 Rui's head falls to the ground, and his body collapses. Tanjiro also falls to the ground. The spider threads holding Nezuko burn away, and Nezuko falls to the ground. Y/n lands but then spits out blood and falls down next to Tanjiro

Y/n: I pushed myself too hard this time. I got the fight I wanted and in reward, I got this massive scar on my chest...

Author note: If you're wondering, the scar on Y/n's chest looks similar to Zoro's scar 👍

Tanjiro: Nezuko... Nezuko! Ngh... I won... I won... My father saved me... I'm not sure why I was able to unleash that attack with the kagura that's been in our family for generations. But that was what saved me! I was able to beat him!

Y/n: Hinokami Kagura you called it? That's an impressive technique!

Tanjiro: Y/n! That attack you blocked from killing me! It's scared on your body!!

Y/n: Yeah so what?

Tanjiro: That means it already healed!

Y/n: Well yeah. Did you see my eye? I got stage 2 now and you know that increases healing speed.

Tanjiro sits up, but his vision is blurry

Y/n: You probably need to lie down. I can't really move that well myself...

Tanjiro clutches at his chest

Y/n: Plus changing breathing styles probably hurt your lungs. Oh! and the ear ringing. You're probably in SO much pain.

Tanjiro begins crawling forward. Y/n gains a puzzled look

Y/n: You really gotta just focus on healing you kno-

Y/n and Tanjiro look behind them

Y/n: Tanjiro...We might have to actually fight for a little longer

Tanjiro: Come to think of it, I didn't smell ash after beheading him. Don't tell me...

Y/n: He's alive.

Rui's body approaches Tanjiro and Y/n

Tanjiro: Even though I chopped off his head?!

Rui pulls on some spider threads attached to his head

Rui: You thought you defeated me? Poor kid. Did your pathetic delusion bring you joy? I cut off my head myself with my own threads... before you could chop it off.

Y/n: Shit...

Y/n stands up slowly and walks over to Tanjiro to protect him. His legs are buckling due to his injuries. Even though they are largely healed they still happened, and he still feels fatigued even if the physical damage is gone

Y/n: Why can't you just die man...

Rui reattaches his head

Rui: It was only me and my threads that caught fire, right? I don't know if it's his sister's power, but thanks for getting me super annoyed. Now I can carve you up with no regrets.

Y/n: Just...calm down.

Rui: Blood Demon Art... Murderous Eye Basket!

Y/n's left eye slits and turns purple again as he gets into a defensive stance

Y/n: Why did it activate?

Blood Demon Art spider threads begin to surround Tanjiro and Y/n

Y/n: Go on.

Blood Demon Art spider threads cut into Y/n. He takes a knee as he's bleeding a lot. Due to his fatigue, his wounds aren't healing as fast as they would usually.
