Protect Till the End (Discontinued)

Chapter 22

Y/N's POV

I was taken aback by their question. Why the hell would I even eat shorty. No demon would want to eat shorty even, shorter means less meat.

I calmly answered them "No, why would I eat Levi?"

Eld shouted "You're a demon, like Eren said! He said demons eat humans! So if you're a demon, you would eat us, and you would start off with humanity's strongest soldier, Levi heichou!"

I glare at Eren, who was still doing his best to give me his death glare.

"First of all, I am a half-demon, not a full one. And did you really think I wished to be one? I wasn't even given a choice, I was born one.

And some demons can control themselves, we just need a slight amount of blood or sleep.

As for Levi, he's still goddamn alive. I feel his aura, which I would watch out for if I were you guys, his aura seems very grumpy."

Petra, clearly not happy with what I told them, ran at me and put her blade on my neck, and slice it off.

I pretend to fall dead, and moan "Ohhhh! The agony, the pain!"

I stood up, with my headless body walking to my head, and picked it up, reattaching it back to my body.

"If you want to kill me, that stuff won't work, Petra, so perhaps you could try harder."

Everyone was in shock, just seeing me reattaching my head and not dying after Petra just cut off my head.

"Ah right, I forgot to mention to Hange that demons can't die from anything, it has to be the scarlet ore or the sun..."

"What the hell is going on, brats?" I heard a voice behind me, with everyone in front of me suddenly saluting to who I knew from the voice, was Levi.

"Heichou! You're not dead-"

"Of course not, brat, why the hell did you think I was dead?" Levi said, cutting Eren off.

"Well, you weren't here earlier like usual, and after Y/N told me about her being a demon, I told the others who already knew about Y/N being a demon, and we assume that Y/N ate you..."

"HALF-DEMON!" I shouted, angry that they couldn't get straight to the fact that I was a half-demon.

Levi 'tch', and told me "Y/N, just do that illusion thing that did that night with the others. The whole past, as I am guessing you didn't show Eren the entire memory, did you?"

I nod my head and spoke "I refuse. None of them have my trust yet, and I knew it was a bad choice to even show Eren since such a weak-mind person could ever understand something..."

Petra yelled "Do what heichou tells you!" and Eren roaring "You haven't seen my oka-san die! You don't know what it's like to lose your family member!"

I froze on the spot, remembering the past again.

Levi noticed this, and ran over, patting my back. 

"Y/N, do it."

Tears started coming out of my eyes, with our surroundings chancing into my old home.

I watch the 3-year-old me, doing my best to stop oto-san to stop killing my family. Oto-san, killing nii-san, nee-san, and lastly oka-san. 

I wasn't even able to meet my new baby sibling, now I think about it.

They watch in horror, with oto-san forcing me to eat the remaining of my dead family and my training.

I somehow then saw Oyakata-sama in a different illusion. A calmer, peaceful one. The one when Oyakata-sama saves me, giving them that gentle smile of his.

"Oyakata-sama..." I muttered, slightly smiling at the scene.

The memories somehow then turn to when all my Demon Slayer friends were killed. All of them... Hideki, Yuzaki, Mako, all of them.

I tried stopping the torturous memories, but I couldn't stop it. It was as if someone was controlling these memories instead of me.

"Stop it... STOP IT!" I shout, trying to hold back a sob while trying to stop the illusion before I and everyone else saw more. 

Then it came to the worst part, where oto-san had killed an entire village, swinging a woman's head by her hair... and that all the uppermoons were feasting their meal, thanks to oto-san...

I finally was about to stop the memories, panting, and crying silently.

"Why did one of the guys have the same feature as you, Y/N?... Even when you told us all demons have red eyes and pale skin, that one has literally the most similarities to you..." Eld spoke.

I stood up, twisting my neck at them. The inside of me was bursting in flame, with multiple emotions in me. 

"That man, was the demon lord, oto-san. Muzan Kibutsuji. Known as the man who done this to me, and thousands innocent humans."I spat out, cringing saying oto-san's name. 

Oh, how I wish that name never existed. Let alone that he shouldn't even have existed.

Everyone was looking at the ground, ashamed and pitiful. 

I walked out of the room, telling Levi "Perhaps I will teach these guys what to do when it comes to protecting themselves from demons, till then, I'll be waiting for their deaths."

He nods, understanding what I meant. 

I wasn't happy with them, but the main reason was that they were weak.

They have to prove themselves to me that they were able and ready to be able to do the intense training we Demon Slayers do.

I walk out and saw Hange approaching the gates, and I ran over there to open the gates for her, faking a smile.

"Ah, arigato, Y/N! Do you know where Levi and his squad are?"

I nod my head in an exciting way, saying "Hai! They're in the Mess Hall!"

She nods, smiling back, and jogs over to the entrance. "Arigato again Y/N! I'll come back out here in a moment once I get Eren and the others to come with us!"

I smile wider and kept it on till Hange was out of my view, and I stop smiling.

Why the hell was I even being hated, they didn't even know my past before, and they were already accusing me.

I ran over to a tree and punch another one down, adding it to the collection of the trees I punch down last night. 

"FUCKING IDIOTS!"

I hollered and kicked another tree.

"Assholes who think they had it hard! As if they have seen how it's like for Demon Slayers!"

I look down, my hands forming into fists, attached to the side of my body, and allowing a few tears to drop from my eyes. 

I heard footsteps behind me, and I just stay there, not wanting to move.

Then I felt someone's hand on my shoulder, and I look up, seeing Hange.

She looks surprised at what I was doing, and I did my best to fake smile again, telling her I was fine with a simple movement.

She nods, still looking concern, and we both walk to the horses where everyone was.

Everyone saw me walk in with Hange, and avoid eye contact besides Levi, which I was glad. They were the last people I wanna deal with right now.

Levi brought over to me a beautiful brown horse and said "This will be your horse from now on. You'll be responsible for it, and use it every time when you need to go somewhere, Cadet Kibutsuji-"

"Don't call me by my last name, Levi." I interrupted him, not impressed with him calling me by my last name.

He nods and left me alone to take care of his horse.

I feed my horse some carrots and water and was thinking of a name for my horse.

Eh, whatever, I'll just name it H/N, I'm not trying hard to think of a name for an animal.

I got on H/N when everyone was getting onto their own horses, and Hange leads us to a flat area, similar to the place back at the Trainee camp.

I got off of H/N, and stretch, allowing the sun to touch my face.

I then had a sad, pitiful smile on my face. All those humans who became a demon can't ever enjoy this sensation ever again... 

My thoughts were snap out with Petra cutting my head again.

"Jeez, great manners you got, Petra," I spoke, rolling my eyes while my body walks over to my head and I put it back where it belongs.

Hange smile, and oh boy, another experiment, day 2, let's go...

Woo-hoo.
