Kimetsu No Yaiba: Storm in Hell, Strongest Story of Marechi

Mount Aino, Fin

Summer and autumn passed on Mount Aino quite smoothly. In this mission, the five of them occupied a simple house at the end of the city, very close to the foot of the mountain. This house is known to belong to Hideki since the loss of his family. The white-haired young man told me that this place was a gift from Yoshinori, who also often cooled his mind here. Hideki also said that he is actually quite close to the Kamado family, which in fact is a family that inherited the Solar Breathing hereditary.

Throughout this mission, the five of them would take turns to patrol at night. The five of them also do not forget to socialize with the surrounding residents, so that everything has now become more integrated. Even accidentally, some people have known what kind of work the five newcomers did in their village.

Now in the middle of winter at its peak, sunlight is almost always too late to appear. Snow also began to fall, causing a fairly drastic drop in temperature out there. Even if it feels cold outside, but inside the house they live in, the atmosphere is always warm and comfortable because of Hideki's instinct in managing the house.

The Akechi brothers always took turns to cook, while Ryunato and Hideki focused on much rougher work. Since both of them were more skilled at such work, not to mention with their temperament the two of them were both not fond of details matters.

Now in the snow that has fallen since last night, Harada is busy cooking. While Hikaru tidied the table, and Hikari is now in the middle of cleaning up some parts of the house. After many months, Hikari felt that this place should be more often to live in. Whether it's for the holidays, or to really live in.

After a few minutes had passed, food for breakfast had been arranged on the tatami table. Hikari is busy brewing green tea, while Harada and Hikaru are now waiting for Hideki and Ryunato to return from their daily patrol turn while staring at the snow from the open fusuma. It only took a few more minutes, Hideki and Ryunato had returned from their night patrol with tired faces.

"Tadaima~" exclaimed Hideki. The white-haired man immediately lay on the engawa along with Ryunato.

"Okaeri, Hideki nii-san," Hikaru replied.

"Oi, you two. Come in and take a new breakfast" Harada said.

Hideki nodded reluctantly. Ryunato had already entered the house, while Hideki had only woken up to sit cross-legged. Harada who saw that said that he and the white-haired man would take a short walk to the city. Hikaru seemed to be unable to say anything. While Hikaru protested because of Hideki's invitation, it was completely ignored by Harada who understood Hideki's movements.

The two men with contrasting hair colors walked down the mountain, chatting occasionally. Harada inquires about the results of the patrol Hideki and Ryunato did. The light blue sliced man could only let out a long sigh, as if he had discovered something unusual.

Both of them could only be silent until subconsciously, the two of them had now reached the city. Harada looked at Hideki, as if charging what the white-haired man wanted to say. But on the other hand, Hideki remained silent.

Harada, who fortunately has been wearing a white kimono and dark blue trousers, is now increasingly wrapping her sturdy body with haori. The two men continued walking, until Harada accidentally bumped into a girl. The girl fell to her feet, and Harada reflexively helped the girl to stand up apologetically.

"Ah, I'm sorry!"

"It doesn't matter to ji-san, really!"

"Eh, you don't usually go to town, Nezuko. Where's your brother?"

The girl who Harada hit accidentally said that her brother was now injured in the leg. Hideki just nodded while praying for his recovery. While on the other hand, Harada was still a little surprised by the black-haired girl who called him uncle. Does his face look very old?

The black haired girl then offered the charcoal she was carrying. Hideki happily bought four bags of charcoal, then let the girl who was also slicing the old pink pass by after thanking her. Now it is Hideki's turn to feel confused, because Harada has not said anything since his meeting with Nezuko. Because their stomachs were rumbling, the two men decided to walk home.

"Can you feel it, Harada?" ask Hideki suddenly. Harada nodded.

"Hideki, would you be strong if you went on patrol with me again tonight?" Harada asked back. Hideki finally just nodded his head.

"But something really surprised me."

"What do you mean?"

"I didn't expect that Muzan could mark someone as neat."

Hideki frowned. His logic and sharp thinking now completely malfunctioned, as the white-haired man tried to digest Harada's words. The black-haired man said that if the older brother, somehow, is now marked by Muzan. His whole family knew nothing. Harada clenched very firmly, then punched the wind to vent her frustration.

