☁︎︎ Third POV

'The sun will be out soon. I have to make a run for it,' Akaza thought quickly, 'Damnit! I can't even get the mate in the situation I'm in!'

Akaza landed on the ground with a thud, he had to put his arms out so he could balance himself, but that was his mistake. In mere seconds, a blade spun through the air and cut Akaza's arms off. Of course, his eyes widened at the glass in the blade.

Akaza glanced at Y/n for a quick second since he was the one who threw the blade. Y/n was breathing heavily, blood spilling from his mouth. He held onto his ear in pain as his eyes were wide in horror.

"Don't you dare run away from what you did!!!" Y/n shouted, his voice scratchy.

Akaza tched and turned to the forest, he immediately made a break for it, running into the shade of the trees. Y/n staggered to get up as Tanjiro and Inosuke ran up to Akaza, even though he was running too far ahead.

Tanjiro suddenly raised his katana and aimed it. He breathed in and thrusted the katana like a spear, which hit Akaza's nonexistent heart. As the blade was flying in the air, Y/n was seen dashing in the forest, picking up his katana along the way.

"Don't run away you coward!!" Tanjiro yelled out, making Akaza look back and see him, and Y/n running towards him with a glint in his eyes, "Don't run awaaayyy!!!!"

Akaza's eyes widened when Y/n sudden appeared in front of his eyes. He reached out to take Y/n, but he was too slow, surprisingly. Y/n spun in the air and cut Akaza's arm off, catching him by surprise. The look in Y/n's eyes were terrifying, ones that been through hell and back.

"How dare you kill him..." Y/n said darkly, "How dare you kill Rengoku Kyojuro, then just run away like nothing happened!!!"

Akaza shivered under Y/n's stare, it was unbearable. He turned quickly and ran deeper in the forest, the sun peaking through the leaves already. Y/n wasn't giving up yet, sure he was tired, but he chased after Akaza, making sure to stay in some sunlight.

"The demon slayers will always fight you in the darkness of night when it's vantageous for you!!" Tanjiro's yells could be heard.

"We're humans!! Down to the flesh and bones!! Unlike you demons!!" Y/n yelled as well, adding onto Tanjiro's words.

"Wounds don't simply close up like you demons!! And the limbs we lose won't ever come back!!"

Y/n slide to a stop, knowing he will never catch up, "But that's what make us humans!! That's what makes us mentally stronger!!"

"Don't run you fucker!! Rengoku-San will always be more amazing!! He's stronger!! He's not going to lose!! He never let anyone die!! He fought till the end!! He protected till the end!! You're the loser!! Rengoku-San is the winner!! AAAAARRRRGGGHHH!!!!"

Y/n panted as he stared at Akaza's retreating figure. Tanjiro's yells were muffled, they were far, it just goes to show how far Y/n had ran out, and how much energy he had used. Y/n stance stumbled as he fallen to his knees.

Y/n coughed and hacked up some blood, sure it was his blood but he wasn't necessarily internally harmed. He continued to choke a bit before he threw up more blood, but following it was a yellow and red-tipped flower, the same flower Rengoku had gave to him.

"No... No, no, Kyo... please live..." Y/n coughed out, seeing the flower.

Y/n had an unknown ability, one that his father had had, and his father's father had. When Y/n consumes something - an object - that heavily reminded Y/n of someone he cares for he can tell when they were on the brink on death, or when they have died. Thus the reason why Y/n knows someone's well being. It was a painful process that only supports others while destroys Y/n from the inside.
