S1 Chapter 9: Temari Demon and Arrow Demon
Recap.
Yushiro/Y/n: Get down!
Y/n ducked with Tanjiro and Nezuko while Yushiro hugged Tamayo trying to protect her from two raging temari that went outside after wracking the room and went to a female demon with short black hair and orange at the end, orange eyes, and black haori over an orange kimono. She was also accompanied by a male demon with really short black hair, blue beads around his neck, closed eyes, and a black and green haori over a green kimono.
Male demon: Did you decide how to kill them?
Female demon: Ruthlessly!
She threw her temari again and they moved on there own as the two demons started to laugh maniacally.
Temari Demon: Turns out you were right, Yahaba! This building just materialized out of nowhere.
Yahaba: The handy work of someone using a Blood Demon Art that can hid objects. What is this? We're tracking down a couple of Demon Slayers. Are they with demons?
Temari Demon: (laugh) Isn't this fun?
Yahaba: I have to say, Susamaru... your way of doing things is just so immature. Utterly careless. You splattered me! My kimono is covered in dust!
Susamaru: Oh, stop whining! Who cares about dust? My temari just uncovered their hiding place. And now, the real fun begins!
She threw her temari at the house again.
Yahaba: Stop splattering me!
Susamaru: Stop being so uptight! Your kimono looks just fine to me. And look...
When the dust began to clear she saw Tanjiro, Y/n and Nezuko.
Susamaru: Come out, come out where ever you are!
Tanjiro: A temari! Throwing a temari caused all this damage.
Tamayo: That woman.
Yushiro: Did Kibutsuji send her?
Susamaru threw her temari again and they continued to wrecking the place and one tried to go for Tamayo but Yushiro stepped in front of her.
Yushiro: Lady Tamayo!
The temari suddenly changed direction and it destroyed Yushiro's head from the left.
Tanjiro: Yushiro!
Y/n: Well, to be fair, I didn't care about him.
Tanjiro: Dammit! Nezuko! The lady sleeping in the back room, take her outside and get her to safety!
Nezuko nodded.
Tamayo: It's too dangerous! We have a basement, take her there!
Tanjiro: Good idea! Nezuko!
She ran to get the lady.
Y/n: If this keeps up, this whole house will come down!
Susamaru: One down, four to go!
Tanjiro: Her scent is different than any other demon I've met! It's stronger and thicker! It feels heavy inside my lungs!
Y/n: That means that either she's eaten a lot of people, or she must have a large about of Muzan's blood.
The temari went back to Susamaru.
Susamaru: There are Demon Slayers with Hanafuda earrings and a bird mask. That would be you too, right?
Tanjiro: They're targeting us? Miss Tamayo! I want you to go find a place to hide! These demons are after us!
Tamayo: No, Tanjiro! You need to focus on the fight, don't worry about us. We'll be just fine without your protection. We're demons too.
Susamaru: Alrighty... it's all over for you!
She threw one of her temari at Tanjiro.
Tanjiro: (Thinking: It'll only swerve if I dodge it.) The fastest thrusting technique... of all ten forms. Total Concentration. Water Breathing, Seventh: Drop Ripple Thrust-Curve!
Tanjiro stabbed through the ball with a thrust. It looked like it was doing the job, but the temari sent itself free and hit Tanjiro.
Tanjiro: (Thinking: How does it move like that? It did the same kind of weird swerve when it hit Yushiro, too! She doesn't seem to be putting any spin in it though. So, how?)
Tamayo: Yushiro! Yushiro!
Yushiro's head slowly starts to regenerate and he talked when his mouth reformed.
Yushiro: Lady Tamayo! I tried to tell you, didn't I? I said not to get involved with a Demon Slayer! And I was right! My concealment spell is still a work in progress! You should've known that just as well as I do! I may be able to conceal buildings and people, and their scent, but it's not like I can hide the fact that they exist! The greater our numbers, the more traces we leave, and the greater the odds that Kibutsuji will find us!
Tanjiro: (Thinking: Those demons got so close to us, but there was no scent until they attacked! Was that Yushiro's Blood Demon Art?)
The upper part of Yushiro's head was now regenerated.
Yushiro: I hate anyone who gets in the way of the time I spend alone with you. I despise them! I loathe them with passion! It's unforgivable!
Y/n: Why don't you quit yelling and help us with these demons, asshole!
Susamaru took off her haori and laughed historically.
Susamaru: Listen to your friend!
She slipped off her kimono revealing her sports bra.
Susamaru: Who's having fun? I know I sure am! You're about to be killed by one of the Twelve Kizuki. Doesn't that make you feel special!
Tanjiro: Twelve Kizuki? We found one already?
Susamaru grew two arms on both of her sides giving her a total of six arms.
Tanjiro: That's a lot of arms!
She got more temari, one for each of her hands.
Susamaru: Now then, let the game continue! Until morning comes! Until you're all dead!
She threw all of her temari and they started wrecking the place and one even cut Yushiro's cheek.
