A recap of last chapter... in Shinobu's POV...

Apparently I was last to wake up when I heard a crash coming through my wall. Usually I was a light sleeper but tonight might have been an exception since I had a harsh mission the day before. But as I was woken up I heard someone or something say something related to blood demon art. All of my assistants came running in and yelling at me that there was an intruder and that they were eating the fish. That really pissed me off. I did not want my fish to be eaten so I grabbed all my things and got ready for what I assumed another fight that might also be with a bear but when I got out to the courtyard I saw a... something with a maroon haori with stars shining in the moonlight and a mask, it was black with white outline to where the eyes were. The person looked at me and then threw a kunai at my leg then ran away. The weapon hurt like hell and then I took it out and quickly bandaged it up and wrapped my leg and then went after the creature that dared to attack me.

~~onto the actual chapter!~~

(Y/N)'s POV...

I had to run super fast. No stopping was allowed. I had nine, half asleep, and all angry hashiras chasing after me. But I knew if I wanted to live I would have to lead them into the palace and let them fight the moons. I had no idea what Muzan wanted me to do at that point like they fought. But I knew that this was the highest priority. But then as I was running I heard an angry voice boom out from behind me. I knew this voice, absolutely, it was that wind pillar's voice. "You there!! Why are you making us chase you, you filthy demon!? Do you want us to catch you!" I smirked under my mask and sort of let out a laugh. I was unsure why but I always knew that my humor was broken from the start(AN:This is just the author exposing herself in her own story). "Well I'm glad you asked. Just keep following me, I will bring you into the palace. That is where you want to be." The wind pillar growled and shouted back, "Why do you hide your face coward!" I was starting to get pissed off by his voice so I shouted back at him, "You keep asking too many questions. Quit it." He yelled back and demanded I bow down or apologize to him but I refused. He was thinking that he had power over me but he had no idea what was inscribed on my irises. All of a sudden I saw a door appear in front of me. The door flew open and I jumped into the air. The Hashiras were unable to stop in time and flew inside and the door slammed close. I was levitating in the air when I felt the presence of Muzan creeping up behind me. I stopped floating and fell to my knees bowing to him. I could just feel his smile towards me and he told me to rise. "You know, I always liked you the best because you would always kneel in respect." I smiled under my mask due to the compliment and then I asked him what my next task was in the final battle. He told me as he would battle off the head of the demon slayer corps I would need to get rid of the rest of his disciples. I nodded and knew where to go first. I needed to go back to the butterfly estate to get Tanjiro, Inozuke, and Zenitsu out of this mess. Especially Tanjiro. I didn't want him to get hurt. As I arrived more stars came out and I smiled towards the sky. I quickly slipped back inside from the hole I had made earlier and crept into their rooms. When I passed through Inozuke and Zenitsu's rooms I didn't see them. Then I heard a booming voice in my mind, "Finish the Hanafuda boy for me, that is your task. Your real task. The other slayers have become fish food." I shook his voice out of my head and woke Tanjiro up gently. His eyes slowly opened and when he looked up at me I was still wearing my mask. His hands lifted themselves up and they slowly removed my mask and showed my face. He looked up at me and his eyes began to sparkle, I swear. "(Y/N), take off your mask more often." "I would love to but I have a feeling the sun will rise soon so I must wear it to protect myself." But the thing is, I never put it back on. "(Y/N) I want to tell you something..." "Tanjiro I want to tell you a million things but right now I need you to get up. Our lives are on the line. Muzan is attacking and the final battle has already began." "What really!? Why was I sleeping?!" "Because you are my final obstacle." I stopped hiding my irises from him. He was shocked beyond measure. He backed himself up all the way to a wall and looked at me in disbelief. "Explain yourself. Please... before you do something to me, or eat me..." His body began to tremble. I didn't actually want to do this at all. This was cruel, but if I did it I would be rewarded and not killed. "Tanjiro I would never eat you, I only eat people when I am forced to do so." "Well then explain yourself! I trusted you and now you come back with the Kanji of a Twelve Kizuki!? Just explain so I know what I'm fighting for!" Tears were brimming at his eyes and his anger and sadness was tearing at my heartstrings. I did not want to fight him. "Tanjiro, I am being completely honest right now, I bet you can smell the truth coming off of me. Look, this whole mess started after I arrived at the mountain. I nearly killed a demon but then a lower moon, the one you saw, he got mad and attacked me, but I was a target for Muzan. So he took me and fought me. And he proposed a deal, I learn my demon art and in turn I offer him protection of some sort. I didn't take the deal at first but after going on trial and being sentenced to gardening in the sun I took it trying to hold onto my life for as long as I could. That was why I had those burns. Not from a long time ago, those were fairly fresh scars." "I-I had no idea that the Hashiras put you on trial." "They hated me so much for no reason, they even made a wanted poster for me. And when I saw it I felt honored. But that's not the point. The point is that I took his deal and now here we are. This is just an order but I have no idea how far I can take this one." Tanjiro looked at me and I looked back at him and he totally understood me. He understood I was speaking from the heart and he felt that I was hurting. But as my love for Tanjiro grew I felt these memories coming back. One of them being a cake shining bright for some reason on a specific day. I think it may have been my birthday. Then it all started rushing back to me. "Tanjiro, what day is it?" "(y/b/d)..? Why?" And right as he finished his thought I felt that same aura again. Then all of a sudden my face was slammed into the estates floor. I lifted my face up and looked up at Muzan Kitsubuji's face. His eyes burning with anger. "You disobeyed me. Truly is sad though, you were special. You had memories of being human. No demon had ever achieved that." "M-m-master?" "I am not your master anymore. You are dead to me."
