(y/n)'s pov

"did you really pop that ball with a serve?!?!?" kuroo was looking at the sad volleyball, and i nervously came over.

awkwardly laughing, i scratched my head, "ah, haha... i guess? sorry! i didn't mean to!"

bokuto had stars in his eyes, "teach me how you got so strong!! even i don't make volleyballs deflate!"

they kept interrogating me, but suddenly, kenji flew into the room and landed on my arm. the boys immediately backed off, "is that a crow?!?!?"

i looked at the crow, quietly muttering a soft, "what's wrong?" when he jumped off my arm and landed on my umbrella. understanding what he meant, i grabbed it, turning back to the players, "sorry! i have to go!! i'm staying at a friends house, so please tell kiyoko and hito for me, tsuki!"

not waiting for his response, i ran out, kenji with me on my arm. once we were out of the school, he explained the situation, "rengoku kyojuro is fighting upper moon three!! head south!! head south!!"

the bird jumped off my arm and led the way, i sprinted after, going full speed. worry filled my being, a bad feeling in the air. time passed by, and soon enough, i saw the fight.

behind them, a train was derailed, but it looked like they were alright.

tanjiro, inosuke, and zenitsu were watching the fight, all of them with their own injuries that prevented them from stepping in.

i jumped in, striking the demon, first style : nimbus slash. a solid strike, mixing water and wind breathing, i sliced off the demons arms. "(y/n)?"

he regenerated his limbs, turning to me, "oh? another hashira? sorry, but i don't kill women."

ignoring his words, i slipped into the see through world, clearly seeing his movements to attack the flame hashira again.

the demon smirked at rengoku, "blood demon art : annihilation"

before he could strike, i moved, third style : altocumulus barrage. this time, striking seven times, i cut off his arms and made large gashes in his torso and legs. as he regenerated, i grabbed the flame pillar and put him down with tanjiro, "take care of him. make sure he doesn't bleed out, for me, jiro."

i walked back into the field, facing the demon who went back into a fighting stance, "i don't usually fight women... but i'll make an exception for you. do you want to be a demon, or will you refuse my offer and die like your fellow hashira?"

clenching my sword, i scowled at the demon, "i would rather kill myself than become a demon."

he laughed, "i'm akaza. upper demon three. i'd like to know the name of the one who made me change my rule for them!"

"(l/n) (y/n). cloud hashira." i glanced at the sky, only a few minutes til the sun would come up. if he managed to hurt rengoku that badly, it would be best to wait for the sun to come up.

"blood demon art : compass needle" he started to act, but was bewildered at what he sensed. i smirked, since i was in the see through world, i knew it would be almost impossible to sense my intentions.

i jumped past him, turning halfway to attack fourth style : stratus slice. aiming for his neck, i swung my blade in one strong, horizontal line. he turned slightly to see me and ducked just in time, putting his arm to block his face, which i cut in half.
