So both Upper Moons Five and Four were here, huh? Muzan really was a bum.
Since Tanjiro, Genya, and Nezuko were fighting off Upper Moon Four, y/n figured that she would help them.
After she handled her injuries of course, falling from trees turned out to be way worse than she'd expected, stitching her serious wounds closed before heading off once again.
She could hear loud booms in the distance in addition to shouting. Y/n frowned, sensing that something wasn't right.
There were four demons, right?
How come she only felt one?
"Y/n-chan!"
She turned her head as Mitsuri joined her, the two of them running alongside each other, "Mitsuri, it's you! I think Tanjiro, Nezuko, and Genya are up ahead fighting Upper Moon Four! I'm a little worn out so I don't think I'll arrive in time to help! Please, go ahead to make sure they're alright!"
Mitsuri gave y/n and a thumbs up alongside a determined grin, "Right! Just leave it to me, okay?"
Y/n managed a warm smile, "Thanks Mitsuri."
The Love Hashira's face went pink as she tensed a little before hurrying on ahead, 'Y/n has such an adorable smile!'
"Mm?" y/n tilted her head, "What was that about?"
She shrugged, changing her breathing pattern in order to recover some strength before entering the chaos.
'What is that?' y/n wondered as she saw trees falling up ahead. Her dread increased gradually as whatever was destroying the trees came closer and close until a dragon made of wood suddenly lunged out at y/n.
She couldn't dodge.
She didn't know how long it was.
She wasn't in the position to slice it in half nor would she be able to shift stances quick enough in this state.
So, she did the first thing she thought of.
Y/n dug her heels into the ground and inhaled.
Power surged through her muscles as her bloodstream carried oxygen like a crow delivering messages.
The thing hit her like a truck but it only pushed her back a few feet, her hands gripping the upper and lower half of its mouth to keep it from biting her.
'I can't hold this for long.' y/n realized as she took notice of how the thing still managed to slowly push her, leaving tracks in the dirt while her arms and legs trembled from the effort.
Yeah, she wouldn't last long like this.
The dragon made of wood pulled back, realizing that y/n wasn't just gonna let it bite her. As soon as it did, y/n adjusted her grip on her sword with a intense expression.
She was just gonna stick to Moon Breathing for now.
Though y/n would possibly have to use Wind Breathing, she didn't think she could take much more of the strain of alternating.
Moon Breathing, Ninth Form
Waning Moonswaths
The sound of y/n's breathing was like a sword cutting through the air itself as she surged forward.
She slashed through the wood like it was butter as she sliced the massive creature into bits with curved horizontal and vertical movements.
Just when she thought that the dragon went on forever, she found herself in a ravaged clearing. The pieces of the dragon which she had cut faded to ash as her eyes landed on a twisted and contorted tree-like structure.
And inside, she sensed the main body.
The itty bitty, cowardly body.
Her momentum carried her further and she found herself face to face with another demon. He looked like a kid and he had the kanji for hatred on the drums which were connected to his back.
He seemed surprised to see her though she was equally surprised. That surprise went away as soon as she spotted Mitsuri on the ground. Telling from the look on her face, her life was flashing before her eyes.
Tanjiro was running over to help.
Genya was struggling to free himself from the weird tree thing, as was Nezuko. So y/n decided to help too.
But... she was so close to the demon.
In no position to slash him either.
Mm...
Screw it.
Without thinking, y/n socked the demon in the jaw and sent him flying across the clearing until he slammed into a tree.
His jaw was broken, shifted out of place as the Upper Moon found himself too dazed to actually stand. Mollywhopped that mother🚚er.
'What the hell was that?' he wondered as he tried to get his 💩 together, 'It couldn't have been that girl with the e/c eyes, could it?'
Even if he was a demon, he'd still be dazed for a moment. Y/n planned on running to help Mitsuri but Tanjiro, Nezuko, and Genya had made it to her first.
She exhaled in relief but tensed at the sound of thunder just before lightning struck the ground.
But there was no pain.
"I'LL NEVER LET ANY OF MY FRIENDS DIE!!!!" she heard Mitsuri shout, "THE DEMON SLAYERS ARE MY PRECIOUS FAMILY! UPPER MOON, WHATEVER YOU ARE, I DON'T CARE!"
As the dust cleared, y/n realized that Mitsuri had blocked all of the attacks and had protected all of them.
