It also took a few times for him to notice how many times he was seeing his own reflection which he hated the most. It disgusted him to no ends.

So did Eiko help them?

They're still fighting Koku it seems. The small mirrors are slightly affecting him

Even so, they're progressing slowly. They were able to tear his kimono off so that's something i'd say

Eiko had to say his moon breathing is still double her power. She could only pray the shield won't break down suddenly since she's running low on power. She had her intake on human blood but it's draining faster than she anticipated

"I think it's time you rest" She whispered as she appeared in front of Koku whose eyes visibly widened. "Moon breathing, first form, Dark Moon, Evening Palace" Eiko slashed swiftly in a singular horizontal motion in a crescent shape, creating numerous chaotic crescent blades which cut off his head cleanly "don't you think it's about time you had that talk with Yoriichi-san" She swung her blade as to shake off the blood and kept it back

"Eiko, sorry for troubling you" Gyomei walked up to the girl and patted her head

"No problem, just end him" They all nodded their heads and rushed out of the room as Eiko stood still in the room. A tear streamed down her face "ha? Am I crying over the demon's deaths?" She touched her cheeks to check but it was there

She had denied her feelings about caring for some of them. She disliked demons. However one had struck her heart

Akaza. She never knew why. She suddenly got attached

She bit her lips and immediately teleported back to her room and slammed her head on her desk. Wait a second. Her eyes widened once again at another realisation

She'd have to fight Muzan if none of them are able to come close to him.

She's seen his real form. A hideous one. The second one to almost defeat him was her brother. A Sun breather. He protected and hid her till the end of his life when Muzan went away.

Man this sucks. Really. Being the middle bridge isn't what she wanted

She hadn't realised how shooked she was with the current situation. She was beyond scared. The walls and floor of the fortress started to shake so badly that it collapsed and she was teleported to a building outside.

Wait- I didn't do that?

He must have done it then. She saw the complete view of everyone fighting Muzan. In spite of that, she noticed that they were injured

The shield... failed? Impossible, the shield on Tamayo was able to sustain for more than a few weeks and Muzan's force on her

Then... It must have fallen just now. Eiko wasn't able to control her energy well enough which depleted more than it should since its taking a toll on her mental right about now

"Do what you can now, if needed set aside your emotions for a while to protect the people you love even if it means dying"

Alright then mother, we'll see if that's a working theory for me of all people

Eiko made a blood packet appear and drank it for some boost of power. Even when she had tried so hard to avoid not to fight. Some things are just unavoidable as it seems

"Ne, Muzan-sama why is living such a pain" Eiko said as she cut off all his tentacles that were about to hit other slayers or hashira's

"It's not," He replied, looking at the white haired lady who had her nichirin blade out. "Go sit atop the building. Did you forget what you wanted?"

"Of course, I never forget my dealings... but I learnt... some people are way to ducking stuborn" she had gripped her nichirin blade tightly. She was whispering some things that no one heard. Even if they did, they wouldn't know what it does "let's start this up shall we? Everyone get your ass up, we have unfinished business" She jumped a bit to the back not wanting to get by the tentacle that he already had grew back

"So you've been with the enemies all this time?" Muzan asked as he attacked the people who were attacking him.

"No, just till recently" She muttered a bit wobbly from the new casted blood art on everyone

The moon protects the one on it's side. A shield and a healing force would protect the ones who Eiko wishes to do so but only works if the moon's out. Albeit everyone was knocked into walls and lost unconscious for a short period of time. Which she hoped

"Tanjiro about time you woke up" Eiko had a small smile on her face when he saw him save Kanao using the Sun breathing "do it repeatedly, I'll make sure you won't get hurt" She held her blade high as she zoomed to Muzan who commanded his whips to attack her

Due to her healing as fast as his, it wasn't as visible whenever she got hit. It still hurt like hell being close to Tanjiro when he was doing his consecutive strikes of the Sun breathing

Last longer Eiko, sorry guys but I need to drop the shield

"45 MINUTES TILL DAWN! CAW!"

"OBANAI GET THE PAPERS AND STICK IT ON YOUR FACE! KABURAMA HELP HIM" Eiko yelled out as Tanjiro threw papers his way but Muzan had whipped the three them back a bit as he started to run

"IGURO-SAN TAKE THREE LONG STRIDES TO RIGHT! KABURAMA!" Tanjiro shouted as his snake caught the paper in his mouth and sticked it on his face

"Thanks.... Tanjiro and Eiko" he whispered. Whether they heard it or not was on the top of his head. He could see better now

"Crap" Eiko muttered when she saw his arm getting bigger in size. He's trying to escape. Soon enough it suddenly stopped. It stopped?

Curse that lady Muzan thought there were... 4 drugs!?

He was so angry that a sudden shockwave released from his that sent the trio flying back

They three of them got knocked back quite far and Eiko was knocked into a building and the impact on hers was more than the rest.

Get up, get up! He's going to escape if you don't. Tanjiro's past his limits... guess i'll have to try my best doing the breathing

She stumbled a bit and walked slowly but surely to where Muzan was. Inosuke and Zenitsu were fighting against Muzan as Obanai and Tanjiro recovered. They were going everywhere her eyes couldn't focus which led her to fall beside Tanjiro

"Maa, maa. We sure are wrecked aren't we" Eiko chuckled as she poked Tanjiro's side. He started to heal slowly "get up as quickly as you can, i'm no professional at this" Eiko got up and started running as she saw Zenitsu and Inosuke doing their own breathings

They sure do grow up quick
