YOUR EYES GO WIDE, GRIPPING YOUR KATANA TIGHTLY.
"hinatsuruuu!!!" uzui screams, going to run for her but the obi were holding him and you back, "stop!!!"
you grit your teeth, trying to get passed but keep getting held back by the obi.
but you let out a quiet breath of relief as tanjiro forces himself upwards, using water breathing and his hinokami kagura at the same time and slicing the arms of the demon.
he was coughing and wheezing and most likely past his limit already, you furrow your eyebrows,
he's way past his limit, he shouldn't be able to even move anymore
you grunt as the demon lunges at tanjiro but before he could get there you and uzui had dashed forward, you were holding his sickles back with your blade while uzui was going for his neck.
you crouch in front of tanjiro.
"tanjiro kamado, i owe you one!!" uzui shouts.
"go for it's head as well!!" you shout, tanjiro nods, swinging his blade at gyuutaro's neck but right before wither blade could reach his neck, he had taken his sickles from your blade and used them to block each other blade.
you fall forwards from the amount of pressure you were putting to hold them back, your blade was chipped and damaged.
"you guys can't cut my head off! it's impossible!"
tanjiro tries to remove his blade but his gyuutaro's skin was growing around it just like what it had done to yours.
you grab your katana, going to push it into his neck but he catches it with its teeth, using the opportunity, uzui goes to ram his blade into the back of it's neck, but with a disgusting cracking sound, gyuutaro had twisted it's neck around, catching the tip of uzui's blade in his mouth.
but now your blade was free, you plunge it into his neck, there was no way you could slice it like this but if you had any chance to even help uzui do it would be all you would need.
gyuutaro obviously saw uzui as more of a threat, you were both hashira but you were far from his level. he's a shinobi and an extremely skilled hashira, you only became a hashira since kyojuro who had died. you were nothing more than a replacement.
but you pushed on aways, "hang in there, kamado, todoroki!!"
your lips part in slight shock as you and uzui are thrown off the building along with gyuutaro, you grit your teeth, you had forgotten about his feet.
and since your blade was in his neck and uzui's was in his mouth, when he jumped off, you were dragged with him.
in the second you were in the air, you could see daki's obi rapidly approaching tanjiro as zenitsu and inosuke were doing their best to hold them back.
you hit the ground, pulling your blade back with all your strength, stumbling backwards slightly.
blood was dripping down your arm and cuts were stationed over your face. you and uzui both ready your blades before swinging at gyuutaro, you were all moving faster than the naked eye could see, zooming backwards and forwards.
blocking the sickles became harder as gyuutaro was putting in more strength,
frost breathing, second form ; frozen stiff (lol don't mind the shitty names)
a thin, barely visible layer of ice covers gyuutaro, his moves becoming more stiff. he grits his teeth, you glare harsher than ever.
you couldn't hear anything, shouting and explosions were ringing in your ears.
your hands were starting to grow weaker, you were going at gyuutaro with all your might but it didn't seem to be enough. it never was enough. no matter what you did, you were never enough. you were always too weak, weaker than shoto, weaker than touya. and that wasn't good enough for your father, so he trained you relentlessly. harsher than shoto, harsh enough to make your quirk near perfection in his eyes.
the close distance with you and uzui was making it hard to use your quirk, if you used any ice it would hit him also, but at this point, it seemed as if you had no choice.
"stand back just a bit, uzui-san!" you scream over the noise, he glances over for a second, but trusting your judgement he makes a small step back.
you push your right hand forwards, shooting out a large thing of ice, and since gyuutaro wasn't expecting it, it went through his limbs. his eyes go wide, you grit your teeth, "go, go!!"
you and uzui both dash back forwards but despite his shock and confusion, gyuutaro had readied himself again.
with a quick movement of his sickle, uzui's hand went flying, you shout out loudly.
and within the second gyuutaro had jumped away, you went to follow him but all of a sudden your legs went weak, falling to the ground and coughing up a suspicious amount of blood.
you grit your teeth,
shit! he must have nicked me!
uzui was lying on the ground, his wrist was leaking blood and his shoulders were going purple. her certainly had a better poison resistance than you, being able to hold it for that long, but it must have been too much.
you collapse next to him, trying desperately to pick up your blade but your hands wouldn't go around.
you wheeze out, falling backwards onto the ground feeling your eyes shut.
