Zane held his sword up by his head and pointed the blade directly at her as Tanjiro regathered himself, and Zane hardened his glare

"Upper Six"

Six: Its annoying me, so this time, I'm going to kill you.

She got a little serious as her veins bulged and her four belts charged right at Zane who tilted his upper body to the left and held his sword in a striking position a night sky blue stream appearing

Zane: (First Form: Ecliptic Slice!)

He slashed to the right and cut through the fabric of her belt surprising her then Tanjiro jumped at her breath now fire

Tanjiro: (Hinokami Kagura: Flame Dance!)

Six: (That was nothing to write home about. In the end, this is all it amounts to!)

He sliced down and she jumped back dodging the attack and used her belt to hit Tanjiro's neck and seemingly cut right through it but he disappeared confusing her as Zane looked around her hearing footsteps

Tanjiro: (Hinokami Kagura: Fake Rainbow.)

Now upside down behind her he saw the opening thread 

Tanjiro: (Hinokami Kagura: Fire Wheel!)

He sliced up in a similar manner to that of the Water Wheel but the thread snapped as he was smacked away he bounced off the ground and slide to a stop his body paralyzed in fear again but as well as the fallout from Hinokami Kagura

She spun around and charged at him intending to cut through him and right before the belt could make any contact with Tanjiro Zane jumped down in front of him his saving Tanjiro and jumping on top of a roof

Zane: Recover here!

He dropped Tanjiro and stabbed his sword into the roof as he jumped back down to face the demon and she swung her belts at him which he blocked jumping back taking a breath

Zane: (I'll take this... Upper Rank Demon down!)

On top of the building Tanjiro laid unconscious having attempted to force his body to recover so harshly 

Down on the street the demon began to walk towards Zane and cringed disgusted which then turning to anger

Six: You ugly piece of trash!  

Her belts freaked out cutting into the buildings to her sides and one was launched at him constantly changing angles in the air then flying at Zane who dodged and blocked another attack

He followed one behind him and deflected it away as he heard a belt flying at his back which he spun around and blocked as the demon flew at him and punched the ground missing 

Zane had jumped back and the demon jumped in the air and her belts reattached themselves to her body 

Down in the locker the other belts started to move and fly through the whole Tengen made back to their owner as the demon landed behind Zane and they clashed as she was hit by her belt 

Zane: (What the?)

He blocked another attack

Zane: (There are more belts entering her body! No. They're returning to her! Those must be what Inosuke sensed before!)

The belts fully entered her body and she dropped her head and belts as if she was unconscious

Zane: (Stand your ground! Calm your mind!)

He dashed forward and attempted to slice her neck as a smile crossed her face

Six: I knew it.

He slashed at her but she jumped away dodging his attack
