"WE AREN'T DONE YET!!! Go treat the wounded! Shift to emergency aid!! Stop blubbering and pull yourselves together!!!" The kakushi announced, reminding the others that there were many injured slayers.

Sayuri immediately collapsed after finishing her final blow to Muzan, she lost a lot of blood as the group of kakushi rushed to her, "Fuyuzuki-sama!! We need to treat you!!"

They wore thick gloves as they surrounded Sayuri, asking her to collaborate with them so they could treat her easily.

"N-no... I need to see... Mui...chiro..." She panted in between her lack of oxygen and her chest pain.

"But-"

"I'll go... Don't stop me- or I'll kill all... of you weaklings-!" Sayuri sneered, getting up on her two legs as she clenched her chest to prevent the pain from going any painful.

"Fuyuzuki-sama!!"

Sayuri limped despite the kakushis calls and shouts - seeing her trail of frosted blood following her from behind. Her eyes lit up when she saw Muichiro, his eyes looking dull and empty as he stared at the sky.

"M-Muichiro-!" She attempted to scream before coughing blood. It seemed like the heavily injured Hashira could hear her shout as he perked his head up and sat up to see his surroundings.

Sayuri couldn't walk any longer and she collapsed to the ground, now was Muichiro's turn to push himself to go to Sayuri. He started crawling as the kakushi that saw him started shouting.

"Tokito-sama!! Don't do that!! Your wound will open up!!!"

Muichiro ignored it even if he started to lose more blood again. He cradled Sayuri into his arms even though she was as cold as ice itself.

"M-Mui... We did it... Muzan's dead... We're free now..." Sayuri forced a smile as she saw how Muichiro weakly smiled.

"Does that mean we can marry each other and live a happy life? Without slaying demons?" Muichiro questioned, trying to remember their plan after they killed Muzan back then.

"Hmm, yeah... We can't die now..." Sayuri shivered as a tear dropped down from her eyes, "B-but... I feel so cold Mui... It's so... cold.."

Sayuri shivered under Muichiro's protective arms as the boy tightened his hug with the freezing girl, in an attempt to give her his body warmth. Sayuri feeling extremely cold is a weird thing thus making Muichiro worried.

Even though Muichiri could feel the freezing temperature from Sayuri's body, he still hugged her otherwise - "Everything will be alright... I got you..."

"M-Mui-" she cried as tears started to drop from her eyes, "I think I'm dying... I can't feel my left leg, it's numb and my whole body hurts."

Muichiro's eyes widen as he clenches Sayuri's uniform fabric tighter, biting his lips. He glanced towards Sayuri's injured leg which was already bleeding too much.

He was also starting to feel a little tipsy as he realized that his bandages were starting to soak blood red - hinting that his wound had opened.

"Me too-..." Muichiro tightens his hug around Sayuri, "You can't die though... I can die but you can't. You're more important than me."

"What are you saying, Mui!? If you die and I live, I'd rather end my own life than live alone without you!" Sayuri yelled, kinda annoyed that Muichiro had that kind of thinking.

"Mui... We have a lot of things we want to do...in the future... We both need to survive to be able to see them come true." Sayuri cried, feeling sad that she knew how her injuries and Muichiro's were very bad.

"Sayuri-chan... Don't cry... I don't like seeing you cry.." Muichiro whispered, bringing his injured hand up and moving aside her messy bangs.

"You know..." He continued, "When I first met you, both you and I acted like each of us didn't exist until Oyakata-sama paired us together..."

"Then... We got onto this silly little argument but ended up being friends..." He softly chuckles, "It felt so weird. I'll always remember every single detail whether it's important or not about you..."

"So you still remember how we became friends?" Sayuri smiles sweetly, "That's sweet of you, Mui-kun."

"I've always had struggles to remember small things to important things but when it's about you... I never forgot anything." He paused, smiling sweetly.

"I still remember how your cold expression turned into a warm one whenever you saw me. I also remembered all the small details about you, about how your eyebrows and eyes twitched whenever you lie... Your Colgate smile... Your beautiful hair... Most importantly, your voice."

"Everything about you is perfect." He ended his statement-making Sayuri cried again.

"You know. I've had trust issues ever since the accident and I apologize for treating you so coldly back when we first met. My heart feels warmer when there's you by my side Muichiro. I don't understand this but I can tell you for sure that Oyakata-sama's statement was correct! About how we make a great pair!" Sayuri cried as tears fell from Muichiro's eyes.

"I finally remembered. The Mu in Muichiro is taken from the Mu from Infinity. Meaning that my love for you is infinite." Muichiro muttered, holding Sayuri tighter.

"If we are ever reborn - as humans, I'll never let you go. Never. Ever. I'll hold you by my side and we'll gaze at the skies for hours" Muichiro smiled at the thought as Sayuri held onto the boy.

"Muichiro..." Sayuri's tears spilled once more, "I promise if we're reborn again as humans, I'll be your bride and will always be right next to you. We can slouch next to each other while watching the skies."

"Then my snowflake... I'll promise, in the next life, I'll make you the happiest girl that ever lived in the world. Then I would finally be able to call you mine forever..." Muichiro started to tear up as he hugged Sayuri closer to his chest.

The hero who watched all of the scenes that were happening was starting to get teary too. Some of them even got out of the watching room to calm themself down. History was repeating itself. Muichiro hugged Sayuri even tighter when he realized that her breathing was starting to slow down, "I'll keep you warm... I promise - even when we're dead...."

"Mui... I can see the light..." Sayuri muttered, her eyes were now dull and lifeless as she stared into Muichiro's mint green teal-colored eyes which held the same dullness as hers.

"Me too love... Let's go there together..." Muichiro held Sayuri's hands as both of their spirits walked off away towards the light - holding each other's hands and standing closely with one another. Minutes passed and the two young slayers were not breathing anymore.

The kakushi tried their best to separate the two slayers from each other but they couldn't do it how matter how hard they tried. Sayuri's body was cold, enough to freeze someone when they made contact with her for a long time. Muichiro's lifeless body nevertheless stuck onto Sayuri's body like glue.

Although he wasn't frozen due to her cold temperature, instead, his body was still warm even though he was lifeless. It is as if his promise to keep her warm even when they are both corpses is still going on.

The heroes watching them reminded themselves. of the histories written inside the history book. This was the same but a little bit different from the scene happening inside the history book.

All they can do now is to wish the two young couples to live a happy life up there together in peace...
