Chapter 15 - Helping Hand

(sorry that there aren't any capital letters in the right places;; i was too lazy to turn my caps lock back on-)

The demon grunts, losing his balance and stepping back trying to regain it. he looks back up, a blade going straight for him at a high speed.

Y/N thrusts her blade forward, jabbing it straight into his stomach, pulling it back out. she swiftly brings her blade back up and swings it at his neck, getting caught in his hard spine.

he jumps away, arm slowly regenerating while his free hand tightens its grip on his blade. "you aren't getting me that easily."

Y/N doesn't answer, keeping her breathing still as her eyes narrow, giving him a stare that makes him feel like he wants to fall down and hide from her.

she dashes towards him, moving so fast that he can barely track her movements.

First Person POV

i jump from side to side, his eyes trying to track where i'll go next. i jump to his right, going out of his line of sight, 'an opening!' I chuck my blade at him, it stabbing his neck and going straight through.

he reaches for the crimson red blade, but before he can pull it out i grab the handle and push it further in. the blade pierced through his neck, coming out of the other side, blood dripping down the tip.

gripping harder on the blade, i push it further then drag it to the side, the blade slowly but surely cutting through his neck.

a hand coming from behind reaches for mine, but instead of it stopping me, it pushes my hand. hard. the blade slicing the demon's head off, it landing into the floor.

i look down into the puddle of blood at my feet where the head landed, i look at my face. i see that the black crest is present on my face. my bright red blade catches my eye, 'the demon slayer crest...' i thought. i then turn around, my eyes landing on a the man with the half and half haori.

"giyuu..!" tears spring to the corner of my eyes as he gives me a small smile, opening his arms as i run in between them, wrapping my arms around him.

"..i'm glad you're alright, y/n," he wraps his arms around me, but looking down, he quickly sees that my wound has bled out onto my haori, pulling away. "your wound.. we'll get it treated," he says, and almost immediately the pain hits me, making me quietly groan. maybe the adrenaline made me forget about it..?

giyuu reaches into his pant pocket, pulling out bandages. i sit down and lean against a pole, taking off my (favourite pattern) haori and unbuttoning my shirt, revealing my left arm pale and bleeding badly.

he carefully grabs my arm and wraps the bandage around it tightly. blood soaked into the bandage as he ties a knot to keep it from moving too much. i take a look at him and see that he's injured as well, but not as bad as me.

third person pov

y/n buttons her shirt and puts her haori back on, slowly standing back up and sheathing her sword. "thank you," she bows and smiles, giyuu giving her a small smile back.

y/n looks back to see the body slowly disintegrating and quickly looking back at giyuu. "on my way here i was with tanjiro, but we got separated.. i'm scared that he might be fighting someone strong right now..."

giyuu looked at you with that cold expression, making you glance at the floor to avoid his gaze. he raised his hand, then you felt something warm rubbing your head... no, not rubbing.. patting?

you looked up to see giyuu smiling, patting your head. "it'll be alright, y/n. i'm sure he's alright. he's strong after all," he reassured, comforting you and making you ease up.

a smile grows on your face as you nod, "mhm! i'm sure he'll be right! he's got to be!" you do a little fist pump in the air, eyes sparkling and smile beaming as he looks at you, the cold expression little to none as a smile grows on his features.

you check if the bandage is too loose or too tight, checking it and readjusting it slightly. "let's go," you say as you walk towards the door, sliding it open as he follows behind you. you both start running to wherever the place leads you too, it seems like an endless amount of corridors... it seems like it would never end the more you ran.

"AHHHH!"

a loud scream echoes throughout the hallway, it was more like a girly shriek... it sounded familiar.

you ran faster towards the owner of the sound, turning to the right you reach a door that you break through, impatient.

your eyes land upon pink and green hair, "MITSURI!" you look behind her and see tanjiro, he was injured but not heavily, and mitsuri just had minor cuts and scratches.

mitsuri's whip-like sword strikes the demon in front of her, it danced around, slicing the demons in the process. it was amazing how well she was able to control it, it was almost like ribbon, the way it swirled around just made it interesting to watch.

"y/n-chan!" mitsuri smiles as she folds her sword and sheathes it. "you're ok, right?" you ask, checking mitsuri for any wounds she wasn't talking about. "mhm! i'm in great shape!" you smile. you then turn to tanjiro, "i'm glad you're alive, tanjiro!" you bring him into a hug and he hugs back.

"i'm glad you're alive too!" he pulls away, looking at your arm. "that looks bad... are you sure you can still fight?" he asks, concerned. "..of course! it's my job after all," you smile, "anyways, we should get moving again. we need to find... him." your voice immediately changed when you said 'him,' you didn't want to say his name because it just feels gross coming out of your mouth, knowing that he's the one causing all this pain to you, and to everyone else.

mitsuri and tanjiro nod, running down the endless halls again. you turn to giyuu, "let's go," you tell him as you both start running after them.
