3rd Person Pov:
"That was a really long bath." said a swordsmith, walking down the hill on his own. He was humming a tune to himself, adding: "I gotta work early tomorrow. Hm?" He stopped in his tracks, noticing some sort of vase on the way ahead.
"A pot? Oh, whoa." He went to touch the pot to lift it up, saying: "Who'd leave a pot here at this time of-" However, before he could finish that statement, he was harshly pulled into the vase, not even having any time to scream or react at all.
And just a few seconds later, the pot spit the man out, and a Demon that looked like a genie in a bottle flew out of the pot. He had two mouths for eyes, and an eye where the mouth normally was. The second eye was in the middle of his forehead.
"Ew, ew... The flesh of these hillbilly swordsmiths just isn't edible. But that's fine, too." he said to himself, blood flowing from both of his mouths. "Anyway, if we destroy this place, the Demon Slayers will be severely weakened, for sure."
Another Demon, slouched over on some roof, said: "Hurry... Hurry... We found the Village thanks to Gyokko's efforts. But if we get him angry... Hurry, hurry. We have to kill them all. Kill all those who defy him!"
Time skip: a bit later
(Y/N) Pov:
I lazily opened my eyes, asking: "Wh-Who's there?" I sat up, being face to face with Muichiro. I blinked a few times, asking: "Muichiro-san? Why are you waking me up in the middle of the night? Don't tell me- Are there Demons here?" I was ready to start fighting any second now.
Instead of answering, he asked: "Do you know the swordsmith Kanamori?" Calming down, I thought for a moment, then answered: "Yes, I do. I think he's with Haganezuka-san. Why do you ask?" "He's my new swordsmith. Where's Haganezuka?" he asked, not looking away from me.
"Oh, I don't know that. Wanna go look for them together?" I asked, smiling at him. He seemed confused, and asked: "Why are you so concerned? Don't you have something else you should be doing?" "Hm? No, not at all. Haganezuka-san is our swordsmith, and he's still working on Tanjiro's new sword. We wanted to check up on him anyway, so nice timing."
"What? What did you say just now? Now, now..." he asked, which confused me. Does he not know what that means? "Uh... Nice timing?" I then turned to face Tanjiro, who was slowly sitting up, asking: "What time is it?" I smiled at him, answering: "It's the middle of the night." Suddenly, Nezuko jumped up, landing next to me. "Nezuko, you're up!" I said, hugging her.
She returned my hug, snuggling closer to my chest. I got up and took Nezuko's hand in mine, asking: "Should we go look for Haganezuka-san now?"
Tilting his head to the side, Muichiro-san said: "That's one strange creature there." "Nezuko?" I asked back, to which he said: "Yeah. Really weird. I can't put it into words. Have I met her before? Must've been some time ago. Why..."
"Oh? Is someone here?" asked Tanjiro, looking towards the door. The rest of us did the same, just in time to see the door opening. My blood ran cold the moment the Demon was starting to crawl inside the room.
How... How did I not notice the Demon? How did none of us notice it?! This has to be an upper moon! But there's no number in its eye. Wait, its eyes are... backwards?! That's seriously gross!
I immediately grabbed the newly forged sword that Haganezuka-san made me, and jumped towards the Demon. Muichiro-kun grabbed his own sword, and we both unleashed our attacks at the same time.
"Stop it! Don't bully me!" called the Demon, releasing some strange screeching. He's fast. Within the blink of an eye, he managed to receive minimal damage and dodge by clinging onto the ceiling. This could be troublesome.
Tanjiro jumped into action, using the Hinokami Kagura to pierce the Demon. But it just dodged again. This time, Nezuko tried to help. She transformed into her bigger, stronger self, kicking the Demon back.
"Nezuko! Don't transform here!" called Tanjiro, slightly panicking. I went to attack again, but Muichiro-kun beat me to it. He easily sliced through the neck of the Demon, successfully decapitating it.
The Demon screeched once more, saying: "I got cut up!" I was about to cheer, then remembered the last fight against an upper moon. "Don't let your guard down! It's probably not over yet!" I called, readying myself to attack once more.
Then, the Demon regenerated. Not once, but twice. The head regenerated a new body, and the body regenerated a new head. Gritting my teeth, I took in a deep breath, using the Water Breathing, Water Surface Slash.
I was too fast for the Demon, but he still tried to dodge. Luckily, I did manage to hit him, so it ended up losing an arm. Suddenly, an extremely powerful gust of wind was send my way, knocking Muichiro-san into me, causing us both to fly off at immense speeds. As we were flying off, I saw that Tanjiro held onto Nezuko, who managed to hold onto the debris in order not to be flung away.
3rd Person Pov:
The taller of the two Demons laughed, to which the other one said: "You're having fun. Just threw them all the way out. Right, Sekido?" Gritting his teeth, the taller Demon said: "There's nothing fun about this. I just feel pissed off at everything. Same goes for being stuck with you, Karaku." "Okay, then good thing we're apart now."
Tanjiro stared at them, trying to figure out a way to defeat them both. However, before he could move even a muscle, Sekido, the Demon with the staff, hit his staff on the ground, summoning a bunch of lightning strikes that hit Tanjiro head on.
As his sight was getting blurry, Tanjiro noticed someone standing on the broken roof. That person was holding what seemed like a gun, aiming it at the Demon. It was Genya, ready to shoot.
