(Tanjiro's POV)

I remember my mother told me something, 'Look Tanjiro. It's your tou-san's taiyo dance. He's working with the flames so to make sure he avoids catastrophe or injury. We offer a dance to "Amaterasu, The God Of The Sun" at the beginning of the year and pray to her.' I look at father and started to get immersed in his dance. It was so smooth and have a very calm feeling. He swings his seven branched-sword and flip in the air. His haori and face cloth follow the flow of his movement. The flame around him enchances the looks of his dance moves.

At Tanjiro's home...

I asked, 'Tou-san, how can you dance so long eventhough your body is so frail. How can you endure the coldness of the snow for so long? My lungs will freeze.

He pats my head and answers, 'There's a way of breathing that makes your body temperature to shoot up very high. It feel like your blood in your blood vessels are boiling hot. It increases your endurance, agility, reactionspeedand strength dramatically. If you can perform the dance correctly, you can go on forever. Tanjiro, all you need is this dance and these earrings. Take this from me and make sure you pass these down to your eldest son in the future. You have to keep this tradition alive. That's what I promised.'

'Hai, tou-san...' I replied.

Flashback End

I quickly switch my breathing pattern and suddenly the air around me begin to evaporate. All the veins throughout my body begin to budge out and become bright red. Flame particles started to surround me. My whole eyes become red and started to bleed. My body temperature shoot up to an inhuman level of hotness. The scar on my forehead begin to turn into a red demon crest markings and glows bright red. I also enter the see through world at the same time. The demon widens his eyes when he witness my new transformation. I rise my sword and its burning flame become bright blue.

(Rui's POV)

What happened to his presence?! It's completely different from last time! Is hard to breathe in the air around me. I feel a burning sensation in my lungs when I breathe in the air. I have to endure this! Damn, it's gonna be a very tough fight now. His strength and speed are already far stronger and faster than me. Is almost like... Suddenly a image of a man appear beside him wearing the same hanafuda earrings with a ponytail. My body begins to shake uncontrollablly. It isMuzan-sama'sblood reacting? Is it a memory ofMuzan-sama? Who's that guy just now? It's doesn't matter, I have to focus on killing him now.

'Dance Of The Sun God! First Style Augmented Sun Waltz!' I yelled with all my might. I bring down my blade onto his attack and destroy his giant spider shaped threads immediately. It was burned to ashes and I immediately stomp my foot very hard on the ground leaving cracks on it then get into a low sword stance. He quickly jump back several metres from me and place his hands on the ground. The ground around him started to crack and pillars of threads started to burst out from the ground. I dodge all the thread pillars while rushing toward him in a zig-zag formation. He suddenly make another thread pillar that is bigger and thicker than the last one infront of me. I quickly plant one of my leg on the pillar and jump up high toward the sky.

In midair, I immediately release a sword technique, 'Dance Of The Sun God! Nineteen Style Augmented Sun Dragon Ringtail!' I do a horizontal slash in midair that creates a single gigantic slash that was coated in blue flames with sun shaped blades in it. The slash travels in an insane speed toward him

(Rui's POV)

My eyes widen while looking at a single massive line of blue flames approaching toward me in a speed that I cannot react in time nor dodge in time. No matter how many threads I created, they will be destroyed immediately. Before my death, I saw a flash image of a man and a woman. They reach their hands toward my face and cried.

'Enough already Rui. Come back to us...' they said. The giant blue fiery slash went through my neck and slashed my head off. My head fall onto the ground while my body is crumbling away in a slow rate. It is quite painful. It's feel like I am getting burned by the sun alive. No way... I got defeated... I'm gonna die now... I let downMuzan-samabut who're those two? Why do they cry for me?

(Tanjiro's POV)

All the threads in the area begin to disaapear slowly. I landed onto the ground and reverted back to my normal state. I cough out a bit of blood and kneel down in exhaustion. That form just now take a really big toll on my body. I'm also sweating a lot because my body temperature is too high. Standing up with my remaining stamina, I slowly walk toward Rui's chopped head and kneel right next to him.

I say, 'Nobody can serve my bonds with my sister. I hope in the next life you can find your real family and happiness. Don't become a demon when you reincarnate as a human.' while giving him a sad smile.

I get up and focus my blood flow through my legs and leap up toward Nezuko. Cutting all the threads that is tied to her and carry her down onto the ground. I check all her wounds and make sure she is fine. She is just sleeping to regenerate her wounds.

I hugged her and apologize in a teary tone, 'I'm... really sorry... Nezuko. If I had... defeat him earlier, I wouldn't have to suffer this pain. I'm... sorry for putting... you through this pain...' with tears dripping from my face.

The demon see this scene of me and Nezuko hugging. His eyes widen and suddenly gain a portion of his human's memories back.

End

I give Tanjiro a new form. This form is active when he make his body temperature very high. It increase all his stats and his blade's flame will turn bright blue. This form is dance of the sun god mode. Tanjro will take a big toll on his body when he deactivate the form. The limitation of this form is that he can only maintain it for 5 minutes but he can maintain the form longer through training.
