Saving Him

Heavy pants escaped Rengoku's lips and blood dripped down his face as he continued to stare at Akaza's figure with a serious look on his face.

(Y/n) had blood dripping down the side of his face and neck, gazing at the demon with a blank look as he ignored the pain in his body.

"Don't die on me, Kyojuro and (Y/n)," Akaza says.

Rengoku kept his one good eye open as he continued to get his breathing situated, ignoring the metallic taste of blood in his mouth.

Tanjiro stared at the two swordsmen with fear of the two of them dying by Upper Moon Three.

'Rengoku-san... (Y/n)-kun... Rengoku-san... (Y/n)-kun... Rengoku-san... (Y/n)-kun...' Tanjiro thought.

"Even if you two fight with the intention to sacrifice your body, it's all pointless, Kyojuro and (Y/n). The wonderful slashes that you two attacked me with have already completely healed. But how about you two? Your left eye is smashed, your ribs are broken, and your organs are wounded. He has his lungs punctured, a broken ankle, and his right shoulder is severely injured. You two can't recover from this anymore. If you two were a demon, you would be cured in the blink of an eye. If you two were a demon this would be just a scratch. No matter how much you struggle, humans can't beat demons." Akaza calmly says.

Tanjiro did his best to push himself up to his feet, just for his limbs not to respond.

'There isn't any strength going into my limbs! It's probably because of the wounds, but I ended up like this when I used the Dance of the Fire God. But I wanna help out too...!!' Tanjiro thought.

(Y/n) grinned a little as he pointed the tip of his blade in Akaza's direction.

"Believe us or not..." He trailed off.

Rengoku smirked as he narrowed his single eye at Akaza. "We will fulfill our duties!!" He continued.

"We won't let anybody here die!!" (Y/n) and Rengoku said in sync.

Full Focus Breath; Breath of Flame: Eso Terica

Akaza's brows raised with an impressed look on his face when he saw how both Rengoku and (Y/n)'s battle spirits flared up.

"What wonderful fighting spirits... you two have so many wounds, yet both of your drives, your fortitude, and your stances have no openings. YOU BOTH REALLY SHOULD BECOME DEMONS, KYOJURO AND (Y/N)! Let's continue to fight for all eternity!" Akaza shouted.

Technique Deployment Destructive Kill: Obliteration Style

Ninth Form: Purgatory

'Sorry about this, Unknown. But I'm no longer your puppet you can control. I'm saving those I lost by the Upper Moons and Muzan.' (Y/n) thought as he brought in his own attack this time.

Breath of Storm Eighth Form: Thundering Typhoon

Tanjiro and Inosuke's eyes widened as smoke flew up into the sky, hiding the final results of the battle that had just happened between the two demon slayers and the Upper Moon.

Slowly, but surely, the smoke and dust disappeared showing the final results of what had happened.

Akaza's eyes widened when he saw a blade stuck up through his arm, and piercing through his chest.

Rengoku's blade was above his head, his eyes wide and serious when he saw that (Y/n) had saved him from a killing blow.

(Y/n) glared at Akaza's figure, coughing up blood that started to pile up in his throat.
