"Concentrate." He says tapping Tanjiro's head. "Good job. This is one of many steps towards becoming a Hashira." Suddenly a demon crashes in. "Flame Breathing, Rising Scorching Sun." "Nice Katana." The demon proclaimed. "Why would such a strong Oni go after the injured?" "I was afraid he would interrupt our conversation." "Say what you want but I already hate you." "I am Akaza I would like to ask you to be an Oni." "No thank you." "Why not? You'll eventually grow old and die." "Growing old and passing away is what gives life beauty. Strength does not always come in physical form."

Kristine catches up. "Fine then. I'll kill you while you are young and strong." He quickly attacks him, breaking his ribs. Afterwards his right eye gets crushed. She drew her revolver firing at Akaza. "What is this?" "Kristine, get back with the passengers." "No." "I'm not letting you die." "Hahaha, Kyojuro I'm a gentleman. I would never harm this delicate little flower." This enrages her further. She shoots him in the torso, kicks him in the groin and elbows him in the face. "How the hell are you an upper moon when you don't have the balls to fight a girl?!" He holds her against a tree. "Be grateful, bitch. There are so many Oni out there that would love to eat your pretty face."

"I'd rather face them than a misogynistic coward like you!" She takes her knife stabbing him in his right eye as hard as she could. Kyojuro slices his arm and takes her. "Get back with the passengers." "No, he stated himself that he won't harm me. If I'm with you, you won't die." "You could still be killed by accident." "Let that be." "No, my job is to keep you and the others safe." "He's too powerful for you. Look at you. You're badly injured. How are you going to protect us when you need medical attention? This seems bad even by your standards." "And what let this demon kill others?" "You can't win every mission. Sometimes you need to make compromises like this. I'm fine with dying."

"I won't let you. I won't ever." "I don't care anymore! I have nothing to live for." "You do." "No, my dad is dying. I can't come back here because of that. I won't ever see you again as a result." Tears fall "That's what was bugging you so much?" "Yes, I would rather die than be back in that godforsaken town. I would rather die than watch my dad's death, I'd rather die than leave you."

"You know he wouldn't want this. I wouldn't want this." "Then tell him I died doing what he taught me. I died doing what was right. I was happier here than I ever was at that town." Akaza punches him in the back. "I believe your little conversation is over now. Focus all your energy on me Kyojuro." A few minutes later, "Oh God he'll get skewered. She goes as fast as she can, getting between them.

"Kristine!" "L-L-Let m-my death. Be a spit in your face." "You're dying? We can't be having that now. Can we?" He takes her unconscious form. "Let me show you the power of the demon." "Get your fucking hands off of her." He slashes him in the stomach. Akaza throws her up as he continues to be sliced. He catches her again as his blood drips into her mouth and wounds. "How great. You're making her transformation faster."

She starts to convulse. "Fuck, bastard." He grabs his arm. "Let go of me!" "You're fucking dead now!" "Inosuke, No!" The boar goes up cutting his arms off. Meanwhile inside her mind. "Hahaha how fitting." said Enmu "You became a demon." "Go to hell." She tries to grab the demon but suddenly she feels a burning sensation. "Shit!" "I guess my death won't be such a nightmare after all. You little bitch." She could see herself burning.

"Fuck you. Burn in hell." "Don't worry I'll be waiting in hell for you." Enmu continues laughing as flames consume him. "Kristine. Kristine. Where are you?" "Yaunping!" "Now you decide to call me by my real name?!" "Doesn't matter get back with the passengers." "Not without Kristine." "I'll handle Kristine." "I would if I were you before you fail again." She stands up. "Fuck what is happening to me? Why do I feel so hungry?" "Kristine don't worry. I've got you. Let's-" Suddenly she bites down on Yaunping's shoulder.

"No, you need to stop." She thought. "But I'm so hungry." "Gah! Oh my god!" "She's been turned." "We'll meet again Kyojuro." Akaza runs off but not before Tanjiro throws his sword stabbing him in the heart. Kristine gets on top of Yaunping. "Ahh!" She smacks her. "Kristine. Stop it's me, Yaunping. Remember? Fight it! Fight it!" Tears began to fall from her eyes. "Must ignore it. But I'm so hungry." Kyojuro tackles her putting his sword in her mouth. "Get a basket for her. Boar find some meat. Kamado go find a piece of bamboo." "Of course." Yaunping finds a basket with Inosuke picking up a rat. "God damn it, Kristine. Why must you be so stubborn?" "Here's a rat."
