“Breath of the Flame, First form: Will-o'-the- Wips!”

You charged forward cutting the demons neck in ease as the sword left a trail of flame. You proceed to run as you sense your surroundings. Your mouth parted when you sense something.

You bend backward when a sharp claw almost scratch your intire face. You back up putting a safe distance between you two as your right cheeks bleed and you just nonchalantly wipe it while glaring daggers at the demon before you.

"It's almost a decade since I eat a human flesh. My dream came true!" the demon started to cackel as he run in your direction his hands were u in the air, ready to slice you at any moment.

"Pee in your dream, before assuming that." you said as your gave a stanve and lunged towards the demon slacing the demon hands as you duck when he almost cut your head with his sharp tongue.

"Well, that shit won't go through me, stupid demon." you spat as you slice his tongue before moving in your next move.

“Breath of the Flame, Fourth Form: Blooming Flame Undulation.”

You spin your swords in circulation as the demons head where se seperated. You sheathed your sword as look intently at the demon heads turning into ashes.

"That's what you get." you mumbled. Suddenly, a scream can be heard as you whip your head toward where the direction was. You sigh as unsheathed and run toward where the scream was.

You hide into a tree as peered only your eyes to be widen. You bit your lower lip. The demon was enormous you say. You might have no keen at smelling yet the demon's rotten smell made its way to you nose. You covered it with one of your hand as the other were still gripping the sword tightly. The demon radiates rather an intimidating one.

And the familiar back of someone made one of your eyebrows arched, the boy you have seen earlier is fighting that demon and he was proctecting the boy who was plopped on the ground.

"He participate the final selection but he was like child waiting for someone to save him. Tsk, what an eyesore." you spat as you watched the burgundy seemingly was piss off and the one who just was proctecting take a chance to run.

You were hesitating. It wasn't even your intention to help someone since participating in final selection shows you can survive and fight a demon. Don't even rely on someone because that someone does not always stay by your side.

‘Don't close your heart, [y/n]! Being a demon slayer is helping someone who needed help. Help them with passion and pride. Comrade or not, protect them in the hands of a hideous demon. No matter what!’

You clenched your eyes as Kyojorou word echoed in your mind. As you sheathed your sword then run and focus on your breathing, you quickly pulled the unconscious boy wh almost got crush like a pulp with the multiple arms of the enormous demon.

He suddenly gasp as he stared at the girl who is looking down at him. The mask was so familiar to him. He felt like he had seen this mask befor—

"You okay there?" you blankly asked as you waved your hands above his face.

"I'm fine!" the boy suddenly exclaimed as he quickly stand up and take a stance. You look at him before doing the same too since the demon isn't dead yet. And you were kinda shook when the boy just stand like nothings happen.

He might be hit his head to hard, you thought as you clicked your tongue.

The demon let out a evil chuckle, "Hmm, another fox masked but the carve and the design were different. I'd believed that you weren't Urokodaki student." he said while pointing at you or should I say on your mask.

"Well, stop spouting, nonsense. You're just gonna die though." you blankly said as the demon got pissed off and throw multiple arms at your direction as you and the boy sliced it with a little bit struggle. However, you two still compose your posture and hold your swords in a stance.

But you two felt something underneath the ground as you and the boy jump up and just you expected, multiple arms grew on the ground.

So high! How can they notice my hands beneath the ground., the demon thought as sweat started to form on his face.

But I know they can't dodge this attack on mid-air!, the demon smirked as he shot one of his hands at your direction and you froze not knowing to what to do.

‘Use the second form when a straight attack were strike, [y/n]!’

“Flame Breathing, Second Form: Rising Scorching Sun!" You slashed the demon hand upwards making your body stumble on the demon hands but luckily you stab your katana on the demons arm to kept you in place as the burgundy boy head toward the demons but before he could get near at the demon's head, he shouted;

"THANK YOU!" your eyes widen of what he said and you witnessed how the boy  decapitated the demons head in ease and land on the ground safely. You immediately jump on the demon arm whem it started to crumble.

"What are you doing?" you blankly asked as the boy held the demons hand and started to mumble a prayer.

"You shouldn't feel any sympathy on demon. Do you know that, right?" you stated as the boy just watches and smile.

"Yes, I know that. They may be a demon but they are once a human and not all demons are bad. Some of them hold the grudges and sorrow in their selves that why they turn into a monster they never know in life." he stated as give you a warm yet a sad smile that somehow contain something painful in the inside.

You heave in sigh as you flick your sword to get rid of the demon's blood before sheating it.

"Well, swallow that theory you hold while I swallow mine." you blankly said before walking to a tree as he follow you. You sit on the ground as rest your body on a trunk feeling a litte bit exhausted.

However, the next question he said made you sigh,

"Did we, somehow, meet before?"

"Yeah, in the market. We saw each other when I buy some ingredients in the market." you said before looking at him as he looks like he had remember something a his lips form into a 'o' shape.

"I haven't introduced myself! How rude of me," he sat beside you as you watch him smiled to you and held out his hands.

Still the same creep who always smile like an idiot., you thought.

"I'm Tanjiro Kamado, and you are?" Tanjiro ask as he look at you—still smiling and—you, look at his hand, and into his smiling face, back on his hand again. Sighing in defeat you shake his hand.

"[y/n] [l/n], the name." you nonchalantly said as he vigorously shake your hand. Tanjiro kinda remind you of a certain hyper flame hashira.

"Well, nice meet you, [l/n]-san!"
