Inosuke was ready to jump in.

-3rd Person POV-
Kyojuro and Akaza have a small staredown before Akaza says, "Don't die like Tanjiro did, Kyojuro. Just say you'll become a demon." Kyojuro looked at Tanjiro and saw that he was bleeding a lot. Kyojuro looked back at Akaza but saw nothing. Akaza slammed his foot down while Kyojuro backs up and slashed Akaza's arms clean off. Akaza started to get the upper hand because of Kyojuro's state.
While the battle ensued, Inosuke started yelling at Tanjiro, "Tantaro... Pongaro... Tanjiro!" Tanjiro flinched at the yell ht didn't wake up. Inosuke began to slap and hit him which in turn hurt his hands.

-Inside Tanjiro's Mind-
Tanjiro woke up in a dark space. He was floating around in silence until he heard, "Kakarot... Kakarot." Tanjiro looked around but saw nothing. He asked, "W-Who's there?" "My son." Tanjiro heard that named mentioned before but didn't know where from. The only thing he thought was the man from his dreams. He then heard, "Listen, son, you do what it takes to survive, got it?" He began to remember but was cut off by a power skyrocketing.

-With The Battle-
Tanjiro jolted awake and saw Kyojuro in a very clean posture. He heard the demon, Akaza, laugh as he said, "So you have to become a demon, Kyojuro! Just imagine all the training we could do!" Kyojuro was badly injured but thought, "Set your heart ablaze. Overcome your limits!" Tanjiro felt the peak of his power and said to Inosuke, "His power just shot up. His power is incredible! But... It won't be enough to beat Akaza! We need to help Rengoku-san, now!" Inosuke looked at Tanjiro with an 'are you crazy?' face. Tanjiro got up, and with newfound determination, he began to power up just like Kyojuro. Akaza laughed, "So, you're not dead after all, Tanjiro! Why don't you join Kyojuro, hmm?" Tanjiro screamed aloud as rocks begin to float. Tanjiro jumped adjacent opposite to Kyojuro and behind Akaza. Tanjiro began to infuse his energy into his blade and started to exhale. Kyojuro watched Tanjiro get into position and say, "I am the Flame Hashira. Rengoku Kyojuro!" After saying that, both he and Tanjiro used,

Hinokami Kagura...

Ninth Form...

Dance!

Rengoku!

Both Tanjiro and Kyojuro launched at Akaza while Kyojuro destroyed and burnt the ground as he did so. Akaza started to sweatdrop as got into a stance and used,

Destructive Death... Final Form: Blue Silver Chaotic Afterglow!

Kyojuro and Tanjiro were held back as Akaza kept using it. Tanjiro began to scream louder while a kind of ape was heard behind that scream. Kyojuro looked at Tanjiro but put the full force of the ninth form. The first to cut through Akaza's defences was Tanjiro. Tanjiro immediately chased and pushed Akaza, cutting off his defences while Kyojuro pierced his back and vertically pulled the sword up and a tornado made of fire formed. Tanjiro bursts through the flames while Akaza gasped. Tanjiro's blade made contact with his neck. Kyojuro swung his blade on the opposite side while Akaza through a punch at Tanjiro. Tanjiro tanked the blow and dug his blade deeper in. Kyojuro started to cough out blood from the damage but kept pushing it in. Akaza threw another while thinking, "I have to somehow get away with this! I'll find a way! Punching should do just fine since this boy is badly wounded." Tanjiro coughed out blood from the punches. He almost gave up as well but thought, "I have to take him down! I have to take him down! I have to take him down now! If I don't take him out, everyone here might die to this demon! I have to endure the pain! Endure! For the sake of everyone! Even if it means I'd die with him!" His stomach began to bleed from all the punches he took. Akaza finally punched Tanjiro back and snapped Kyojuro's blade. He saw that the sun began to rise as he elbowed Kyojuro, knocking him out for good. Akaza thought, "I have to find refuge from the sunlight!" Tanjiro saw him jump into the forest and chased him. He threw his sword as a last-ditch effort which was successful. He grabbed him and kicked him up into the sky. Akaza burned up in the sky but fell because Tanjiro was too weak to kick him up high. Tanjiro did not give up though. Behind Tanjiro was Inosuke. Akaza dropped the sword and stopped to see Tanjiro send a dropkick. Inosuke jumped in but Tanjiro yelled, "Inosuke!" Akaza yelled, "Get out of here, brat! I've had enough of you, Tanjiro! Now die!" Tanjiro saw Inosuke fly out of the forest but was cut off by Akaza punching him. Tanjiro started to get angry while rocks and a yellow aura surrounded himself. Tanjiro's pupils disappeared and glared at Akaza. Akaza was shocked to see Tanjiro look at him because he just punched him. With a huge rage boost, Tanjiro started to move faster than Akaza and kicked him toward the forest. Lucky for Akaza, he was still in the shade from the sun. Tanjiro grabbed his sword and coldly said, "Akaza." Akaza got chills and saw a man overlapping him. That man had long, red hair and a red scar-looking thing on his forehead. Tanjiro moved towards Akaza starting shaking and punched Tanjiro. Tanjiro jumped over the punch and used,

Hinokami Kagura... Setting Sun Transformation!

Akaza was absolutely shocked as his head started to detach from his body. He was also confused as he thought, "What? By a brat like him? No way! I can still fight!" Akaza grabbed his head and put it on. Tanjiro was shocked to see Akaza being able to fight, despite having his head cut off. Tanjiro looked and punched his head far into the sky. It burned as Akaza's body started to get into a stance and use,

Destructive Death, Final Form: Blue Silver Chaotic Afterglow!

Akaza and Tanjiro's battle began again after Akaza deemed himself immune to beheading from Nichirin swords.

Chapter 60: End.

I'm so sorry if this chapter seemed bad like the last one. I'm not good at making fights, nor coming up with some.

-A Little Secret-
Tanjiro's rage toward Muzan was thrown at Akaza. Akaza started to fear Tanjiro after the new power he's showing. Tanjiro is also on par with Akaza with the new power he's shown. But will he be able to keep it up before his energy gives in?

Inosuke and Kyojuro are now put out of commission for the rest of the battle.
