Hizashi Yamada vs. the demon horde
Chapter three: Come on dude, it should of been obvious
Hizashi, leading Aizawa, Sekijiro, Cementoss, and Hound Dog, were all chasing after the demons Zenitsu and Inosuke, who had kidnapped the (mostly) depowered Muzan in order to bring him to Nezuko, their patron lady and new lord of all demons after taking most of Muzan's strength and vast powers somehow. "Dudes, we can't let them get away with Muzan!" Hizashi said, wielding his Nichirin Sword as he ran in the lead of the group, "His life is in danger!"
"If we can get those demons to stand still for a moment," Cementoss said, "I can trap them with my quirk! But they're jumpier than Sekijiro's student Monoma was whenever he went on about his anti- class 1-A propaganda!"
Sighing, Sekijiro said, "Don't remind me how Aizawa and I had recently lost most of our res-"
"ACK!" Zenitsu cried out as he tripped somewhat, able to avoid falling over completely. But that momentary distraction was all that Cementoss needed to trap Zenitsu and Inosuke in cement, allowing the heroes to rescue Muzan. Hizashi as also able to go in an collect the Nichirin Swords that the Demon Slayers now demons had on their persons.
Holding the Nichirin Swords, Hizashi said, "Isn't it weird how demons were carrying a few copies of the one weapon capable of killing them for good?"
"Pretty reckless, yes," Aizawa agreed as he, Sekijiro, and Hound Dog each collected a Nichirin Sword from Hizashi; Aizawa got the one Zenitsu had, while Sekijiro and Hound Dog each got one of the ones Inosuke had.
Aizawa raised his Nichirin sword up, but stopped short when a female voice called out, "Hold it! I can turn them back into humans!" The heroes and Muzan all turned to see it as a female demon came walking out of the shadows. Said female demon gave Muzan a wry look. "...To think that you of all people are now on the side of good, Muzan," the female demon said, "Or that you had actually survived the efforts that killed you centuries ago."
Muzan returned the female demon's look with a likewise one of his own. "...Tamayo." Straightening up, Muzan went on, "It certainly has been ages, since you and I were on the same page."
"Your own hubris is what had led to all of this, Muzan," Tamayo admonished, "But seeing as how you've been reduced to a shell of your former self, with most of your vast strength and array of powers and abilities taken from you, I suppose you've been given one of the things you've needed for ages." The lady demon took a step forward, her eyes fixated firmly on Muzan. "A well deserved serving of humble pie."
"Oi, Hizashi's demon friend," Aizawa began, "You know this lady?"
Muzan nodded in the affirmative. "Her name is Tamayo. She's a demon pharmacist who has developed a number of drugs, including one that can turn a human who was turned into a demon back into a human." Giving Tamayo a wry look, Muzan said, "I'm surprised you survived being killed."
"Look who's talking," Tamayo replied as she took out a few injection needles, "Anyway, these needles contain doses of the drug to turn demons back into humans. We can use them on the two demons that are trapped by that strange liquid rock power."
"You mean the blocky human's cement powers," Muzan said while gesturing to Cementoss, "Truly, the blocky human is invaluable in saving the day here." Cementoss allowed himself a bit of a smug, self-amused smirk as Tamayo went over and injected both Zenitsu and Inosuke with the drugs, making them cry out a bit as the drugs took hold.
After both of them thrashed uselessly against their cement prisons, the boys settled down, all traces of demon stuff in their respective persons having been totally annihilated. Zenitsu and Inosuke, now both once again fully human, looked up at the heroes. "...Ow, my head's killing me," Inosuke said. Looking to the heroes, Inosuke spotted Sekijiro and Hound Dog. "Oi, you fuckers! Those are my swords!"
"Ah! Is that Muzan?!" Zenitsu exclaimed, "What is he doing here?! I thought he was dead! Is this hell?!"
"Easy, easy," Muzan said, "I'm on your side now. ...Well, you're on our side now since you two were turned from demons back into humans. It's a long and complicated story."
Shrugging the best he can against the cement trap still holding him, Inosuke said, "I got time."
"But we don't!" Hizashi said, "Look, some demon chick named Nezuko tried to-"
"Nezuko-chan's a demon again?!" Zenitsu exclaimed, "What the fuck did you do, Muzan?!"
