New Fangs (KNY X HxH)

"MHH!" Tanjiro woke up as he was shoved out of his bed. "Nezuko?" that was odd, Nezuko never wakes me up like that. He opened his eyes, sitting up. And that was when he smelled it, it was fear and panic. Tanjiro jolted to his feet. "Nezuko what's wrong!" she was crying and trying to drag him somewhere. EVERYBODY WAKE UP" he yelled. Suddenly Leorio came out of his room with an alarmed expression. "Kurapika was in our room a moment ago- what the hell happened?" Nezuko was dragging him out the door, so he followed as quickly as he could. "GON'S NOT IN HIS ROOM!" wait he's not? Is that why Nezuko's freaking out? Then he smelled something, he smelled Kurapika and Nezuko. And Gon, but his trail is fainter. Did Nezuko also wake Kurapika up? He gasped as another smell hit his nose. Blood! He started running faster, Nezuko let go of his hand and kept pace with him. Wait, that's animal blood. His panic calmed for a moment, but he still kept up the pace.

There was sobbing, and a soft murmuring noise as well. He cleared a few trees and froze in dismay at what he saw. Kurapika was holding Gon, who was covered in animal blood. He was sobbing uncontrollably and they were both sitting next to a dead animal. Said dead animal appeared to be stabbed violently many times. And Kurapika's eyes were red. The last time that happened he was really mad, I smell fear, sadness, and anger. There was also a bloody knife that seemed to be discarded. He reached down to pick it up and gasped slightly at how heavy it was. That's one of Killua's items, the only other person who would be strong enough to hold it is... his heart sank. Did Gon do this? Was this him taking his anger out? He seemed fine the last time I saw him though! Kurapika stood up, his voice low and steady. "take him for me" Tanjiro complied, he didn't know what else to do right now. Nezuko grew and held her arms out, so he gave him to her. She held him tightly, and Gon sobbed into her kimono. They need each other, I'd hate to imagine how Killua is doing without him.

Killua was sitting in a cold damp cave. He had run a few miles, didn't stop until daybreak. But as soon as he was there he felt tears sting his eyes. I want to go back, but I can't. not until I'm human or I can find some sort of solution. He didn't have much on him, actually he didn't even have a shirt. The only things he had was a pair of faded green shorts and his overwhelming fear and sadness. Of course it has to be fucking green. But this was good wasn't it? Wasn't this what he wanted? It hurts being this far away, but I can't hurt him. I'd rather suffer this pain than eat Gon- he put a hand to his mouth, gagging just thinking about it. Don't think about that, think about what's ahead of you. He gritted his teeth. So I can't kill humans. What if I kill and eat animals? So he left the cave, activating En. I also need a shirt, maybe I can skin a deer or something.

He spent a few minutes trying to find a big enough animal, he finally managed to take down a mountain cat. He just kind of tied it's paws together, he didn't want to kill it if he didn't have to. The damn thing was beautiful. "hey kitty, I just need a little bit" he said, the cat writhed, yowling. Hmm... he sank his fangs into one of its legs. Damn it, it's disgusting. Killua pulled back, then sighed heavily. Time to experiment.

He spent the next couple days trying to figure out a way to like animal blood. It didn't work, and he was starting to get hungrier. Damn it. And then he remembered something. That spider demon, I ripped it's leg off. The only reason why he had deemed it gross was because there was a fucking leg in his mouth, he didn't remember tasting anything foul. What if I drink demon's blood? The only issue with that was the fact that they disintegrated when they died, which meant he had to eat them alive. It's my only option right now.

When nightfall came, he activated En. Just my luck, there's one close by. He could sense that they had some horns and a tail. He slipped out of the cave and to his surprise, the demon was standing there and waiting for him. "hey you" he blinked, "yeah?" the tailed demon narrowed its eyes at him. "I've heard talk about a traitor with curly white hair" well shit, guess I'm famous. He put his hands behind his head. "Baaka~ why would I betray the master? That's just asking to be killed. Also that cave was cramped and I can't wait to get my teeth in something" that something being you, oh god I just gotta do it. He activated Zetsu, then slammed into the demons' side. "What the hell are you-" he let out a scream as Killua sank his fangs into his neck. To his surprise, the blood didn't taste too bad. This might work. He got a leg cut off by the demon's tail and he snarled, unleashing a strong wave of bloodlust. He gasped and froze, eyes wide. "w-why" he pulled back, licking his lips. "I don't like killing humans" he said, then yanked his tail off.

