Hikaru

'Tsugikuni Hikaru'
'Tsugikuni Hikaru'

A g e: 25 | R a n k: Moon Hashira | S t a t u s: †

^{P e r s o n a l i t y} :
A wise tease whose wits often leave pondering meaning, Hikaru is earnest and let his words resonate with his actions & while he can be playful - he's sensitive to the people around him.

^{S h ō w a S t o r y} :
Alongside his siblings, Hikaru is a direct descendant of the Demon King, & Yuichiro through both paternal & maternal lineage. He has defeated 7 Consorts throughout his career & fought Upper Moon 2 to a three-day standstill — with his stamina and injuries, having caught up with him. The husband of Tomioka Guen, and the father of their unborn child, t'was a tragedy of him dying while also not knowing, that the child followed after. Hikaru was said to be superior to Kamado Ryunosuke, he had learned all 16 forms of Moon Breathing, & created the Tsukimi no Kagura.

'Tsukimi no Kagura'
'Tsukimi no Kagura'

Hikaru is as nimble with catlike reflexes, at his prime, he wielded twin tessenblade of bright red nichirin, alongside the red Demon Slayer Mark – glistening with moon pattern in each cheek. According to records, Hikaru moved faster than lightning & could cut buildings into bits and pieces with sheer precision, he's also got the best defense & parry. Hikaru invented the Tsukimi no Kagura,Dance of The Moon God & applied the Kenshibu Method, Fan & Sword.

First Harvest
Mugetsu — Hikaru waves his twin tessen in perfect circular motion, utterly having all attacks against him lulled or redirected back against its caster. The Moon isn't present but a shadow of it, obscuring Hikaru in moonlit mist, this mimics notions of Selfless State & Dead Calm.

Second Harvest
Ugetsu — Hikaru opens his first tessen and rest the second against its tip, allowing him to shoot gigantic crescent moon blade projectiles, that can slice a residential townhouse into bits.

Third Harvest
Suigetsu — Hikaru summons multiple moon orbs, instilling hypnotic illusions, akin to Hinokami's Fake Rainbow but deceiving & hypnotic.

Fourth Harvest
Kagetsu — Hikaru circulates from the first four forms of Moon Breathing, delivering an ablazing moon.

Fifth Harvest
Raigetsu — Hikaru moves in blinding moon speeds, delivering loud mirages to blitz his opponents.

Sixth Harvest
Dogetsu — Hikaru circulates from the fifth to eight forms of Moon Breathing, delivering bloodlust strikes.

Seventh Harvest
Kūgetsu — Hikaru circulates from the ninth to twelfth forms of Moon Breathing, delivering twister moons dragons.

Eighth Harvest
Shingetsu — Hikaru circulates through all Moon Breathing forms, like a dance that sends souls to the underworld.

Tsukimi no Kagura is a simplified version of Moon Breathing, where it uses less muscle power and employs nimbleness.

The user is said to dance for eight days from dusk to midnight, sending evil spirits to the underworld.

^{3 Hours Earlier...}
In his limousine, the childlike Takaya hummed a lullaby on a falsetto scale yet his voice blends harmoniously in both masculine and feminine recital.

Black Ford Mazda Cars were in convoy, they were the Hinoe.

Hitotsu Toya~🎵🎶. Creepy as it may've sounded, it was calm yet insidious.

Seatbelts fastened and the prepared hot green tea's reflection, glistening from the carside's mirror. The youngmaster fell fast asleep like a pretty little baby - with him during this last 3 hours before the Daikaku Onslaught, were two elite Hashiras, and the Sakasachi Doctor. Uzui Kairi, Kamado Ryunosuke, Kuwajima Raikou & a battled Kakushi, Dr. Rengoku Hinotora & Former Wind Hashira, Soyama Kenzō.

Takaya's Raven, Bayashi, gave the briefing to the participants.

"Kaw-caw! Master has overused his Clairvoyance, emergency briefing!"

"Reveal Master's fortune & misfortune I will."

"See the future he did, listen you must."

Bayashi is on the shoulder of his fast asleep Master, always on the guard.

"Bodyguards will you be, Uzui, Kamado, Kuwajima, Kenzō -dono."

"Fated, Upper Moon 4 is. Onslaught he will, predict you will not."

"After the Master he is, Blue Spider Lily as well."

"Kaw-caw! Tomioka Guen spotted. Torigoya Onsen, she will go."

"Sent Dragon Hashira, Rumble Hashira, Moon Hashira, Thompson-san & Miyuki-chan, Master did."

"Misfortune! Misfortune!" Bayashi cried.

"Death upon someone tonight! Bells are ringing it is."

"One sided massacre, caught off guard you shall be."

