GYUTARO BRUTAL VICTORY Location the Demon Slayer-verse, Japan-Mount Natagumo: Forest Spot, near a River
In a night covered, wilderness. A demon and devil were in the middle of a battle. Gyutaro was beating down on Rui. As one thing that he wanted to test. Is if his poison, can affect demons. And by Rui constantly, coughing up blood and showing signs of poisoning. As Gyutaro kicked Rui on his chin. Knocking the spider demon back. Making him spewing out blood. Gyutaro smiled, as he quickly slashed Rui across the chest. In a x-pattern. Upon landing his attack. Rui chest burst out with blood. After a bit he and his clothes regenerated. But he was poisoned even further. When Rui finally managing to gain some distance from Gyutaro. He tried another of his techniques. Using his Murderous Eye Basket technique. Rui spread his hand, creating a giant net made out of spider threads. A spherical cage from his threads around Gyutaro, as it was continuously shrinking to cuts the traitor to pieces. Gyutaro didn't fright. He us his Flying Blood Sickles. He released, multiple sharp and sickle-shaped blades of blood. Blasting them everywhere. Slicing easily throughout Rui's Murderous Eye Basket. A swift moment, small blood sickle burst out of Rui's spherical cage. Then these blood sickles, soar at Rui. With a look of pure shock. Rui was sliced apart with blood made, flying blades. Each slash, causing great amount of damage. Along with poisoning him, more and more. His pale face, now looked a sickly purple. Then Gyutaro appeared again, in front of him. With his kama in mid-swing, aimed right at the neck of Rui. Feeling a sense of dread. Like a nichirin blade, at the edge of his neck. This fear, made Rui decapitated himself again. Barely avoiding death, cause Gyutaro didn't use his full power. When Rui did this...Gyutaro he lost interest, once again appearing when Rui's head is. A kama by the head. Looking a Rui like a insect, saying, "Man talk about a let down. Even thou your losing, you can have some dignity kid. Since you don't want to fight. (picking up Rui's decapitated head, and headless body, he whined-up.) Then go die, by their hands instead!!!" Throwing both Rui's body parts, across the forest area. Rui screamed. As he's body and head, soared across the area. Heading straight toward a clearing, the spot he fought with the birthmarked guy, and the demon girl.
WATER & INSECT HASHIRA OVERWHELMED Giyu arrived to a clearing. Finding the injured Tanjiro. With Nezuko checking on him. Giyu while he didn't show it on his face. He was glad, that the Kamado siblings are alright. Before Tanjiro could greet, Mr. Tomioka. When emerging from the nearby forest. Came Rui's separated and poisoned body, crashing onto the clearing. Groaning in pain. Rui reattached his head. Still sickly and poisoned. He focus and anger was aimed, at Gyutaro. Giyu sensed that while this demon, isn't a average level. This demon is a ranked one. So he attacked, getting as close as he needed. To use a technique of his own creation. When Rui realized the danger, Giyu struck. Manifesting a wild tide, which he spoke, "Water Breathing; Eleventh Form: Dead Calm" and that vast pool. Became absolutely still, and calm. Giyu enters a state of complete tranquility, attacking in such a unimportant speed. That Rui never realized that he has been beheaded. Thus starting his process of death. Just like canon. Rui blocked memories of his origins...of his parents came rushing back. And at the final moment, he was reunited with his mother and father. Willing to go to hell with him, so they can remain together. As Tanjiro gave Rui his last moments of peace. Danger quickly appeared. A girl. A slayer that immediately went to attack and slay poor Nezuko. She's Kanao Tsuyuri. Kanao is a young