Tamayo: (Thinking: If I were to cast my spell right now, it would affect Tanjiro, as well. And I have no idea how it would affect Y/n. And Yushiro needs time in order to switch to attack mode. But if this goes on...)
Tanjiro and Y/n were fighting off the temari the best they can.
Tanjiro: It happened again! They changed direction, even without hitting anything!
Tanjiro cut two in half but that just blunted the blow.
Tanjiro: If I cut them in half, it blunts the blow, but the still hit me anyway.
The temari vanished after they hit Tanjiro.
Y/n: I theorized that she's not the one moving these balls.
Tanjiro: What makes you say that?
Y/n: The temari vanished as soon as it hit you, which means her Blood Demon Art must be making temari and using them as lethal weapons. So, I don't think that leaves room for her to control them. Do you spell anything off about them?
Tanjiro: I can smell two different scents of blood.
Y/n: I did see another demon with her, maybe her partner is moving these temari for her.
Three went for Yushiro and Tamayo. One hit Yushiro and blew off the corner of his head and two hit Tamayo.
Tanjiro: Miss Tamayo! Yushiro, no!
Y/n: They don't need protection, Tanjiro. They'll regenerate. What we need to focus on is our selves.
Tamayo: He's right, don't worry about us!
Yushiro: Hey! Idiots! The arrows will tell you which direction they're going! So, dodge the arrows!
Tanjiro: What arrows?
Y/n: The only thing we can see are raging temari.
Yushiro: Seriously, you're telling me neither of you can see them?
Yushiro pulled out two talismans.
Yushiro: I'm lending you two my sense of sight! That should at least give you the chance to kill the temari woman!
Yushiro threw the talismans at Tanjiro and Y/n which landed on their foreheads and when they did they had a picture of a red eye on them which gave Tanjiro and Y/n the ability to see the red arrows that the temari were following.
Tanjiro: I see them now!
Y/n: This must be her partners Blood Demon Art.
They were now easily able to dodge the arrows and temari.
Tanjiro: Thanks a lot, Yushiro! We can see the arrows, that helps.
They kept dodging the balls.
Yushiro: Then, hurry up and get rid of her!
Nezuko finally came back.
Tanjiro: Nezuko! Let's go outside! Take care of the one in the tree!
Nezuko nodded and jumped into the trees as the temari went back to Susamaru who Tanjiro and Y/n face off with.
Tanjiro: We're the ones you came here for.
Y/n: Leave them out of it.
Susamaru took a better look at them.
Susamaru: You are the Demon Slayers who wears Hanafuda earrings and the bird mask. I knew it. I'm going to take off that head of yours and bring it to him. As for you, bird boy. Today's your lucky day, he wants you back alive.
They were both shocked when Susamaru was getting ready to throw again.
Susamaru: This is so much fun!
She threw her temari with the arrows guiding them at Tanjiro and Y/n who were able to dodge.
Tanjiro: (Thinking: Nezuko, hurry up.)
Nezuko was jumping through the trees until she saw Yahaba and kicked him a bunch of times which he blocked and made the arrows disappear.
Y/n: Great work, Nezuko. We'll take care of the rest.
Y/n took his stance.
Y/n: Total Concentration. Wind Breathing, Third Form: Clean Storm Wind Tree.
He used the hurricane slash pattern to completely shred the temari.
Y/n: Now, Tanjiro!
Tanjiro: Water Breathing, Third Form: Flowing Dance!
He did twist and maneuvers which let him cut off Susamaru's arms and that's when Tamayo and Yushiro stepped out.
Tanjiro: Miss Tamayo! Are these two closely related to Kibutsuji?
Tamayo: Possibly.
Tanjiro: That's what I thought, looks like we found your first blood samples!
Susamaru's arms started to disintegrate as she laugh historically.
Susamaru: You think you'll be able take blood from us? I'm not really sure what kind of schemes you're up to, but there's no way I'm going to let you do anything that will displease him whatsoever! If you want blood from the Twelve Kizuki, then give it a shot, let's see if you can!
Yushiro: Watch your backs! Don't let your guard down! If they really are some of the Twelve Kizuki, don't underestimate them, they're more powerful than any other demon you've faced before!
Tanjiro: Right! I understand! We'll keep our guards up, be careful, and breathe. Kay, her I go!
Nezuko was still on the offensive.
Yahaba: Stop stirring up so much dust. So filthy!
Yahaba showed he had a pair of eyes in the palms of his hands which had arrows for pupils and when he closed them Nezuko flew away from him.
Meanwhile.
Susamaru's arms completely regenerated.
Tanjiro: (Thinking: That didn't take long, she can regenerate so fast! The demons during Final Selection were a lot slower than this!)
Y/n: Well, even if you're able to regenerate your arms, your head will be incapable of regenerating once I cut it off!
Y/n ran at Susamaru and swang Eleatara near her neck which was about to connect, but Y/n suddenly went flying the opposite direction which was the work of Yahaba who sent Nezuko on top of them.
