Hikaru Kamiya

Hikaru noticed the other two demon slayers engage in battle, they were fairly talented taking down multiple demons each. Though it was to note that these demons were definitely weaker compared to Muzan's demons, they were probably recently made demons and only existed as front line grunts for the attack. But they were numerous, and that was an issue. "Okay boy, you stay here," Hikaru whispered to his horse, dismounting it, and tying a lead to a post near the river shore. He ran into the city with his hand on his Katana drawn and ready to go. He noticed Komakai running on top of the buildings with his blade drawn as well. He looked to his left and right as he ran through the town accompanying the new demon slayer, knowing that an attack could spring up from any direction just like the previous demon he had dealt with.

A gigantic and bloated demon came around the corner laughing while launching a bone spiked fist right into Hikaru, Hikaru immediately reacted to the attack parrying it with one swift strike from his sword. This counter was enough to knock the demon off balance, sending it back a couple of unbalanced steps. The demon raised its hand up for another strike only to realize that Hikaru's exceptionally quick swordsmanship shined brilliantly as he had removed the demon's hand with ease without even using a technique. The demon grunted and roared at the Pillar of Heaven, regrowing the missing hand and launched another attack. This time smashing the ground in front of the Heaven Pillar. Hikaru jumped high into the air in order to dodge the attack.

"Demon Blood Art: Demonic Vines," the demon bellowed, sending several tendrils out into the air to try and chase down his prey. They soared toward the Pillar, however, Hikaru easily dodged this demon's slow but definitely power packed attacks, running down the large, fleshy tendrils that the fat demon sent into the air. Hikaru decided that this demon was worth playing with before ending its miserable life. Hikaru made his way toward the demon, dodging or cutting through any attacks that came in his way as he made his way towards his target.

Then right as he was in the demon's face, Hikaru stated, "Breath of Hell: 5th Form - Deadly Sin of Greed." His sword seemingly came to life as several dark flames erupted from it and scattered across the body of the behemoth before the demon could recover from its previous attack, engulfing the demon completely. "Lets see if you can handle this," Hikaru stated as he stepped back, the flames disappearing when the Heaven Pillar finished his attack. The demon screeched as it bent backwards in pain and fell to its knees as it realized the true extent of the number of wounds inflicted upon it. None of which were lethal though but managed to strike multiple critical points such as the tendons in its arms and legs as well as blinding the monstrous demon. Hikaru calmly walked up to it and finished the job with a single quick slash that came out in an instant, tearing through the arms that the demon was using to helplessly cover its face and neck, beheading the abomination with relative ease. The Heaven Pillar knew that while he wasn't as strong as naturally gifted as Tanjirou or Kanao, nor as strong Inosuke or Ryuu, nor as quick as Giyu or Zenitsu, Hikaru knew where his strengths were, and he wanted to make sure it was on display whenever he fought.

Hikaru then whipped his sword out, flicking off the demon's blood. More demons gathered around them, and he figured it would be best if he went all out and teamed up with his two subordinates in order to stave off the horde. Hikaru then drew his Sakabato and positioned himself on the rooftops with Komakai to give himself a height advantage. "So new guy, enjoying yourself so far," Hikaru said with a grin on his face, "now the real fun begins."

Kazuhiro Takehiko
​

Kazuhiro was rushing to get to the Demon Slayer meeting that was practically on the other side of the world. He had finished up his duties in a small village, and was heading back home to see his family. However, that all changed when he got the message that there would be an important meeting for all of the demon slayers. He was expecting to be the only slayer that would not be be attending since the message came when he was halfway en route back home. Whether it was raining or shining, day or night, he only stopped for small breaks as he made his way to the meeting. Running on no sleep it was a test in itself to make it on time, and he was determined not to be late.

Seeing the entrance to Ubuyashiki Manor Kazuhiro was boasting with joy that he had finally made it to the manor. After running past the entrance he slowed down to a walk as he found a tree to lean on in the garden area of the manor. His appearance was not the greatest to say the least, but he was glad to have made it just in time before the head of the Ubuyashiki family addressed all of the demon slayers. Kazuhiro let his legs give way as he sat down beside the tree he was leaning on. Looking around the manor to see what kind of slayers were gathered he was shocked that there were very few of them. Yes, the main culprit was taken care of, but demons still caused havoc and fear among regular humans. He had figured there were still many demon slayers left, so to see less than that was a bit of a disappointment.

