Miscommunications and I have to say, by the way, I may have some explanations.

The house crumbled around them. Dust clouded the air, making it hard to breathe. Sounds of pieces of the house falling echoed through the trees. Y/n immediately shot her hand out for her sword, so did Tanjiro. Her knuckles turned white due to how hard y/n gripped her sword. Tanjiro held Nezuko close to his body, seemingly protecting her from something she didn't exactly needed protection from.
Y/n found the perpetrators, two demons. One with orange-tipped hair holding two Termari balls. The other was way behind the other one, with short black hair. Both wore beautiful kimonos in different colors. Y/n could feel the malevolent intent radiating off of them.
Not giving them a second to breathe, the demon threw one of her balls at them. They flew through the air with amazing speed and strength. The ball expedited it's mission at destroying everything in it's path.
Tanjiro, being protective over the two girls, grabbed y/n's arm and pulled her closer to him. They both began to evaluate the situation; they knew what the first one did, but the second one, they had no clue. Y/n's mind corrupted her with questions, how did they find this place? Wasn't it supposed to be hidden? Why would they go out of their way to find it when there's a whole city close by? Did Muzan send them? Tanjiro nudged y/n to get her to stop spacing out.
"Lady Tamayo!" Yushiro cried out. Y/n and Tanjiro whipped their heads around to the sound of Yushiro. In a moment, one of the Termari balls smashed into Yushiro's head. Blood splattered everywhere as Tamayo caught his limp body. Tanjiro called the demon boy's name, clutching y/n's arm more.
"Nezuko, take the sleeping lady in the back somewhere safe outside," Tanjiro requested, looking over to his sister. Y/n was more worried about the balls that were being thrown at them, guiding Tanjiro and her out of the way. One thing she noticed was that the balls wouldn't go exactly in one direction, they would go haywire everywhere.
"It's too dangerous outside! We have a basement, take her there!" Tamayo called back to them.
"Yes, ma'am!" Tanjiro answered, turning back to Nezuko. The girl gave a quick nod of comprehension before running off and through the door of the room. Through all the sounds, they could hear a maniac laughing.
"That's one down!" One demon cackled. Y/n looked down at the arm Tanjiro was still clutching, it was sweet that he was protective, but y/n didn't exactly need it. The Termari balls had returned to their rightful owner, giving them a moment of peace. Well, as much peace as one can get during a battle.
"The Demon Slayer with hanafuda earrings," she detected, with a crazy smile on her face. "It's you, isn't it?" Tanjiro was taken aback by the demon's comment, but he still stood his ground, letting go of y/n's arm in the process. Just by looking at the demons, you could tell they were stronger than the one's they had faced before. Based on what the demon said, y/n confirmed the fact that Muzan sent them.
"Miss Tamayo," Tanjiro shouted. "Please find a place to hide! It's clear I'm the one they are after!" His gaze shifted to y/n, "you too, y/n. Protect them and the women."
Y/n almost laughed in his face. "Leave you alone? Not a chance. I'm a trained demon slayer too, you know. I'm staying at your side no matter what." Tanjiro had never seen y/n so set on something. He knew not to argue with her, that lesson was learned a few hours earlier. So, Tanjiro gave a swift nod of agreement.
"Tanjiro," Tamayo spoke. "I want you to fight without worrying about us. We will survive without yours or y/n's protection. We are demon's after all." A weight on y/n's chest lifted, she had forgot the fact that demon's can regenerate. Even if Yushiro had been a douche, she still cared if he was okay or not.
"Well then..." the Termari demon started. "It's all over for you now!" She threw one of her balls at Tanjiro. He stood his ground, held his sword up, and sliced through the ball. Y/n thought it was nice to know that the balls weren't completely indestructible. Even though the ball had been cut, it still continued it's journey towards Tanjiro's face. Y/n couldn't think of how it could still move. Then, it dawned on her, the other demon.
Before y/n could pass this information to Tanjiro, someone muttered something from behind them. They both shouldn't have looked, but they did and saw Yushiro's head slowly rebuilding itself up. Once his mouth was regenerated, he said something to the doctor holding him. Meanwhile, the Termari demon had shredded her haori.
"Hey, he's babbling!" She shouted, pulling down her kimono so it hung at her waist. This revealed a black band around her waist. "This is so fun!"
"I mean, to be killed by one of the twelve kizuki," she laughed. "You should be honored!"
"Oh fuck." Y/n said.
Sorry for the kind of short chapter, I'm abt to get hit with a hurricane T-T. So, I probably won't be updating this for a bit <3 LOVE YAAA
