Stronger Than Demons

And I Met Them Again

"I'll do it, I'll properly do it ok? So don't call your father!" Someone cried, waking me up from a long nap.

"What's going on here?" Lower moon six or whatever appeared in front of me.

"My apologies Upper Moon Zero, there are just some demon slayers who entered the mountain."

"Hmm," I looked around for a bit before putting my head down to rest. "Do whatever, I don't care."

"Yes sir." He answered, leaving the demon below us to tremble in fear.

"Women, why are you so afraid?" She stayed silent, I opened my eyes again to see her moving her hands violently while trembling. "Are you scared of me?"

"As- as the mother in the family I need to protect everyone."

"Why are you the mother?"

"I- I do not no."

I chuckled as I kept my gaze on her. "Why are you so formal with me, you are clearly older."

"I don't dare do such a thing." She started to cry as she swung more violently.

"Are they going to beat you?"

"No, no no no no no! Father will beat me, I can't let the win. If Rui hadn't rushed me I could have killed them! If only if-"

"Will you blame me too?" She tremble so violently at those words that all the strings that extened from her fingers broke off.

"No! I would never! Please, forgive me!" She fell down the rock she previously sat on and kneeled on the floor.

"I don't mind. I'm half human after all. For me, it would be best if you all died."

She burst into tears as she kept apologizing, her form changed into a small child with short brown hair. Her once graceful appearance changed into that of a child, making her pitiful and weak. I turned around and left the tree, not long after I left, the smell of ashy demon remains followed.

Exploring the mountain a little more, I saw a giant spider, probably the dad, wandering the woods. He seemed unfazed as I passed, not kneeling even though I passed him. I came to the conclusion that he must be retarded and only listened to orders. There was another clearing similar to the one I was previously at, but plain land instead of a boulder. Climbing another tree, I rested my head again and closed my eyes.

"THAT'S A FAKE BOND!" Someone yelled from below, waking me up again.

"I won't let you say that about me and my family." I looked down to see Lower Moon Six fighting Nezuko-chan.

I watched as the 2 fight, Nezuko-chan being at a complete disadvantage. And then, as if my body moved on its own, I grabbed her right before the webs did. Rui immediately stopped, his body trembled violently as he kneeled in front of me.

"F-forgive my impudence Upper Moon Zero! I meant no harm!"

"Upper Moon Zero?" The terrified voice repeated from behind.

Ignoring Rui, I turned my head around to see Nezuko-chan, her sword now pointed at me. My chest hurt so much I wanted to rip it out.

"WAKE UP!" someone yelled, I turned around again to see a small boy in front of me. "You're being tricked, you've got to wake up! Can't you tell that's Nezuko? You have to wake up!"

The boy in front of me vanished, soon being replaced with Rui who was still on the ground.

"Where are the others?" I asked, noticing the blonde and boar weren't with her.

"Why do you need to know?" she clenched the sword tighter

I looked at her for a while longer. Is she hesitating to kill me? Me, who was just announced as a demon and a powerful one too. Is she scared?

"Is your name really Tanjiro?"
