"Inosuke! We have to pay attention to the three cars ahead!" Tanjiro yelled as the three of you ran to the front. "I know! I found the key to this master! It's up ahead!" you all heard Inosuke yelled from the roof.
You and Tanjiro climbed up on the train to see Inosuke slicing open a compartment. "G-get out!" The conductor exclaimed. "The demon's neck!" Inosuke yelled as he raised his blades, only to see many of the demon's hands heading straight towards him. "Too many hands! Bad!" Inosuke exclaimed as the hands held him in place.
"Ice Breathing. Third form: Wheel of Ice!" You said as you sliced all of the arms and helped Inosuke. "Inosuke-kun! Are you okay?" you asked. "Y-yeah." Inosuke replied.
You looked down at the ground and saw a snowflake forming on the floor. Your eyes widened as you inspected the mark. 'It's directly below here.' You thought as you turned to look at your companions.
"Tanjiro-kun, Inosuke-kun, the demon's neck is under here!" you informed. "Don't order me around! I'm your boss!" Inosuke exclaimed. "Is that so? Sorry!" you replied with a sweat drop.
Tanjiro and Inosuke sliced down the ground. The bone of the demon's neck was seen as you prepared to slice it but the demon regenerated the wound. "Inosuke! (Y/N)-san! We're going to continuously attack with our breathing forms! We have to cut the flesh then the bone!" Tanjiro explained.
You and Inosuke nodded as the three of you dashed towards the compartment only to be stopped by the demon's Blood Demon Art. You saw all the eyes staring at you as you fell asleep. You woke up only to be put into sleep again.
'Avoid his eyes, (Y/N). You can defeat him by following the ribbon.'
You heard Yoriichi's voice as you woke up again but this time, your eyes were closed. You took a deep breath and focused on your surroundings. You saw a ribbon floating towards you as you immediately grabbed it. You noticed snowflakes appearing around you as you began to strike it down.
Tanjiro and Inosuke watched in awe as you take down the Blood Demon Arts with your eyes closed. 'Amazing... (Y/N)-san became stronger and faster since the last time we've seen each other.' Tanjiro thought as he noticed the conductor running towards you, a weapon in his hand as he prepared to stab you in the back.
"(Y/N)-san! Watch out!" you heard Tanjiro yell as you felt a presence behind you. You moved to the side and grabbed someone's arm as you flipped them over you. You opened your eyes to see it was the conductor, the air was knocked out of him as he passed out on the ground. 'Oops...' you thought as you looked around to see there were no more eyes.
"You okay, (Y/N)-san?" Tanjiro asked as he looked at the passed out conductor. "Yeah, I'm fine." you replied. Tanjiro grabbed the conductor's arm and pulled him away from the area. "Why bother with that bastard? He almost stabbed, (Misp/N)!" Inosuke yelled. "No, it's okay. We can't let him die." you replied as you watched Tanjiro place the conductor on a more safer area.
"Hurry up and cut the demon's neck! We can't hold out for much longer!" Inosuke said as he struck down one of the demon's hands. "Yeah, let's hurry!" Tanjiro replied.
The train began to shake as the three of you saw a group of hands coming down towards your group. The three of you attacked and dodged the hands as you ran around the compartment. "(Y/N)-san! We'll handle the hands! You have to cut down the neck!" Tanjiro exclaimed as he sliced down the hand that was about to attack you.
You dodged one of the hands and jumped on top of it. Another hand was about to grab you as you jumped in the air. You prepared your blade and took a deep breath. 'Ice Breathing. First form: Ice Slash!' you thought as you raised your sword, your blade began to get covered in ice, as you sliced down the neck.
You all heard screams echoing through the train as the train itself shook rapidly. "The train is going to roll over, Inosuke! (Y/N)-san! We have to protect the passengers!" Tanjiro exclaimed as the three of you flew in the air when the train rolled over and got destroyed.
You landed on the ground and rolled a few feet away. You let out a groan as you felt pain all over your body. 'I can't rest yet.... I have to save the others....' you thought as you slowly stand up.
"(Misp/N)! Are you okay?" you heard Inosuke yell as he ran towards you. "Inosuke-kun?" you asked. "The demon's body is too elastic and became a meat pad! But we're saved! Are you okay? You looked beat up!" Inosuke exclaimed as he shook you.
