Y/N Kamado POV

Huffing sounds coming from Murata as he gives chest compressions to my Husband. Desperately trying to restart his heat. I battle along side my comrade occasionally trying to peek towards Tanjiro. I want to be with my Husband... I see Yushiro injecting a needle into him.

It's okay..
Just focus..
focus on this fight!

Deep inhale gripping my sword tightly. Allowing my power to burst as the stars flow through me. My body feels lighter, faster, and stronger than ever before. I charge forward, my sword blazing red at the ready.

Inosuke screaming at Muzan as his dual blades crash into the demon. Zenitsu giving an upswing with his sword. As I leap into the air to attack Inosuke is throw right into my body. Both of us crashing against the ground as Mitsuri leaps over us blazing out a lovely attack.

Energy waning as this battle rages on. Using such high forms of star breathing is taking its toll on me, and I know I can't keep it up forever. But I won't give up. I can't give up. I've come too far to let Muzan win.

The demon king is growing weaker as I dodge his attacks and strike back with my sword, each blow fueled with rage.

Forcing a burst of energy, I charge forward, my sword glowing red as the stars light up like glitter in the air. with the power of the star breathing technique. The slight hesitation in his eyes as he has the opportunity to kill me but doesn't.

His eyes appear soft as he watches the young girl that has made him actually feel something special.

Blood flinging into the air as my blade slashes his leg off as my feet slide against loose rubble and I scream with all the power in my body

Seventh Form • Obstructing Nebula

Lashes out a large attack at this close of rage has parts of his body scattered as the Demon King himself drops to his remaining knees. Three Hashira leaping over head ready with their strongest attacks to finish this. Zenitsu and Kanao charging forward with their swords blazing red.

I lift my blade again as I glare down at the remains of this monster. Meeting his gaze as I swing for his neck.

Kyojuro Rengoku POV

Glancing down to the young man in front of me. My eyebrows furrow and my forehead creases as I try to come up with the right words. The corners of my mouth turn downwards, and I let out a deep sigh.

"Young Kamado... it is not your time. "

Gurgling sounds fading as Tanjiro's body falls silent. No heart beat. No longer choking on the blood in his lungs. No more pain in his body.

Sadness welling up inside me, and my eyes start to water. Reaching out slowly to him, trying to offer comfort. I repeat my words again and this time I can feel his spirit listening. The way his soul clings to his body fighting harder than ever to remain for his love ones.

"That's it. Keep fighting. Your life is far from over. The greatest moments have yet to come. Dig deeper than you ever have and find the strength to stay. To live for them."
