"What the fudge was that?" Muichiro said his heart almost jumping out of his chest. "It's nothing, just vomiting out Muzan's blood, it wasn't painful at all." Akari says, and Muichiro ran towards Akari and uses a tissue to wipe off blood from her mouth. "So, I'm your ACTUAL brother now?" Muichiro says, making sure he got everything correct and Akari nods, smiling brightly. Muichiro reached to sharpen his katana when he realised it was gone. To his utter shock, Akari was twirling it with one finger as if a school student twirled a pencil in school.

Akari tasted the air, and she smiled. "Let's go Oniichan, Nezuko is in danger of the sunlight and it's our job to give her this." She holds up the blue spider lily and Muichiro smiles and nods, Akari jumped onto a tree and started jumping from branch to branch, although this time she was visibly slower, and every ten trees she lands on she would look back to see where Muichiro was up to. When they finally came to the fighting spot, Muichiro realised that he and his now little sister, was very pale, which Akari told him meant they were invisible.

They witnessed Nezuko kicking Tanjiro, and Akari saw the humbleness in the gesture and Muichiro nodded approvingly. Akari jumped down the cliff, and walked towards the fading Nezuko, and slowly reviewed herself. To Muichiro's surprise, Nezuko didn't look hostile or anything and gently closed her eyes in the presence of Akari. "My child," Akari says in a wise voice that didn't sound like it came from Akari, and caught Muichiro off guard. "You have been very humble, and I have been so proud of you." Nezuko smiles and closes her eyes, as if accepting she was to die right now.

"Now is the time to dust yourself up, and pull yourself up from your fall." And with that last word of wisdom from Akari, she engulfed Nezuko in feathers, and Muichiro was hyptnotised by the prettiness and sense of tranquility. Akari broke off petals from the blue spider lily and threw it into the cyclone, turning the feathers blue. Muichiro was so shocked when he saw Nezuko, alive and not crumbled. "Thank you mother." She says bowing gratefully. "Rise my child, for your brother is still unknowing to the fact you are alive. It is your duty to protect him from grief and save him when he is battling demons." Akari purred and Nezuko nodded and walked slowly towards the weeping Tanjiro.

Akari covered her face in her cape, signilising that Muichiro and he were now invisible again. "EEK!" She squeaked, apparently back into her normal voice. "I saved that adorable little Nezuko!" And Muichiro laughed and patted her head. "Yeah, you did, a demon helping a demon, I think I've seen everything now." Muichiro says teasingly and Akari embraced him and kissed him on the cheek before pinching him in the cheek. "OW! THAT HURTS!" Muichiro screams and Akari laughs loudly. "That's the point!" She says cheekily and Muichiro rolls his eyes in amusement.

Muichiro raced towards Tanjiro, and Tanjiro was weeping from Nezuko's delightful news. "Tanjiro are you okay?" Muichiro asks caringly and Tanjiro replies, but Akari wasn't listening, she narrowed her eyes. For whatever reason they're celebrating she couldn't be apart of it. Nothing seemed to cheer her up anymore, the pressure of saving everyone was building taller and taller with every second, seemingly crushing her carefree spirit. She observed Mitsuri running towards the group and crying with happiness, and found herself crying that she couldn't have that life.

Muichiro realised after a few minutes that Akari was missing and found her crying on top of the cliff. "W-whats wrong imouto-chan?" He asks caringly, and Akari gave the answer that she was happy that everyone was alive. Muichiro was so happy he didn't ask more questions but Tanjiro saw in one look at Akari that she was lying. He turned to question her but she surrounded everyone in a feather whirlpool and teleported them back to the recovery place in the hashira's headquarters.
