Lil special note <3: the reason why this episode is called 99 degrees Fahrenheit is because it's (99 degrees Fahrenheit) is the temperature of the human heart


A letter passed through the air, finding its way to Giyu. (just imagine in this case it is a beige coloured paper scroll with bloodstains on it) 

It read: "9:34 pm, meet me at the training groun-" --> last bit was cut off

Giyu's face showed tints of worries as he folded up the letter. Muzan. It was from Muzan. 

y/n looked back at Giyu, finding his face no longer lively, but...pale. 

I reached my hand forwards, reaching out to touch his face. "Whatever happens, whoever's going to die, we will make it through together." I gave him a comforting smile. But also knowing what I'm saying might not be true. We might not make it through together. 


"y/n, stay away k? I'll be back in a sec." 

I didn't want to trouble him so I agreed, but my curiosity just simply cannot hold me back. I decided to watch from the top of a building. 


Tomioka POV

I saw Muzan. He didn't change at all. Still with that solemn, sly laugh and the cold, lifeless eyes. 

MICHAEL JACKSON IS BACK 🌚🌚🌚🌚

"look who it is~ the descendant of the water pillar. How's your life been? I sure see you happy after you murdered your best friend Sabito... have you told that to your precious y/n yet~ you sure she will still love you when you murdered her brother? You sure she will still care about you?"

Giyu's face was completely blank. His soul was washed away by Muzan's words. 

"I'm surprised you still managed to live 'til this day. How dare you even smile after murdering someone" 

Muzan showed no expression. Just joy seeing Giyu's soulless face. 

"First form, Water Surface Slash (The swordsman generates enough momentum to create a powerful single concentrated slash.)"


y/n POV

There he goes ma boi 🥰 

Giyu's fighting style was always so delicate and elegant, it was like he was dancing while fighting. 

He sliced Muzan's right arm off, only for it to regenerate back again. 

"Rough technique, I say, my boy, gotta improve your balance. Now... It's my turn"

"Black Blood: Brambles"

Strikes forced themselves straight at Giyu's body, causing him to bleed as they stripped blood from their tips. Giyu was fast. That's how he dodged them. 

"Demon Whips (Muzan can stretch his arms and grow several sharp blades in his extended forearms and shapeshift his hands into several bladed protrusions, which he could then swing like whips to easily tear his opponents to pieces. )"

Muzan really seemed invincible at this point. Giyu couldn't even keep up by using his own techniques. He was fast. But not as fast as Muzan. Not NEARLY as fast as Muzan. 

Blood was rushing from his head, his body and his legs (basically everywhere). I really couldn't bear it any longer. But the words Tomioka Kun told me before lingered in my brain. I knew I couldn't help. At least, not right now.

Giyu was now bleeding EVERYWHERE he was literally losing too much blood. I had to help him. AND THEN I REMEMBERED. I knew deep down. In order for Tomioka Kun to kill Muzan, I needed to repeat the same steps, my ancestor, Shinobu did. 


accumulate poison.


AND THEN I found a new y/n. Both mentally and physically. I was much braver than before. I was not afraid to sacrifice myself. I was ready.

I knew I had everything ready. 


"MUZAN"

he turned around. Almost PLEASED to see me. 

"my my~ isn't this... Giyu's beloved?"

Giyu looked very puzzled. Frightened might've been a better word. 

"Why are you here?" seemed to shine across his sapphire eyes. 

Before I could lead myself to respond to either of their questions, I dashed myself to Muzan.

"Dance of the Centipede: Hundred-Legged Zigzag"

he dodged it perfectly. only for the attack to touch his arms. 

"Not bad I say. Quite a feisty one too. I'd watch out for her. Water Pillar." 

Tomioka Kun didn't even bother to respond. 

I strike another attack at him. He dodged once more. And then again. And he dodged again. And then again. And then he dodged again. My stamina couldn't keep up. Before I knew it I half collapsed onto the ground. Tomioka caught me. I smiled at him. 

"Looks like I'm about to break the promise, Tomioka Kun. Finish him for me. Giyu. Once more, I'm sorry. Please forgive me and remember me." 

GIYU COULDN'T SAY A WORD. He knew what I meant. This is the farewell. 

I forced myself to Muzan. Battling once more. But soon collapsing in his hands. 

"I haven't had a women's blood for ages. Do you have any last words, y/n san?"

"Go die in hell lunatic. For the good will never lose against the evil. Because we have something you will never have. A heart to forgive. A heart willing for sacrifice."

Muzan was PISSED. But gave a slight smile instead. 

"Giyu. Any last words?" 

"y/n CHAN! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! YOU MADE A PROMISE RIGHT! NO ONE WILL DIE! MUZAN! LET GO OF HER RIGHT NOW! WHAT DO YOU WANT? I'LL GIVE EVERYTHING I HAVE TO YOU! JUST LET GO OF Y/N!!!!" 

At this point, Giyu was pouring with tears. I've never seen him cry. But I had to be brave. 

"Have me. Muzan. If it's for the sake to end Tomioka Kun's sadness. Then, have me." 

"PLEASE FORGIVE ME GIYU!" 

and with that. I close my eyes for the last time. But I knew. My job, my body, it was far from complete. The fun starts here. For when Muzan devours me, he devoured 36kg of poison. Enough to kill anyone. 

I hope Giyu forgives me...



I realised. I'm not dead. I will be. But not yet. Soon. I wonder how long I can last...


Tomioka POV

I completely froze. y/n chan. Why? Why her? Why was I so powerless? Couldn't I move when Muzan did all of this? And then I noticed. It wasn't sadness inside me. 

It was anger. 

Then I realised. A water ripple like mark appeared on my left cheek. 

I could see everything clearly now. 

And now Muzan in front of me... was almost a thin body and a head. 

*SLASH* 

Muzan was dead. All thanks to y/n.

A cling as I moved forward. 

y/n chan's hairpin. 

then... 

y/n chan's body. 

"Tomi- Ku-"

I heard a soft voice coming out of y/n's body.

"Sorry I broke your promi-"

"I'm going to be dead soon so I'll just summon this up quic-"

"I lov- yo-"

Then her voice became only a squeal. 

"forgive-m(e)"

I put my finger next to y/n chan's nose. 




It was only the winter's last gentle breeze. 





I broke myself. The overwhelming sadness came rushing out of the jar containing it inside me. I lost it. 

COMPLETELY 

LOST 

IT.


Y/N CHAN!

Y/N CHAN! 

Y/N CHAN!!!!

WAKE UP Y/N CHAN! 

I.. I'LL GIVE YOU YOUR FAVOURITE TYPE OF STRAWBERRY MILK! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME! COME WITH ME! STAY WITH ME! 


I...

I... 

NEED YOU.

BY MY SIDE. 

FOREVER!


Yet again. I'm always the one being protected. I'm always the one who doesn't die. I'm again, the only whose been left behind.

y/n's close fist became relaxed. 

There was writing. 

"Don't forget me, Tomioka Kun! We'll reunite soon. Until then, keep it up!" 


and 


"I love you. Forever and ever. I'll dream about you when I leave! Wait for me!"



A flower began to bloom. A new spring is coming. 



A new spring without you... is coming.
