KYOJURO RENGOKU'S POV

'SHIT! IF I WASN'T FAST ENOUGH TO RUN OVER TO HER SHE WOULDNT BE IN THIS SITUATION!' I scolded myself before lunging to the demon as my blade tries again to swiped through it but the demon was kept on teleporting

'I LET MY GUARD DOWN!─' I grunted at the sudden attack of the demon has given me as my side was slashed, Making a draw of blood slips down from the cut

I ignored the pain as I repeat my 1st breathing

"Flame breathing, First Form: Unknowing Fire" I Internally whispered out of breath, before slashing my sword one last time at the demon's neck as its head dropped down to the ground making a loud thud, "NO! MY HEAD!- WHAT DID YOU DO!? Y-YOU! YOUR A HASHIRA AREN-" Before he could finish his statement his head has already vanished in thin air

I sigh as I quickly run beside Y/n who looked a bit pale, I slid my hands under her knees and nape as I carried her in bridal style. Her weight isn't an issue, either way, She's very light, to be honest

I looked around to see the place was awfully quiet, The kid from before must have alerted the people around here

That's good...

I straighten up my posture as I started to walk out of the scene heading through the entrance of the village's main gates

I felt the girl in my arms snuggled to me more feeling her painful look on her face made me worry about her current condition, With that, I started to walk faster.

I looked behind my shoulders once more than look in front of me to see the villagers with fear in their eyes, But when they saw me they scram upfront as they continuously thank me, Others started to cry as they embrace one another

I then look back at Y/n who was comfortable in my arms, I saw my sides still bleeding but carelessly ignored it as I look at Y/n more observing if she has any wound

'It seems like I'm the only one who was injured..' I thought to myself trying my best not to chuckle at my idiotic manner

"Excuse me! Do you know anyone who can take us to the medics?" I asked one of the villagers who gladly lead us both to the tent, Some of the villagers are already heading back to their homes with relief

"Thank you so much for the help!" I said

"It's no problem! Thank you also for saving us from the demon you were talking about earlier..!" They then say as they waved their goodbyes living me in front of the medic's tent

I swished the curtains as I greeted the nurse who was helping the kid that I and Y/n saved, She runs towards me before hugging my left foot tightly

"Thank you so much for saving me, mister! As well with the pretty lady that also saves me!" She cried out as the nurse that was helping her panics as she held the child in her arms saying not to move too much because of the scratch she have taken

I looked around to see an unoccupied futon where I walk over to it gently putting down the h/c girl who was in a deep sleep, Her breathing is back to normal same as her skin was back to s/c which is pale much like a few minutes ago

I soon sat beside her futon gently brushing her h/c that was in the way of her face, Then waited for another nurse or doctor to check on Y/n to see if there's any particular issue that may also get damaged while taking the fight
