It's been a few months already since the death of Hishiro [Y/N] and everyone has been more distant lately than usual those past few months.They weren't too happy with her death since [Y/N] was important to them.

The real question was where is Hishiro [Y/N] right now?

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━"Hello?"

"Is there anyone there?"

No responses except only a familiar [H/C] haired girl was walking around the dark place she was in which had nothing.Absolutely nothing at all there wasn't any light or objects around the place she was in except her and only her.

She sighed but then her name was suddenly called out by someone behind her "[Y/N]"this made her eyes widen and turn around to see a woman who was a bit tall but not too tall or too short and had black hair that was long with white tips at the end and her eyes were light blue.

I noticed that she was wearing a demon slayer uniform just like mine and soon enough I figured out who she was.Katsumi Tsukino the Former Ghosts Hashira just like what my cousin Asuna said when she came over that time.

"..Tsukino-san?"

"Yes..that's me"

"Where are we?"

"Were inside your world [Y/N],do you not recognize your own place?"

"My world? my place?"

"Did you not remember when you were in deep sleep back when you were still alive inside the train?"

Katsumi had asked her this question while the only thing that came to [Y/N] mind were blood,tears,and her dying.She shook her head and closed her eyes sighing "I am dead aren't I"

Katsumi nodded at this before opening her mouth to speak again "Hishiro [Y/N] do you know why you are here instead of some place else?"

"No..not that I know of"

"This is your punishment of taking the innocence lives of the humans"

[Y/N] wasn't surprised by this instead she sighed and sat down while Katsumi also sat down in front of her looking at her.

"So I'm staying here for eternity life?"

"No..not forever"

"Then when will I be able to leave this place?"

"Patience takes time..for now let's talk about something else"

[Y/N] did wondered how exactly did Katsumi Tsukino die and so she was about to find out.

"Then tell me about your life,if your alright with it"

"Oh..of course"

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⌜ The following Event happened when Katsumi Tsukino was still alive⌟

[Katsumi] P.O.V

I was just walking down the trail of path towards my home and walked inside to see my older sister Kiyoko sitting down on the platform cleaning her blade.

"Oneesan,how was your day?" I asked while she turned her head to face me with a smile on her face "I been doing well today imouto how about you?" 

"I been doing fine as well!"

I loved my sister and so did others she is the Ghosts hashira ever since our mother died,but I'm glad that I still have my sister with me.She's always there for me and I'm also a demon slayer rank Kinoe and I also use the same breathing technique as her.

As a matter of fact I'm her tsuguko also though I declined the offer even though she insisted and I couldn't say no to that so I agreed.I loved seeing my sister happy cause if she's happy then I'm happy.

I always thought that nothing would go wrong but I was wrong at that point.

She died.

Under the hands of a demon,a strong demon.

"Oneesan!! Please tell me!! Who did this to you!" I cried as I asked her who did this to her,oh how my angered had risen up so much from this.I couldn't lose another one first my mother and my sister the only person I had left at this point.

"Oneesan!"

"Katsumi..I'm sorry..please forgive me" Kiyoko then held her younger sister's hand while her other hand was on Katsumi's cheek.

"I was suppose to protect you and stay with you..but instead..I failed"

"Oneesan!! That doesn't matter! Just please don't go!! I don't want to be alone!"

"Katsumi..please forgive me..once again"

With that,my older sister had died in my arms with blood spilling from her mouth and soon enough by the time the kakushis had arrived she was long gone.I never cried so much more in my life ever since her death.

Soon enough I became the new Ghosts Hashira taking in her place,but I changed quite a bit my hair was longer than before and I was wearing my sisters haori.My eyes that were full of brightness showed nothing except dullness and coldness towards others.

I would kill the demons without hesitation fast and go on with my life being lonely until I met her  Kanae Kocho.

She was the older sister of Shinobu Kocho and then the moment the both of us had met each other for the first time she looked at me while smiling but that smile of hers..it was so familiar.I had a vision of my older sisters smile and I sighed before walking away from her not wanting to remember the horrible past.

