The Master's Product | Demon Slayer x Fem!YN

Chapter 4

Rengkou POV

  We all ran out of the mansion with the other Hashira, all of them stopping at the gates to the great estate. Obani was the first to speak up. 
  "Each of you goes in your own directions, if you find the young master then stay put so we can talk to her. However, if she is hurt, then run back to the mansion and take care of her. After an hour, if we find nothing we'll return to see if we either need to move out further or stand guard." We all agreed before taking off in our own directions. Tengen and Sanemi and I all gave nods as we ran in similar directions. 
  'The young master will have to be punished for this, but that's for later. I need to go east, perhaps she was still close by?' I thought as my breathing changed allowing me to go faster. Sanemi suddenly dashed to the side going to the far side of the mansion, Tengen did the same going upwards leaving me to continue. I looked over to the wall that guarded Y/N's room, surly a little thing like her couldn't jump over that, right? I brushed it off and continued to run finally seeing the wisteria grove and going ever more so quickly. The purple flowers gently caressed my form as I dashed through and spotted what looked like markings in the ground. 
  "Footprints!" I stopped and studied them. They went into the think pines except there's no way she could go in there willingly. Looking back down I saw that the footprints were-wait, no, they were going into the forest not away from them. Unless?
  Using a modified second form I leaped into the air and landed on a branch of one of the pines, closing my eyes and using my ears I listened. The sound of the other pillars, however faint, was still there making it harder to listen, but finally. A twig snapped followed by a loud scream. Everyone stopped looking into the forest. The scream was definitely hers but not of freight. She had been attacked!
  "Tengen!" I screamed for my brother in arms, a second later I saw the sound Hashira dart into the forest. I jumped down and followed him only an arms-length behind. We continued into the forest, ready for reinforcements only to hear what sounded like roots crawling across the ground, but if we wanted to save Y/N we couldn't stop. We continued to run.

  We ran and ran and ran. Tengen doing his best to run forward while listening in for any movement. Luckily, he pointed out a shoe which I stopped and grabbed. 
  "Y/N! She's close!" We again continued our chase, closer this time. Victory seemed to be in our hands until-

  "Ahhhh!" We both stopped to see Y/N being held by a demon, its hand alone behind able to hold up her tiny little body a few feet onto the ground. Her clothes had been torn around where her pockets were and she was missing one of her shoes. Part of it still stuck to her now bleeding shin. The demon itself was tall and brutish with a massive form and facial features like that of carp with long whiskers and a stretched hanging lip. It had massive fists with scales and legs with inhuman muscles which were able to somehow carry its body. Their skin was a deep gross purple, stained grey from fighting and bruises that had never healed.
  "Hmm, maybe I'll eat you two instead." The carp-faced demon threw Y/N to the side, her shoulder getting pierced all the way through leaving her unable to move as she was stuck to the side of a great pine. She wailed and screamed in pain. But before Tengen or I could move forward to help her, our enemy had already moved. 

  Tengen jumped out of the way, I followed as we did our best to go to Y/N but were continuously cut off before we could make it. 
  "Y/N!" Tengen screamed as the Demon looked as if it were going to attack her. Instinctively I awakened one of my forms, bringing out my blade and jumping between the carp-faced demon and her position.
  "Fourth Form: Blooming Flame Undulation!" My hands moved with my blade at incredible speeds as I made circular motions around me and Y/N. Protecting us both from the demon's attack. Tengen took this chance and went to strike the monster but somehow missed, unusual for the sound Hashira. 
  "Y/N!" I went and punched off the giant stake of wood that had penetrated through her shoulder, taking her into my arms and getting ready to run. But everything had gone quiet.
  "Tengen!" I yelled as I felt Y/N's blood start to run down and against my body. She was ice cold. I held her close to my body and looked around. I couldn't find the demon nor could I find Tengen. I tried again to jump up but couldn't risk hurting the young mistress more.
  "Don't worry, I'll get you out of here." I looked around and picked a path of trees, following it as fast as possible. As long as I went away from the moon I'd be close to the mansion.
