- Calamity - Hashira - The End of the Day

A cut, there was no use running away, he would always catch up to him, every time she ran away from that Hashira, the moment she saw him lay eyes on her, she ran away from him like she always did with the Hashiras who saw her or any demon hunter , she was a coward and she knew it.

But she was also the Lower Moon 4 Mukago.

She landed from the jump she had made, and then the vision of who she was was in the moonlight.

She had sickly, yellowish skin, two dark red stripes on her cheeks, and a pair of white horns protruding from either side of her forehead. Her eyes were gray with white rings around the sides and dark red sclera with the kanji for "Four" carved over her left iris, framed by a set of remarkably long eyelashes.

She also possessed chin-length white hair with shorter bangs between the horns, she wore a simple red kimono with a black and white fur-lined collar tied in the back with a large dark purple bow.

She looked around and then sighed in relief until then, she felt the wind stir behind her, she turned slowly, and looked back only to see the bright red Haori, who stood out everywhere, a reddish black hair, which stood out. turned slowly to show that monster's eye.

A black red eye, which glowed brightly anywhere, he held a nichirin katana, she would recognize anywhere, plus a black nichirin, which he held in his hands.

Then he was gone from her vision, and then she felt death passing around her neck, then she heard those words.

"A lost life can never return. She's gone forever. A demon's body is not made of human flesh. Why do you steal people's lives? Why do you ruin them? What makes life interesting? What do you think life is?".- so many questions came from this Monster about life.

Those were the last words she heard before she disappeared forever and was nothing but a memory.

But in her last moments, she thought of a single word that her entire being before fading agreed.

"Monster'' .- that was her thought as her death was swift, and she faded away as the expression of fear never left her face, she disappeared into ashes.

*****************************************

Yoriichi didn't even look back while a movement he wiped the nichirin's blood and then put it on his blade, it's been 1 year and a half so much time had passed and Yoriichi didn't even see it past, so many things happened, especially the contact with "that" .

Something that was beyond Muzan, something that was much older than that.

Something that always exists in several worlds.

Yoriichi discovered important things about himself, mainly about his origins that were inside him, maybe he should explain it better to you.

********************************************

Flashback

1 years ago

Yoriichi decided to rest after a long time without sleep, approximately about 5 nights, he could stay longer, but his crow kept telling him to sleep so he decided to reassure his crow sleeping for a while.

He lay down and closed his eyes as he felt the fresh breeze of the day wind on his face as he leaned against a tree with a shade, he decided to take a 30 minute nap but he didn't know the circumstances afterwards.

Yoriichi opened his eyes and saw in his Sword Reality his [Unlimited Weapon Works] his world of infinite weapons.

A green lawn with a clear blue sky with clouds everywhere, big silver gears across the skies, and chains attached to them, he was standing on the biggest hill in his world where there was a tree, he was approaching the tree

And most importantly and Ironically, 2 Sols, one bigger than the other, representing both of his incarnations, along with the meaning of being Yoriichi

and if he felt, until then, a recognized presence in this world, Yoriichi became alert and quickly pulled a sword from the ground, and then appeared in front of her, with the sword at his throat.

The Presence had no form, it was just a shape.

"Looks like you finally showed up doesn't it? `` .- Yoriichi spoke holding a nameless Sword, and raising it to the throat of this figure, who was inside his world.

" Do you remember me? ''- the distorted voice, had no gender but Yoriichi recognized this voice even in 1000 years, after all the voice that accompanied him in the time where he was in himself, and his weapons.

Where his body became made of Unlimited Weapons, he saw many and they all became part of him, one more voice accompanied him, which placed him in that world that became part of him.

"Yes, I remember you perfectly." .- Yoriichi spoke as he lowered his sword and stuck it in the ground again, while suddenly returning to the same position he was now without caring about the presence.

".... How? "

"I recognized one of the 3 entities that left me trapped in this world for so long, anywhere."- Yoriichi spoke while looking at one of the Suns, the biggest of all and gave a simple smile, remembering his master, of her incarnation, and then went on to say, "is it really… Gaia."

The Shape didn't even move, at the proposal of the name the humans had given it.

