Gyutaro was packing his things, when the Master's Crow came flying through the window of his room, "Gyutaro Kamado! The Master requests your presence!" he said. The green-haired 27-year-old stood up straight, looking at the Crow, "huh?" he asked, confused. He left his bedroom and walked out to his younger Siblings. Hanako was reading with Shigeru while Takeo was practicing his sword swings. Rokuta was practicing with his Temari ball, "Hey guys, the Master wants to see me, probably about my request to go to the Swordsmith Village with Tanjiro and Nezuko. So I'll be back later, okay everyone?" Gyutaro asked. "Sure. Take care big Brother!" Hanako called.
Gyutaro headed out to the Ubuyashiki Mansion. Once he got there, one of the four white-haired girls greeted him. The little girl bowed to him, "the Master is waiting for you Gyutaro. Please follow me" she said, before straightening and leading him through the halls. To Gyutaro's surprise, she led him past the meeting room they usually used and further into the house. Soon the two reached an ornately decorated door. The girl knelt before the door and knocked, "Master, Gyutaro Kamado is here as you requested" she called in a clear voice. "Please send him in Kanata" Kagaya's soft voice spoke from the other side.
The girl, Kanata, slid open the door and Gyutaro stepped inside. Then the door closed with a snap. Turning his attention towards Kagaya, Gyutaro's eyes widened at seeing the mans state, caused him to gasp in shock. The disease had spread considerably since the last time he saw Kagaya, now covering most of his body. Due to this deterioration, he was no longer able to sit up, and was laying down in a Futon. "M-Master! Are you alright?" he couldn't help but yelp, as he quickly moved to the man's side. "I'm dying, but that's not, *cough, cough!* what I called you here for Gyutaro," the Ubuyashiki gasped out, before turning towards his Wife, "Amane, please explain why we summoned Gyutaro here" he asked weakly.
"Of course" Amane replied, removing a scroll from the floor next to her. The green-haired young man looked towards the white-haired woman, as she unrolled the scroll, "as you may remember from last time, we spoke of your peculiar Premonition's," Kagaya said softly, "and how it was similar to the Foresight of my own family. I had Amane do some digging through my family history, and she found something that even I did not expect, *pant*-" the man said, before his Wife placed her hand on her Husband's shoulder, "please, allow me to explain it Master" she said calmly. Kagaya relaxed slightly, and Amane placed the scroll on the floor between them, "this is one of our family's records. As it turns out, one of my Husband's relatives, a Cousin decided to abandon the family and disappeared some 28 years ago, 5 years before his Curse would have killed him," she began.
She pointed at a faded name on the scroll, and Gyutaro squinted to read it. "I can't tell what the name is" he said. "My family, has given- e-everything, *pant* to end Muzan Kibutsuji's life, and free ourselves from this Curse. But for one of us to- *cough* abandon this duty, he no longer deserved, to be named" Kagaya rasped. Amane continued speaking then, "it turns out that he went to the Entertainment District, and had a child, a Daughter with a woman there. Before he died, that man at least had the decency to tell his Daughter the fate that would befall her. The girl was horrified, and declared to never have children, or so we've been able to find out. However-" the woman pointed to a line that led to another faded name, "she became pregnant with a child, a Son due to her work" Amane explained.
Gyutaro's eyes widened, "then, you're saying, the reason my Mother tried so hard to kill me before and after I was born was- to save me from possibly living my life being cursed, without even knowing why?" he asked shakily. Kagaya nodded, "yes Gyutaro. That's right. Part of my family's Curse *gasp* is that the men are all very weak and frail. You were *pant* born, with a weak body too, i-isn't that right?" he asked. Gytuaro clenched his fists. He didn't want to think that woman had any righteous reason for trying to kill him, her own Son, he always thought it was because he was a burden, plus she couldn't even make money off of him due to how ugly he was to everyone in the District.
But this- if all of this was true then- "what about Ume? Why was my little Sister never affected by your- our, family's Curse?!" he cried, head still reeling. "We believe *pant* it's due to the fact that she was co-*cough, cough*nceived with a different man, and this somehow mitigated her Curse. Gyutaro, the men of the Ubuyashiki family, h-have a completely a-acurate Precog-n-nition a-ability. *pant* Th-that's how we've, a-amassed so much wealth. *wheeze* B-because you, are o-only distantly r-related to me, *cough, cough, cough!* *pant* you don't have the f-full Curse. Only the, w-weak body" Kagaya replied. Gyutaro looked down in disbelief. So all this time, he'd been a member of the Master's family? But, he was a Kamado now. Did Kagaya expect him to join his family, and abandon his adopted one, just because they weren't blood related?
