'Sun's Internal Flame' 

I stood on top of the cart as flames engulfed my sword. I sent a vein of flames into each reaching arm of purple goop towards Inosuke. Each flame entered the palm of each hand and incinerated the goop from the inside out. This 8th form is an adaptation from Sun breathing. The flames reach down from the roots of the goop and seered each one, prohibiting the ability to regeneration

"Yah!!!!" Inosuke screeches as I sit there and stare at him. 

"Are you all right?" I ask as I reach my hand out to him. 

"It's not like you came to my rescue or anything, okay?!!" He shouts at me as Tanjiro flutters down and bends down. 

"Down here...I can sense the demon's head is right below," He says as he turns to us. 

"I'm the leader!!! Remember?!" He shouts as Tanjiro and I look at each other. 

"Okay, then what's next all mighty leader?" I ask as he hops in the air. 

"This!!" He shouts as he uses one of his forms to slice open beneath us as I huddle over the conductor. 

As I look down, my eyes widen to a bone structure. It was his neckbone. Tajiro was quick to try to slice into it. I reach out to stop him, but he had already attempted. The purple goop over his attack. 

*SWOOSH* 

The goop starts to gush out rapidly. I grab the conductor and hop onto the coal cart. I watch as the goop consumes the head of the train. It creates some sort of bowl structure. I look at Tanjiro who looks beat, too beat to take another form.

"Tanjiro! He's healing too fast, we have to use our forms together. It's the only way to get to the bone! You'll cut the flesh and I'll cut his bone! You're too fragile to cut bone!" I shout as he slowly gets up and tightens his grip around his sword. 

He nods and I pick up my blade. I dash toward the center. 

*TIK* 

All of a sudden, I was met with thousands of eyeballs staring at me that said 'Dream'. I felt myself wobble a bit. I clench my teeth and sturdy myself again on the coals. 

*TIK* 

Every time I stood up, I was met with the demon art. And every time I felt myself go into a dream. I had to kill my mother. Over. And. Over.

*TIK* *SLICE* 

"(Y/n)!" I heard Tanjiro shout as I just kept slicing away. 

*GRIP* 

"Stop it! Don't fall for it!" Tanjiro shouts as my vision cleared. 

I was face to face with Tanjiro with my blade against his neck. I gasp as Tanjiro pleaded for his life. He cuts away as much goop as he can as I fall to my knees. 

"Argh!" I hear a loud grunt as I turn around to see the conductor run toward Tanjiro. 

"Tanjiro!!" I shout as I notice him holding a needle. 

I quickly shove my blade in between his legs, tripping him, not cutting him. He falls over me and pokes me with the needle. I dig my elbow into his neck and knocked him out. 

"(Y/n)! Are you all right?! Did he get you?" Tajiro asks as I quickly shove the conductor to the side. 

"Don't worry about me, worry about this goop! If we don't kill this demon soon, a lot more than me is going to get hurt!" I shout as Tanjiro and I stand with our backs together.
