Swordsmiths Village

Yami and Tanjiro finally arrived at the Swordsmith village and were unblindfolded. They went to meet with the Village Chief, who welcomed them with open arms.

Hiro also got into the village. He flashed through the village before arriving in front of the training doll, Yoriichi Type Zero. He hyper focused and analyzed the Doll completely, he ignored the sword inside and memorized the entire structure of the doll and how it worked. A blueprint quickly made itself in his mind, it was exactly like the doll, capable of anything it can do even the different adjustments.

The more he looked, the more detailed the blueprints became until the entire doll was detailed, every single part had an extensive description of how it worked. Hiro continued looking at it and the blueprints in his mind started changing, becoming better as Hiro started making improvements to the doll, saving the old blueprints and creating a copy with his own adjustments and improvements.

This should be a good birthday present for the kid when he turns 11.

Hiro vanished after everything was done and his new blueprints were finalized.

Yami and Tanjiro relaxed in the hot springs where they met Genya, the guy that passed the Final Selection with them. Yami didn't say anything but Tanjiro talked up a storm. Nezuko got naked and got in the hot springs too.

Tanjiro was covering Yami's eyes as he continued talking happily. Yami just wanted to relax, not he couldn't see. This is just great. Tanjiro said "You can see or she won't be able to get married!" Yami stayed silent and Nezuko dog paddled in the hot springs happily.

The next day

Yami was with Konzo listening him talk about swords and showing everyone Yami's strange sword. They were awed by the strangeness of it. They liked strange things, they were awesome. Yami got loaded with information about how to take care of swords by all the swordsmiths and Konzo even have him extra hilts and materials for replacements, showing him how to replace the hilt and wrap it and everything.

Yami was grateful for the advice and listened honestly to everyone, the lecture and teaching went on for days and Yami was almost certain he was able to create a sword now. They went a bit overboard with their lectures, just teaching him how to make swords as well.

Nevertheless, Yami soaked all the info up like a sponge. His scarf was stitched up yet again as he trained against replicas of the Yoriichi Type Zero doll since Tanjiro broke the original one. They were good but nowhere near the original one.

Yami was stitching his scarf back up one night, when Demons started appearing out of nowhere and attacking the village and swordsmiths. Yami immediately sprung into action and started cutting down the demons and destroying the pots that were on them.

He felt that they were just small fry. But the villagers were in danger and the other Demon Slayers were pathetic and died right away. He ran around the village, killing as many demons as he could and saving any villagers he saw but they were just everywhere. He cut down a demon and a girl appeared saying "Good job, Oni-cutie~ <3"

Yami looked at her, it was Mitsuri, the Love Hashira. He nodded at her and left to kill the other demons, saving more people and gathering them together so that he didn't have to run around and save people he already saved again.

Mitsuri and Yami saved all the swordsmiths and cut down the demons, bringing them all in one place but there were a few missing the rest were dead and confirmed. Yami looked through the group before letting out a breath of relief seeing that Konzo was okay.

He nodded to Konzo before saying "Watch them." and running off, Mitsuri was stunned and shouted "HEY! I'M THE HASHIRA HERE! NOT YOU!" Yami ignored her and his scarf fluttered in the wind as he ran off. Mitsuri held her cheeks and said "But he's such a cutie! Kyaaaaaaa!"

Yami ran to the forest where he heard the song of Evil. He saw Tanjiro fighting a demon with a ring of drums on his back. He blurred and slashed a purple air slash through the soundwave attack, Tanjiro said quickly "Yami! There's a small demon in that woodball!" Yami nodded and Tanjiro shouted "WHAT!?"

Yami didn't say anything else and shot off the ground, dancing through the strikes of lightning and jumping of the wood dragons. He slashed through everything in his way and let out a purple breath as he pointed the sword forward and traced a circle in front of him.

He flew at the demon with the fiery purple haze circle, Yami paused and made 10 cuts in a split second. The circle got a square with two overlapping triangles inside, forming a 10 pointed star. Yami passed the Demon as he said "Oni Style: 14th Form- Star Sign of the Oni God."

He landed on the wood and his horns and eyes were completely purple, his scalerae was glowing and he had purple tomoe birth marks on his cheeks two curving inwards pointing down and two curving inwards pointing up.

They looked like fangs that Oni's in legend have. The two tomoe on each cheek ar side by side with the ones pointing up on the outer side of the inner ones.

He stood up and clicked his sword back into the sheath as the demon was cut into bits by the Star slash. Tanjiro, Genya, and Nezuko went for the tiny demon that was hiding as the drum ring demon started regenerating.

It looked at Yami and said "You're interesting... I want to tear you to shreds!" Yami blurred and dodged all the lighting and wood dragons, this time there was shots of pressure slamming down on Yami as well.

Yami continued dodging and closed his eyes, he was picking up a new sound... A new song, a warning song! He jumped back before the demon even moved and it turned out he was swinging down there. Yami was already out of the way when the demon smashed down a pressure leaf.

The demon was stunned and said "What?! How?!" he beat a drum and Yami was already in a different place. Yami's eyes were closed and he was listening to the songs that were telling him where to go, they told him what was coming, they wanted him to live!

Yami opened his eyes and sped forward jumping over nothing, a few seconds later a wood dragon shot where he just was. Yami ran along the trees and jumped to another one as the one he was on was struck by lighting after he left.

Yami turned and headed straight for the demon "11th Form- Kamaitachi's Curse!" he sliced the demon's head off and spun in the air, kicking it far away before slicing it's body to ribbons. The sun started rising and Yami looked at the head that was turning to ashes.

His marks disappeared and he sheathed his sword before jumping off the wood mountain and walking back to the village.

A crow flew over and shouted "STONES! STONES! GIVE YOUR STONES!"
