In the future, in the Demon Slayers HQ...

 

 

 

 

 

"Kaze-san, can I ask you a question?"

A young man asked Kaze in a polite tone.

 

The young man was wearing the standard Demon Slayer uniform. But, a few things to note from him would be the scar on the top left of his forehead, which could be seen due to his black ruffled hair combed back. He also has dark red eyes with white pupils that appear lighter around the lower section of his irises. He was also wearing a black-and-seafoam-green checkered haori, hanafuda earrings that would scare a certain Demon King, and lastly, a large wooden box on his back.

"Of course, Tanjiro-kun. Go ahead, what's on the mind of my junior? This reliable big brother Hashira of yours will solve all your problems." Kaze said while smiling.

Kaze just like Tanjiro, wore the standard Demon Slayer uniform, however with a few differences, the edges of the collar of his black buttoned shirt was green while it was pretty much green tinted, covering it was a plain white haori, and the kanji for "Breeze" engraved on its back.  He was still wearing the same tattsuke-hakama pants just like anyone else, but instead of a white belt, Kaze wore one which was colored green. Just like most of the other Slayers, he wore a pair of zori with his straps being of the color black.

But out of all of the differences, one that let other people know of his status as a Hashira, would be the gold-colored buttons on Kaze's collar.

Another thing to note would be that Kaze had grown even more, now standing at 187 centimeters, his white hair that transitioned into a green still reaching his waist.

"Well, it's just that... Kaze-san, isn't Breeze and Wind practically the same? If that's the case, why would there be a Breeze Hashira and a Wind Hashira?" Tanjiro asked politely not trying to offend Kaze at all.

Kaze with the same smile on his face then says, "That's a very good question, Tanjiro-kun, and the answer would be quite simple. Breeze Breathing is an entirely different thing from Wind. For us to go in-depth..."

 

His voice trails off, his face becoming one of pensiveness and sighs,

"...We would need the help of a certa-"

Kaze stops himself as he sees a certain person who took a turn to the hallway where both him and Tanjiro were conversing

 

 

"Call your friends, Tanjiro-kun. It seems like we will be able to answer your question after all."

 

And with an excited smile, Kaze immediately dashes at the person who was just walking.

<Demon Slayer HQ's Courtyard>

 

 

 

 

 

Kaze had performed a few of his forms, a wooden sword being what he used.

 

The use of footwork, control of the body with only doing the utmost necessary movements as much as Kaze could, and masterful capabilities with the blade were a few things he had demonstrated as he did so.

 

To the few who were watching, that being Tanjiro, Inosuke, Zenitsu, and a fellow Hashira that had white hair, they had to admit at Kaze's mastery over his Breathing Style. While being a Hashira is already a more-than-enough testament, it did not change the fact being able to see it for one's own eyes was something better.

 

 

 

 

After all that, Kaze then looked at the other person with them.

 

The ~Wind Hashira, Sanemi Shinazugawa.~

 

"Alright, Sanemi-kun, attack me. After this, you won't owe me anything." Kaze said with an encouraging smile on his face, looking at the annoyed Sanemi who wanted to end things quickly.

Both of them were of course using wooden swords, just in case something went wrong.

 

 

Without another word escaping from Kaze, Sanemi quickly used his Wind Breathing, dashing quickly and heading to Kaze faster than what any of the three spectators could sense or even see.

 

[Wind Breathing - First Form: Dust Whirlwind Cutter]

Strong slashes descended, heading for Kaze. The wind that was generated from the attacks made it seem like Kaze was being attacked by multiple cyclones of fast moving wind.

 

Sanemi wasn't done yet and quickly followed it up with another form,

[Wind Breathing - Third Form: Clean Storm Wind Tree]

Multiple slashes quickly surrounded Sanemi, it was not only an offensive move, but it was also one that could defend as well.

 

Luckily, the spectators were a bit far away from the fight. With Zenitsu being the most thankful for such a thing while Tanjiro and Inosuke couldn't help but feel awe and admiration at the Wind Hashira's abilities.

 

 

"Ah, how nostalgic, I remember the first time I saw Wind Breathing's First Form, you know." Kaze says with a nostalgic smile, looking at the hurling slashes resembling wind calmly. Kaze then softly breathes, his sword being held by his two hands in the stance where one would normally vertically slash with.

[Breeze Breathing - Third Form: Serene Touch]

 

It seemed as if all the attacks were stopped by a gentle tap, with all that was left a calm breeze.

 

 

But to the trio who had closed their eyes when Sanemi performed his moves, all they could feel was the amount of wind pressure that shook the surroundings. They're hair, clothes, bushes, and even the leaves of the trees swaying.

 

When the wind quickly stopped, all they saw an even more annoyed Sanemi who was now angry while being carried as if a sack by Kaze, who was wearing a smug grin on his face.

"Put me down, bastard!"

"I don't think so, Sanemi-kun. After all, that's not how you should call your seniors." Kaze said with an even more wide grin, and gently laughing while Sanemi kept hitting him in the back.

"Did you see it, Tanjiro-kun and friends? This is the difference of Breeze and Wind, obvious and simple, right?"

Meanwhile, the trio nod their heads, each one of them having different thoughts about what was just demonstrated in front of them.

 

One couldn't help but think about the two Hashira's as amazing.

Another thought about how unfair the world really was, how could someone as pretty turn out to be a male? And one very strong at that.

Lastly, the other one just wanted to train even more and then fight both of the Hashira in front of him.

As if Kaze knew what they were really thinking, he sighed while shaking his head, "The three of you will understand sooner or later. Anyway, Hashira duty calls. See all of you guys later!~"

Kaze properly and quickly placed the angry Sanemi down. The training sword that he used back on its place, while Kaze, the Breeze Hashira, quickly disappeared.

And with that, the only thing left was the gentle breeze all the four who were still in the courtyard could feel.

[Word Count: 1138 Words]

A/N: Fun Fact about Kaze, most of the time, a breeze forms whenever he leaves an area. This is due to how he moves and enjoys doing such a thing.

He thinks it's cool and wanted to imitate it after his non-biological grandmother, Atsuko.

A former Wind Hashira, who saved him and brought him comfort with a hug and the gentle wind that burst forth when she slayed the demons that attacked the village Kaze previously lived in with his big sister.
