Kamado Tanjiro Vs Muzan Kibutsuji

Chapter 26 { Bare Handed Fight }

(Zenitsu'sPOV)

In the past, I also had a sharp hearing like I do right now. Sometimes when I sleep, I'm also able to understand what other people are saying and it really creep me out. Yhe demon's has dissapear so Tanjiro has defeated the demon. I can hear Tanjiro and the others being noisy and also a strange set of footsteps.

Suddenly some one wake me up from my slumber, 'Zenitsu-san!'

I reply, 'Are you okay?'

He says in concerned, 'We were blown out of the house as its layout changed. We fell out of the second story window. It's all thanks to Zenitsu's hard work that I was able to remain unharmed.' with sweat drip down from his face.

I respond, 'Really? That's good but why are you crying?' I touch my back side of my head and noticed there's blood on my palm.

I shouted and realised why he is crying, 'Oh, I see?! So there was something that fell on top of my head?!' Suddenly the front door at the house burst broken. It reveal a boy wearing a boar mask.

He yells, 'Pig Assault! Pig Assault! Ahahahaha! I detect a presence of a demon!'

I widen my eyes in realisation, 'Ah! That person is... i heard his sound just now so I know... The 5th person that qualified... He was the fastest person during the final selection to go up and down the mountain! He's a hotheaded sort of person!'

He suddenly look toward the box that Tanjiro placed down and rush toward it holding his blades out. I quickly jumped infront of the box and yell, 'Stop! I won'y allow you to lay your hands on this box! This is Tanjiro's most precious possession!'

He replies, 'Hey hey hey, what are you talking about? Don't you know that there's a demon inside the box?'

Shadow cover my eyes and I say, 'I knew that from the beginning.' I know he carries a demon around him. A demon's sound and a human's sound is fundamentally different to each other. However, because Tanjiro has a sound so gentle that it makes me want to cry. This was a sound so gentle that I've never heard of before until I met him.

All living things will produce sounds. Lots and lots of different sound. The sound of breathing, the sound of the heart beating, the sound of blood flowing... All I have to do is concentrate and listen hard, then I'll be able to know what a person is thinking about. But I keep getting decieved by people. I've always been trusting only the people that I want to trust. Tanjiro is a demon hunter, yet he also carries a demon with him. He must have a reason to do this. I'm willingly to trust that his reason is definitely something that I can accept.

I open my mouth and say, 'I want to... ask Tanjiro about this face to face... so you... should just get the hell out of the way first!' with a very serious face.'

The boy replies, 'You sure do like to talk! Impressive! You're just a coward that's afraid to even pull out his own blade!' He kicked my face hard and blood started to drip down from my nose. I fall down onto the ground beaten up while hugging the box to protect it.

(Tanjiro's POV)

I widen my eyes when I see Zenitsu laying on the ground while protecting the box helplessly. Suddenly the scene replaced with an image of Nezuko hugging Rokuta while laying on the snow bloody up.

The boy wearing a boar mask suddenly yells at Zenitsu, 'I'm going to skewer you along with the box!' He raised his blades and gonna swing down onto him and the box. I rushed toward the boy with inhuman speed and concentrate all my blood flow to one of my arm. I punched the boy really hard in the chest and a crack sound is heard. He was sent flying to a tree and hit it. The impact was so hard it broke the tree behind him.

I yell, 'Stop! Aren't you a team member of the demon hunters?!'

Zenitsu widens his eyes in shocked, 'His bone are broken!'

I continue yelling at the boy, 'Do you know why Zenitsu won't pull out his sword? Because it's taboo for teams members to pull their blades out and bully others! And you're here enjoying yourself while others are in pain? You are really despicable!' I clench my fist and veins starting to budge out on my face. I was very angry.

He get up from the ground while coughing some blood, 'Cough... Cough... Ha ha ha... Guhaha. Gehahahaha! So that's how it is. I'm sorry. Then let's duel with our bare hands!'

I quickly recorrect him, 'No, I still think you don't understand anything at all. First of all...' He suddenly get up and rushed toward me delivering a high kick toward me. I quickly dodge it.

I continue saying while blocking his attack, 'Team members who ate both demon hunters are not allowed to duel each other! This isn't a problem that can be solved with bare hands!' I ducked his kicks and do a front kick to his chest. He was pushed back a few metre.

He yells at me, 'I don't care about the rules! I just want to fight to prove who is stronger!' while charging towards me. He quickly do a lot of punches and I blocked them all. The direction of his attacks are abnormally low! This is just like I'm fighting a four-legged beast! I quickly do a backfilp to create distants between him and me.

Zenitsu look at our battle and thinks, 'Uwahhh, this guy... What sort of agility is that? Tanjiro's ribs are broken as well and actually... He has broken bones too... Tanjiro has broken the taboo as well?'

Shadow covered my eyes and I say, 'Fine... If you don't listen to me... I have to disable you by force... Be prepare...' with a calm and frightening voice. I take in a deep breath and my forehead's scar tranformed into a red demon crest marking. I look up toward him with my furious yet calm eyes. He started to shake in fear and was sweating profusely. I dissapear in flames and starts to attack him.

(The boy's POV)

What is this?! His vibes completely changed! His battle spirit suddenly dissapear! Is he even human?! I never met a human that can produce this kind of presence. His presence is almost godly! It felt like a very heavy rock pressing down on my shoulders with great force! His presence alone can make normal people faint if they are not demon hunters! He is very dangerous. He is way too fast for me to track his movement. I have to be very careful of him...

(Tanjiro's POV)

I appear behind him and hit him very hard with my fist. He was sent flying several metres. He crashed onto the ground and coughed out a lot of blood. I appeared infront of him. He tries to grab me but I quickly land an axe kick on his head and he went unconcious. I slowly pull of his mask and my eyes widen a bit. His face is like a beautiful woman. He has messy shoulder-length black hair that fades to a blue color and large green eyes with long eyelashes.I carry him on my back and walk to Zenitsu and the kids. I place him down and I reverted back to my normal state. Suddenly a wave of fatigues came rushing toward all parts of my body. The whole world suddenly become black and I fainted.
