Fast paced footsteps are barely heard at the rink of midnight. One brown hand was at the hilt of the scabbard sheath, which held a reflective purple sword. Moon earrings along with a haori designed as a magical night swaying in the wind.
Quick foots...

"Sun Breathing?" Tanjirou repeats confused. "What are you talking about?"
The man makes his way towards Tanjirou, pushing Y/n out the ways as pins the red haired boy down. "Let him go, sir." Y/n says as her hand moves towards the man, about to pull his hand off.
The man elbows her in the stomach, pushing her back. "Don't touch me you damn mutt! People like you don't have the right to be anywhere near me!"
The brown girl stumbles back in pain as she immediately brings her hand to her stomach, starting to feel immense pain rush in. Although Y/n's been acting as if she's okay, she is not. Her injuries have not healed, seeing as she only woke up yesterday. Each step she takes, pained her body. So one blow to the stomach by an ex-Hashira is sure to hurt like hell for her.
Tanjirou's eyes widen in anger as he notices Y/n's pained expression. "That's enough, you monster!" He kicks his leg up, pushing the male back as he stands up. Immediately, he makes his way over to Y/n, wrapping his arm around her shoulder and pulling her into his chest protectively as he glares at the man angrily.
"Why are you acting like this, anyway? Insulting your own child, who's lost his life..." Tanjirou looks over to Y/n, who's obviously trying to hide her pain. "And to say such cruel things about someone you don't know, just because of their skin..."
"Tanjirou..." Y/n gives him a half smile. "Seriously, it's okay."
"You..." The man's eyes narrow at Tanjirou. "You're mocking us, aren't you?"
"What makes you say that?" Tanjirou asks very confused. "I have no idea what you mean! Now you're just slandering me!"
"That's because, not only did you bring that mutt with you!" His gaze flickers to Y/n for a moment, nothing but hatred in his eyes once he does. "You're a wielder of the Sun Breathing technique! I know all about those earrings! I-it was in the book!"
Tanjirou stares at him with both anger and confusion. 'Sun Breathing... Could he be talking about Hinokami Kagura?'
"First Breathing." The man states as he points at the red haired teen. "The first breathing technique ever created! The most powerful of them all! And all the other techniques are derived from Sun Breathing! All the others just mimic Sun Breathing. They're just cheap imitations, retrograde versions of Sun Breathing! Fire, Water, Wind... All of Them!"
Y/n stares at the man, not knowing how to react nor feel. 'I'm not suppose to hear this, am I? Why am I here again? I don't know. Should I go?' Her thoughts ponder her mine, trying to figure out what she should do. Should she leave? Or should she stay? What reason would she have to stay?
