  "Oh fuck abort abort," i screeched endlessly as different attacks were being thrown in every direction. I was standing at the edge of the platform and this horse looking ass demon multiplied itself. I mean i can easily tell them apart of which one is real, but the odor it gave out made me wanna shit myself.

  "Please take a shower my guy," whining, i held onto my breath and sprinted to the side, and slicing his neck in half with my blade. Blood spurted right onto my face and everywhere within the surface. 

  "nevermind. You're already dead. I'm the one who needs a shower," I let out a sigh and placed my sword back in its place. Giyuu and Tanjirou came back after a min, using up an excuse that they almost fell through the boxes.

  "what happned to you?" Tanjirou asks.

  "i killed, chopped, sliced, diced, cooked a soup."

  We continued to run along, with tanjirou being a bit clumsy. Just as the day could'nt get worse, a crow had flew passed repeatedly shouting that shinobu had died. I can feel my heart drop, but it wasn't the time to be emotional. she was really my closest friend ever since i joined the pillars. It was ony normal to feel the hatred against muzan and his pawns grow. 

  I can feel Giyuu's and Tanjirou's eyes staring at me, hoping that i was ok. knowing that shinobu died, all i hope is zenitsu making here alive. I need him to. He's the only family i have left since a kid. 

  Lost in thoughts, a sudden force forcefully ripped the platform i was on into half. I jumped back in surprise, only to meet another ugly ass demon, intimidating tanjirou. Of course, out of nature i had to join the fight, so i lunged myself with the blade out ready to attack. Unfortunately, i missed. I missed by a lot.

  "what the fuck, get yourself together," I muttered. As Giyuu gave his first attack, i sneaked behind the demon and yielded out the nichirin up to his head. The demon was quick to notice so he turned around and grabbed a hand full of my face before throwing me to a wall on another block. 

  "This guy isn't playing around," I coughed out blood and got off from the wall. After regaining back my full composure, I jumped back to where the others were--retrieving my blade easily. By the time i could even generate an attack, Giyuu was able to decapitate one of it's hand. 

  It didn't take long for me to find out that it's strong point was its legs. I ran straight towards the demon and made a simple but quick attack. Since it dodged itself in time, the blade only pierced through its neck halfway. Unfortunately the wound healed itself quickly. After my attempt, i found myself with an attack right to my stomach. Out of instinct, i blocked its leg with the nichirin blade just in time before my stomach literally turns into a pancake. I strained and used all my strength to stop the attack, but tanjirou got hit and crashed towards me. We both were sent flying to the edge but i was able to grip onto the board and catch tanjirou in time.

  "Y/N!!" Giyuu shouted, losing his focus on the demon. He was launched to the other side of the platform, leaving all three of us trying to get back on our feet. The demon walked towards where i was with tanjirou holding onto my hand.

  "you must be y/n. the most talked among us demons. Finally nice to meet you," it held out its hand while giving an annoying grin that i wished i could rip it off its face. "Oh i forgot. You cant. too bad if you were to slip off this edge. thats a pretty long drop. I'm akaza."

  "what an ugly name," i managed to spit out. i can feel my vein forcing itself to pop after sill holding onto tanjirou and myself.

  "what? how rude," akaza smiled and lifted up its leg ready to send me and tanjirou off. Giyuu was still knocked out cold, and it hurt to see him like that. Before akaza could even strike, i used all force and lunged tanjirou back onto the platform. wasting no time, Tanjirou made a powerful attack. I took this opportunity to climb back onto the platform. I ran to Giyuu's side, slapping him twice, and let out a sigh after seeing him open his eyes.

  "Giyuu, are you ok?" I asked worriedly an embraced him into a hug.

  "Nice movement," akaza spoke, "let me praise you. I'm glad kyoujurou died that night." 

  My ears perked up at the name of rengoku. 

  "Don't you dare talk shit about rengoku-san you ass," Tanjirou spat out, clearly pissed off.

  "why though? I'm praising you all here right now. I hate weaklings, so i usually spit on them. You're misunderstanding something here. weaklings makes me sick."

  "All you're saying are bullshit. babies are the weakest, so they often need someone to protect them. You were once a baby akaza. Someone had protected you, that's how you're still alive right now," Tanjirou solemn face showed it all, "the strong should protect the weak, so that the weak can become strong. That's the law of nature."

  Apon hearing that, akaza quickly moves behind tanjirou aiming to knock him out cold. Akaza was about to form an attack, but i was quick to get between them. I blocked the demon's attack just in time before a punch can hit tanjirou.

  "I usually kinda dislike babies, but tanjirou is right. So for the love of god, please just leave us alone," I said while giving the demon a teasing look to tick him off. Akaza retracted and made a jump back to his former spot.

  "The both of you are really unpleasant. Especially you y/n. You cocky bitch, know your place," Akaza states agitated, "WILLOW OF A THOUSAND FLASHES!" Akaza sent a giant attack to the both of us. Thankfully, we were able to dodge in time.

  hes so fast!!!

Before i could even calculate where his figure was, 2 painful attack came crashing on me. I felt punches in every part of my body, covered in pain. Finishing off his last punch, i took out my nichirin and was ready to stab a bitch. Akaza's glare pierced through my skull, and he lunged himself with his fist ready to form another attack. I was quick and was able to stab the blade right through his left shoulder. His punch however barely missed my head. Before i could even blink, he disappeared and switched to where Tanjirou was. I fell and landed harshly on the wooden board, blood being coughed out. My lungs were burning and i was trying my best to control my breathing. 

  I watched as tanjirou ended up switching his techniques to a headbutt that sent akaza off. 

  "what a classic," I managed to let out a light chuckle. Tanjirou finally was able to slice off both the demon's hand in the process after dodging his kick.

  I tried to get up, but the punches through my leg really hurted. It was in the brink of breaking.

  I felt a hand on my shoulder, softly squeezing. It turned to be Giyuu and he kneeled in front of my figure with his usual warm smile. "Sorry i was knocked. I'm glad you're still ok darling."

  My eyes widened and i swear i can feel my cheeks burning more than my lungs. His short sentence shot me to cloud nine as butterflies erupted in my stomach. I could even kiss him right now and still give zero shit about akaza. Loss in words, i just watched as giyuu got up and complain how his back hurt. Giyuu is pissed, and that's hot.
