Animeverse Slayer!

Wind Hashira's training grounds.

Slayers were hard at work trying to dodge what seems to be a human skinned beast. Their faces were pale as they faced off against Sanemi.

After several rounds of nonstop thrashing Sanemi called it a day and returned to his room.

Genya, Sanemi's brother walked to his room. He came to a halt and hesitated to step in.

"What the f.u.c.k do you want?"

Sanemi already sensed his brother and asked carelessly.

Genya was taken back and didn't know what to say, "I...

"If you are here to mumble, just f.u.c.k off otherwise I will break your legs."

Sanemi glared at his brother.

Genya looked down, he finally found that last bit of courage and said, "Sorry... I... that day, for calling you mother's murderer... sorry."

Sanemi looked at his brother and walked out. Genya wasn't discouraged when he saw his brother walk out without a word, instead he was relieved.

Sanemi left his manor and walked down the stone steps.

Fool.

Who!?

His figure flashed and rushed into the woods. He reached out and grabbed towards that presence.

He caught what he sensed. He opened his palm and took a look at what it was.

It was a bug with a weird eye on it's head. Sanemi was startled for a moment, his eyes widened in shock. His heart felt unsettled as a dangerous thought occurred to him.

Sanemi turned around and rushed off towards the Ubuyashiki manor.

Oyakata-sama!

...

Giyu, Sabito and Momoka were with Tanjiro and Inosuke.

"Where is Zenitsu?"

Giyu didn't find Zenitsu with Tanjiro and Inosuke. He found it odd since these three were always together.

"Big brother Leo called for him."

"Leo?"

Sabito suddenly remembered and asked, "Speaking of Leo, where is he? I haven't seen him today."

Tanjiro shook his head, "I also don't know."

"Hm..."

Sabito rubbed his chin and was lost in thought. Suddenly he frowned, not only him the others also showed a weird expression.

All of them vanished and returned in a second. They all had a weird bug in their hand.

"What the heck?"

Giyu was startled when he saw the true appearance of the bug.

Oyakata-sama!

Not only them all the other Hashiras also felt the evil intent in the air. Having gone through countless battles they knew this was bad.

All of them rushed towards the Ubuyashiki manor.

Meanwhile...

"You have finally come, Muzan."

Kagaya who was bandaged from head to toe spoke serenely. His voice was weak but his words were clear.

Amane, his wife accompanied him. She gently helped him sit up.

That movement caused the bandages to come loose. The gaps between it showed wrinkled old skin. It looked as if his flesh was rotting.

"Ubuyashiki... you have been a thorn on my side for far too long."

Kagaya didn't respond and asked his wife, "Amane, what form is he in?"

Amane looked up at Muzan and said, "He looks young with black curly hair and peach coloured eyes, however his pupils are like a cat's."

Muzan stoically said, "What a wretched sight Ubuyashiki."

Kagaya found no offense in his words, "This is divine retribution. A thousand year ago a demon came out of our family, that demon is you Muzan. You and I have the same blood."

Muzan scoffed, "What, trying to appeal to my sympathy?"

Kagaya lightly laughed, "Haha, no. You have taken thousands of lives, I wouldn't dare call myself your family. Your sins are far too great. The heavens will never accept you."

Muzan sneered, "I don't need the heavens acceptance."

Kagaya nodded, "I know. Because of your sin, the children born in our family were cursed. Before they reached five all of them would die, at one point in time the Ubuyashiki line was close to extinction."

"Fortunately, a priest gave us a way out, a solution to this curse, you! As long as we kill you this curse will be lifted. For generations we have married from the temple to grant us protection."

"Thanks to that the children born after were able to extend their feeble life for a couple more decades, long enough to prepare the next generation. Their one and only goal was to kill you."

Muzan smiled with disdain, "And yet here I am."

Kagaya nodded, "Yes, here you are. I know your reason for being here but it will never happen."

"You done? Let me sent you on your way."

Amane only blinked once and Muzan disappeared. He was now standing beside Kagaya, his hands were raised, his nails grew larger, looking like a demonic claw.

Kagaya's eyes were already devoid of light and yet he raised his head and stared at Muzan.

Muzan felt as if he was being stared at by a viper. Those lifeless eyes evoked a sense of danger inside his heart.

What's happening? He is nothing but a weak dying human. Then why do I feel as if I am being coiled around by a venomous snake.

Kagaya suddenly started to laugh while coughing out blood.

"For a thousand year we have waited, for a thousand year we have suffered, for a thousand year hundreds, thousands of younglings died to protect humanity."

"That all ends tonight."

"When dawn breaks these lands will welcome a new era...

"An era without darkness...

"An era without you!"

Kagaya laughed loudly, his body couldn't handle the strain and fell down. Blood started to drip from his mouth.

Muzan felt that vague sense of danger get stronger and stronger. Suddenly his expression changed.

Damn Ubuyashiki!

Bbbbooooommmm!

An earth rendering explosion took place swallowing the Ubuyashiki manor in a sea of flames.

The Hashiras were rushing over when they saw a cloud of smoke rise from the manor direction.

Their hearts tightened as dread flooded their mind which turned into anger, hatred and grief.

Oyakata-sama!
