Chapter 26: Secret Exposed

You felt a shivering in spine with the sudden tension surrounding you, 'Weird, why did I feel something going to happen later?' You shrugged to ignore the feeling while helping the victims to get out of the overturned train with Zenitsu and Nezuko. After your job is done, you went to meet Tanjiro and Kyojuro where you saw Tanjiro lying on the ground heavily wounded, and Kyojuro is helping him how to use total concentration breathing to stop bleeding. You went to their side and look down to face Tanjiro, "My oh my, what happen to you? I can tell this injury isn't cause by the demon so what happen?"

Tanjiro replied softly with a small smile, "(Y/n)-san, I'm glad you're okay. Don't worry, it's just a small wound." You slapped Tanjiro's forehead lightly, "Always worried other people are your first priority, what about you?" Tanjiro said softly, "Sorry, (Y/n)-san." You sighed while looking at Kyojuro, "Kyojuro-san, are you alright? No wounded right?" Kyojuro replied enthusiastically, "Yes I am fine! Thank you for your concern!" You narrowed your eyes, then you took out a bag of candy like marbles for Kyojuro. "Here, it's for your energy." Kyojuro dazed for awhile then he replied, "Ah, thank you (Y/n)-san. You such a kind person." Kyojuro took one candy and eat it happily. Your attention went to Tanjiro again, "I will give you candy later, after you take Shinobu-san medicine." Tanjiro said loudly, "Of course, I will drink her medicine without any drop in it. Ouch!" Tanjiro hurt his injury a bit. You all laugh together, but after that the tension drops in suddenly.

Kyojuro stands in front of you and Tanjiro in protective way, you were a bit confusing and suddenly you realized. "Oh god." Akaza appears at a few distances in front from you all, he grin wide while narrowing his eyes then he appeared in front of Tanjiro aiming his fist at him. Fortunately, when his fist almost hit Tanjiro, Kyojuro slash Akaza arm to protect Tanjiro. Akaza back away for a few distance and praise him, "Nice sword." Akaza lick his blood on his arm. You smile widely and wave, "It's been a long time, Akaza-san." Tanjiro and Kyojuro were shocked that you know the Upper moon in front of you, Kyojuro asked the demon, "I can't understand why you'd go after a wounded person first." Akaza smirk, "I thought he'd get in the way of our conversation."

Akaza replied while Tanjiro took a chance trying to get up but he ended up crouching, Kyojuro tone become strict, "What could you and I have to talked about? It's our first meeting, but I already hate you." Akaza replies with a grin on his lips, "Really? I hate weak humans too. Weaklings make me sick." Kyojuro replied with a stern on his face, "It seems we have different moral values." Akaza replied calmly, "Then, I have a great proposal for you." He raise his palm, "How about you become a demon too?" Kyojuro straight away replied, "No way." Akaza grin widely when his eyes widen, "I know the instant when I saw you. From your strength, you must be a Hashira?"

You can say in his eyes, Kyojuro is spreading a fighting spirits of his is refined that means he is getting closer to the supreme realm that is what Akaza say. Kyojuro introduced himself, "I am the Flame Hashira, Rengoku Kyojuro." Akaza replied, "I'm guess I doesn't need to introduced myself since (Y/n) had already called my name." He winked at you, then you asked him. "Akaza-san when did you become so flirty?" He replied with a smirk, "Since whenever I saw you." You replied with an irked mark on your head, "Shut up and continue your speech." Meanwhile, Kyojuro and Tanjiro look at both of you with dotted eyes.

Akaza turned his attention to Kyojuro again, "Kyojuro, I'll tell you why you haven't crossed into the supreme realm. It's because you're just a human. You will grow old, and eventually die." Akaza stretched out his hand to invite Kyojuro, "Become a demon, Kyojuro. If you do, for a hundred, or even 200 years, you can continue training, and become stronger." You look at Tanjiro crouching form, you crouch down his level and patted his back. "Don't worry, me and Kyojuro-san will handle him together. You just need to rest only, don't overworked your body much, your wound might reopen again." Tanjiro look at your face and replied, "(Y/n) please, I still can fight."