"Katsumi-chan!" someone called out my name making me turn around to see both of the Kocho's sister's.

"Oh...Kanae-san..Shinobu is there anything you both need?"

"Well we were wondering if you could come with us!"

"..I suppose so"

The three of us had went walking around until a young girl had caught both me and Kanae's attention making us three girls walk over to her.

"Excuse me,do you have a minute?" Kanae asked the man who seemed to be in control  of the young girl.

"Hello,there.Nice to meet you.My name is Kanae Kocho and this Katsumi Tsukino,what's your name?"

The man then just looked at Kanae "She's got no name,all right? Her parents never gave her one"

Then soon enough his tone got louder "If you wanna talk to this kid,pay up!" he yelled but then Katsumi stepped beside Kanae glaring at him.

"Excuse me sir,but your tone of voice is rather..annoying" I said as he seemed to sweat drop then Shinobu stepped beside me also and looked at the young girl and her sister before looking back at the man "All right,then we'll purchase her" 

"Would this be enough?" Shinobu asked before throwing the money in the air and soon I grabbed both Kanae's and Shinobu's hand running away from the man and the crowd with the young girl with us.

"Are you sure about this?"

"It's fine!"

"Please excuse us!"

Shinobu was cleaning the young girl hair and soon enough she got dressed,but there was a problem."Sister! Sister! Sister,this child is hopeless!" 

Kanae and Katsumi were both sitting down chatting until Shinobu had came with the young girl"Now,now don't be like that,okay? I just love that smile of yours,Shinobu" Kanae told Shinobu but instead Shinobu just got a irk mark.

"But we can't do anything with a kid who can't even think for herself! It's dangerous!"

Katsumi then got up walking towards the young girl who was staring at her "Here..whenever you're on your own,you can decide by flipping this coin..alright Kanao?" Katsumi told the young girl as she was holding a coin but soon handed it to the young girl.

"As long as it's given a chance"

"A person's soul will open up,so don't worry and plus..when you fall in love with someone someday,you'll change too Kanao.." Katsumi said and gave Kanao a soft pat on her head while smiling a bit which actually made Kanao smile also.

Both Kanae and Shinobu didn't expect Kanao to smile these days but now she did and she was going to keep getting better.

Soon enough I grew feelings for Kanae even though I never showed my feelings towards anyone and as I was heading towards the butterfly estate I was stopped by someone.It was Akemi who was a demon slayer rank kinoe,sometimes we both had missions together or would run into each other sometimes.

"K-katsumi-chan..I need to tell you something.."

"..That is?"

"I-..I really like you! Katsumi-chan!!"

This made me sigh while she looked down with her head hanging low while I looked down at her "Akemi..I'm sorry but I don't feel the same thing towards you instead I like someone else and I hope that you'll find someone better in the future" I said but then I sighed and was about to walk away until she spoke again.

"Is it Kanae-san?"

"..what?"

"It's Kanae-san isn't it?"

"..."

"So it is huh..well I support you!"

"..I-..thank you"

Little did I know that both Kanae and Shinobu were listening and watching the whole scene this whole time meaning kanae knows that Katsumi liked her.

After a few while Kanao had sat next to Katsumi while Kanae and Shinobu sat with each other in front of Katsumi and Kanao with their meals on the table.

"Katsumi-san?" Shinobu called out to her as Katsumi hummed in response while looking at her "I heard that you liked someone" she said making Katsumi stop eating her rice and placed it down.

"Pardon?"

"Do you like someone?"

"..I do"

"Who is it?"

Kanae had started getting nervous all of a sudden while Katsumi sighed and looked at Kanae then back at Shinobu "..Kanae..your sister"

"I knew it!"

"Of course you did"

"Huh?"

"I know that the both of you were there when the girl confessed to me and heard everything.."