Resting his Naginata in front of him on the ground Kazuhiro reached into his pocket to grab a small bag of treats. He took the string off that was tying the bag shut, and grabbed a handful of bite size treats. Before he got a chance to eat some a sudden commotion had caught his attention, and he looked up just in time to see a man fall to the floor. The Beast Pillar, whom anyone could make out what with his interesting choice of mask AND his violent attitude, seemed to have been the one to throw the first punch. Kazuhiro threw the treats in his mouth as the show began to unfold only for him to spit them out as someone fell from the tree, startling him. He looked up at the tree branches to see where the fellow had come from, and then looked back towards the slayer that was inching closer to the commotion. Where did... okay, Kazuhiro figured it was better to let bygons be bygons. Scooting a little farther from the tree Kazuhiro dragged his naginata with him.

Not wanting to be caught off guard a second time he looked around him to make sure there weren't any other surprises waiting for him in the garden area. Kazuhiro kept his distance from the conversations of the other slayers, and spent his time eating the small treats. Seeing as he wouldn't be able to go home after the meeting he needed to replenish his energy before leaving the manor. Eating, and resting are the best sources of regaining stamina along with having a calm mind before the storm, he could hear his mother saying.

........​

It didn't take long for the head of the family to make his appearance, and when he did it was as if his words alone were a sort of inspiration that the war against the demons would not be lost. Once the speech was over, and he was put into his group Kazuhiro realized that the man who was punched was their pillar for the group. On top of that the tree monkey was also assigned to their group, but before he had a chance to even introduce himself the group had already started making their way to their destination. Scrambling to find a horse Kazuhiro found the closest thing possible...a donkey. Why was there a donkey among horses? he would never know, but what he did know is he was definitely going to be last. Definitely.

It took some time to get to his groups destination, and he had contemplated leaving the donkey entirely. Halfway down the road though he had started to vent to the donkey, and felt like he had created a sort of bond with it. If possible, he wanted to take the donkey home to his family after the mission was over to be able to apologize for not coming home as promised.

Nearing the village Kazuhiro felt like there was something off about the place. Getting off, and securing the donkeys reins to a nearby tree Kazuhiro set off on foot to find out what was going on with the town. Holding his Naginata vertically close to his body he carefully walked down a path as he glanced around him for any signs as to what was going on. A noise had made him stop dead in his tracks, but as he stopped to listen nothing had happened. Carefully watching his steps Kazuhiro continued to walk forward only to stop again as he heard another sound. What is that, he tried to focus in on the noise.

"Wait...is that..."

Not waiting another second Kazuhiro ran towards the noise, and low and behold it was none other than his group fighting against demons. There were many demons, and from the looks of it the fight wasn't going to end fast. He decided it was best not to intervene in the fight as it could throw off someones groove, so instead he would wait for the right time to jump in. Kazuhiro carefully moved around to find openings in the fight to be able to jump in, but so far each person had a handle on their own battles. It was an interesting sight to be looking at until he became too focused on trying to find an opening to jump in at that a demon had managed to surprise him. As he was eyeing the fight a demon jumped out from behind, and wrapped his arm around Kazuhiros neck. Since the Naginata blade was facing up Kazuhiro forced the blade up through the demons shoulder with enough force to pierce right through. As the demon let go Kazuhiro turned, and got in a fight-ready stance position. "Not today demon, not today."

In the distance, several people cloaked in darkness gathered together, watching the battle in the city unfold. One of them a younger man with a blood red scythe that is seemingly fused to his body, steps up and sets himself apart from the crowd. He silently looks at the rest of the group, seeking validation for his next action, and each of them nod in response, giving him the signal to head into the town. So he steps off and jumps from the cliff overlooking the town and lands into a nearby crowd of demon slayers who had just managed to defeat a handful of demons.

'These three have the blood of warriors, they are breath users. Take their lives now."

