-Tanjiro’s POV-
Inosuke and Zenitsu came out of nowhere to cut the sashes around me and Hinatsuru. “Inosuke! Zenitsu!!” I yelled worriedly as the two continued to cut down the sashes.

“We’re being forced to change our plans!! We can’t get to the maggot girl at all! The three of us have to leave the mantis demon to the old guy!” Inosuke yelled, deflecting some attacks before Zenitsu started talking.

“Let’s get this girl first. And this one’s weaker than sickle man. Can you still move, Tanjiro?” Zenitsu asked, concerned as he sliced some attacks as well. “I can! But Uzui-san got poisoned and (Y/n)-san is hurt but I don’t know where exactly! We have to settle this as soon as we can!”

Sashes and blood blades soon came after me and I deflected them away from me and Hinatsuru-san as I was worried that she might get hurt as well. ‘Whoa! That was really close! He’s still coming after me even though he is fighting Uzui-san and (Y/n)-san.’

“Don’t worry about me! I’ll hide myself. Just worry about winning!” Hinatsuru said before running off. “AHAHAHAH! Your movements are slowly getting duller! Who should I crush first!” Daki yelled as she continued to send her sharp sashes at us.

“The demon’s neck is far too soft for us to cut! We either have to go at the right speed or get her head from multiple directions!!” I yelled hoping that they would understand and help me come up with a plan to defeat her so we can go and help the other two with the stronger demon.

“If we take the multiple directions option, leave it to the awesome dual wielding powers, dammit! The three of us can beat this girl!” Inosuke yelled as he immediately charged at the female trusting us to cover him.

-3rd Person POV-
“Alright Zenitsu, protect Inosuke!” Tanjiro yelled as he got the response of, “Kay.” “Breath of the Beast: Eighth Fang: Pig Assault!” Inosuke said aloud before charging straight forward toward the demon, not caring for any of the attacks coming for him as he just simply jumped over some of them.

“Breath of Water: Third Form: Beating Tide!” “Breath of Lightning: First Form: ThunderClap-Flash Eightfold!” Tanjiro and Zenistu said, attacking the sashes that were coming toward Inosuke as he got closer and closer.

‘This guy! He’s not giving a single care about defense and solely focusing on charging forward!’ Daki thought as she felt a pair of rigged blades against her arms as she stuck them up in defense.

“We’re settling this now! Sixth Fang!” Inosuke yelled as he was getting ready to slice in multiple directions. ‘He can’t cut my head. There’s no way he can cut my head! Not with those decrepit blades.’ Daki thought as Inosuke stomped his foot in the ground, getting a firm stance before ripping at her neck from multiple directions. “Jagged Knawl!” As Daki’s head flung in the air, Tanjiro yelled, “You did it, Inosuke!”

Inosuke then jumped up and grabbed the head before putting it under his arm, running away from the others. “Head! Head! Head! Now to take it far away so they can’t put it back on!!”

“For now, I will just take this head and run off into the distance. You guys go help the old man!” Inosuke yelled, coming up with a smart plan for once. (We all love smart Inosuke) “Alright! Careful, Inosuke!” Tanjiro yelled, telling Inosuke that he heard him. “Right!”

“Shithead boar! Lemme go!” Daki yelled, starting to use her hair to attack her captor, just for Inosuke to cut the hair easily as he continued to run. “Guahahaha! That attack was dull as shit!” Inosuke teased earning a response from the demon.

“What was that!” “You may not be dead, but you turned into a weakling after I cut off your head, your vital point, off! Guahahaha-” Inosuke would have kept laughing if it wasn’t for the fact that someone pushed him out of the way of a deadly attack.

Inosuke landed on the roof near the edge, still holding onto Daki’s head. “What the- Hey who pushed-” As soon as he said this he turned behind him to see that (Y/n) got stabbed right in the left side above her waist.

“(Y/N)!!!!” Tanjiro yelled as he tried to run over to where they were. ‘(Y/N)! (Y/N)! Crap the poison! That wound! Did she get pierced in the stomach! It’s so dark I can’t see! Shit! Shit!’ I thought as I saw the demon have trouble getting his sickle out since (Y/n) seemed to stay strong and hold the demon there so that Inosuke could run, but he didn’t until.

“WRUN! DUMPBASS!” (Y/n) yelled. ‘Wait (Y/n) yelled! Oh my god she sounded like she was in so much pain!’ I thought as I was about to go and help her but noticed something was missing. ‘Wait! Why is this demon here!?! Where’s- UZUI-SAN!’

“Tanjiro! Watch out!” Zenitsu yelled, pushing Tanjiro off the roof as multiple sashes cut the area around them. ‘Dammit! Zenitsu forget about me! Sorry everyone… Nezuko…’

-(Y/n)’s POV-
Uzui fell to the ground after he got his hand cut off and stabbed in the side. I was stuck under some rubble as I yanked it out slightly twisting it, but was still able to move. I leapt onto the rooftops following after the demon as it suddenly ran off during our fight.

I made it past Tanjiro and Zenistu, noticing that the demon that they were facing was already decapitated. ‘Good job you two. Wait two.. I thought there were three of you.’ That was when I looked forward to seeing the male upper moon about to stab Inosuke.

My instincts reacted and I moved all on my own without even thinking. I pushed down on the roof as I stood a few feet behind him. I didn’t even have time to put my sword up. I just forced my hand as hard as I could down redirecting the path of the sickle sending it into my side. I coughed up blood as I could taste the iron in my mouth.

‘What an unpleasant taste..’ I thought as I held the upper moon’s hand and sickle there with one of my hands as the other was guarding his other hand as it also had a sickle ready to attack. ‘This is not- the situation I wanted to be in.’ I thought, coughing up a little more blood.

I looked behind me to the boar headed boy to see that he was just staring at me so I yelled hoping he understood me right. After that he got up again, tripping a little as beads of tears spilled out of his eyes. ‘Thank god, now back to you.’ I thought looking back at the demon with anger in my eyes.

The upper moon then twisted the sickle in my side causing me to gasp in pain loosening my grip on his forearm. With my loosened grip he ripped his sickle out to the left cutting more of my side, causing me to bleed immensely. ‘SHIT!’ I thought as I immediately went light headed.

‘I’m sorry…’

Sorry this took forever to update. I have been helping my mom design shirts and hoodies as she said that it would be easier if I did it and she paid me even though she didn’t have too.

What do you think is going to happen next? Will (Y/n) and the other be alright? What do y’all think?

I hope you enjoy reading this chapter and hope you have a nice day or night and I will see you all next time. Toodals!
