[hr][hr][sup] The Storm Pillar set out shortly after the departure of Kuuto. Whatever peeled him away from that god-forsaken paperwork was greatly appreciated, and thus, a tardy pillar member was a good enough excuse. He ignored the goodbyes and acknowledgement of passing students and the groundskeepers outside, it was a habit of his to be caught in his thoughts and ignore surroundings. The clacks of his feet pressed into earth lightly, he preferred traveling on foot or by horse - despite the era he lived in. Perhaps the engines of an caused the geezer anxiety. Or maybe he just preferred to go at his own pace - the man was quite the control freak so this is completely plausible. Either way, it would be a long trip - taking at the least two days to reach the Fortune Pillar's shoddy estate.

As for his Tsuguko, the Breath of the Sky user would upon arriving at the estate find it already occupied by a number of others. They were clad in the typical garb of his brethren, though their allegiance and their purpose was still yet to be distinguished. What could be noted however - was the fact that they all hid their identities with masks. It was likely that they were members of the Spirit Pillar's investigatory sect within his division of the Corps, they were quite quick, reaching the estate with such speed and having already seemingly swept through the entire perimeter some time before. How exactly Kuuto would handle this though was entirely up to the boy himself.

On a separate front, the Sea Pillar had just greeted the newly recruited demon slayers whom had just gone through the hell that was Final Selection. Each of them seemed to carry with them some burden that weighed down - but what exactly that was would not be clear. One thing is for sure though, they all dismissed their squabbling as the owner of the estate made her presence known. Each student simply snapping into a straight backed stature of absolute subordination, not wishing to show such an immature side of themselves to their newfound teacher. The smart-mouthed girl was the one with the gall to quickly respond though. "[color=steelblue]Thank you for the hospitality, and the opportunity to learn Hashira-sensei.[/color]" The girl quickly announced, dropping her forebody into a deep and straightened bow. Her peers, or whatever you may call them would veer their eyes down towards the girl with slighted expressions. 

As for the Love Pillar Estate, it would soon be graced with the presence of a courier donning the Imperial Symbol on his attire. He was a younger man, black buzzed hair, short in stature, soft-spoken as well. "[i]May I have a word with the owner of this establishment?[/i]" It was not often that someone not within the Corps found one of these estates as patrols and other security measures had been enforced to deter such events. But this man had apparently eluded such means? Quite curious. Her tutelage on the other hand would soon be dealing with her own mystery as well, as - in her night stroll, rather than coming across what she was seeking she instead would soon be graced with two young women covered in cuts and bruises sprinting by? They were obviously in some form of danger, though, her mission was to seek out demons - what would she do? The two quickly made ground past the demon slayer, not even acknowledging her existence as they briefly passed her and continued sprinting away.

[sup]Momiji kept his expression rather blank towards the group of perpetrators, if that's what you could call them at this point. It was obvious that he wasn't exactly happy with how things had gone down with this interaction, but making the mess even bigger would result in higher ups getting more upset - which was the last thing this long-haired demon boy wished to incite. So he played along with this boy swordsman's antics and those that followed him, wishing to simply convey the information he was charged with and returning to his peaceful little rendezvous. 

[color=darksalmon]"If only you would just listen and hear me out. You see, we at Shingetsu have one goal we wish to see come to fruition - which I'm sure that old family that is so fond of you knows already. To allow the remaining demons a safe haven to survive in. One where a suitable supply of food can be procured, and they can live separate from human society. But, as you know - there are many demons who don't even consume humans - and instead, just wish to live alongside them until their existence ceases to be. Those are the types of people we are looking to bring within our Organization, those that can be an example to others."[/color] The long-haired demon monologued, maintaining a simple and undivided expression gazed plainly at the former River Pillar.

[color=mediumseagreen]"And how does your boss exactly see that happening with a few extra lugs of muscle helping his numbers? You have the entire army of Japan, and the Demon Slaying Corps at your back. There's no way possible way that your tiny little group could accomplish this in Japan."[/color] Tamagawa harshly spoke, though his tone died down from it's bombastic volume of before - he was getting answers and that was exactly what he wished for.

[color=darksalmon]"It's possible - you are partially to thank for that. Proving to us that even we demons with the proper guidance can overcome such limitations that we had in the past - your student is a prime example of that."[/color] The long-haired demon shifted his sights back to the River Pillar's lone student, seeking to see what their response on the whole conversation would be.[/sup]
