Kidnapper

lmost 4 months have passed since Rengoku's death.

Almost 4 months have passed since Netsu became the flame hashira.

Most days we trained, but when crows came with instructions…

We took a break and went to battle demons.

Zenitsu stopped whining, even when he had to go on missions alone.

Kage stopped acting like a crackhead, and actually started to help the injured instead of cheering them on to get more hurt.

Inosuke and Taiyo became more reckless than before.

"LETS RUN UNTIL OUR BONES CRUMBLE!!" inosuke yelled

"C'MON GUYS!" taiyo yelled

Hoshi seems more beat up than usual...

"Are you okay?" kuki asked

"Hm? Oh me! Yep, I'm definitely fine...definitely not training with an insane hashira who doesn't know what a limit is, heheh!" hoshi said

Then she ran away

Tanjiro is...the same

And finally, shizen…

She didn't change much either...though she does spend more time with shinobu...

Even though I got less time to sleep… it's nice to not be alone…

I guess.

"AHHH!" someone screamed

What the?

I just came back from a mission and I hear screaming for no reason…

IS KAGE EATING SHIZEN'S GOLDFISH AGAIN?

Kuki ran up to the entrance of butterfly mansion only to be greeted by the hashira of sound…

Kidnapping Aoi and sumi

"LET ME GO! I...I SAID…"

"You're too noisy. So, shut up" the pillar said

"KANAO!" aoi yelled

She just stood there.

The pillar started to walk away

"K-KANAO!"

Then kanao ran up to the pillar and tried to grab aoi and sumi.

"Don't be such a bore. You got orders earlier, didn't you?"

"..."

"SAY SOMETHING! YOU STUCK UP PIG!" the pillar yelled

"CHAAAARGE!" Naho and Kiyo yelled before climbing on the pillar as an "attack"

"HEY! KNOCK IT OFF!" the pillar yelled

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! YOU LITTLE PERV! LET THEM GO" kuki yelled

The he stopped

Wait…

Are they swarming him?

Or is he kidnapping them…

Who caught who?

"KIDNAPPER! HELP US!" sumi yelled

"YOU LITTLE BRAT!" the pillar yelled

Kuki went in to throw some kind of pebble at him-

Which ended with him falling on his face, and the pillar in another place.

"Are you all right?" kiyo asked

"I'm fine…"

"Idiot. I am Tengen Uzui, a former ninja. I'm well known in that world. Do you think I'd let you hit me with a pebble?!"

"LET GO OF AOI AND SUMI, YOU KIDNAPPER!!"

"YEAH YEAH!!"

"WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA?!"

"PERVERT"

"WHY YOU...GRRR! YOU TALKIN' TO ME?! GRRR! I'M YOUR SUPERIOR OFFICER! I'M A HASHIRA, YOU JERK!"

"I don't recognize you as a hashira...hmph!" kuki said

"DON'T 'HMPH' ME!! SO WHAT IF YOU DON'T RECOGNIZE ME?! YOU'RE JUST AN UNDERLING! HAS YOUR BRAIN BEEN EXPLODED?! I NEED A CORPS MEMBER FOR A MISSION, SO I'M TAKING HER! SHE ISNT A TSUGUKO, SO I DON'T NEED KOCHO'S PERMISSION!"

"hey, uzui, Ubuyashiki-sama assign-" netsu stopped

And stared.

"Uzui...what are you doing?"

"Kidnapping these girls" kuki said

"You do know sumi isn't a corps member...right?"

"Then i don't need her"

Uzui threw sumi down from the roof, and kuki caught her.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING, YOU BRUTE!" kuki yelled

"WAAAH HE DROPPED ME!" sumi cried

"For now, I'm taking her on a mission. She doesn't look useful, but she's basically a corps member."

"Oh, didn't you hear? Ubuyashiki assigned me to work together with you...well I agreed...as long as I brought a couple of helping hands...so you don't need aoi." netsu said

"Really? How many reinforcements"

Netsu took a couple of seconds to count.

"Well...including me..it would be 9 in total"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Whatever…"

"So…? Where are we going?" Kage asked

"The flashiest place in Japan, steeped lust and avarice." Uzui said

The group turned to him in confusion

"It's an entertainment district where demons dwell"