No, surly not. But then, why was he called here? "Gyutaro, a-as a member of my f-family, I have a favor to a-*cough*ask you" Gyutaro winced. The man was coughing up an awful lot of blood. Surly what he had to ask him wasn't as important as his health? "I have a p-plan to, wipe o-out M-muzan for good. And the first step *pant* is to sacrifice myself *cough* as well as, my Wife, and two Eldest daughters" Kagaya explained. Gyutaro's eyes widened in shock and horror. He could understand sacrificing themselves to get rid of such a horrible monster, but their own children too?!
"But why your children as well Master?! Isn't the whole reason you want to kill Muzan, to free your children of your family's Curse? How can your Daughters be free if you sacrifice them?!" Gyutaro cried. "To lure that man into a false sense of security, Hinaki and Nichika must be there. Kibutsuji would never expect an attack with children there" Anane explained, but she seemed extremely sad. They were her precious daughter's they were talking about here. Gyutaro opened his mouth to speak again, before something pounded against the inside of his skull. The green-haired man let out a shriek of pain, before collapsing to his hands and knees on the floor.
"Ah! Gyutaro! Are you alright!" Amane cried worriedly, but to Gyutaro's ears, she sounded far away. Something was fading into his mind. Images, so clear it was like he was seeing them with his own eyes. Kagaya was lying in his Futon, covered in bandages, with Amane by his side. His children were nowhere to be seen. Standing in the garden was a man, wearing an elegant black suit, with white pants and a matching hat. No one else was in sight. Suddenly the entire Estate blew up in a massive explosion. The explosion rocked Gyutaro back into his body. He found himself kneeling on the floor in the Master's room again, sweating heavily and trembling. His ears were ringing from the sound of the explosion, so loud he couldn't hear anything for a moment.
"Gyutaro! Can you hear me?" Amane called, hand on his back. "I-" he gasped. He pushed himself up on trembling arms, before vomiting onto the floor. It took a few minutes, but the young man finally managed to speak, "it will work. Even if none of your children are with you, Muzan won't expect you to blow yourself up to try and weaken him. From what I saw, he was too full of himself to even care that you might set a trap for him" he explained, finally sitting up as his strength returned. Was his Premonition ability now evolving into the same kind of Foresight as the Master's? Kagaya smiled, "I see. Then, as a member of my family, I have a request for you *cough cough* G-Gyutaro" he began. Gyutaro looked at the younger man in confusion, as he turned his sightless eyes to him, "if I spare my two Oldest daughters, and if we kill that man with your survival- as a member of my family, w-would you, adopt my children as your own?" he asked. Gyutaro opened and closed his mouth for a few minuets, unable to understand the question.
Then his mind registered it, and he blanched, "you want me to- a-adopt your children? Why me?!" he cried in shock. "You are a m-member of my fa-family. And you are not, c-*cough*cursed the same way the, r-rest of us are. If we still have to die, th-then I want you to l-look after my children for me Gyutaro. Please. T-take care of them for us" Kagaya replied. Gyutaro looked down in thought, 'I suppose it makes sense. The Ubuyashiki children will have nowhere else to go. And they are my Biological family after all. But I still have my younger Siblings to look after, and our old home isn't anywhere near big enough for 12 people!'
"W-well, I don't know if I could. I have no idea how to raise children, and our house is nowhere big enough for 12 people" Gyutaro explained, but he couldn't deny that he didn't want to leave all of the Ubuyashiki children on the streets. Not like how he and Ume had to live for 10 years. "Once Muzan is killed, and all of his Demons eradicated, the Corps can be disbanded, and with it, the Kakushi will be free to do as they please. I'm sure they would be happy to help make some extensions to your house" Amane said. Gyutaro clenched his fists around the fabric of his pants, closing his eyes, before he let out a breath and looked back up at the Master and his Wife, "alright, I agree to adopt your children" he said seriously.
