shadow demon slayer (working title)

Chapter 1

"Please nezuko! Don't give in! You gotta stay strong! Please!" A moment of silence as tears from the growling girl fall onto the boy's face. Swiftly interrupted by the deafening sound of metal being struck and the pair that were once laying in the snow to be...well, laying in the snow against a tree now. After a moment of the new pair holding the force of each other's blows away, the first one turned to the boy holding the now shrunken demon girl in his arms and asked "why are you protecting it?", to which he said "she's my sister! I was taking her to get help!...nezuko" another moment of silence. "You call that thing your sister?" the last one to show up decided to chime in this time. "Hey uh, before you do anythin you regret, how's about we go sit over here for a sec...and he's doin it...". Before he would listen to anyone, he lunged for nezuko, only for his collar to be grabbed by a hand floating through a portal. "I said don't do it didn't I? Hey kid, she isn't exactly your sister anymore although, im sure you smelled that already yeah?" the boy looked up at him with a bit of surprise before the one being held slipped out of his kimono and grabbed the demon girl anyway. The other two looked to him before he stated in a deadpan sort of tone "my job is to slay every demon i find, which means i have to decapitate your sister here." "No wait! Nezuko hasn't hurt anyone! Back at my house, there was another scent that I've never smelled before. That's probably the one who killed my family! Nezuko didn't do it! I don't know why she's changed into something like this, but still!" "it's really quite simple, she's turned because her wounds were exposed to demon blood, that's how the man-eating monsters multiply." " She would never eat a human!" "you must be joking. If I hadn't gotten here when I did, she would have devoured you!" "You're wrong! She wouldn't hurt me, she knows I'm her big brother! And I won't let her hurt anyone! I'll turn her back into a human, i will heal her!" "She can't be healed, once you become a demon no one can ever turn back." "There's a way, then I'll find it no matter what it takes! So please let her live! I'll Hunt down the one who slaughtered my family. I promise to make everything right! Please! Just let her go! Please don't do this!" Everybody stopped when the sound of a revolver drum spinning came to a halt beside the one with nezuko held hostage. "Do anything rash, and I'll be forced to do the same. Did you hear me that time?" He froze his sword with the blade tip aimed at her throat. They were once again interrupted but this time by the boy laying his head down with tears. "I'm begging you, please don't kill my little sister...please don't do it..." The one holding nezuko trembled with slight hesitation before unexpectedly yelling. "Don't grovel like that and give the enemies the chance to kill you! All your doing is making yourself vulnerable, if it were even a little bit effective...your family would still be alive right now! How can a weakling like you have any hope of finding a cure for his sister, or hunt down a demon! Don't be ridiculous! The weak have no rights, they don't get to make choices, all they can do is be relentlessly crushed by the strong! Now maybe the demons know of a way to cure your sister, maybe! But don't think for a second that they're going to respect your wishes, just like i have no respect for you! That's reality, and why the hell did you throw yourself over her like that? Was that your way of protecting her? Why didn't you swing that hatchet, and why would you ever turn your back to me? Those mistakes are what led to her capture!" A small 'ahem' sound was heard next to him. "But you turned your back to me...which lead to this moment now" another grumble was heard before he stabbed nezuko in the shoulder, quickly followed by a small rock flying at their faces. The green haired hunter quickly jumped into the tree as another rock came flying towards the back of his head, which was dodged by the other boy. The one in the green kimono charged at the one holding his sister, screaming with rage. "You are a fool!" he spat at the charging boy, following it with a hard hit to his back with the kashira of his katana. He stood for a moment before realizing the hatchet was missing, looking up to the sound of it flying through the icy air. He moved his head to the side as it slammed into the tree behind him. He stood around, shocked as he tried to play back what had happened, only to be kicked to the side by nezuko. He recovered quickly after as the hunter landed back on the ground behind nezuko as she stood between the demon slayer and her brother, ready for a fight. The two stood in a ready stance, nezuko pouncing first but was immediately stopped by a karate chop to the neck by a gloved hand. "That settles that then" "who are you?" the green-haired figure stood facing away for a second, before turning back to him with both eyes glowing silver and purple. "I am the living nightmare that plagues this world, lord of shadows, devourer of all things living." he sprouted his dragon wings and turned away again, before saying one final thing. "My name is Turtl. You'll see me again, I'm sure of it. Just don't start anythin and I won't, yea?" "...Sure, but how can I trust you won't try anything either?" "just trust" and with that, he flew away. Little did we know, Tanjiro was awake the whole time, so of course he heard everything.
