The tenth pillar PT.2
Of course, he has come prepared to persuade his kids into accepting it. His daughter held a letter and started to read it out loud for everyone to hear.
"We received this letter from the former pillar, Urokodaki Sakonji-sama. I will read an extract from it.
----Please forgive Tanjirou for being with a Demon. Nezuko has a tenacious spirit and retains some human reasoning. Even when she's starving she doesn't eat humans. And she has stayed that way for more than two years.
You may find it difficult to believe, but this is the unmistaken truth.
If by any chance Nezuko ever attacks someone, Kamado Tanjirou as well as Urokodaki Sakonji and Tomioka Giyuu will cut their own stomachs open as an apology. "
Everyone stayed silent as they heard her reading, Tanjirou couldn't help but cry as he heard this. Yet when everyone thought this was it, they couldn't help but be quite shocked to the next part that Oyakata-sama read with a happy voice.
"---- Also, The Tenth Pillar has given something to Nezuko so she doesn't feel hunger or goes berserk from it. Its my pleasure to say that the chances of Nezuko ever attacking someone are short and almost inexistent. The Tenth pillar themselves told me this and I believe in their word with my own life as this person has never said something that doesn't come true."
Everyone gasped and their hearts accelerated. 'So, the tenth pillar was actually real? And they themselves had give the approval to this demon?' everyone was couldn't hide their surprised as they saw that smile in Oyakata-sama's face. That smile that was only meant for you.
Of course, they still held some doubts since they have never met you and they didn't doubt to say what they were thinking.
"…What should I say if they're gonna kill themselves. If they want to die, they can just die and rot away. There is no guarantee in all this even with the Tenth pillar who we have never met even once word."
"Shinazugawa is correct here! If she kills and eats someone, nothing can be undone!! The people who got killed will never come back!!" The Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku added.
"That is very true. They can't guarantee or prove that she wont attack people. But You can't she'll attack someone either."
Oyakata-sama added with his usual gentle voice while the others were surprised by it.
"The truth is that Nezuko has been living without eating people for more than two years, and because of her two people are putting their lives on the line. And I also trust The Tent Pillar words with my life.
And to deny this, the deniers have to present something more than what is here"
Some pillars couldn't help but grit their teeth at this.
"Besides, Tanjirou has come into contact with Kibutsuji."
At this, all the pillars were utterly surprised and they couldn't hide it as they started to shot Tanjirou with question after question.
"That can't be…"
"WE PILLARS HAVE NEVER EVEN COME INTO CONTACT WITH HIM, AND THIS GUY HAS?!!!!"
"Did you fight?"
"WHAT WAS KIBUTSUJI DOING!??"
"HAVE THE HEADQUARTES BEEN LOCATED!??"
"HEY ANSWER!"
"SHUT UP I ASKED HIM FIRST!"
"FIRST OFF, KIBUTSUJI'S POWERS…"
It was getting quite loud so Kagaya made the silence motion with his hand and everything went quiet after that. Kagaya understood their astonishment. None of them, pillars, have come into contact with him. Only The tenth pillar and Kamado Tanjirou has.
"You see, Kibutsuji has come after Tanjirou and Tanjirou shook his pursuer loose. The reason for this may simply be just to close some loose ends, but for the first time, I don't want to let go of the tail that Kibutsuji has showed us.
And this goes for Nezuko as well. I believe something unexpected has happened to Kibutsuji. Do you understand?"
"I do not understand Oyakata-sama. We can let humans live, but demons must not. I cannot consent."
Sanemi was suppressing his rage to the point of biting his lip into bleeding. He then proceeds to cut his own skin and letting his blood run. Tanjirou was surprised while the Love pillar was worried of he messing up the garden with his blood.
"OYAKATA-SAMA…!! I WILL PRESENT YOU THE UGLINEES OF WHAT WE CALL DEMONS!"
"Sanemi…"
"HEY DEMON!! ITS TIME TO EAT! SINK YOUR TEETH ON TO THIS!"
Sanemi proceed to drop his blood in the box Nezuko was in.
"Shinazugawa, you can't do it in the sunlight. The demon won't come out unless you go to the shade." The Serpent Pillar proceed to add.
"OYAKATA-SAMA… FORGIVE MY RUDENESS."
