Yay another chapters, that's quite something..also since Netflix has released season two of demon slayer, surprisingly the movie, I can continue my other story and not disappear for a few months.
________________________________
Tanjiro felt himself freeze for a moment as he noticed the hands were aimed behind the demon instead of towards the two. There was also the fact that Amira was missing. Which helped him put two and two together. He quickly found himself in the air and diving down between the two to slice of the hands of the demon before they could smash her head in.

Before long the demon quickly started sending multiple arms in different direction to attack him as Tanjiro was punched into the side of a tree. He was unfortunately knocked unconscious.

Amira in response attacked the arms of the demon with her breathing now paused as she concentrates on slicing each arm before it got to close only noticing the demon's hands moving to attack Tanjiro.

"Oh I see another fox..but taller, which is strange since he doesn't train any adults.. but no matter I will tear you apart and make you number 15. " He chuckles as he continues attacking though one thing he noticed was the feeling of hollowness whenever she sliced a limb, he felt as though the stump remaining, became numb.

Tanjiro was quick to wake up causing relief in Amira's heart as he avoided the attack.

The two were quick to unite their attacks as they already knew eachothers moves to the point that it looked like they were two dancers, smoothly avoiding eachother's paths and attacks.

The demon was becoming frustrated as he felt his attacks get avoided while getting more of his limbs cut off.

With only a nod from Tanjiro, she quickly dodges under a side attack. Though she noticed him randomly jump off the ground followed by an under ground attack from the demon, her eyes widen surprise as she kept moving to slice off the few arms being sent her way. Though she did notice that there were fewer .

Then the attacks stopped as she notices Tanjiro slicing through the head of the demon with ease.

Her hand moves across her mask as she gently removes it with a small smile appearing behind her bandages. She approaches him while he slowly knelt beside one of the large hands of the demon, a small frown appeared at the sight before she sighed.

He gently touched the demon's hand and bowed his head lightly against it.

Her eyes flicker over to the head as her pupils swirls for a moment, noticing the tears forming in the demon's eyes. Like a young child crying.

She flinches at the sight as for a moment she saw a young boy in it's place before it disappearing. Here, she understood a bit more of what Tanjiro was talking about when he said they were still human. Perhaps they're creatures that should be pitied instead. It doesn't seem like they chose to become this way since there is a chance for they were forced, like Nezuko.

Her eyes lower before she shakes her head as Tanjiro stood up smiling at her, she approached him and gently held onto the hem of his haori.

Tanjiro remained quiet with his eyes widening for a moment at the familiar action before smiling at her with tears forming in his eyes.

She took notice of this and gently hugged him close as she lays her head on his forehead.

He shook his head but accepted the hug."Thanks Amira..we have to keep going though..for Nezuko.."He mumbles moving back as he held her hand while they continued walking to the east of the mountain.

She nods quietly in agreement as she followed him with a sigh, at least the worst of the demons were killed so it will be a bit easier now but the hardest part would be finding food. She softly grumbles at the thought as they both ran only for her to stop and pick him up.
