As the demon began beating faster and faster on the drums, we both ended up being flipped off the wall we were standing on, making us practically float in mid-air.

As we got closer and closer to the bottom, we landed on the original floor, making papers fly out of one of the drawers.

"Yami I got it! I know how to move now!" Tanjiro shouted, standing above one of the papers.

When the demon looked up from the ground (which was apparently very interesting), I noticed how the claw marks had increased. I didn't waste any time rushing toward the demon, wanting to get this over with fast.

As the demon noticed what was happening, he began sending more claw attacks, making me and Tanjiro's rush slow a bit.

"Total Concentration, Water Breathing, Ninth Form: Splashing Water Flow- Terbulant!" I heard Tanjiro shout as he began dancing around the room, a long river flowing behind him, successfully evading all of the demon's attacks.

'What a long name... That would be very irritating to me.'

"Night Breathing, Third Form: Shadow Leap," I said, jumping around the room, dodging attacks and nearly gracing the floor to not lose footing on the quickly moving floors.

As we close in on the demon, it reaches toward a drum, the one on his stomach in particular. I change my trajectory, shooting toward his arms while Tanjiro his neck.

"Night Breathing, Fifth Form: Dusk's Decent,"

His arms are cut off and Tanjiro closes the distance between his sword and the demon's neck.

"Your blood demon art! It was incredible!" Tanjiro shouts, removing the former Kizuki's head.

After Tanjiro landed, he ended up collapsing. Saying something about being the eldest brother.

I give him small rubs on the back, trying to comfort him to the best of my ability.

"Boy! Tell me, was my blood demon art... really that good?"

I looked at the demon confused.

Well, faux confusion. They told me all about this before.

Tanjiro is silent for a moment before saying "It was, but I cannot allow the death of innocent humans."

'Oh. Well good because no human is innocent anymore. Only the young...' I mentally sighed. 'Oh, though it isn't a Twelve anymore...'

I throw a small knife, gifted by Lady Tamayo, at the demon's body, making blood flow into the small capsule in the handle.

The tabby cat from before meowed, appearing in front of us, prompting me to put the now-filled knife inside the small pouch around its neck.

"I will find Zenitsu and Shoichi. I believe there is also another person here, I'm not sure if he's a slayer or not, but I heard him earlier. I'll leave you to find the other two." I say, splitting up with Tanjiro after he recovers his breathing and composer.
