Chapter 64- Together forever

Start from the beginning
                                    

Gyutaro: I have some last words to leave you. My life until now—

Ume: If you let my brother die, I am never going to pray to you again! No way, will I ever forgive you! You hear me?! THESE DAMN DEMONS OUT HERE RUIN EVERYTHING!!! IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THOSE BRATTY KIDS, ESPECIALLY THE HEMPL LEAF HAORI ONE!!! NOT YOU! ANYONE BUT YOU!!! THIS WORLD IS CRUEL... CRUEL!!! AAAAAAA!!!

You are kidding me... Right? Am I going to die without getting to say my last words? The poison's making my tongue stiff... what am I supposed to do? I still could've left those last words, but... seriously?

Tanjiro appears. Both siblings look at him.

Ume: What?

Tanjiro activates his art on Gyutaro.
Ume screams in shock and pounces on Tanjiro.

Ume: HEY!!! What do you think you're doing? Who the hell do you think you are? He's not even dead yet! It's way too soon to be cremating him! I knew you and your sister were nothing but bad news! I'm going to get the both of you banned from Demon Slayer Corps for-fucking-ever!!! I am going to kill you! I am very angry with you!

Gyutaro: Hold up a second!

Ume: HUH?!

Gyutaro: How do you explain this? The poisons left my body.

Ume stares at him in disbelief. She then jumps on him crying loudly.

Ume: BROTHER!!  I'm so relieved, truly!

Gyutaro smiles.

Gyutaro: Ume... sorry to make you worry.

Nezuko:  I think that Tanjiro's Blood Demon Art ignited the poison, burning it away.

Nezuko puts her hand on his head.

Nezuko: Not that I'm really sure how it works. But please stay still, or your wounds won't heal. I'm so glad that you both survived.

Gyutaro: How can this even be possible? It's all so confusing.

Ume: Thank you...!

Gyutaro: hey, you better not move either, or you'll die!

Ume: Thank you...!

Nezuko: I'm going to go search for the demons' heads. I can't rest easy until I find them.

Tanjiro ran towards the scent of demon blood. He found a puddle of blood between piles of rubble.

Is that a pool of blood? Demon blood?

Nezuko threw a pebble at the pile of blood. The blood didn't do anything.

All right! It won't be attacking anymore.

Nezuko used a special tool to collect some of the blood.

I was able to collect the blood of an Upper Rank demon!

The demon cat appeared. Nezuko put the blood in a bag on his back.

Nezuko: Take this to Mr. Yushiro. I'm counting on you!

The cat runs off and disappears.


Tanjiro is running with Nezuko on his back.

There's no one in sight. So the Kakushi came and managed to evacuate everyone. That's a relief!

Nezuko: Tanjiro! This way!

Nezuko points to the right.

Nezuko: I want you to head this way. The demon aura is getting stronger.



?: WHO THE HELL GETS BEHEADED BY THOSE BOTTOM-FEEDERS?!

?: SO YOU WERE WATCHING AFTER ALL! Why didn't you save me, then?

Tengen: I was battling a Hashira, you know!

Makio: So what if you were? Why didn't you finish him off? You could have just split his head into two!

Tengen: I was about to do that!

Hinatsuru: Huh?!

Tengen: But that kid with an earring was still alive, so I was going to kill her off first!

Hinatsuru: Since you didn't do a damn thing yourself (Makio), you could have at least finished off the Hashira!

Makio: Then you should have fused with me so that I could do that! But you did nothing! You let your guard down!

Suma: You shut up!

They're still alive. Not only that, but they're arguing! But it looks like their bodies are starting to disintegrate.

Tengen: Look, if you're going to call yourself an Upper Rank, then you should at least be able to take down a wounded low-level scrubs yourself, idiot!

Makio: Hey!

Suma: You're the idiot!

Tengen: What did you say?!

All four of them pant heavily.

Makio: No one as cruel as you... could possibly be my husband! I bet all of us... aren't even married at all! SINCE WE DON'T EVEN HAVE RINGS! You're so useless!

Suma: Your one saving grace is your strength! Nothing else! You have no value at all of you lose! YOU WORTHLESS UGLY FREAKS!

Tengen: DON'T GIVE ME THAT CRAP! If you were all on your own, you'd each be long dead by now! HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I SAVED YOU ALL?! You're the worthless ones, and you know it! You're weak, and have no value whatsoever! I wish I hadn't protected someone like you all this time! IF IT HADN'T BEEN FOR YOU, MY LIFE WOULD BE DIFFERENT! Right, IF IT HADN'T BEEN FOR YOU! Why do I always have to clean up your messes?! You just should've never been born—

Nezuko covers his mouth.

Nezuko: That's a lie. You don't really feel that way at all. You don't mean any of that. Try to get along. In this whole world, you four spouses have no one but each other. There's no one who'll forgive you for what you did. You'll resented, despised, and denounced by all those you've killed. Nobody will ever be on your side. So if nothing else, you four... shouldn't be cursing each other out like this!

Suma cries loudly.

Makio: WHY DON'T YOU SHUT UP?! Don't you dare lecture us! You stupid brat!

Hinatsuru: Get out of here! Just get lost!

Suma: I'm so pissed...! I'M SO PISSED! Fix this somehow, Lord Tengen! I don't want to die, Tengen!! Tengen!

Maksumatsuru: Ten—

All of Tengen's wives fade away fully.

Tengen: Hey—!

To be continued...
