{A/N: hi welcome to chapter 7 of Tengen's adopted daughter. I am in the process of making chapter 12. So far this is my favorite chapter. I will be starting school in 14 days so I'm hoping to have more than a half of season 2 done by then. I want to thank all of you for reading this. I hope you enjoy this chapter}

*2 years later* (Aries is 14). I was walking to the master estate when I saw two kakushi's run past me and almost knock me over. "Hey watch it, has the hashiras taught you nothing". I started walking again when I heard my crow fly over my head and say "caw, caw, 5 minutes late, caw, caw". "Yeah I heard you" I said as I started to run. I saw the rest of the hashira in front of a person. "Konnichiwa (hello), Sorry i'm late" I said as I ran next to my father. He put his hand on my head and looked at the boy. Wait, is that the boy me and giyu helped. "Where am i" tanjiro. "You're at the demon slayer headquarters. You're here because you tanjiro kamado is to be put on trial" shinobu said. "Before we begin the trial, why don't you explain the crime you have been accused of" shinobu. "There's no need for a trail. Protecting a demon is a clear violation. We can deal with this on our own. We shall execute them both" rengoku. kyojuro Rengoku: the flame hashira. "In that case I'll decapitate them with style. I'll show you the most dramatic spray of blood ever" tengen. Tengen Uzui: the sound hashira. 'You would really kill a child like him' mitsuri thought. Mitsuri Kanroji: the love hashira. "At last to see such a pitiful creature as this. I grieve for him" gyomei. Gyomei Himejima: the stone hashira. 'Um what was the shape of that cloud again? What was it called' muichiro. Muichiro Tokito: the mist hashira "Hey you, the hashira are speaking. What are you looking at, your eyes should be over there. These are the 10 highest ranking swordsmen in the demon slayer core" kakushi. "That's the hashira" tanjiro. "Aww kakushi don't be so mean to him" i said smiling at the kakushi. Aries Uzui: the snow and ice hashira. "Yes ma'am" kakushi. 'Ahh, Aries-chan is so cute when she's demanding' Mitsuri thought. "Let's end his misery," gyomei. "Right" rengoku. "And let's do so with flare" tengen. "Where's nezuko, where did you take her" tanjiro. "Never mind this boy, what will we do with tomioka? Seeing him standing here without any further precautions is making me feel ill" obanai. Obanai Iguro: the serpent hashira. Then we all turned to giyu. Giyu Tomioka: the water hashira. "Oh I think it's fine. He did come here without resisting. Let's come up with a penalty later" Shinobu. Shinobu kocho: the insect hashira. "What I'm more interested in is hearing this boy's story. He's been traveling with a demon despite being a demon slayer. I wish to hear why and to hear it start from the boy. He did break the demon slayer rules. You're aware of that right. Tanjiro kamado, why are you traveling with a demon" shinobu. "Who cares why" Uzui. "you can take your time answering the question" shinobu. "Uh gah, sh-she my. She's my you- agh" tanjiro tried to say. The shinobu walked to him with a water bottle. "It looks like you need some water," Shinobu said as the tanjiro boy put his mouth on the spout. "I can tell you injure your jaw. So please drink slowly. I added some painkillers to the water to help" shinobu said as Tanjiro drank from the bottle. He stopped drinking and put his head down as shinobu continued. "Your wounds are still healing so you shouldn't push yourself. Are you ready to tell us your story, tanjiro" shinobu. "Ah-ah, that demon is my little sister. My family was attacked by a demon when I was gone. I lost almost everyone. My sister was turned into a demon. She has never hurt anyone" tanjiro. "Don't make such a reckless remark in front of me. Since she's your family, of course you're on her side. Everything you said can't be trusted. I won't trust you" obanai. "So is he assimilated into a demon? Kill this pitiful child quickly and set him free" gyomei. "Please listen to me. I became a swordsman in hopes of finding a cure. It has been two whole years since nezuko has become a demon" tanjiro. "Your story telling is lacking any vidarint sparks of color. She hasn't