You picked up your sword that was conveniently next to you. You would be lying if you said you didn't feel bad for missing half of the fight, especially since now the once bustling town is now quite literally on fire. But it was never to late.

You stood up and brushed off the dirt and ash on your uniform. There was some blood near the neck line of the uniform from where you were stabbed but it was okay. The wound had completely healed up just feeling like a slight sore throat.

You glanced around, looking for any sign of the others. When your eyes landed on a lifeless Tengen laying on the ground. His wrist completely cut off.

Your eyes widened as you rushed over to him. Immediately falling to the ground next to him. "God damn it Uzui- get up!" You exclaimed. Pushing him to try and get him to wake up. No response. "If you die I swear to god I'll never forgive you!"

You pressed your fingers into the side of his throat to check his pulse. His heart was still beating. Which made you let out a sigh relief

"Don't scare me like that." You grumbled. "You have no idea what I just went through and I don't need you adding to the stress."

You sighed before taking the bandages tengen kept wrapped around him and tying up his wound in a rush. You didn't know where Tanjiro or the others were. So you had to make it fast..even if the bandage job was sort of bad it would work.

A sigh escaped your mouth as you heard talking coming over from nearby. Your head immediately turned to look.

There sitting on one of the buildings that was that one girl demon. Daki, you think her name was. And in front of the building stood the other demon. Crouching down to look at Tanjiro who was sitting on the ground.

"Your quite a lucky guy..to bad that's all you have going for you..." Gyutato said through laughs. Tanjiro stared up at him with wide-eyes filled with fear.  "All your friends are dead, y'know that? That boar guy was stabbed through the heart, that yellow one is crushed under all that rubble, squirming like a cockroach..that male Hashira is dead also. Seems that poison did in fact get to him.." Gyutaro giggled, continuing. "And that girl..didn't stand a chance. Stabbed right through the throat before the fight could even get good. So much for that Hashira title."

You stared from afar, not being able to make out some of the words Gyutaro was saying. Tons of thoughts whirled in your mind. Not knowing who to help first. Alright, Y/n. Get yourself together. We gotta save Tanjiro first- he could easily be killed next.

You took a big breath of air as you ran over to him, sword in hand. With one quick slash you sent your sword directly into Gyutaros neck. Having to use all your might to even get a quarter through it.

Gyutaros eyes widened before turning into a glare. Taking his sickles and directly slashing them at you. To which you dodged with ease. Though having to remove your sword to do so.

"Y/n!- I thought you were dead!" Tanjiro exclaimed.

"I thought I was also." You said with a shrug. Sky breathing. Fourth form, Hunters shot. You flew straight at Gyutaro. Slashing directly at his chest. Leaving a wide wound.

Suddenly a bunch of obi was sent flying your way. You jumped back, dodging all of them with ease. Shit! I forgot all about the other demon..

You glanced over to Tanjiro, who was shakily trying to stand up. "Tanjiro!- go help Zenitsu and inosuke. I'll be fine!" You said in a hurry. Dodging more and more obi by the second.

You rushed At Gyutaro again, your sword raised before it clashed against Gyutaros neck again. Getting halfway through before obi was sent flying at you. You were so close to decapitating him- in a split second decision you took your sword out once again,

It soon started to sink in. This was a 1v2, even worse, it was against an uppermoon. You glanced over at Tanjiro. Who was helping Zenitsu out of the rubble. You silently cursed yourself as you realized you were helpless.

While mid thought Gyutaro starting sending slash after slash at you with his sickles. That combined with the amount of obi you were dodging was hard.

You sent a slash at his wrist. Completely cutting it off. Before Gyutaro kicked into you, sending you flying into nearby rubble. You groaned in pain as Tengen suddenly appeared aside you. Tugging you onto your feet in a hurry.

"I can handle gyutaro." He said simply. Not bothering to look you over for any injuries.

You nodded as you watched him speed off at Gyutaro. You immediately started heading towards Daki. Until a flash of yellow appeared. Causing you to stumble back as you realized Zenitsu was alive-

You stood idly as you debated what to do. Zenitsu seemed to know what he was doing and Tengen was already doing well.

You looked around, inosuke was assisting Zenitsu while tanjiro was no where to be found.

You turned back to Tengen. Seeing tanjiro rushing behind Gyutaro with some sort of Kunai and stabbing it into Gyutaros side.

Your eyes lit up- you knew that was laced with wisteria poison. You watched as the fight continued on.

After what seemed like a few minutes. You saw both of the upper moons heads roll onto the floor.

"Holy shit.." you mumbled.
