Fighting one demon with the Blood Art is already hard enough. But we have to deal with two of them at the same time. This battle is going to be harsh.

-Awakening Mark-

Y/N P.O.V

I jump out of the way as one of the temari moves towards me. But before it got too far, the arrow brought it straight back to me. I duck to avoid the incoming ball. I click my tongue in annoyance. We won't be able to fight her off if we didn't defeat the arrow demon first. That one is the one who's gonna be the real threat.

I hear a thud and turn my head to see Nezuko-Nee as she collided into Onii-Chan. "Nee-San! Onii-Chan!!" I yelled out. I try to go to them, but the temari got in the way. I quickly jump to avoid getting hit. Sure, I may have a rapid healing ability. But I'm not sure if that's going to work if I lose a limb. So I have to be careful with these things.

"Stop getting in my way! I won't forgive you if you keep on hurting my family!!" I yelled at the temari demon. She let out a laugh as she stares at me in amusement. "Shut up!! Nothing is funny, baka!!" I yelled angrily. She looks taken aback by what I said, before her eyes reflects anger.

"How dare you call me an idiot! I am SO going to make you suffer!" She yelled at me. I jump out of the way as she throws her temari at me again. I growl angrily as my eyes turns into a brighter sapphire. The ball rushes up to me, but before it could reach it explodes to pieces. The temari demon gasps in shock as she stares at me with a horrified expression. "What are you?!" She yelled out.

Onii-Chan and Née-San managed to kill the arrow demon. All that's left to defeat now is this temari demon. From the corner of my eyes I can see my brother getting thrown around because the arrow demon refuses to die without a fight even after his head got decapitated. I clench my hands into tight fists as I feel a warm sensation on the side of my neck.

I lift my hand and place it on the tingling spot

I lift my hand and place it on the tingling spot. The temari demon's eyes widened in horror. "Impossible! A demon slayer mark?! On your level??" She yelled out. I feel a surge of power flowing through my vein.

I tighten my grip around my sword's hilt. I run forward, getting ready to decapitate the demon. The demon throws a bunch of temari balls at me. But they got destroyed by the force emitting from my body.

A flash of light appear from my sword, as I slice right through her neck. I hear a soft thud and turn my head to see the temari demon's head rolling on the ground. My eyes turn back to normal as I start to feel drained. I sway a little and falls on my side.

"Y-Y/N..." I heard Onii-Chan's voice. I turn my head to look at him as he crawls over to me. His body must be hurting so bad. He outstretch his hand, weakly placing it on top of mine. "You were amazing... you're so strong, Y/N..." he said. I smile softly at him and closes my eyes, as my surrounding slowly turn into dark.

I slowly open my eyes to see I'm inside a dimly lit room. I feel warmth on my hand and turn my head to see Nee-San sleeping. Her hand is holding mine tenderly as she place her head on the bed.

I try to move slightly and wince when my body ached painfully. That battle really did a number on my body. I close my eyes as I try to control my breathing. I take a deep breath through my nose and slowly exhale through my mouth. I can feel the oxygen slowly surging through my veins, successfully helping me regained my strength.

After a few breathing, my body feels a lot better. I slowly sit up on the bed, my action wakens Nezuko-Nee. She open her eyes and turn to look at me. She quickly move to sit on the bed, throwing her arms around me.

Thank goodness you're alright... I hear a voice in my head. I furrowed my eyebrow in confusion. I look around, trying to locate the source of the voice. But no one's in the room aside from Nezuko-Nee and I.

"Nee-San... I heard someone said 'thank goodness you're alright.' Did you hear that too?" I asked. Nezuko-Nee quickly pulls away to look at me. Her eyes are wide as she stares at me in shock.

You can hear my thoughts, Sis? The voice said again. My eyes widened when I realize it's actually Nezuko-Nee and it's her thought's voice that I just heard. You can, right?? She said again.

"I-I c-can..." I said, nodding my head still shocked at the realization. She closes her eyes as if she's grinning. She throws her arms around me. I feel excitement radiating from her body. I smile softly to myself as I wrap my arms around her.

"Nezuko? Y/N?" I heard Onii-Chan's voice. I stand up and Nezuko-Nee following along. We walk out the room hand in hand. Onii-Chan peeks around the corner. A smile forms on his lips as he saw the two of us. We quickly rush towards him, pulling him into a hug.

I turn around to look at Nezuko-Nee as she pulls away to run towards Lady Tamayo. She wraps her arms around her. Yushiro is clearly unhappy at her action. But Lady Tamayo assured him that she didn't mind.

I walk towards them with Onii-Chan behind me. "She's been acting like this after she woke up..." she said. I just smile as I hear Nezuko-Nee's thought that she sees Lady Tamayo and Yushiro as our family.

"She sees you both as our family members" I explained. Lady Tamayo looks confused. Yushiro is trying to get Nezuko-Nee to stop patting his head. I let out a soft giggle at their mini interaction. I turn to Lady Tamayo and notices tears escaping her eyes. "N-Nezuko-Née. Let go! That's rude!!" I said.

"Thank you, Nezuko..." she said, burying her face into her shoulder. I let out a sigh of relief as I thought she feel offended or something. She turn her head to look at us. "Tanjiro... Y/N... would you both like us to take Nezuko in? You have a dangerous path ahead of you. It would be safer for her to stay with us" she said. Behind her, I can see Yushiro shaking his head.

I feel a hand slipping in mine. I look down to see the hand belong to Nezuko-Nee. I turn my head to look at her as she also held Onii-Chan's hand. She gives us a look.

I don't want to be separated from both of you... I hear her thought. I smile softly and tighten my grip on her hand. I turn to look at Lady Tamayo who's waiting for us to give her an answer.

"Thank you for the offer, Lady Tamayo... but the three of us will never part ways..." I said. Onii-Chan nods his head, agreeing with me. She smiles softly at us, as she understand what we want.