It took about 5 minutes to finally kill it, apparently you can kill a demon if you take too much of its blood. He just sucked the blood out through its neck, the tail tasted awful when he tried it. He got up, glancing down at his blood soaked body. "Eh, who gives a fuck" he activated his En again, and started running as fast as he could. Not only would this solve his problem hopefully, but it would help the demon slayers. Hold on, my blood demon art can alter my blood's properties. What if instead of healing, I make some sort of drug that makes demons not feel pain. Then I could feed without torturing my victims. Because as much as he hated demons who ate people, they didn't remember who they were before. If they remembered being human like I did, they might have chosen a different path.

That was when he got an awesome idea. I could test it on animals, then try it on demons! Although, there was a demon like 5 meters away. And he was pretty sure it was walking towards him. Can you knock a demon out? That might be a better solution for the time being. When the demon came into sight, it was actually pretty short, it also had bird feathers. "hey! This is my hunting ground!" it growled. Killua scoffed. "yours? Hate to break it to ya but you don't look very threatening" he smirked and unleashed a strong wave of bloodlust. The demon started to retreat but he grabbed it by its tail feathers. "I'M SORRY! I'LL LEAVE!" he chuckled. "sorry little bird, but I'm feeling hungry" before the feathered demon had time to respond, he brought his hand down on his pressure point.

It fell with a thump and he dragged it back to his cave because it was starting to turn morning. And I want to eat, I can't have it turning to ash before I get to. Once he was out of the sun, he sank his fangs into its neck. He sucked it completely dry, it never woke up once. This one tasted worse than the last one, maybe the stronger demons taste better. This one took less time as well, which supported his hypothesis. Demons needed blood for energy in order to heal, if you take away that blood they die. Over the course of the next few days, he had been perfecting his technique. It only half worked on demons, they didn't scream quite so loud. Until one night, he hit a jackpot. Killua came across a demon with a peculiar set of markings. Both of them locked eyes and the other demon hissed. "what are you doing here? Don't you know this is my feeding ground?" he sighed. "I'm not from around here" the demon blinked, then crossed his arms. "I'll have you know that I'm one of the lower moons" I've heard about those, I thought they were disbanded. But, he did see a strange marking in its eye.

He smirked, "judging by your symbol you were the lowest of the lower moons" he stiffened. "I'm still one of the twelve kizuki!" he snapped. "show some respect!" Killua chuckled, "not anymore" let's see how this goes. The demon yelled and shot some sort of dart things at him with its claws. He dodged every single one and readied his specialized toxin. "I'd like to test out my new Blood Demon Art on you" he said, then ducked under another blow and slammed the demon into the ground. He quickly sank his fangs into its neck, his saliva mixed with the blood and suddenly his limbs stopped moving. "why can't I feel my body!" he screeched, twitching his limbs violently. He pulled back with a smirk. "I call it Oni Kusuri, it makes your limbs numb and you can no longer feel pain " he said with a smile. "why the hell would you create such a useless blood demon art" he snarled.

Killua smirked. "it's not for offense. It's for feeding" his eyes widened. "y-you don't mean-" he licked his lips and leaned down. "it's better not to struggle" he started draining but he couldn't help an inkling of doubt. His limbs are supposed to not be able to move, why can he still move? I tested it out on multiple animals and it all worked the same. Then he realized. This demon was extremely powerful, it was actually difficult to get my teeth into him. Not to mention he used to be one of the lower moons, those are like one of the most powerful demons. He had actually done research on demons, it was difficult to find anything on them though because- suddenly his body started to hurt. "what the hell's wrong with you now?" the weakened demon said. He stumbled and clutched his head, letting out gasps of pain. Why the fuck does this hurt so bad? What the hell's happening!
