Animeverse Slayer!

Leo and Sanemi were in deep thought.

The slayers were different from the past. After Leo passed on the true purpose of Breathing Techniques, Hashiras were able to go head to head against Upper Moons. The demons were well aware of this.

And yet they chose to attack when five Hashiras were present.

Leo thought for a moment and said, "Wait here, I'll be right back."

Before Sanemi could say anything Leo disappeared. Cursing under his breath Sanemi kept an eye on the battle.

Probably about ten minutes later Leo returned.

"No other demons."

Sanemi wasn't a master strategist but even he knew something was up.

Suddenly a ridiculous thought popped into their minds, they looked at each other.

"No way... "

"They didn't know...

It took them a minute to get over their shock.

Leo curled his lips, "Hehe, now this is fun."

Sanemi grinned, "That's some shitty luck!"

He didn't wait any longer and plunged towards Upper Moon Five. Leo shook his head and smiled.

Who knew demons would also have such a day.

Knowing this place was taken care of Leo rushed towards the other battlefield. He already sensed Kanroji joining the battle.

Sabito kept a safe distance and oversaw the battle. He saw Leo coming towards him and asked, "How did it go?"

Leo replied, "Sanemi is helping Muiichiro."

Sabito smiled, "That lunatic must be thrashing whichever Upper Moon it is."

Leo nodded and laughed. In all their years of battle this must have been the one with the least danger. The demons just delivered themselves to be killed.

"Where is Nezuko?"

Leo looked around and didn't find her.

Sabito pointed to the distance, "She got caught up in a strike and blew far away. Don't worry, she isn't hurt. And all other demons are focused here."

Leo nodded. He was about to say something when his face changed. He looked over the horizon, a spark of light was slowly coming to view.

The sun was rising!

Oh, no! Nezuko!

Leo's heart sunk. He didn't realize it was almost nearing dawn.

His body leaned forward and shot into the distance. This time he fully unleashed his strength. "Breath" rolled inside his energy pathways, his speed reached a new height.

His spirit sense was spread out covered a distance of hundred metres.

Each step he took covered tens of meters, finally he sensed her. At the edge of the forest, beneath a small cliff, on a open field.

Damn! Damn! Damn!!

Leo's expression turned ugly. There was no cover for her to hide.

The ground cracked and dispersed as he flew towards her.

He cursed himself. Usually slayers would hope for the sun to rise faster, he went about with that mentality and completely forgot about Nezuko.

When he reached her, the first wisp of sunlight had already sunk into the earth. He jumped off the cliff and landed infront of Nezuko. His tall body blocked most of the sunlight.

Leo's heart was in his throat. He picked her up, and dashed into the forest. She was burning in his arms.

He kicked on a huge tree, it broke from the middle and fell down. He continued to kick and created a shade with the fallen trunks.

He gently placed her down. Her skin was charred and ash was flying around.

Leo's eyes started to tear up, "Nezuko, hang in there!"

He didn't know what to do. Her body continued to give off smoke. Soon her entire body looked like it was coked.

When he thought everything was over the black surface started to peel off. Nezuko stood up, the black skin crumbled and scattered away.

She was back to herself!

Her body had no burn marks, instead her flesh had a faint blush to it. Nezuko saw Leo and snuggled into his c.h.e.s.t.

What just happened?

Leo was shocked. He thought for sure that she was dead but a second later she was fine. It was like a butterfly breaking out of it's cocoon.

When his mind calmed down he saw her spirit. Unlike before it didn't have that pitch black colour to it. Her chaotic emotions have also stabilised.

Is she changing back to a human?

Leo guessed. Before her soul was pitch black and her emotions were a mess, it looked like a demons. But now it was leaning towards a humans.

He was awoken by a group of flurried steps. Looking out he saw Tanjiro stumbling towards them in a sorry state.

"Nezuko... you are fine..."

He said those words and fell down. Sabito came right on his heels, he saw Nezuko was fine and let out a sigh of relief.

"That was a close call."

Leo nodded. Nezuko suddenly wiggled out of his embrace and dashed towards Tanjiro.

"Nezuko!"

Leo wanted to pull her back but then he paused.

Nezuko should instinctively fear the sun... could it be?

His guess was absolutely spot on. Nezuko walked out into the sun!!

She kneeled before Tanjiro and poked his cheek. Sabito had his jaws wide open when he saw this.

Leo laughed out heartily. He was happy, happy beyond words.

...

Nezuko conquered the sun...

Shinobu got the news and rushed to them. She immediately started a round of tests to find out what happened.

The battle against Upper Moon Five and Four resulted in a dominating victory. And Nezuko conquered the sun. This news heightened the morale of the corps.

The Hashiras were gathered.

"For this Hashira Meeting today. I, Ubuyashiki Amane will be attending in place of Ubuyashiki Kagaya."

"Master Kagaya's disease has gotten worse. He sends his apologies for being unable to attend this meeting in front of you all."

Gyomei and the rest bowed and said, "Understood. We will be praying for Oyakata-sama's flickering flame of life to last a bit longer. Even for a day."

"Please stay strong, Amane-sama."

The woman paused for a second, "He would like to thank you all."

"I am sure you have known about Nezuko. She has conquered the sun. Muzan will come for her and a battle determining the fate of the Corps will ensue."
