Hayami had never seen the demon king as frightened as he was now. His eyes went wide at the sight of dawn breaking over the horizon.
With a swift motion, the earth started to shake. And Sanemi, along with Obanai who was trying to keep Muzan from moving, was thrown back. The whips behind his back went after Hayami next, the only thought running through her mind as she slammed into a building was how many times had she been thrown into brick walls the past few hours. Too many to count, she'd suppose.
She groaned in pain as she took her now very dull blade between her teeth, her only arm raised to touch the back of her head, not only did she feel a liquid dripping out of her scalp, she couldn't feel the butterfly hairpin that once belonged to Kanae. Hayami turned her head slightly to see that the treasured hairpin of hers had shattered at the impact, and her hair flowed past her shoulders with nothing left to hold it in place.
"I know I can't save everyone, you were right Kanae, but we are so close. I know we can make it" She thought to herself as she sighed through her gritted teeth as she held her weapon once more. Looking back to the battlefield, she could see Giyuu giving Tanjiro a hand as he stood behind the young boy, gripping his blade with him as they both held Muzan in place.
The peace hashira widened her eyes as the demon king yelled out in pain, agony, and probably annoyance. But her wide eyes only went wider as she saw the form Kibutsuji Muzan took next, she felt so utterly disgusted and quite creeped out at the sight. The demon that once had sort of the form of a human, now had the form of a giant demon baby, if you will.
Those three words would have sounded silly to Hayami in the past, but seeing that it was exactly what she saw, it really was no laughing matter. She watched as the large creature swallowed Tanjiro's body inside its own. Quite similar to how Shinobu had died earlier.
"TANJIRO!" Hayami heard Giyuu yell out.
Muzan had long ignored the present hashiras as his new form started crawling toward an alleyway. Hayami knew exactly what he was doing, he was trying to hide away from the rising sun.
All the brigade of Kakushi had arrived, and they all started pushing bookshelves, and loose parts of buildings above. It seemed to have stopped Muzan in his place. But once the creature started crawling once more, Hayami knew she had to think fast. She took her weapon as she pushed herself off the ground.
The Kakushi started driving the mobile vehicles left behind by the evacuated citizens of the town, into Muzan's creepy-looking body. But with one crush of his giant hand, the cars were smashed down into the earth. The Kakushi used up another alternative, they pushed a tram as hard as they can toward the demon king, doing their absolute best in order to stall time and not allow Muzan to get into any form of shade.