"Oh-"

Kanae had looked down with her head hanging low making katsumi confuse at this"Kanae..if you don't feel the same thing then I'm fine with that..real-"

"No it's not that..it's..aren't you annoyed by me?"

This made Katsumi smile and then she got up sitting in front of Kanae "Don't worry,your never annoying to me" I said and gave her a peck on her forehead "I should get going now,goodnight you three" I said before leaving their estate.

After a few days Kanae and I had started dating and our relationship had grew with one another and I just wished that I told her how much I loved her before I left to my mission.Who knew that this day was when I was going to die.

I stepped inside the room to see a tall demon with six eyes and his eyes had read 'upper one'I glared at him with anger rushing through inside me and soon enough the demon had spoken "That glare your giving me..is the same glare that someone used on..me"  he then pointed towards my haori "That is the haori of the Ghosts hashira..I killed"

My eyes had widened at this "Oh! so your the one who killed her..my sister..Kiyoko Tsukino"

If only I was able to see her precious face one last time I thought as I layed on the ground with blood spilling from my mouth and a sword being struck into my stomach.soon enough my cousin Asuna had arrived and quickly ran to me holding onto my hand while tears were escaping her eyes.

"Katsumi! Don't go yet! please!"

"Asuna.."

"Please Katsumi! Kanae needs you!"

"..I'm sorry..but please tell Kanae that I love her and always will.."

And with that..I died in Asuna arms while smiling still and tears were escaping my eyes and lord knows how much I wanted to stay,but my time had came.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⌜ Back to the present ⌟

"And so that is my story"

"I'm sorry to hear that.."

"It's alright..but now"

Katsumi then got up and held out her arm waiting for [Y/N] to take it and so [Y/N] did,she took ahold of her hand also getting up.

"Hishiro [Y/N],do you wish to go back into the living world?"

"I-.." [Y/N] couldn't help but have flashbacks of her old friends and just smiled at the thought of that before speaking again "yes..I do"

"Very well then..it was a pleasure to meet you Hishiro [Y/N] and until we meet again!" Katsumi smiled and [Y/N] just smiled back and soon Katsumi felt herself being hugged by [Y/N] which made her hug her back "I'm going to miss you kiddo..now go"

With that [Y/N] found herself by the butterfly estate and she looked at her hands to see that she was a holding a kitsune mask so she put it on and then look around her surroundings once again.'Katsumi-san..thank you' she thought before walking around the back yard and heard loud yelling and knew that there was a ruckus going on already.

"Let me go! I.. I said.."

"you're too nosiy.so shut up"

"Stop!please!"

"Please let her go!"

"K-Kanao! Kanao! Kanao!"

Then kanao had run towards Uzui who seemed to be carrying Aoi and the small young girl and tried pulling Aoi and the girl out of his grip."Kanao.."

"Miss Kanao.."

"Don't be such a bore.you got orders earlier didn't you?"

"..."

"Say something! you stuck up pig!"

Then Tanjiro had arrived at the scene yelling at Uzui who was carrying Aoi and the young girl too "What're you doing to those girls?! Let them go!"

"Kidnapper! Help us!"

"You little brat!"

"KYAAAH!"

As Tanjiro ran towards Uzui jumping up in the air about to headbutt him he missed but caught the young girl landing on the floor."Are you alright?!"

"Yeah!"

"Idiot,I am Tengen Uzui,A Former Ninja.I'm well known in that world.Do you think I'd let you hit me with your snotty headbutt?!"

"Let go of Aoi and Naho,you kidnapper!"

"Yeah!Yeah!"

"What's the big idea?!"

"Pervert!!"

"Why you..grrr! you talkin to me?grr! I'm your superior officer! I'm a hashira you jerk!"

"Is that how a hashira should act though?" A sudden voiced said making everyone stop talking and turn their attention towards the voice of who said that.As they all turned their head to see a familiar [H/C] haired girl with a kitsune mask on she was wearing a demon slayer uniform and had a haori that was also familiar.

