3rd Person Pov:


"You look really funny with all those needles." spoke Gyokko, looking at Muichiro. "So? Have your limbs gone numb from all the poison? Truly comical. You're going to lose your life in a worthless place like this all because you saved some worthless lives."

Muichiro stared at the Demon, remembering that someone had once said similar words to him. He also remembered a room he had stayed in, where it was really hot, since it was summer. "Hyo hyo! But you're a Hashira, so I should prepare something nice. Now, what kind of piece should I make? I'm tingling with excitement!" spoke Gyokko, ripping Muichiro out of his thoughts.

Muichiro, however, quickly snapped out of it and used a breathing technique to get closer to his enemy, saying: "Shut it. Your words are worthless." Not liking this new, close proximity, Gyokko manifested a vase, using it to attack.

A flood of water was suddenly coming out of the vase, and in less than a second, it had completely trapped Muichiro inside. Grinning, Gyokko said: "Suffocation is quite chic. Quite beautiful. Then again, having the cold sensation of a sword through your neck is quite nice, too."

The young Hashira tried to free himself, but his sword wouldn't cut through the surface of his water prison. Watching with amusement, Gyokko said: "I've obstructed the greatest weapon for you Demon Slayers. Your breath. Imagining your face warping from pain brings me joyous ecstasy."

He glanced at the vase in his hands, saying: "If we destroy this village, the Demon Slayers will suffer a huge blow. And if we weaken the Demon Slayer, Ubuyashiki's neck will be right in the open."

Running through the forest, a girl with long, pink, braided hair held onto her sword, dashing at high speeds towards the Swordsmith village. "Hurry, hurry." she said to herself. "Everyone in the village is in danger."

She hopped over a low-hanging branch, saying: "To think that the swordsmith village was actually this close to my own district...! That shocker me! Alright, here I go!" Her face showed just how determined she was to fight and win.

Not much later, she was able to hear screaming. So, she picked up her pace once more, finally arriving at the scene in about two minutes. "Tetsugorou!" "Waagh!" "Watch out! This monster's nails are sharper than a sword!" "Just get into the buildings!" "Get back! Get back!" the villagers screamed, helplessly trying to defend themselves.

Jumping into the air, Mitsuri easily cut through the vase that sat on the back of that monster, causing it to disappear into nothingness. Then, she called out: "Sorry for being late, everyone! I'll make sure to beat them all up!"

She continued to cut through vase after vase, jumping from monster to monster through the village. And shortly after that, she arrived at the place the chief of that village was currently at. "You're better off not moving! Your internal organs are probably wounded." she said to a wounded swordsmith, who had tried his best to protect the chief, but failed like the rest of them did.

"K-Kanroji-dono...!" he trailed off, his eyes widening at the sight of her strange sword. Dashing forwards, Mitsuri used the Love Breathing, First From, Shivers of First Love to skillfully cut through all four of the monster's vases at once.

As it began to dissolve into nothing, she said: "My heart will never throb for those who hurt people with sick jokes." Then, she ran up to the chief, catching him from his fall, saying: "Tecchin-sama! Are you okay, Tecchin-sama? Please...!"

He let out a sigh. "Can you hear me, Tecchin-sama?!" asked Mitsuri, panicking. The chief of the village muttered: "I must be in heaven... I'm being hugged by a cute young girl..." while coughing a bit. "Oh, Tecchin-sama, you little perv!" called Mitsuri, glad that the chief was alive and well.

Laughing like a maniac, the silver haired Demon brushed both of his hands through his short hair, partially staining it red. He then brought his blood-stained hands to his mouth, liking the red liquid in content.

Before him stood the young, female Demon Slayer, her sword held tightly with both of her hands. She was panting, blood dripping down her right arm. "You're keeping up better than I thought you would." he said, chuckling lowly.

"If you won't go down like this, then..." she trailed off, taking in a deep breath, fixing her footing in order not to mess her next attack up. "Oh? What am I seeing here? You're actually looking like a decent swordsman." complimented Enenra, grinning to himself.

Then, within the next moment, (Y/N) had dashed towards him, using the Moon Breathing, First Form, and the Hinokami Kagura, Raging Sun at the same time. With two quick slashes of her sword, she had managed to create two crescent shaped slashes of each breathing technique, all aimed at Enenra.

She felt how her lungs started to burn, causing her to cough rather violently. She had been careful with the usage of the Moon Breathing, seeing that the technique was draining her more than the others. And now, she fused it with the Hinokami Kagura, the strongest breathing technique out there.

However, even if she went through much pain using this special attack, she did manage to hit her enemy with two of those slashes. They hit him, causing quite the damage. Grunting in pain, the silver haired Demon slowly got up from the ground, staring at the young Demon Slayer with a slight pout. Despite his usually carefree character, he really dislikes physical pain.

His wounds were regenerating way slower than they were before, too, and he was breathing heavily, blood staining his clothes everywhere. "That's quite the attack you have there. I'm afraid he won't like your newfound strength very much. What a shame..." he admitted, shaking his head in disapproval.

"Seriously, I wouldn't kill you now if I didn't have to. But, much to my disliking, it's an order from all the way up." he said, sighing in a sad manor. Enenra formed a rectangle with both of his thumbs and pointer fingers, holding it up to his mouth.

"Just a heads up. This is poisonous. So maybe try not to breath for, like, 20 minutes, my darling." he warned, then began blowing through the rectangular shape, causing thick, black smoke to spew out of the other side.