Skiii

Tonight a heavy snowfall came back like yesterday. Although this morning Harada only asked Hideki to come along, but his two sisters and Ryunato immediately protested and asked to come along. Hikari already knew that her brother was acting strangely. While Hikaru and Ryunato felt that the two Hashira had known and suspected if something would happen.

As a result, the five demon hunters were currently on patrol together. Hikaru, Hikari and Ryunato decided to split up around the mountain. While Harada and Hideki are currently watching the Kamado residence from a distance. Because now, Hideki told me that this family had been stalked by one of the uppermoons since two years ago.

Right now on top of the fir tree, Harada was putting on her half-shocked thinking face. Harada's Kasugai, Kara, is perched on her head. The black-haired man was trying to digest the shocking information he had just obtained.

But he had not yet come to a conclusion, the two men were surprised by two horrors that were very familiar to them. Muzan and Kokushibou. Harada tells Kara to tell the others. The two men exchanged glances, then nodded before darting towards the Kamado family home from different directions.

The two men headed towards the Kamado family residence with anger and veins clearly imprinted on their faces. With shadows cast over each other's past, the two ran as fast as they could, until the clangs of clashing metal sounded extremely loud. Although Harada and Hideki are after different people, Kokushibou is swiftly standing in front of Muzan to protect the curly-haired demon.

Harada reflexively kicked Kokushibou's face to the left side with all her might, thus making the six-eyed demon bounce a few meters away. Although blocked by Muzan's thorny roots, Hideki also tries to attack Muzan with all his might.

Kokushibou again protects Muzan from Hideki's attack, while Harada protects his best friend's back from Muzan's roots with a very fast slash. The two contrast-haired men attacked while protecting each other. So do Muzan and Kokushibou, who are always looking for a loophole to quickly reach their destination, which is none other than the Kamado family.

Harada who first realized the existence of Hikari, Hikaru and Ryunato asked the three to evacuate the residents of the house with a life bet. While Hideki deals with Kokushibou, Harada now has to face Muzan's grin that is too wide and seems too confident.

"I'm so sorry for leaving the boy behind" Muzan said. Harada laughed, because she understood what Muzan meant.

"But I won't let you get it, Muzan," said Harada, who was trying hard to calm down. Muzan grinned.

"Do you think, Harada? But baby, Kokushibou!"

But either out of sheer breath or what, the dapper-looking demon darted before the Kamado family, and quickly the roots pierced them all randomly, although most of them received a stab and slash in the abdomen. Ryunato who saw that was silent with eyes glaring for a few seconds. But the sound of sparks resuscitated the spiky-haired young man, and made him regain his senses to attack the roots with all his might.

After a while Kokushibou gets busy with Hideki, the former samurai further protects Muzan from Harada. The master was slowly starting to get desperate with Harada's third technique of Hell Breathing. The sound of two clanging nichirins now filled Harada's ears, and made the green-sliced man step back a few steps.

Hideki immediately moves in front of Harada. The root attack surrounding Hikaru, Hikari and Ryunato had stopped. The three demon hunters are now trying to save a member of the Kamado family who is lying covered in blood. The snow that was once white, had now been flushed red from the blood of everything.

"There's one thing I want to say, Harada," Muzan said. Hideki.

"Silence you're Muzan!" balas Hideki, who is still trying to catch his roaring breath.

"Chotto matte yo Hideki."

Harada stepped forward. The black-haired man, who had not been hurt in the least, stared fiercely at Muzan. But the dapper demon said that he suddenly forgot his words. Harada and Hideki's left temples twitched. But now, Kokushibou shot towards Harada and attacked him blindly.

Harada requests that Hideki protect the others while she confronts Kokushibou. With both eyes rounded and veins clearly imprinted on the face, Hideki again appeared before Muzan. The curly-haired devil looks almost to bring out his roots back to attack Ryunato and the twin Akechi behind him.

Muzan grinned. Hideki asks everyone to be vigilant. Meanwhile, Harada, who realizes that Muzan intends to stab his best friend from behind, darts to protect Hideki's back from Muzan's poisonous roots. Ryunato, Hikari and Hikaru finally decided to retreat while bringing one of the Kamado family, a burgundy-haired young man, Kamado Tanjiro.

"Arashi no Kokyu, Roku no Words: Yuki Gekko!"