They all thought that her voice was familiar too but too familiar well as a matter of fact the figure who was standing before them was very familiar."And who are you?!"

As the figure who stood in front of them had their hand on the mask they slowly took it off revealing their [E/C] eyes and their [H/C] hair was flowing along with the winds.

They couldn't believe it at all,it was Hishiro [Y/N].Even Uzui had his eyes widened while Tanjiro stood there shocked not being able to move at all.

"[Y-Y/N]-san? Is that..really you?"

"..I don't know,you tell me"

Then she was suddenly hugged by him while tears were dropping to the ground and soon Uzui had jumped down to the ground walking towards [Y/N] who hugged Tanjiro back while giving him a head pat.

"..How are you alive?" Uzui asked and she sighed before looking at him "Let's just say..I had another chance"

They held a meeting for this and soon enough Oyakata-sama had stood in front of the pillars with his daughters by his side."My children,it is wonderful to have you all here and I have some wonderful news to share"

"What may that be,Oyakata-sama?" Shinobu asked with her usual smile on and soon enough [Y/N] had walked out of the shadow with her kitsune mask on.She sighed and placed her hand on her mask taking it off showing her face.

"It seems that Hishiro [Y/N],is back from the dead"

The pillars eyes had widened at this except Uzui who already knew and she got down standing right in front of them all.She opened her mouth to speak but was caught in a hug by Mitsuri who already cried as soon as she saw her.

"[Y/N]-chan!"

"..I'm sorry"

Soon enough after a couple of minutes of staying with them [Y/N] decided to go and be with Tanjiro for a bit after what happened.

"Tanjiro?"

"[Y/N]-san!"

As he made his way towards you he was about to fall since he is kinda clumsy,but didn't hit the ground since he was caught by [Y/N].When he stood up he just smiled while [Y/N] gave him a head pat.Then Zenitsu and Inosuke had also came but then Uzui arrived looking at us before speaking.

"The four of you,come with me"

"Where are we going?"

"The flashiest place in Japan,steeped lust and avarice.It's an entertainment district where demons dwell"

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━"All right...I am a god! you guys are trash! well..except for [Y/N],but anyways first,get that into your heads! Drill it in there! If I say act like a dog,you act like a dog! If I say be a monkey,act like a monkey!! First and foremost,you must please me! Bow down and scrape and avert your eyes! you toadies are mine! Body and Soul! I'll say it again.. I am a God!"

[Y/N] just stood there confused by everything he just as the Kamaboko squad stood there dumbfounded at Uzui.Then Tanjiro raised his hand up "What exactly are you the God of?'

"Good question,You've got promise.I'm the God of glam and flash..The God of Festivals!"

Then Inosuke had spoke "I'm the God of the Mountain.Greetings Gods of Festivals"

Then Uzui just looked at him like confused "What're you talking about? You're weird"

"Along the way to the Hanamachi.There is a wisteria house.We'll make our preparations there.Follow me"

Then when he turned around [Y/N] followed behind him and then the both of disappeared into the thin air leaving the three boys behind.

"Hey! There gone! AAH!"

"There fast! There so far away they both look like a sesame seed!"

"Behold the power of the Festival God!"

"Naw,He's just the Hashira Tengen Uzui"

"Quit chatting!we have to follow them!"

At a house with wisteria flowers in it's crest.Members of the demon slayer corps receive assistance at no charge.

[Y/N] sat beside Uzui while looking at Tanjiro,Inosuke,and Zenitsu that were sitting down in front of them also."Once in the entertainment district,I'll gather information on the demon,while you..keep your eyes open for a woman that I can marry"

Inosuke just took off his mask eating the meals with his bare hands while Tanjiro was drinking,but Zenitsu was confused at this.

"That's absurd!"

"Huh?"

"Stop messing around! The demon slayer corps isn't a matchmaking service!"

"huh? Listen you're wrong-"

"No,you listen to me! I get that a weirdo like you must have a lot of trouble with the ladies..but..don't use members of the corps to find yourself a wife!"