"Between You, and also Alaya, the Collective will of Humanity, the two of you took my soul, and at some point merged that reality in me, to make me a little puppet of yours"

"More for some reason, something saved me and put me in this world, with a purpose, a world where there was no Alaya and no Gaia, there was only an anomaly called "Muzan Kibutsuji", if there was Alaya, I would be sure that Muzan would already be there. dead in his first decade as Oni."- Yoriichi spoke as he saw that after he had discovered Gaia's identity, he had been silent, then he turned around and saw something that surprised him.

The Shape didn't exist anymore, now there was a beauty in the eyes, a woman with long blond hair and vampiric red eyes, she wore a huge white dress that highlighted her bust, she wore separate sleeves from her dress, with golden details.

She wore white heels with tights under her dress.

Yoriichi received a name, immediately, he didn't know how else he recognized it, that woman was Gaia, that was her real name, Yoriichi knew that at that moment he had no chance of defeating "That" that was in front of him.

"Have you decided to show me the form of the Great Beast of Earth Archetype? or rather your Gaia form, I didn't know you took me to that consideration '' .- Yoriichi spoke with a neutral face without showing anything.

"I don't care, with this world untouched by me or Alaya."- Gaia spoke while totally ignoring Yoriichi as if he was just a waste of time for her.

"The Human Being's Natural Ability to Destroy, this World like many others is doomed to its destruction'' .- Gaia spoke as her eyes closed and she felt the breeze of that reality separate from her.

A marble of reality, a world of weapons, it was interesting the mechanics of having all the Noble Phantasms in that world just taking a few off the list.

Gaia walked as she approached Yoriichi who stared hard, Gaia is Earth's will, the planet's intrinsic desire to survive and thrive.

and Here she was, seeing one of the beings she particularly hates most, "humans".

"What do you want from me Gaia".- Yoriichi was to the point, as he faced the Sun.

"I want a favor" .- was what Gaia said as she turned her gaze to Yoriichi.

"I want you to kill Muzan Kibutsuji, that worm has been alive for a long time, it has been destroying and breaking many rules, and Alaya has been pissing me off, to eliminate the likely threat is him."- Gaia said as she put her hands up. waist, and sighed.

"He, I was going to do this without you asking me "Gaia", he takes the value of life, I still don't understand and honestly... I don't even want to, I'm going to kill Muzan, that's a promise."- Yoriichi spoke while remembering the faces of his family, and his expression remained neutral, but his eyes showed the heat of a sun about to incinerate anything in front of him.

Gaia, waving more before that she looked at one of the suns that were above their heads and then it started to descend and stay in front, then that Sun started to turn to dust and be absorbed by Yoriichi who was caught off guard by surprise.

An energy in his chest as he felt himself shifting, he roared in pain as his body went to heat levels beyond reach.

Then his world of swords began to change fiercely in the process, and a sword appeared in front of Yoriichi who knelt and screamed, as his body received this source of power.

A sword similar to the sun that becomes a calamity, Yoriichi went and took it in his fist where he held it tightly, 2 energy from the heavens fell on his body colliding with this energy releasing a huge explosion of force that happened in that world.

A monstrous roar that reverberates in the now formless place.

Gaia still present can wave and smile as she sees the birth of a new beast, a new monster that was to ensure the survival of the land.

Heterochromatic eyes stared at Gaea, a huge shadow as the presence emanated heat, which increased by the second as he held the Calamitous Sword, and then roared bigger and bigger as the aura increased.

***************************************************

Yoriichi shook his head at the memories after 1 year ago, that scene, and that transformation is not something Yoriichi is proud of, but on that day he gained 4 blessings from 3 beings beyond his mortal comprehension.

The Earth Blessing of Gaia.

Heaven's Blessing from the Heavenly Dragon

The Sun Blessing of the Winged Dragon.

And the Ragnarök Calamity.

These 4 things made Yoriichi's body stop being human, and become something that even he doesn't understand.

His strength soared to the impossible, the hunter's mark rising on his body like a tattoo on his back and growing larger each day.

That reality that day, where he descended into this body, gave these blessings directly to him, but his body woke up to them a year ago, where it strengthened his body and his strength.

He sealed away good parts of his power, so he wouldn't have to accidentally kill something, he was against taking innocent lives, but lately, he's been seeing the destruction that humanity is doing to the world.