The Love Hashira was crying now, "I WON'T LOSE TO EVIL PEOPLE! NOW GET YOUR BUTTS READY, IT'S TIME TO GET SERIOUS!!"
"Yeah!" y/n cheered, "Let's do this 💩!"
While Mitsuri was handling the dude with all the weird tree dragon things, Nezuko, Tanjiro, Genya and y/n were attacking a tree.
Not just any tree, a tree with the main body of the demon hiding within. It was a rather sturdy tree, considering that it wasn't falling even with Nezuko burning it, Genya eating, and y/n punching a hole into it.
But they finally got the tree to fall, y/n chopping it in half with a single slash of her sword. Tanjiro and Genya had their swords at the ready only to find that the demon wasn't there.
Y/n's face went blank, "You've gotta be 🚚ing kidding me. WHERE DID THAT LITTLE 💩 GO?!"
Tanjiro was the first to catch sight of the fleeing tiny man and shouted after him, "YOU LITTLE 💩, STOP RUNNING AWAY!!! QUIT RUNNING AWAY FROM YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES!!!"
Y/n gave Tanjiro a look of alarm but didn't hesitate to give chase as the two of them ran after the tiny smol man.
"Every sin you've committed, every evil deed, you'll pay for all of it!" Tanjiro yelled, "There's no escaping it!"
'Damn.' Y/n and Genya thought with wide eyes.
"Everything you do is never anyone else's fault. Now take responsibility for your own actions."
'You two faced liar.' the fleeing demon thought, 'I haven't told a single lie since birth. I'm a virtuous coward yet nobody will sympathize with me.'
"CUT IT OUT, YOU DIP💩!!!" Genya roared then proceeded to throw a whole tree at the tiny demon man, earning a look of shock from Tanjiro as well as a sparkly eyed look of awe from y/n.
"YOU TURD!!!" Genya screamed and threw another damn tree, "READ THE DAMN MOOD!!!"
'HE THREW A TREE!!!' Tanjiro screeched internally, eyes wide with shock.
Nezuko went to snatch up the little dip💩 but he somehow ran even faster than before, leaving her and the others in the dust.
"What's up with this guy, I can't keep up!" Genya snapped, y/n running a few paces ahead of him.
"I hate little 💩s like this guy!" y/n complained, eyes fixated on the retreating figure of the smol demon, "I'll-!"
She didn't get to finish her sentence, the words dying on her tongue when she saw Tanjiro pushed off like a damn rocket and catch up to the smol demon in an instant.
What the...?
Tanjiro got there first with his main character hacks, smacking the tiny demon in his neck meat with his sword. Was he about to cut his head off?
*sigh*
As y/n neared, she saw the tiny demon grow significantly in size. Y/n watched in horror as the demon grew large enough to grab Tanjiro's entire head, attempting to crush the boy.
"DON'T BULLY MEEEE!!!!" the demon roared only for y/n to skid into its view with an expression full of rage.
She revealed a small bag of crushed wisteria, throwing the bag into the demon's mouth. The fang which it brushed by cut open the bag, showering the demon's mouth with wisteria.
To put it simply.
It had a mouth full of poison.
The demon gagged, his moment of confusion and panic allowing Genya to grab his hands and attempt to loosen his grip on lil Tanjiro.
"YOUR LOGIC IS 🚚ED UP, YOU DUMB 💩!!!!" Genya shouted at the demon who opened his mouth to blast the poor lil dwemon swayers only for y/n to not so nicely punch him in the throat, causing the Upper Moon to falter.
"Nezuko!" y/n shouted and the demon girl ran, setting the Upper Moon ablaze and preventing him from blasting the small group of slayers.
Genya managed to rip the demon's arms off, freeing Tanjiro but was set ablaze as well in the process since he was part demon. You know, cause he ate a demon.
The Upper Moon, Nezuko, and Tanjiro fell off the side of the cliff, Genya and Y/n looking down to see if the Kamado duo were still alive.
"Tanjiro!" Genya shouted only for y/n to throw her haori over his head, "Hey!"
"Back up, the sun will be rising soon!" she warned, giving the sky a worried glance as she began to cough.
The heavily bleeding/melting Upper Moon still managed to stagger to his feet, slowly making his way away from the two siblings.
Both of his arms were missing and wouldn't be regenerating any time soon due to the wisteria.