"SHUT IT!" Aizawa exclaimed at the top of his lungs, making everyone go silent. With all eyes on him, the underground hero went on, "...Look, we'll explain everything later. For now, the long story made short is that this Nezuko girl tried kidnapping Muzan in order to take some of his blood and mix it with some of her own to inject said mixture into the dead body of a certain someone who she wants to return to life."
Pointing to Zenitsu and Inosuke, Sekijiro said, "You two were demons sent to capture Muzan, but we were able to trap you, then inject you both with a drug that turned you back info being humans."
Looking at Zenitsu and Inosuke, Muzan said, "Actually, these two here are two of the certain persons who Nezuko wanted to bring back. There's one certain person left-"
"It's gotta be Sudoku!" Inosuke declared, "Me, Zitsitso here, and Sudoku traveled with Sudoku's little sister way back in the day! She must of wanted all three of us back!"
"My name is pronounced Zenitsu!" Zenitsu snapped, "Zen-it-su! Zenitsu! And our pal's name isn't Sudoku, it's Tanjiro!"
Hizashi looked surprised by the mention of the name that Zenitsu said just now. He placed the edge of his Nichirin Sword against Zenitsu's throat. "That Tanjiro guy you mentioned. He's the same as the one my bud Muzan told me about," Hizashi said, "Tell me everything you know about Tanjiro."
"Everything relevant to what we're doing, preferably," Aizawa clarified.
Giving Hizashi a wry look, Zenitsu said, "You do know you don't have to threaten me. I'll gladly talk." Shrugging, Hizashi pulled the Nichirin Sword away and prompted Zenitsu to start talking. "Tanjiro is Nezuko-chan's older brother. It figures that if Nezuko-chan wanted to bring back three certain persons, and that Inosuke and I were two of three certain persons, then Tanjiro has to be the third and final certain person."
"Where can we find this Nezuko chick?" Hizashi asked.
"Maybe if we go to where Nezuko-chan and Tanjiro's ancestral home in the mountains is located, it might give us a clue," Zenitsu offered. At Hizashi's instructions, Cementoss freed Zenitsu and Inosuke from the cement traps. The two Demon Slayers who regained their humanity then took back their respective weapons, with Inosuke saying he needed both of his swords. With everyone ready, they took off to their next destination, with Zenitsu and Inosuke leading the way.
...
A short while later, the group arrived at the Kamado family home up in the mountains. Upon the group's arrival, Hizashi asked, "Where's the john? I need to bleed the lizard."
"I need to take a shit," Inosuke stated, raising a hand.
"Hizashi, use a tree," Aizawa replied. After Hizashi went off and Zenitsu directed Inosuke to the toilet, Aizawa said, "So Zenitsu, what are we looking for?"
Looking around, Zenitsu answered, "Anything that can point us in the right direction to Nezuko-cha-"
"AHH!" Muzan cried out, making everyone turn to see him getting pulled away by a demon girl with long dark hair, and she wore a mostly pink kimono under a dark colored kimono top.
Pointing at the demon girl, Sekijiro asked, "You think she knows where to find Nezuko?"
"That is Nezuko-chan!" Zenitsu exclaimed.
Having heard Zenitsu speak up, the now identified Nezuko looked around until she spotted him. "Zenitsu-kun?" Nezuko said, "How are you human again?"
"I used the demon-to-human drug on him to turn him back into a human," Tamayo spoke up, getting Nezuko to turn to look at her.
"...Then..." Nezuko began, "...Then is Ino-"
"Hoo boy!" Inosuke called out as he walked into the clearing, "I swear taking that dump made me lose a few kilos! My pants feel kind of loose now that I bri-" Inosuke stopped short upon seeing Nezuko holding Muzan hostage. "It's Kaijudo's sister Nayamo!" Inosuke exclaimed.
"It's Tanjiro and Nezuko, you idiot," Hound Dog pointed out.
Walking out into the clearing from behind some trees, Hizashi said while zipping his pants up, "What did I miss?"
Pointing to where Nezuko was holding Muzan hostage, Aizawa said, "Well your demon pal there is being held hostage by this Nezuko demon girl we've been hearing about so often, although she hasn't done much after seeing that Zenitsu and Inosuke are both human again."
Turning to look at Nezuko, Hizashi snapped, "Oi, bitch! Let Muzan go!"
