a roaring hashira near the crashing waves

Nishinara stood tall, his short blonde hair having slightly grew down to his shoulders, wearing his red spiral haori over his shoulders like a cloak and he had been summoned by master Ubuyashiki "Nishinara *cough!! cough!!* I'm glad you've appeared." Sanda's sickness had spread more throughout his body, now covering his torso and spreading down his left leg "master, I hope you're feeling better." Nishinara said with a small sigh being let out "yes, surprisingly I'm feeling a little bit better." he said with a weak smile "but besides that I've called you here for a certain reason, I've *cough* found out that there *cough* seems to be something strange happening on the seas." Nishinara became interested in this "people have went missing on that boat and I assume it's the work of a demon." Nishinara stood up slowly and rested his hand on the handle of his sword, leaving the room but before he could exit Sanda had one request to make "could you take someone with you?" then the hashira let's out a long winded sigh "uggggghhhhh.... who is it?" he prepares himself to hear the worst answer, having to go along with Iide who Nishinara hated with a passion "I'm sending that Dai with you." "oh him? thank you so much master!!" he then gets on his knees and begins to bow "thank you, thank you, thank you!! oh how can I repay you for this??" Nishinara looks up to see Sanda with a look of slight frustration "you can repay me by going out and killing that demon." Nishinara stood up quickly and apologised "my sincerest apologies master, I'll get on it right away." he then runs through the hallway with a pip in his step, searching for Dai.

Dai slept peacefully until Nishinara bursts through the door with the sound of thunder striking accompanying him as he barged through door "young man have I got some good news for you!" Dai was awoken up by what he thought was a thunder storm which echoed for miles across the lands "AHHHH!!!! DON'T STRIKE ME DOWN!!!" he woke up in a scare as he pats his body down to check if he was still alive until he looks at Nishinara "oh, its just you." "ite just you is right young boy!! because I'm taking you on a mission!" Dai was gobsmacked at this information "b-b-but I'm not even ready yet so can you just give me a minute." he asked of the excited hashira who's excitement began to dwindle down "of course." he then awkwardly slides the door close for Dai to get ready,

Nishinara waited outside patiently for Dai and as he does he saw many walk by and greeted them all kindly.

hours later Dai left his room with his uniform, signature cloak like haori and dual swords sheathed in their scabbards "alright I'm ready, now let's get moving!" Dai dashed along the corridor with Nishinara running alongside "let's kill this demon in the blink of an eye!" the hashira bellowed out which the entire mansion heard "hmm, did you hear that?" Sora asked "it's that loud mouth Nishinara, I swear you could still hear him even if you were an island away." the string hashira Oka complained, he wore a black haori that had white squiggly lines which spread throughout the haori, white long hair, small scar on his upper lip, grey eyes that were like clouds, one earring in his left ear and a sword with strange mechanics in its scabbard "that loud!?" Sora asked with a shocked tone "well we don't call him the storm hashira for nothing." Oka states as he forms a cats cradle that was coated with wisteria poison.

as Nishinara walks down to the docks with Dai "hm seems the docks are quiet, but that's expected of it at this time." Dai looks up at the sky to notice it was nearing nightfall "well no duh, it's dark out but you know what that means." Dai began to pull one of his swords out of its scabbard but as he looks at Nishinara he noticed he was talking to a beautiful lady who an amazing kimono but Nishinara was talking to her not for her beauty but for information "excuse me miss, I'm sorry to bother you but you shouldn't be out at such a time." he said trying to warn her about the demons that roam but she mistook it for something else "ugh, back off you filthy creep." she said before walking away from Nishinara, who then curled up in the fetal position and was feeling bad for himself "I'm not a creep.... or filthy I was just warning her..." he rocks back and forth as he mutters those words under his breath "aww come on Nishinara sir, you're not a creep she probably just thought you were one of those men who were drunk out of their mind." Dai pats Nishinara's shoulder as he keeps trying to get him back up "now come on, let's find that demon." a jolt of excitement hits Nishinara "ALRIGHT!!! COME ON SUNRISE LETS GO FIND THAT BASTARD!!!!!" as he yells it out Dai noticed that not even the waves crashing into the dock could muffle the sound of Nishinara's bellowing vocals.

Nishinara wandered through the alleys but found no one, just some people who were drunk out of their minds "hmm, excuse me sir have you seen a demon on the prowl?" he knelt down to talk to the man "a demon? *hic!* have you been drinking too much?" the drunkard said with his speech slurred but as the drunkard spoke to Nishinara he saw something crawl on the wall behind him, Nishinara noticed the look of concern on the mans face and so he grabs his sword and quickly turns around, slashing at the wall that was now back to normal "huh?" Suddenly the sound of gargling filled the air and as he looks back at the man he saw that his throat was slit, blood pouring down his neck "oh no, sir please stay with me!" Nishinara applied pressure to the wound as he tries to help him but the man points at the end of the alley which caused Nishinara to look up and he saw the demon standing there, the beast wore grey rags, baggy torn pants, blue scarf around his neck, long dark blue hair and four eyes on his face "hello there mister hashira...." the demon licked the mans blood off his hands "so you're the demon that's been terrorising this place!" Nishinara stares down the demon as he holds his sword down still "yeah that would be me."
