You had an idea. Maybe you could distract Karaku and steal his fan again just for a few moments,just enough to help Genya.
You stared behind him. "Wait no stop! Don't cut his head off!"you shouted with wide eyes like you saw something.
Karaku quickly turned around with a grin, expecting a show, but there was nothing behind him. When he turned back to you, it was already too late.
You held his fan in your hands, smirking. "You're so dumb" you said, pointing a finger at him as you laughed out loud like it was the funniest thing in the world.
"Huh?-"
Before he could finish, you swung the fan with both hands. A strong gust of wind blasted him away, slamming him into the trees.
But you didn’t get long to celebrate.
Sekido appeared in front of you in a flash, his angry eyes locked on you. He raised his staff and slammed it down. "Pathetic girl"
"AGH!!!"you cried out as lightning hit your body hard. You dropped to one knee and grit your teeth trying not to scream. The pain felt like it burned your skin and shook your bones.
Genya saw what was going on and didn’t wait. He aimed and shot Sekido right in the hand, making the demon scream and drop his weapon. Without thinking, you rushed forward and grabbed it, wobbling a bit as you stood back up with shaky legs.
"Ugh I'm collecting these weapons like Pokemon..."
You mumbled, your voice tired as you held the weird electric staff in both hands.
"Okay...now how does this work.. "
You looked at it closely, confused, before shrugging and stabbing it into the ground.
"Like this?! "
The second it hit the ground, electricity shot out like wild lightning. Sekido screamed as the current hit him hard, his whole body twitching from the shock. You blinked, stunned, then broke into a big grin.
"HAHA EAT THAT LOSERRRR!! "
Still holding the staff, you turned and grabbed the fan again with your other hand, spinning and swinging it with force. A gust of wind blasted out, strong enough to throw Sekido and Aizetsu backwards, crashing them into the rocks behind them. Dust flew everywhere as they hit the ground hard.
You turned to check on Genya, who was panting and holding his side. He looked up at you with wide, surprised eyes.
"T-thanks..Y/N...!! "
You giggled and walked over to him with a little skip in your step even though your legs were sore.
"Aww don't worry cutie pie! "
You gave him a playful wink. "I'll tell you 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐥𝐲 how to thank me once we’re done with this hellhole..."
You turned back to the demons who were groaning and trying to stand again.
With a grin, you lifted Sekido’s staff high, proud. "Round two baby! "
You slammed the staff into the ground again. Another wave of lightning burst out, hitting both Sekido and Aizetsu straight in the chest.They yelled in pain as the shock rushed through them. You didn’t even give them a chance to breathe before grabbing the fan again and swinging it hard, pushing them even farther away.
Suddenly you heard a crash beside you and turned to see Tanjiro and Nezuko.
"MY BABIESSS!!"
You dropped the weapons and ran straight toward them, arms wide open.
"I missed you twooo."
Tanjiro blushed bright red, clearly flustered.
"Y/n!! We gotta take care of the demons first!!"
But just as you turned around, your heart dropped. Genya was on his knees, coughing up blood, and Sekido had retrieved his weapon from the ground.
"No no no-"
Tanjiro moved fast, slicing Sekido's tongue clean off before he could attack again. But then Karaku jumped right back into the fight, that stupid grin on his face.
"That looks fun! Lemme join you guys??? "
He grabbed his fan that had landed nearby and slammed it down, sending a massive gust toward you, Tanjiro, and Nezuko. The force pressed you all into the ground like bugs under a shoe.
"It's crushing our bodies.." Tanjiro groaned, struggling under the pressure.
The wooden floor beneath you cracked. And then it gave way.
You, Tanjiro, and Nezuko all dropped down into the room below with a loud thud, landing in a broken heap. You barely moved, your eyes fluttering shut from the impact.
"Did we kill her??"Karaku asked, pointing lazily at your unmoving body.
"Probably.. such a waste. She was beautiful, kinda smart but funny.." Urogi muttered.
"YOU IDIOTS!! THAT'S THE GIRL MUZAN TOLD US TO KEEP ALIVE!! " Sekido yelled, veins bulging, lightning sparking around his shoulders.
"HUUUH?! THAT’S HER?! " Karaku's eyes widened as he looked back down at you.
Your eyes fluttered open when you felt yourself bouncing with every step. Someone was running while carrying you. You blinked up, confused for a moment until you realized it was Nezuko. She was
holding both you and Tanjiro over her small shoulders like it was nothing.
