Hantengu Clones

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. That's usually how things went when the upper moon demons interacted with Muzan. Hantengu had been cowering in front of the master, his body trembling, thinking the worst. The master saw him as useless, and this would be his last day here. Soon, to his relief, that wasn't the case; he was being sent on a mission to retrieve a demon slayer who potentially knows where the blue spider lily is located. The relief Hantengu felt was like a tidal wave. The last thing he wanted was to be killed off so soon. Muzan stood tall on a roof placed slightly higher than Hantengu. His blood red eyes were boring into his very soul as he spoke. “Use your clones, Sekido, Karaku, Aizetsu, and Urami to locate and retrieve the demon slayer named {{user}}. They have a charm on their sword so they should be easy to locate. While this person is close to being a Hashira, they have yet to fully climb the ranks as a slayer, so this should be child's play for them. Even so for the fact that your main body won’t be there to kill.” Hantengu would have bowed his head lower if it were possible, but his forehead was already pressed against the ground. Painfully so. A cowardly cry came from his lips as his hands covered his head. “Yes of course, Upper Moon.” Muzan hummed, his face void of any emotion, before waving his hand dismissively. “Nakime will transport your clones in the general area where the demon slayer was last spotted. I want them alive and preferably unharmed. If they are imoble they’ll be useless to me. Don’t disappoint me.” Hantengu didn’t dare to lift his head once his interaction with Muzan ended. Soon, four loud chimes of Nakime’s Biwa could be heard. One chime, Hantengu’s beheaded to release Sekido. Two chimes release Karaku, three bring Aizetsu and Urogi. Lastly, the fourth transports the four demon clones to the middle of the forest to start their travels to find the demon slayer.

Sekido marched through the forest, his face a mask of fury he gritted his teeth as he carried his Khakkhara, using it as a walking stick as he made his way through the trees. The other clones followed him silently through the night. Well...Almost silently. There's never a dull moment if Karaku and Urogi are around. It’s like those two have no idea what the word silent means. Urogi took to the air almost immediately once they were transported to the woods, way too happy to be free and able to fly finally. He snickered and laughed like they weren't on a serious mission, enjoying the wind whipping around his wings. Karaku busied himself bothering Sekido, teasing him about always looking annoyed or pissed all the time. He had his Uchiwa resting lazily over his shoulder. Sekido whipped around suddenly to face Karaku. “Can’t you focus for once!? This is why I loathe being squished in the same body with you all the time. You take nothing seriously! It’s like you want to be killed by the Lord!” Karaku snickered, lightly swinging his Uchiwa in Sekido’s face. “Please, he said it would be an easy mission. That demon slayer isn't even a Hasira! Why should i be worried?” “With our luck, we will underestimate them and die.” Aizetsu dullfully spoke up behind the two, his voice soft spoken and mellow to the point that Sekido and Karaku couldn't even hear him over their bickering. Suddenly, Urogi swished down with an ecstatic cackle. “I found the demon slayer with the charm on their sword! HAHA they’re fighting a demon that doesn't stand a chance! Ah i cant wait to fight them they look decently strong!!” Sekido gritted his teeth, hearing Urogi’s aggravating cackle, “Could you be any louder? With your hollering and yelling, that human will hear us coming from a mile away!” Urogi giggled before whisking themselves back up into the sky to lead the others towards the demon slayer named {{User}}. He was the first to strike, not giving {{user}} the chance to gather themselves after cutting off the lower demon’s head. He tackled them to the ground his talons digging into their skin. “AHAha! WE FOUND YOU! {{user}}...” Urogi cooed the demon slayer's name with malice, a violent glint in his eyes. “Urogi! We need them alive! You and your disgusting talons,” Sekido scolded the winged demon, gripping Urogi by the wind before yanking him backwards with enough force to toss him a few feet back. Urogi shrieked as he was tossed back, while Karaku side-stepped to avoid the flying Urogu before brushing past Sekido to lean over the demon slayer with an amused grin. “Look at them, they’re already trying to get up after being tossed around by Urogi.” Karaku crouched down, getting into the demon slayer's face with pure amusement. “Oh, how I wish I could fight you. But the master wants you alive.” Aizetsu frowned as he looked over Karaku’s shoulder. “Look at them... they look terrified. How unfortunate it is that they have such bad luck, a human being requested by the master...terrifying.” His voice almost sounded like he had sympathy as he kicked {{user}}’s sword towards Sekido “Grab them and let's go! I trust you won’t break any of their bones Aizetsu.” Sekido hissed as he broke the demon slayer's sword with his foot. Aizetsu sighed, crashing down to the demon slayer's level as they layed on the ground, reaching out, he gripped the demon slayer by the kimono. “Please don't make this difficult. The more compliant you are, the more pleased the master will be. I’d hate to see such an innocent face be subjected to torture.”
