Chapter 3

Meanwhile

Inosuke stood up his limbs paining but he adjust himself and gets in fighting stance Infront of him four demons, there eyes glowing with bloodlust, demons surrounded him from all direction.

"Hahahaha!!" Inosuke laughed in madness and lust for fight.

"Beast breathing, Fifth fang." Inosuke said as he jumped, in mid-air, slices releases in all directions and Inosuke land on ground in center of them, demons was still there unharmed.

Inosuke smirked under his boar head mask, as he landed on ground, three demons on spot died, their bodies split in two and blood came out of their bodies like waterfall, blood fell over Inosuke's body, fourth demon was alive but badly injured, he started regenerating his limbs as fast possible.

"You're done now weaklings!" Inosuke said as he walked towards the demon and with powerful final below decapitated demon at once.

"Now I should go and help Monjiro" Inosuke spoke up his eyes were glowing hint of amusement.

Zenitsu was laying on ground, the impact of crashing on stone was too powerful, his forehead started bleeding, he got unconscious.

Just then demons arrived, looking at zenitsu's Injured body laying in ground not moving at all.

Demon: is he dead?

They exchanged glances

"I don't think so.. these demon slayers are stronger than the before" another demon replied

Just then, they tilted their head and saw zenitsu standing Infront of them, his eyes are still close.

"Thunder breathing, first form, thunderclap and flash." Zenitsu murmured, before demons could even react or say something, zenitsu charged at them in lightning speed, decapitating them with a devastating blow instantly, zenitsu stopped behind the demons, their head rolled on ground and Blood Spread everywhere and their bodies started to disintegrate.

Zenitsu woke up, his sword still in his hand, he turned around and yelled and jumped.

"Who killed them?!! Who s-saved me??"

He glanced around no one was there, he sheathed his sword.

"I should go and help them."

Zenitsu spoke, he was still scared but pretend to be not he ran in tanjiro's direction.

Tanjiro standing Infront of two demons and the one he sliced arms, now healed himself completely.

Tanjiro jumped and stood on branch on tree and then jumped down, falling downward on the new demon.

"Water breathing, eighth form: water wheel!!" He screamed and sliced through demon's neck instantly.

(Tanjiro thinking: what? They're weak demons but attack in group so their target get caught off guard and the large demon have raw power but he's also weak.. I hope Inosuke having easy time dealing with them)

Tanjiro landed on ground, he heard someone calling his name, but wrong.

"Gonpachiro!!" It was Inosuke, tanjiro turned around just then Inosuke jumped and go straight to the demon who have beaten them.

"Beast breathing second fang, SLICE!" Inosuke swings his both blades and deliver an X-shaped straight on demon's chest, the blood of demon hits Inosuke's boar head mask which was already bloodied, demon fell on ground bleeding, just then from behind Inosuke tanjiro jumped coming towards them, Inosuke slipped away from demon.

"Water breathing first form water surface slash!" Tanjiro landed on demon's body, successfully slicing through his neck. Tanjiro then stood up and walk towards Inosuke.

"We made up well team" tanjiro speak panting heavily.

"If I haven't helped you won't be able to defeat them" Inosuke replied between breathes, His chest rising up and down panting.

"Hey guys, you've defeated them, well done" zenitsu said as he was running towards them.

"Oh, Zenitsu, you decapitated demons???" Tanjiro spoke up, surprised.

"Well.. guys I don't really know, when I crashed into the stone, I got unconscious but when I regained conscious, demon's were dead, and their bodies started vanishing.." zenitsu replied scratching back of his head.

"You're bleeding zenitsu" tanjiro said with concerned look.

"Yeah... It's paining a lot, but i can tolerate that until we go back to butterfly mansion" zenitsu replied

Tanjiro: "we should get going" he clutches his stomach with his right hand

"That demon hit me hard.." tanjiro said with smile.

"No! I'm not Injured At All! I can still fight!" Inosuke exclaimed.

Tanjiro and Zenitsu turned around walking away. "No.. we have finished the job already!" Zenitsu said, tanjiro nodding.

shivers ran down their spines, as they heard someone says something.

??? soft as the rustle of silk, cuts through the silence: "My, my, how diligently you've purged the weak. Almost… too diligent.

They turned around slowly, they noticed an figure in dark, there eyes widen as they Seen it's glowing striking emerald green eyes.

(Tanjiro thinking. Upper Moon Three?!?)

Demon emerges from darkness into moonlight

Taking in it's appearance

She has an ethereal

and haunting beauty. Her hair is a deep, raven black, cascading in loose waves down to her waist. Her eyes are a striking emerald green, with a mysterious glow. Her skin is a smooth, white, and she's wearing a flowing, dark green kimono adorned with intricate patterns of vines and leaves. Her nails are long and sharp, resembling thorns, and she has a serene yet unsettling smile.

Inosuke was going to attack on her, tanjiro instantly grabbed Inosuke's wrist firmly.

Upper moon three: "Such relentless cleansing... it's almost... boring. Show me what you've truly got. Let's see if your 'diligence' can withstand the beauty of true destruction."