devoured anyone, and she's not going to if you're going to plead your case at least spice it up a bit" tengen. "I have to agree". "What's that bird again" muichiro. "Excuse me, something about this concerns me. I find it hard to believe the master does not know about this. I don't think we should act without his permission. Maybe it's best to wait until he arrives" misturi. "Let my sister fight at my side. As a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, she'll fight to protect mankind!" tanjiro. "Well , well, well, what kind of fun do we have here? Is that the boy who has a demon with him? What do you think you're trying to pull here exactly" sanemi. Sanemi Shinazugawa : the wind hashira. "This will get me in trouble, Lord Shinazugawa! Please put the box down!" kakushi. "Shinazugawa. Please don't act rashly" shinobu. "Brat, what did you say this demon will do? As a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, she'll fight to protect mankind, right? That kind of thing will never happen, you idiot!" sanemi. "The guy who injured my sister! Whether you're a Pillar or not, I'll never forgive you!" Tanjiro. "Really? That's great then." sanemi. "Stop it! Lord Oyakata will arrive soon!" giyu said as Tanjiro ran up to Sanemi and headbutted him. "Mhm, mhm" misturi giggled as everyone looked at her. "Excuse me" misturi. "Although Tomioka stepped in, that brat still knocked down Shinazugawa.'' Obanai. "Since you're unable to distinguish kind demons from vile demons, I think you might as well quit being a Pillar!" Tanjiro. "I will kill you." Sanemi. "The master of the mansion has returned," Hinaki and Nichika said as we all looked up. "My beloved children. I thank you for coming" Kagaya said as his daughters helped him to the front. "Good morning, everyone. Today's weather is great. The sky is really blue, isn't it? All the familiar faces are here. Welcome to the semi-annual Pillar meeting. I'm really relieved." Kagaya said as we all bowed to him. "It's great to see you in good health, Lord Oyakata. I sincerely wish you good fortune and may all your hopes be fulfilled" Sanemi. "Thank you, Sanemi." kagaya. "Forgive my bluntness. Before we begin the Pillar Meeting, regarding the demon slayer, Tanjiro Kamado, bringing a demon with him, can I seek clarification?" Sanemi. "Of course. Sorry for surprising you guys. The matter regarding Tanjiro and Nezuko has my approval. Therefore, I hope that everyone can accept them." Kagaya. "Even though it's a request from Lord Oyakata, I still have trouble understanding and accepting it." gyomei. "I also oppose it flamboyantly. I can't accept a demon slayer bringing a demon along " Tengen. "I will accept this demon slayer and demon. But I will not hesitate to kill the demon if she kills someone" i said as I felt giyu's and my fathers eyes in the back of my head. "I'll obey all the requests of Lord Oyakata" misturi. "Actually, it doesn't matter to me. Since I'll forget about it immediately" Muichiro. "They can't be trusted. I hate demons the most" Obanai. "Although I respect Lord Oyakata from the bottom of my heart, I can't understand what you're thinking. I fully oppose it!" Rengoku. "Carrying out the task of slaying demons defines the Demon Slayer Corps. Please severely punish Tomioka and the other two offenders" Sanemi. "The letter" Kagaya. "Yes. This letter was written by a former Pillar, Mr. Sakonji Urokodaki. I'll read out a small part of the content. "Please allow Tanjiro Kamado and her demonic sister to be together. Nezuko has an unyielding mental power. She still maintains the rationality from her humanity. Even when she's hungry, she won't eat humans. Just like that, two months have passed. Although it's a situation that will be hard to accept momentarily, it's definitely the truth. In case Nezuko attacks humans, Tanjiro Kamado... Sakonji Urokodaki, and Giyu Tomioka will disembowel oneself to show gratitude and take responsibility." Hinaki. "So what if they're willing to disembowel themselves? If they want to die, they might as well just do it now. That's not a guarantee at all" Sanemi. "Shinazugawa is right! Killing her after she has eaten a human is way too late. The person she murdered won't come back to