New Breathing Style (Ice Breathing)

The Temari Demon and The Arrow Demon

Ichika's POV

I sighed in relief as I heard those words come out. I thought something happened to them when I smelled the blood. But thank goodness they're alright.

"But we did encounter Kibutsuji Muzan though."

My eyes widen why I heard that from Yui. "W-What? Muzan? Are you sure?" I asked as I held on to Yui's shoulders. My heart skipped a beat when she nodded.

I let go of Yui and hung my head low. My palms were sweating, heart racing and my mind was only filled with one thing.

KILL MUZAN.

I couldn't stop myself from smiling. I held my cheeks as I panted. The adrenaline in veins is amazing. I immediately calmed myself down and looked at Tanjiro with a serious expression. "Did you engage in battle with him?" I asked.

Knowing him, he would. But he's not strong enough yet. So how did they come back alive? Tanjiro shook his head.

I smiled. Good. I will be the one to kill him. He is my prey. Then suddenly, I felt a presence. Me, Yui and Tanjiro looked to the direction of the presence to see a boy. He looked like he was close to our age.

And of course I didn't fail to notice my best friend's flaring cheeks. I mentally smirked as I knew the reason why. We all walked towards him.

"W-Who are you?" Tanjiro asked. The teal haired boy wore an annoyed expression as he looked at us one by one. When his eyes landed on Yui, the blue haired girl blushed profusely. She looked down as she fiddled with her fingers. Her eyes kept looking anywhere but the teal haired boy.

I held back a laugh. My best friend is flustered because of a boy. How adorable. "I am Yushiro. You already met Tamayo-san so I must take you to her residence." he explains. I tilted my head in confusion, my index finger on my bottom lip. I looked at Tanjiro.

"Tamayo? Oh! You mean the woman who helped us earlier?" he said. Woman? Interesting.

"S-So Tamayo is the name of the w-woman earlier." Yui stuttered as she tuck a strand of her hair behind her ear. She briefly glance at Yushiro before averting her eyes. Yushiro didn't seem to notice. He looked at Nezuko with an indifferent look on his face.

"She looks unpleasant." he commented. My lips turned into a grin. Tanjiro wouldn't like that. Yui looked at Yushiro in surprise. Tanjiro looked at him with a blank face. He looked at Nezuko, then back at Yushiro. "Who? Nezuko?" he asked.

After processing what he said, his eyes widen. "HAAAAAAHH?!?! NEZUKO?! SHE IS THE BEAUTY OF OUR VILLAGE!!" he exclaimed. I laughed at his reaction. Yui chuckled.
Tanjiro flailed his arms and said, "NEZUKO IS A BEAUTY! HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT ABOUT HER!! LET'S GO TO SOMEPLACE WITH MORE LIGHTING THEN YOU CAN SEE HER NATURAL BEAUTY!!"

Yushiro's POV

This girl. Yui was it? She's very peculiar. Her avoiding eye contact with me is weird but I don't mind. What annoys me is that she'll glance at me whenever I'm not looking at her. She's weird. I don't think I can ever understand what that girl's thinking.

But by the looks of it, she's strong. As she talks with her friend Ichika, her sky blue eyes glimmered. My eyes widen. Her eyes...

They're very beautiful

W-Wha?! What am I saying?! I-I'm supposed to love Tamayo-san!

Tamayo-san is the woman I love. She's my saviour. But this girl. A girl I just met is messing up my whole mind. My... heart. Why? What makes her so different? Is it her unique aqua hair? Her soft lulling voice? Her sky blue eyes?
