Shinrin walked through the door, into the opening. Sanemi and Gyomei were fighting Kokushibo ''Hold out body'' She held her spear behind her, standing between the two pillars. Her breathing was hard, the spit in her mouth dry, body burning up ''If you are unable to fight Shinrin, step away'' 

Shinrin scoffed loudly, a golden mark starting from her fingertips to her left shoulder blade formed. It reminded her of a dragon hence the name 'golden dragon'. it didn't have wings for a defined head but he twist around her arm and shoulder blades, she couldn't help it

''What you talking about? This is tip top shape for me'' The pillars didn't wait a second later, running at Kobushibo. Shinrin was last to attack, using a small one to save her strength. While she changed stance, Kobushibo grabbed her face pushing Sanemi blade down into the floor. Shinrin didn't try to realise herself and kicked Kobushibo elbow out, loosening his force on Sanemi blade

Kobushibo tightens his grip on Shinrin face, swishing her check. She gasped swinging her spear around trying to hit him. When that didn't work she bit his hand. He let her go, just in time before Gyomei attack that nearly taking off her head

''Moon breathing, third form, Loathsome Moon, Chains'' Their attack's merged together. They stopped to take a breath Gyomei shouted at them both ''We're not done yet!! Press on! His head! Until we cut off his head! He's head!'' ''Right!'' Gyomei sensed the change in Kobushino, pushing Sanemi and Shinrin back with his chain

Shinrin cried when their bodies were tone to spreads. Shinrin fell onto her knees, grabbing the back after they'll cut ''That fuck''

 ''All you did was tear my Kimono off. Not even an infant would die dorm that'' One pair of his eyes stared down Shinrin, awaiting her reaction ''If I can kill the three of you. Then everyone else will be defeated very easily''

''Arg!'' ''Shinazugawa!!'' Two of Sanemi fingers fell to the floor. Shinrin stood, whipping the blood out of her face. Blood pored and pored blocking her vision. She grasped her head, feeling the large cut deep in her forehead. Form her right ear to her left eye bow. Gyomei had saved her vision if she was only a few cementers forward, that attack would've graded her eyes out

Shinrin took a step forward, swinging her spear around her body, taking a stance similar to his 'Seventh form. So to block ninth form' Brought her spear around, harshly, sparks flying ''Breath of the moon'' both said together

''Stay behind, I know how to block these attacks. But unless you see an opening take it... Ninth form, Waning Moonswaths'' ''Mirror of Misfortune, Moonlit''

Her long circle shaped attack blocked his long straight forward attack. Her body chipped down, but the next one came, her block next. Sanemi eyes widen as the air picked up each swing of her sword ''She's mixing wind breathing with moon breathing'' ''What a true Hashira...'' Gyomei took off to her right. Shinrin moved her blocking swings to the right taking a step forward 

''Breath of the moon, eighth form, Moon-Dragon Ringtail'' ''Breath of the moon eighth form, Moon-Dragon Ringtail'' Kobushino was up in her face now, all six eyes locked to her ''You'll die like you did those many years ago''

Shinrin gasped as her uncle stopped moving, after cutting into her father's throat ''Uncle Yoriichi!!'' Her feet took out before her, running in front of her uncle arms held out. She didn't use her sword to block the blow she saw coming

Tears poured down her eyes ''Stop! Father please!'' Kobushino stopped just before her large belly ''Please father! He's already passed on!'' Kobushino stared at her belly with teary eyes. He looked up not ready to kill his own child, but past her black hair, he saw Yoriichi hollowed eyes. Angry took him. He didn't know what happened until all three of them were dead in half of the night of the blood moon

Shinrin felt weak to the knee, her gut twisting ''You kill me... And then you came back to raise me in another life! Did you want a second chance? Or have you raised me in other lives! And killed me then too! Answer me!''

