‼️TW: MANIPULATION, ANGST, DECEPTION OF DEATH, SANEMI (/J) ‼️

When the Water Pillar saw the black and pink eyes, he imminently grabbed his katana. By then the girl burst into tears and disappeared. He quickly stood up and looked around taking in his surroundings, when out of the wall a hand reached out and grabbed Tomioka's wrist. Without another thought he sliced through the bone of the demon hand. It shrieked out in pain before disappearing again.

From the wall where the girl had disappeared to, started leaking a form of light pink, barely visible gas. Tomioka waved his hand through it to inspect where the demon disappeared, when off to the side it reappeared. Once again the Pillar sliced through to the bone. The raven-haired boy noticed the gas again, after piecing it together he realized it came from the demon. 'Is that it's Blood demon Art? What does it do?' He thought to himself waiting for the demon to appear again.

Just then Giyuu felt very dizzy and his head began to throb. His hand that waved through the gas earlier began to feel like it was burning. It hurt so much the slayer dropped his sword and held his head tightly wobbling backwards and leaning against the wall.

The demon girl then reapered, but this time it looked like a pink ghost was standing right behind them. "HA! I CoUld SenCe You WerE a HasHirA, I DidN't eXpeCt yoU tO be ThiS weAk!" The ghost looking figure said distorted. "LetS seE sIsTsr, WhaT paInfuL memOry Did You FinD~?"

"There's this boy.. He seems to have been very important to him. I believe he has died.." The younger girl said, her eyes closed. The boy's head kept throbbing, the longer the girl's eyes were closed the more it hurt. The ghost girl began to grin then nodded her head.

Just like that the two disappeared and a familiar peach haired boy appeared. Upon the sight of the boy, the Pillar teared up.

Back with the other Slayers

---

After a long time of Sanemi complaining, and Tanjiro apologizing, the younger one noticed something missing. The red-haired boy took a quick look around, earning a bit of an annoyed yet confused expression from the older. "Where'd Tomioka go?"

"How should I know, honestly I'm glad he's gone, his seniority complex is too much." The white-haired one said thinking aloud.

Tanjiro let the olders' rude comment go, to say, "I think we should look for him, why would he wonder off alone if it wasn't important?"

Sanemi grunted in frustration, but realized the boy was right. Why would he? He gave in and agreed to follow him. So then the two slayers wandered around the town looking for the missing one.

Tanjiro happened to look down one of the alleyways where he saw a darkened figure sitting against the wall with another person standing over him. "Mr. Shinazugawa, down here.." The boy called out to the man ahead of him.

Tanjiro slowly walked down the alley with Sanemi waiting at the entrance. "Hello? Do you-" the boy had begun to say walking up to the person, then was cut off by shock to see the person on the ground was Giyuu. Tanjiro quickly looked to see who had put his friend in this state. He froze upon seeing the man who was standing.

It was the ghost boy that helped him train all that time ago under Urokodaki; Sabito. "What is going on?" Tanjiro asked to no one in particular. He looked back down to Giyuu and noticed the tears on his cheeks. "Mr. Tomioka!? What's wrong? What happened, are you okay??" He said loud enough for Sanemi to hear and cause him to come down to figure out what was going on.

When the Wind Pillar reached them, he didn't see what they saw. He just saw the little girl demon. "OI! What are you doing standing here!? There's a demon right here!" He yelled out in frustration, not seeing the other pillar.

The demon girl turned to face Sanemi, and smiled. The actions of the demon infuriated him, and he quickly went to decapitate her but was stopped in his tracks by Tomioka. "I'm not going to lose him again! Stay away from him!" The boy yelled out in desperation, tears falling from eyes again.

Sanemi took a step back, in shock seeing the emotionless prick, desperately trying to protect a demon.. Again. "What do you think you're doing!?" He called back.

"Stay away from him. I can't lose him again." Giyuu repeated.

"Lose who?? That's a demon! Pull yourself together!" Sanemi yelled in frustration, Giyuu wasn't making sense. Tanjiro finally coming out of shock, upon hearing Sanemi's words, understood the situation.

The youngest slayer quickly withdrew his sword while Giyuu and 'Sabito' where distracted by Sanemi's yelling, and decapitated him. The wanna be Sabito demon's fascade fell, revealing it as a young demon girl screaming out in pain and falling to the hard, cold ground.

Giyuu quickly turned around at the sound of the screaming. "What, what did you do.." He asked, staring down and the disintegrating demon in disbelief.

"Look, Mr. Tomioka.. It's gonna be okay,"Tanjiro said, trying to calm him down.

Giyuu finally came to his senses, and only let one more tears fall down his face. "Let's go." Was all he said, before turning around and leaving the alleyway.

Hello, Mystery here again. I'm really sorry I haven't updated in a long while, I've had a lot going on, and school really isn't helping. But I've got it all figured out and I'm hoping to get a bit of extra time to write. In the next the chapter there will definitely be progress, but hey we got a bit of angst in this one so I'm happy. If you have any suggestions I'm all ears, but also don't be afraid to comment, I wanna know what you all think. Thank you so much for granting me a portion of your time, until next time. Byee.
