Not much by its base, buckled to the ace, what's happening was merely a chase. [color=crimson]"You really have to play that song?!...[b]AGAIN[/b]!"[/color] Fleeing from the law for nearly just a minute, endangered the streets of Shinjuku, as explosions of majestic grandeur by the Sun Hashira's dramatic escape, prompted pursuit of multiple police cars as his car, zoomed and drifted away. [Color=salmon]"Can't say I didn't warn ya, Dragonboi and you ain't slithering away this time. Besides, I do love me some psycho woman!"[/color] The Sun Hashira brazened himself with arrogance of the sun, as he continue to mock the restrained & unlikely ally. [color=skyblue]"Kamado, stop provoking The Informant. Oyakata-sama has warranted Uzui-chan to protect him. Just drive." [/color] The Water Hashira, reprimanded the arrogant Sun out of his wit, as a subtle bloodlust, oozed inside the car. A Nichirin knife was held up against The Informant's throat, from the backseat. There're no words to be heard in this panel but utter muted words to be unlocked as a point of plot in a distant and riped future. What was visibly & viscerally seen; The Water Hashira slitted the throat of The Informant, at some intervals, beheaded as the Water Hashira uttered words that is soon to reveal itself. Blood splattered in the windows, from the outside view. The calm and composed Water Hashira, went against orders but why? Find out soon. [color=mediumslateblue]"Master..."[/color] The Water Hashira's Disciple, a Breath of The Moon Swordman, called her attention and she did a finger gesture towards the boy, to turn off a phone call from the Mirage Hashira. [color=skyblue]"I know, don't bother asking me what's next, Eizo. I'm nothing like Oyakata-sama and we're nothing alike the rest of the Corps'."[/color] [color=salmon]"Guen! This is weird! I could've sworn they were behind us! Now they're in front of us![/color] The Sun Hashira was contuzzled with the sudden disorienting. [color=skyblue]"Kamado, keep driving...Eizo and I will slay this bitch."[/color] Guen and Eizo stepped out of the car, and found foothold at the car's rooftop, ready to engage their pursuers from afar. The Policewoman smirked along with a sinister smile as she stepped out of the car with her men.

With enough scheming behind the scenes & an Owl in the Japanese Government, he delivered a double edged sword; one so great as one bad move, exposes the existence of Demons & their Hunters. That deception tactic was outlawing the Demon Slayer Corps behind closed doors, with no appeal or whatsoever. However, it didn't stop there, the eternal rivalry between Demon & Hunter, only ever grew stronger. Their heated rivalry was not only a test of time, but also an inseparable ties to fate, just as how darkness & light, vermillion & azure, good & evil, & most especially, the Sun & Moon. There are seven branches, standing tall across Japan yet for the past 60-yrs, none has ever killed a Blood Moon, Demon Lord. Once upon a time, 27 Branches of the Demon Slayer Corps, existed, but their war with the Blood Moons - had too many casualties. From Kantō — there's Tokyo, from Kansai, there's Kyoto and Osaka, and then the entire Kyūshū, making it the biggest branch, then from Shikoku & Tōhoku. In Shinjuku, Funachi — spearheaded an expedition, 3-years ago. The Oyakata of Tokyo assigned the Sun Hashira, Moon Hashira and Dragon Hashira to spy in the confines of Wasegawa University, The Western Dragon Nightclub & The Shibuya Crossing. It was said that with enough Hashira to covering the mission, it would've taken months, and now it's been three years. Furthermore, with the recent death of the Moon Hashira, any information regarding the Funeral Parlor, has been lost and died along with the late Moon Hashira. Tensions're running high, when the Metropolitan Shinjuku-Funachi Police Force began prying on their activities.[hr]A meeting has been held in the underground lounge of Wasegawa University, and it's covered by a Blood Demon Art, so subtle, making it undetectable.

