☁︎︎ Third POV

Tanjiro laid on the ground as he was breathing heavily. He had his hand over the wound of where he had been stabbed. He tried to concentrate his breathing so that he wouldn't bleed so much.

"Tanjiro-San!" A familiar voice called out.

"So you can use full focus breaths all the time now! Impressive, impressive!!" Rengoku cheered as he appeared in Tanjiro's field of vision.

Tanjiro felt his head being lifted and placed on someone else's lap. He had to crane his neck a bit up to see who it was. He blushed a bit realizing that it was Y/n's lap. Y/n softly pet Tanjiro in a comforting manner.

"Y/n... Rengoku-San..." Tanjiro breathed out.

"Don't talk yet, Tanjiro-san. You're bleeding from the abdomen, I need you to listen to Kyojuro, alright?" Y/n stated.

Tanjiro could only nod and looked at Rengoku in waiting. Rengoku had his smile on his face as he and Y/n nodded to each other. Y/n used his breathing technique to clear the area of polluted air with his white clouds.

"Focus your breathing some more and raise the accuracy of your breaths," Rengoku started, "spread the sensitivity to every part of your body."

Tanjiro was panting as he was doing as he was told to do. Y/n was using his haori sleeve to cover up the bleeding wound. He could tell that Tanjiro was still bleeding out.

"There's a blood vessel, and it's broken. Y/n is helping you find it by pressuring it so it's easier to find."

A small shock went through Tanjiro's body and where Y/n was pressing his wound. Y/n narrowed his eyes slightly as puffs of clouds invsiably surrounded him.

Rengoku's eyes sharpened slightly, "There. Stop the bleeding. Stop the hemorrhage."

Tanjiro gritted his teeth as he tried to concentrate all his energy into his wound. Y/n knew that Tanjiro was doing a bit too much and was blindly trying to focus on healing and not to stop the bleeding.

Y/n pressed his finger on Tanjiro's forehead taking the male by slight surprise, "Focus on the bleeding first. Stop that than you can get healed. Focus, Tanjiro."

Tanjiro's eyes widened but then he started to breathe heavy. Y/n's eyes slightly widened he pulled away his haori and looked down at Tanjiro's wound.

"And it's stopped. Good job, Tanjiro-San, you did amazing," Y/n stated.

Rengoku let out a small laugh and then smiled, "If you master your breathing, you'll be able to accomplish various things. It's not like you can do everything, but you can definitely get stronger compared to how you were the day before."

Tanjiro's eyes shined at what Rengoku said. He looked up at Y/n who had his eyes closed in a happy manner, showing that he wanted to smile but of course couldn't.

"You did great Tanjiro-San. Everyone on the train is safe and alive, and no one has any life threatening injuries and it's all thanks to you since you were able to kill the demon. Good job, I think you deserve a well needed rest," Y/n stated.

Tanjiro let a smile take over his lips, "Hai," He said softly.

There was suddenly a loud bang and a crash sound. The three males turned to the side and saw that something or someone was here and had created a small crater with smoke in the area they had landed.

Y/n's hand hovered over his katana's handle as he saw blood red within the smoke. He felt a presence that was ice cold behind him, but thought nothing of it, thinking that it was either Sabito or Yoriichi watching over him.

The smoke cleared and there stood a demon with blue markings, pink hair and pale white skin. He seemed to have a smile on his lips as his smile and teal lashes became more visible. What stood out the most was his eyes saying 'upper moon 3'.

Y/n's eyes sharpened at the sight of the familiar demon. The same demon that had ate his family with his friends. The one demon that had eaten his brother, Kai. Y/n remembered his name; Akaza.

Akaza turned to Rengoku and Tanjiro, he seemed to not have noticed Y/n's presences yet. His eyes sharpened in slight glee as he disappeared from sight, well from Tanjiro's sight.

Akaza suddenly appeared near Tanjiro. He raised his fist ready to bash Tanjiro's head into a million peices. However, he was unable to do so as an almost-glass-like blade came and cut his raised arm in half.

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise. Rengoku's eyes widened since he wasn't the one who cut the demon. Y/n's eyes widened since he himself didn't know that he was the one who had cut the demon's arm.

Y/n side glanced his shoulder and saw Yoriichi with veins popping out of his forehead. Yoriichi was beyond pissed at Akaza and at the demon who attempted to rape Y/n. He was filled with hatred. His forearm was in Y/n's arm thus the reason why Y/n was able to cut Akaza's arm.

Akaza's eyes widened and he made eye contact with Y/n. A small shock shot through him in realization.

'The mate...'

Akaza raised his other hand and attempted to grab Y/n's face. However, as Y/n had raised his blade to protect himself, Rengoku sliced Akaza's arm off leaving him unable to use his arms for the time being.

Akaza jumped and leaped backwards, away from Y/n and Rengoku. He raised both of his arms and showed off that he had instantly healed within seconds.

Y/n placed Tanjiro's head on the ground softly and got up. He stood next to Rengoku as he lowered his head and stared down at the demon before them both.

Akaza let out a soft chuckle and licked his own blood off of his arm, "Nice blades. I wouldn't have guessed that the mate was good with one, I congratulate you for that," he stated.

Y/n heavily glared at the demon in front of him. His eyes held no shine as they had darkened with depression and loathing. His already dull eyes looked ice cold. Yoriichi stood behind Y/n ready for his signal.

This was an upper moon, 1/3 that Y/n had yet to meet. He clutched his katana with anger as it began to shake slightly. Tanjiro and Rengoku noticed Y/n's change in demeanor.

"Keep calm, Y/n, take it steady," Rengoku whispered to the shorter male.

"That fuck killed my little brother. He killed my family along with the other two upper moons. So, it's kinda hard to 'keep calm', Kyojuro," Y/n whispered, darkly.

Rengoku's and Tanjiro's eyes widened at what Y/n had said. Y/n had all the rights to be angry, hell, enraged, by this demon and both males knew that. Rengoku gulped down in slight fear of Y/n's change of persona, but said nothing and kept his smile.

Tanjiro's eyes were sill widened in horror and terror. Y/n had encountered and watched his family get eaten by none other than the uppermoons themselves. It must have been terrifying...

Yoriichi kept his hand on Y/n's shoulder. He was the only reason why Y/n hasn't moved an inch yet. If he were to let go, Y/n would've attacked Akaza head on, but Yoriichi stood his ground. He too was enraged at the sight of the upper demon but had to keep Y/n in check.

Akaza looked at both Rengoku and Y/n in slight hunger, one for blood one for the caringness and love of the other. He is ready to fight anyone for the love of Y/n, it just felt right, no matter what, like fate.

The group of males stood in the middle of the field. Waiting for someone to make a move or someone to talk. The tension was heavy and Tanjiro and Rengoku could barely breathe. But Y/n and Akaza were breathing just fine, both were ready to fight.
