Apparently many Demon Slayers have gone missing in the southern part of Mount Oyama, now having the suspicions that it's apart of the Kizuki, Sanemi was sent out on the mission, so that's exactly what he's doing, running there. He ran past the pathway, and then saw Kanae  running with him, he thought he would be enough for the mission, but it must be pretty bad for 2 Hashiras to come along.

"How are you today, Sanemi? This must be a very strong demon, or it could be multiple. I hope the Demon Slayers are alright, the Kakushi are finding the injured and bringing them back to my place, Shinobu-chan will look after them." She said so majestically, keeping her eyes on the path she's running.

"Yeah well hopefully we don't run into an upper Kizuki, they could be trouble." He responded bluntly, he really didn't know what to say to her, his mind goes blank and he loses his words.

They ran for a long time, keeping their pace and speed, they had arrived. The night sky was filled with stars, you could smell the wet, moist grounds, and a faint smell of blood. Him and Kanae split up into different routes, he ran through the forest, he found another Demon Slayer, with dark hair and without a haori, clearly struggling with the demon he was fighting.

"Stand back, I'll take this one, go find somebody to help." He shouted, the demon didn't look very strong, he could easily kill it. There's probably multiple demons on the mountain, hopefully there isn't a Kizuki, if Kanae got hurt, Sanemi wouldn't forgive himself.

"I'm sorry, but I think I can take care of this one! Maybe you should help some others or find a demon to kill, I know that I can decapitate this one!" The Demon Slayer shouted back, his courage and confidence reminded Sanemi of Masachika, they looked similar too, if the boy didn't share any similarities to Masachika, Sanemi would of shouted back and order him to stop out of spite. So Sanemi listened to the Demon Slayer, he ran off into the darkness, following the sounds of screams, he approached a demon who had a Demon Slayer wrapped in his arms.

He leaped into attack, as he didn't see the demon as a threat, just a piece of shit.

Wind Breathing, Seventh Form: Gale - Sudden Gusts!

He leaped into the sky, he swung his blade, a gust of wind let out and shredded the demon apart. The Demon Slayer that was being attacked seemed too injured to move, her bones were shattered and her stomach was split, Sanemi couldn't wait all night for help for her, so he ran into the night, telling the girl to stay where she was. He wasn't certain she was safe, though it would be bad if she died, it would be worse if he died, your first priority should be yourself, so naturally you have to take care of yourself more than anybody else, especially random people you don't know.

He ran off through a crowd of bushes, as he thrived through the forest, he heard the sound of a katana woosh, the sound held great power and the slice was heavy but light. To use a sword like that would take a skilled Demon Slayer, so obviously it was the Flower Hashira, Kanae Kocho.

As he got closer towards the sounds of attacks, all the noises suddenly stopped. He picked up his pace and ran faster. He saw Kanae lay lifeless on the floor, he ran over to her to check if she was okay. She was still breathing but her bones were definitely broken. He turned to face his right where he saw a demon that seemed to be a lower moon, the demon faded away, eyeing Kanae with sorrow. Did Sanemi feel bad for the demon since he doesn't know what it has been through? Of course not. Demons are fucking assholes. How could anyone feel sorry and see good in a demon? It legit kills people, 'good' or not, demons could never team with a human, they're heartless monsters.

In a small and weak tone, the Flower Pillar told him,"Shinazugawa, we did it..." she looked up to his face.

"What? You killed the demon, not me."

He carried her and walked her over until he could find somebody to take care of her. The sun had started rising, not being able to find someone, he carried her home. Around seven in the morning he had arrived at the Kocho Residence, he knocked at the door and explained what had happened to Shinobu and her sister's encounter with a lower Kizuki.

"Oh thank you, Shinazugawa-san, it was extremely nice of you to carry her back here." Shinobu thanked the Hashira for how much he cared for her sister, Sanemi said goodbye and left to his residence. As he walked along the path, honestly he was exhausted but he would never admit it, he denied it, actually. His body felt like dripping down and collapsing, it felt dead, just a lifeless corpse walking around. Why did he feel so tired? He hasn't been this tired in ages, so why now?

"Oh fuck it."

He decided to run to his residence and as soon as he got home he ran into his room. And just decided to lay there. He found his head becoming dizzy and his vision began to blur.

Sanemi's eyes started to open and his vision became clear again, it seemed to be evening now so he stood up and opened his door. He walked into the kitchen where he found Genya.

"Hey big bro, I made the ohagi that Kanae-san made before. You rushed into your room not too long ago and it made me worry so I made this for you." Genya offered him a plate as he looked down at his toes, knowing that his older brother would probably yell at him.

Sanemi snatched it out of his brother's hand and walked over to his room "Go away." He shouted, closing his door after.
