Demon Slayer: The Price Of Strength

Recap.

Akira: Hurry!! THE PROPHECY IS ALMOST GOTTEN TRUE!! IF MAY THAT HAPPENS, WE WON'T LAST A CHANCE AGAINST DEMONS!!

mitsuri: Calm down Akira san, it didn't say that no one will able to fight against them..

Akira Throws a piece of paper and ran outside the house.

"When the river flows with blood, and the sky weeps with ash,

A thousand whispers rise, and the world will be their clash.

No heart will beat, no soul will sing, only silence will remain.

A chorus of despair, a symphony of pain.

When the world is hushed, and the echoes fade to dust,

The whispers will become a roar, and nothing can resist."

Mitsuri's eyes widened.

Mitsuri: This... Can't be true...

Mitsuri ran outside the house, running beside Akira.

Mitsuri: Now where are we going?!?

Akira: The Next Attack Is Confirmed will be at red light district once again! I'm pretty sure after this Prophecy.

Recap end.

???: whoa, whoa, where are you going?

Akira and mitsuri stopped to look at the person called for them, it was a teenager boy.

Boy: You are demon slayers right?

Akira: no! We aren't! We're heading to our house it's just nearby!

Boy: I'm kite. I'm also a demon slayer so don't hide it, I'm Hinoe ranked slayer.

Akira replied there was still Chilling expression on his face.

Akira: oh hello it's good to have another demon slayer around.

Mitsuri: Akira-san! We don't have time! Remember we're going to Tokyo.

Kite: You are heading Tokyo at night?!?

Akira: oh! Yes, because I'm pretty sure at red light district there'll be Attack.

Kite: You won't make it there, Tell the crows to inform them.

Akira: Good idea.

Mitsuri: But-

Akira: Mitsuri.. kenta can take care there!

Kite: Come with me.. you have read the prophecies, right? Come to my shelter let's talk there.

Akira and mitsuri told their crows and then Akira tilted to face kite.

Akira: what are you saying? Are you mad? Demons will attack anytime!

Kite: Oh!! Yes.. I didn't told you, here at Kyoto demons are new so they haven't attacked any other town except this one behind me.. it's theory by me that they're new here that's why.. maybe.

Akira: Let's head to your shelter and sit there and talk.

Mitsuri: Let's go then!

They followed kite, kite lead them to his shelter nearby forest, it was a little camp.

Back to kenta.

At Tokyo, Kenta was taking a nap on a bench of Some Random Village.

Inside Kenta's dream.

Kenta was talking to his father, they were sitting at their house, it was middle of the night.

Kenta: I have no purpose to live anymore...

Father: "why'd you say that?"

His father gave concerned look

Kenta: My whole family died, I'm alone.. even If I have a friend, everyone needs family.

Father gave warm smile: You haven't figured out your purpose, your motive.

Kenta: What is it father?

Father: You have a Big Purpose To Live On...

And in the next scene.

Kenta was kid, playing with a girl older than him.. she had green eyes, her face was covered in shadows, only her eyes was visible...

Kenta's father was sitting in house watching them play.

Kenta woke up suddenly, jolted by the intensity of his dream. He sat up on the bench, his heart pounding in his chest. He ran a hand through his hair, trying to shake off the lingering sensation of the dream. His mind was still reeling.

"Why I got this dream... who was that girl?" he muttered to himself. "Did I meet any girl in my childhood?"

The image of the girl with emerald green eyes, her face shrouded in shadows, played in his mind. He couldn't shake the feeling that she was somehow important, but he couldn't recall meeting a girl like that when he was a kid.

He needed to find some answers. He couldn't ignore the nagging feeling that something was missing in his memories. "I should go and check my house," he thought. "I haven't seen my house for a while."

The urge to go home was almost unbearable. He had a sense that the truth was buried within the walls of his childhood home, waiting to be uncovered.

