Rengoku looks down to see we blood on his fingers and unifrom.
* Must be a deep cut..* Rengoku thought. He went over to tanjiro " Take a deep breath and think about where to wound take place at. When you find it concentrate to stop the bleeding. This will make you lose less blood and you can heal faster then normal, not as fast as demons it should take a few weeks" Rengoku explains.

Tanjiro follows each steps rengoku says feeling his body healing itself. Tanjiro opens his eyes look into rengokus " Thank you, rengoku-san" rengoku smiles at tanjiro " Its no problem!"

Then they heard a loud crash near by, both tanjiro and rengoku turn around to see uppermoon three. This shocks both of them the uppermoon ran at tanjiro with such a fast speed that he couldn't react on time. Luckly rengoku reacted on time cutting the uppermoon hand making him jump away.

" What a fine sword you have there~" he said. Lick the blood off his wrist. Rengoku stand infront of him protectively.

" Rengoku Kyōjurō, the flama hashira." Rengoku told the uppermoon. The uppermoon smiles " Akaza, just akaza or you could just call me uppermoon 3. So Kyōjueō~ join me and become a demon" he offered.

Rengoku simple shook his head " I have to reject, it my job to protect the innocent people that can't defend themself" Akaza rools his eyes " That to bad~ I guess I have to kill you then" he made a snowflake patter on the ground.

Akaza notice to he smirks a started to run " I'll see you next time kid, and next will be your last kid" then that he disappeared Into the Woods.
Tanjiro fell on his knees in pain, rengoku went down to ask if he's was ok.
" Tanjiro, I'm grateful that you saved my life."  Tanjiro smiles at him " I cant let one of my favorite hashira die infront of my eyes" rengoku eyes widen.

Tanjiro was beyond happy " I should take a nap.." tanjiro saids. Rengoku shook his head " No, stay awake till the helper come. I'll stay with you until then" rengoku saids.

Tanjiro slowly nodded " Tanjiro!? Stay woth us!! Me and Nezuko-chan needs you!!" Zenitsu crieds. Tanjiro laughed quitely " I'm be ok zenitsu, I promised.."

Rengoku looks at tanjiro with a sad look, he put tanjiro in his arms letting tanjiro head rest on his chest. Rengoku seen when tanjiro blocks the attack from akaza, he was hit in the same spot that he was cut at. It made his cut bigger and more deeper that it was blood going down his leg and everything.

He was losing blood, Rengoku was trying to put pressure on tanjiro wound. Thats when the kakushi finally came they tired to help rengoku first.
" No, help tanjiro he needs it more then I do. Hes dying" Rengoku said. The kakushi went to tanjiro putting oxygen mask on him and everything.
