouth. your starring contest with giyu was cut off as you watched tanjiro ran away 
“nezuko!”
