"Wuaaaah it's so pretty here (y/n)-chan!"

Ema said in an ecstatic tone, it was almost as if she's never been outside before!

"Uh yeah y-you're right."

"Hmmmm hey (y/n)-san, do you know what demon we're facing?"

"No not r-really, I'm not really here to fight it e-either I'm just here to ensure your safety o-on your first mission."

Spoke the elder of the two.

Ehhhhhh (y/n)-san isn't fighting it?? Well I guess that gives me more chance to show her my moves! I hope I don't mess up.

Ema thought while looking proud. Though she may be scared, she still wants to show off in front of the wisteria pillar herself.

"H-hey Ema we're getting close so get ready."

The sun was setting, the orange hue covered the field the two were in.

"(Y/n)-san... I'm scared."

Ema said, her voice was shaky, she looked petrified.

"H-hey it's okay I'm here."

(Y/n) put her hand on ema's shoulder, giving her a reassuring smile. The sun was going down more, the field turned orange to a dark blue.

"Come on l-lets go."

The two walked deeper into the field, the grass was getting taller and taller, so tall that (y/n) couldn't see ema anymore.

"AHHHHH"

"E-EMA WH-"

(Y/n) felt something grab her leg. Pulling her to the ground!

AHHH WHAT THE FUCK.

(Y/n) gets dragged across the the ground, creating a few bruises and scratches on her face. Eventually she was flung in the air, only to be caught by long elastic hands.

"Wohoho two demon slayers! I'm going to have a feast tonight."

Said the demon, licking their lips. (Y/n) looked over to ema, seeing her crying she knew that ema wasn't ready to be a demon slayer. She may of passed the test, but she's not ready.

"EMA REMEMBER YOUR TOTAL CONCENTRATION I-I TAUGHT YOU!"

The pillar screamed at ema, preparing their next move.

"Breath of wisteria Third form: The illusion of beauty."

(Y/n) spun around of fast that it made her look like a flower from above, her blade and haori looking like the petals, while her (h/c) hair made it look like the pistil.

The pillar spun into the arm of the demon that she was currently fighting. The enlarged and elongated arm fell off right off, causing the demon to drop ema with the other arm in pain. (Y/n) runs over to ema, to make sure she's okay.

"E-Ema are you okay??"

"Ughhhh yeah I'm just a bit dizzy."

"Okay well s-stay here and rest I'll finish t-"

"NO!"

What does she mean no?? There's nothing wrong with me killing demons right? Did I do something wrong?

"Okay"

(Y/n)'s tone was concerned. She didn't want ema to hurt herself more. Ema stood up, her legs were shaky and she almost fell over. The pillar tried to help her, but she refused. By this point the demons hand had already regenerated.

"Breath of fire first form: unknowing fire"

Ema tried to speed at the demon, but her legs were injured so the move failed, with it only resulting in a shallow cut on the chest.

"Ahah! What a weak demon slayer, you're gonna be pretty tasty!"

The demon said, taunting the ginger.

"SHUT UP, I AM NOT WEAK."

Ema then did multiple slashes, that made it look like a tiger. (Y/n) assumed it was the fifth form, based on what rengoku use to tell her. The demon was now bleeding out, it would take hours for they to recover at this point. Being the kind person Ema put him out of his misery.

"Látom"

"T-that.... THAT WAS SO COOL EMA! ESPECIALLY FOR YOUR FIRST DEMON!"

(Y/n) ran up to the ginger, who was huffing and puffing. Before she could hug her, she dropped to the ground. Her legs weren't able to carry her weight anymore so she collapsed.

"Hey (y/n)-san... I did good right?"

"Mhm! Y-you did great even better than when I first started."

"I see. Well that's good!"

Ema laid there for a bit, not really knowing what to do now.

"Hey (y/n)-san?"

"Yeah?"

"I can't walk."

The hashira gave an oh noise before picking Ema up, plopping her on her back. The fire user was Red in the face from embarrassment.

"Well let's g-go!"

The two walked in the night, with the ginger fading in and out of conscience. The pillar made sure to slow her pace so she wouldn't keep the girl awake.

The walk back too all night, the two ended up getting back at dawn. (Y/n) left ema in the butterfly estate, while she went to go get some rest.

3rd person (red lights district)

"Six, the weakest upper moon."

Obanai said in disappointment.

"The six thing aside we should be celebrating, you beat and upper moon. We should be celebrating!"

"I should praise you or something."

The serpent pillar spoke, with a hint of sarcasm. The 3 wives then joined the conversation, talking on how he was late. Obanai wasn't done though.

"What were you thinking? Losing your left arm and eye."

"How long will it take for to recover? Who'll take your place while you do that."

The man pointed at tengen. Excepting him to return to demon slaying, but how could he possibly? He's missing an arm!

"I'm retiring, man. I just can't fight anymore. Oyakata-sama will probably let me."

The former sound pillar said, closing his eye.

"Well I won't allow that. Too many young slayers are dying without any signs of growth. Not many can take your position."

Before obanai could say anything else tengen spoke.

"No, the young ones are definitely growing. Especially the one you despise."

He said with a smirk. Looking at obanai now.

"Oh wow. He survived?"

The pillars then sent their crows to tell oyakata-sama of the good and bad news.

"Caw caw"

"Oh great! They defeated an upper moon."

"...amazing job tengen, tanjirou, nezuko, zenitsu and Inosuke."

Although the master was Currently having a coughing attack, with blood coming from his mouth. He was still filled with hope, hope that the world is finally going to change. His family surrounded the man.

"Muzan! We will finally be able to defeat you in our generation! You are the single blemish on our family!"

They were on the track to defeating muzan. With only 6 upper moons left! Although people may not want to admit it, no one was sure if oyakata would see that promised day. Where the fear of kibutsuji muzan is lifted. Will oyakata see that day?
