Quick Sand - Inosuke x Reader

Chapter Seven

~Flashback~

A dark haired man with a very slight amount of light blonde mixed in, stooped into a small room where a woman sat low the ground. She had a very seductive look on her face, and she bit her lip slowly while staring at the man with lidded eyes.

"Hello?" he asked, confused. "I was supposed to come here for a new experiment, not whatever this is..."

"But isn't this better?," she whispered in his ear. The man motioned around, with a frustrated face, gesturing to the scientific equipment around them. She frowned, and pressed her hands up against his chest in an attempt to knock him down to the ground.

"I-I have a s-son about to b-be born!" he protested as she started gently rubbing her hands all around his body.

"Well then, you should give me one too!"

~End of Flashback~

Zenitsu's eyes widened as he recalled the name Y/N. A faint memory of people shouting her name sounded in his head. 'K, so I know them from somewhere...'

Tanjiro was beginning to worry about the others, as ever since they started the hunt for Y/N, both of them had begun acting strangely. Especially whenever someone explicitly said the name "Y/N".

Something was definitely going on that was beyond his knowledge, but for some reason it didn't bother him very much. He was still worried, don't get me wrong, but he figured that they would sort it out themselves, and if they needed help that they would come to him.

So, they all walked along, mostly in silence, except for the occasional grunts coming from Inosuke's direction.

Lightning.

Y/N was not a fan of lightning. 

Zenitsu hadn't necessarily done anything to harm her, but they were starting to get anxious as they remembered all the things connected to the boy.

First, the humongous power surge that had caused an extreme headache.

Two, since that was a good while ago, back when she had a betterish relationship with her mother, she had asked about said power surge, and her mother seemed to have no idea what they were talking about.

Three. 

Zenitsu was Y/N's half brother.

And she had already met him.

The day that his mother punched her father, over and over, till his face was beat into his skull.

Y/N had accidentally killed her in their rage. 

A small Zenitsu crying next to his dead mother, looking at her with so much hate in his eyes, if looks could kill, she would be rotting in hell.

After that day, her father never looked at her the same way. Apparently, that was the woman he loved, yet somehow that was not her mother. Such things astounded Y/N's young mind.

Some things were better not understood.

A memory clicked inside of Zenitsu's mind. 

That girl.

The one who ruined his whole life.

The one who was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen in his life.

The one who was the reason he cried himself to sleep every night for five years.

Yet somehow he couldn't bring himself to hate her. He knew the situation, his father had told his mother the whole story and Zenitsu heard through the curtain. That was the day he had brought Y/N over.

Zenitsu was actually excited about having a sister. His mother was not excited about having daughter. At all.

He had thought his mother to be a kind and forgiving person, but that day changed his view of everything.

The minute his father thought that they would try to work everything out, his mother slammed him to the ground and began beating the shit out of his face.

Either way, someone would've been killed.

He didn't blame Y/N for anything.

But it was still painful nonetheless.

When they did finally see each other, it certainly would be an interesting experience.