"You idiot! My wives snuck into this entertainment district and have been gathering information about the demon here! I'm going because their communications suddenly stopped!"

"Is that the weird Fantasy you tell yourself?"

"You snot nosed brat!"

Then Uzui had thrown a stack of letters at him while [Y/N] sweat dropped at what was going on "Here! These are the letters they sent by crow!"

"GYAAH!"

Tanjiro had picked them up with his eyes widened a bit while Inosuke just kept eating "So many! she must write very quickly"

"Dolt!-" he was cut off when [Y/N] sighed and cut him off from saying another word "Uzui,that's enough and Zenitsu calm down.Uzui-san has three wives"

Then Zenitsu had freaked out from what you told him "Three..wives..? Th-THREE?! Y-YOU?! HOW CAN YOU HAVE THREE  WIVES? GIMME A BREAK"

He was punched by Uzui in his stomach "Ungh!" "You got a problem with that?"

Then Tanjiro looked at Uzui with a questioned face "Um..in these letters..they keep telling you not to stand out when you arrive.What are we gonna do?"

"Use disguises,of course.It's boring and plain but..I have to get you in there for your mission,I thought an entertainment district would be the perfect place for demons to hide..but when I snuck in as a customer,I couldn't find any leads.But my three wives are outstanding Kunoichis female ninjas.So I sent them in,but not as customers.

We narrowed it down to three establishments..so you'll go there and look for my wives.Suma at house Tokito,Makio at house Ogimoto,and Hinatsuru at house kyogoku" Uzui explained while holding up three fingers "What if your wives are already dead?" Inosuke questioned but was punched by Uzui.

Then a man came in "We brought the things you'll need"

"Thanks" Uzui replied as he had a annoyed face on and Tanjiro was sweat dropping and I just sighed at Inosuke who was on top of Zenitsu.

Yoshiwara..A town of the night,Awash in vanity,desire,love and hate.The Hanamachi entertainment district is,as it's name suggests a specialized section of town.Most of the courtesans here were sold into service due to poverty and debt...so they bear many Hardships.

They now have clothing,food,and shelter..and if they succeed as courtesans,a wealthy man may yet buy their freedom.

An oiran,the highest rank among courtesans,is a special woman..one who has everything,Beauty,Education and Artistry.

An oiran ranks high in status,so it can be difficult to meet one.Men compete with each other in order to gain the attention of an oiran.

"Whoa..those are..some really ugly girls but that one looks very beautiful"The old lady said as she referred to [Y/N] who had some blush on her face and her eyelashes were a bit longer.Her [H/C] hair had shown it's perfect silk,"We could take her"

"I'm sorry but she's not for sale.."

"Then how about the middle one? she looks honest!"

"I'll work hard as I can!" Sumiko said [Tanjiro is Sumiko]

Then Uzui,[Y/N],Zenitsu and Inosuke all went walking outside and Uzui had crossed his arms "you two are truly hopeless! I'll have to sell you to dirt cheap!"

Zenitsu had sighed with an annoyed look on his face "I'm not talking to you!"

"Because I dressed you like a girl? you said you'd do anything I told you"

Then Inosuke had pointed at a crowd "Hey! What's happening over there?"

"Oh..It's an Oiran Dochu. A courtesan procession"

"That's Koinatsu-an oiran from house Tokito"

"What?! That's your wife?! That Goddess is your wife? No way! Are all three of them that beautiful?!"

Then Uzui had punched Zenitsu in the face "That's not my wife! I wrote down their names for you!"

Inosuke stood there watching them argue "you move too slow.In the mountains you'd get killed right away" Inosuke spoke as a old lady had came staring at him.Then [Y/N] had came back and looked at Uzui before facing the old lady "Hey sorry if I came back late..I kinda got lost" [Y/N] said getting the lady's attention.