"I'm fine. Are you and Tanjiro-kun okay?" you asked as you patted Inosuke on the shoulder. "The Lord is full of vitality, not even a small cold! Santaro lost his leg!" Inosuke answered as you looked at him in disbelief. "What?! What do you mean Tanjiro-kun lost his leg?!" you shouted in worry.
"Huh? Oh! He sprained his ankle! I remember!" Inosuke replied as you let out a sigh of relief. "We have to save the other passengers. I hope no one is injured." you said as you recalled the conductor. "Near the demon's neck, there was a conductor... where is he?" you asked as you and Inosuke began to walk to find the others.
"I think it's best that guy died!" Inosuke exclaimed as you narrowed your eyes at him. "Inosuke-kun. That's not very good at all." you said.
"Let's hurry up and find the others. We have to help the passengers as well." you exclaimed as you felt a strong presence up ahead. "Inosuke-kun... can you sense that?" you asked as you turned to look at Inosuke. "It feels strong and powerful! Let's go (Misp/N)!" Inosuke replied as he ran and pulled you along with him.
---------------
You and Inosuke saw Tanjiro as you both made your way towards him. "Tanjiro-kun!" you called. "(Y/N)-san!" Tanjiro exclaimed as he looked at you with tears forming in his eyes.
"What's wrong? Are you all right?" you asked in worry. "I'm fine but Rengoku-san..... he's fighting Upper Moon 3." Tanjiro answered as you followed his gaze to see Rengoku fighting a male with pink hair. You squinted your eyes to see that it was a demon, an Upper Moon.
You noticed Rengoku breathing heavily as his blood dripped on the ground. 'He's heavily injured. We have to get him out of there.' you thought. "Don't die, Kyojuro. Keep fighting with me." Upper Moon 3 exclaimed as his wounds regenerated.
"Look at yourself. Your left eye is completely ruined and your ribs are almost shattered. Internal organs are also damaged. Usually those injuries are impossible to recover from. But if you are a demon, those injuries can be recovered at a glance." The demon stated.
"I will perform my duty! Everyone here! None of them will die!" Rengoku exclaimed. You saw the demon about to attack Rengoku as your body moved by its own.
You moved Rengoku out of the way and took the blow instead. Dust flew around everywhere as everyone covered their eyes. The dust settled down as Tanjiro, Rengoku and Inosuke's eyes widened.
You saw Upper Moon 3's eyes widened in shock while he stared at you. His arm pierced through your stomach as your blade managed to slice his other arm off.
"(Y/N)-san / (Misp/N) / (Y/N)!" you heard your three companions yell as you coughed out blood.
The demon took in your appearance as a look of horror appeared on his face. '(H/C) hair and a snowflake haori.... Is she the girl Kokushibo-san was talking about?' the demon thought as he sensed another presence coming his way.
You saw a blade sliced off the demon's arm that pierced you as you felt someone grab you.
"I knew something bad will happen." you heard a familiar voice stated.
Tanjiro, Inosuke and Rengoku looked at the demon that was holding you in his arms. "Michi-nii?" you called out as blood dripped down from your mouth. "Akaza...." Kokushibo stated as you felt an intimidating aura around your older brother.
The demon known as Akaza looked at Kokushibo with wide eyes while his arms regenerated. "Kokushibo-san! I didn't mean to!" Akaza exclaimed as he slowly walked back and turned to run away into the forest.
Kokushibo gently placed you down on the ground and examined you. "I can't remove the arm, you'll bleed even more and possibly die. Try to use Total Concentration Breathing and hang on." Kokushibo stated as he looked at you slowly nodding.
"(Y/N)-chan!" you all heard someone called out as you turned to see Douma running with Rui.
"Douma-san! Rui! Stay back!" Tanjiro exclaimed as Rengoku and Inosuke readied their blades. "Wait! He's not our enemy!" Rui said as he stopped Rengoku from moving forward.
"(Y/N)-chan!" Douma exclaimed in panic as he looked at your bleeding state. Your eyes were becoming heavy as you struggled to keep it open. "Douma-kun...... help Rengoku-san..... and the..... others too..." you muttered out.
"Hang on, (Y/N)-chan! I'll heal you, please stay awake!" Douma pleaded as he placed his hands over your wound and began to heal. You winced and groaned in pain when Kokushibo removed the arm from your stomach. "Sorry about that. Stay awake, (Y/N)." Kokushibo said as he wrapped your haori on your stomach to stop your bleeding.
Your vision began to blur as you felt the pain in your wound slowly fading. The last thing you heard were Kokushibo and Douma's voices calling your name as you fell unconscious.
