15 Days

Today there's a beautiful sunrise, no clouds to block the rays of light from shining on my face. Then I turn to Tanjiro and Nezuko and yell

(Akuma): "Today I will introduce you to my butler Sebastian." I say while a shadowy figure slowly creeps out my shadow.

(Sebastian): "Good morning Tanjiro and Mistress Nezuko." Immediately at Sebastian's words, Nezoko blushes. Then Grayfia starts holding back her snakehead almost like she's laughing but the only audible thing is her hiss.

(Tanjiro): "U-um good morning Sebastian!" 'Where'd he come from? Did he just leave Akuma's shadow???"

(Akuma): "While I'm gone working on some important matters Sebastian here will train you in Total Concentration and train Nezuko in the powers I gave her. Sebastian, please take care of my wife and best friend."

(Sebastian): "Yes Master." He says before grabbing Tanjiro by the head and Nezuko on her hand then teleporting.

(Urokodaki): "How did he do that? And what is your true power Akuma? Did you grow up with Tanjiro?"

(Akuma): "I did grow up with Tanjiro, the fun days on the mountain building snowmen and selling coal to the villagers with the cold brisk air, but alas It didn't last forever." When I say this Urokodaki look's at me like I've just recited the best poem he's ever heard.

(Akuma): "Let's just say the same strings of fate that bind you don't bind me! Now I'll have to leave. I'll come back in 14 days so expect me!" I say in a cheerful tone leaving Urokodaki stunned.

(Urokodaki): 'I don't understand why but I fear this child... It is good Tanjiro is his friend. But what does he mean the strings of fate don't bind him?'

While Urokadki was still speaking his inner monologue I vanish into the shadows. Standing at the summit of the mountain Tanjiro used to train on, I call the familiar out.

'Come to me vulture.'

{ Demon Slayer Kusagai Crows Department }

(Caretaker 1): "Who do you think this vulture is assigned too? It's way too scary and big. Whoever it belongs to must be crazy powerful"

(Caretaker 2): "Ah you're exaggerating, It's just a dumb oversized bird that eats dead things"

Suddenly the vulture breaks the containment it was in and the flies through the roof

{Back to Akuma}

Immediately as I call the vulture the sun rays above me are blocked by a gigantic figure, Then I jump off the summit in the same pose I was before. The vulture dives down and catches me.

(Vulture): "Hello master, what can I do for you"

(Akuma): "Take me to the Ubuyashiki family household."

(Vulture): "Yes master, please hold on."

After admiring the view above the clouds and the beautiful red sun I fall asleep on the vulture.

When I awake I'm greeting by him.

(Vulture): "Master, We have arrived. I am above the household."

(Akuma): "Good job Vulture! Now I'll give you a break." I say before sending Vulture into a personalized habitat for him with a scorching desert and lots of prey and palm trees and water.

While still free-falling to the household.

At the Ubuyashiki household, you can see a boy clad in a black robe with stars all over it descending from the sky. Without a single hint of fear on his face he freefalls.

Currently, at the Ubuyashiki household, there was a pillar meeting being held until they all felt a disturbance in the air. They all run outside to see a boy falling from the sky.

(Sound Pillar, Tengen): "It look's like someone making their entrance flamboyantly!"

As he said that Akuma drops to the ground. A massive dust cloud can be seen where he landed. But strangely there's no damage to the ground?

(Akuma): "Yo, Pillars! What's up?"

Immediately as he said that the Serpent Pillar, Obanai Iguro attacks him.

(Obanai): "This is what you get for interrupting Mr. Kaguya!" he says while using his snake-shaped sword

as it 'seems' it stabs me in the stomach all the pillars sigh in relief.

(Akuma): "Obanai that's no way to greet your younger brother!" I say while pretending to be hurt.

His eyes widen at the thought of killing his own younger brother until I burst out laughing

(Akuma): "HAHAHA I'm not hurt nii-san!"

(Obanai): "Who's my brother! You're definitely not." 'How did he not get hurt by my sword? And why does his snake look cooler than mine?' thinking this thought that all the other pillars are thinking and Kaguya who's watching behind the screen door.

(Akuma): "Well we have the same last name and don't we look kind of similar?" I say while pointing at my face.

(Akuma): "Hello Pillars, my name is Akuma Iguro! A Mizunoto ranked demon slayer." I say while bowing.

Finally someone other than Obanai talks to me.

(Kyojuru): "Ah! Hello Akuma, why are you here? And why did you fall from the sky?"

(Akuma): "Hello Flame Pillar. To answer your question, I'm here to talk to Kaguya and I fell from the sky off a bird!"

When I say that everyone looks at me like I'm crazy except for Shinobu and Mitsuri.

(Sanemi): "Insolence, you cannot speak to Kaguya like he's your friend!" He says while drawing his sword. But before he does, Kaguya walks out the screen door with his twin daughter and son.

