I stand protectively in front of Kotetsu-Kun, while looking here and there to make sure there are no demons around us. We have to stay alert because we don't know what's lurking around here. Things just keeps on getting more and more dangerous.

-Water Prison-

Y/N P.O.V

Muichiro walks towards the hut. A vase appears out of nowhere, making him lift his nichirin sword. I can feel an evil aura coming from the vase. A demon appears from the vase. Kotetsu-Kun inches closer to me. I take a quick glance at him as he clutch onto my haori. I feel his body shakes. It's obvious that he's afraid.

"Hey, Kotetsu-Kun" I said, in a soft voice. I turn to him, kneeling on one knee to be on the same level as him. I place my hand on his head. "It's okay. I'll keep you safe, okay? As long as you stay close to me. You're going to be okay, Kotetsu-Kun" I said. He nods his head. I give him a close eyed-smile.

I sense something coming towards to us. I quickly open my eyes, turning my head to see source to see more fish demons coming towards us. "Stand behind me, Kotetsu-Kun..." I said, turning to look at him over my shoulder. He nods his head and move slightly behind me. I turn to face the demon fishes.

I lift my sword. I exhale a long breath. Angel Breathing Technique - Second Form : Divine Archangel Slash!" I said. I jump and swing my sword mid-air. A shockwave of light appears from my sword and strikes the demons, blinding them by the light. I take their distraction as a chance and lunges at them, cutting off their heads. They screeches in pain and drops on the ground. I watch as their bodies turns into ash.

I turn around and walks towards Kotetsu-Kun. "See? Everything's alright" I said, smiling softly as I ruffled his hair. He steps closer towards me, swiftly throwing his arms around my waist. I smile softly and run my hand through his hair. "Are you okay, Kanamori-San?" I said, turning to look at the older male. He nods his head at my question. I smile softly at them.

"Look out!!" Kanamori-San yelled out. I turn my head to see a bunch of needles rushing towards me. My eyes widen. I gently push Kotetsu-Kun  and turn around. I lift my sword to deflect the needles. But before I'm able to act, a figure appeared in front of us to protect the two of us from the incoming attack. My eyes widen when I realize it's Muichiro. There are several needles piercing on his body and face.

"Mui-Chan!" I said. He remains standing. But I can see through him. He's in a lot of pain. I rush towards his side as he turn to look at me. He gives me a smile as if trying to assure me that he's okay. "I should heal you" I said.

"No... it took a lot of your energy" he said. I just stare at him worriedly. He lift his hand, ruffling my hair. "I told you I'm fine. We have to focus on defeating these filthy demons" he said. Despite what he said, I know he's in pain. But I know it's not the time to argue because we are in a middle of a battle. 

"Are you sure you'd be okay, though?" I asked. He just smiled and nod his head. I let out a sigh. I know that I can't argue with him. He's right. We have to focus on fighting and slaughtering the demons. We have to keep the people in this village safe, no matter what it takes.

A sound of laughter makes us turn our heads. There's a demon that appears from the vase. I lift my sword and point the sharp edge at the demon, preparing myself in case the demon would try to attack. I stare into his eyes to see a number carved in them. Upper Moon 5.

My eyes widen in horror as I realize how serious the situation has become. The demon that Onii-Chan and Nee-San were fighting are also an Upper Moon demon. How can there be multiple Upper Moons here?!

"Y/N! Look out!!" A voice yelled out. I turn my head to see Muichiro rushing towards me. He pushes me out of the way as a strong stream of water hits him. I fall on the ground from the impact of his push. I wince in pain as I hold my head.

I open my eyes and turn my head to see Muichiro is trapped inside what seems to be a prison that is made of water. My eyes widen at the sight. I let out a shaky gasp as I struggle to stand up.

"Muichiro!!" I yelled out. I rush towards the water. I try to slice it but nothing seems to work. I start hitting the water prison repeatedly. But it seems to only be able to break from within. "Muichiro! I can't do anything. You have got to do something! Don't you give up on me!!" I yelled, frantically. I keep hitting my fist on the water. I feel tears starts building up in my eyes. I feel so helpless not being able to do anything for my boyfriend.

He try to use one of his Mist Breathing Technique. But it doesn't work. I can see how much he's struggling. He's losing his breath. If I don't do anything fast, he's going to die.

"Don't give up, Muichiro... please..." I pleaded. I turn my head to look at Kotetsu-Kun. My eyes widen when one of the fish demon pierced him with its steel claw. I gasp at the sight. "Kotetsu-Kun!!" I yelled out. I rush to him and kill the demons.

I'm starting to feel exhausted after fighting for so long. But I can't let myself lose consciousness now. I have to help Muichiro. I turn to look at him and walks up to him.

I do the only thing I know that might be helpful for him. I gently place my lips on the water and blows some air. Muichiro closes his eyes as he lets the air bubbles enters his mouth. His eyes snaps open as he use his technique.

He drops on the ground after breaking free from his water prison. I break into tears as I rush towards him. I pull him into a tight hug, not caring if I got pierced by the needles in his body.

"Thank goodness, Mui-Chan... thank goodness you're okay" I cried out. I bury my face into the crook of his neck. "I was so scared. I thought that you're going to die" I said. My voice cracks as I start to cry softly. I feel his arms gently wrapping around my waist. His run his hand through my hair. I'm so glad that my boyfriend is all right. Thank God.
