Tanjiro knew very little about y/n.

She usually kept quiet about her background and was away very often. When she was there, Tanjiro usually wouldn't notice until he spotted her.

Y/n was strange to Tanjiro.

Once, there was a whirlwind of emotions that surrounded the silent demon slayer as she sat beneath the moon. It was only that evening.

She'd been sitting with Nezuko, the girl patting y/n's head as though comforting her. And y/n? Y/n cried.

She cried, she cried and she cried.

"I failed them, y'know." she'd said between tears, "I failed them all but... I've got two of you I can still save."

Y/n has turned her head, allowing Tanjiro to see her soft smile, "I'll help Tanjiro turn you back into a human. You need blood from Upper Moons, right?"

Nezuko had hummed with a small concerned frown as y/n nodded once.

"I'd probably end up getting killed." y/n chuckled, "After all, he doesn't stop getting stronger. So, could you do a favor for me, Nezuko?"

Nezuko had nodded.

Tanjiro left, not wanting to eavesdrop on something important. But y/n was willing to help him turn his sister human again.

She'd been willing to fight all of the Demon Slayer Corps for his and Nezuko's sake even if she hadn't been around them for long. She was willing to put her life on the line so that Nezuko could live.

From the little bits and pieces y/n had gradually shared over the time they've interacted, Tanjiro knew y/n had lost everything to demons. Yet she was still willing to help him and Nezuko.

For that, Tanjiro was eternally grateful. He wanted to help y/n too. To help her gain the courage to speak with her brother again. Hell— even to help her make friends!

He was going to help her as best as he could but this damned trick 🍑, mid 🍑 fugly demon was getting in his way.

This demon who had killed many without even thinking twice. This demon who was planning to turn y/n into a demon without her consent.

Tanjiro gripped his blade a little tighter as he stared up at Daki who's hair had gone from black to green and white.

"A Hashira came, huh? How wonderful! Both that blank faced brat and a Hashira!" Daki exclaimed, eyes bright, "That man will certainly be pleased!"

'Her appearance changed! Not only that but she has a rather sinister smell.' Tanjiro thought, 'But Uzui-san went with Inosuke and Shiori, didn't he? That's good.'

"Hey! What're you doing out here!?" someone shouted and Tanjiro whipped around to find an angry looking man, "Take your argument somewhere else!"

Ah, they caused a ruckus.

"Tch, how annoying..." Daki scoffed.

"Get out of here!!! Don't leave the buildings-" Tanjiro began to warn the man but had to turned and block an attack with his blade.

Except, it cut his shoulder and chopped off the hand of the man behind him. Then, all around him were screams.

Whatever Daki had done cut up buildings and some of the unfortunate folks inside. Some were killed. Some were injured and other were just... extremely lucky to have been out of range.

"Calm down." Tanjiro told both himself and the injured man behind him, "Bind your arm with a cord to stop the bleeding and find somewhere safe."

Daki, who was still atop a building, smirked down at Tanjiro before turning away to go find y/n and create another problem for the Demon Slayers.
