Chapter 18

Tanjiro covered Nezuko, and I kept us all under my robe, waiting for it to end faster.
The moment it left us, I look over the two of them.

"Are you hurt? Is Nezuko okay?"

He nodded.
"We're okay."

I look towards the gaping hole in the wall, seeing two demons, the one that sent those balls coming right as us smiling, ready to throw them again.

I growled and stood up, grabbing my staff.
She threw them back, and not even my airbending stopped them as one barely hit me right in my chest, the pain unbearable as I spat out nothing but blood.

"Y/N!"
Tanjiro yelled and pulled me aside, but I hold off his worried questions.

My eyes flashed back at the two demons, realizing what had hit me was... A temari ball?!

That did so much damage to me?!

Right as we realize, her childish laughter erupts as she threw them again, leaving us with no choice but to hold still and duck, the large dust cloud and falling debris too much to deal with currently.

One of the temari dodged Yushiro, before...
Before completely blowing his head off!
What the fuck?!

"Damn it!"
Tanjiro cursed.
"Nezuko, the lady sleeping in the backroom, take her to safety!"

She nodded and ran off, leaving us to deal with these demons.
I grab my staff again and muster everything I've got in me, this time successfully blowing the two and the lady's temari far away.

I kept it up to ensure they'd stay put, when the immediate punching sensation hits me, the ground now raised right into my gut.

It sent me backwards, coughing blood yet again. Fuck, one of them's an earthbender...
Damn it, I'm being too reckless. I'll get myself killed this way.

Tanjiro readies his sword and so do I, ready to fight off these demons.

"Two down, one to go~"
She giggled, bringing back and catching her temari, bouncing them as the little bell inside rang.

"Oh~ There's the Demon Slayer who wears hanafuda earrings!"
She exclaimed, the male demon with her continuing as he raised his hands.

He had eyeballs embedded into his hands, making me cringe.
"And the Demon Slayer with air nomad tattoos!"

"That's you two, right?!"

Wait, they knew us?! Or at least knew of us?!
Did Kibutsuji send them to hunt us down?!

"Miss Tamayo! Find a place to hide! These demons are after us!"
Tanjiro called out.

"No, you two focus on the fight, don't worry about us. We'll be just fine. We're demons too."

My eyes return to the now approaching temari.
"It's all over for you two!"

Tanjiro managed to stab his sword right through the temari, although it did manage to hit him again, and I start feeling weak already from the hits I took. But I can't but roll over and die yet.