But, of course, Tanjiro was being scary asf from where he was laid out like a discarded piece of clothing in that damned tree.
Said something about how he wasn't gonna let the Upper Moon get away. Scared the life out of y/n.
'It's so hard to breathe...' she thought, as she did all she could to inhale and exhale without breaking into another fit of coughing, 'But I've got a bit more in me. I think...'
"Y/n, wait!" Genya snapped as the young lady moved, clambering down the side of the cliff before dropping lightly on the branch where Tanjiro was.
"Come on." she managed to say, before hopping off the branch and looking towards the retreating demon.
Her e/c eyes weren't fixated on him, rather the oblivious swordsmiths in the distance which the Upper Moon happened to spot at the same time.
The Upper Moon suddenly put on a burst of speed, running for the swordsmiths but y/n wasn't having it.
The h/c haired demon slayer put on a burst of speed, lunging at the demon and clinging to his leg.
"Damn it, let go!!!" he roared while y/n clung on desperately, out of energy and unable to do much else.
Since he had no arms, he could only continue moving while the h/c haired girl could only hold on and pray that Tanjiro would be able to make it in time.
One arm had just regenerated as they were nearing the swordsmith and a strangled noise of pain left her when the demon snatched her up by her throat with the intention to strangle her to death.
She didn't bother wasting her energy trying to kick as the demon lifted her so they could make eye contact.
"Your breath... 🚚ing stinks...!" y/n choked out with a sneer before going on ahead and biting the demon's hand, 'Damn it, Tanjiro, hurry!!!'
Just as the thought came to mind, Tanjiro showed up. In an instant, he sliced off the Upper Moon's head.
However, they weren't out of the woods yet.
The demon's grip on y/n's neck didn't ease, even after he fell over.
She wasn't too concerned about that though, feeling too faint as the lack of oxygen started getting to her.
'Damn it, I can't breathe!' y/n thought, brows pinched in frustration as she feebly slammed her fists against the hand still wrapped around her throat, 'Thanks a lot for leaving me over here, Tanjiro!'
Despite her thoughts, she wasn't angry as he ran over to usher Nezuko towards the woods. The sun would be rising soon and if Nezuko didn't move, she'd burn up.
She became less alert as darkness creeped in at the edges of her vision but it went away as soon as the panic kicked in.
The demon was still kicking! WHAT THE 🚚!?
The threat of death gave y/n new energy as she pried the hand away from her neck, scrambling backwards in shock as the beheaded Upper Moon slowly got up.
"Oh you've gotta be 💩ing me!" y/n snapped, turning a bolting as soon as the demon lunged for her, "DAMN IT, RUN!!!"
The swordsmiths looked back in shock to see y/n sprinting towards them full speed while the demon chased her.
"RUNNN!!!!" y/n shouted at them and they did as they were told, turning and high tailing it in the other direction while one ran towards the danger instead.
Y/n was trying to get the swordsmith to run in the OTHER direction but he insisted on helping her since her legs decided to take a lil break.
As the demon raced towards the duo, y/n caught sight of Tanjiro trying to shield Nezuko from the sun. Good grief, the world was truly against them all.
Too tired to complain, y/n allowed the swordsmith to support her and the two began staggering away from the desperate Upper Moon though he was gaining on them rather quickly.
'Come on, just leave me.' y/n thought, 'Damn it.'
Did she seriously just run out of energy?
No, not yet. She'd gotten soft, way too soft.
Y/n scowled, recalling all those times she'd kept dodging and diving out of danger whenever she was training with Kokushibo. All those times she forced herself to wake up as soon as she lost consciousness.
The h/c haired girl halted, forcing the swordsmith behind her as she unsheathed her sword and faced the approaching demon.
'🚚ing piece of 💩, DIE ALREADY!!!' she thought, 'MY BODY FEELS LIKE ITS ON 🚚ING FIRE AND I JUST WANNA EAT OHAGI RIGHT NOW!!!'
Moon Breathing, Eighth Form
Dragon Moon Ringtail
"🚚ING DIE!!!!" y/n screamed at the top of her lungs like a banshee, scaring the living 💩 out of the swordsmith behind her.
She lunged forwards, her sword slicing halfway into the demon's body and meeting the neck of the main body just chilling within the heart. The attack didn't go all the way through, y/n straining as she used every last bit of strength she had to keep the demon from moving any further.
