"Well, are you two going to pay?" the waitress pestered.

"Oi, Kokushibo..." (Name) kicked the demon's leg hard from under the table, "when I wink, we both get the fuck out of here, okay?"

Kokushibo didn't respond, since he was too busy wincing innerly from the force she kicked him in. He nodded slowly, and (Name) began to stall.

"We'll pay. Just wait a moment, please." (Name) smiled at the waitress, making her blush since this female customer is really attractive.

The waitress turned around to calm her pink face down, and (Name) took this chance to shove the leftover foods in containers into her kimono sleeve. She winked at Kokushibo, and the two bolted out of there at lightning speed, their actions causing a hurricane to ignite in the restaurant.

"What the-" the manager came out from the back, and the waitress gasped.

They shrieked from the cool wind as their restaurant came tumbling down because of the power from the whirlwind.

Everybody rushed out to see the two criminals jump on roofs and disappear into the night. The manager cursed and he forced everyone to gather their weapons and kitchen tools, as a whole ass mob of angry waiters and waitresses began to go after (Name) and Kokushibo.

"Fuck! They're coming after us!" (Name) cried, her feet slipping since she was still wearing her oiran high shoes, "fuck these shoes!"

Kokushibo caught her and steadied her, the two staring down at the mob who threw curses and shouts at them.

"Kokushibo, let's split up. I'll go one way and you'll go the other way." (Name) told him, "let's just hope we'll manage to lose them. It shouldn't be hard with our speeds."

With a flash, (Name) and Kokushibo dashed off into the opposite directions. Kokushibo made his way towards the brothels while (Name) headed towards the outskirts of town. She jumped down - almost falling on her face because of the shit shoes, and looked back to see the angry crowd after her.

"What the fuck?" she raised an eyebrow and began running, "why are they only after me?"

"Oh well, at least there's no Upper Moons here."

"So slow, you're making me yawn." Upper Moon 6 scowled as she turned to stare at Tanjiro in the eye.

Tanjiro froze as her sashes slammed him back. He tried to go into a defensive position, but the demon slayer collided on the ground, wincing from the impact. He breathed in and out, feeling his body throb with pain.

"The recoil from doing the two fire dances in a row! My muscles are tense from the build up! Keep your breath steady. Recovery breath!"

Tanjiro's eyes focused and he gripped his blade. He launched forwards again and began to engage in combat with the demon again.

"He's more persistent than I thought." the female demon giggled in her head, "this is sort of fun. I hope she's more entertaining though."

"I... I can fight an Upper Moon! I'm using the Dance of the Fire God!" Tanjiro cried in his head, trying to catch his breath, "I can't just stop using it! I'll win! I'll win and protect more people! I won't let irrationality hold me back again! Not ever! I will never let anyone go through those experiences again!"

"I'll catch up to you, (Name)! This time, let me protect you!"

"Oh please. Repulsive things will always be repulsive, no matter how hard they try." the demoness smirked, watching with amusement as the demon slayer attacked her again.