As he walked through the dense forest, a strange feeling of unease settled over him. The darkness seemed to press in on him, and he felt a chill run down his spine. He was surrounded by trees, their gnarled branches reaching out like skeletal fingers, and he was completely alone. The only sounds were his ragged breaths and the crunch of fallen leaves under his feet.

He pushed on, his eyes glued to the path ahead. His heart hammered in his chest, and he was consumed by a strange mixture of anxiety and anticipation. He was going home, but he didn't know what he would find there.

He reached a small clearing in the forest. In the distance, a dilapidated house stood shrouded in shadows. He could make out the faded lettering on the weathered nameboard.

"Takeshi Residence," he read aloud. "Old memories..."

As he drew closer, he felt a wave of nausea roll over him. He could almost feel the weight of the past pressing down on him, suffocating him with a sense of dread.

He pushed open the creaking door and stepped inside. The interior was dark and dusty. Rays of moonlight streamed through the broken window, casting long, eerie shadows across the floor. As he took a step further into the house, he felt a sharp, piercing pain shoot through his head.

He clutched his head, his eyes squeezing shut, as a wave of fragmented memories rushed over him. He saw the girl with emerald green eyes, playing in the yard, and he felt a surge of joy as he remembered a time when his world wasn't filled with pain and loss. But then, the pain intensified, and he saw himself as a young boy, watching in horror as his family was attacked by demons. He saw the girl, fighting bravely, trying to protect his family.

"What's this headache?" he cried out, his voice cracking. He staggered back, feeling disoriented and confused.

The memories continued to flood his mind. He saw his parents, sitting at the dinner table, and the girl sitting next to his father. She looked up at him with a smile, her emerald green eyes shining like a beacon of hope.

"I never saw a girl in my house!" he cried. "It's fake memories!"

The pain subsided as quickly as it had begun. He took a deep breath, trying to steady himself. He could still feel the echo of his memories, and he felt a growing sense of dread. Something was wrong. Something was very, very wrong.

His crow suddenly came shouting at him that Demon slayers needs your help at red light district!!

Kenta instantly ran towards red light district.

Kenta(thinking: I'll figure out everything but first, I can't let any demon slayer die!!)

He ran at full speed, in several minutes he entered red light district, he saw blood on ground he followed blood on the ground and found a demon slayer hiding behind a tree, he went for him and knelt down beside him as he was doing and spoke in decreased voice.

Kenta: hey I'm hashira, I'm here to help.

The demon slayer burst out crying.

Demon slayer: Our Comrades Died!! Go ahead and please save them, Please!!

The thing demon slayer told kenta, it hit him like a thunderbolt, he quickly regains his composure.

Kenta: Don't cry.. your comrades will be safe

Kenta got up and ran inside, there he saw injured demon slayers were laying on ground.

Kenta(thinking: if the demon was strong, they should send high rank demon slayers)

Kenta reached a clearing and what he saw he got froze for a moment.

A demon, it's eyes glowing with malicious, holding demon slayer's head with his one hand, and it was bleeding fully, demon seem to enjoy that and crushing it's head slowly slowly.

Kenta loose control and launched at demon with full speed.

Kenta: flare breath first form! Ignition strike!!

He sliced through demon's arm, demon regenerated it's arm almost instantly, kenta land on ground with the demon slayer and put him down.

Kenta: Are you alright..?

Kenta asked he was concerned about demon slayer.

It was a young boy, terribly injured.

Demon slayer: My ribs are broken.. And it hurts like a hell.

Tears started to stream down his face as he said that.

Demon slayer: Please save me.. please, I don't want to die..

Demon slayer holds on Kenta's forearms tightly begging him.

Kenta holded his hand: Don't worry... I won't let them escape..

Kenta's gaze locked onto the demon, it's eyes glowing and written upper moon 6.. he held the demon slayer, kenta knows that it's now not any fight, it's for them who failed to defeat her.

The demon, daki, Smirked at kenta.

Daki: You are brave bird.. but you know, even bravest bird can't escape hunter's net.

