Kimetsu No Yaiba x Male! Reader

-25-

(Really quickly, I've decided to make Y/n and Nezuko's relationship a brother/sister one until she is of age to be considered a love interest, so she will be one eventually, just not now.)

Running towards the direction of the demons, I slayed around three of them, and I could feel a more powerful demon in the front carriage.

"Y/n-San!!" I heard.

I looked back and saw Tanako running in my direction.

"Tanako! You're awake!" I said as I sidestepped a demon's claw, and sliced his neck.

"Why are all of these demons appearing so suddenly?" She asked.

"It may be the work of a stronger demon, the one that put us to sleep. He must've assumed we'd get killed by something as futile as that, I must admit it did prove to be effective, but he underestimated us. Are Ino, Zenitsa, and Kyojiro awake as well?" I asked.

"Well...Rengoku-San is half awake and half sleep, she was holding a girl by her throat when I awoke." Tanako said.

I nodded my head and barrel rolled over to another demon, slicing its arms first, and then it's neck.

"And what of Nezuko?" I asked.

"She's helping protect them and wake them up." Tanjiro said.

"Alright. Let's go then! We have to find the head demon and take them out!" I said, dashing towards the front carriage with half of my speed.

"R-right!" Tanako nodded, running behind me, trying to keep up.

"We need to go on the outside of the train....but there's a lot of demons...Tanako." I said.

"Yes?" Tanako asked.

"I'm trusting you with this, I need you to go outside of the train. The demon is upwind, I'll stay in the carts and protect them, while also trying to get the others awake...can I trust you to buy me some time?" I asked.

"Y-yes! I can thwart off the demon! I'll even kill him!" Tanako said with confidence.

"Alright...stay safe." I said.

Tanako nodded and placed her hands over the top part of the train car, flipping over to the top, and began running.

I stayed behind and started to kill the demons, and transferring the passengers to different spots in the car.

~~~~Tanako's P.O.V.~~~~

I ran over the train, and instantly saw a demon.

"What? You're awake? Good morning!" The demon said, waving at me. His hand formed a mouth and the kanji on it said "dream".

"You could've stayed asleep." He added.

I looked at his eye and noticed that it said Lower One, meaning...it was him!

"Why did you wake up? Didn't I show you a sweet dream? I could've shown you a dream where your family was being slaughtered. Would you have liked that one better? No, of course not. Too distressing, right? All right, next...Why don't I show you a dream where your father comes back to life?" That retched demon asked.

That was the last straw. I gripped my sword tightly in my palm and glared viciously at the demon.

The demon stared at me for a moment, almost as if he were thinking.

"Even though the human desire for blissful dreams for self-serving dreams is so enormous!" He said.

I drew my sword as my glare intensified.

"Don't you dare intrude on my soul! I won't let you get away with this!" I exclaimed.

He stared at me once again, before tilting his head and chuckling gently.

"How lucky is that? So, she came right to me! This is like a dream! Now I can receive even more blood of Master Muzan! And once I become more powerful, I'll challenge an Upper Rank demon to a duel and replace him!" The demon gushed.

I got tired of hearing him speak, so I began to swirl my sword around.

"Water Breathing...Tenth Form: Constant Flux!"

I rushed towards the demon, who just smiled at me.

"Blood Demon Art: Whispers of Forced Unconscious Hypnosis!"

"Go to sleep!" The mouth said.

With little to no time to react, I fell under the same spell that made me go to sleep...but this time I knew what to do!

Without hesitation I slit my throat and regained consciousness. The demon looked at me as if he were confused.

I swung my sword at him twice but he dodged and backflipped away from me.

I ran at him as he landed and he aimed his hand at me once again.

"Go to sleep!"

I fell under the spell and awoke again, almost tipping over the train.

"Go to sleep!"

"Go to sleep!"

"Go...to...sleep!"

Every time he placed me under that spell, I slit my throat to awaken. Slashing at the demon at every chance I could get.  That is until the demon placed me under the spell again, and my dream was different.

My youngest brother cried in front of me, bloodied and injured.

"Why didn't you save us?" He cried.

My other brother ran to me and shoved me away with hatred in his eyes.

"What we're you doing while we were being murdered?" He asked.

My sister gripped onto my haori.

"How could you be the only one to survive?" She asked.

I was suddenly in front of my father, who was drinking out of his cup, and that cup was suddenly thrown at my head.

"Why do you think you were here? You're so useless!" He said.

I was then in a puddle of my families blood, I turned to see my mother and infant brother behind me.

"It should've been you that died. How dare you go on living without a care?" She said.

That's when it clicked. The last and final straw. I awoken from the dream, my anger spilling over as I glared at the demon.

"There's no way they'd ever say that! Not ever! Not my family!" I exclaimed as I pounced over to the demon, and jumped above him.

"Don't you dare...insult...my family!" I exclaimed and my blade cut through the demon's neck.

As I watched both the head and body fall, I couldn't help but notice that something was wrong.

"It was way too easy..." I thought aloud.
