In Chapter 7~

The three boys looked over at Y/n as she lay a finger on her lip. The rustling of leaves caught their attention as they crouched at a defensive posture, hands at the tilt of their sword. Their eyes scanned their surroundings before laying a single person who seemed to be... walking? The way he walked was stiff as if it was forced... and as the person came closer Y/n saw more emerging from the shadows...

______________________________________________________________

The so called "people" if that's what you could call them anymore rushed awkwardly towards them before swinging its blade down to the closest person. Soon the rest followed in doing the same.  

'This is troublesome' Y/n thought as she dodged another incoming swipe of a blade. 

"Remember, they're being manipulated by threads... strings. They're not moving the way they're suppose to, you can see the perplexing movements through each of them," Y/n reminded them. 

"Who even is she?" The guy yelled frantically, at the same time admiring her grace and beauty. 

"That is none of your business," Y/n muttered before her hand swiftly hit a pressure point on the neck causing one of the 'bodies' to fall down. 

'So there's no point even if they are unconscious' Y/n thought as the body just stood back up, its limbs twisting in an inhumanly way before its body was hoisted into its fighting stance. She then proceeded to cut the threads of the body and the body finally slumped to the ground. 

"The threads," Y/n called out. "Try cutting them!" 

The boys had started to work efficiently as they cut thorough the threads, bodies finally crashing onto the ground. 

Y/n let out a distasteful tch as her face scrunched up in pure annoyance. Either way the bodies were heaved upwards once more. 

"Its not good enough to just cut the threads! The spiders are just gonna stick more strings onto them! So-," Tanjirou's words were cut off by him covering his nose at another sickening smell. 

"So all we got to do is kill those spiders?" Inosuke stated, unsheding his blade. One arm raised up above his hands and another outstretched. 

"That would be impossible," Tanjirou pointed out. "They're small and I'm sure there are tons of them! We got to find the demon who's controlling them!"

"Inosuke," Y/n called out to the boar-boy who had aggressively started to stab the tiny spiders one by one. "You have the power that can pinpoint demon's locations don't you? Use it,"

"Tanjirou... the other guy-," 

"It's Murata!" Murata answered as he swung his sword. 

"Okay, Tanjirou, Murata and I will find a way to deal with these people being controlled so you should-," 

Y/n's words slowed down as she looked up, her eyes catching a young boy who seemed to be floating in the air. White skin with red dots, hair was pale pink that reminded her of a spider's legs. The sclera of his eyes were red whilst his irises were pale blue. His speaking demeanour reminded Y/n of a child missing his parents... but his voice was mature... not high pitched at all.

"Don't disturb my family's peaceful life. Mother will kill you all right away," 

"Mother?" Tanjirou repeated but the boy had already started walking away. 

"What the hell! Come back! Fight me!" Inosuke yelled out as he jumped towards him, missing him by a centimetre. 

"So back to what I was saying. Inosuke could you please try to find where the demon is locat-," Before Y/n could finish her sentence she felt her body jack up and she felt the cold breeze as she was flung further deep into the forest. 

"Y/n-san!" Tanjirou yelled but his voice was swept away by the wind.

"Do as I say!"  

Y/n landed in a small clearing and she grimaced as she saw herself almost covered in spider thread. She quickly cut if all off before she felt her senses react abnormally. The air chilled suddenly to a degree where Y/n let out a puff of white smoke as she breathed out. She gazed around her surroundings taking everything in... never miss a single detail.

'Funny,' She thought.

There was no particular bright light in sight, apart from the moon that let out a mysterious gleam. But how was that the shadows seemed to move around... dancing and almost-

Before Y/n could act there was a sudden darkness over her as the gleam of the moon abruptly stopped, and an eerie shadow loomed over her.

Y/n looked up towards the demon as it smiled at her. 

"A girl!" It sung. Its hair denied her any chance of knowing what the demon looked like nor where its eyes were looking, but Y/n knew that the demon was looking right into hers.  

"A demon," Y/n unenthusiastically cheered. 

 "What's a small girl like you doing here?" It asked as it chuckled.

"I could ask the same for you," Y/n trailed off. "How did you hide yourself this well?" 

The demon's razor sharp teeth beamed in the moonlight as it's long tongue stuck out. 

"What do you mean?" The demon asked as it smiled. 

"Your strong... stronger than the ones here... so how did you hide your presence so well in front of all these other demons?" Y/n asked once more.

"But obviously it was not enough," The demon muttered out spitefully.

"...Well, yes because I sensed you," 

Y/n closed her eyes in thought to when Tanjirou had covered his nose with a sickly smell which Y/n had also caught... but there was something else hidden within the icky smell that Y/n had caught. 

She opened her eyes when she felt a threatening aura coming from the demon. 

"Well then! I just need to devour you to become stronger!!" The demon laughed before lunging towards her. 

Y/n's pole like weapon flashed from her haori causing the demon to recoil back, sceptically looking at her.

"You... You're a demon slayer?" He asked accusingly before he sneered. "Demon Slayers have swords right? Not some lousy wooden pole... you must be weak!~" 

Y/n wasted no time once realising the demon had dropped its guard before she swiped again. But the demon dodged beneath her in which she spun and kicked its extended claws away, sending him sprawling. The demon hissed at her after he scrambled onto his feet again. 

"You're no match for me!" It spat out bearing its claws. But before it had time to blink Y/n was already in a stance...she was ready. 

"Light breathing, Second form; thousand beams of Sun," 

A gush of light started to glow on the sharp blade that had all over sudden appeared on the top of the pole. They looked sharp and ferocious as if needles made of hot light were sticking out.  Y/n's left foot shuffled back before she advanced, the sword hitting her target's neck as the demon yowled. The light grew brighter before the demon's neck had severed itself from its neck and Y/n's sword had slashed/connected. Y/n looked down to the sharp beads of light as they were fading, the demon had been fully turned to ash. 

A sudden name caught her attention almost as if snapping her from a trance. Her head snapped back towards the direction of where the voice came from.

"Nezuko! Run!" 

Tanjirou's voice echoed through the woods and Y/n immediately followed to where the voice was. As she was perched up on a tree she looked down to see a young girl following Nezuko around. Nezuko had turned herself into the size of a small child as she ran. The attacker was wearing what seemed to be a Demon Slayer uniform, slightly purple tinted. She had large pink-lilac eyes that were framed by thick eyelashes and her hair was worn into a ponytail on the right side of her head. She looked gently and kind... other than the fact that she was swinging her sword at Nezuko who wasn't even trying to attack her.

"Demon Slayers," Y/n chorused out sarcastically before she jumped down. The attacker had slightly jumped back in surprise as Y/n had protectively stood in front of Nezuko, shielding her. 

"Stay back," Y/n calmly warned. 

"Who...?" 

Y/n saw the girl shake her head not completing her sentence before she moved her sword in front and swung it down. Y/n raised an eyebrow before she glared at the female. Not bothered to use her weapon she raised a fist to strike down... her eyes showed the reflection of the girls surprised face. Yes... Her speed is quite impressive.

"Message! Message! CAW!" A crow cawed halting Y/n's movements, her fist was a millimetre away from the girls face and she let out a shaky breathe she had been holding in. "I have a message from headquarters! Tanjirou, Nezuko and the woman with black hair with golden streaks are to be taken into custody and brought back to headquarters!"
