UNIVERSAL breathing, second form: First Day, First Night.

(Y/N) ran toward the demon in front of her with what looked to be like an attack that could easily be dodged, but then sped up in a way that almost allowed her to disappear—stunning the demon—before delivering two consecutive slashes downward onto its neck. In an instant, the demon turned to ash. Sheathing her sword, the black steel littered with an array of lights and colors glimmering in the soft moonlight, (Y/N) turned back to the person that she had saved.

"Are you okay?" She breathed out heavily as she turned towards the boy who had been knocked to the ground by the demon's attack. "Hey—"

She cut herself off when she was properly able to look at him, finding him to have short red-to-black hair that was kept out of his face, kind red eyes, and dangling hanafuda earrings. What was more, a hand-carved fox mask was tied around his head while a light blue, cloud-covered Haori covered his underclothes. Taking a step back, her eyes wide, she couldn't believe who she was seeing.

"Thank you... for saving me, Miss," Tanjiro uttered out in a daze, clearly having been surprised by the sudden appearance of the demon. "I'm okay now... I can't believe I was too distracted to even notice..."

"Of course..." she trailed off, unsure of how to interact with the main character of the show.

"Anyways, your sword techniques... that was amazing!" He continued with a bright smile as he picked himself up and brushed off the dirt that cling to his clothes, his red eyes practically sparkling with admiration the longer he looked at her. "What kind of Breathing Style was that?"

"Oh, uh... Universal Breathing," she smiled, flicking her eyes around, staying on guard. "It's a derivative created from Flame Breathing."

"Impressive," he exclaimed.

"Thank you," her smile softened, finding it adorable when his cheeks then flushed a soft pink. "Make sure to stay on guard, okay? Demons... they'll take any chance they can get to avoid a confrontation with your blade. If you mess up even once... it could spell the end of your life. It's lucky I was here, or else you could've ended up dead. I don't want that for you, or for anyone else. Please... stay careful."