woman of short stature, with large and gentle eyes. She has medium-length, thin raven-black hair. Which is tied into a side ponytail on the right of her head and fastened by a green butterfly ornament, with a pink trim on the wings. Kanao is wearing a slightly purple-tinted variation of the standard Demon Slayer uniform. Her uniform is customized with a knee-length pleated skirt in the same tinted color, secured with a white belt around her waist. Draped over her uniform, she wears a short white cloak, fastened on one side by a dark pink triple knot. With a pair of knee-high lace-up white boots. But before she could strike her target, Giyu blocked Kanao's blade. Then came the Insect Hashira, Shinobu. Seeing her adopted little sister, and tsuguko. Being blocked by Giyu. While Shinobu didn't show, anger on her face, she was clearly pissed. Seeing what Giyu is protecting a demon. She struck at Nezuko. But then, Tanjiro sensed the danger incoming. Fighting through his pain, and injuries. He pushed Nezuko out of the attack, and even managed to help Mr. Tomioka. By knocking him and Kanao onto the ground. As Kanao was looking at Nezuko, Tanjiro told her to run. To run and keep herself safe. Doing as her brother said, she started running towards the forest. In response Kanao knocked out Tanjiro, with a kick to the skull. As she was about to chase after Nezuko. A sudden chill ran through all of those, within the clearing. Even Nezuko stopped running. Rushing over to stand beside her brother, the veins around eyes bulging. Her nails turning to claws. Moaning some sound, as her mussle prevents her from talking...or better said biting, since Nezuko can't speak yet. Giyu and Shinobu stopped directing their animosity to each other. Instead they reached for their respected blade. With Kanao, turning her blade away from Nezuko. All four of them on guard. As they all heard some laughing. Soon a demon with wavy, dark hair with lime green tips. Yellow eyes, shining in the dark. A tall, gaunt but clearly strong demon, holding a pair of flesh kama. As he laughed, he spoke, "Well, well. That little spider brat is dead already. Still don't get, why that asshole of Kabutsuchi cared so much for that brat?" Gyutaro stopped walking once he was in the clearing. Scratching his head, at his right temple area. Kanao was about to move. Hoping that she can give her sister, a chance to take down this demon. But the moment, she made a slight twitch. Gyutaro glared at her. Enshrouding her in killer intent...or more specifically a slight magic burst. And since the closest thing to magic in this world, being Blood Demon Arts. They can't comprehend actual demonic magic, so the best they compare is killer intent. Gyutaro watched three slayer, and co-protagonist. The demon girl, Nezuko Kamado. Gyutaro watched this, and his admiration of the Kamado siblings. Heck it because of Tanjiro, that he was destined to lose. But that's no longer his fate. Regardless. In honesty aside saving Aya, now safely with his brothers and friends watch. He wanted to see, how he stack up. No longer possessing demon weaknesses, and if he's able to be effective against demons. The answer...yes he is. Now he just wants to have a little fun, until the Demon Slayer Corp, makes the announcement to bring Tanjiro and Nezuko to the Corp. And more than likely sent more slayers to the mountain. As Gyutaro stopped scratching his temple. Smiling at these Hashira, and frozen tsuguko. Moving faster than anyone can track, he appeared in from of Kanao. His fingers pressed on her forehead. With a light pulse of devil mind magic. Kanao was rendered completely unconscious. Falling onto the ground. This shocked and enraged Shinobu, seeing her last family member and pupil in danger. Shinobu didn't hesitate.
