You are running through the woods aimlessly trying to find Tanjiro without knowing that you are racing in the wrong directly.

Damn it Zentisu!

If only he hadn't dragged me away.

But I did punch him really hard...

Is Tanjiro ... okay?

Your stomach churns. Feeling panic as adrenaline rushes through your veins. Breaths coming in short gasps as your muscles work harder to run faster.

Calm down y/n...

He defeats the hand demon alone in the anime

Tanjiro will be okay...

Hearing someone scream and then silence. Following the direction the sound came from with sword out and ready. Finding a demon feasting on an innocent teenager.

The horrid sight giving you flashbacks to the Kamado massacre.

Stumbling to a stop as you stare at the scene. You swallow hard to avoid throwing up.

"How dare you!"

Screaming at the demon as anger overwhelms you. Swinging your sword to avenge the innocent human. This rage blinding you from proper technique.

This mistake allows the demon to dodge your attack. It's claws slash into your upper arm. Ripping open flesh. The instant agonizing pain makes you lose your concentration.

Trying to keep a grip on your sword as blood rolls down your arm. The beast kicks you, launching you into a tree. Your body harshly colliding with the trunk of the tree. Knocking all the wind from your lungs.

Get up. Get up. Get up.

Block the next attack!!

The world seems to be spinning as your mind fights to remain conscious. Body already aching as you push off the ground to stand. Coughing for fresh air.

This is bad

Barely keeping a grip on your sword with both hands and ignoring the throbbing from the wound. Sucking in a deep breath as you prepare your attack.

Star breathing: First Form

Shooting Star

Waiting for your opening then pushing your energy into this attack. Slicing the man eating monster's head off it's shoulders. Feeling satisfaction while watching it turn to ash.

Letting out a sigh of relief. Carefully walking to stand over top of the monster.

My anger got the best of me

Luckily this demon isn't very powerful

Bowing your head in a moment of prayer for the human it use to be and for the victims it took.
