"Things are going to get real flashy!"

-With Tanjiro-
Tanjiro stood still while panting. Daki slowly walked to Tanjiro before saying, "You ugly piece of trash!" She sent many belts through the place. One from above, to the sides and behind. Tanjiro parried, dodged and slashed the belts while Daki punched his sword and almost slammed him to the ground. She was high in the air but was hit by a belt from behind. Tanjiro lightly gasped.
The broken belts, from Tengen and the others' cave, flew toward Tanjiro and Daki's position. Daki and Tanjiro's fight still went on as three more belts merged with her body. Tanjiro thought, "What's going on? The belts are entering her body! No. Are they going back into her? The one's that we're split off from her? Stand your ground! Get your breathing under control!" Tanjiro was about to attack but noticed the rise in her power which scared him. Daki said, "I knew it!" Tanjiro took a quick slash but noticed she disappeared. Daki stood atop a roof and said, "A Hashira... So a Hashira did come, after all! That's great! That will certainly please my master!" Daki went through a transformation, only changing her hair colour. Tanjiro thought, "She's transformed. What an ominous scent. It's making the back of my throat sting in pain! She's gained even more power, too! But is Uzui-san with Inosuke and the others? Then I can rest easy." A man came from inside a house and said, "You guys need to shut the hell up! What's the deal with that sword? You have a lot of nerve, brawling in front of my house! what kind of harassment is this?" Tanjiro thought, "No! We made too much noise, and now people are..." The mad adds, "I'll have you know that this Hanamachi is viable because we and our clients all follow the rules! People like Lulu aren't welcome here! Now get the hell out of my sight!" Daki got so mad and said, "Why don't you shut your trap?" She stood up while Tanjiro looked and her and pleaded inside his mind, "No! Don't do it!" Tanjiro yells, "Don't do it! Don't come this way! Step back! Stay inside your buildings!" Daki sent every single one for her belts everywhere while Tanjiro stood defensively in front of the man. Many slashes went throughout the path and buildings. Tanjiro's shoulder and left chest began to spurt blood while the man screams in pain. He held his arm while it bled. Many buildings fell apart from the damage they took and crumbled. Tanjiro had a face full of sorrow as blood kept dripping from his body. Many bodies lay all across the district all bloody. Screams were heard from the buildings as Tanjiro weakly instructed, "S-Stay calm... You'll survive! Tie it up with some string!" Daki smiled at the damage she'd done and began to walk away. Tanjiro started to shake in anger. He said, "Come back here!" His hair began to spike up and fall back to black. The wind picked up and circled Tanjiro as he said, "I won't let you get away with this! Not after what you just did!" Daki said, "What? Do you still have something to say? That's enough, ugly one." Tanjiro began to breathe heavily as he started to shake a bit more. She said, "The repulsive have no reason to live, anyway. So you can all just die and rot together." This finally set Tanjiro off. The angry boy heard many screams around the area as the man said, "All of you, stay inside! It's too dangerous, so stay hidden!" Tanjiro's hair finally spikes up into a yellowish tint while his body began to radiate a yellow light. Tanjiro glared at Daki ready to kill her without any hesitation.

-Shinjuro's Letter-
Dear Kamado,

I know that I wronged you. I hear that you've also been exchanging letters with Senjuro for the past four months, which is good. I'm ashamed that our first meeting went the way it did. At a time when my own incompetence had left me shattered, things went from bad to worse when my beloved wife succumbed to illness. Since then, I've done nothing but drink myself into a stupor and wallow. There's no bigger fool than me. Unlike me, Kyojuro and Senjuro are fine sons. Even after I abandoned them as their instructor, they trained by reading the Guide to Flame Breathing. Although Senjuro couldn't learn anything from it, Kyojuro became a Hashira. Even though there were only three volumes. He must be had more of Ruka. Of his Haha-Ue's blood. Both Kyojuro and Senjuro are fine boys. And Kamado-kun... You have an even more amazing power. I hear that those who are chosen to wield Sun Breathing... are born with the same red mark on their forehead that you have. And so I'm sure that you..."

-With Tanjiro-
Tanjiro thought, "No, Shinjuro-san. I wasn't born with this scar. Originally, it was a burn mark from when I protected my brother from a falling Brazier. Later, I injured myself there during Final Selection, and that's how it ended up the way it is now. I hear that my Chichi-Ue was born with a faint mark on his forehead, but that wasn't the case with me. I must not be a chosen wielder. But... Even so... Even if I'm not one of the chosen ones... Even if I'm not up to the task... there are times when I just can't back down! Because in this world, some lack human hearts! Killing for no reason without a second thought! Without any hint of remorse!" Daki was about to take off before Tanjiro appeared behind Daki and grabbed her leg. He thought, before cutting it off, "I won't allow... that kind of tyranny... no matter what!" Tanjiro cut her leg off and she responded with a kick to his chest. She hopped back while Tanjiro said, "Those lost lives will never return! They can never come back!" Tanjiro threw her severed leg while Daki grew another one. Tanjiro again said, "Those made of flesh and blood can't do what demons do. Why would you rob them? Why would you trample over their lives?" Daki put her hand against her head and thought, "I've heard those words before." The memory hit her like a truck.

-Daki/Muzan's Memory-
A man asked, "What do you find so entertaining? What's so amusing about this? What do you take life for, exactly?"

-With the Battle-
Daki asked herself, "Who is that? I don't know." Tanjiro said, "Why can't you understand?" The man inside Daki's head asked, "How can you forget?" Daki thought to herself, "This isn't me. These aren't my memories. It's the cells. Muzan-sama's! The memories of the cells..." She then saw another memory of the same man running slowly toward her/them.

Chapter 73: End.

Thank you all for 1.8k views. I greatly appreciate you reading my story (even though it was a bit, or is still, terrible.)

-A Little Secret-
The man (in Muzan's memory) and Tanjiro's adoptive family (The Kamado's) share a special relationship that spans back to the Sengoku period.
