The Silent One

Chapter 19

Leaving everyone stunned, Natsu slowly walked over to the H/C girl, who turns her head around, revealing those eyes of hers.

As she growls again, spreading those demonic wings of hers, as her slit pupils grow wider.

"Those who are well enough to fight, get a nirchirn katana and kill Connell-san!"

"HOLD UP, THAT'S NOT RIGHT, Y/N'S PERFECTLY FINE-"

Natsu never got to finish that sentence as the said girl had roared while shouting " Demon Blood Art: Bombaric Thunder!" causing the entire city to have bombs, with screams in the air.

With the sun coming above them, a slight bit of the sunburnt Y/N's skin, resulting in her running off quickly to a shade, unfortunately, unsuccessful by Giyuu kicking her into the sunlight.

As Giyuu held her by her neck, watching in agony as he watched his comrade slowly dying in pain. 

As if god came to the H/C haired girl's rescue, Gray created an ice shell around Y/N, leaving her unexposed to the sun and from the Water Hashira's reach.

The demon girl, unamused by this, started slamming her fist into the cold solid, as Giyuu stood up to see the wizards all staring at Giyuu in disgust.

"How could you kill your own comrade?"

"It's necessary, after all, she's a demon. Demons are to be killed."

Without the others noticing, Bisca and Alzack were trying to break open the ice to free their eldest daughter, silently crying about her current state.

At once, the banging inside the ice stopped, filled with muttering, as everyone silent, trying to hear what Y/N was saying in there.

"Get out of my head, Kibutsuji... I don't need to be a perfect demon..."

Eyes widen, Giyuu spun his head and reported "Connell-san is still hasn't process into a demon fully!"

The Kasugai crows passed the message to all the remaining slayers that were too far to hear the raven-haired man say, as Kanao rushed over to where the crows had emerged to return the girl back into a demon.

The ice in front of multiple people then had broken by Y/N, who held one of her e/c eyes, as the other one was red now with a slit pupil, and whips were grown on her back like Muzans.

"Get out of my head, Kibutsuji, I refuse to carry your will!"

With whips behind her swinging around, hitting everything around her, Kanao did her final form.

"Breath of Flowers, Final Form: Equinoctial Vermilion Eye." And stabbed the medicine she was given by Shinobu before the war into Y/N, causing her to stop shattering buildings.

"Come on, Connell-san, your family is waiting for you."

Tired by the effect of the medicine, the said girl slowly closed her eyes, welcoming the sleep.

Inside of Y/N's head, she and Muzan were arguing about becoming a 'perfect demon' or become a 'worthless demon' as they walked down a dark hallway.

"If you carry my will, you can become the perfect living being!"

Shaking her head, she continues walking her path with Muzan still trying to pull her back. 

"You won't ever die, you can be the strongest demon of them all! What is there to offer for that?!"

"Family," Y/N retorted, as she fasten her pace. 

As Y/N, who is now sprinting with Muzan trying to catch up to her, she sees light at the end of the hallway, with voices calling her back, voices that were no longer foreign.

Reaching her hand into the white light, she cross the line into the door that shone the light, with the door shutting behind her, leaving Muzan in the dark.

Slowly opening her eyes, Y/N raises her head up slightly to find people surrounding her, most Fairy Tail wizards around her, sobbing without realizing that she has just woken up from the effect.

"I didn't hit anybody when I was a demon, was it?..." Y/N croak, her throat somewhat sore.

At once, everyone had their focus on her, all screaming out her name, causing the poor girl to groan from the volume of their voices.

As Kakushi's were making their way to the Thunder Hashira to wrap her injures now that it was confirmed she was no longer a demon, she was slowly getting tired.

"I'm kind of tired, I think I'm gonna go have a nap... wake me up when Pinky and Strip man is being stupid again..." She muttered, with Natsu's eyes widen from hearing his nickname that he was given before he had disappeared from the S-class trial.

"Connell-sama! Please stay awake, you're likely to die with all the blood loss right now!"

Hearing this, she chuckles as others looked at her in fear, "I wonder how come I didn't turn into a pure demon instead, huh? Kind of wish I still had the ability to heal myself..."

Bisca and Alzack ran up to her whose eyes were glassy from tears, as Asuka who was in Bisca's arms, face unknowingly what was going on.

"N/N, please keep your eyes awake, your family's here!"

Y/N's e/c eyes started to dull a bit, as she give a small grin to the people above her, muttering.

"I remember everything. All the memories I made before I had amnesia, the new ones I created with my 2nd family, will be with me. I'll follow my adoptive sisters today instead of being with my biological sister..."

Closing her eyes as tears fell out of her eyes, plastering a real smile on her face.

"Sorry mama, papa, everyone, hope we can meet again in the future if I reincarcerate... Keep making your dreams come true..." 

And those were her final words, as everyone yelled her name out, with Fairy Tail wizards running over to the Connell family's side, sobbing over the death of their family, along with the remaining Demon Hunters that were witnessing the scene.