Tanjiro (thinking: we won't be able to fight upper moon... At least not now given to our injuries.. I have to find a way to get outta here)

Tanjiro: Water breathing 4th form striking tide!

Infraction of second,

Before Any of them can React, Upper moon three Ran in incredible speed, appeared Infront of Tanjiro, She Punched Tanjiro On his Face tanjiro went flying backwards, then she instantly kicked Inosuke onto his stomach send him with tanjiro, Then punched Zenitsu on his chin, causing it to break then punched Zenitsu on stomach throwing him to them as well.

Then All crashed on trees then on ground.

Tanjiro's nose started bleeding, his both eyes started paining, His Vision was blurry.

"Damn it.." tanjiro said quietly trying to stand up and blinking to get a clear vision.

Zenitsu caught up blood, he wasn't able to speak because of broken jaw, he was too weakend laying on ground.

Blood was dripping down from Inosuke's mouth, He was pushing himself and after struggling stood up.

Inosuke:"M-monjiro... We.. we have to protect the Town's people.."

Tanjiro:"Y-yeah" he tries to stand up (thinking my ribs... Are my ribs broke?) blood was running down from his mouth to chin.

Upper moon three walked towards them,

Smirking.

Upper moon three: Show me your 'diligence' or it was just against weaks?

Do what you can Infront Of Beauty of destruction!

Suddenly, She formed long claws of her blood, extended from her hands, walking towards them.

Tanjiro:(thinking I have to do something, I have to protect nezuko... Two times I crash on trees so the box is Not Much Durable Right now... I have to think of a idea)

Eventually she approached them, Then She pull her hand backwards, ready t give a vertical slash on tanjiro. Her claws were centimeters away from tanjiro's neck, SUDDENLY...

From nowhere Mist spreaded everywhere, then tanjiro heard Sound of Sword Swinging..

Tanjiro (thinking is it Inosuke?)

Upper moon three's arm fell on ground, she jumped backwards surprised.

Mist cleared slowly, a person emerges from mist standing between Upper moon three and tanjiro Inosuke zenitsu, facing upper moon three, Tanjiro Taking in his appearance as his vision gets clear.

His back facing them his imposing stature and broad shoulders. His long, dark hair likely cascade down his back, the wild, spiky style. The black haori, likely open, reveal the dark fabric of his uniform beneath. The patterns on the haori, though partially obscured, his katana, strapped to his back in a scabbard.

Tanjiro:(thinking is it Akira-san?)

Demon slayer: "Why you'd go after Injured persons?, I'm going outside Tokyo this news just spreaded, cowards got out of their shelter, Wow!" He said Mockingly and laughs.

She didn't seem to be surprised.

Hana: What's your name, demon slayer, I'm Hana, You look pretty far Stronger then those behind you..

She Regenerated her Arm instantly.

Akira: I'm Akira, They're not weak but the one who's gonna invade you from behind isn't any 'Demon slayer'.

She turned around instantly but it was too late, Kenta's Sword Was several centimeters away from her neck... Then.... Kenta's Sword slashed Her neck but didn't decapitated, as kenta delivered his attack he landed beside Akira.

Akira: Kenta? Why didn't you decapitated her?. He asked confused.

Kenta: Something wrong... I delivered slash very powerfully with my sword.. and I felt that I successfully delivered but... Why she didn't got any Damage?... How?...

Akira was secretly waving his hand slowly towards tanjiro Inosuke Zenitsu.

She turned to face them once again

Hana: I didn't imagined that demon slayers can become cowards... Attacking from behind huh?

Tanjiro: what are you trying to say Akira-san..

He asked as he winced in pain.

Akira was chuckling, then he turned around.

Akira: I was trying to say get out of here!!! Don't you understand any gestures!

Tanjiro was taken a back by his sudden outburst, he wasn't expecting that.

Tanjiro: but we're injured pretty badly... Even if I and Inosuke ran away, zenitsu is unconscious, I can't carry him along because of my injuries...

Inosuke: I can't neither...

Akira sighs: kenta.. before departure to Kyoto... I can have some worm up.. he said as he gets in fighting stance.

Kenta was standing beside his, Almost frozen.

Akira: kenta..?

Kenta snapped out of his thoughts and replied

Kenta: oh sorry!... I'll take care of them.

Kenta run towards them, and puts zenitsu on his shoulder.

Kenta: You both can run?.. give me that box if you want..

Tanjiro: no.. I can run with the box.

Inosuke: I can Still fight.

He gets is fighting stance

Kenta quickly put Inosuke on his shoulder and started to run away along tanjiro with him.

Inosuke: hey You Coward, leave me!!

Inosuke started moving his legs and hands back and forth, but kenta managed to run away.

Kenta: you will be a Problem in their fight..

They disappeared in distance.

Hana quickly going after them but Akira blocked her path.

Akira: whoa, whoa, Upper moon three, And Timid?.. where's your Beauty of Destruction, huh?

Hana: I won't let any of you leave this town...

Akira gets in fighting stance, ready to attack or counter.

Akira: let's see What you've got..

Hana: if I come to show that.. You Won't stand on your feet again...

Akira: Have You Ever Encountered A Hashira? You don't seem you did..