The old lady had smiled and her eyes had widened when she looked at [Y/N],"My my she is very beautiful..she might be even better than an oiran"

"I'm sorry but she's not for sale"

"Well then,I would like that child" she said as she looked down at Inoko [Inosuke]."House Ogimoto! I'd be grateful for that! take care Inoko!" Uzui said as he waved off Inoko being left with Zenko [Zenitsu].

Then later on Zenko was sold off too and so then Uzui and [Y/N] had left changing back into their uniforms carrying their blades also.As the both of were on the rooftop Uzui just kept thinking 'Nothing unusual today again.For some reason,the demon won't show itself.I have a general bad feeling but I can sense a demon.It must have a way to hide..some skill that lets it seem dull pain.Could the demon that rest here be..an upper rank demon? If so..killing it would be really flashy!'

[Y/N] couldn't help but sense that something was wrong,she knew that someone was going to die tonight,but who?

"Uzui"

"Hm,yes [Y/N]?"

"I have a bad feeling that someone death is arriving soon.."

"Ah! so you also got the feeling!"

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⌜ Two days before Tanjiro and the others arrived ⌟

The upper rank demon who was dressed as a human was sitting down while an old lady had appeared before her.

"you must restrain yourself"

"Whatever do you mean?"

"Our girls are getting injured and running away..and commiting suicide.And you basically bullied that one girl to death warabihime"

"you say such hurtful things,Okami.Why don't you take my side? Don't you see how those girls pester me?"

"...I've looked the other way up until now but..I can't keep defending you lately..you've gone too far"

"Old woman,where should this establishment be without the money and respect I bring to it?"

"..A long time ago..when I was just a child..an old aged teahouse mistress told me a tale.Her memory was failing but she clearly recalled..one particular oiran.An incredible beauty who was incredibly ill-natured.She said she knew this oiran when she was a child,but in her middle years she saw another just like her.Both these oirans had names that ended with "Hime"  and when something displeased them..each one had the same distinctive way of tilting their head..and glaring up from under their brow.J-Just l-like you..?! is it possible..that your not even..human?!"

When Okami the old lady had finished speaking the upper rank demon had her hands on Okami face while the old lady was afraid at the sight in front of her."They say the secret to living a long life..is to keep silent when you see horrible things.That's how everyone around me managed to survive..at least until tonight"

Okami had a knife in her hand about to kill the upper rank but instead it was the other way around.The upper rank had the poor old lady in her embrace glaring down at her with her dreadful eyes staring deep into the lady's eyes.

"But it appears that you,Omitsu..are far more stupid than I gave you credit for.Too bad for you,too bad indeed.you don't have to look so terrified,old woman.As humans age,their flesh grows shriveled and bitter.And I..would never eat anything so filthy and awful.You death will come from a bad fall.Goodbye,Omitsu"

"No-"

Then,as the upper rank who was up in the air with the lady she dropped her making her fall to her death on the ground with blood coming out.The upper rank had landed on top of the roof walking around before going inside a room but her master also known as Muzan was sitting there.

"How are you feeling?"

"Lord Muzan!"

"It appears you've feasted on quite a few humans.you're more powerful than ever before.That's good."

"Yes,Lord!" the upper rank said while bowing down before him "But don't get careless.The longer things go well,The easier it is to slip up"

"Yes sire,I understand"

"The demon slayer corps..someone skilled as a Hashira will soon realize there's a demon at work here.The trouble is,we can barely tell humans apart just by sight unless they're powerful like a hashira.Still,we can distinguish things humans hardly even understand,like blood type,sickness and genes.Daki.."

"yes? yes,Lord Muzan?" the female demoness asked with her head perking up to face her lord who had walked towards her.

"I expect a great deal from you.you are the most beautiful creature there is..and you put seven strong hashira in their graves.From now on,you will be even stronger and crueler.you are a special demon"

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⌜ Ok back to the present ⌟

The three boys Uzui,Tanjiro,and Inosuke were all sitting on top of the roof while Tanjiro and Inosuke were discussing about some few things.