"Yes... We shall...," the young man replied, "with pleasure."

"Who the hell are you talking to," one of the demon slayers said. Before he finished his sentence a red flash appears before him, and suddenly the demon slayer's throat was sliced open. He soon fell to the ground dying. The scythe wielder then slammed his blood stained weapon into the ground next to the fallen demon slayer, letting the weapon absorb the fallen slayer's blood.

"What the hell," another demon slayer stated, as she raised her sword. "Breath of the Wind 1st..." Her sentence was interrupted as the scythe wielder slammed his fist into her chest, knocking the breath out of her and sending the girl through a fence into a nearby house. Her flight was stopped by a wooden support beam which knocks her out temporarily.

"Momo-chan," another demon slayer exclaimed, "Yahiro will make you pay for this. You demon swordsman." He drew his sword and lunges at the scythe wielder. The demon swordsman, now having completely empowered his weapon with the blood of his fallen enemy responded in kind with another powerful slash with his weapon. Momo managed to recover from the attack, to watch her comrade valiantly continue trying to fight this monster. Yahiro managed to react and block the attack and hold his ground. The two exchange blows as Yahiro turned out to be a decent swordsman to the Demon Swordsman's surprise. But he wasn't going to entertain him any longer, the scythe wielder summoned more strength and proceeded to launch another sweeping slash at Yahiro. Yahiro managed to block it, but his sword buckled and broke under the immense strength of his opponent, and the young demon slayer meets his end being bisected by the Demon Swordsman.

"YAHIRO!!!" Momo then picked up her sword and with a single concentrated breath, summoned as much strength to her legs in order to close the gap between herself and the Demon Swordsman. The Demon Swordsman realized too late that the Demon Slayer he knocked out earlier managed to survive his attack, and put his arms up in a vain attempt to try and block the attack. "Breath of the Wind, Sixth Form, Black Wind Mountain Mist." The sword cut through the man's arms and neck with ease and lopped his head off. The girl turned around and thought she had managed to kill the demon, but the Demon Swordsman simply walked up picked up his head and placed it back on his neck. "What the hell," she asked herself, raising her sword instinctively, "you should be dead. I cut your head off." She the realized that this was an opponent that clearly outclassed anyone there.

Komakai Yasuda​

Crouched at the ready on top of the roof with the hellish pillar, Komakai responded to them without looking over for even a second. His hand was still stuck to the handle of his blade, watching the battlefield below them for any approaching demons.
"The real battle? That does seem to be ahead of us..." he mused, voice shaking as his words coincided with his breaths. Not even speaking could be allowed to disrupt his rhythm. Especially since he saw new slayers and new demons arriving every second. He could feel one scuttling up the side of one of the rooves, cracking the shingles as it raced towards them. Shaking his head, Komakai leaped off and away from Hikaru, meeting the galloping demon with a swiftly drawn scimitar. The demon growled and bit at the blade while Komakai struggled to push them off the edge and jump after them.
Breath of the Feather, 1st Form; Falling Flat
With a twist in the air, he fell on the demon's neck, ending it once again, regaining his breathing on the ground. Komakai looked up to Hikaru and gave a bony thumbs up before continuing on his way through the village. Drawing his sword back and beginning to leap into a run through the roads and off the corners between the houses, alternating his breathing whenever he needed to run a short distance along a wall to avoid a Demon or slide under an attack. Attracting several of the creatures along his run, he swivels around, unknowingly coming back to back with Kazuhiro as he does and beginning to wear down the set of three demons in front of him by avoiding and trading blows. He gets blown back a few feet and knocked around by more than a few attacks, but that was all a matter of his plan. It became clear to anyone around to see that against these fodder, this was less of a battle and more of a fatiguing dance.
Breath of the Feather, 4th Form; Spiralling Eagle
In a string of cuts like an eagle's talons and with his Haori becoming like flapping wings, he dispatched the three in an instant after the exchange. Once Komakai hit the ground, he gave a long, sweeping breath as he swung his hand along the ground and regained his floating stance. The end of a gymnast's routine, not a swordsman. Komakai's grand turn gave him a glance at Kazuhiro, someone he was going to face and bow towards, but the minute his foot touched the ground again, his legs buckled. There was something about the ground here, the ground throughout the village that had been disturbed beyond what Komakai could handle, rendering him unable to stand.
"Wh-what...what is this feeling?" He stammered, unable to properly focus as he struggled to stand. Something, something large in this area had gone wrong...or disappeared...or, well, he couldn't even imagine whatever was causing this much of a shift could be. But someone had to snap him out of it, now that his scimitar was planted in the ground.

