-It was bad. That was an understatement at the moment.

The dust parted just enough for Tanjiro to see what happened, but he had no words. He was going through emotional shock at the moment.

"Your gonna die Hashira! Become a demon!"

Two arms penetrated through Kyojuro's torso, he should be dead. But he's will was keeping him alive, for now.

"What's your decision? You don't have much time left in you!" M/n yelled maniacally.

Rengoku didn't say anything, as he gripped his sword and tried to slice Akaza's head off.

"Akaza!" M/n yelled, worried for his friend. But then his eyes widened as they both saw the sun was starting to rise.

'I lost track of time after getting into battle! I forgot to warn Akaza that it was gonna be dawn so soon!' M/n yelled in his head.

Akaza tried to get his fist out from Kyojuro's abdomen, but it was stuck. M/n managed to get his arm out, then cut off Akaza's arm then ran away.

As they were running in the forest, Tanjiro threw his blade into M/n's chest with Hinokami Kagura.

Tanjiro started to yell at the both of them with a lot of emotion, Akaza heard it and a vine popped out of his temple. While to M/n, it only fell on deaf ears.

When M/n got back to the fortress, his destroyed the blade that stuck in his chest. Those pesky Slayers meant nothing to him.

He can destroy them easily, but he doesn't want his friends to get hurt because of it.

He has talked to Slayers before, and they asked him why he became a demon. Why he became a monster to humanity.

And his response would be "Huh? Fuck Humanity! Being a demon is so much better! Your free! You can do whatever you what!"

But deep down, he knew why he was still alive in the first place.

It wasn't because of wanting to serve Muzan.

It wasn't because he hated being trapped in one place.

It was because of him.

Him. And only him.

"Upper Moon One saved my life. He's the reason I'm still alive at all."

"But seriously though, fuck humanity."

"Hey Koku~ I'm back~"

M/n looked inside the room, Kokushibo was just facing the wall. Not doing anything else.

Kokushibo has all six of his eyes closed, sitting in silence comforts him a bit. But as soon he heard M/n's voice rang out, his eyes snapped open.

"I got something for ya!" M/n then skipped over to the six eyed male.

He took out the necklace out of his pocket, putting the necklace on Kokushibo around his neck.

Then M/n hugged Kokushibo from behind, clinging to him like a koala. Using his hair a fluffy pillow.

*sniff* 'his hair smells like Oreos?'

-time skip-

"Where are you....going?" Kokushibo asked.

"Red light district? Why?"

"Why?"

"I wanna see Gyutaro."

"Oh ok."
