1st Person POV

I'm back in my own body, and my eyes immediately shift from the dead body of the demon to Tanjiro, who laid down weakly on the ground.

I pick him up, and he's thankfully fine, relieved to see me up again, pausing for a moment.
"Y/N...?"

Before we can move, the demon speaks up.

"All I needed to do was bring him your damn heads! That's all it would've taken to finally win his approval! I'll never forgive you! I'll make sure you pay for what you've done to me! My face is filthy because of you shoving it in the dirt!"

His hands barely move upwards, and all it took was one weak blink.
Arrows manifested right through us, going whichever way they pleased, and we have no time to react as now were thrown around like ragdolls against everything.

My back hit a tree, and the electric jolt of pain made me feel like I'm flickering.

I had to use everything in my body to avoid getting destroyed by the pressure, using every airbending form I knew to separate myself from the arrows at least for a moment.

I see Tanjiro still struggle, and I pause, feeling anger boil within me.

I fade out, only to reopen my eyes with Tanjiro safely in my arms, the two of us in the air as we landed with a gentle thud.

I pant, feeling weak as I'm still not used to this Avatar State. But at least Tanjiro was safe as the air around us formed a protective bubble.

"Nezuko... Miss Tamayo... Yushiro..."
His words make me fade out again, but not completely this time as my determination wouldn't let me double over in pain.

I'm running with him in my arms, and we see Nezuko and the temari woman kicking one of the balls between each other. Nobody seems to be badly wounded other than Tanjiro and I.

"Get away from Nezuko, you demon!"
My voice booms straight in her direction, and Tanjiro stops me before I can grab my sword.

"Who do you think you are?! You think some glowing will scare me?!"

I halt and notice Miss Tamayo begin to perform one of her spells, blood dripping down her arm.

"If you're one of the Twelve Kizuki, I have a question."

Tanjiro holds me back, and I gently place him down, letting him use my shoulder for support.

"Move out of the way, you damn fugitive!"
She yelled at her, glancing at me nervously now and then.

"Just one question. Do you have any idea who Kibutsuji really is?"

"What the hell are you saying?!
She seems offended.

"He's a coward, surely you realize that. He's in a constant state of fear."

Susamaru got angry again, threatening to launch her temari.
"How dare you-!"

"Move a muscle and you're mine."
Is all I had to say to hold her back.
