Kamado Tanjiro Vs Muzan Kibutsuji

Chapter 19 { Always Together }

(Tanjiro's POV)

I dropped my sword and go down on my knee in horror. I am too tired to stand up. I turn toward Tamayo and say, 'Is it dead?'

She replies, 'It died in an instant. This is the curse. Kibutsuji's cells destroy the body of the demon from within. Basically, fights between demons amount to nothing and are pointless because apart from sunlight and the blades of demon slaying swordsmen, nothing will cause lethal damage to demons. However, it seems that Kibutsuji is able to destroy demon cells.'

Yushiro walk over toward me and cover my mouth and nose with a napkin, 'Don't breath in Tamayo-sama's technique! It's harmful to humans.'

Tamayo suddenly says, 'Tanjiro, the demon girl and boy you just killed weren't one of the Twelve Demon Moons.'I widen my eyes in shock.

She explains, 'If she was one of them, a number would have been carved on their eyeballs. As you can see, they don't have it. I'm afraid the demon that is killed by the curse just now isn't one of the Twelve Demon Moons as well because he was too weak.' They are not the Twelve Demon Moons? They ate strong but the Twelve Demon Moons will be even stronger than this?! I really have to prepare myself to defeat them!

She continue saying, 'I have already collected blood from them. I will now examine Nezuko. When I was injecting her with the medicine, she breathed in a lot of my technique as well. My apologies.'

Yushiro says, 'So there are demons that have gone round the bend as well. It dared to harm Tamayo-sama's glorious body. This is what it deserved. I'm not covering your ass any longer. Go use some cloth and cover your mouth with it! I don't want to leave Tamayo-sama's side, not even for half a step!' I look at him awkwardly and turn to the demon's body that's rip to pieces by the curse. I slowly walk to there and kneel down infront of it. It let out a small teary voice, 'Mama... Where are you... Come play with me...' Such a child like personality but it killed so many people. Suddenly the sun come out. It body pieces slowly crumble away in dust.

I say, 'Please rest in peace. I hope you'll find you mother in the afterlife.' They were coered lied to and forced to do battle all because of that supposed Twelve Demon Moons title. And in the end it died because ofKibutsuji'scurse. I couldn't save it... It dissapears without a trace after its death. Is this their deserved fate for them taking the lives of other people...Kibutsujithat able to kill demons that admire him so the real demon...

I called, 'Tamayo-san, where are you?'

She replies, 'Here, come to the basement.' I slowly walk into the house and fo down the basement. When I arrived, I saw them with Nezuko. Nezuko quickly run towards me and give me a hug. I smile at her gesture. She also turns around and walk to Tamayo to hug her while patting Yushiro's head.

Tamayo says, 'Nezuko has been in this state ever since things ended. It's alright?'

I reply, 'It's okay. She probably thinks the two of you are people she knows from our old home.'

She continue to say, 'But the suggestion place upon Nezuko wasn't treat humans as family? We are demons...'

I answer, 'It's because Nezuko decided to treat you as a humans that she is willing to protect you. I... eventhough I hate the fact that Nezuko was given a suggestion to her behaviour against her will... It seems that she still retains her own will so I'm grateful for that...' Tamayou hugs Nezuko back and started crying.

I immediately apologise, 'I'm sorry! Nezuko! Nezuko! Let her go! Let go of her, you're being disrespectful!'

Tamayo suddenly says, 'Thank you Nezuko. Thank you.' When I heard that, I calm down.

Yushiro look at the scene and think about his past, 'Do you want to continue living? Eventhough you won't continue living as a human... At this rate, you will eventually die. However, A non-human life is very difficult and very painful.'

Tamayo says, 'We will leave this place. This place is too close to Kibutsuji. If we don't hide ourselves quickly, we will be in grave danger. Also even if we are able to hide ourselves through some crafty mans as a doctor that needs to come into contact with other people. There will eventually be a day when other people find out that I am a demon. The sense of children and old people are especially sharp. Tanjiro, are you willing to leave Nezuko with us.'

I widen my eyes at her statement and say, 'Eh?...'

She continue saying, 'Eventhough we can't say for certain that we can keep her away from harm. It's still much safer than bringing her into the battlefield.'

I think for a while before I make my decision. What they say does make sense to me... She's right. Leaving Nezuko here is for her own good as well... Suddenly Nezuko grabs my hand tightly. She look at me with her slitted eyes while shaking her head.

I look down onto the ground with a sad smile and reply, 'Thank you for your offer but we will continue down this path of ours together. We will not be parted. Never again.'

Tamayo smile at me while saying, 'I understand. Then I wish you the best for your coming battles. Goodbye now. We will leave once we erase all traces of us from this place. You two should hurry along.'

I reply, 'Ah, okay. Erm... the sky is already bright outside. The box...'

Suddenly Yushiro says, 'Tanjiro, your sister is a great beauty.' I look at him and give him a happy and warm smile. Tamayo widens her eyes when she sees myself. She was shocked that a person can possess this kind of smile that can reassure and give people warms immediately. It was a very pleasant feelings. I give my farewell to them and carry Nezuko that is in the box continue our road. When on the road, my crow lands on my shoulder and says, 'South south east, south south east, south south east! The next location is south south east! Caw!'

I reply, 'I get it! I get it already, can you please be quite... please.'

I jolted up a bit when I heard a scream, 'PLEASE! I BEG YOU, I BEG YOU! PLEASE MARRY ME! I DON'T KNOW WHEN I'LL DIE! SO PLEASE MARRY ME! I BEG YOU!' I saw a boy with blond hair begging for a distressed girl to marry her.

I find the situation quite weird, 'Huh?...' The crow also stared at the situation speechlessly.