Kobushino kicked her right knee, pushing her down into the ground ''Breath of the moon. Ninth form, Waning Moonswaths'' Shinrin on the ground cried into the blood ''Fuck! Fuck! FUCK!!'' She picked her spear up again, running toward him

''Breath of the moon. Fourteenth form... Catastrophe, Tenman Crescent Moon! Moon breathing. Tenth form, Drilling Slashes, Moon Through Bamboo Leaves! Wind breathing fourth form, Rising Dust Storm'' She was blinded by rage, not caring if she hit anyone other than Kobushino

The makers on the arm grew. Flames like the ones Kobushino, Yoriichi and Tanjirou had on their forehead, grew on her. Down her back across the other arm. Left and right she threw attacks, legs after arms they fell. But each time, her blade never reached his neck. He kept up form her attacks while attacking the other Hashira

''Shinrin-'' ''Work around her! She's getting closer than any of us'' Shinrin didn't waver for a second when Gyomei ball came past her shoulder, nipping a bit of skin. Kobushino shoulder was blown off. Shinrin sensed Muichiro shooting towards them. Averting her blade she slices up his chest, letting Muichiro dig his sword into Kobushino side

''Breath of the moon, Second Form. Pearl Flower Moongazing'' She nipped Muichiro check, slicing Kobushino neck. She felt so proud with herself when the spear might him ''Argg! Ag hrg!'' Shinrin a fairway over coughed up large amounts of blood. She felt her right rib taking a deep breath between the coughs. She didn't feel it move like the other

''Shit...'' She got her sword end, aiming it. She flinched at the gunshot, cutting in too deep. She spat more blood onto the floor ''Ahh'' She didn't know what she cut, but she shoved a cough into her cut, after the bleeding from her lung stopped

Kobushino, now surrounded by all Hishira. Pinned down by Genya's demon art. Let out an attack. Muichiro's lower end was cut off. Genya cut in half. The others little injuries. Shinrin pushed herself up again ''I can-- gh'' She landed flat on her face, the sound of her own heart in her ears, panic of losing her life titled in

Sanemi and Gyomei fought Kobushino with Muichiro's dying help ''Are you really giving up now?'' He sat in front of me, holding my spear

''I can't anymore'' He stood up, kicking her ribs ''You can! Get up! Get up you lazy shit of a sister!'' Akaruishi was a good big brother, yes. But sometimes he was cruel ''Get up! You can't die like this!'' Form his hand she took up her out of reach sword

She wasn't angry this time, as everything in her body burned. She kept herself calm, blood pouring off her into a paddle when she stood where ''Go on!'' Akaruishi kicked her back, making her tip

Smirking she picked herself up running towards Kobushino. Gyomei ball and axe were lined up to his neck. He couldn't escape. Sanemi screamed out, slamming his sword down on Gyomei ball. Shinrin with the final push got the ball to go down 

His head came off ''Moon breathing, fifth form, Moon Spirit Calamitous Eddy'' ''Don't ease up on the attacks! Drive him into a corner! Don't you dare let Tokitou and Genya sacrifice their lives in vain!'' Gyomei snapped at Snamei how stopped for a second

''Just what I was fucking thinking!! RRAAHH!! I'M GONNA HACK AND SLASH UNTIL THAT THING DISAPPEARS FROM THIS EARTH!!'' Again and again, they attack until his body swang with life again. His head grew growing with large spider arm

'Come on body, give me the sign! Please I'm begging! I'm am still never him!' A cold shiver went up, her spine. Her eyes widen, jumping through his legs. Kobushino growled down at her ''Too late'' Her red sword was in his gut ''Moon breathing, Seventeeth form...Cold Moon Air'' This was her form. Something he'll never see coming, or feel

Kobushino trembles, blood boiling ''This is...'' he didn't splatter out into 10 lines of blood with nothing left for his body to regrow. He smiled into her deep eyes. Around her sword, his body started to dispair

''Chikyū...'' Shinrin lip tremble meeting the normal face of her father, his soft hands tracing her cheek, pushing back her black hair ''You-- you can't call me that... I'm-- You don't have the right'' her sword echoed hitting the floor

Kobushino leant up kissing her forehead ''I'm sorry, my beautiful daughter''