"Gratuitous & Grotesque Art, it is."

"Into the morgue, you shall be!"

"Kaw-caw! Police will capture y'all, only one shall escape!"

"Fortune! Fortune! Pyrrhic victory it is!"

Takaya woke up, his Clairvoyance has always been accurate.

---

^{Present Day}
Kenzō managed to snap Ryunosuke out of his misery, the young man moved at mach speed, faster than lightning, the moment he spotted the enemy with his Transparent World.

Even with one hand, Kenzo managed to protect Daikaku Monks and the remaining Hinoe.

As it rained Blood Demon Art, it was toxic.

Takaya used his comms. and had Hinotora take action.

_Flashback
"I've got a vision, that Demon Lord will most likely cause an onslaught, I need you to protect the Sun Hashira at all costs, but it doesn't mean I'm telling you to forsake other lives in the process, look at Guen go, I have a hunch that Keodis and Muragarasu will be there, after you're done, bring everyone with you to the Onsen."

Now.
Takaya is hiding at a Blindspot, in an adjacent building/skyscraper he got his sniper rifle, ready to shoot, assuming Ryoshu gets back up.

"I've evacuated the buildings. I have a bad inkling, should I pull the bomb? Should I let Kamado make a run for it? Many possibilities..."

^{Present Time, After Keodis Ordeal
Rogue Demon Hunter, Tomioka Guen}
As Himari took a dip & splashed in the comforting onsen waters, she's met with a familiar cold yet soothing voice.

"Himari...I didn't exactly expect you to be here. It can't be helped."

Guen with her usually unintentional coldly demeaning exterior, rubbing people the wrong way.

Something between their fates intertwining as sisters-in-law, opened their shared bond with Hikaru & their strained relationship. They'ren't exactly in speaking terms & were always at odds even when Hikaru was still alive, two opposing personalities and the mediator, now gone. Unknown to what may pin them against each other's throats as water & oil.

Since the death of Hikaru, Guen's relinquished her Captain duties & passed on the mantle to the Dragon Hashira. At least in terms of higher admin tasks, making the more stressful for the latter, which wasn't formally approved. She ghosted most of the people she loved and those that she worked with.

Jae-un has yet to be formally addressed as Deputy Commander of the Tokyo Branch's Demon Slayer Corps, administering Guen's former position as Takaya's Right hand.

"Ara~ it looks like you gained some friends too."

Her words piercing through Himari's skin like some cold insult that she didn't quite mean.

"Oh, nice to see you Tenko, it appears that you befriended this lonesome girl, Miyuki-chan. I haven't seen you for the last 2 years as well, Tenko."

---

"I sense that Oyakata-sama ain't here, you can send my regards. Oh well, I guess it really can't be helped."

_Narrator
Former Deputy Commander of Tokyo Branch's Demon Slayer Corps and its Hashira leader, Tomioka Guen has gone rogue since the death of Tsugikuni Hikaru.

Rumors of Guen were large.

It's said that she went on a rampage when Hikaru died, having done a roadkill on the streets of Tokyo with a Nichirin Car.

Guen has said to have committed manslaughter of over 30 innocents in her rampage against her husband's killer.

She encountered the Yatsuchizuki's Blood Moon 2, Rikyo, with her own infobroking efforts, back and forth with Muragarasu and Ryunoko Keodis.

Reports also mentioned that she has also committed violence against the streets, having murdered businessmen and Yakuza, hanging their corpses on lamp posts, in cold blood.

It's said that she also killed Tsugikuni Itachi, Himari's cousin, an asshole he may be, and whatever the implications, he was still family.

Guen has not yet been registered as a criminal despite her offenses, Takaya paid well to keep her hidden.

The Kyoto Branch Board of Directors, on the other hand, has went against Takaya's pleas.

Guen is wanted across Japan by all Corps, she is to be captured.

Once captured, she is to be executed.

---

"That essence in your bloodstream, Soryu." Guen recognized with her Transparent World vision, seeing it all.

"It seems that Kenzō has find successors. About time. Could have been sooner, that way, my husband could've lived."

Miyuki and Guen got into a catfight.

"DONT SAY A WORD AGAINST MY FATHER!"

"Woah. Always the emotive one are ya. Your foolish dad is the reason why so many Corps members died. Anyways, fuck you if you wanna fight, I'll go see Dr. Rengoku later for a radiation checkup. So fuck off, you damn brat bitch."

Miyuki used her Demon Slayer Mark, she got a compass pattern in her arms, quickly delivering a Suzuwari against Guen.

Guen didn't Mark, she evaded and used her towel as a chokehold on Miyuki's throat.

"I can already tell you're rattled. I'll let her go, shall we have peace or do y'all want me to tear you into pieces.

