Kamado Tanjiro Vs Muzan Kibutsuji

Chapter 38 { Genuine and Fake }

(Inosuke's POV)

I yell, 'Fight with me hanhan baori! You beat one of the Twelve Demons Moons and I'll beat you! If I do the calculations, I'll be the strongest one!' while pointing at him.

He replies, 'Discipline yourself once more you fool. That wasn't even one of the Twelve Demon Moons just now. He is way too weak to be one. You don't even get that?' while grabbing a rope.

Tick marks start to appear on my head, 'Whaaaat! I do get it! Tanjiro said he is one of them! I just told you exactly what he told me... Huh?' I was tied up on a tree branch. When did I get tied up? This guy is quick! I could react to his movement!

I yell again, 'Wait dammit! Hey wait!'

He replies calmly, 'I won't get involved in a fight with someone who doesn't know the extent of his own injuries. Goodbye.' He slowly walk away from me while ignoring my blabbers.

(Tanjiro's POV)

Huff huff... his tough. His strength suddenly increased and his threads become red and stronger! I have to be careful about his threads. At any time my blade will be dice in half by the threads. I roll to the side to avoid his upcoming thread attack. This guy is very skilled in manipulate threads. It is now getting harder to dodge them.

I get into a high sword stance and yell, 'Breath Of The Sun! Seventeenth Style Perpetual Day, Full Sun - Unending!' I release a wild storm of slashes in multiple directions. The slashes was powerful enough to slice up the ground and the trees around me and also cut the red threads that he created. I dash toward him and get into a low sword stance while running.

When I get close to him I yell, 'Eighth Style Shining Sun Stab!' I thrust my fiery sword toward him but he dodge at the last moment. I impaled his arm and he rip his own arm off. He immediately release a web of threads toward me in a close distance. Oh no! I cannot dodge it! I block myself using my blade and prepare to take the attack head on but I feel no pain at all, just only the smell of blood. I look infront of me and my eyes widen, Nezuko is infront of me blocking the attack. I quickly grab her and lead her to a nearby tree.

I say in a worry tone, 'Nezuko! Nezuko! Are you alright! You protected your onii-chan! I'm sorry!' while covering her wound with my hand.

The demon girl widens her eyes when she saw Nezuko, 'A girl came out of the box he was carrying... but she has the presence of a demon...' while looking at the demon boy Rui.

He points his finger toward me and says, 'Sibiling? They are sibilings.' with a angry tone.

I yell at him, 'So what of it! You never care about your allies!' Nezuko's wounds are bad... her right wrist looks like it got torn off. Come on heal quickly... heal quickly.

He begin to mumble, 'Sibilings... sibilings... His sister became a demon and yet they are together. The sister protected the brother... she offered her body... These geniune bonds! I want them!'

The demon girl immediately sweat in fear, 'Wait... a minute! Wait please! I'm your big sister! Don't abandon your big sister!'

He swing his hand toward her and he releases threads to diced her to pieces while yelling, 'Shut up! Be quiet!' The threads also destroyed the trees behind the demon girl.

He says in annoyance, 'In the end, you guys couldn't even handle your own duties. No matter the occasion.'

The demon girl's chopped head replies, 'Wait... I'm your real sister right? Let me recover and...'

He looks at her and says, 'Then go kill of the guys darting about the mountains right now. Then I forgive you for that inccident a while ago.'

Her body begin to regenerate and pick up her head, 'I understand... I'll kill them...' She walking away from the scene.

He turns toward me and says, 'Now boy... Lets have a talk. You see I was so moved by watching your bonds. My body quivered. I think there are definitely no words to describe my feeling. It'll be sad if things turn out this way but there is only one way to avoid this. If you don't agree I will kill you guys. Hand me over your sister and I'll spare your life. Sounds fine? I'll make your sister my own starting today.'

My anger risen to a new level. How can he take my sister!

I hug Nezuko tightly and yell, 'Don't expect that to happen and beside she is not a thing. She has emotion too! I won't hand her to you! Do you hear me!'

He continue saying, 'It's okay, you're connected by unaided bonds. So my bonds of fear are stronger than yours. I'll teach you what'll happen when you opposed my offer.'

I chuckled a bit and say, 'Bonds of fear... What kind of bond is that! It's not a real bond! Nobody want this type of bond! That's outrageous! Poisoning your "family" in fear is not a bond in my book! If you can't correct your way of thinking about bonds, you never get a real bond!'

He laughed menacingly, 'Hahahaha... you are very irritating boy! It doesn't matter. I'll kill you and take her.'

I say in a very serious tone, 'I'll take your head off first before you can get my sister.'

He replies in a cocky, 'Hehehe... Try if you can. Try and take off my face if you can defeat me... One of the Twelve Demon Moons.' while lifting his hair revealing a lower six kanji on his left eye.
