Chapter 29

" The Saint and the Wicked "

"Red head! P-please just get it over with!!"

Y/n uncharacteristically shrieked out. Nevertheless, Tanjirou lifted his sword and breathed in deeply.

Water Breathing, 8th form, Waterfall Basin

There were lots of flesh that got cut, however, Tanjirou couldn't feel the bone. Looking back, the bone was protected by other pounds of flesh. He grit his teeth, seeing the damage that they had all inflicted was already being fixed. A strong grip suddenly pulled him away, and in a flash, he was back on the rooftop, along with Inosuke who looked just as confused as him.

Y/n was right behind him, still acting strangely.

"Had I not pulled the two of you away, you would've been fused with it's flesh..!" Y/n explained shakily whilst pointing towards the covered up wound.

Wait. That's not what bothered Tanjirou. How the hell did she suddenly have the strength and speed to individually pull both him and Inosuke up to the roof? No matter what anyone would say, even adrenaline can't be the only factor.

"It hurts..I just want to rest already..Dolores should've taken my place! Why'd Y/n have to take the stab? She needs to hurry and wake up again already.." her complaints reminded the red head of a child. A very scared child.

"One of you should open up the path to the bones again..then the other should slice the bone.." 'Y/n' explained, still in a state of panic, "I'll take the task of rescuing in the case you two get caught in the spell..Since it won't work on us anyways.."

There it was again, her dilated pupils and her strange manner of speech and wording. 'It won't work on us anyways' .

"That's a pretty good plan for a scaredy cat like you, lackey! I commend you!" Inosuke shouted out, followed by a laugh.

"Red head—- Kamado..? Am I supposed to be thanking him or something..?" Y/n whispered, kind of startling Tanjirou. "It's up to you, personally I'd thank him..?"

"Then..! Thank you, I think you're cool too.? Now, go ahead and attack to get this over with!" She commanded.

'Even though she's so scared, her decisions are actually..really reliable.?'

Tanjirou shook his head, knowing this was not the time for questions. If it works out, it works out.

So, both him and Inosuke charged straight towards the bone once again. However, they were halted in their tracks when walls of flesh emerged, multiple, large eyeballs within it, staring right into their souls.

"I trust you know how to wake up? Otherwise, I might have to wake you up myself." Was all that Tanjirou could hear before he was once again forced back to sleep.

After slashing his neck in his own dream, he awoke to darkness. He raised his sword but felt an arm around him, and he began hearing the noises of flesh and swords meeting.

"Don't mind the blindfold please, I'll take it off later." It was Y/n's voice, "Sadly I am useless right now but I trust you can attack whilst being blind?"

The boy quickly nodded, then felt Y/n let go of him.

"I'm about to get squashed to death so I'll just throw you to the other side--"