He can't help but be deeply saddened, but he's sure he thinks it's Gaia's fault for blessing him, and he has a deep appreciation for the world…that is, her.

It was weird on many levels, but it wasn't like Yoriichi cared about it, so Yoriichi gained skills and trained his Breathing to the fullest, he was happy and tried to go the course of creating new forms for the breath where he was successful.

But he did it with extreme ease.

But now you ask Yoriichi, how could he not find Muzan, with all these blessings?.

Muzan is on a different plane, a Dimension parallel to this one, where he is hiding, and comes out rarely, where every time Yoriichi arrives, he quickly flees at a speed that Yoriichi assumes to be that of light, much to that disgusting coward's fear.

Yoriichi put the sword in his katana, as the thought came to mind again, he frowned as his expression changed to a slightly annoyed one, he had to kill that bastard fast.

The longer he took, the more people died, and they were innocent, and nothing and no one, not even Gaia, could change the purpose that Yoriichi had and came to the world, in his 2 lives, and even though he wasn't the same person, Yoriichi would go kill muzan and destroy his body not even needing the sun for that.

Muzan was going to die.

It was not an empty promise or threat, or a tale that could not be realized, Muzan will die, and an undeniable fact, and it will not be a quick and capricious death, it will be a slow and painful death, for every human that Muzan transformed and killed, for every life lost thanks to him.

Yoriichi was on his way back to HQ to report the death of one of the 12 Kizuki, and quickly returned to hunt down Muzan, and find his brother.

Yoriichi looked at everyone with a calm feeling, he then faced Giyuu who was looking at the ground, then turned to him and waved, which Yoriichi reciprocated and calmly taking a position next to him.

Until he was interrupted by the scarred platinum, who interrupted him with a crazed look on his face.

Platinum was staring strongly at Yoriichi who in turn looked down at the taller one, while always looking neutrally.

Platinum in turn stared at the flame mark on Yoriichi's head until he disappeared from his sight, which he widened his eyes.

Then he looked back, and saw him kneeling beside the arrogant "unlike the others", both of them looking at the ground until they were facing each other, where they themselves just smiled at each other and went back to a cold expression and another to a neutral expression.

" WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!? ".- Sanemi wondered, as she looked at the man who had just arrived.

Then the doors of the place where everyone was opened, revealing 3 people, but the focus of the 3 people was a man who has fair skin and black, shoulder-length hair. He has a curse mark that is slowly killing him, which also makes his skin appear to be rotting, spreading over his face and covering his eyes, rendering him unable to see.

and another had nothing, just stared with a calm smile.

All those present appeared, bowing in front of the man who had just entered the scene.

-Kagaya-sama!!.- The voices came in chorus except Yoriichi who was calm without moving.

Gaining the attention of the majority, who were staring at him until now Kagaya raised a hand with the help of the girl with a flower in her ear and pointed towards Yoriichi, who understood and got up and walked and stood in front of Kagaya and the girls.

"Hashiras, they want you to meet a new ally, one who occupies the same position as Hashira from now on."- Kagaya spoke while smiling calmly, while closing her eyes.

"I present to you the Hashira of the Sun, Yoriichi Ken Kamado, he became Hashira after killing the Lower Moon 2 and 3."- he said with a smile, while 3 among the hashiras widened their eyes, one for recognizing the Hashira of the Sun somehow.

Another for having seen him before, and Giyuu who widened his eyes and sighed in annoyance until a tiny smile appeared and disappeared at the same speed.

"the key to our battle against Muzan Kibutsuji".- doing now everyone's eyes widened.

"Kagaya-sama!! are you sure about that!! ``- Sanemi spoke and stood up while looking at Yoriichi with an irritated look, as if he was some kind of lie.

"Sanemi, lower your tone with the Master, and respect."- Gyomei spoke while bent over, his 2 hands together, as if he was saying a prayer then earning glances from some pillars came to Sanemi who clicked his tongue.

"I know that some of you may have suspicions, so I ask that any doubts decide for you and you saw the result I noticed when he showed."- Kagaya spoke calmly while then nodding to Yoriichi who understood and closed his eyes and pulled out his nichirin.

and then he opened his eyes.

