-Recap-

Y/n and Kyojuro both turned to each other before smiling at each other in determination. "SHALL WE TAKE OUR LEAVE Y/N-CHAN" Shouted Rengoku proudly as he smiled with his eyes closed and started to walk towards the exit of the Flame Estate.

"Let's go Kyo-Kun!!"

Running besides Rengoku, Y/n started to wonder if the demon was really going to be one of the twelve kizuki. 'Could be, so I better make sure to keep an eye on Kyojuro,' She thought.

"Y/n! I am very excited. I believe if this is one of the twelve kizuki, I will become a hashira right after I defeat them." Shouted Kyojuro with his normal enthusiastic voice. "I am just as excited as you are Kyo-kun" She replied just as aloud before she started to jump from tree to tree.

Even though she was confident in Kyojuro winning the battle, she couldn't help but feel worried. Call it an intuition, but Y/n believed that this might be the former lower moon as they often changed. Not to mention the fact that during the episode when Muzan killed off the lower moons, they were all there. Sighing she continued to focus on jumping to the next tree.

"Y/n-Chan, I wanted to ask. How can you catch up to me if you aren't using total concentration?" Questioned Rengoku as he was quite curious. Y/n sweat dropped at the sudden question, but was also panicking on the inside as Shinjuro had warned her not to show her true form to his son.

"I train," She said. 'It wouldn't hurt to lie right?' She thought. "Your father trains me everyday once you go to bed. Unlike you Kyojuro-kun, I don't get much injuries on missions, so I could train more." Y/n explained as she replied with a partially true answer.

"I see, but how do you not get injured easily? Whenever we come back from a mission, Y/n-chan, you always look like you came back from a short walk." Said Rengoku as he pouted in jealousy.

"Haha! Kyo-kun there's no need to be jealous." Y/n laughed out as she giggled at the male's antiques. "But it's not fair! Y/n, you're so strong!" Rengoku whined as he smiled at the girl. Y/n jumped back down to join Kyojuro. "Don't worry Kyojuro, I believe you are stronger than me!" She said as she looked at the boy's face before facing back forward.

"That makes me wonder. Y/n why don't you become a demon slayer! I believe that your skills are almost on par with a hashira!" Stated Kyojuro as he offered the idea. Y/n ran without a word as she had gone silent. Was she really that strong? She did defeat Shinjuro when she wasn't even aware of her demon blood art, but she couldn't be that strong. Right?

"I can't... because I can't use any type of breathing style. My physical body can not handle the power of using a breathing style." Y/n said out loud. 'Unless they allow a demonic hashira.' Snorting at that thought she thought back to her statement.

It was true that she couldn't use a breathing style. She wasn't able to use one. She had tried before. Again and again. Over and over. But nothing would happen, because she had the physical body of a demon. Demons were never made to wield any nichirin blade unless they were a slayer before they were turned.

"Hey, it's okay Y/n. I think you can be one even without a breathing style! I mean your kunais are incredibly strong. I still don't know how you use them so well!" Shouted Rengoku as he tried to cheer up the girl beside him. "Right," Replied Y/n as she smiled brightly at the male.

With that the rest of the run towards the demon was silent. Neither would speak, but they were perfectly fine with the silence. It gave them time to prepare for the fight.