Sanemi took the box and went inside were Oyakata was in since that was the place with the most shade. Tanjirou couldn't help but scream at Sanemi to stop. What he was doing and the Serpent pillar had to immobilized him so he didn't move.
Sanemi then kicked the box open revealing Nezuko inside, she stood in front of Sanemi panting.
While the others where just telling Iguro to loosen up because he was pressing Tanjirou's lungs way too much. While Shinobu just casually addressed this to Tanjirou by telling that if he uses his breathes his blood vessels will explode.
Of course, Uzui found this funny while Himejima found it pituful.
Tanjirou tried to break free and Iguro pressed him more making Tomioka step up and take his hand away from Tanjirou's back because Iguro will just end up killing him by this point.
Tanjirou was a panting mess and he tried to get up a little bit.
"Nezuko!"
Nezuko took out the bottle that she used as keychain with her names engraved and held it tightly in her hand. She then proceeds to look away from Sanemi's bleeding arm.
"What happened?"
"Even though Shinazugawa cut himself three times and trust his arm in front of her, she held herself back and didn't even bother to bite him.
"And that's the proof that Nezuko will not attack humans right there."
Oyakata added with a smile while everyone else where surprised.
"You just have to prove from this point on that Nezuko and you will help with the battle against demons."
Tanjirou couldn't help but feel relaxed by his voice. Tanjirou was surprised that just by hearing him he felt relaxed.
"Defeat the twelve Demons and everyone will acknowledge you."
"I… NEZUKO AND I WILL DEFEAT KIBUTSUJI MUZAN! DEFINITELY NEZUKO AND I!! WILL WIELD OUR SWORDS AND CUT THE CHAINS OF AGONY!!"
"You can't defeat him as you are now Tanjirou, so first defeat the 12 demons' moons."
"Yes sir…"
The love pillar couldn't contain her laughter at seeing tanjirou so red. While the others were in the same dilemma, they wanted to laugh their asses off while Oyakata-sama was explaining to Tanjirou what it takes to beat the 12 demon moons and to be a pillar."
"Y-yes sir…"
"Sanemi, Obanai do not bully the younger ones too much."
"As you command…"
"So, it's time to begin the pillar meeting. It's time to end talking about Tanjiro here and give the welcome to The Tenth Pillar who for the first time will be joining us today."
The pillars all gazed towards Oyakata-Sama words, everyone present couldn't even speak. They will finally meet you. The tenth Pillar.
As he said this, the trees started to move and the wind got strong. All the pillar felt goosebumps in their back as they touched their swords. The sudden pressure they felt was immaculate. All the crows where seen running and crying. The pillars started to sweat and their knees gave down. They were all in the floor and couldn't move an inch from their spots.
"Oyakata-sama… r-run…"
They couldn't move, it felt like they were being pushed back by an unseen aura. They could barely speak. Tanjirou saw this with open eyes. He didn't feel anything or any pressure making him stay in the floor as the pillars felt. Before he knew it, someone was in front of Oyakata-sama. Not an inch of this person's body could be seen, not even his face.
"This smell!"
The sudden smell filled his nostrils, he couldn't take his eyes from you.
"O-OYAKATA-SAMA!"
The pillars could only see at the person in front of them. Such a person could give away such an aura. They were scared, they couldn't move. They were worried. Are they enemy?
"(Y/n), The tenth Pillar, presents themselves in front of Oyakata-sama as per your wishes to see me."
All the pillars and Tanjirou gasped. Finally they met the person behind Oyakata-sama's smile. Tanjirou started to cry while Nezuko tried to get closer to that person but couldn't because of the sun.
"CAW CAW! SUCH DISRECPECTFUL BRATS. PUT YOUR SHIT ASS SWORD AWAY AND BOW TO (Y/N)-SAMA. YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO SEE SUCH A MAGNIFICENT PERSON IN YOUR SORRY SHITTY LIVES!"
"Tammy."
"CAW, CAW!"
Tammy flew to your shoulder at your command but not without giving a dirty look to the pillars. The pillars could finally move, yet they were shivering and bowing while looking at you.
"(Y/n)."
Oyakata-sama called your name in such a sweet manner, then, with the help of his daughters, he stood up and grabbed your face that was being covered with a mask.
"Kagaya… I am home."
"Yes, you are finally home."
