Meeting the Master

When he came out, I spun around and bowed. I wasn't about to get my head smacked into the ground like Tanjiro. Speaking of which, Tanjiro didn't notice that everyone was bowing. I saw Sanemi start moving but I beat him to the punch. My arm lashed out and grabbed Tanjiro by the head and forced him to bow.

Sanemi quickly greeted him, talking all formal like. Stuck up. I mentally gave Sanemi the middle finger (again). What freaked me out was the fact that Sanemi seemed to growl at me after I did that. What the Fuck!?! He's like Michael Jacks- oops I mean Muzan. Those two look to similar. I turned my head slightly and looked at him.

Shit! he is pissed. He was looking at me like I was a demon and looked like he would chop my head off at any second. I slowly turned back to look at their master.

'Oyakata-sama' what the Hashira's call him, calmly explained that he sanctioned Tanjiro and Nezuko and how that he knew that Tanjiro was traveling with a demon. "I ask that you accept them" he said to the Hashira. Many of them didn't except this.

Then the two girls that had come out with him (the two girls that I found creepy and that I thought looked like dolls from a horror movie) summarized a letter that came from Sakonji Urokodaki. I a huge fan of Demon Slayer, took a little bit to remember who that was.

In the letter it talked about how Nezuko has never eaten a human and if she did that himself, Tanjiro, and Giyu would all commit seppuku. Awhile back I made the mistake of looking it up. Basically, the person doing it, takes their sword, cuts open their stomach, and turns the sword upwards to make sure the wound is fatal. After that, I could not sleep.

The Hashira (Aka Sanemi) said that it didn't matter how they killed themselves. At this point I couldn't keep quite. "Nezuko will never hurt anyone!" I yelled. Everyone startled, even 'Oyakata-sama'. "Nezuko would never hurt anyone because for her, it would be like hurting her family. To her all humans are her family. She doesn't hurt them because she never lost her humanity."

Everyone was starring at me. I hugged Nezuko's box, holding it close, like it would comfort me. I closed my eyes, to try to slow down my breathing. After a minute of silence, 'Oyakata-sama' started to speak again. He told them that Tanjiro has met Kibutsuji. All of the Hashira started to ask Tanjiro questions at once. They even started to shake him to try to get answers.

" He only found him because he knew Muzan's sent" I let slip out , and they looked at me " The moment Tanjiro smelled it, he followed the sent. When he found him Muzan, caused a distraction. Later on, Muzan sent two demons to kill Tanjiro." I didn't mean to let all of that out but . . . I couldn't help myself.

That caused them to bombard me with questions, mostly on how I knew all of that. The Master got them to quite down within seconds. I'm so stupid, I made myself sus. I mean, I came out of nowhere, knowing how to use breathing techniques, kill a demon who is part of the twelve kizuki, and happen to know a lot about Muzan, even though I'm NOT a demon slayer.

That's when Sanemi got up and said that they needed proof that Nezuko wouldn't hurt anyone. I realized that he was going to try to stab Nezuko, as he started to walk in my direction. I put on Nezuko's box and started to back away. "I will't let you hurt Nezuko, and if you do manage to hurt her, I will kill you" I said to Sanemi. He got closer " hand over the box kid" he said with his hand out.

I blinked. Did this bitch just call me a kid? What I didn't realize, was that I said that out loud. I blinked again and he was gone. Oh shoot! He was behind me and before he could kick me, I some how managed to do a roundhouse kick, with a huge box on me. It hit him directly in the face. Then I delivered a quick blow but strong blow, to a part of his chest, knocking the air out of him.

I never really did hand to hand combat, even in my universe, but man, I knew how to take people down. To finish him off, I kicked him where it hurts (If you know what I mean). He dropped to the ground like a sack of potatoes (Hmmmm... Potatoes). "Please let him make his point" I froze and spun around to look at the leader of the demon slayers. Dang it . . . I guess there is no way out of it.

"Sorry Tanjiro, sorry Nezuko" I said. I turned to Sanemi and placed the box in front of him while he tried to pull himself together. As he looked at my face, I stuck my tongue out at him. He started to stab the box and went into the shade. Tanjiro started to move to save Nezuko, but the Serpent Hashira, Obanai Iguro, pined him to the ground. This made it hard for Tanjiro to move or breath.

I put one hand on the ground and pushed my self up while kicking Iguro. This sent him flying and Tanjiro took this chance to get as close to Nezuko as he could and yell at her to snap out of it. Nezuko chilled out and turned her head away from Sanemi. That was nerve racking.

After that whole thing was over, I thought that me, Tanjiro, and Nezuko, were going to get dragged to the Butterfly Estate. Nope, the leader of the demon slayers turned to my direction. Ah . . . shit. He want to talk about/to me too? "What is your name child?" he asked me.

"My name is Ivy sir" I said nervous. "How did you end up on that mountain?". "I don't know" I didn't want to completely lie so I told him a small bit of the truth "One moment, I was dying after saving my friend from getting killed, and the next I was there".

The air was tense. Maybe it was because of the fact that I said that I nearly died like it was no big deal and that it happened every day. "Could you tell me what happened on the mountain?" he asked calmly. I explained pretty much everything that happened from the moment I had ran to where the injured demon slayers where.

After the story was done, silence took the air for a second. "WHAT THE HELL IS MOON BREATHING!?!" all the Hashira yelled, making me flinch. By the looks of it even 'Oyakata-sama' didn't know what it was. I sighed as I started to explain. "Moon breathing was one of the first breaths created, It was based off of Sun breathing, and is one of the strongest styles."

"If that is the case, then who come that none of use have ever heard of it?" someone asked. "That is because the person that originally made it, was turned into a demon. Over the years he spent as a demon, he used his demon blood art to prefect Moon Breathing. He is the only one who uses Moon Breathing and he is the Upper Rank One of the twelve kizuki." I told them. Jaws dropped in awe.

"THAT DOES NOT EXPLAIN HOW YOU KNOW IT!" Sanemi screamed at me. "The only thing I can say is that I'm a special case". Before he could say anything else, 'Oyakata-sama' interrupted him. "How would you feel about becoming a demon slayer?" he asked me. My eye widened. He want me to be a demon slayer? Me?

"I would gladly become a demon slayer" I said emotionless, trying to hide how fricking happy I was. Sanemi tried to protest but it was to late, I was a demon slayer now.