Yahaba: I can't believe you were that close to being beheaded, Susamaru.
Susamaru: Oh, whatever. Now, they can die together.
She threw her temari at them but they managed to get out of the way.
Tanjiro: Are you all right, Nezuko?
Nezuko nodded.
Tanjiro: What about you, Y/n?
Y/n: Never been better.
Yushiro: Hey, Demon Slayers! We're gonna need you two to deal with the arrow guy first! Let the rest of us take care of the temari woman!
Tanjiro: Understood. Nezuko, don't push yourself to hard.
Nezuko looked at Tamayo and Yushiro and saw her mother and Rokuta.
Tanjiro: Go get her.
Y/n: We'll come help you as soon as we kill this hand eyed freak.
They went to their respective opponents. Tanjiro quickly smelled Yahaba's Opening Thread.
Tanjiro: I got it. The Opening Thread!
Yahaba: What a gramy little urchin you are. Don't come anywhere near me!
Yahaba closed his hand eye and it cut the Opening Thread.
Tanjiro: (Thinking: What the? It snapped!)
Tanjiro slipped on an arrow which made him miss and a bunch of other arrows started knocking him around.
Y/n: Tanjiro!
They launched Tanjiro into the sky and Tanjiro was about to fall to his death but he soften it with...
Tanjiro: Eighth Form: Waterfall Basin!
Y/n: Using that attack to soften your blow was a good choice.
With Nezuko.
She was dodging temari from Susamaru and when Yushiro finally stepped in he vanished into thin air.
Susamaru: Where is he?
Yushiro who was still invisible unleashed a barrage of attacks on her and makes himself visible again after he was finished.
Yushiro: Lady Tamayo is in pain because of you! I can't forgive that!
Yahaba: Tamayo? Susamaru, can you believe our luck? We found Tamayo the Fugitive. She'll make quite a souvenir.
Susamaru: Yes, she will.
She threw three temari at Nezuko and Yushiro each which Nezuko tried to kick.
Yushiro: Don't!
Tamayo: You can't kick them!
It got off her foot which caused her to fall down and Susamaru kicked her back into the house.
Susamaru: Honestly, this is really too much fun! Are we playing kick ball? Yahaba, you think four heads and a prisoner will be enough to take home?
Yahaba: Too many. We only need two. Demon Slayer and the Fugitive. We have no use for the others. But we do still need bird boy here alive.
Y/n: (Thinking: Why kill them, but only keep me alive? I'm out to kill Muzan, too.)
Tamayo was helping Nezuko.
Tamayo: (Thinking: Oh, no. The bleeding isn't stopping. She recovers slowly.)
She pulled out a syringe.
Tamayo: Here, take this medicine. It'll help your leg heal faster.
Back with Tanjiro and Y/n's fight.
Y/n: All right, no I have a pretty good idea of how your Blood Demon Art works, I think we can beat him.
Tanjiro: Care to share your plan with me?
Y/n: When the time comes, you'll know what to do.
Yahaba: I'd very much like to see this plan of yours.
Yahaba closed his hand eyes and a bunch of arrows came at them.
Y/n: Wind Breathing, First Form: Dust Whirlwind Cutter.
Y/n made his sky blue whirlwind which consumed the arrows.
Y/n: Now, use the Sixth Form, Tanjiro.
Tanjiro understood and he used Whirlpool to consume the arrows and Y/n's whirlwind which made the whirlpool go faster.
Y/n: Now, use the footwork of the Third Form.
Tanjiro used his footwork to completely change the arrows course.
Tanjiro: Twisting Whirlpool, Flowing Water!
Yahaba used more arrows which got caught up in Tanjiro's Whirlpool whirlwind.
Tanjiro: My sword is heavy!
Y/n: Use that weight to cut that son of a bitch's head off.
Tanjiro: Second Form, Improved: Lateral Water Wheel!
Tanjiro slashed Yahaba's neck vertically and cut his head off.

Preview.
Tanjiro: Those demons are strong! That temari arrow combination is nothing but trouble!
Y/n: I will admit that, but I find it pathetic that after we split them up, they became that much easier to defeat. Are you okay, Nezuko?
Nezuko mumbled she was fine.
Y/n: Good. The mere thought of anything happening to either you or Tanjiro fills my heart with a great amount of pain.
Tanjiro: Aw, Y/n.
Y/n: You guys are my friends, I'll protect you both.
Tanjiro: Thanks. Anyway. Today, I have a Taisho-era secret that's about those two demons. Yahaba and Susamaru met for the first time today. I heard they became friends just by chatting with each other on the way here. I can't believe how much in sync they are when they only just met.
Y/n: That story reminds me of two other friends.
Tanjiro: Who?
Y/n: Why us of course. We talk once and decided we were going to be friends. Plus, our teamwork is just as great, if not even better than there's.
Tanjiro: Yeah, I guess you're right. Next, Chapter 10, "Together Forever!"
Y/n: You hang tight. Now that we killed Yahaba, we can help you with Susamaru.
To Be Continued.