Taking a breathe, she used one of her breathing techniques on Gyutaro. As long as she can land a hit. It didn't matter that her enemy was stronger, her poisons will handle the rest. A dragonfly manifesting around Shinobu blade. As she spoke out the name of her technique, " Insect Breathing; Dance of the Dragonfly: Compound Eye Hexagon!!" She rushed forward at Gyutaro. And unleashed six rapid, bur powerful thrusts. Aiming to strike at six weak points of Gyutaro's body. And inject him with multiple doses of poison. But Gyutaro did something never done to Shinobu before, instead of blocking or dodging her attack. He lazily reach and grabbed her sword. Utterly stopping her attack cold. Gyutaro didn't even spared her glance. As Shinobu is doing everything in her power to land a cut. But not only would her blade not budge, but also not cut either. At that time, Giyu attacked. Hoping to save Shinobu and the others. Taking a breathe, as water burst out his mouth and blade. As he spoke out his technique, "Water Breathing; First Form: Water Surface Slash." Giyu rushes forward. Generating enough momentum to deliver a powerful single concentrated, water slash. Aiming at the demon's head, while avoiding to hit anyone else. Gyutaro didn't block or evade this attack either. Nor did he went to grab the blade, like he's doing with Shinobu. Who on seeing what Giyu is doing, she improvised. Delivering a angled kick to Gyutaro back. As her sandal sprung a hidden blade from the back, also laced in wisteria poison. But as soon as the foot-blade, came in contact with Gyutaro it shattered. Unable to scratch Gyutaro's aura. At that time. Giyu, he connected his Water Surface Slash. Slashing Gyutaro's neck. But upon connecting with Gyutaro, Giyu's blade also shattered. Shocking both Hashira. It been some time that either, were dominated like this. Let alone lose their weapons, in such a manner. Because Gyutaro with a little pressure, he crushed Shinobu's stinger blade into shards. Then Gyutaro grabbed both Hashira by their collar, lifting them and slaming them down. He then sat on Giyu's back, and placed his legs on Shinobu back. Applying enough force, so he can keep them pinned. As he stared at the defensive Nezuko. Growling and glaring at him. Gyutaro smile, as he stabbed his kama beside him. And rested his chin on his left fist. Looking at Nezuko he spoke out loud, "Just so you all know. She's special. A demon close to gaining her humanity back." shocking the pinned hashira. Gyutaro was using this opportunity to advance the plot, or much better skip it. Explaining that some demons can evolve, without depending on human flesh and blood. Just like himself and his family. Reaching levels that even Muzan himself, would do anything to obtain. Looking down at Shinobu, he told her, "We're watching over little Nezuko, so protect the little girl. Less you miss, your only chance to track down that coward Muzan." Getting off the Hashira. Gyutaro tapped the heads of both Shinobu and Giyu. Delivering a small pulse of devil mind magic, through them both. Leaving them all unconscious. Giving Nezuko one last glance, he waved her goodbye. Walking off to the wilderness. Later came the kakushi, recovering all the victims of the Spider Family. Finding Inosuke, Zenitsu, and then Kanao, Tanjiro, Giyu, and Shinobu. With Nezuko watching over them all. Then came the messenger crows, reporting that their to bring Tanjiro and Nezuko Kamado, back to the Corp safely. Seeing that it's order from the master, the kakushi...carefully secured Nezuko. Along with the down slayers, and hashira. All the while. Higher up the mountain, watching over everything is Gyutaro with Kyoko-nee. He has taken to call of Laharl-nii wives, and Daki's sisters. His own sisters as well. Satisfied that the plot was deviated for a better outcome with Aya is alive and free. Plus the main protagonist, began his path to unlock his greatest abilities. The Hinogami Kagura or Sun Breathing, and grow closer to obtaining the Demon Slayer Mark. With everything done, Kyoko patted Gyutaro's back. Making Gyutaro chuckle. As it was time to go back home. With word that "evolve-demons" spreading. Both Muzan and the Corp, are gonna be hectic for a while. Gyutaro could already picture it. Muzan must be going crazy, suddenly getting editted visions or Rui and his "family's" defeat. The possibility of sun breathing to return, and a new rival faction emerging. It'll drive the paranoid, megalomaniac, absolutely crazy. But that isn't their problem. Gyutaro already pushed the plot forward, had his fun and left some hints to Muzan. On what happened to him and Daki, after Laharl-nii. Got them out of this world, and gave them better lives. Now...yawning, Gyutaro expressed he's tired and hungry. With Kyoko agreeing. Telling Gyutaro that is Nero's turn to cook. Laughing they both disappeared, going back home in a teleportation circle flashing into the night.
