The demon held his hands together twiddling his fingers as he began to make a small web ball in his hands, the size of the ball increased every passing second, the webs around him changed shape, they now took the form of hands. 

He continued to make webs balls and once they were finished, he would place them into one of the hands made of web. 

You leapt off a nearby tree trunk, heading right for the demon, you a few feet away from your target you swung your blade at him cutting down two of the hands made of web and scraping your blade on the tree trunk he sat upon.

 Your blade suddenly came to a stop, the blade of your katana was stopped by one of the hands made from spider webs "tch" you grumbled as you pulled your blade out from its grasp another one of the hands swat itself at you but luckily you weren't it, you had kicked off of a tree branch.

 "I finished" the demon mumbled, you noticed that there was now a large bowl beside the demon, it was filled with his 'web balls' the hands made from web began to grab the webs balls and chuck them at you. 

You bent yourself back, avoiding one of the web balls, the ball had spattered onto a tree instead, your eyes widened as the sizzling noise filled your ears. The trees trunk was melting "he wasn't lying" you mumbled as you crunched your nose, you brought yourself back up and leapt back avoiding another web ball. 

The balls continued to come at you, and you did nothing but dodge them, you wanted to cut them down, but you weren't sure if they would melt your blade. 

"Your body is quite flexible, its well trained," the demon said as he watched you dodge another one of his webs balls 'he has no other fighting strategy but these balls and those spider webs but there heavy so their movements are slowed down and the balls numbers are decreasing faster than he can make new ones. So, if I play my cards right, I can end this right now.'

 You waited a few more minutes before finally attacking, you leapt into a tree, hiding within the leaves, you hopped branch after branch until you were a reasonable distance from his. 

You glanced at him through the leaves of the tree, he hadn't moved his eyes moves frantically, you heard it, you heard his raspy breathing and soon enough his eyes landed on you, he stared at you through the little space in between the leaves. The hands made of web began to chuck the webbed balls in your direction, you leapt through the leaves, heading right for the demon. 

You dodged the webbed balls soaring through the air, you then began to whip your blade around your figure, cutting down the webbed hands and the other things in your surroundings as you inched closer. 

  Fifth Petal: Petals of Grace Slash

You then whipped your katana's blade at the demon grunts and groans left the demons mouth as his eyes widened in fear as your blade cut through his neck, his body slumped over and soon enough both his head and body fell down from the tree branch.

 The demon began to cry as he stared at you helplessly "I'm going home, thank you... Be careful that man knows about you" the demon whispered as his head faded to ash. 'He knows, but how?... Tch, fucking Rai' you thought as your gritted your teeth together.

 "Chirp Chirp Chirp" the frantic and nervous chirps of a familiar little bird pulled you out of your thoughts "Chuntaro? Hey, wait where's Zenitsu?" You asked as you brought out your hand, the little bird landed on your palm, you watched as the bird chirped frantically and soon enough the faint heartbeat of Zenitsu filled your ears.

 'Somethings wrong, his heart is usually beating ten times faster' you thought as you stared at the panicking bird "Zenitsu hurt" you mumbled, Chuntaro chirped loudly once more before flying off in the direction of the heartbeat.

 You followed Chuntaro through the forest and eventually you were led to an open space in the middle was a house, the house was being held up in the air by its surroundings. 

You notice Chuntaro flying to the house, and you heard his heartbeat was much clearer now, but it was still faint, you jumped off of a tree trunk and landed on top of the house and there laid Zenitsu, barely conscious. 

"Y/n-chan" Zenitsu mumbled as he glanced at you "Don't talk, you're wasting your energy. You've been poisoned, I've never healed someone who's been poisoned and I'm unsure if I can heal you" you said with a sigh as a frown formed onto your face. You began to unbutton the top of his uniform "I'm glad you didn't stay back like a coward" you said as a small smile formed on your face "I wanted to make sure Y/n-chan and Nezuko-chan were safe" Zenitsu breathed out. 

You glanced at the yellow-haired boy, you then placed your hands flat onto his stomach and breathed in, attempting to concentrate. 

"Y/n-chan... there's a woman" Zenitsu mumbled, only to be cut off "I said don't talk, you're wasting your energy" you grumbled "Look at that you can heal poison injuries as well, you slightly healed him, but you didn't heal him fully" a voice of a female spoke out from behind you. You turned your head "Shinobu-san" you mumbled as you glanced back at Zenitsu and noticed that you barely healed but it was progress.

 "You shouldn't rush things, we're still unaware if there are side effects to your healing ability," Shinobu said as he knelt down beside you and injecting a needle into Zenitsu's arm.

 "There's a group of the injured over there, I'd appreciate it if you took Zenitsu there," Shinobu said "Okay," you said turning your head to look at her but she already took off. A sigh left your mouth as you dragged Zenitsu onto your back and you soon set off to the group of people, they weren't very far you would have gotten there faster if you ran but Zenitsu continued to whine claiming that the quick movements hurt his body. 

"Y/n-sama, he's injured, right? I'll take him, we don't want to burden you" a kakushi said as she and along with another kakushi took Zenitsu from you and began to wrap him in bandages, someone then tapped your shoulder you turned your head "Hello Kanao" you said as you turned around to face the girl, she then brought you hand up her palm was covered in a bandage. 

You nodded knowing that she wanted you to heal her injury, over the past months the two of you grew a strong bond and would often spar with one another, her being as quiet and indecisive as she is it was difficult for you to bond with her but over time it became easier to figure out what she wanted.

 "What happened," you asked as you undid the bandage, Kanao then grabbed her coin with her other hand and flipped it into the air catching it with the same hand and it revealed 'tails' she shook her head.

 You held her hand into your own as you breathed in and out, the familiar tingling sensation filled your body, her injury was now healed.

 "Let's head back to the butterfly estate!!" One of the kakushi yelled, both you and Kanao watched ass the kakushi hauled the injured away "So many people were injured" you said with a frown.
