Damn it all.
I covered my mouth with my haori and glared at the two demons.
Why does trouble always revolve around me.
I noticed the two temaris in one of the demons hands.
Is that what cause this damage.
I watched as she prepared to throw them again and I ducked down.
This is bad...
Should I intervene? I know I'm not supposed too cause Tanjiro needs this for experience...
even so.. I watched as one of the temaris bounced around the room.
Yushiro stood up to protect miss, tamayo and got his head busted clean off.
I didn't worry, because I knew he didn't die.
But Tanjiro did not.

" yushiro!"

Tanjiro yellled out in pain.
I watched as Tanjiro talked about something with Nezuko which sent her running off.
I moved towards Tanjiro and took my place behind him.

" Tanjiro. You may have noticed but these demons aren't like the others. I'm certain these demons were sent from kibutsuji... I need you to understand I still can't intervene, but I will watch over you."

Tanjiro looked behind him at me and nodded nervously.
I felt bad but nodded back.
I was about to walk off and disappear when he yelled out.

"Take miss,tamayo and yushiro to the basement! They're in danger.."

Tanjiro looked at me with pleading eyes.
I straightened my back and said.

" Tanjiro....they're demons... they can't die from this....worry about yourself..."

He looked at me with wide eyes and I disappeared.
I walked outside and fought the urge to run at them.
I walked to a tree that was behind them and quite far, but not so far where I can't keep an eye on Tanjiro. The demon girl stopped for a bit and said.

" huh...the boy with hanafuda-like earrings...it's you isn't it?"

My eyes narrowed. Now I truly know Muzan sent them. He's obsessed with those earrings.
It also shows that they're only after Tanjiro.
The battle went on for a long time.
Tanjiro held out very well. I watched as the demon grew extra arms and obtained more temaris.
My eyes narrowed.
I hate just watching, but it's not my turn to shine.
The battle continued.
I watched as Nezuko came out.

" Nezuko.."

I said with a surprised tone.

" there you are~"

I looked up to see the other demon.
I got off the tree and looked up.
Damn... I was to distracted with the scene in front of me.

" calm down... I not here to fight you..."

I looked up confused.

" why's that.."

" you take me for a fool? I know who you are..."

I glared and stood relaxed looking up.

" so what do we do then..."

The closed eyed male demon looked down at me with his hands which contained eyes.

" I guess nothing.."

I watched as the demon moved further into the trees away from the fight.
But at the same time I watched as Nezuko jumped a few minutes after him.
I turned my focus back to Tanjiro and wondered.
There must be another reason he didn't want to fight me....it couldn't have been because he felt he'd lose...
I watched as Tanjiro walked out while the demon prepared for her next attack.
She threw the temaris which sent Tanjiro running.
Lucky none of them hit him.
Tanjiro suddenly stopped.
I tensed up and watched.
What is he doing.
The temaris came blocking him from any exit point.
I held back, but I prepared my self just in case.
I watched as he set up one of his forms and sliced all the temaris in half, while cutting the demons arms off.
I smirked.
He's really impressive.

" miss, tamayo! Are these demons close to kibutsuji?"

She nodded.

" most likely."

Tanjiro had a serious face and vowed.

" then, I'm going to extract blood from them for sure!"

I watched as the demon turned around clearly mad about what Tanjiro said and grew back her arms. I glared...
I saw a shadow go over my head and watched as Nezuko ran into Tanjiro.
My eyes widened and I refrained from blowing my cover yet again.
The other demon jumped down a few feet in front of me and laughed.
I fought down the urge to kick him.
How dare he hurt Nezuko...
Tanjiro and Nezuko talked for a minute and switched battle opponents.
I watched as Tanjiro ran to the demon close to me and missed a swing.
He then started to be thrown around like a ping pong ball. I watched with pain, he was getting hurt yes, but he wasn't gonna be killed from it.
The other demon fought against Nezuko until yushiro stepped in and threw in a few punches.
He brought her to her knees and said.

" that's what you get for hurting lady tamayo."

The demon in front of me said.

" Tamayo?"

I looked at him with Suspicion.

" hey, susamaru, the one over there... wouldn't that be tamayo the fugitive? What a great souvenir she'll make!"

" is that right..."

She then threw all 6 of her temaris and Nezuko attempted to kick one. I knew she shouldn't kick it but i can't say anything to warn her. The others tried but it was too late, she kicked the ball and her leg came clean off. The demon who's name is susamaru kicked Nezuko back into the house.

" hey yahaba...will four head be enough to take home?"

I see they forgot about me. Which is good.

" no. We're taking two"

The demon yahaba moved to the side of the house with Tanjiro and I followed them to another tree so I can keep an eye on both of them.
I watched as the demon used his demon art again on Tanjiro which he dodged.
I watched as Tanjiro tried to cut one of the arrows and I glared.
That wasn't smart.
He got thrown into the brick wall that was between two trees.
The impact made his sword fly out of his hands leaving him defenseless.
I jolted off a tree.
Should I intervene now?
Another arrow was shot at him but missed and took his haori instead.
Another arrow came and wrapped around his arm.
Tanjiro then ran to a tree and twisted in the opposite direction the way the arrow was twisted on his arm.
He ended up by his sword and things turned out ok.
I continued to lean on the tree and watched.
I watched as the demon threw another set of arrows at Tanjiro which he took into one of his forms.
He used the momentum from the arrows and sliced the demons head right off.
I smirked proud of him.
I looked over to susamaru and glared.
She's next.
