Seventh Moon

Shinazugawa Sanemi: Four and Counting [END]

[AN: Whoa! That's it for Sanemi! I can't believe I've actually finished two routes! You guys are amazing for sticking with this and reading my silly ideas lol. Who's next? Honestly, I was planning on Uzui, but there is still no news about season 2! Ugh, what to do? Anyway, I hope you're all doing fine! Comment on who you want to see next. (Please do, let's talk).

Thank you for reading, as always!]

"My, my! I've never seen Shinazugawa-san like this before." Shinobu-san commented as she tried yet another salve on my burns. She winced a little, her own injuries hurting as well.

"It's weird. He's always angry, and loud. And scary like a rabid dog! But somehow, this silence is so much worse." Added Zenitsu. He's right about that. Sanemi's anger is usually red-hot and boiling. Always loud, and almost always violent.

"Speaking of silence, Zenitsu-san, please lower your voice. Tajirou-san and the others are still sleeping." Reminded Shinobu-san, a calm yet scary smile on her face, causing Zenitsu to yelp and whine. I smiled a little at the sight... if felt normal.

"There. Maybe you should get more sleep, Y/N-san." I examined myself in the hand mirror, seeing a huge bald patch on my head. Huge, burn scars were where hair should be. My face decorated with angry, red burns. No wonder Sanemi didn't want to see me.

"I don't get it. How come you're not healing at all? It's been two weeks." Genya wondered, examining my face a little too close for comfort. "Uhm... I'm not sure." It was a lie. I knew why I wasn't healing, and I knew just how I could recover. But with Sanemi mad at me, I don't think I could do anything at the moment. And I don't blame Sanemi for being mad at me, especially when I did exactly what he told me to not do. I should probably begin with what happened after the emergency summon.

We arrived almost at the same time as the other hashiras. We came upon what remained of the Ubuyashiki estate, and Himejima-san attacking Kibutsuji who was being held down by Tamayo-san. "This is it!" Sanemi declared as he unsheathed his sword. "Time to kill that bastard!" And as if triggered by Sanemi's words, many doors leading into the infinity castle opened up below us all.

We all rushed to our assigned teams, using my vision as a guide of the demons' locations. Before I could run off to Genya and Tanjiro, though, Sanemi grabbed me and planted a rough kiss on my lips. "Don't die!" He reminded, "you, too." Then Shinobu-san approached me, "I'm not going to kiss you, but you should hold on to this." She handed me a small case before running off to her assignment. I secured the box deep in my kimono and ran off to my team, taking care of all the low-level demons in our way.

Shinobu-san was able to make wisteria mist bombs. What it was and how it worked, I had no idea as she assured me that I'd die of poison if she demonstrates it and she'd rather not have Sanemi kill her. She took Iguro-san, Tsuyuri-san, and Inosuke with her to face Doma.

Sanemi was teamed with Tomioka-san, Himejima-san, Tokito-san, and Mitsuri-san to face Upper Moon One. They were aware of how the demon, Kokushibo, could have blades protrude from his body.

Tanjirou, Genya, and I were assigned to fight Akaza-san. It was an odd feeling. There was a need for me to face him – to avenge Kyojuro. But, at the same time, I didn't want him to get hurt. I still saw him as a friend. And by the look on his face when he saw us, he probably felt the same.

Tanjirou was angry; no, he was furious. Using his breathing technique, Tanjirou tried to cut off Akaza-san's head right away. And despite feeling like my heart would break, I did my best to support him by freezing Akaza-san's limbs. Genya used his gun and shot where Akaza-san would lean towards as he avoided Tanjirou's sword.
