Tokito was slammed onto the ground, how far had that demon thrown him? How was he so strong? Was he an upper moon? He couldn't just leave Tanjiro there alone with him if so!!

The mist pillar quickly stood up and ran deeper into the forest in the direction of the house. He knew the Love pillar was here as well.. maybe if he could find that pillar they could help.. but what did they look like again? They're a girl right?

Suddenly he heard a noise.. but it was a human.. it grabbed his attention for sure. He looked over in the direction of the sound. It was a kid wearing the masks the swords smiths wear, so he must be from the village.. And he was being attacked by a fish like demon, definitely a weak one. The kid was trying to defend himself with a knife, but the demon had grabbed his neck as was choking him.

Tokito considered stopping for a moment.. but he kept running. Theses demons might be attacking the village.. After he cleared out those demons he'd immediately go to Tanjiro and help him. Besides, what's the lost of one child? Surely he couldn't be that important.

No.. what am I thinking..? What would Tanjiro think if I left a child to die?

Tokito quickly turned his body as he ran to the boy. He swiftly cut the arm that was holding the small child, Tokito using his body to block any attacks that may come their way "Get out of here kid! You'll get in my way!!" He yelled before cutting the demons head off quickly and precisely.

The boy in the mask gasped at the sight "Woah!! Thank you for saving me!!" The boy chirped happily.

Tokito looked down at the boy.. why was that fuzzy feeling back...? "It's nothing. Go home now. You'll get in my way other wise." The pillar said.

The small child nodded before he turned and started to run away from the pillar. Tokito let out a soft sigh.

The moment of silence didn't last long as the dark haired boy noticed something strange. His crystal eyes were drawn to a vase on the branch of a tree.. Tokito was immediately on high alert. This wasn't a good sign.

The boys suspicions were soon confirmed, as a cloud of white smoke crawled out from the vase, the misshapen figure of a demon appearing. This demon was.. Well he was ugly. With mouths or eyes and a eye in his mouth.. But their was a number of the 12 moon demons on the eye. Tokitos body seemed to tense up, another one? So there were two in the city..

"Ho ho~ Look at this delectable little subject~" The demon said. His voice was deep but strangely smooth, yet annoying. This was a strange character indeed.

Tokito stayed quiet, his eyes locked on the demon. He scanned the area. There were vases similar to the ones the demon was pouring out of.

"Excuse me you rude little boy!! Are you not going to say anything?!" The demon suddenly called out, its pale white face red with anger.

"No." Tokito replied bluntly.

"How Rude!!" He shouted. "Rude boys should he punished!"

Waste of time. I need to get back to Tanjiro.

Tokito steadied his footing, drawing his sword quickly and calmly. He shifted his footing and leaped up, cutting the vase of the demon in half before falling back to the ground.

"Clever boy~" That voice rang out again. "But not clear enough I'm afraid~!" I was from behind!

Tokito spun around, by by then it was too late. The demon had emerged from a different vase, and it seemed he had another in his hands. Two fish with puffed out cheeks spilled out of the vase, and before Tokito could reach, a large amount of spikes plunged their way into his skin.

They were everywhere. Inside his cheeks, in his shoulders, in his arms. But if he stopped now he'd never get to Tanjiro. Desperately he gripped his sword and ran at the demon, preparing to swing.

"Dumb move boy~" The demon said as the vase in his hand soon blashed out a conclave of water. The water wrapped itself around Tokito, trapping him in a prison. A watery prison with no air. He put his sword to the wall of the container, pushing it has hard as he could but without a proper way to breathe? There was no way he could push through. This must be his blood demon art!

The demon smirked, almost in a smug manner as he watched the boy struggle before him. "I'll leave you to die then, I'll be back. I don't plan on wasting my food~!" He said as he retreated back into his vase, leaving Tokito alone to try and get out.

Tokito desperately tried to slash his sword against the pressure of the water, the liquid was going to fill his lungs.. But he couldn't leave Tanjiro!! He could die!! He's not a pillar!! He has no backup but his sister!!

Tokito tried again, this time his swing was weak. The spikes. They must have some type of poison.

If I could breathe I could hold the poison back till Tanjiro is safe.. Tanjiro please be safe!!

The more Tokito tried the more weaker he became, till he could no longer hold his sword properly. He stared out into the forest, his vision getting foggy.. Like a mist was covering the ground.. he closed his eyes..

Guess I'm gonna die.. I'm sorry Tanjiro. I'm sorry I couldn't have protected you..

"What makes you say that, Muichiro?"

Suddenly, Tokito's eyes opened wide up. Tanjiro was standing there. Just staring, at first, he thought it was real.. but then reality set in.

I'm hallucinating.. How fun..

"How do you know what the future holds?"

Wait.. Tanjiro never said anything of the sort to me.. so.. who said that..?

The mist around the ground engulfed Tanjiros figure, staying still for a brief moment. When the mist retreated, there stood a man. He had the same eyes as Tanjiro, the same colored hair. But this was a grown man. A Man, Tokito knew. Tokito recognized.

Dad?
