Demon: Do really think a pathetic brat like you could...
Before he could finish his sentence I had sliced through his arm that was holding the girl.
Demon: Ah! Darn you, you'll pay for this!
He yelled as I was facing the girl.
(Y/N): You're safe, just stay behind me while I finish this.
As I turned around the demon was too close and I couldn't get out of the way fast enough so his claw-like fingers cut deep into my chest. Before he could get another hit in, I kicked him away.
Demon: See I knew you were weak. Once I kill you I will devour that girl and everyone else on this mountain.
Instead of responding, I took a deep breath.
(Y/N): Total Concentration. Flame Breathing First Form Unknowing Fire.
My sword lit up with fire as I quickly charged at him and slashed at his neck. In that one quick movement, I decapitated him and watched his head when flying. After his body disintegrated I turned to see the woman on the ground still in shock. I walked over to her.
(Y/N): It's ok the demon can't hurt you anymore. Let's get you back home.
I said, offering her my hand. She put her hand in mine and I helped her to her feet.
Girl: Thank you.
(Y/N): You're welcome. Just be sure not to go out after dark. It isn't safe.
I walked the girl home and once she was instead I took a moment to rest because my chest was really killing me. I opened my shirt to see the bleeding hadn't stopped so I took some spare cloth and tied it around my chest to compress the wound until I could get help.
(Y/N): The Butterfly Mansion isn't too far. If I hurry I can make it there by morning.
With that, I decided to make my way to the Butterfly Mansion. It was a long walk. By the time I arrived the sun had been up for at least three hours. I didn't see anyone outside so I entered and walked in the direction of the medical wing. As I turned a corner I almost bumped into someone.

(Y/N): Oh hi Nezuko, I'm sorry I didn't see you there.
She removed the bamboo from her mouth.
Nezuko: Welcome back (y/n).
(Y/N): Thank you. It's good seeing you out and about during the day.
I'll be honest I still haven't gotten used to seeing Nezuko during the day yet even though it's almost six months. She also had gotten much better at talking.
(Y/N): I guess this must mean that Tanjiro and the others are here as well.