"It's a thing like this! Like this!"

"No..yeah,that's uhm..just wait a second"

"Like this! Do you understand this?!"

"Look,[Y/N] and Zenitsu will be here soon for our reports so.."

"Like this! I know what they are like!"

"Yeah,okay.."

Then [Y/N] had appeared behind Uzui without making any noise at all "Uzui,Zenitsu isn't going to be coming any time soon" she said as she looked down at him "What do you mean Zenitsu isn't coming,[Y/N]-san?" Tanjiro asked while looking at [Y/N] with a confused look on his face.

"I think I've put you guys in real danger.I wanted to help my wives,but that led me to make some bad choices.Now Zenitsu is missing,I haven't heard from him since last night.you three leave the Hanamachi,you're not up to this.If there's an upper-rank demon here,you can't handle it.When someone disappears,we count them as dead.From now on,I'll operate alone"

"No,Uzui! we-!"

"There's no shame in this.To survive means victory.Don't squander this chance" Uzui said before disappearing into the thin air leaving the three of them.

"Wait!"

"Maybe he didn't trust us because we're the lowest rank,except [Y/N] who is already a hashira"

"No.."

"Huh?"

"The both of you aren't in the bottom rank anymore,your both four up from the bottom which means your rank kanoe now" [Y/N] said as she turned around to face the two of them.

"Tanjiro,Inosuke I believe that Zenitsu and Uzui's wives are still stive at this point.I'm counting on you both to rescue them without dying.Is that clear?"

Both Tanjiro and Inosuke had looked at her in awe before nodding at what you had said.

[Y/N] was jumping from roof to roof and walked around for a bit 'If there is a upper rank demon here then..it has to be a female blending in with the rest' she thought but stopped in her tracks when she sensed a strong demon presence close.

very close

She quickly ran towards the presence and jumped inside the open window landing on her feet to see a female demon."Another demon slayer child?" the demon questioned who is also known as Daki.

"How many of you are there?There's that ugly kid with yellow hair..Did a hashira come here too? will one come soon? you seem too weak to be a hashira"Daki told the [H/C] haired girl while [Y/N] [E/C] eyes had turned darker and started to death glare at the demon.

"I have no use for any demon slayer less than a hashira,you know.But..you do have fine silky hair and beautiful skin that matches you well.I'll still kill you though!"

Then Tanjiro had also arrived standing behind [Y/N] "Oh,so another one came too huh?"

"Hey! you let her go!"

Daki veins had started showing and she made an upset face looking at the two of them "Who do you think you're talking too?!"

Suddenly many obi had came out of her back attacking [Y/N] and Tanjiro,but luckily due to [Y/N] fast reflexes and speed she had grabbed Tanjiro hand dodging the attack.Tanjiro couldn't help but look at [Y/N] in awe for saving him.

"There's no doubt that she's a upper rank demon..although she isn't stronger than upper rank three"

Then the demoness had came standing on the window staring down at the both of them "you're still alive?hmm..the girl seems to be fast but are you strong though? besides,your [E/C] eyes are also very beautiful so then I'll pluck them out and eat them.Same goes for the boy too"

"I'm sorry Nezuko,but the shoulder strap broke.I can't fight and carry y-"

"Stay here Tanjiro"

"But [Y/N]-san! Don't you remember last time what happened!"

"I can assure you that this demon is rather weak than upper three"

With that she jumped up in the air glaring at the demon who also jumped up the air "Star Breathing Third Form:Nebula Lapse" [Y/N] had twisted her body fast along with her sword creating consecutive slashes towards the demon and instead of five slashes it was more.

She dodged and dodged her attacks not getting any scratches on her and slashed the part of where it was holding the lady to let her be free from her grasp.

"Your actually quite the beauty but fast and brave,I like you" Daki said as she looked at [Y/N] who stood in front of her with her sword in her hand.

And so the battle had begun.
