This is the last fight scene! It's a long one Enjoy ;)

——————————-
{third POV}

Everyone stilled as a sudden crushing silence filtered through the area, only the shallow gasping breaths of Tanjiro echoing in their minds.

"Take another step I'll kill him" kibutsuji warned, his grip on the boy's neck growing tighter by the second.

"Drop your swords" he ordered, raising his claws to emphasise he was serious. The hashira looked at each other while contemplating "n-no! d... on't" Tanjiro spluttered, his words hardly inaudible as his air supply slowly closed off.

This wouldn't kill him obviously, but Muzan could make any demon's cells die in an instant. That's what terrified all of them.

Tanjiro thrashed his wings harshly, swiping his claws across Muzan's face in a split second. Blood spurted from the wound before it closed quickly.

He instantly regretted it when a rough pair of lips was smashed onto his own, the boy's eyes vibrating with rage and fear as he tried desperately to destroy pull away.

The pillar's watched in disbelief, they couldn't get near them for the fear of hurting their loved one. They were stuck right under Muzan's thumb; and it was infuriating.

Each and everyone felt an awful pit of malice in their stomachs as Muzan forced their Tanjiro into a kiss which seemed to last for an eternity. Tanjiro made constant struggling noises of discomfort as he repeatedly slashed his claws across Muzan's chest.

However he didn't budge, he stayed there till Tanjiro hadn't enough strength to resist anymore.

They were loosing.

Until...

"MONJIROOOO!!!"

None other than our favourite bore head came crashing down on Muzan, cutting off his hand which was holding Tanjiro and breaking their kiss unexpectedly.

Inosuke roared and puffed up his chest, jumping in front of Tanjiro who landed on the floor and readying his swords. Next Zenitsu landed beside the bore, electricity surrounding his body as he stared at the demon king.

Slowly the hashira started to join them, bearing their swords and other various weapons.

"CAW CAW FIVE MINUTES TILL SUNRISE"

Muzan growled with displeasure "I'll slaughter you all!" He screeched, light splashes of sunlight beginning to rise above the buildings.

Everyone stood back to watch what would happen as more and moor rays of light lit up their surrounding. Even Muzan was tense as he waited for it to hit his skin.

That's when... the first sunlight he had experienced decades started to burn and char his body. The demon king lit up in flames, his screams echoing sinisterly around the frozen group.

Their spirits started to brighten.

However all their hope was diminished when the fire surrounding the demon extinguished in a second, revealing Muzan with a wide grin as his skin slowly started to heal itself.

Everyone gasped and took a step back, Tanjiro being the one closest to him now as he didn't move.

He knew this would happen.

He retrieved the flower after all. It was all Tanjiro's fault, and he would fix his mistake in due time.

He already felt an overwhelming guilt from all the low rank demon slayers whom Muzan had massacred in a split second, it was physically crushing him from the inside out.

He would avenge them.

Muzan whipped his head around to look Tanjiro in his burning eyes "you see, I cannot be killed. Join the winning side and we can rebuild everything together" he lured, still trying to sneak his way into the boy's mind.

Everyone looked cautiously towards Tanjiro, watching his next movements carefully...

Tanjiro turned around to look at them, giving the group a wink before turning back again. They were confused at the action; even more so as he started to walk forward towards Kibutsuji.

"That's it, just give in" Muzan spoke with delight, watching as Tanjiro's wings began to neatly curl behind his back before the two stood face to face.

"No Tanjiro you can't!" Mitsuri cried, her voice breaking with sadness as she slowly sunk to the ground on her knees.

Tanjiro ignored her, staring at Muzan's outstretched hand.

"Stay with me Tanjiro"

The boy looked sceptically towards him, wings fluffing up a little in the light breeze; fresh morning rays making his hair glow. He looked euphoric, almost like an angel of darkness; of fire.

Despite the circumstances, everyone present couldn't stare in admiration during the tense silence.

Muzan's evil smirk only grew wider as Tanjiro raised his hand towards the king and shakily intertwined their fingers.

"There... it wasn't to hard now was it?" He stated, voice now a little softer. However all that changed when Tanjiro's claws lengthened as he dug them sharply into his hand.

Muzan hissed and narrowed his eyes "Tanjiro stop" he ordered, a low growl coming from his throat. Blood seeped to the floor as Tanjiro's face scrunched in disgust; digging his nails deeper into the male's hand till his bone crunched awfully.

