Trial Of The Demon Hunters Pillars

(Tanjiro's POV)

Pillars...?! What are pillars? What the heck? Who are these people? Where am I? Suddenly the same girl that Giyu stalled time for me to run away with Nezuko walks infront of me.

She says, 'Kamado Tanjiro-san. This is the headquarters of the demon hunters. You are on trial right now. Make yourself comfortable...'

(Narrator's POV)

Well pillars are the nine highest ranked swordsmen among the demon hunters Those who are of lower statues than the pillars may be killed at a frightening rate but they are different. The pillars are the ones sustaining the demon hunters. Once the pillars are all down. The whole japan is doom. Demon will be created non stop and mankind will be kill off so pillars are very important in the demon hunter corp.

(Tanjiro's POV)

The people infront of me started to introduce themselves.

The one wearing a flame haori says, 'I am Rengoku Kyoujurou, The Flame Hashira! There is no need for a trial here! Protecting demons is clearly a violation of conduct! We can deal with it by ourselves! We will decapitate every demons!'

A tall muscular young man with white hair also starts to introduce himself, 'I am Uzui Tengen, The Sound Hashira. Let me cut her head off flamboyantly. I will show you I can spray the blood more flamboyantly than anyone else. I will be a flamboyant flamboyance.'

A girl with pink long hair says, 'I am Kanroji Mitsuri, The Love Hashira. Eeeehhh... we are gonna kill such a cute girl? My chest hurts. Oh so much...'

A man that is the tallest among the pillars says, 'I am Himejima Gyoumei, The Rock Hashira. Ahhh... what a shoddy child she is. How sorrowful. It's so sorrowful that she was born into this world.'

The last one is a boy that is almost the same age as me says lazily, 'I am Tokitou Muichiro, The Mist Hashira. Eh... What were those clouds called again? What were they called?'

Gyoumei says, 'Lets kill her...'

The rest of the pillars agree with him, 'Yeah lets kill her. She will hurt innocent in the future! We can't let her live.'

I quickly realized that they were talking about Nezuko. I quickly look around to find Nezuko but she is nowwhere to be found! Where is she... Zenitsu, Inosuke... where are you guys?

Suddenly a voice is heard above a tree in the area, 'More importantly, what are we gonna do about Tomioka?' I immediately look up the tree and saw a man wearing bandages wrapped around his mouth and has a snake that wraps itself around his neck.

He continue saying, 'I am Iguro Obanai, The Snake Hashira. I have a headache seeing him not bound there. According to Kochou, Tomioka violated demon hunter conducts as well. How will we deal with him? How will we make him take responsibility? How are we gonna make him suffer?' Giyu just stands there ignoring everything he said.

The girl infront of me kneels down and says, 'Ne Tanjiro-san, I am Kochou Shinobu, The Insect Hashira. I want to hear this boy's story. Well, it's fine right? He followed me without causing a ruckus. Lets think of a punishment later.' I try to open my mouth to talk but I feel too painful and thirsty to talk.

Shinobu pulls out a bottle of liquid and says, 'You should get some water. You are injured so take your time to drink and please tell me. There is a painkiller in there so you will ease up a bit. It's not like it heals your injuries so don't push yourself too hard.'

I drink the bottle of liquid that she gave and my whole body feel much better than before.

I start to explain, 'My sister was turned into a demon but she has never eaten someone before. Up untill now and from now on. She will never hurt a living person.'

Iguro immediately cut my explanation, 'Don't spit out stupid rash remarks so recklessly. For starters, of course she would protect her family. I can't trust anything you are saying and I won't trust them.'

Gyoumei also says, 'Ahhhh... You're being obsessed with the demon. Lets kill this pitiful child quickly and release him from suffering.'

I immediately yell at them, 'Please listen! I became a swordsman to cure Nezuko! It's been two years since Nezuko became a demon and in that time Nezuko hasn't eaten a person!'

The Uzui guy replies, 'Your story is simply going around in circles. She hasn't eaten people and she won't eat people from now on. Don't just give lip service, give us more flamboyant explanation.'

The Love Hashira also says, 'Ummm... but I have a question... it doesn't seem like Oyakata-sama has grasp this situation yet. Can we deal with it on our own like this? We should wait until he arrives...' All the pillars just look at her in awkwardness.

I shout, 'My sister and I can fight together! We can fight to protect people as demon hunters! So!'

'Whoa whoa, this got somewhat interesting.' a man said walking toward me.

One of the kakushi warned him, 'Please don't, Shinazugawa-sama! Let go of the box please!'