She lunged at Kenta, her Obi Sashes extended, sharp as razors. Kenta, anticipating the attack, rolled out of the way, his sword already unsheathed.

Kenta: Flare breathing first form ignition strike!

Kenta launched powerful slash towards her.

She, with flick of her Obi Sashes, she deflected Kenta's attack easily. With a flick gesture of her hands, Her Obi Sashes and demon Slayer's head, in her grasp, it exploded like water balloon exploded.

Kenta felt a surge of anger raise within him, he witnessed the demon's brutal nature. He refused to let Daki's cruelty get to him. He had to fight, not just for himself, but for those who had fallen.

Kenta yelled: You won't get away with this!!!

Flare breathing: Second form! Crimson flame!

Kenta unleashed wave of fire engulfing daki in a wall of fire, Daki roared in pain, but she Regenerated quickly, and the flames were distinguished.

Kenta seeing she blocked his attack realized he's against a demon with incredible regenerating abilities.

He needs to find her weaknesses.

Kenta: Flare Breathing Third form! Inferno barrage!

Kenta launches at daki with incredible speed aiming for her neck, but she managed to block it, her Obi Sashes forming a shield. She used Kenta's attack force to knock kenta off balance.

Kenta went stumble backwards.

Kenta, feeling the force of the impact, realized he needed to change his strategy. He couldn't keep relying on his power force, he had to be more sharp.

Kenta: Flare breathing sixth form, flame Cascade!

Kenta launches vertical slashes covering wide area and cutting through Daki's Obi Sashes.

"Flare Breathing, Fourth form! Phoenix Ascent!" Kenta yelled, gathering all his energy into a powerful blast of heat.

He launched himself forward, his sword glowing with an intense white light. He slashed at Daki's neck, aiming for a clean, swift cut.

Daki was momentarily stunned by the heat of the attack. But she quickly recovered, her Obi Sashes whipping around her, trying to deflect Kenta's blow.

But Kenta's attack was too fast. His sword sliced through Daki's neck, beheading her in a single, swift stroke.

Daki's head rolled on ground and his body fell as well, a sense of relief and satisfaction wash over Kenta as he saw his opponent fall.

Kenta knew he have defeated upper moon 6.

However, Kenta was wrong. He hadn't finished the fight.

Daki (yelled): Hey, You filthy demon slayer! How did you able to behead me?!?

Kenta: Because you Are Weak!

Daki (shot kenta a death glare): Hey! How dare you to call me that! I'm strong enough to kill you!!

Kenta (stood in Daki's direction): You're not... Pipe down and die!

Daki (Tears started streaming down her face): I'm strong... Believe me! I'm strong!!

She continued crying and moving her hands up and down.

Kenta: (thinking: Why is she's not Turning into ashes..? And how she's alive until now, why she didn't died yet.. She's crying like a little girl... Why?)

Daki (while crying loudly): I'm strong!! Brother!!... Come out teach him a lesson!

She continued crying loudly.

Then.... 

Suddenly.. a figure appeared within Daki's body... Raising slowly slowly..

It's waist was too small, however, his upper body was normal... It's rising slowly slowly... It came out completely.. it's face was terribly horror.. he took Daki's head from ground to put it back.

Kenta ran towards them aiming for new demon's neck, BUT....

It disappeared.... Then,

It appeared behind Kenta, putting back Daki's head.

Kenta: (thinking: He was able to dodge my attack that smoothly?!?!!)

Daki (crying, her tears streaming down her face continuos): Brother.. he said I'm weak... He said I'm not strong!

Gyutaro (wiped away Daki's tears): Don't cry... He haven't seen your true powers yet.. 

His voice was thick.. and deep cracking.

Kenta, shocked and horrified, realized that he was facing an even greater threat.

"You think you've won?" Gyutaro growled, his voice thick with malice. "You've only just begun to understand the true depths of my power."

Kenta, with a surge of adrenaline, knew he had to be ready for a new battle.