Her bloodlust rises and the air around them becomes cold, her aura, oozing bloodlust that can be felt in 20m radius.

---

Hours Earlier...

After that bloodlusted display that Keodis demonstrated.

Guen had the establishment surrounded by her own Yakuza with guns.

"There is no goodwill, the strong takes from the weak and the weak submits."

"Tch... getting near you, makes me sick to the core. I hate losers who waste their potential over pleasures. I have a useful information..let us get down to business regarding Yuwaku Reiha and the Funeral Parlor."

As usual, Guen ignores the feelings of others and refused to apologize.

---

Present...
Keodis is outside of the Torigoya Onsen, Guen making him indirectly jealous by going to his rival, Muragarasu.

@13org@JrVader@Digmata@Taka

And so it escalated...
This feeling of premonition, my nose itched, ever since I got here.

That feeling of being watched by, I dreaded it, ever since I got here.

No other killing intent has pushed my senses this far, not since a Blood Moon.

I gasped, as many of the Hinoe died, and Captain Kairi & Kousai, reacted within a nick of time.

I didn't wanna remember it, the blood spilt, Hikaru's sacrifice, I was a fool for all of it. That bravado & swagger, got so many people killed – all because I drown upon my sorrows, drinking. This foreboding sensation, I can only cope by drinking to my heart's content & ignorant bliss.

Ryunosuke found himself entranced by the grotesque murder, reducing him into an anxiety-induced panic attack!

The veins of his sunesque crimson eyes, protruding & the massacre was flashing before his eyes, glistening!

Everything was on mute, each sensation of sounds, were reduced to white noise as from Ryunosuke's eyes, we see the one-sided murder!

Screams of people, begging him for help. Ryunosuke's heart, was on an er day as he heard his late sister's voice.

Brought back by the voice of his sister, Ryunosuke heard Kenzo's voice, amidst the merciless massacre.

"Ryunosuke! Snap out of it!"

Ryunosuke's closed and opened his eyes, witnessing the massacre, and the noises, no longer white, he hears them all.

He breathed in-and-out, and as he opened his eyes, everything seemed slow and transparent.

In that moment, he moved faster than lightning, falling like a meteor to the one that he'd hunt.

"Hinokami Kagura: Burning Bones, Summer Sun"

In a blink of an eye, Ryunosuke summoned the Mark's power, thousand times, the force, echoing from his right cheek, spreading across his body, the Mark appeared in both his arms, molding it into a fiery shape, parrying everything Ryoshu, dished, plenty of Fake Rainbows were of Ryunosuke's flexible evasion.

"Hinokami Kagura: "Clear Blue Sky!

In that instance, Ryoshu, surprised, by the sheer speed of the Sunswordsman.

The Blood Moon, Demon King of The Fifth Heaven, lost both his hands, and his head, nearly decapitated, barely regenerating.

"What is so fun about this? What made you think this is interesting...what exactly do you think the value of life is?"



All that Demon Lord could see was visions of a man, immobilizing a Demon King, & then an elderly version of the Sunswordsman, beating their current Demon King.

"You're a guy, I presume you must be a Demon Lord. Tch, if this was art school, I'd say you're trash." Ryunosuke taking a jab out of his foe.

I could've humored a certain Dictator, but that'd make a lot of people offended.

Ryunosuke thought. Seriously? Is this a Demon Lord? I don't see the difference fighting a Consort.

Arrogantly, letting his guard down, gloating, turning his back against his foe.

"GUYS! IT'S ALRIGHT! I GOT HIM!

Ryunosuke's on a catharsis.

"Seriously...why the heck did the Yatsuchizuki sent a feminine looking Demon? It felt as though, I dominated a Consort, no different from a Woman."

Rarely turning, and when he turned back, he splitted and kicked that son of a bitch, and turn his back against it again.

"Yo, I swear, if you're a Demon Lord, you should be demoted to Consort, you look like a woman that is a hot man, Demons can control their biology yeah? Why don't you just throw your demonic manhood away and give birth, grovel in the dirt and you're gonna like it, I will also kill your demonic children!

HAHAHA! Cry me a river, any man that is weak, is simply, a woman!"

"YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A WEAK WOMAN! YOU'RE WEAK, JUST LIKE YOUR CONSORT SISTERS, YOU SERVE ONE PURPOSE IN LIFE, YOUR PURPOSE IN LIFE IS TO BREED FOR 9 DAYS. CONCEIVE AND EASILY GET REPLACED. IF I HAVE A YEN FOR HOW MANY RASETSU THE CORPS HAVE KILLED, I'D BE RICHER THAN THE OYAKATA-SAMA!"
