He lift his hand as his web now turns a shade of red. "Blood Demon Art... Murderous Eye Basket!" He said. The web forms around me, making my eyes widened. I try not to panic as it would disrupt my breathing pattern. But how can I fight back when I can barely move? What should I do??

-Taken In For Custody-

Tanjiro P.O.V

Just as the webs are about to cut me, it snaps as someone appears and cuts it. 'Somebody's here... is it Zenitsu?' I thought to myself, trying to figure out who came for my sake. But my vision is blurry, so it's hard to see.

"You did a good job holding out until I got here..." he said. That's when I realize it's neither Zenitsu or Inosuke, but Tomioka-San. "Leave the rest to me" he said.

"You're like an endless stream of lowlifes always getting in my way!" The demon said. He looks really angry. I'm worried for Tomioka-San. "Blood Demon Art... Cutting Thread Rotation!" He said. I have to have faith in him. If he said he got this under control, then he will.

"Nezuko! Y/N!" I said, remembering my little sisters. I look around, trying to locate the two of them. I notice them laying not far from me. Neither of them are awake. I quickly crawls over to them. I let out a sigh of relief when I realize the two of them are still alive. "Nezuko... Y/N..." I said, placing my arm over Nezuko's body and place it on Y/N's head as I cradling them as gently as I can in fear of hurting them more than they already are.

I hear a thud and turn my head to see the demon's body have collapse near us. His hand is reaching out to me. That body give off the scent of overwhelming grief. My eyes saddened as I outstretch my hand, gently placing it on his back.

His body slowly disintegrated into ashes. I see a pair of feet stepping on top of the demon's clothes. I look up to see it's Tomioka-San. Right at the same time, Y/N slowly wakes up.

Y/N P.O.V

I slowly open my eyes, feeling my strength have returned. But I still feel a little exhausted from the battle. I turn my head noticing Nee-San next to me and Onii-Chan on the other side of her.

"Y/N..." he said, relieved to see me awake. I just give him a tired smile. I turn my head and notices a guy, who's standing on top of a clothing. I realize the clothes is the one the demon's wore. They've managed to defeat him? Thank goodness.

"Don't waste your sympathy on a demon that has devoured humans" he said. I turn my head and notice Onii-Chan's hand is on the demon's clothes. "It doesn't matter if it looks like a child. It's still a hideous monster that's lived for decades" he said.

"To avenge the people who were killed, to make sure there are no more victims... I'll bring my blade down on any demon's neck without mercy. But as for those for whom being a demon meant despair, those who regretted their actions, I will never trample over them! Because even demons used to be human at some point! They were once human, like you and I! Please step off of him!" Onii-Chan said.

"Onii-Chan is right!" I said, moving to sit up. Tomioka-San turn his head to look at me. "They're not hideous monsters at all! Demons are hopeless creatures! They're tragic creatures!" I said.

I can see a look of recognition in his eyes as if he just remembers us. "Ah... you're..." he said, stopping mid-sentence as he looks forward. I turn my head and notice a girl rushing towards us. I quickly shield Nee-San, trying to protect her.

Tomioka-San steps over us and swing his sword, blocking the girl's attack on us. "Oh?" She said, as she lands on the ground. She turns around to face us.