The Demon Swordsman noticed that a group of demon's had gathered around a certain area in the town. He knew that either someone there had special blood or they were formidable opponents. Either way, he knew that they had to be dealt with one way or another. The Demon swordsman began leaping from one rooftop to another in order to meet the other Demon Slayers. Hikaru noticed this as he cut down another demon that tried assaulting the duo on the roof. "Shit. Komakai get ready, looks like we have company." The Demon Swordsman leaped high into the air and slashed downward between the two Demon Slayers, separating the two from each other as Hikaru instinctively stepped away from the attack. Hikaru took a ready stance with both swords crossed in front of him.

"The one in white is a Pillar. Are you sure you want to do this, Kai?"

"Yeah let's do this." The Demon Swordsman then took a ready stance with his scythe as well, raising its blade behind his neck to set up for an attack. Without hesitation, Hikaru immediately went into battle against Kai. The Demon Swordsman slashed repeatedly at Hikaru, but he blocked and parried the attacks that far out-ranged his own well, combining every successful defense with a strike of his own. He wasn't following any set Breathing Form, but merely going off his own instincts as a swordsman, incorporating attacks of the different forms into his combat, albeit a lot weaker than an actual practitioner of each form, in his attacks to gauge the strength of his opponent.

Kazuhiro Takehiko
​

The demon wasted no time in trying to kill Kazuhiro, but today was not the day he was wanting to die. The demon ran after him, and tried landing a few swings on the slayer, but Kazuhiro would back away as the demon kept trying to hit him. Using his Naginata he directed a few jabs at the demon who was about two times his size. The demon didn’t dodge the attacks, but instead let the demon slayer land his blows. As Kazuhiro jabbed his naginata forward the demon grabbed the weapon, and pulled forward with such force that Kazuhiro was swept off his feet toward the demon.

The demon slammed his fist on Kazuhiros stomach area, and then laughed as Kazuhiro fell to his knees while coughing up blood. “Weak, you are all weak!” he cackled.

While the demon laughed Kazuhiro grabbed the tanto from its sheath on his side, and threw it towards the demons left eye. As the tanto made contact with its target Kazuhiro kicked up his naginata, grabbed the weapon with both hands, and rushed forward to stab the demons right eye. It was not enough to kill the demon by any means, but it gave Kazuhiro enough time to land the finishing blow.

6th form - Tsukiyomi’s Wrath:
Putting all of his energy into 1 frontal vertical slash Kazuhiro creates a gigantic slash that not only kills the demon he was fighting against, but a few other demons nearby.​

Coughing up more blood Kazuhiro wipes the blood with his sleeve, and gives himself a small pat on the back. He was worried he wouldn’t be able to create the form due to the hit the demon had given him. The attack had taken the air right out of him, and he was sure to feel it when they were done fighting.

Walking to the demon that was fading away into nothingness Kazuhiro grabbed his tanto. “Am I weak now?” he said to himself as he put the tanto back in its sheath. As he looked down at the demon he heard some noises behind him, and turned to see another demon slayer. He was going to greet the comrade until he saw the demons that were chasing the slayer. “Looks like we have ourselves a party.”

Kazuhiro was going to help the slayer, but it seemed he had it well under control. It was impressive to see the male slayer fighting against the demon with such ease. After the fight ended Kazuhiro saw the male fall to the floor. Seeing the confused look on his face Kazuhiro ran to him. “Hey, you don’t look okay.” He said to the other demon slayer as he put his hand on the slayers shoulder. “Here, I’ll help you up. We need to keep moving.” He said as he mentally prepared himself to carry the weight of another person. “Throw your hand over my shoulders. We need to go to the house over there.”
