⋆(Y/N) Pov⋆
We were walking through the town, Tanjiro carrying the new box with Nezuko on his back. Sensei gave it to him to carry her with us. And we were finally able to wear our new uniforms! I really like the design. It's easy to move in, and super comfy!
Over my uniform, just like Tanjiro, I wear a Haori. It's still a bit big on me, since I made it myself. It consists of two separate Haoris. One is (f/c) colored with a (d/c) (design choice) on it, while the other half is the simple, red Haori from big bro Sabito. Big brother has the other half, so I think it fits. We always have him with us now.
I smiled at Tanjiro as he said: "So many new smells. I don't know what's what." We were talking to each other about anything and everything, until I bumped into someone. I quickly bowed down, saying: "I'm so sorry." But the man I bumped into merely glanced at me before continuing his way, a troubled expression on his face. I looked over at Tanjiro, shrugging.
"Kazumi looks devastated..." "He was right beside Satoko when she was taken." said some women from next to us, gaining our attention. "It's so unsettling that this happens every night." "Yeah, I hate this..." "Always after nightfall, young girls are going to get abducted again."
I looked back at the man, then at Tanjiro. He was quicker than me and called out to the man. "Kazumi! I would like to inquire about the specifics of this situation. May I?" He stared at us for a moment, clearly unsure of whether or not to trust us just yet.
As we reached a certain spot, Kazumi said: "Satoko was right here when she disappeared. You might not believe me-" "I believe you!" said Tanjiro, cutting the male off. I nodded, adding: "Me, too." "We believe what you've said. We believe!"
With that, Tanjiro dropped to his knees, sniffing the ground like a dog would. I looked around a little, trying to find a hint of a Demon being here. Suddenly, Tanjiro jumped up, dashing off. "Why did you suddenly...?!" asked Kazumi, surprised at our quick acting. Tanjiro yelled: "The scent has gotten stronger! The demon has appeared!" Without missing another second, I ran after him, quickly catching up.

I landed on the ground, with (Y/N) next to me. Sniffing the air once more, I noted: "Here! The demons are here right now! There are two scents. The scent of a demon and a human woman." We both looked around, until (Y/N) pointed to the ground a bit away from us, saying: "There. The ground looks different there."
I looked down, noticing that the scent was the strongest there. Unsheathing my sword, I rammed it into the ground. Suddenly, we heard a loud screech. I pulled my sword back out, watching as black mud appeared on the ground. A woman slowly appeared through the mud. I gasped as I pulled her out of it, jumping back immediately.
(Y/N) quickly drew her sword, taking her fighting stance in front of me and the woman, protecting us. There, in that black mud, was the demon. "A caster demon, huh?" stated (Y/N), eyeing it. Caster demon... Those are the ones that can use the Blood Demon Art. I quickly asked: "Where did you take all of the abducted women? I have two more questions-"
Before I could continue, the demon made a shrill, high noise, catching us off-guard. With that, he sunk into the mud again. "Wait!" called (Y/N) out, already jumping after him. "(Y/N), don't!" I tried, but was too late. She was already gone, together with the demon.
My eyes widened as I turned towards Kazumi, saying: "Kazumi-san, please hold her and stay by my side! As long as you are within my range, I will be able to protect you both." He did so and I quickly drew my sword, sniffing the air. My eyes widened once more as I dropped my arms, leaving them hanging at my sides.
I can't... pick up her scent. I don't know where she is. I began to panic as I started to slam holes into the ground with my sword, desperately trying to safe her. "(Y/N)... (Y/N)! Answer me!" I yelled, but of course, I got no answer. Just then, I was able to smell the faint scent of the demon. I decided to follow it. And-
It's here! Breath of water, Fifth Style... Suddenly, not one, but three of those demons appeared from the ground. I was surprised, but focused. Don't panic. I can take them all on! I have to safe (Y/N)!
Eight Style, Waterfall jar! But... My strike was too shallow! None of them struck the vitals of the demons! Because I changed styles in the middle of the blow. I watched as they sunk back into the ground. I tightened my grip on my sword, saying: "Give (Y/N) back!"
"Ah!" I turned to see one of the demons attacking Kazumi. Full focus. Breath of Water, Second Style, Water Wheel! I hit the demon, but it didn't do much damage. Still too shallow! I continued to attack, until he eventually backed up.
I can't pursue them too far. I need to protect Kazumi and that woman as well, so I can't just swing my sword carelessly. But (Y/N) is- My thoughts were interrupted as the demon yelled: "You bastard!" I paused, staring at it as it continued.
"Stop getting in my way! That woman will go stale! That woman is already 16 now, if I don't eat her quickly, she's going to lose that freshness!" Suddenly, another demon popped out of the ground behind me, saying: "Don't fret, my duplicate. Oh, well, in nights such as these, I've already eaten many 16 year old girls from this town. The meat on every single one of them was delicious. I've already had my fill."
"Well, I'm still not satisfied! I want to eat more!" said the other one. "You can still eat that girl we caught just now. But I want a piece of her, too." "I want to eat her alone! She smells so tasty and... My mouth is already watering just thinking about her!"
My eyes widened at that. That means that they haven't eaten (Y/N) yet! I can still save her! "You monster... That girl you kidnapped yesterday night... Give Satoko back to me immediately!" screamed Kazumi. I added: "And (Y/N), too!"
The Demon in front of me opened his jacket, showing what he had inside its pockets. "Satoko? (Y/N)? Who are you talking about? If those girl's hairpins are in this collection, then that means I've already eaten them."
