POV Bell

Man time sure does fly does it not, three days ago I along with Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke were recovering from our last assignment, and two months since we became Demon Slayers and passed the Final Selection. Battling a great number of demons, meeting the DK himself, Muzan, and fending off his second most powerful moon, while also meeting his strongest one. God life can be unfair sometimes, but it wasn't all bad, as we've gained a lot throughout these past two months. Our mother and sister are in control of themselves, we found two allies with outstanding potential and found good demons who will help us take down Muzan. So, at the end of the day, It wasn't all bad.

Right now our group is heading to Mount Natagumo, as a large number of Demon Slayers had been tasked with the mission but have gone missing, or witnesses who escaped reported their teammates as dead. This was definitely the work of a Moon, or potentially a Demon with the potential of becoming one. Either way, we wouldn't want to take any chances, I asked Inoue when she landed on my head.

"Inoue, what information can you give us about the demon or potentially demons we have to face?"

"CAW! The Demons are called the Spider Family, who possess spider-like strings that can entangle a body or are sharp enough to dismember them! CAW!" Inoue informed. "CAW! There are currently five known members. CAW!"

Five huh?

If Ubuyaskiki-sama is sending me and Tanjiro on this mission, then there is a likelihood that one of the Twelve Kizuki is there, and glancing at Tanjiro's serious expression, he figured that out as well. 

"Everyone heads up, our current mission will be extremely dangerous, as there is a high likelihood of one of the Twelve Kizuki appearing." I stated, causing Zenitsu to panic while I sensed Inosuke's confusion. "The Twelve Kizuki, or Twelve Blood Moons are the Demon King's strongest generals, with the power and abilities to kill a Hashira, or in simple numbers a hundred slayers like you." I explained as Inosuke shouted in surprise.

"But don't worry, me and Bell have already faced the second strongest of the Uppermoons, so we should be alright. But if one of you were to encounter one, flee as fast as you can." Tanjiro stated.

"The Great Inosuke never flees!" Boar-head shouted.

"We aren't asking, and you will, unless you want our mother to cry knowing you died?" I questioned, causing Inosuke to flinch, and a dark aura to come from the box on my back.

Yeah, Mother is going to kick my ass for using her as leverage, or that's what I thought while I chuckled to myself.

POV 3rd Person

By the time the group had reached the mountain, the group had found a fellow demon Slayer collapsed on the ground, and as they ran to check on him, Bell noticed things attached to his body and acted quickly.

'Water Breathing; First Form: Water Surface Slash.' Bell chanted, easily slashing through the strings, and saving the Demon Slayer. Bell watched as the lines retreated into the trees. "Spider Family, huh..."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!" The Demon Slayer exclaimed.

"You can thank me, by explaining what happened." Bell requested.

The Demon Slayer quickly went into detail about what happened, explaining how he along with ten others were ordered to slay a group of demons on the mountain, only to have some of their fellow slayer slaughter one another, as weblike strings were controlling them like puppets.

"I see, listen, stay here, we'll see if we can save anyone else, and Kill the Spider Family." The white-haired boy ordered.

"Who are you, people?" The Demon Slayer asked.
