That day, atnight...
Goku was sitting in his room of the Swordsmith Village. When suddenly, he heard someone knocking at the door twice. "Who's there?" he asked. The door opened, revealing Tanjiro and Nezuko. "Hello, Goku. Can we sleep here tonight?" asked Tanjiro. "Of course," said Goku. "I met Genya earlier, but he's just as rude as his brother..." said Tanjiro, sitting beside Goku. "I know. I met him too, when I was at the hot springs..." said the one-eyed boy. Then, Tanjiro started doing to Nezuko the sanem hairstyle as Mitsuri. "Did she ask you to do her the same hairstyle as Mitsuri-chan?" asked Goku. "Yeah, she did," replied Tanjiro. Then, Nezuko looked at Goku and smiled. "Mh!" she said. Goku patted her on the head. "Listen, Goku... Do you wish to defeat Muzan too?" asked Tanjiro. "Of course I do. I despise that man with every fiber of my body," replied Goku. "Me too. He's the one who killed my family..." said Tanjiro. "What about you? Why do you hate Muzan?" he then asked. "Because because of him, I never knew my father..." muttered Goku. "Oh, I see..." muttered Tanjiro.
After a while, Nezuko's new hairstyle was finished. "Mh!" she said. "This hairstyle fits you, Nezuko-chan..." said Goku. Nezuko smiled. "Look outside, Goku! The moon is beautiful tonight!" exclaimed Tanjiro. Goku looked outside the window, and then closed his eye, focusing. Meanwhile, on a distant place, in the Swordsmith Village, another villager was walking. "I might've soaked a little too long," he said. Suddenly, downstairs, he noticed a vase. "Mh? A vase? I didn't notice it when I went upstairs earlier..." said the villager. Suddenly, the vase absorbed him. The villager was then spat away, after being eaten alive by the vase. From the vase, Gyokko appeared. "Finally, we found this place!" he exclaimed. On a roof, there was Hantengu, fearful as usual. "Thanks to Gyokko, we found the village... But my Lord is in a rage!" he said. "We must kill them... All who stand up to my lord... We'll kill them all!". Later, in Goku's room, the boy was sleeping, leaning on a wall. On the floor, there were Tanjiro and Nezuko, who were hugging each other. Suddenly, Goku got woke up by Muichiro. "Do you know someone called Kanamori?" asked the Mist Hashira. "I don't. Try to ask Tanjiro-kun," replied Goku. Then, the boy woke Tanjiro up. "Uh? What is it, Goku?" he asked. "Do you know someone called Kanamori?" asked Muichiro. "Yes, I do know him," replied Tanjiro. "Why are you asking?" he asked. "Because Kanamori's my new swordsmith," replied Muichiro. "Why don't we go look for him?" asked Goku. "Huh? Why do you two care so much about other people?" asked Muichiro. "Tanjiro-kun cares because he's too kind. I care because I may have become cold, but if there's one thing I have left, it's my heart of gold," replied Goku. "...I see," muttered Muichiro. Suddenly, Nezuko woke up and hit Tanjiro's jaw with her head. "Ouch!" he said. "Hey! Sit up slower, next time!" said Goku. Then, Nezuko started running around Goku. (This girl... She's way too childish, but I'd sacrifice my life for her... She's like a little sister forme...) thought the boy.
Suddenly, Goku heard someone at the door. "Is someone there?" he wondered. Then, the door opened, revealing Hantengu. However, neither Goku, nor nobody else knew who he was. "He's an Upper Moon!" exclaimed Goku. "Mist Breathing: Fourth Form -- Shifting Flow Slash," said Muichiro, attacking Hantengu. However, Hantengu suddenly moved to the roof. "Sun Breathing: Seventh Form -- Sunflower Thrust!" exclaimed Goku. In a blink of an eye, Goku hit Hantengu, who fell on the floor. Immediately after, Nezuko kicked the Upper Moon, smashing him against a wall. Then, Muichiro beheaded Hantengu. "Huh? That's all?" wondered Goku. "No. He has some kind of secret ability..." said Goku. And actually, Goku's supposition were revealed to be true. From Hantengu's body and head, other two demons generated. One with green eyes and the kanji of "pleasure" on the tongue, while the other one had red eyes and the kanji of "rage" on the tongue. "As expectable..." muttered Goku. "I'll take the one in the back!" exclaimed Tanjiro, grabbing his sword and running towards a turned demon. Meanwhile, Tokito aimed to the other demon, the he just waved his fan. Suddenly, a green light crushed the roof. The power of the fan sended Tanjiro, Nezuko and Muichiro fly away. Fortunately, Nezuko managed to grip onto the edge of the house and grabbed Tanjiro's arm. However, Muichiro flew away. (Muichiro-kun has been sent flying...) thought Goku. But then, he smiled. "Finally, some action! I was starting to get bored!" he exclaimed, extracting his katana, even if damaged. "This is fun! Isn't it, Sekido?" said the demon with green eyes. "There's nothing funny about this, Karaku," said the demon with red eyes. Then, he smashes his stick against the wall. In that moment, Goku felt like a thunder invaded his body. (I'm being electrocuted by that stick... Tanjiro-kun and Nezuko-chan too...) he realized. Suddenly, someone arrived on the roof: Genya. The boy extracted his anti-demon gun, and shot Sekido. The thunder sensation in Goku's body stopped, but he fell on the floor, panting heavily. Then, Genya jumped out of the roof, beheading Karaku. "Genya-kun! It you behead 'em, they'll only get younger and stronger!" said Goku. And actually, once again, Goku's supposition were right. Other two demons generated. One of them had blue eyes and the kanji of "sadness" on the tongue. The other one, the fourth, had yellow eyes and the kanji of "joy" on the tongue. Furthermore, he also had wings. "Now there's four of them!" exclaimed Goku, getting up. Suddenly, the demon with wings grabbed Tanjiro and dragged him away. "Goku! Nezuko! Don't worry about me! I want you to help Genya!" exclaimed Tanjiro. However, it was too late. Genya had been stabbed in the stomach with a spear by the demon with blue eyes. "Genya-kun!" shouted Goku. "Sun Breathing: First Form -- Dance!" he exclaimed, cutting the demon's arm and pulling the spear out of Genya's body. "Genya-kun! Are you okay?" asked Goku. "Tsk... Yes, I am..." muttered Genya. But then, when Goku turned, he got stabbed by the demon's spear as well. "Got you," said the demon. "Goku..." muttered Genya. But when he tried to move, he got electrocuted by Sekido's staff. As for Nezuko, she got blocked by Karaku. (Shit... I have to find a way to get away from this situation...) thought Goku. "It makes me sad to kill someone as weak as you, you know," said the demon with blue eyes. "Kill me? Don't make me laugh! I'm Goku Tsugikuni, Yoriichi's heir!" shouted Goku.
Meanwhile, elsewhere, Muichiro was running towards the village, in order to protect it. Then, he heard Kotetsu, screaming and about to be killed by a fish with a case on the head. (My priority is to protect the village...) thought Muichiro. But then, the boy recalled Goku's words. (I may have become cold, but if there's one thing I have left, it's my heart of gold.) And so, Muichiro stopped. In a blink of an eye, he beheaded the fish. "Stay back, you're in the way," said the Hashira. Finally, the enemies have arrived.
