(Muichiro pov)
I was looking up a the clouds as I walked with y/n. "Oh pretty!" I snapped out of my thoughts and looked to see
Y/n looking at flowers. "These are really pretty, they remind me of that time with Rengoku where we made flower crowns for each other." I couldn't help but get a little jealous at what she said. 'why does she want to spend more time with him?' I thought. "We have a mission y/n." "Oh right I'm so sorry!" She bowed. "It's all right. It is nice to see you happy." I started to walk. 'Damn it!' I mentally slapped my self as I realised what I said.

(Time skip)

"Is this the place?" Y/n asked. We had arrived at a place in the woods, where it had a house in the middle. "The people said they spotted a demon here, or something, I can't remember. But I drew a map leading to here so that I got the gist of it." We headed inside and saw a man and a boy about our age sitting. "Welcome demon slayers" the man said. "What is the issue?" I asked. "There has been a demon here recently. We used to get a lot of tourist coming here, but people have been coming less lately, and the people here refuse to leave. The demon that lurks around here is said to be a shadow. I don't know why though." "Don't worry sir. We will find that demon tonight."

"Oh thank you young man!" The man hugged me really tight. 'Ugh' I thought as this man is sobbing on me. I heard a giggle next to me, I looked to see who it was and saw y/n covering her mouth with her hands. The man let go of me and wished us good luck.

"That man." I growled. "He wasn't that bad" y/n said. *crash* a noise was came from the west. "What was that?" Y/n asked nervously. "Don't know. Let's check it out." We started running to where the noise came from and saw . . .

(Y/n pov)
'It's him! Why is he here?!' What lied upon us was that demon I fought a few weeks ago.

Black hair, Blue eyes, horns. I could feel my legs shaking at his aura. "Haaaaaaaaah . . ." his mouth was blowing steam as he opened it. A body was lying in front of him as his back was facing us. A man was killed by this demon. His arms was ripped off, yet his eyes were wide open. Bodies were hung from trees around them.

"Hashira, huh?" The demon spoke as he turned to face us. "Ah it's you tweety wings" he said looking at me. " . . . 'tweety wings'?" I asked grossed out. "You two know each other?" Muichiro asked. "We have a history." The demon said. "You know I heard about you from upper two. I got to say. . ." a shadow wrapped around my waist and pulled me to him "you do look like what he described." He grabbed my face covering my mouth. I was about to grab my sword, until his arms got cut off.

"Urg!" He fell back on to the ground. "Eep!" I squeal as someone caught me. I looked up to Muichiro "you alright?" He asked worried. I blushed a little "uh-yeah." "Not bad kid, you you got ahead of yourself" we looked to the demon who re-growed his arms. Muichiro put me down and we grabbed our swords.

"Blood demon art: animal blood: spider!" He grew more arms and grew to about the size of me. "Mist breathing form: low clouds, distant haze!" Muichiro sprung at him with his sword ready to attack his head. "Spider dance!" Blood of thin strips came out of the body's and onto the demons hand. He then manipulated them into attacking Muichiro. "Zoidac Breathing: 8th star: Scorpio!" I thrusted my sword into his arms. Scorpio is a technique that Shinobu helped me with, it takes poison from my body, into my sword, that way when I stab a demon the poison gets into it. Of course I got hi only way to him.

(Gyutoro pov)
'Ggh! This pain!' I felt the poison already flowing in my veins, if I don't kill them now, then it'll be the end of me. "Ahhh!" I started to attack mindlessly at the girl, but she kept dodging. That boy then cut my arms off again, making my blood demon art unactivate. "To think you are almost as powerful as a lower moon, I'm disappointed." The boy stared coldly at me, "why you-!" I re grewed my arms and got in stance mode.

(Muichiro pov)
This guy has almost enough power to be a twelve kizuki, but a lower moon at best. This demon has already met y/n, but not me. I think I have the upper hand of that. I got my sword ready to attack when the demon got into a stance. "Muichiro!" I looked over at y/n, "this demon can create demons from shadows or darkness. Let's be careful." She informed me.

"I see." "Now that you are done talking" he sprung at us "hope you're ready!"

(Y/n pov)
"Zodiac breathing: 14 animal: Ox, p" I pulled out my weird sword and spined it on my hand, making a shield for me and Muichiro. "Ha! This weird sword again? It has two handles!" He yelled punching my sword trying to break it. "Mist breathing: first form: eight-layered mist!" I got down and stopped my sword to get out of the way from Muichiro. 8 slashes were attacking Gyutoro making him fly back into the trees.

"Wow . . . mist breathing is so cool!" I jumped in front of Muichiro. He was taken aback from the sudden jump. "Oh-um- t-thank you" 'why is his face red?' I thought. "Blood demon art: animal blood: poison porcupine!" Porcupine spikes flew everywhere. We tried to dodge them but Muichiro got hit with some "gah!" "Muichiro!" "Hahaha! Just be aware that those spikes are poisonous. So I bet he will die soon--" "shut up." "Huh?"

I set Muichiro on the ground near a tree. "You talk so much that you don't realize what is going on around you. You didn't know that Muichiro already left a cut in your neck?" Gyutoro looked shocked as he felt the scar on his neck. "What the-"

(Song is not mine)(2:27)
I remember this song. It was the one that Kagome sang to me when I was a kid. She told me that our grandmother used to sing it to her when she was a kid before she passed.

'Song breathing: first note-' a tree came flying to me interrupting my thought.

(Gyutoro pov)
I was mad and confused at the same time. I threw a tree at the girl out of frustration, along with random weapons I made out of my shadow blood demon art. "On my way to you~!" I heard a voice that sounded like it was singing.

"And every heart break was a yellow brick road! Pointing me strait just taking me home! I was never lost- I was passing through!" She was singing and attacking my weapons, and was also coming at me. She jumped up high and showed her figure to the moon. She was coming down at me with her sword in hand. Before she was about to cut my head off . . .

(Y/n pov)
His blood webs cut my arms and face, then his hand cut my stomach open, making me bleed . . .