I widens my eyes in shocked when I saw a tall, muscular, and slenderman with spiky white hair and large eyes. His face and body are covered with scars. He is holding my box that I put Nezuko in it.

He holds up the box and says, 'I'm Shinazugawa Sanemi, The Wind Hashira. So you are the idiotic member who bought the demon. What the hell were you planning to do? What's a demon to you, kiddo? You can fight with it to protect people as demon hunters? You see about that...'

Shinobi looks at him with an annoyed expression, 'Please don't act on your own, Shinazugawa-san.'

He ignores her and yells, 'That is impossible, you moron!' He raises my box and stabs it with his blade. Blood started to drip out of the box. My eyes widen in horror, he hurt Nezuko! I can't let her die! If I let her die, how can I call myself her onii-chan! I don't want to lose another family again!

All the rage inside of me that I repressed for a long time release all at once. I immediately take in a deep breath and my scar on my forehead transforms into a red demon crest markings. Veins starting to budge out from my body. I destroy all the restrains on me and immediately rush toward The Wind Hashira with inhuman speed. He couldn't react to my speed and I grab his hand. I quickly disarm him and kick him hard in the gut. He coughed a lot of blood and was sent flying back several metres crashing to a tree with great impact leaving a dent on the tree while releasing the box.

I quickly grab hold of the box and immediately turn around toward the Hashiras while grabbing the Sanemi's blade.

Releasing a devastating sword technique, 'Breath Of The Sun! Eighteenth Style Mirror of Fortune - Sunlight!' I swing his sword in a powerful frontal slash that then creates a multi directional frontal assault with sun shaped blades in them. All the pillars nearly dodge my assault but I managed to graze some of them. My slashes landed on the ground creating small crater all over the place.

I put down my box and stand infront of it while point the man's blade toward the pillars and yell, 'I will not forgive anybody. Pillars or whatever elites who hurt my sister! I will cut everybody down if they ever hurt my SISTER!' I release a huge pressure toward them that not even a pillar can replicate.

All of them starting to sweat and feel like their are carrying a giant boulder on their shoulders. How can a kid have this much power?! He is a monster! The pressure was getting heavier, some of the pillars started to kneel down and some of them almost fainted from my heavy pressure but stayed strong.

Giyu muscle up all his strength and calm me down, 'Calm down Tanjiro! Please stop this! We won't hurt your sister! Please calm yourself down! I trust your sister won't eat human!' When I heard his words, I calm down slowly and the air around me become lighter.

I stab the scar man's blade onto the ground hard and warned all pillars in the area, 'If you can't tell the good demons from the bad ones, you should quit being a pillar!' while staring at them with my red eyes.

Iguro just look at me and think, 'This kid... is way too dangerous. He is able to create this type of destruction that no normal demon hunter can. Is he really rank 10?! This is first time I heard about Breath Of The Sun. His sword technique is very versatile and it can mow down demons like it was nothing. If we are too careless, we will be killed by this kid. He even defeated Shinazugawa easily. His power is equivalent to two pillars. How can such a young kid possessed this much power?! It is illogical. Wait...'

He immediately asks me, 'Hey, kid! Who are your parents?'

I was confused by his question but I answer, 'Kamado Tanjuro and Kamado Kie.'

(Iguro's POV)

Suddenly I tense up. What does that name sounds so familiar? Kamado Tanjuro... AH! I remember searching through the headquarters's library and found some old records. I found a record about a man named Kamado Tanjuro.

So the boy's father is a former pillar, The Sun Pillar. The strongest demon hunter in his generation that almost rival the first demon slayer in achievements and strength. He is also the second man that was the closest to killing Muzan! He completed all the mission he was given flawlessly. He retired at the age of 25 because of his illness. He is also Rengoku's father partner. He never talk about his breath style so it is mostly unknown. All the pillars at his generation tried to challenge him in a duel but he always win all the duels. The kid standing right before us is probably using his father's breath style. This kid... is really a monster. He possessed tremendous amount of power that is above pillar's level. He only lacks battle experiences...

(Tanjiro's POV)

I was confused about his question. Why does he want to know about my parents?

'Hey you kiddo! Damn you! I will rip you to shreds!' Sanemi shouted while limping towards me slowly behind me. I quickly grab his blade beside me and turn around taking a sword stance.

Suddenly, a young girl shouts, 'Oyakata-sama is visiting!' while kneeling inside the estate's engawa.

A figure walks outside the engawa and say in a smooth tone, 'So you have come. My cute swordsmen.' I quickly face the direction of the voice and my eyes widen. My eyes reflected an image of a young man.
