chapter 42

all of them were tired, it was almost daybreak... tanjiro thought he had defeated the demon.

but he was wrong.

the demon was still chasing the swordsmiths despite it being headless, nezuko desperately pointed towards the demon.

tanjiro turned and was horrified when it was still not dead, he was about to go and finish it off but...

poor nezuko started to burn under the sun, tanjiro panicked and quickly tried to shield her body by using his own.

but she was still burning,

"nezuko! shrink your body! shrink it!"

nezuko did what her brother had told her to do, but to no avail.

at this point tanjiro was having a panic attack, he couldn't decided whether he should chase the demon and finish it off or save his sister.

as if everything was in slow motion, nezuko kicked her brother off of her. launching him into the air.

now she was really under the sun, she raised her small fist and silently told her brother to go.

"would you look at that, it's daybreak. once the sun reaches this spot, we're done."

y/n stated, ayuna thought of running away. she started to sprint the other way, finding shelter from the sun.

"oh no you don't."

she again makes herself bleed,

"blood demon art... rope of cursed sins."

she raises her bleeding hand and as the blood drips down, it turns into a solid spiky rope.

as the rope gets longer, she controls it like a whip. as fast as lightning, the copy got caught in it.

y/n pulls the copy closer to her, ayuna couldn't break free, the spikes were trapping her.

"where do you think you're going?"

y/n stared at her, her eyes glowing.

"i told you didn't i? it's either i kill you or we both die from the sun."

"papa? where is mama?"

giyuu looked at his son, who was already awake.

"she's... somewhere, she'll be back. why are you up so early?"

hoshihiko raised his hands up, motioning for his father to pick him up, in which giyuu did.

"mama." the little boy yawned.

his father brushed the hair out of his face and lightly smiled,

"mama will be back."

the little boy nodded and snuggled closer to his father, falling asleep again.

"she'll be back..."
