Leo Hayakawa: (HT) Chapter 5

== Chapter 5 ==
- Sitting at the table in the hut, Leo thinks for a minute -
LEO: (in head) Akaza.. those flame creatures.. Muzan.. Imperials. I'll make them pay. Every single one of them.
- Hayakawa walks into his old room and opens his old wardrobe, taking his old sword carrier which he kept on his back, and wearing it again. this time placing it over his slayer corps uniform and placing a brand new sword inside it, -
- The white handle of the sword paralleled the black holder, alongside the orange flame shaped tsuba. -
LEO: I'll kill Akaza with your sword Kyojuro. Rest easy.
- Hayakawa fixes his uniform, then leaves the hut going to more hashira training areas. -
- TIME SKIP -> 5 days later he is called to accompany a meeting with the hashira. -
- some give Hayakawa a look as he enters, as if to wonder why he's present. -
SHINOBU: (smiles) I invited Hayakawa.
SANEMI: (annoyed) why?
SHINOBU: he's strong enough to be a hashira. and with Rengoku's death we have an open spot.
- After hearing Shinobu's statement the others look at Hayakawa with different expressions. Mitsuri breaks the ice -
MITSURI: do you want to be a hashira Hayakawa?
- Leo looks at the ground for a second, he then looks back at Mitsuri. -
LEO: I'll avenge Kyojuro and kill Upper Rank 3.
- Everyone look shocked and surprised at the bold statement. -
LEO: After Upper Rank 3, I'll kill Muzan. And then the Imperials can pay too.
SANEMI: (smirks) I like this guy.
- Shinobu looks over at Hayakawa. -
MITSURI: Your breathing style though..
SHINOBU: You can use any breathing style.
- The others look shocked, Gyomei speaks up -
GYOMEI: Hayakawa. Do you use Sun Breathing?
LEO: I do, but I can copy other breathing styles too.
GYOMEI: I understand.
OBANAI: So if he did become a hashira, he'd be the sun hashira?
- Hayakawa stands listening to them all debate and he speaks up -
LEO: I won't become a hashira. I'll help you all but when Muzan is defeated.. I'm aiming for the Imperials.
GYOMEI: as long as you're okay with that Young Hayakawa.
- Hayakawa nods and as the others nod back a loud bang is heard, crows come flying alerting them of an attack. Hayakawa, Shinobu and Giyu are called into the fight -
- as they run to an open field on Bogano's surface they see Akaza along with 2 other notable demons. -
- Akaza smiles when he sees Hayakawa -
AKAZA: (smiling) It's you! you're a strong one.. (glances at Shinobu and Giyu) (frowns) where's Kyojuro?
LEO: (draws his sword by his hip) y'know where he is you bastard.
AKAZA: He would've been a strong demon.. the offer still stands for you.
LEO: (draws the sword on his back) die.
- Akaza and Hayakawa dash forward and clash, Akaza smiles at his opponents strength and Hayakawa smirks back. -
LEO: (shouting) TOMIOKA, SHINOBU, FIGHT THOSE 2 AWAY FROM US.
- Giyu and Shinobu nod and lead the demons away, Leo looks back at Akaza and pushes him creating distance between them. -
LEO: now I don't have to worry about hurting anyone else in the crossfire.
AKAZA: join me as a demon Hayakawa. Kyojuro died for nothing.. what a waste.
- Hayakawa grits his teeth and dashes at Akaza. Akaza blocks with his fists and they begin clashing back and fourth, Both eat away at the others stamina. -
AKAZA: Become a demon Hayakawa. You can be so much stronger.
- CROSS CUT -
- Tomioka and Shinobu both look at eachother while the demons decay infront of them. -
SHINOBU: they weren't Twelve Kizuki. 
GIYU: yeah.
- They both run back to where Akaza and Hayakawa were fighting, they see them head to head. -
- Giyu is impressed by Hayakawa's strength. -
GIYU: you said he has hashira strength, but this is extremely impressive.
SHINOBU: that demon killed Rengoku.
GIYU: (eyes widen) I see,
- As Akaza punches over and over, Hayakawa crosses his arms and uses both his swords as cover, while doing this he looks back and nods. Shinobu dashes over and moves Hayakawa, Giyu slashes and one of Akaza's arms fall off, regenerating quickly. -
AKAZA: (smiles) oh my. are all of your friends strong Hayakawa?
GIYU: seventh form: drop ripple thrust.
- Tomioka performs a precise, fast and accurate thrust with his blade, hitting Akaza and sending him back a few feet. As Akaza rushes back Hayakawa slides through Giyu's legs and uses "raging sun". He unleashes consecutive horizontal arcing slashes with each sword, cutting Akaza's legs. As Akaza falls forward with his legs regenerating Giyu uses "eight form: waterfall basin" where he cuts Akaza vertically in a flowing motion. -
- Akaza struggles to get up and frowns, he thinks to himself, "they're giving me no time to unleash any attacks." he attempts to dash forward but sees Shinobu appear before him in a flash. -
SHINOBU: Dance of the Beesting: True Flutter.
- Shinobu dashes at Akaza at a blinding speed and uses the momentum of her speed to then strengthen a single thrust into Akaza's chest and inject poison into him. Akaza falls for a second. Attempting to resist the poison, Giyu runs over and plunges his sword into Akaza's pelvis, stopping his legs from being able to move. -
- Akaza screams and yells trying to fight back, he turns his head and sees Hayakawa appearing above Giyu's head, as he falls he plunges his sword into Akaza's dominant arm. He then stands over him looking down at him with a look full of hatred. Akaza begins to panic more, he yells but its pointless. Hayakawa now holding Kyojuro's sword lifts his arm. -
- He performs a singular downwards vertical slash in an arcing motion, slicing half way through Akaza's neck, he then leans back and rips his other sword from Akaza's arm and performs a singular downwards vertical slash in an arcing motion from the other side of Akaza's neck. -
- The two swords slide past eachother as Akaza's head comes off and he begins to burn. -
