Kamado Tanjiro Vs Muzan Kibutsuji

Chapter 21 { Drum House }

(Tanjiro's POV)

I look back at the man and he is not moving an inch. He's dead already. He must have been painful. He must have suffered. Suddenly the boy kid says, 'He... He isn't our brother. Our brother was wearing yellowish brown clothing.' So a lot of people are being kept prisoners. When I come back, I' m going give the man a proper burial... I'm sorry, I'm so sorry...

I say, 'Zenitsu! Lets go!' He look at me and suddenly shiver in intensive fear while shaking his head.

I look at him in dissapointment and reply, 'I see. I understand.' I turn my back and walk toward the house.

He suddenly launch toward me and hug my back, 'Yahh! What is it! Don't look at me with that face full of fury! I'll come along okay!'

I reply angrily, 'I don't plan on forcing you.'

He yells, 'I'll come along as well!' I place the box that I am carrying near the kids and say, 'I'm placing this box here in case of any danger. No matter what happens, it will protect you both.' with a reassuring tone. I turn toward the house and begin to approach the house with a serious expression. When we enter the house, I immediately smell the place and sense some demon scents.

Zenitsu cowardly says, 'Tanjiro... Tanjiro, are you listening? You will protect me right? You will definitely protect me right?'

I reply without facing him, 'Zenitsu, there's something I must apologise to you about. Actually, my ribs and leg have both factures that haven't healed yet due to my last battle. So...'

He widens his eyes and yelled, 'EHHH! Why do you have fractures! How do you have bone fractures! If you have bone fractures, who's going to protect me! I'm going to die! YAHHH! What do I do! What do I do! I'll die I'll die I'll die I'll definitely die! Being told you have bone fractures has killed me! I'm already dead! 99 percent already dead!'

I say, 'Zenitsu be quite. You will be fine.' I put my hand on his shoulder.

He pushed away my hand and yells, 'Stop comforting me!'

I reply, 'Listen to me. I know that Zenitsu you...' I widens my eyes when I saw the kids running toward me.

I say, 'No you can't! You guys can't come in here!'

They reply, 'It's because big brother's box is rattling around...'

I say, 'Even...! Even so, you guys can't leave it there! That box is something even more important than my life...' Suddenly the whole house rumbles. The boy kid's little sister jumped onto me and push me to another room with her brother and Zenitsu on the other side. Suddenly the room changed into another room. I look around the room and noticed the entire room changed. No, were we the ones that moved? Moving along with the drum beat... Suddenly the little girl hug me and started crying.

I confort her, 'I'm sorry for getting you separated from your brother but I'll definitely protect you. Zenitsu will also protect your brother so don't worry. What's your name?' while wiping her tears off her face.

She replies, 'Teruko...'

I say, 'Is that so. Your name sounds really nice.' Suddenly I heard footsteps coming from outside the room. It reveal a big demon. It has drums on his body. From the many numerous scents, this scent is the strongest. It has already spread and covered the entire house. It must have eaten quite a few people! He is this house's master!

At Zenitsu side...

He yells, 'Gonna die! Gonna die! Gonna die! I'm gonna die! I definitely dying! I'm separated from Tanjiro!'

The little girl's brother also yells, 'Teruko! Teruko!'

He says, 'No no, don't call out to her so loudly! Lets go outside!'

The boy look at him with a irritated face, 'Why are we leaving? Do you plan on running away by yourself? You keep crying about dying and dying. Don't you feel any shame at all? Is that sword on your waist a fake?'

Zenitsu suddenly spilt blood from his mouth comically, 'Those word are really sharp... Uwah! Uwah... Guhah! You misunderstand me, it's because I can't do anything alone by myself so I want to find somebody to... I want to find a grown-up to help me!' while holding the boy's hand.

The boy yells, 'Let go of me!'

He yelled back, 'This isn't a situation that us children can handle by ourselves already!' He drag the boy to the exit.

When he opened the door, he widens his eyes, 'No say No way No way! I remember that this was the entrance! Where did the outside go... This door! Is it this way!' He suddenly shiver in fear when see a boy that is the same as his age wearing a boar mask. He is staring right back at him.

Zenitsu shouted in fear, 'Monster! Ahhhhh!' He crouch down onto the ground while screaming. The boar mask boy just dashes past him and run down the hallway. The little girl's brother look at Zenitsu with a deadpan expression.

Zenitsu yells, 'Why do you look at me with that gaze?! Don't look at me like that!'

Back to Tanjiro...

I say, 'Teruko... Hold on and don't scream. Don't go into the corridor, even if the room moves. Back away. Hide behind the shelves.' I stared at the demon while he is walking by the room.

He says, 'Why does everyone not know any manners. Just barging into the home of someone else. It pisses me off! They are all my prey found in my territory... That guy is also... They all are...' with very annoyed tone.

(Narrator's POV)

Tanjiro is a a guy that just can't ambush other people. He is just too nice to sneak attack people or demons.

(Tanjiro's POV)

I shout at him, 'I am Kamado Tanjiro, level 10 of the demon hunters! I am going to cut you down!' I take in a deep breath and launch toward him with great speed.

He suddenly says, 'That is a child of "rare blood" that I've found...' When I am gonna strike him, he hit the drum on his right shoulder. Suddenly the while room turn to the side. I fall on the side and landed. I quickly look at Teruko and she is fine. The tatami went on the side. The entire room turned on its side. This must be the Blood Demon Art of this demon. The entire house is this demon's territory! Huh? What going on? A scent is approaching. Suddenly one of the door in the room sudden burst broken and reveal a boy wearing a boar mask.

He keep shouting, 'Pig Assault! Pig Assault!' while landing on the side of the room.