"I'll never take orders from a monster. Let alone ever feel something for such a pitiful creature such as yourself. I'll never love you and you were foolish to think I ever would"

Kibutsuji's eyes narrowed at the sudden remark, a hidden bloodlust seeping through his gaze. Suddenly the pain in his hand completely subsided, but the thing was he hadn't regenerated it... so why had the pain gone away?

Muzan snapped his eyes away from the fuming boy to look at his bleeding hand.

It wasn't there.

Tanjiro had absorbed almost half his arm without him even knowing.

"Get off! If I can't have you... I'll just have to kill you so no one can" the demon growled through clenched teeth, his canines gritting against each other as he attempted to rip his arm away from Tanjiro's hold.

Tanjiro was slammed into the ground by the demon, his hand still firmly holding onto Muzan. The boy coughed blood and threw himself off the floor using his wings, his free arm being cut off by Muzan's tentacles.

Gyomei attempted to leap into action, swinging his chain along with Tengen "NO STOP!" Taniiro screamed and frantically flailed his wings in the air, warning off the hashira and his other friends.

"We can't just stand here!" Inosuke shouted at the stone pillar once he had stopped rotating his weapon, trying to run into the scene but was stopped by Obanai "you'll get yourself killed pig. None of us can compare to their speed, you'd be dead in the blink of an eye. Simply a burden to Tanjiro"

Inosuke puffed his chest and looked at the scene. iguro was right... the two were simply a blur of flesh and feathers. If he were to jump into there, he'd be cut down in an instant.

Inosuke had no choice.

"The way to help the poor child now is to stay out of harms way" Gyomei informed, tears leaking down his face as he pressed his palms together in a praying stance.

As for the two drawling demons; it was a death match.

Who could kill the other first?

Currently they were both evenly matched.

Muzan was doing everything in his power to falter Tanjiro's hold on his arm. Now Tanjiro had absorbed his whole arm now, and Muzan couldn't regenerate it for some reason.

This was worrying for the demon king.

"IF I DIE YOU DIE TOO TANJIRO" Muzan roared, being lifted into the air as Tanjiro frantically clapped his wings. Muzan stabbed his tentacles into the ground, the two forced pulling against each other immensely.

Tanjiro screamed as his back ripped open, two slightly smaller wings producing from his lower back to provide more power. Everyone watched in anticipation, Tanjiro could feel the joints and ligaments in his arm ripping under the strain.

With one final thrust of his four wings, Kibutsuji's tentacle tor right in the middle, sending the duo scattering high into the air.

Blood rained to the floor like a sickly storm, Tanjiro's arm hanging on only his shoulder socket before it quickly regenerated. The boy flew higher and higher, Muzan would have a disadvantage here.

Wind flew through Tanjiro's crimson soiled locks as they passed through many clouds; the sun now casting much more stronger rays on them.

Now Tanjiro wrapped both his hands around Muzan's shoulders, pulled his head back and sharply biting into his shoulder "I'll kill all your friends Tanjiro. Mark my words, you'll never get away" he stated in a creepily calm tone, using his free hand to cut off one of Tanjiro's larger wings.

The boy ignored the excruciating pain and ripped of chunks of flesh from his neck and swallowed them whole, the more he ate the more powerful he became.

Muzan continued to cut away at the wings, however they grew back in a split second; just as strong as the last.

They both screamed at that moment, their cries reaching all the way to their on the floor who looked up at the clouds completely unaware of what was happening.

It was terrifying.

The sort of screams you would hear from an unknown voice in the woods at the dead of night, filled with fear and anguish.

As Tanjiro continued to rip away at his flesh, their blood mixed; the pair suddenly being engulfed in a spout of flames.

Kibutsuji's skin started to melt under the heat, his pearly white skull and empty eye sockets put on full show. Tanurio contined to absorb his melting skin, the smell so putrid it made him want to throw up; however he resisted the urge.

Soon the fire spread to the winged boy, burning away at his features and charring his skin just like Muzan's.

They started to fall at a terrifying rate, Tanjiro's wings completely useless from the fire.

"MOVE, MOVE OUT THE WAY" he screamed groggily, throat burnt from the still lit fire as they descended through the clouds again and came crashing down on the concrete, everyone just moving out of the way thanks to his warning.

Concrete scattered around the grounds, a thick smoke cloud covering the area as a continuous silence filtered through the thick atmosphere.

Everyone was frozen, they didn't know what to say.

They all simply waited till the smoke a debris to clear in order to see the outcome.

Eventually it did... just enough to see only one figure laying unmoving in a deep crater; a small pile of ash next to them.

"Tanjiro..."
