The Chosen One

Muzan pt 2

The Moon Hashira opened her eyes just to close it again... The light was too bright, she couldn't see anything...

"Yuzuki, my child, get up please... The others need you..."

A familiar soft voice spoke to her as Yuzuki tried to adjust her vision. It was white everywhere, she couldn't make out her surroundings.

"W-where am i? Who are you?" She asked and sat up.

"I'm the moon goddess... I've been the one who spoke to you during your fights with Muzan and Kokushibo. And right now, I'm talking to you through your dreams..." The woman in front spoke as her face held a gentle smile... She was wearing a white dress and gave of a gentle aura...

"What do you need?" The woman gave another smile, but this time it looked like a sad one...

"Finish off Muzan... Tanjiro will need your help. It's only you both who can get to a closer range to Muzan and drive him to the brink of death. You can hold him in place until the sun rises."

"Why me?" Yuzuki asked while the woman gave her another smile.

"My child, why do you think you couldn't master Star breathing? You think it was pure coincidence that you found out about Moon breathing all of a sudden in a book? I've seen Muzan kill thousands of innocent lives during nighttime.. For hundreds of years he did that and I couldn't do anything to save my children. And the worst part was, the first one who invented Moon breathing, chose to become a demon. Then, I found you. You were always the chosen one dear... I have my faith in you, I know you'll be able to finish him off."

"How will I be able to do it?"

"Concentrate on turning your sword red. When cut by a red sword, muzan's regeneration will slow down. Accompanied by Tamayo's medicine, you can hold him until sunrise."

Seeing Yuzuki in deep thought, the woman patted her head.

"Don't worry, I'll be there to guide you. Michikatsu himself will also help you. You'll win. Trust yourself."

Yuzuki's eyes snapped open and she sat up breathing heavily. A surge of energy passed through her body and she was ready to be back in the fight. Her hand and the back of her head was bandaged. The moon goddess was no longer in front of her but she could still feel her around. Strangely, she could also feel another presence which felt like she knew who it was...

She headed back into the fight to find Muzan sending his whips for the slayers who had been thrown away.

"Moon breathing, sixteenth form, moonbow, half moon." Six curved slashes cut through all his whips as the Moon Hashira joined the fight once again. It horrified Muzan as he wasn't able to regenerate fast enough. The others were shocked too.

"It's you who's going to die today Muzan... You'll have to die, you'll have to atone for the sins you committed." The demon slayers as well as Muzan were surprised to hear her voice. That didn't sound like her own voice at all.

Yuzuki's mark glowed as she held out her sword. Their eyes widened in surprise when they saw her sword had turned into a bright red colour.

"Moon breathing, twelfth form, craters of the moon, impacting." Yuzuki jumped up sending a giant tidal wave of light and rubbles towards Muzan. The attack cut off his right arm and once again, it took him some time to regenerate back.

"Moon breathing, seventeenth form, black ring, lunar eclipse." Dashing towards Muzan, Yuzuki did a horizontal spin and slashes Muzan along his torso.

"Moon breathing, tenth form, drilling slashes, moon through bamboo leaves." Three rotating saw like slashes were hurled towards the demon with crescent moon blades following.
