Kamado Tanjiro Vs Muzan Kibutsuji

Chapter 2 { To the Mountains }

Tanjiro's POV)

'I beg your pardon but may I take that basket and a little straw and bamboo?' I say to a farmer.

He reply, 'We don't mind but the basket has a hole in it.'

I say, 'That's all I pay you?'

He responds, 'No need. It's a broken basket.'

I quickly say, 'Please let me pay.'

He says, 'No thank you. You can have the other stuff too.'

I yell, 'But I want to pay!'

He quickly replies, 'We don't want it. What a stubborn kid!'

I slap some coins onto his palm very hard, 'Just take it! It's just a few coins anyway!' He scream in pain while I gather all the stuff, 'Thank you very much!' I arrived at a cave that I put Nezuko in and called her name, 'Nezuko! Hmm? Nezuko! She's gone!' Suddenly that a head pop up from a hole, 'There she is!' I said when I saw her. I look at the hole and think, 'Did she dig that hole? My sister is like a mole now. Her face is scrunched up. She must really not want the sunlight to hit her.'

I say, 'Just wait, Nezuko.' I quickly use the stuffs that I just bought to repair the broken basket. When I finished, I walk into the cave with the basket and say to her, ' Will you fit in here? I want us to travel during the day. I'll carry you.' She look at me speechlessly and it's getting awkward. I say one more time to her, 'Get in. Here. The basket.' She begin to get out of the hole a go into the basket but she is too big to fit in the basket. When I look at her I think, 'Nezuko has grown up. I still think she is still a little girl.'

Suddenly I realised something, 'Hmm? Nezuko you're as big as an adult. Can you reverse that and get smaller?' I pat her back while saying, 'Get smaller Nezuko. Smaller.'

Suddenly she push the basket up with her body trying to get in and shrinks her size. When she is done, I pat her head, 'That's perfect! Good girl, Nezuko! I'm impressed!' I cover the basket with a old cloth and carry it down a road. I ask some villagers for direction and they say, 'To get to Mount Sagiri, you first have to cross that mountain. The sun will set soon and you're going to carry that heavy load? It's dangerous.'

I reply to them, 'I'll be plenty careful. Thank you very much.'

They warn me, 'Don't get lost! People really do dissapear up there...'

I cross a mountain while carrying Nezuko. It was dark now. I put down the basket and let her get out of the basket. I grab her hand and continue walking. On the way, I saw a way station. I say to her, 'There's a way station. There's a light on. Someone must be there. Lets go.' When I get near the station, I suddenly smell blood. I quickly rush to the station, 'These mountain paths are dangerous. That traveler may be injured!'

I open the door and say, 'Are you all right!' I freeze for a moment when I saw a man-eating demon eating people in the station.'

He look at me and says, 'What?! This is my territory! Get away from my feeding ground!' I look beside me and notice Nezuko is drooling. Is she gonna eat the dead people?!

Suddenly he says, 'Hmm...? Something's wrong here. Are you two humans?'He suddenly pound toward me and push me outside the station. I quickly grab my axe from my axe sheat and slice the demon's chin. He stop and stand there for a while. He says, 'An axe?! Ha! Ha! HA! Not bad! But a wound like this will heal in no time! See? The bleeding already stopped!'The wound on his chin quickly healed. He immediately pound at me again. I quickly take a deep breath and my vains budge out. I hold the demon and throw him several metre away from me. He was quite shocked to see a human with this kind of strength. I hold my axe with two hand and let out a hiss sound. I rush toward him with inhuman speed and yell, 'Sun breathing! Thirteen form Bright Sun: Morning Palace!' I do a horizontal slash with my axe set ablaze and create a burning slash with sun shaped blades originate from my slash. I slash the demon's head off immediately. His head fall on to his hands but he haven't die. He yell, 'What the hell! My body feels like it's burning! I can't regenerate! You little brat, I gonna kill you!'Suddenly Nezuko appear from my side and kicked the demon. He was pushed back several metre near a cliff. He look at her and says, 'Why youuu! I knew it! One of you is a demon! Something didn't seem right! What are a demon and a human doing together?!' Nezuko immediately kicks his body off the cliff but his head suddenly grow two arms and launches toward me. I quickly grab the demon's head while grabbing a knife from my pocket and stab the knife into the demon's arm on a tree to pin him. He keep thrashing around but failed to unpin the knife in his arms on the tree. Suddenly he went unconcious. I quickly went to Nezuko to check her. She is fine but the demon's body that fall down the cliff become unresponsive after the fall. I walk infront of the demon's head and think while grabbing my axe with two hands, 'Wow! How many demons are there? He smells different than the one that was at my house. A different demon. But if I don't kill him, He'll attack more people. So I have to do this.' I raise my axe and gonna cut him down but suddenly a hand reach behind my shoulder and grab me. I quickly turn around and see a old man wearing a tengu mask.

The old man says, 'You can't kill it with that.'