While sticking his back to Hideki, Harada made many random slashes to remove Muzan's roots. Kokushibou stood in front of Muzan. The blood-red sliced demon now shot towards Ryunato, Hikaru and Hikari, then kicked the three demon hunters, so that the three of them were thrown a few meters away and smashed the tree to the ground. Harada is getting on the black. The tall man immediately ran towards Muzan.

"Stop right there!"

"Ups, sorry."

Muzan had already slashed his right wrist, so that his demonic blood was now pouring profusely on the wound in Tanjiro's stomach. Harada again launched an attack to slash Muzan's right hand and then kicked the dapper demon to bounce as far as 5 meters. With rounded eyes and a narrow iris, Harada pointed her nichirin at Muzan.

"I won't let the Kusangadas rest until you lose that instinct!" Harada is really angry. While Muzan smirked pleasure.

"Try if you can, Akechi Harada!"

Harada darted towards Muzan. His black nichirin had already let out a black-colored spark. As fast as lightning Kokushibou again appeared in front of Muzan and repelled Harada's attack, until the black fire spread and burned the six-eyed demon's right hand.

But easily, of course the former samurai cut off his hand which only took a few seconds to regenerate. But what makes Hideki and Harada equally surprised is, the sudden appearance of Hikari, Hikaru, and Ryunato from the side and top of Kokushibou.

"Hono no Kokyu, Go no Words:Enko!"

"Mizu no Kokyu, Shi no Words: Uchishio!"

"Kori no Kokyu, Nii no Words: Reito Dangan!"

"Naude! Tsuki no Kokyu, Nii no Words: Tsuka no Rogetsu."

Kokushibou covered himself and Muzan with a crescent slash that knocked out the three demon hunters and knocked the tree unconscious. Hideki is upset, while Harada looks very emotional now, even his breathing can now be said to be very roaring.

Muzan looked back at Harada. The green-sloped man again felt that Muzan's roots would reappear, so Hashira Storm chose to jump into the air and again attack Muzan. But Nichirin Harada's slash was blocked by red roots. Iris Harada shrunk, and black fire emerged from the blade of Harada nichirin which then burned the red root.

"Jigoku no Kokyu, Go no Words: Kugyo no Zidane!"

Muzan was a little surprised and immediately retreated, especially when he saw the black fire spread all over his roots. Kokushibou, who felt his master being cornered, decided to slash both shoulders, back and chest. Hideki, Hikaru and Hikari who saw Kokushibou's actions inching to keep Kokushibou and Muzan away from Harada as much as possible.

At least the three of them herded the two strongest demons away by 300 meters. Unconcerned about the injuries they had sustained, the three bombarded Muzan and Kokushibou. Although Kokushibou managed to undo all of their techniques, however, when each of his senses sensed that the sunlight would soon appear, he immediately escaped.

The two demons jumped into a portal, which then disappeared without a trace. Hideki and Hikaru who saw that were getting frustrated. The two screamed, while Hikari fell down with a roaring breath and heartbeat.

"Back you ugly creature! face the anger of the Date family that you turned into a demon!"

Hideki is really frustrated. The white-haired man was barely conscious with Gyomei hugging him from behind to calm him down. The light blue man screamed back in frustration, as the kakushi asked about Hikaru and Hikari's situation. But the two men who had rejected Hashira Fire and Water's position said they were both okay, and returned to where Harada had been slashed by Kokushibou.

.

While on the other hand, Harada who could still feel the scent of sunlight from behind the extremely thick clouds fell to her knees, and was barely sprawled if her body was not held back by Ryunato who had just regained consciousness. The young brunette laid Harada on the snow, thus making the snow around Harada's body reddened by it.

The emerald-like man frowned while trying to regulate his breathing, so that the wounds he received from Kokushibou could begin to stop. Although his nose started to hurt from the piercing cold, Harada could still smell the scent of Gyomei that had approached Hideki and his twin sisters.

Here, Ryunato opened the plain light blue haori he was wearing, then split it in half to stop the bleeding on Harada's shoulder. A faint smile on Harada's tired face turned pale. The black-haired man could tell if Ryunato was desperately trying to control his emotions, before finally his consciousness disappeared and his gaze was completely dark. The last thing Harada remembers is the scent of Gyomei, her sisters, and the worried Hideki approaching her.
