*Asura's POV*

I whipped my head around to see Tamayo standing as people ran past her screaming and shuddering all the same. The green-haired Yushiro stood by her side as she clawed at her own hands drawing enough blood to make a small puddle beneath her feet.

'It must be her Blood Demon art.' 

I looked around to see the attackers which were howling in rage just a few seconds ago drop down in almost a subservient pose. One of them who was eating directly from the middle of a man's chest was the only one that didn't fall, instead, he whipped his head up and stared directly at Tamayo.

"Grr...." He gave a snarl and went off running towards her with its boney legs.

"No, you don't. Wolf Breathing Third Form: Crimson Carnage" I stuck a Hiraishin Kunai right through its right leg, piercing straight through it and making the creature fall forward.

"Dragon Breathing Fourth Form: Wraith Steps"

" Water Breathing Ninth Form: Splashing Water Flow"

Me and Tanjiro set off and arrived in the blink of an eye in front of the creature.

*Crack*

I kicked the creature on its exposed leg as its bones snapped and ripped out of its flesh with a sick tear.

*Bang*

Tanjiro landed a solid hit on the creature's head with the back of his sword and before the creature even had the time to fall it was already down for the count.

"I'll be taking that." I took out my Hiraishin Kunai from its leg and cleaned it on the creature's Leather Armor.

There wasn't much to clean though as the Kunai barely had any blood on it. It seemed the creatures had a lot less blood through the blood they did have was horrible in smell.

"Follow us," Yushiro called.

"What about the others?" Tanjiro asked.

"Not our concern," Yushiro replied simply turning around.

"Don't worry about them. Their safety is guaranteed, the same could not be said for us if we remain here any longer." Tamayo said in a calm voice but slightly hesitant voice as her hand had already begun to heal.

"But-"

"It's no use Tanjiro, if we stay here any longer we'll just end up being the ones who'll be blamed for all of this making our tasks all the more difficult in the future." I cut Tanjiro off and started moving.

Tanjiro stayed there for a moment before breaking out of his stupor and running up to me.

As we were turning corners from the blood-filled street I decided to look back for a moment and saw flashes of bright red landing on the street with heavy thumps.

*5 minutes later*

"Nezuko and Ryuichi won't be hurt right?" Tanjiro asked.

" Yes, Horus can see any and all things approaching them from above and Fenris can pick them up and take them to safety faster than us anyway," I replied.

" Yushiro go and get them," Tamayo said and Yushiro gave a sound of disapproval.

" Don't worry they'll meet us at your place," I said flicking my kunai back into its holster under my wolf pelt. It had become a bit ragged.

"Not possible. I myself have set upwards around Miss Tamayo's residence, I can assure you even if Muzan himself was within 2 steps of our residence he would still only see, breathe and hear empty air. No mortal senses can pick up on its location." Yushiro said with confidence in his voice.

" You underestimate the King of Demons. Also, I was actually here because of a completely different assignment. One of my quests led me to a scroll with information on some allies in the area so I already had a rough idea of your position. The rest was easy." I said with a chuckle.

" Aren't you a bit too cocky in front of Miss Tamayo? Also, it isn't possible to reduce our location down to a reasonable distance" Yushiro said gritting his teeth.

" He's right Yushiro," Tamayo said calmly.

"But-" 

" You really are underestimating Kibutsuji Yushiro. Though I still have no clue on how you managed to pinpoint our location but you must have had a bright mind to achieve such a thing." Tamayo said curiously

" Pfft. Of course not it was easy as hell." I said with a chuckle.

" Why you?" Yushiro clenched his fist.

" The answer lies in what I said before. We already have crows in the sky so finding anyone in a not so crowded place is easy especially when I myself am tagging along." 

" You do stick out like a sore thumb." Yushiro threw a jab.

" Why, thank you. I do take particular pride in my vanity sometimes. So as I was saying all they had to do was find us and slowly walk through the town which they would have no problem traversing since they were placed far from us. Ah, there they are!"

As if on cue Ryuichi and Nezuko appeared from a street with Fenris following behind them.

*Bark*

"Whoa easy there Fenris." I laughed as I tried but failed to stop Fenris from licking me.

"Now where's the other one," I said and looked at the sky and a blue feathered eagle just so happened to crash directly into my face at that exact moment.

"Payment time," Horus shouted while the others only heard a happy caw.

"But I still don't understand why take the risk of bringing them here in the first place. Wouldn't it be better to hide them one or two towns back while you completed your task?" Tamayo asked and I actually heard a threat in her voice.

"This town was marked as trading one on the maps so it would require wide enough exits and entrances for people to move through it easily. Add to that the fact that no matter where you start attacking if you don't bring an absolute swarm of allies with you then it would be impossible to thoroughly keep a lookout. Any weak link in their chain would be enough for Fenris to go through unless it was Muzan himself of course who I was absolutely sure would not move himself and even if he did the chances of him capturing them would still be slim unless he was looking for them specifically. What can I say sitting around and giving orders makes a man laze." I said while Horus climbed onto my right shoulder.

'Though Muzan had exceeded my expectations so much my plan was still a gamble.' I made a mental rebuke on myself.

" Overestimating your opponent. A wise move in front of Kibutsuji. Then let's have a proper introduction. I'm Tamayo and this is Yushiro." Tamayo said with a slight smile.

" Name's Asura." I introduced myself with a smile.
