KNY Tanjirou x One-Shots

Tanjirou x Mukago

"I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die." The lower moon 4 demon repeated as she sat beneath a tree the sun slowly coming to a rise. She was left for dead by her master Muzan due to her cowardness and was subjugated to death. Instead of dirtying his hands he decided to leave her on her own stuck to a tree just as the sun started to rise. To avoid the sun she was pressing her body as close as possible to the tree staying in the shade but it was clear how the sun would soon burn her to a crisp shortly. 

With tears pouring down her face she quietly cried as she could feel the sun already begin to burn her before it even touched her. Her claws dug into the bark of the tree as she felt pain slowly begin to take over her causing even more tears to pour. "Hello?" At the sound of the male voice her eyes snapped to a young man in a sea foam haori but the two most noticeable things about him where his earing and the scar he held on his head. 'Demon Slayer?' She slightly hoped. While she didn't want to die she would have preferred instant decapitation to being burnt alive. She was quickly saddened upon seeing no sword on him causing her to slump slightly. 

Doing so caused her hand to fall out the shade causing her to pull it back smoke coming off the not scared hand. "A demon!?" The  boy spoke in surprise seeing the smoke come off her hand. Mukago despite having a normal human stare at her she continued to let her tears fall. What was the point in holding her pride close when you were going to die. That was her thought until she found the boys haori covering her body the article of clothing thick enough to cover her from the sun. Her eyes widened as she peeked her head out. Lucky for her the haori was large enough to cover hear body while the shade covered her head allowing her to face to savior. "What are you doing!? I'm a demon so why are you protecting me!?" 

The boy was surprised by her sudden outburst before he seemed to calm himself down before giving her a smile that filled Mukago with a strong warmth. "You were scared and a pretty girl shouldn't be scared for her life." Despite the fact these words were said by her food source she couldn't help but bring the Haori up to cover her cheeks to hide her blush. "To say something to a demon. You must not be to smart for a human." Laughing lightly ,which brought even more watch to the demon, The boy nodded his head in agreement before walking forward and much to her embarrassment picked her up and holding her close to hide her from the sun. "I may not be the brightest but I can't help but want to protect someone in need. Now come. My home in not to far from here. You should be able to hide out until nightfall." Without another sound He walked off the sounds of animal filling the silence between the two. "What is your name?"

"Oh sorry! I forgot my manners. My name is Tanjirou Kamado. Pleasure to meet you." 

"Mukago." 

The two continued in silence for a few more minutes until they arrive at a home Walking inside Tanjirou placed her gently on the ground before quickly walking around the home closing all the doors and windows blocking the sun from entering the house. Once the sun was denied access Mukago removed the haori freeing herself before she looked around the house. It was very lightly decorated with all the basic utilities one would find in a house in the woods. Her eyes stopped on Tanjirou who came and sat in front of her giving her a gentle smile. "How can you sit there so close to me knowing I am a demon. I eat people for there blood to survive after all."

"Well I eat many critters I hunt in the woods to survive. It may not be the same but I can understand that one must eat to survive. However I would like to ask that you don't eat me please." While Tanjirou asked her of this she stood up and walked around the home. "Are you the only one living here?" She was quite confused and half expected a sibling of his to appear and begin to scream upon seeing a demon in their home. "That is correct. my elder sister had married a kind man who had offered to help look after out younger siblings. As the older brother I didn't want to intrude on his kindness and decided to live on my own so my sister could have a loving life with her husband."