"Stop trying to flee!" Sekido shouted behind you. His voice was filled with rage as he slammed his staff into the ground.
A jolt of electricity shot out across the floor, crackling toward you.
Nezuko twisted and jumped, managing to dodge the first wave of lightning. But she didn’t see the second one coming. It struck her back directly, and all three of you were electrocuted.
"Aghhh!"
Nezuko collapsed to the ground with a thud, and you and Tanjiro tumbled off her shoulders.
"Nezuko!!" you cried out. You pulled her into your arms and held her tightly. You knew she would survive, but your chest still ached at the sight of her burned and unmoving body.
Before you could say anything else, Uragi came flying through the air straight toward Tanjiro. He swung his weapon, but Tanjiro rolled to the side just in time.
He got to his feet with a gasp, and you did the same still holding Nezuko close to your chest.
You gritted your teeth. "We have to get out of here!"
Tanjiro nodded. "Let's run!"
You carried Nezuko and sprinted with Tanjiro, both of you weaving through the broken hallways of the building. Sekido’s voice rang out behind you.
"Karaku, blast this entire place down! Now!"
You heard Karaku’s wild laugh, followed by the sound of wind whipping and a sudden pressure behind you.
You barely turned the corner in time. The blast slammed into the walls, tearing through them like paper. You screamed as the force pushed you forward and launched the three of you out of the building.
You hit the ground hard. Debris rained down everywhere. The air was thick with dust and heat.
"Not to brag " Karaku said from behind the smoke, "but I’ll say I’m the best one here."
Your head snapped up.
"Nezuko!! " you cried again, realizing she had gotten caught under a pile of rubble.
Tanjiro tried to pull his sword free, but Nezuko had grabbed it. "Nezuko! Let go of my sword so I can protect you! "he begged.
You groaned and crawled toward her, your arms trembling. The rubble was way too heavy for you to move, but you kept trying anyway.
"Ughhhh!! Move!"
'Y/n, stop, you’ll get even more hurt,' Yoriichi’s voice echoed in your mind.
But you didn’t stop.
Suddenly, flames erupted from beneath the rubble hot and pink and glowing. Nezuko’s blood demon art was reacting.
Tanjiro blinked. "The sword… it’s changing colors…"
His eyes lit up with new strength. He stood up slowly, his grip firm around the now glowing blade.
You looked up at him and gave a tired smile. "You got this…"
He gave a determined nod before running straight at the demons with full speed.
You turned your attention back to Nezuko.
"My baby.."you whispered, tears burning in your eyes. "Wait here, I’ll find something to help you get up with! "
She hummed softly, like she was trying to reassure you.
You looked around but found nothing that could help. So you did the only thing you could do you dropped to your knees and tried lifting the rubble yourself.
"UGHHHHHHHH!"
Your arms shook. Your back screamed in pain. But slowly so slowly you lifted the rubble just enough for her to crawl out.
"Yes!!" you gasped.
The rubble fell behind you as you collapsed onto your back, chest heaving, your face covered in dirt and sweat.
Nezuko stared at you, tears building in her eyes, then threw herself on top of you in a hug.
She cried against your chest, holding onto you like she never wanted to let go.
"Don’t worry… I’m alive. I’m right here, Nezuko" you whispered. You ran your fingers gently through her hair and kissed her forehead.
When you looked up, you saw the battle had ended.
Tanjiro stood with his blade lowered. The bodies of the three demons lay motionless around him. Just ahead of him, Genya stood panting with blood covering his face.
And then your heart dropped.
Genya had cut off Aizetsu’s head but his eyes were glowing and his fangs were sharp. His skin had changed.
He was turning into a demon.
"Genya…" you whispered.
You and Nezuko got up quickly, running toward Tanjiro as he stared ahead in shock.

-When you yelled "MY BABIES" and hugged Tanjiro and Nezuko, Genya was lowkey jealous and wished he was the one getting hugged like that.
-When Karaku saw you were lying on the floor all motionless, he actually panicked for a sec. He was like "Wait wait WAIT NOT THE PRETTY ONE!!" but then played it cool like "heh whatever" in front of the others.
-Sekido said he was furious when you used his own staff against him, but actually..he was kinda impressed.He won’t admit it, but his heart skipped a beat before the electrocution.
-Aizetsu tries to act all tough and cold, but every time you fight fiercely or throw a smart remark his way, he feels this weird flutter in his chest. He’s too stubborn to admit that he's starting to crush on you.
