Akaza smirked wickedly at the Water Pillar.. he had been fighting that annoying brat.. Tanjiro and had seemingly finally been able to finally get rid of the boy once and for good having seemingly killed him in cold blood. "Giyuu! Join me! Become a demon! Don't be like Kyojiro and Tanjiro! We can fight for hundreds of years on end!.. We can become strong together! Become a demon and serve.. him. Become the new Upper 4. What do you say?" He stated raising his hand out smirking glaring into the Water Pillars soul with his golden eyes.

Giyuu grunted sweatdropping.. he was going to totally die! He had no chance.. even with the demon slayer mark he had been totally out matched! He had never in his life had thought he would see the day that he had been pushed into a corner in battle against anyone. Hell.. he bet he's even stronger than Gyomei! He stood no chance against Upper Moon 3.. is this what Kyojiro had to deal with?..

Giyuu felt helpless in this situation.. he stood no chance alone.. all the other Hashira had been far away doing their own battles.. while he was stuck with Tanjiro who he had thought to be dead.. he failed.. he failed to protect someone close to him again.. he was such a failure he thought to himself! He had been hopeless.. Shinobu had been right. He had no friends.. nobody wanted to ever be his friend since everyone who he had ever been close to had ended up dead! His family.. sister.. Sabito.. and now Tanjiro, his last friend.. dead. Giyuu wouldn't become a demon.. it would go against every Hashira code! He would never snoop that low no matter now dull or depressed he was. He would rather die fighting like a man against this monster like Tanjiro and Kyojiro and both done tightening the grip on his blade staring on at Akaza not saying a word to the Demon but before he could say anything nor do anything suddenly his eyes widened looking on absolutely shocked.. it had been Tanjiro! He was alive! He was standing right there behind him somehow unseen by Akaza and somehow his compass wasn't detecting the boy whatsoever.

Akaza had been looking on confused at why the dull powerful Water Hashira he had just met had said nothing.. he had been waiting standing there for a few moments now having his question unanswered still.. this man was certainly more powerful than that impressive Flame Hashira that nearly killed him! He would make a fine new Upper Moon having many spots open for him to fill one of them up!.. Akaza had then saw his expression noticing he had looked shocked.. he had been looking in the direction behind him and he had gotten very confused.. was he trying to find the brat's body? Of the boy he had just finally been able to finish off for good?

"AKAZAAAAAAA! I WILL CUT YOUR HEAD OFF RIGHT NOW!" A loud battle cry shout could be heard out right from behind him coming from the voice he least expected to hear again.. Akaza's Heart sunk.. he had looked on quickly behind himself looking at Tanjiro dead in the eyes.. how the hell did he survive! And why didn't his Blood Art Compass didn't work?! This information was crazy.. that has never happened before! Not even against Kokoshibo or Douma! Kyojiro... absolutely nobody.. not any of the pillars either. Akaza had quickly swooped around quickly shooting his fist right out swiftly at incredible speeds aiming to blow the brains right out of Tanjiro's head but before he even knew what happened.. Tanjiro had jumped high up now upside down avoiding his deadly punch and had then sliced Akaza's neck clean with one chop from his sword using Sun Breathing.. it hurt.. it burnt so much..

Akaza stumbled backwards holding onto his decapitated head in shock, fear and panic having large amounts of blood gushing out from his neck having veins in his eyes and all over his body holding onto his head trying to put it back on "..N-NO!.. N-NOT.. LIKE T-THIS!.." He had slowly began to regenerate it back but before he got a chance his decapitated head hit the ground due to Giyuu who had been just as shocked as Akaza had been from Tanjiro's actions.. he had threw his broken sword at him which caused that to happen... Akaza's head on the floor had slowly burnt away turning into dust fading away

"W-We.. did it.." Tanjiro stated looking on over at Giyuu as he had been panting heavily.. he had done it! He had avenged Rengoku's death!.. This had been the hardest fight of his life by far.. but finally!.. wait.. Tanjiro had looked on confused seeing that Akaza's body had still been standing tall not fading and suddenly Tanjiro spat out blood.. Akaza's body had kicked him hard definitely breaking a few ribs having a deadly crush too it.. Akaza had still been alive! He had slowly been regenerating his head

"TANJIRO!" Giyuu shouted out in fear going in helping Tanjiro out catching him grabbing his broken sword off the ground quickly too. This had been bad! How was this demon so strong and kill be alive after being decapitated!.. it was ridiculous!

Akaza had glared on having half of his face having been finally regenerated walking towards them with a bloodlust.. he wanted them both dead.. he had summoned the compass ready to use his 'Annihilation Type' move that he had used against Kyojiro which had been very deadly..

Tanjiro's eyes widened seeing thus remembering it all too well from a month or two ago.. he still had nightmares from it.. and how Kyojiro got killed. "GIYUU!" Tanjiro shouted suddenly grabbing onto him tightly to get him out the way so he didn't get dragged into it holding onto him tightly jumping with him ignoring his complains but before Tanjiro knew it he looked on while upside down.. he had saw.. Akaza.. smiling?

Suddenly a massive explosion made by a massive hurricane of attacks could be seen done on.. Akaza himself! He had used his most powerful move against himself! Tanjiro was left awestruck stunned from what he had just witnessed finally getting different kinds of scents and emotions coming from Akaza.. saddeness.. regret.. sorrow. Tanjiro's eyes softened looking on as the dust cleared seeing the destroyed body of Akaza which had been shredded apart bearly in tact having no head now once more.. Tanjiro had watched on as Akaza's body slowly began to fade away and he had gotten up and off Giyuu and walked towards the corpse and had kneeled down slowly holding onto his hand and got even more emotions from the body.. Tanjiro had teared up from all of it just like from what happened all the way back for Rui.. Lower Moon 5. He may not forgive him for what he did to Kyojiro who was going to be his new master but.. he hoped he would find peace.

Giyuu looked on still in shock panting heavily sweating and full of blood from probably the most intense battle of their lives. He saw Tanjiro do this but this time.. he respected it staying silent, he may not understand Tanjiro's feelings towards Demon's especially after all they have done.. but he couldn't help but smile, Tanjiro really was someone special.. if they both make it out of the war alive he is definitely going to have a talk with Kagaya to make him a pillar after this.. hell.. he was unsure on why he was ranked so low! He's helped kill 2 Lower Moons and now 3 Uppermoons.

Meanwhile..

All Akaza saw was darkness.. he had been all alone. Was this hell? It was incredibly dull and boring.. is this his new life now? All alone in eternal darkness?.. forever never to see anyone or anything again aside from darkness? Well.. this was.. going to be very depressing.

Suddenly a big flash of light engulfed him and he groaned slowly opening his eyes once more.. this time he wasn't in darkness!? He was in the sun light!.. but.. bit wasn't hurting.. it felt quite.. refreshing. He looked down at his hands, everything else seemed quite normal. Where the hell was he?.. how was he alive and how was he in the sun!?

Akaza had been left deep in thought shocked from all of this new information "Yo! You there! You look strong! Want to have a spar mister!?" A voice had called out and Akaza turned his back looking on confused at a young looking man.. around in his teen years from what Akaza see's.. and he had some weird hair. Oh well.. but that didn't bother Akaza.. he wouldn't back down from a challenge! "Heh! Sure thing! Give me all you got there spikey hair!"
