In a moment of quick thinking, (Y/N) ducked and slid her sword downwards, deeply cutting open the leg of the flame user, but allowing Uzui to cut into the upper area of her non-dominant arm. While the sound user was still landing, however, the girl manage to send a ruthless kick to his ribs, cracking some and sending him away in the process.

"Breath of Flame, First Form: Unknowing Fire!"

Ignoring his cut leg, the flame user sent a series of slashes at the girl, marking her body with multiple, but very shallow cuts. It was a distraction, the girl figured. His was move was fruitless when she already sensed the incoming attack of Uzui, allowing her to move away from the proximity of the flame user and block the attack. With this extra time, she attacked low and deeply swung multiple cuts into both legs of the sound user.

"Look at you," she lightly taunted at him as he held himself up against a tree. "Weak legs and broken ribs—you can barely even stand." An incoming attack from the left, she sensed, and blocked the flame user's attack.

Breath of Stars, Seventh Form: Libra's Scales.

Her downwards ring attack sent the flame user back, and she darted with more spirals towards him, landing multiple cuts on his arms.

"It's fruitless," she apathetically continued. "Tell me, slayers, why are you after me, anyways? I'm human."

As she focused on the Flame Hashira before her, she barely got time to react to the incoming attack she suddenly sensed from behind. This Uzui guy still continues to fight, she thought, and she quickly twisted her body to face him. She was in time to block the entirety of the blow; however, his blade managed to cut a gaping hole at the side of her waist. While she hissed in pain, Uzui answered her.

"You were seen defending Kibutsuji Muzan," he spewed, readying for another attack. "That's enough to flamboyantly investigate you, don't you think?"

It was weird hearing Muzan's entire name coming out from another person's mouth, she admitted to herself. She spent so much time with the demons, that just saying his name felt like a privilege to her.

"That's my private life, don't you think?" she asked back, mimicking his words and tone of voice, her stoic face still unchanging.

"It saddens me that such a pretty girl like you was with a vile man like him," Uzui added.

Breath of Stars, Sixth Form: Virgo's Maiden.

She twirled her body and her sword all around her, ignoring her stinging waist. Her blade collided multiple times with the weapons of the other two and pushed them back as a form of defense. She was beginning to run out of breath, but she figured both Demon Slayers were in a worse state than her. She could still go on for more.

"Breath of Water, First Form."

(Y/N) gritted her teeth from annoyance and shock. A new person's coming from the side.

"Water Surface Slash."

She jumped back, only to see a third Demon Slayer with tied black hair dash in front of her, slashing in a straight line with his blue blade. He missed where he intended to jab, but managed to cut through the front of her legs. Upon reaching the ground, she stumbled slightly due to the fresh pain in her legs, only to jolt forward towards the new slayer when her back was harshly met with the hilt of the flame user's sword.
