3rd Person Pov:


Sitting next to his little sister, the black haired demon said: "Crying's not gonna help. At least attach your own head yourself. You really are lacking in the brains department, huh." Daki was crying, but appreciated that he came to help her.

"Man, your face got burned? Take care of that thing. You were born with such a cute face, after all." he said, gently brushing his thumb over her burn mark, making it disappear within mere seconds.

Uzui, deciding to take this opportunity, sped towards the demon, ready to kill. However, the black haired demon, Gyutaro, had his own intentions. So, Uzui was forced to block the attack, while still taking minor damage.

"Heh, not bad. You stopped my attack there. And I struck with the intent to kill, too. Good for you, man. Good for you." said Gyutaro, taking a closer look at the man that he was facing.

He glared at Uzui, saying: "Lucky you, man. That face of yours... nice. I like your skin, too. Not a blemish, birthmark or scar to be seen, huh? And you have some meat on your bones, too. I can't gain weight, no matter what. You're a tall guy, too! I can see you're well over six feet tall!"

He let out a sigh, continuing: "You must get tons of attention from the ladies, don't you? I envy you. How I envy you! Would you mind just dropping dead? In the most agonizing way at that! Like getting skinned alive or maybe getting your belly slit open! And one more thing-"

His speech was stopped by none other than his sister, who said: "Onii-chan, he's no the only one. There's more! And kill the one who burned me, too! Promise me! I was working so hard, I was working super, super hard alone...! And yet they all got in the way and bullied me! They all kept bullying me!"

Rising his twin sickles in the air, Gyutaro said: "Yeah, yeah, unforgivable. My cute, dumb little sister was working so hard. I'll kill anyone who tries to bully her. Time to collect the debts. I'll collect one for every bruise they put on you."

Without hesitation, he began attacking the Hashira, who was ready to dodge, when, suddenly, (Y/N) had jumped in front of him, her sword held tightly in her hands. She took in a deep breath, the color of her sword changing from black to a nice, beautiful blue.

"Breath of Water, Eleventh Form, Dead Calm." she said quietly, but Uzui heard it. He was interested in her abilities, her strength, and her durability. She was the daughter of a legend, after all.

(Y/N) had managed to block the attack, a proud grin resting on her lips. "Hey, hey. That's not fair, now, is it?" asked Gyutaro, his eyes now fixated on the young Demon Slayer. She said: "Well, you two are fighting together, so are we."

"Onii-chan, that girl! You have to kill her! She has that (L/N) blood!" called Daki, wiping the last remains of her tears away, accusingly pointing her index finger at the other girl. "She has? What a shame. Such a pretty face, all for nothing." stated Gyutaro, attacking once more.


"Hey, you alive?" asked the boy with the boar hat, poking Tanjiro. He slowly opened his eyes, answering: "Y-Yeah, I'm alive. Ah, Inosuke? And Zenitsu? Wait, he's sleeping?" Coughing weakly, Tanjiro said: "Go and back up (Y/N) and Uzui-san, please..." "Leave it to me and recover, dammit! I'll go on a super rampage! I, the great Inosuke-sama, will go flashily!"


(Y/N) Pov:


"The envy, man. You really are a nice guy, huh? Protecting the humans, looking cool... And you're a saviour in their eyes, huh. I'm sure they'll shower love and gratitude upon you." said the black haired demon, looking at Uzui-san, who was protecting some bystanders.

I readied myself to attack him once more, as Uzui-san said: "Well, yeah. I'm a flashy, elegant, ladies' man, so of course. I even have three wives." The demon paused for a second, then began freaking out.

"You got three wives now?! You're kidding, right?! Right?! Unforgivable!" he yelled, using some sort of Blood Demon Art to attack us with slashed of blood. I exchanged a knowing look with Uzui-san, then used the Eleventh Form, Dead Calm once more.

While I was distracting the enemy, Uzui-san broke the ground, telling the innocent people to run away. "I see. So that's what you're trying to do." said the demon, suddenly right behind me. My eyes widened as I jumped into the air, barely dodging his weapons.

He continued to simply try to use close-ranged combat to hit me, but I did pretty well in reflecting his attacks with my sword. This is good. If I can keep him occupied just a bit longer, then Uzui-san has a chance to try and behead him.

"Really, what a shame. Someone with a healthy body like yours, with such a nice face... I almost feel bad for having to kill you." he said, grinning widely. His movements began getting faster, and I tried to keep up.

Gritting my teeth, I took in a certain breath. Moon Breathing, Second Form, Pearl Flower Moongazing. My sword changed its color from blue to purple, and a wave of crescent shaped slashed reached my enemy, some of them blocking his attacks while others attacked.

I did manage to cause him some damage. But it wasn't near enough. He wiped the blood from his face, his expression darkening. "How do you know that technique?" he asked, his voice even lower and more dangerous than before.

Not knowing what he meant, I kept quiet. "He was right all along. Your bloodline has to end. And I'll be the one to end it! Right now!" he called out, another wave of blood slashes speeding my way.

Trying to dodge, I managed to get closer to him, feeling how his attack did manage to graze me. But nothing vital was hit. Just a few, not so deep cuts on my arms and legs. One even on my cheek.

Sun Breathing, Fake Rainbow. I moved incredibly fast, creating an after image that was meant to distract him, while also activating another breathing technique. Sun Breathing, Sunflower Thrust.

I managed to pierce the demon's neck, about to finish him off, as I was suddenly flung back, my back hitting the wall with so much force that I broke through it, falling out of the building.
