Yoriichi and Nezuko began to gain the upper hand on the arrow demon. Now they were able to see his attacks, Nezuko was able to distract his as Yoriichi went in for attacks. Michikatsu was holding his own against the Temari demon. She was angered by the fact that the boy was overpowering her attacks even with her transformation.

"Nezuko! Keep it up! I have something in mind!!" The crimson boy yelled as the arrow demon was too distracted in trying to kill Nezuko. 'I must time the attack right.' Yoriichi ran up behind the demon with all his speed.

"WATER BREATHING; FOURTH FORM: STRIKING TIDE!!" The boy yelled as he cut the demon's head off with ease. Demon did not have time to react as he noticed he could regenerate. 'Dammit... They won... but they will be joining me. The demon activated his last attack. 'The arrows will send you everywhere, completely destroying your body.' He then burned away.

"Brother what is happening!?" Yoriichi couldn't answer his sister as the two began flying in different directions. 'If I don't find a way to counteract the arrows, I'll be killed!!'

"It seems that this battle is getting nowhere for Michikatsu. I'm sorry Yushiro but I must give him some aid." The female demon scratched her arm as her blood began to release a fragrance.

"I will have you and friends killed dammit!! You wont be able to defeat none of us demons." The temari demon shouted in anger. She had it with Michikatsu predicting and countering her moves. "Muzan Kibutsuji will have all of your heads."

"You said his name. There is a curse with that name.

"Is this another one of you sick tri-" Her words were cut as two huge arms came out her body. Michikatsu watched in horror as the hands out of her own body bagan to crush her until she was left as clothes on ground.

"Lady Tamayo how did you do that?" Yushiro asked. He was baffled at her ability to make some say things not at their own will.

"My demon art allows me to force someone to do something that is out of their will to control. I made the girl say Muzan's full name on accident and she was not able to realize." Lady Tamayo answered. Nezuko and Yoriichi ran back to rejoin the group. The siblings seen the demon doctor collecting blood samples from the demons that were killed.

"The other demon was defeated as well. I guess elder brother was able to hold them off." Yoriichi said with a smile. Nezuko smiled as well but it soon was cut by a jealous demon.

"YOU TWO BETTER ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT LADY TAMAYO DID AS WELL YOU IDIOTS!!" Yorshiro yelled but was instantly slightly scolded by Tamayo.

"I'm truly sorry for him acting this way. I don't know why he is so protective."

"It's fine." Nezuko and Yoriichi said in unison as they shrugged off Yorshiro's bratty behavior.

Later...

The three siblings prepared to leave.

"I hope you two can live your lives safely again. We are truly sorry for getting your location compromised."Yoriichi apologized as he bowed. Nezuko did the same. Michikatsu on the other hand decided to go hug Tamayo.

"What is this?" The demon doctor was confused. Everyone was a little surprised at boy's action. 'I always thought my brother hated other people besides us since he's been a demon.

"I don't really know but I guess he thinks of you as family."Yoriichi said, while still being unsure. Tamayo tightened the hug. She began to cry at the nice gesture from the boy. Nezuko and Yoriichi began to panick.

"I'm sorry ma'am! Michikatsu let go! That's being rude!" Nezuko shouted.

"It is fine... it just I never thought someone could consider me as family again. Especially after the horrible thing I done a few centuries ago." She said as she let go of the hug with young demon. "I must ask Yoriichi. Would you like for Michikatsu to stay with us. It seems that Muzan is actively trying to get him. This would be much safer for him to be with us instead." The boy ran over to his siblings.

"I guess elder brother wants to fight no matter the danger." Yoriichi said. The siblings waved the demons off. Tamayo smiled. She was happy to see that even if the family was destroyed down to them, they still stood strong. 'Seeing family fighting with eac other warms my heart.'