"Don't call Nezuko-chan a bitch!" Zenitsu snapped at the loud pro hero, "She is a lovely and beautiful princess is what she is!"
"Shut it, Simp-itsu," Hizashi said while waving a hand at the blonde Demon Slayer, not even turning to look at him as he was focused solely on Muzan being held hostage by Nezuko.
Inosuke actually chuckled a bit while pointing at Hizashi. "Simp-itsu. That's a good one. I gotta keep that in mind for the future."
To Nezuko, Hizashi said in a warning tone, "You had better let Muzan go, or I swear to Kami above that I will bring the pain!"
Nezuko looked to Hizashi, then back to where Zenitsu and Inosuke stood. She looked back and forth between the two parties before settling back on Hizashi. "...I still want to bring Tanjiro back to life," Nezuko began, "But doing so will result in him returning as a demon. But you've turned Inosuke and Zenitsu-kun back into humans after I brought them back as demons." Nezuko kept her grip on Muzan tight. "...If I agree to let Muzan live, can you turn Tanjiro back into a human after I bring him back as a demon?"
"That can easily be arranged," Tamayo said, holding up an injection needle full of the demon-to-human drug.
...
Muzan emptied a pint of his blood into a pan, which Nezuko poured some of her blood into before mixing it. Taking the mixture, Nezuko went into another room before saying, "I'll need privacy for this part." Nezuko then closed the door behind her, letting the others wait outside for a few moments with no one but themselves to talk to.
Looking around, Muzan said, "So, Boar Mask Fellow." When Inosuke looked to him, Muzan said, "You say you lost a few kilos simply by taking a dump."
"It felt that powerful to me, yeah," Inosuke said.
"Hizashi once claimed he took a fifteen kilo dump after having dinner at a cheap all you can eat Mexican buffet," Aizawa remarked, "It was bar none the gr-"
*CRASH*
Aizawa was cut off when a feral and demonic Tanjiro came bursting out of the room that Nezuko had gone into, with Nezuko chasing after him. As demon Tanjiro snarled at Hizashi and the others, Cementoss quickly trapped him with a big blob of cement. While demon Tanjiro thrashed against the prison he suddenly found himself in, Tamayo went over and injected some of the demon-to-human drug into him.
The drug kicked in, and after all traces of demon-isim in him was destroyed, Tanjiro hung his head for a moment before looking up. "...Why is Muzan here?" Tanjiro asked, "Where am I?"
"It's a long story that will take nearly three chapters worth of content to get through," Hizashi began, "But long story short is that you and your friends and your sister are alive again."
Tanjiro continued to look at Hizashi. "...And Muzan-"
"-Barely has any strength and powers left and is effectively harmless," Muzan spoke up, "Believe it or not, but your sister was the ultimate antagonist of this whole situation, and I was merely one of her victims."
Tanjiro turned to look at Muzan. Even a person as pure hearted as Tanjiro couldn't help but smirk at Muzan in amusement. "How does that humble pie taste, Muzan?" Scowling, Muzan flipped Tanjiro the middle finger, as that basically was all that he really could do to the re-humanfied Demon Slayer.
Speaking of re-humanfying, Nezuko voluntarily took a dose of the demon-to-human drug, and after a shaking experience, Nezuko became human again. Muzan was also offered the same, but he politely turned it down. "Well now, I think that we can all rest easy," Hizashi said, "Now that all of us had basically gotten what we wan-"
"Oh!" Nezuko spoke up, "What about the others I brought back as demons while I was still one myself?"
Shrugging, Sekijiro said, "Hizashi already killed those two. I don't think we have to worry-"
"-What about the other sixty-nine persons I had brought back to life as demons aside from those two, Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu-kun?" Nezuko asked.
The humans, as well as even Muzan and Tamayo, all looked at Nezuko. "...Fuck my life," Aizawa said, his tone and expression both saying what he had said with words just now.
END, CHAPTER THREE
Author's notes;
I mean, it WAS pretty obvious that the third one was going to be Tanjiro. Anyway, the main bulk of conflict has been remedied, but there's still some clean up that the heroes have to do. Luckily, they now have three experienced Demon Slayers to help out with the problem, so it'll be a quick job to clean up shop. The next chapter will be the last one for this story, but I'll hint at the next installment near the end, so don't turn that dial.
