"So do you have any intel on the demon we have to kill?" I asked my brother. We were running towards the forest before nightfall.

I looked up seeing that evening was passing, soon turning into night.

"All I know is they aren't part of the Twelve Kizuki." Hearing that come out of my brother's mouth relieved me to know that it wouldn't be hard.

"Why did they need two Hashira though...?" I saw my brother shrug his shoulders and I sighed in response. It can't be that bad...right?

I heard a bell coming from a nearby tree and stopped. "Is there-" I interrupted my brother before he could say another word.

"Sh." I unsheathed my katana, wielding it in my right hand. If something attacks us, I'll be ready.

More noises came from the same tree, so I continued to walk up to it. I made hand signals for Giyu to strike if it jumped above me. 

I made three swift movements to cut the tree down revealing, nothing. What? I swore it was here.

"Blood Demon Art: Gift"

My eyes widened as I saw the attack head straight to my brother, I lunged toward him blocking the attack with my katana.

"Foolish Human, my Blood Demon Art manipulates your memories, not your physical form."

The attack went past my defensive attack and struck my hand. "Giyu cover me!" I felt myself get dizzy and I held back the urge to faint. They really need to give us more information on these demons...

"Water Breathing-"

"Good try buddy, but if you kill me while she's in that state of conscious, her memories would forever stay altered." My brother hesitated for a bit.

"What did you do to her?!" I heard my brother scream and he cut the demon's limbs off

I felt excruciating pain in my brain, which made me drop my katana and hold my head with both hands. I saw the demon jump above me and try to land an attack. But I rolled over and punched the demon unconscious. 

"What a weak demon...but he could cause so much damage, wait, what's a demon?" I saw another person with blue eyes and black hair approach me.

★Giyu's POV ★

"Um, who are you...a creep?" I see the Demon Art is getting to her. 

I sighed, "What should I do? I can't kill the demon."

A memory came back to me of Y/N saying something similar to a situation like this.

"Nii-san you know, if anything happens and I'm in the way of you finishing off a demon.....I need you to be strong and kill it anyway."

I shook my head and refused to keep her like this, I...I can't let her live that way.

"Um sir? You've been out of It for like five minutes." I put on a blank expression and looked the other way. She still has the same personality. 

"Y/N do you remember me? Anyone? Tokito-kun...Kanroji-san....Kocho-san, Kamado-kun?"

I saw her shake her head and my stress levels skyrocketed. Ah shit what am I gonna do? 

The demon rose its head up, coming out of his knocked-out state. I hit it with the hilt of my katana and it went back to sleep. Weak ass.

"I'm sorry Y/N but you're going to sleep for a bit okay?" I gave her a reassuring look.

"Okay...wait what-" I hit her in the neck and rolled her over to a nearby tree, making her rest on it. 

"Kanzaboru report this situation to Kocho-san, I may need backup..."
