which path will i choose

part 7

tanjirou pov.

I don't know what to do anymore.
I don't want to meet rui.
i don't what to hurt him
I don't-

"tanjirou"

riu

"how did you find me did you saw-"my word was cut off by him with a sad voice

" yeah i saw it, are you.... going to do that to me as well "

i hold my sword tight as i shook my head

i can't do it

suddenly i smell a scent of another person and nezuko coming this way

i whispered "hide" to rui. he seem to know what was going on.

he started running and i followed him just to make sure he'll be safe

i can smell nezuko is following us and the other person getting closer

they're must be a hashira

I can't do anything instead of just watching

if i do anything to help rui the mission will be ruin. me and rui would be punished by master muzan

we ran as fast as we can but the hashira manage to catch up

but before the sword could land on rui neck nezuko manage to catch him and start to run carrying him

nezuko speed is the same as an uppermoon but the hashira was also fast

rui start helping by shooting his attack to the hashira trying to slow him down. however the hashira is still close

they have to put a fight if they want to escape

" nezuko you go save yourself. I'll try to slow him down  "

nezuko shook her head. obviously she doesn't want to leave him behind.

she suddenly slow down and put down rui

she was facing the hashira wanting to fight

"you go get the white demon I'll take the girl "

the hashira march forward to her while i faced rui

i hold my sword pretending to fight

i drove us far away from them. just so the two of us was alone

"rui go find a place to hide, go to the fortress if you can"

"what about nezu-"

"I'll take care of that" i started running towards nezuko direction.

nezuko is as strong as an uppermoon cutting her wouldn't be easy.

Nezuko pov.

this slayer must be a hashira all of his attack are strong i barely manage to dodge all of it.

i have to find a way to run before sunrise or nee-chan may try to save me and it would ruin his mission.

i look around and have an idea .
while i keep dodging his attack i manage to knock down some trees and drop a little bit of blood on it.

i keep doing that until i made it surround us

blood demon art exploding blood

the fallen trees around us start to burst up flames as it traps us

when the hashira was surprised, i took the opportunity to escape through the flames.

tanjirou pov.

i was hiding while while watching the fight. i can smell someone else was here but they aren't doing anything.

when nezuko finally manage to escape. i sigh in relief

the flames slowly died down when nezuko was far away.

i was still hiding from them since they'll probably ask about rui

as the flames was gone. the person that was watching finally came out.

"ara-ara tamioka. you let the demon go. it look like she was strong, is she an uppermoon moon?" the woman said with a smile

"no why were you just watching"

"oh i have my reasons. well i have to go now "

the woman then go without looking back.

i sneak out to be far away from the hashira as i can.

Author pov.

zenitsu didn't go anywhere he was still thinking about the girl

"what an angel how could a girl as sweet and pretty as her could be a demon. nother less the help me with the poison" the boy thought while smiling and giggling happily

"i wonder if we'll meet again one day"

"moshi moshi are you alright" shinobu said my happy smile

zenitsu was surprised at the sudden present.

"Y-Yes!" " two girl spoke to me! this is the best day ever! "

" no pain at all ?" shinobu ask

he shook his head

" did a demon healed you?"

zenitsu was surprised by this, he don't know what to answer.

"I'll take that as a yes. well then I'll be seeing you again tomorrow morning good bye now"

shinobu went back to patrol the area.

as it seem there aren't any demon around anymore

all the demon slayer can leave. some get ready for their next mission and some was taken to the butterfly mansion to treat their wound.

murata inosuke zenitsu and tanjirou was taken to the mansion.

zenitsu was asked to meet shinobu at her check up room.

the next day all the hashira was called for a meeting
