(COMPLETED)
Giyuu is worried. All her life, Shinobu has been searching for her sister's killer. A certain Upper Moon 2. Douma. However, her madness escalates to the point of pushing everyone she loves away, including him. Everything falls apart once...
Shinobu chuckled. No wonder why he was Tomioka-san's teacher.
"Sounds like an interesting guy..."
The two Hashiras paused. Their senses were stimulated, and they immediately knew something was wrong. They marched on, and soon they found a village. A very empty village. For some reason, the feeling was amplified the closer they got to it.

Why do I feel it now? Shinobu asked herself. The sun is still up! No way a demon is lurking here...
The town's doors opened as people with straw hats came out. Two, four, dozens of people opened their doors, all wearing hats. Giyuu and Shinobu both knew what was going on.
"Tomioka-san..." Shinobu whispered, her smile still intact.
"Yeah, I sense it too. Explains all the hats." Giyuu replied.
"So, what should we do?"
Giyuu cleared his throat and walked through the street. Shinobu walked beside him, tense and confused.
One of the demon villagers walked up to them with a big smile, covered by the shadow cast from her hat.
"Welcome!" She chirped, although it was quite obvious it was an act. "Do you need a place to stay?"
"Actually, we don't need t-" Shinobu spoke up, but was interrupted by Giyuu. "Yes please."
"Right this way, then!" The demon woman said. Giyuu followed, a very confused Shinobu beside him.
"Tomioka-san, do you have a death wish?" Shinobu asked, a nerve visible on her forehead.
"Twenty one, twenty two, twenty three..." Giyuu muttered under his breath. Shinobu finally realized. Giyuu was counting all the demons in the village.
"Here we are!" The demon woman smiled as she presented a relatively cozy-looking two-storey hotel. However, there was a group of about five demons all waiting in the doorway.
"No way I'm going through that." Shinobu whispered to Giyuu.
"Yeah, me neither." Giyuu replied.
"So what happens know?"
"We run."
"Wait, what?"
Giyuu turned and ripped the demon woman's hat off her head. She immediately burst into flames, screaming in pain.
"RUN!"
Giyuu and Shinobu bolted for the trees while the other demons chased after them, protected by their straw hats. Soon, they got so deep into the forest that the sunlight barely pierced through the trees. The demons, with this newfound safety, started taking off their hats and threw them at the two Hashiras.
Giyuu and Shinobu dodged as much as they could. The demons weren't stopping, and the forest only seemed to grow larger.
Giyuu's eyes suddenly widened. He saw a long rope on the ground, cleverly hidden by the roots of trees.
What is this thing doing here?!
"Jump!" He yelled.
"What?!" Shinobu didn't understand clearly.
Giyuu grabbed Shinobu's arm and flew over the rope. They both landed on their backs.
Shinobu got up first. "What the hell was that for, pervert?!"
"Wait..." Giyuu raised his hand and pointed at an incoming demon. Of course, the demon didn't notice the rope, and his foot got caught on the rope, and both ends of the rope wrapped around the demon's leg. The two ends were pulled up from a tree which raised the demon off the ground. As the demon struggled, a dark shadow started descending from the trees, causing twigs to snap and leaves to fall. The shadow landed on the ground. From the little sunlight, all that could be seen was a Nichirin blade, blue clothing, and a red tengu mask.
The demon's head dropped and rolled over to the side while the body remained on the rope, dangling in the air.
"Urokodaki-sensei?!" Giyuu shouted.
Urokodaki stood up and sliced the rope holding the demon's body, sending it to the ground.
"Well?!" Urokodaki yelled. "Don't just stand there, get a move on!"
