Author's Notes: This chapter is mainly the Natsgumo mountain arc with the spider demons. Everything won't be the same as in the manga/anime. It might also seem rushed because it was a little challenging to write-.

Warnings: Possible mentions of triggering scenes such as swearing, depression, abuse, and bloody scenes.

Katsumi sighed softly as they reached their destination. She, Shinobu, and Giyuu were tasked with providing help to the previous demon slayers tasked with this mission. Apparently, a lower moon was present, as well as five other demons at Natsgumo mountain. They had wiped out multiple parties of demon slayers.

The groups before them did not make it, fallen into the afterlife by these demons. She frowned as they walked into the fogged forest. The scent of death and blood was strong. Her sensitive ears caught on to heavy breaths and swords clashing in the distance. The battle was almost over. But there was fighting still going on. It was difficult to tell which side was winning. The scent of death from both humans and demons were to mixed in the air.

The three hashira stopped, Shinobu and Giyuu glancing over to the dragon pillar. Silently asking her to use her sharp senses. She closed her eyes and listened closely, and smelt the air. After a few seconds, she opened her eyes. 

"They are scattered in different directions but not far. Three battles are currently going on, so are three demons still alive, one of them being a lower moon. I would guess lower moon five or six from their presence, but we have several injured slayers. Some severally by the scent. We need to hurry" she explained before pointing in the directions where the demons were.

Shinobu nodded and took off in one direction to handle a female spider demon while Giyuu and Katsumi went to handle the lower moon demon. The others who accompanied them rushed to find the injured demon slayers.

But when Katsumi and Giyuu had arrived at the scene several minutes later, it seemed that a young demon slayer with hanafuda earrings had already defeated him...along with another demon? She had a scent familiar to the boy beside her and no scent of blood on her. A demon with no scent of blood?. Not even a drop?.

"She is a demon?" she questioned as the two hashira walked up to them. The demon girl was not attacking the boy. Giyuu frowned at the two, opening his mouth to speak but then decided not to.

The boy's eyes widened when he noticed the duo approaching, recognition shining in his eyes.

"You are-"

He was cut off when suddenly Shinobu had jumped down from a tree, her blade aiming for the demon girl. But before her sword could get close to the demon, Giyuu had jumped in front of her and blocked Shinobu with his own blade, causing the two female hashiras to look at him confused.

Not as confused as Katsumi in how she was here already-.

"Oh? What's this?~ Why are you getting in the way, Tomioka-san?~ That's a demon behind you?" Shinobu said as she jumped back, gracefully landing on her feet with her blade to her side.