(Twins): "The Master has arrived" at those words all of the pillars returned into a line and kneeled.

(Kaguya): "Hello my child, why might you have come here."

(Akuma): "Hello Mr. Kaguya, My name is Akuma and I have a deal to make with you that you won't be able to deny." I say with a devilish smile.

(Kaguya): "Well, what is this 'deal' you have to offer me, child?'

(Akuma): "I can cure you and the rest of your family and remove the curse from your bloodline at a price."

Then in an outburst a side of Kaguya that has never been seen before "How do you know about the family curse! Don't talk nonsense!"

(Akuma): "Don't raise your voice to me." I say in a cold tone while releasing my aura that puts everyone on edge. All the 12 pillars get in position for battle until I take my aura back in and say

"I can cure your whole family and cure the rest of your bloodline on a condition."

(Kaguya): "What is the condition."

(Akuma): "Work for me!" I say in a cheerful voice. At this point, everyone doesn't know whether to cry or laugh. Asking the leader of the Demon Slayer organization and Ubuyashiki clan to work for you is something no one could imagine.

(Kaguya): 'This kid.. is this a test? But he looks serious. It's a gamble but If I have the chance to cure my family and stop their death I will.' "I accept, please don't give me false hope... If this works I will work for you."

Laughing maniacally I finally say (Akuma): "Good! Good! For your determination, I will give you and your family the gift of a lifetime. I hope I can put you guys to good use!"

Pointing at Kaguya's forehead while turning my fingers into a gun shape I shoot out a black light that envelopes him in a blinding white light. At this point, all the pillars have started trying to attack me but with every attack, I phase right through them. Like a ghost.

(Akuma): "*Sigh* Can you guys stop trying to attack me," I say pointing at Kaguya "His body is being healed. I've already healed the rest of his family.'

All Twelve Pillars stare at their master sitting calmly with his eyes closed and then back at me.

"How are you alive!" They say in unison staring at me with confusion, awe, and fear in their faces.

(Akuma): "Did you really think you can kill the God of Death? HAHA"

Everyone looking at me crazy and no one taking me seriously. This time I'm mad.

I raised my hand and then open the <Gate to Hell> suddenly a crack appears in the ground and then out of it comes a large gate hundreds of feet high with ornaments all over it. It opens up slowly revealing the flaming depths of the first level of Hell. Hundreds of Oni come out and bow behind me and then stand up in battle formation threatening the pillars.

The Pillars looking at them with fear and then back to me before I shoo all the Oni away walking back sadly as they didn't get to fight and the gate goes back into the ground like nothing happened.

(Akuma): "Please take me seriously next time. I will forgive you all for attacking me today but try not to ever again." I say with a slight hint of anger in a voice devoid of emotion.

Kaguya comes in front of me with his body full of energy after being cured and then he kneels and says

(Kaguya): "Master please forgive them they were only trying to protect me." He says with his head down.

(Akuma): "It's alright! I already warned them after all. Now back to business, now that you've been cured and are alive and kicking I want to talk to Shinobu and my older brother. So please excuse us"

(Akuma): "Come on Shinobu and big bro!" I say in a childish voice shocking them.

"Now that everyone's here, Shinobu sweetheart can you get me and my brother some tea?"

(Shinobu): "Y-yes! I'll be back". Before Shinob swiftly leaves the room.

(Obanai): "So what do you want to talk about 'Little Brother.' he says still skeptical about my identity.

(Akuma): I don't take him to be the type of person to mourn over her death so I'll just let it out flat'

"After I was born, mother died and I grew up in the village. I stayed in the orphanage until I left for the Demon Slayer Exams. Now that fate has lead us both here I want to catch up with my big brother" '

(Obanai): "I knew she would die soon but yeesh. That was fast."

(Akuma): "Well, thats all I needed to tell you. See you big bro!" I wave my hand then teleport him out the room, outside the room Obanai fell on his ass on a confused Sound Pillar

(Tengen): "What a flamboyant exit!"

Back in the room, Shinobu arrived with tea in hand. "What happened to Obanai?"

(Akuma): "He's outside don't worry, sit down!" I say in a childish voice, when she sits down I pop the question of dear importance

(Akuma): "Shinobu Kocho, will you become one of my wives?" I say out loud. Everyone outside could hear it as well. Shinobu dropped her teacup to the ground

(Shinobu): "Eh?... Wives...? Me?" 'W-w-wait I don't even know him! How could he just ask that question? Do I even have a say in this!'

(Shinobu): "Do I have a choice?"

(Akuma): "Of course my dear Shino, I hope you accept as I could give you the world and your dear sister!"

(Shinobu): "I accept! But ((please.. treat me well))" she says with a flushed face and then I whisper in her ear. "Of course my dear."
