AKARI GROWLED as she looked at Muzan Kibutsuji. The man who took everything away from her.

Everyone had been transported to the Infinite Castle.

There were no Demon Slayer's around. Just Muzan, Tamayo and Akari.

Akari could hear fighting around her. She wanted to help but right now Akari and Tamayo were trapped.

'Inside this flesh cocoon, he's most likely trying to dissolve the medicine that makes him human. We're going to get absorbed at some point too. So please. Someone come here already! Please!' Tamayo panicked.

⇇

TANJIRO AND GIYUU had been fighting Akaza.

'I have to defeat him so I can help Akari and Tamayo-san! Please just hold on!'  Tanjiro continued to fight.

LITTLE DID Akari know, Tamayo was using her sharp nails little by little to set Akari free.

Akari felt herself begin to fall down the many floors as she watched Muzan get free and slaughter all the demon slayer's.

Akari was frozen as she watched Muzan impale Tamayo's face with his nails.

Akari watched as everything was falling apart. The slayer's were dying. Tamayo was going to die.

Oyakata's beloved children are all going to die.

What should she do?

What can she do to help?

What should she do??!

Akari's eyes widened.

She needs to do something.

Akari gripped the walls with her nails and and stopped herself from falling.

She needs to use her kekkijutsu. It can help drastically to defeat Muzan.

MUZAN FELT someone kick his back.

He was too focussed on the demon slayer's that he forgot about Akari.

He turned to see Akari growling as her veins were popping out.

"Akari." Muzan said.

Akari charged towards him and began to attack him. Doing anything she can to weaken Muzan's state.

He charged towards her and raised her hands attempting to claw at her.

But his arm was exploded.

He looked up and saw that Akari had a grin on her face and her nose was bleeding.

"You little...I have done nothing but spared you and treated you well and this is how you treat me."

"You have never treated me well. You killed everyone. You took everyone away from me!" Akari yelled as tears were brimming in her eyes. "Give everyone back!"

"If I absorb you, you will be able to see everyone again. Everyone you lost. They're all waiting for you. So accept you fate. I am supposed to absorb you. That's your destiny."

"AKARI!" Tanjiro yelled. He ran towards Akari but stopped.

'MUZAN!'

"Tanjiro. Calm down." Giyuu said.

"Persistent." Muzan said. "You are all seriously persistent and it bores me. It sickens me from the bottom of my heart. Whenever you open your mouth you only remember that one dumb notion about avenging your parents, kids, siblings, or lovers. You all survived. That should be enough for you. So you're family got slaughtered. What's the problem here? Think of yourself as lucky and then go back to the way you lived before."

"What are you saying...?" Tanjiro said.

"Look at it this way. Being killed by me is the same as encountering a great calamity. You don't need to think so hard about it. Rains, winds, volcanos, eruptions, earthquakes. You can't get revenge on a natural disasters. No many how many lives it took away. You can't bring dead humans back to life. Why not just stop fussing over the issue all the time. And live quietly to earn your daily wages. Most humans live that life. Why can't you all do that? There's only one reason. The demon hunter's are an assembly of deviants. And I'm tired of dealing with deviants. I'm really the one who wants to end all of this."

"Muzan." Tanjiro began. "You are a being that should not be allowed to exist."

Muzan began to attack. His long arms slashing around everywhere.

The three all began to cut them trying to avoid getting hit.

Looking around, Mitsuri and Obanai were dead.

"TANJIRO!" Giyuu yelled as they continued to fight Muzan.

As Tanjiro kept fighting he got out of breath leaving him at risk.

But someone came to his aid.

"KNOCK IT OFF!!"

'Kanroji-san!" Akari became relieved.

Obanai got Tanjiro.

"You'll become a hindrance brat. You should get out of her now."

"Iguro-san...I'm so glad. You're alive...and Kanroji-san too." Tanjiro said.

"Rather then other's. Why don't you worry about yourself first." Obanai said.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING NAKIME!"

Nakime was under Yushiro's control.

"What am I doing?" Yushiro repeated. "I am manipulating this woman's vision."

Yushiro's voice was laced with venom.

"Muzan. You...have committed the heaviest sin in this world! You took Tamayo-sama away from me! I'll make you kneel and regret! From here on. I will drive you above ground!"
