" "  AKAZA  " "

YOU look over your shoulder, e/c eyes meeting golden ones.

Rengoku turns around as his hand shifts over to his sword, you doing the same.

Akaza's eyes shift from Rengoku, looking over at you for a moment in surprise before looking down at Tanjiro, eyes narrowing.

He doesn't do anything for a moment before he dashes forward, going to punch Tanjiro in the head.

Your eyes were quick to catch his movement, eyes narrowing slightly.

"Celestial Breathing, seventh form, spiraling stars."

You cut the demon's arm in half down the middle, making him jump back.

You and Rengoku stand up and gaze at the demon who grins.

He holds his arm that was split in half up, snapping it back together.

"That's a fine sword." He grins, licking his arm where the wound was. "Unfortunately, I don't kill females."

"I can't understand why you'd go after a wounded person first." Rengoku frowns at the demon.

"He could get in the way of the chitchat... of you and me." Akaza's attention shifts back to Rengoku.

"What would you and I have to talk about? I'm meeting you now for the first time, but I already dislike you."

"Is that right? Well, I loathe weak humans, too. You he sought of a weakling makes my skin crawl." The uppermoon grins as Rengoku frowns at him.

"Then, it looks like our senses of value are completely different."

Did they... forget about me?

Your eyes narrow at the two, not all that pleased with being forgotten.

"All right, then I have a brilliant proposal for you. Why don't you become a demon, too?" Akaza suggests as Rengoku's eyes narrow ever so slightly.

"I will not."

"I can tell your strength at a glance. You're a hashira, aren't you? Your fighting spirit has been honed to the hilt. It's close to the realm of the highest."

"I'm the flame hashira, Kyojuro Rengoku."

"I'm Akaza." Akaza introduces himself as he grins at the hashira, "Kyojuro... Let me tell you why you can't enter the realm of the highest. Because you're a human. Because you're going to grow old. Because you're going to die."

Akaza extends his hand towards Rengoku, "Become a demon, Kyojuro. Do that and you can go on training for a hundred, for two hundred years. You can become stronger."

Of all the demons that I've met until now, he has the strongest scent of Kibutsuji! Though it's odd that he isn't asking L/n to become a demon, she is the one who sliced his arm... in fact, he seems to be avoiding eye-contact with her.. but I still have to help Rengoku fight! Tanjiro thought as he moved to try and stand up