She puffed in frustration. "Mmmmm!~ Lord Kamado isn't here again. I can't keep raising the curtains, even in the slightest, ya'know! Latest are inappropriate! He's probably fast asleep, after all that drag racing. We can't start the meeting without him."[hr][url=https://i.pinimg.com/736x/70/38/96/703896ebe5fb6a21b44eab855d4bf8a0.jpg]Tsubaki[/url] — [b]Tokyo Branch, Demon Slayer Corps, Kasugai Crow Unit[/b] The Albino Crow squawked. "Urgent matter, urgent matter. Summoned by Oyakata-sama, here you are. Not enough manpower till next week. Kinoto ranked; Third Year, Tenko Maria Thompson. Kinoto ranked & Tsuguko of the Water Hashira; First Year, Arashi Eizo. Hard times we are at, Sun Hashira MIA, Moon Hashira died of unknown causes. Three Years, dragged on this mission is."[hr][url=https://i.imgur.com/l1qLCC0.jpeg]Ubuyashiki Takaya[/url] — [b]Tokyo Branch, Demon Slayer Corps, Oyakata[/b] 15-year old, Ubuyashiki Takaya, one of the many heirs of the Ubuyashiki Zaibatsu has shown himself to the Hunters he summoned to assist the Dragon Hashira. With a cheerful smile on his face, he signaled his Crow to stop talking as he'd take the center stage. "My Siblings. My sincerest apologies for pulling you out of your Subjects. Never fear. I have handsomely persuaded your Professors to delay your Midterms for two weeks, especially the Third Years." He signalled Yanagi, who then performed her BDA, manifesting Green Tea and Azuki Mochi for them to snack. "Yanagi-chan, give them their letters."[hr][hider=Rengoku Nobuo]To my dearest Niece, Long time no see, it's been a while since we last talked, I'm glad you're doing well in Wasegawa University, my Aneki, your Mother, Amaya, would definitely been so proud. Just one more year and you'll graduate! On the other hand, I sincerely am sorry, for not responding to your Letters. I lost the Shop and got into trouble, and got into a fight with Great Grandfather. If you're reading this, I tried my best to not have the Corps, tie you in, to any of this but I have my reasons amidst this Family Drama of ours. I'm truly sorry, Mari-chan. I'm such a good for nothing Uncle. I wish I can tell you. I'm really sorry, if this is about to affect your education. But all I can say is, these are perilous times. Don't believe in everything you hear or see. — Rengoku Nobuo [/hider] [hider=Tomioka Guen]To Eizo, I know you're going through a lot and trust me, it's no joke, getting inside one of the best schools in Japan. You could still work on your Maths though, I can't afford you to having just an A. I need you to do more than that and make yourself consistent. My husband, your supposed Master, would've said the same, I miss him too. You got a lot in your mind, especially what's your future in the Corps. I would like to apologize for entrusting you dreams that you may not want to embody but I'm sure you'll forge your own path. I got into a squirmish with the Tsugikuni clan, and I vouched for you as the next Moon Hashira. I failed. Clan politics, whether we like it or not. My husband's sister was chosen to be the next Moon Hashira. Build your own rep, choose your friends wisely, don't get into a fight with Himari. Don't be a puppet of the Tsugikuni and don't die. I really wish that those in power, would shed light without dynasty. Sincerely, Tomioka Guen [/hider] Sadly there was no letter for the Dragon Hashira. "Take your time, and I will answer your questions regarding our agenda." Oyakata-sama sat in a cushion chair.[hr][img]https://i.imgur.com/AoKHKse.jpeg[/img] Somewhere around Funachi, laid a joint of an Izakaya, the bar was running in late at its closing hour. [@Aku the Samurai][@Arminwraith][@TimelessParagon] A man was so drunk, he wanted more. "Oi, akakiddo, gimme some more of that booze, which reminds me, what is a cop doing here at closing hour in 8am? The next shift is about 2pm, which is mine."