The black nichirin blade he had pulled out had changed color to crimson, while the mark on his head seemed to glow.

(Sun's Breath: Thirteenth form).- Yoriichi spoke as he drew air from his lungs and then began to move, his crimson katana was sheathed in fire.

********************************************

A few days later

Yoriichi appeared without his kimono and haori only wearing pants showing his abdomen as he tightly gripped a small piece of wood that was shaped like a sword.

Yoriichi's body had several scars, but his body was muscular but not exaggerated, while in front of him were 2 men lying down and breathing heavily.

Giyuu was in the same way as Yoriichi with only his pants and bare feet while breathing heavily, and looking at Yoriichi warily while using his sword for support, Giyuu was sweating as if he had run a big race.

Beside him was the man with blond and red hair like Kyojuro Rengoku, who used his sword as a support and stood up breathing heavily while he just like Yoriichi and Giyuu was without his shirt revealing some bruises and bruises on his abdomen, he sweated more that Giyuu as if he had run a marathon.

"And that's all you have?".- Yoriichi asked as he raised his wooden sword, and then disappeared from their vision until Giyuu raised his sword to defend Yoriichi's kick that had appeared behind him.

Giyuu was pushed hard and dragged, he stomped on the ground, then he took a deep breath, while closing his eyes, then a mark that looked like a spring water appeared on Giyuu's face who opened his eyes until he disappeared from Kyojuro's sight, and relentlessly attack Yoriichi who just calmly defended with his wooden sword.

Giyuu's Breath was used, his attacks flowed like water and tried in various ways until then he felt that goosebumps, that goosebumps he always got when Yoriichi got tired and ended everything in one move.

As a spear stuck in his chest, came Yoriichi's wooden sword hitting and throwing Giyuu who tried to defend with his sword, until his sword broke and Giyuu like a puppet was thrown with force, and turned and fell unconscious.

Yoriichi then stared and turned to Kyojuro who was staring with wide eyes.

" I came here because it was an opportunity to be able to face the legendary breath of the Sun, but its current user doesn't even need it to defeat 2 Hashiras without even breaking a sweat ."- Rengoku thought, as he tried to get up, until Yoriichi appeared with a hand. in front of you with a friendly smile.

"Let's go Rengoku-san, for today and that's it, after all I don't want to break you, when you must be at 100% to be able to help others."- Yoriichi said while smiling calmly and helping him up, while then taking him, and he grabbed the unconscious water pillar's leg and pulled it like a sack of coal.

Rengoku limped and walked, then took his Haoris and Uniforms, as he walked, he walked with a limp until then he smiled a little while looking at his Haori and his cape.

They both walked out of the forest they were in, while Yoriichi pulled Giyuu by the foot, Rengoku couldn't help but sweat.

****************************************************** *

They both entered a large traditional Japanese house, it was big, but Yoriichi wasn't impressed until a girl opened the door.

The Girl was a young woman of slightly below average height, with deep blue eyes that fade to a lighter blue at the bottom, along with white rectangular pupils, straight black hair with parted bangs, and double tails. She uses two blue butterfly clips to hold her twin tails in place.

she wears the standard Demon Slayer uniform with the addition of a white nurse's gown over it, with a blue sash around her waist. Her uniform is lightly dyed blue. She is often seen with a frown on her face.

Yoriichi calmly watched his expression with slight grace.

Aoi then stared and saw the 3 chopsticks, 1 limping, another carrying another as the sack of potatoes, and the unconscious one being the sack of potatoes.

"Could I call Kocho?".- Yoriichi said from the tense atmosphere.

"H-Hai, Kamado-sama."- Aoi spoke while opening the door wider to let the 3 through.

"That was...".- Kyojuro spoke with a smile on his face, but you could see the beads of sweat on his face.

"Interesting'' .- Tomioka spoke, as he opened one of his eyes and was being carried, making Yoriichi raise an eyebrow.

"Yes, yes, now let's find Kocho and see his wounds."- Yoriichi spoke as he pulled and went his way with the 2 Hashiras who waved.

Yoriichi then looked at one of the windows that were open and saw the sun shining, he smiled a little, before returning to his neutral expression.
