𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐈𝐎𝐔𝐒𝐋𝐘:

However, you managed to recover almost in an instant to her attack, which made her incredibly enraged. Now exhausted and fatally injured, and near to death. You caught her in your arms as you embrace her before she could fall to the floor and began to mock her. You called her attempts to kill you were a waste of an effort, assuring her that she will live peacefully as a part of you.

You broke her back and began to absorb her, just as her disciple, Kanao Tsuyuri arrived, the woman managed to form a Tsuguko with her hand in her last moments before being fully absorbed as food.

𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍:

The butterfly shaped hair piece was the only thing left after Shinobu was fully absorbed and that made Kanao upset. You noted aloud the signal that Shinobu had given Kanao whilst being absorbed, wondering what she could've told her as kanao silently before him.

Then shortly after, Akaza's death was announced and you began to sob as the loss of a "friend", but Kanao tells you to stop it with the lies. She continuously begins to insult you until you begin to become serious.

Suddenly, you appear behind her and use one of your fans to try and slice her head but she quickly dodged and gave a blow to your stomach, causing some of your organs to fall out. Though, you didn't seem to feel the blow and simply sent the ice lotuses at her noting her lreaction speed has risen as she attempts to adapt your attacks. As you regenerate your body, you think to yourself that Kanao could actually be a little more skilled than shinobu.

Trying to suppress her rage, Kanao attacks you with the "𝗙𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗙𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺: 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆". Which he avoids with ease, smiling and commenting on how pretty her attack is before sending his "𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗿𝘁: 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗻" at her, which she barely fends off with the "𝗙𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺: 𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗱𝗼𝘄 𝗽𝗹𝘂𝗺".

You noticed she can only be able to counter and dodge his attacks because of her sharp eyes, since she takes notes of subtle movements of his shoulders, gaze, toes, elbows, and knees to predict what he'll do next, and it's best to prevent this by taking her eyes out with a swing of his fans.

Kanao dodges and charges at him with "𝗙𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝘀𝗶𝘅𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺: 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵", which is nullified by your next "𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗿𝘁: 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱𝘀". Which then you begin to send two more attacks, "𝗟𝗼𝘁𝘂𝘀 𝗩𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀" and "𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀", her way. Which she only just avoids before his "𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗜𝗰𝗶𝗰𝗹𝗲𝘀" begin to rain on her from above.

Kanao dodges again, moving farther away from you, who laughs at her and says that she can't keep moving backwards if she needs to cut off your head. At a speed too quick for the eyes to process. You run at Kanao snatching her blade, returning and planting it down on the ground a distance away from her. You said she better come and get it quickly if she wants to survive against him before sending his "𝗦𝗰𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗼𝘁𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘀" at the demon slayer.

At the moment, Inosuke breaks through the ceiling of the room, protecting Kanao from your attack with his "𝗕𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗙𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗵 𝗙𝗮𝗻𝗴: 𝗖𝗿𝗮𝘇𝘆 𝗖𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴". He looks into your eyes and notices that you're Rank Two, which he screams out, happily shouting that if he beats the demon, he'll become a Hashira and then proceeded to ask Kanao what his Hashira title should be.

Inosuke notice kanao's injures and asks what had happened, saying that Shinobu would be mad if she found out she was injured, and you explained that shinobu was dead because you have absorbed her. Enraged, Inosuke rushes takes towards the Upper Moon Two aka you with his "𝗕𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗙𝗮𝗻𝗴: 𝗦𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲 '𝗻' 𝗗𝗶𝗰𝗲".
