Akaza relaxed his shoulders and gulped. In front of him is his one and only sister.

The only family he had left.

The person he longed to find.

"F/N?" He muttered. "What are you doing here?"

Yoru, who just returned back to her human form frowned at what she heard. What is he saying? "Akaza," she called. "Enough of this bullshits." She took a deep breathe before walking towards his direction with fear. She couldn't read him and his moves. She doesn't know if he's just fooling her and may attack her gravely once she's on his reach. Yet, she moved and walked calmly in fromt of him. "Onii-chan..."

"You're a hashira?" He asked.

"Stop fooling around."

"You're here to kill me, aren't you?"

"Onii-chan—" Before she could even finish, a hand tightly grasped her neck and shoved her to the wall.

"F/N!" Giyuu yelled and was about to help, but F/N raised her hand and signalled him to stop and back off. He knew she had something in her mind and even if bothers him, he decided to let her do her own.

"Did you know why I become a demon?" Akaza asked angrily. "IT'S ALL TO FIND YOU!"

"I've...heard a lot—ack!"

"Is this how you greet your brother, huh? By attacking him and introducing yourself as one of the hashira?!"

"We've met before... At the forest," she recalled. Even with his grip tightening around her neck, she refuses to stop. She promised to remind him everything he had to know. "You stalked me and told me that you're my Onii-chan... Don't you remember that?"

"Huh? Liar!" He yelled.

"You were...about to get married to... to Koyuki-san," she whispered while catching her breath. "The...f-fireworks—"

"SHUT UP NOW, WILL YOU?!" He shouted before throwing her into the other side of the room.

Pain circulated all over her body and the only thing she can do to heal is to use Yoru and regemerate. But, she cannot risk taking her form or it'll fuel Akaza more.

Giyuu on the other hand couldn't stand what he saw and stood up to join the fight. His blade clasehed with his fist and so on. Tanjiro also stood up and gathered the remaining strength he has before attacking.

"Hakuji! You asked me to make you remember everything once we met again, did you?!" She said. "I am! I am doing it now!"

"Onii-chan. You gotta fight it," she whispered.

The fight gets more intense and nothing changes after F/N tried making him remember everything. She can't make him drink her blood because he was fast enough to dodge his free arm.

Giyuu even manifested his mark that surprised F/N now that she finally saw what it actually looks like. During her comatose, she could hear Shinobu and Muichiro talking to her unconscious body about this manifestations and the possibilities of how they'll achieve the marks.

She was also told that she won't be able to manifest hers.

"Giyuu!" She yelled after being thrown into the wall. Minutes ago, it was Tanjiro whom he blacked out at the back of the hall and hasn't moved since.
