3rd persons p.o.v

Tanjiro was about to keep heading east with y/n until he smelt something, "What the, what's that awful smell?" He said turning his head to face the opposite direction

Tanjiro's p.o.v

I turned my head to face the direction of the smell, and saw a guy running from a demon,

"What the hell?! I didn't sign up for this!" he yelled

'what?' I asked myself, and then I saw it, a giant mutated demon, I grabbed y/n's hand and pulled her behind the tree I was hiding behind.

She looked very confused, but decided to stay quiet in the end, she looked in front of me too see why I did it, and then she saw it too, she immediately went back beside me and looked like she was going to cry, but ended up staying calm in the end.

________

I'll be honest with myself, I was scared too, 'oh my god, what is that!?' I asked myself, trying to stay as calm as possible,

Sabito's p.o.v

"Do you think Tanjiro and y/n can beat him?" Makomo asked, I frowned thinking about the possibility of my sister and Tanjiro joining us in the afterlife "I don't know, It seems, nothing is ever going to be enough, you saw it for yourself, didn't you?"

Tanjiro's p.o.v

The boy being chased by the demon tripped on a stick, "What's this mutated demon doing here anyways?! Nobody said anything!" He yelled, the demon getting closer and closer as each second passed.

It had just swallowed another person whole in front of my eyes, growing everytime it consumed a human. The poor guy looked terrified, and with that, the demon grabbed his leg, I gripped my sword, 'stay strong, save him, save him, save him! You're not powerless anymore! Move it!'

I ran up to it and slashed off the arm that was holding onto the guy. Y/n was right behind me and started trying to calm the guy down so he would stop screaming at it.

Your p.o.v

After you got the guy to calm down you immediately went to help Tanjiro, as soon as the demon could see us clearly he glared straight into our souls, "Well look at that, it's another one of those sweet little foxes."

He said "Another?" Tanjiro asked "Say fox cub, the year, are we still in meiji?" he asked "It's the taisho period!" Tanjiro answered

"Taisho..." the demon said, his eyes widening after processing it, He screamed in anger,

"Already!? We have passed into a new period!? Again, and i'm still stuck inside this wisteria prison!?" He yelled, "Unforgivable, unforgivable! Damn you Urokodaki, damn you, damn you!" he continued

Tanjiro's p.o.v

"Unforgivable, unforgivable! Damn you Urokodaki, damn you, damn you!"the demon yelled

"You know Urokodaki?" I asked

"Of course I do, Urokodaki's the one that captured me and brought me here! But that was 47 years ago now, back when he was still hunting demons like me, the Edo period, during the Keio era." My eyes widened in shock,

"No way, the Edo period?" I asked, when I heard the guy from earlier yell "You're lying! No demon could ever live that long in here, besides, all these demons here have only eaten two or three humans, they die during final selection! In fact, they even eat their own kind!"

"And yet i've managed to survive here all this time? Trapped in this flowery cage, i've managed to devour at least 50 of you brats!"

"Fifty people?" I asked shocked, I heard y/n gasp from beside me.

"Eleven, twelve, thirteen, that means you're number 14 and 15!" he yelled

"What are you talking about!?" I questioned

He started laughing creepily, it was honestly kind of scary, "That's how many of Urokodaki's students i've eaten! I promised myself I'd kill every single one of them!" He explained

"The ones that stood out to me the most were those two, ah yes, the boy's hair was an unusual shade of pink, a scar by his mouth, he was the most powerful of the lot!"

I saw y/n clench her fists as he said that, but he continued

"The other one was a girl, who wore a flowery kimono, small, not much power, but awfully agile" He continued

'So they were dead!? Killed by this demon?! But I was with them!?'

"Your mask is what gives you away as one of Urokodaki's brats! Easy to spot the texture of one of the masks he's carved, they always match the style of the tengu mask he wears! He calls them warding masks right? Except that's who I Pick out who to eat! They're all inside my belly, its as if he's guided them to their deaths!" Y/n was getting more and more mad by the second.

"When I told the girl, she started crying and fell into a rage, but it wasn't long before she lost all control of her movement, I ripped her limb from limb and feasted!"

After that I was about to attack until I saw y/n eye's widen in anger and shock

"Will you just shut up already!" She yelled and ran up to attack him...