life!" rengoku. "You guys are right" Kagaya. "Then, Lord Oyakata" rengoku. "Indeed, they can't guarantee that she won't attack humans. They can't prove it either. However, you can't prove that she'll attack humans. Nezuko has never eaten human flesh for two years. This is a fact. For Nezuko, three people gambled with their lives. If you want to completely deny these things, the opposing party must also offer to pay a bigger price. Does everyone plan to do so? In addition, there's something I would like to tell my children. Tanjiro has met Kibutsuji. Face to face" Kagaya. "How's that possible? Even the Pillars have never met Kibutsuji. This brat? What does Kibutsuji look like? How strong is he?" Tengen. " what were his powers?". "Did you fight with him?" Muichiro. "What did Kibutsuji do? Did you find his lair? Answer me now!" Sanemi. "Shut up! I asked him first" Rengoku. Kagaya put his finger to his lip and we all quiet down. "Kibutsuji sent his subordinates to kill Tanjiro. Maybe the reason is to silence him. But this is the first time Kibutsuji has given himself away, I really don't want to let go. I'm afraid what happened to Nezuko was beyond Kibutsuji's expectations. Do you guys understand?" Kagaya. "I don't understand, Lord Oyakata. If she's a human, she can live. If she's a demon, no way. Think about the mentality we have while fighting as demon slayers. The number of sacrifices we made. I really can't accept it. Lord Oyakata. I'll prove to you how ugly a demon is" Sanemi. "Sanemi..." Kagaya. "Hey, demon. It's time for your meal. Come out and eat me. Don't force yourself. Just show your true nature. I'll give you a quick death with my sword here" Sanemi. "Nezuko!" Tanjiro. "Shinazugawa. She can't come out under the sun. If you don't go under the shade, the demon won't come out." Obanai. "Lord Oyakata. Please pardon my actions." sanemi said as he jumped behind kagaya and his kids and he stabbed the demon in the box. "Stop it!" tanjiro.

"Come out, demon. I have your favorite human blood here!" Sanemi said as the demon came out of the box. "What's stopping you? Come closer. You want it, right?" sanemi said as the demon started to growl. "Iguro. You're being too hard on him. Can you be gentler?" shinobu. "I have to pin him down hard because he's trying to move" Obanai. "Tanjiro. If you use any breathing technique when your lungs are pressed down, it will break your blood vessels." Shinobu. "His blood vessels will break? Great, that would be fantastic! Come on, break your blood vessels!" Tengen. "I feel pity for him. He's such a frail, sorrowful child. Namo Amitabha." Gyomei. "Tanjiro?" shinobu said as tanjiro broke through the rope and giyu grabbed obanai hand. "Nezuko!" Tanjiro said as the demon girl stood there for a second then she turned her head. "What happened?" kagaya. "The demon girl is resisting by turning away. Although she was stabbed twice by Lord Shinazugawa and even though there's a bloodied arm in front of her, the demon girl still refuses to bite him." Nichika. "So we have sufficient evidence that Nezuko won't attack humans." kagaya. "What do you think you're doing tomioka" Obanai. "Tanjiro. Even so, there will be people who remain suspicious of Nezuko. You have to back it up with evidence. From now on, Tanjiro and Nezuko will fight and contribute to the cause as members of the Demon Slayer Corps. Your struggle against the Twelve Demon Moons has gained our recognition all along. Your claims carry a lot of weight, Tanjiro." Kagaya. "Nezuko and I will defeat Muzan Kibutsuji! I promise that we both will succeed. We'll cut off the chains of sorrow with my blade!" Tanjiro. "That is still far-fetched given your present status. Perhaps you can say that after defeating one Demon Moon." kagaya. "Yes, sir." Tanjiro. "The Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps have outstanding talents, to say the least. They have poured blood, sweat, and tears to prepare themselves for the worst so that they can vanquish the Twelve Demon Moons. Remember this, okay? That is how the Pillars gained respect and deference. Tanjiro, you must also learn to mind your words" Kagaya said as my mind started to drift off as a butterfly landed on my nose.
