The door connected the room where they were fighting Douma with the corridor outside was abruptly opened by someone. The panicking voiced was heard out loud throughout the room.

"Ne-San! Kanao!"

A very familiar voice attracted both the sisters to look toward the source of the sound. She was in quite a terrifying state as blood were all over her body.

"Shinobu-Chan??"

The oldest female mumbled as she walked up toward the girl, a tightly hugged come afterward.

"I—I ran here as fast as I could when I know that the upper-rank two was annihilated. A—and I'm sorry."

The tears started to fell down from Shinobu's eyes, leaving the elder sister looked at her confusedly.

"I did said that I hate demon...but she protected me at the end.... I failed what you told me to do, and in the end...Tamayo-San protected me, giving me the chance to escape from him."

Shinobu tried her best for the tears not to fall down more than this.

"A-anyway I will tend your wound first!!"

Seeing how badly bandages or clothes was tied around her sister's shoulder to prevent her from losing too much blood, Shinobu hurriedly took out some of medical supplies that she brought along, and carefully taking care of the wounds.

"The fight with Twelve Kizuki probably almost ended now. The only one left is none other Muzan himself."

Kanae said while Shinobu was treating Inosuke's and Kanao's wounds right after she finished wrapping the bandages around Kanae's injuries. At the mentioned of Kibutsuji Muzan, Shinobu's eyes was dimming, then she spoke.

"If I'm that very smart like Ne-San always told me, then maybe the wretched demon probably be dead by now."

The tone that Shinobu said could be conveyed about the frustration that she felt about how her knowledge of making poison wasn't enough. Especially the way she couldn't make the poison that strong enough to kill off Muzan, regarding the help of Tamayo.

"Don't be frustrated at yourself, we all know how strong that demon was. It isn't anything weird that the normal poison wouldn't be able to take the life of him."

Kanae said calmly, wishing her word may help her younger sister to calm herself down.

"Anyway we should get going now."

As Kanae saw that Shinobu already finished tending everyone's wounds, she slowly standing up.

"The poison was too weak, or Muzan just too strong for any poisons to effect him? No one knows. But since that wasn't enough to take his life, and now that it seems like he could already recovered the damage from those poisons; we should get going. Everyone is heading toward him, we must too."

She walked up toward the door, opened it without any hesitation.

"Are you going to go help in the fight?"

Shinobu asked worriedly.

"You only have one arm left, it will be just like you throw your life away.... Even Uzui-San retired when he lost his arm in that fight in the red-light district."

"Well if it's a normal situation, I might also retired like Uzui-San. But this is the last fight. Even that it mean that I might die after this, it will still be worth fighting. At least he will die tonight, and other people including you won't have to be in any fear after tonight."

Kanae answered with a warm smiled.

"Can you stop playing like you're a heroine or something?"

Shinobu said sarcastically, but they all knows how worry she was.

"Well, it's the final battle anyway. Worth a shot to try even that there's also a high risk that we will die."

A loudly sighed could be heard loudly from Shinobu as she walked up toward her elder sister.

'Will that four substances in the potions enough to kill him? If it isn't enough, I wonder, will there be enough time for me to make one up without the help of Tamayo-San.'

The crow announced the current location of Muzan every time he changed his place. Or even how much of demon slayers that had been slaughtered by him along the way. Kanae and Shinobu walked along side each other; Kanao and Inosuke followed.

It was an unexpected meeting as they were aiming to find Muzan. At the corner of the hallway revealed two of the demon slayers. One with black hair and other with yellow.

"Zenitsu-kun? Murata-kun?"

Kanae called out as she noticed both of them, hoping that she weren't wrong about their name. And suddenly as if the yellow hair male forgot about the pain all over his body, he pushed the black hair person away and ran up to hug the elder female.

"Kanae-Sannnnn!!"

Ending in him receiving a kick from the younger one.

"I don't think there's anything to worry about him. He looks fine."

Shinobu stated without any kind of caring tone in her voice, it just being cold.

"Come on Shinobu, it's not that big of the deal. Take care of them, and we will continue."

"I might be wrong but, did you plan to go fight him?"

Murata asked with some of frightening tone could be heard. Kanae simply nodded, confirmed that his thought was right.

"If you don't want to, you can stay, but we will go."

Kanae said, not like she wants to bring more of innocent demon slayers into this, to risk all of their life.

"Not like it will really make much differences.... Hopefully."

The corridor went quite for a moment, until it was loud again because of the scream of Zenitsu.

"She tried to kill me!!"

He screamed loudly. Looks like Shinobu didn't really taking care of him careful and gentle like she did with her two sisters.

The crow once again flew past them, announced the current location of Muzan. And that's when some idea had popped up of Kanao's mind.

"Kanae-Nesan, is it possible for us to use the talisman on those crows? It could hide their presence, and I thought it might work for us too."

Kanao spoke out her idea, with some of anxiety, afraid that she might suggest something impossible.

"That's a great idea, we could do that!"

Kanae answered brightly.

"Good job for being able to think about that, you grow up so much."

She patted Kanao's head with a bright smile on her face. Without any seconds to waste, quite a few talismans had dropped down in-front of them. Enough for 6 of them and even more to give it to other people during the fight.

"I hope that would help you."

Without any doubt, it was surely that the Ubuyashiki had listened to their conversation, especially on Kanao's idea, and assisted them as fast as they could.

"Thank you so much, Kiriya-Sama."

They said, knowing that the people on the other side might already not pay attention to them anymore, as they too also focus on assisting other demon slayers throughout this battle field.

A/N: I'm sorry if there will be any kind of confusion. As the manga is showing every fights throughout the story, I have the feeling that every fight is occur at the same time, if not, a few seconds-minutes differences. It quite hard for me to adjust it together as I personally also not sure which part is happening at the same time or which one isn't and come before or after... I tried my best to make it kinda make senses =w=
