"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.

-Awaken-

Y/N P.O.V

I help Muichiro pull out all the needles in his body. He looks like he's in so much pain. I stare at him worriedly. I place my hand on his cheek, turning his head to look at me. His turquoise eyes met mine.

"Let me heal you, Mui-Chan..." I said. He lightly shakes his head, not wanting me to use my healing technique as he's completely aware the effect that technique had on me. "But you're in so much pain. I promise I'm gonna be fine this time" I said.

"No, Y/N... you don't have to heal me. We should just focus on fighting off these demons" he said. He lift his hand, gently placing it on my cheek. I let out a sigh at his stubbornness. I know I can't argue him with that. So I reluctantly nod my head. He smiles and place a quick peck on my cheek. He moves to stand up, offering his hand to me. I place my hand on top of his allowing him to pull me up to my feet.

I turn my head to see a bunch of demon rushing towards us. I lift my sword and start attacking them, swiftly killing every single one of them. I turn my head to look at Muichiro who's doing the same. He turn his head to look at me.

"You handle the smaller ones. I'll handle the that Upper Moon demon" he said. I open my mouth to protest. He can't possibly fight that demon on his own with his current condition. He gives me a stern look. "Don't try to argue. Please just listen to me... I can handle it, okay?" He said. I let out a sigh and nod my head.

I turn my focus on the smaller demons just as Muichiro had requested. I'm worried for his well-being if he has to fight the Upper Moon on his own. But no matter how try to look at it from different angles. Muichiro is a Hashira, and one of the strongest too. I've got to put my faith in him. I should focus on protecting both Kotetsu-Kun and Kanamori-San.

I jump out of the way when the fish demon shoots a bunch of needles at me. "Angel Breathing Technique - Fourteenth Form : Imperial Dawning of Retribution!" I said. Using this technique, I send a bunch of shockwave made of light at the demons. The demons burns as the light burns them.

I realize after defeating these demons. There isn't any demons attacking us. Which means they're the last. A grin starts to form on my lips, realizing that Muichiro has managed to defeat the Upper Moon. I turn around and rush to where Muichiro is.

Muichiro is staring at the Upper Moon's head as it starts to ramble. Judging from the look on Muichiro's face, he's getting irritated by the demon's annoying voice. He lift his sword, swiftly slicing the demon's head.

"Damn

"Damn... Mui-Chan..." I said. He turn to look at me and give me a weak smile. I stare at him worriedly, noticing how pale his face has become. "Are you feeling okay, Mui-Chan?" I asked.

"Yeah.. I'm fine" he said. I know he's lying. I quickly run towards him, catching his body before his body hits the ground. I cradle him in my arms. "I'm not too tired... so I can heal you, Mui-Chan..." I said. He let out a sigh and nod his head. He's probably too tired to even speak.

His body gets engulfed in a soft f/c color

His body gets engulfed in a soft f/c color. The wounds on his cheeks starts to heal. I wince as I feel my body ache. I guess I did sustain some injuries during the fight. But I have to keep going so Muichiro will be okay.

"That's enough, Y/N... you're clearly not well either" he said. I let out a sigh as I finally stop using my healing technique. He smiles softly and gently leans his forehead against mine. "You're okay. Thank goodness..." he said in a soft voice. I just smile at what he said and closes my eyes.

"We have to get back to Onii-Chan and Nezuko-Nee. They're also fighting a member of the Twelve Kizuki" I said. He nods his head. He remove his body from mine and stands up. He stands up, offering his hand to me. I grab it and let him pulls me up to my feet.

I turn to look at Kotetsu-Kun and Kanamori-San. We clearly can't leave these two behind. The Upper Moon 5 may have been defeated. But there could be other demons here. I guess we have no choice but to bring these two along. I signal Kotetsu-Kun to get on my back while Muichiro will carry Kanamori-San. I turn to look at Haganezuka-San who's still honing a sword Onii-Chan told me he had found inside the train dummy.

Muichiro walks up to him, snatching the sword from his hand and starts running. "Mui-Chan! You shouldn't-" I get cut off by an angry roar from Haganezuka-San. "Eh, too late for that. Hang on tight, Kotetsu-Kun!" I said. I quickly follows Muichiro, trying to escape the wrath of the furious sword-smith.

We ended up on top of a hill. Onii-Chan and Nee-San are there right below us. Onii-Chan's sword is broken. Which means he's gonna need the one Muichiro holds. It didn't take long for Muichiro to notice that too.

"Tanjiro!!" He yelled out. Onii-Chan look around until he turn his head towards us. Muichiro throws the sword at him. "Tanjiro! Use that sword!" He said. Haganezuka-San finally caught up with us. He grabs Muichiro by his neck, demanding him to return the sword. "Use it!! The sun is rising! He's gonna get away!" He yelled. I watch as Onii-Chan runs toward the headless demon that is chasing after three men.

I hear a thud next to me. My eyes widen when I realize Muichiro has collapse. I cradle him in my arms. I turn to look at Onii-Chan. Hopefully, he'd be able to handle that demon.

My eyes widen when the sun hits Nee-San. She let out a pained scream as the sun burns him. "Nezuko-Nee!!" I yelled out. I turn to look at Kotetsu-Kun. "Please take care of him for me" I said. He nods his head. I let him cradle Muichiro.

I jump down the cliff and rushes to them. I use my haori and covers Nezuko-Nee. "Go, Onii-Chan! Save them! I'll take care of Nee-San!" I yelled out. He nods his head and stands up. He rushes towards the demon.

I turn to look at Nee-San who's still writhing in pain. I grit my teeth as I feel scared and worried for my twin's well being. Damn it! The sun isn't even that high, but Nezuko-Nee already burns this much. I use my healing technique to make sure her body didn't get any worse than this. I feel my body gets weaker but I force myself to keep going. I can't let my sister die... no matter what.

What can I do?
