If Only

Chapter 3: Fighting Alongside a Friend

((Y/N) Pov):

"Hello. Hikaru- sama?" I called out. "Anybody home?"

"Well, well, well what do we have here?" A bone chilling voice responded. I froze. It was him. The demon that killed my family.

"(Y/N)? Are you okay?" Muichiro- kun asked me and touch my shoulder to comfort me.

"It's him." I gulped "He is the demon we are hunting down." I said nearly falling onto my knees.

I can't believe it. I don't want to believe it. He killed them. He was the one that made me an orphan.

"I thought that I had killed you that day along with your family. If that pink haired brat hadn't come to save you, you would be in my stomach all cozy with your family." He spat. "You want to join them don't you?" He looked at me with menacing eyes the made my (E/C) eyes water with anger. "If you become a demon, you can be with them forever."

Muichiro- kun looked at me then the demon with utter confusion. "(Y/N), what does he mean?" 

I was furious. He stood there, boasting about how he had killed them. "I will never become someone who steals loved ones from others!" I shouted and ran with my blade ready to strike him.

"Third Form, Ice Shard Attack!" The air irrupted with knife sharp ice shards. They attack the demon with extreme speed and strength. About ten out of the hundred shards pieced his flesh.

(Muichiro Pov):

It was the first time I had seen (Y/N)'s breathing style. "It's elegant and beautiful like her, yet the precision and strength in incredible." Muichiro thought. "Wait, why so I think she is beautiful? Ugh whatever. I have to help (Y/N)." 

"Fourth Form Shifting Flow Slash!" I cried out and attacked the demon. I was able to cut in half, but at the same time, the demon attacked me. I felt pain in my neck, and the demon cackled.

"Hahaha. Human filth. You will die!! My Demon Blood Art is that when I wound someone, even a Hashira can't stop the bleeding!"

"Shit! I have to help her!" I tried to stand up, but more blood flowed from the side of my neck. 

"Stay there! Muichiro- kun tell your crow to call Kocho- san and bring some medicine to help heal you! Until she comes, don't move!" (Y/N) called to me.

I obeyed her orders and lay down in a corner, but so I could still see the fight.

(One Hour Later)

((Y/N) Pov)

"I can't do it any longer. My wounds are getting worse and he keeps tormenting me about my families deaths."

I feel tears rolling down my cheeks and Muichiro- kun called out to me worried. When the demon was about to kill me, Kocho- san came.

"Ara~ara what happened here?" She looked at the both of us and took over the fight while I rested for a few minuets.

"Hey (Y/N)? Muichiro- kun asked me.

"Hey you shouldn't speak." She told me as I began coughing blood. "I'm fine. Just promise me that you will not die, because if you do, then I won't have a purpose to live anymore."

I looked at him and smiled with all my might. "I promise Muichiro- kun!" And I ran to assist Kocho- san.

(Before sunrise)

(Muichiro Pov):

(Y/N) and Kocho- san were sitting on the floor panting from the fight. Blood covered the floor from the fight, and I could see (Y/N) covered in wounds looking at me.

"We did it Muichiro- kun, Kocho- san." (Y/N) said and looked at me and Kocho with tears pouring down her face.

(Shinobu Pov):

"Muichiro- kun's wound  is deep. I have to take them both to my estate. Aoi and Kanao can help me tending their wounds."

"Excuse me. Kocho- san?" I heard a faint voice calling my name. 

"Yes (L/N)- chan?" I looked at her. She was leaning on a wall next to Tokito- kun.

"There is a girl my age called Sato Chisaki and her aunt, Sato Yui. Chisaki is my best friend, so if you need any help, ask her and tell her that I told you to call you." She told me.

"Thank you (L/N)- chan" I replied. 

 I called Chisaki- chan and her aunt to help me carry the two , just as (Y/N)- chan had instructed me to do.

(At Shinobu's estate)

((Y/N) Pov):

I woke up to see a roof of a building I had never been in.

"Hello?" I called out.

"(Y/N)? Is that you? Are you okay?" I hear Muichiro- kun calling out to me.

"Muichiro- kun!" I saw him in the bed next to me. I tried to stand up, but fell of the floor.

"Are you ok?" Muichiro- kun asked me and helped me up.

"I'm fine. How about you?"

"Surprisingly alive, thanks to you and Kocho." He said and smiled.

I couldn't stop myself, I put my hands on his face and I kissed his neck were the wound was.

"Wha-What are you doing?" Muichiro- kun asked me blushing furiously.

"Have you never heard of kissing it better?" I asked blushing.

"Well yeah.."

"And it's my fault that you got  hurt. If had been a bit more stronger, then I could have protected you. I'm sorry Muichiro- kun." I said and I felt my eyes start to water.

Just then, the door flew open and a breathless Kanroji- san stood there with a look of pure triumph on her face, and an exasperated yet happy looking Kocho- san stood there.

I know that his one was a little longer then the others, and I'm not the best at battles, but I hope you enjoyed it! :)