Even when he grabbed her head, those sharp 🍑 nails drawing blood from her jaw and neck as she pushed her sword deeper, she didn't let go or give in.
And just when she thought her energy had run out, Tanjiro came out of nowhere and sliced into the demon's body as well. With newfound energy at the sight of the boy, y/n grinned.
A final push and the two demon slayers severed the main body's head along with the false body's upper half.
The demon toppled over, falling on top of y/n whose face was forced into the dirt by the weight of him as he turned to ash.
She couldn't hear jack💩 as the swordsmiths and Tanjiro frantically pushed the body off of her so she could actually breathe and wouldn't suffocate.
"Tanji-" y/n broke out into a fit of bloody coughs, keeling over in pain while the swordsmith who had stopped to help her pat her back gently, "Nezuko. Where's...?"
Her e/c eyes met Tanjiro's dark red ones as tears filled his eyes. She observed the look of heartbreak on his face and the realization hit her immediately.
No way.
"Y/n, she..." Tanjiro's voice broke and he began to cry, y/n disregarding her pain to pull him into a hug.
"K-Kamado-dono." one of the swordsmiths spoke up, tapping the boy gently and pointing, "Look."
Y/n was the first to turn her head and her eyes lit up with wonder as she lightly shook Tanjiro, "Tanjiro! Look!"
The burgundy haired boy looked in the direction y/n was looking and spotted Nezuko. Unharmed by the sun.
The girl smiled when she saw the duo and spoke in a cheerful little voice, "M...Morning."
She was still a demon but... she was speaking!
She was standing beneath the sunlight!
It was truly amazing.
The swordsmiths helped y/n and Tanjiro stand before guiding them over to Nezuko, all of them watching as the demon slayer approached his little sister.
Y/n chuckled with a soft smile while Tanjiro hugged his sister and began to cry, the swordsmiths shedding tears as well.
Tanjiro collapsed from exhaustion so Nezuko carried him as they all made their way back to the forest.
Y/n was being carried on Genya's back by then, unable to walk any further. He'd offered and she was tired asf so she didn't decline, clinging to his back like a koala as they made their way back.
When they arrived, they were greeted by Kotetsu and Muichiro. Y/n, of course, ducked her head a little so Genya's floofy mohawk would hide her face.
What was left of her mask had been wrecked during the fight and was somewhere within all the rubble.
So, her face was out for all to see.
Of course, her attempts to hide were futile.
Muichiro didn't look too good but when he spotted y/n on Genya's back, he calmly walked over.
Then proceeded to kick Genya in the shin.
"OW, 🚚!!!" Genya dropped to the ground, holding the spot where Muichiro had kicked him while y/n half-jumped/half-fell off Genya's back so she wouldn't hit the ground.
"Holy-! What?!" she protested but fell silent when the younger boy hugged her, burying his face in her clothes.
Y/n stood there in shock, "...what are you...?"
"Nee-chan..." he looked at her with a tearful smile on his face, "I'm really glad that you're safe."
Oh 💩, he REMEMBERED?!
Y/n stared at her younger brother, speechless as her eyes began to well up with tears, 'He remembers.'
Y/n was the first to recover after her and Muichiro had their wounds taken care of at the Demon Slayer Corps. Upon realizing Muichiro had lost his memories, y/n retreated and sought out Kokushibo again for training.
After officially joining the Demon Slayers, she made no attempts to speak to Muichiro. She couldn't do it, nor could she look him in the eye without feeling furious with herself.
It made things easier, him not remembering.
And she did occasionally spend time with him though she kept her mask on and didn't speak too much.
But he remembered. He actually remembered!
Y/n stared before bursting into tears, "UWAHHHHHHH, MUICHIROOO!!!!! I'M SO SORRY!!!"
Everyone gave y/n looks of shock, with the exception of Muichiro, as y/n began to sob like a baby.
It was normal to see her nervous or embarrassed.
And they'd just gotten used to seeing her being angry. BUT THEY'VE NEVER SEE HER CRY LIKE THIS-
As y/n wailed, Muichiro chuckling while patting her back and murmuring, "don't cry, it's okay...", Mitsuri somehow came out of nowhere and hugged them all.
So now they had three people crying.
Tanjiro, Mitsuri, and y/n.
But they were alive!
Y/n had never felt so relieved.
