Kamado Tanjiro Vs Muzan Kibutsuji

Chapter 41 { Kochou shinobu }

(Older Sister Spider Demon's POV)

I failed! I failed! Eventhough I'm the only one who hasn't failed up to now. At pretending to be family! Every member of the family was just gathered together. There is no blood connection. We were afraid of the demon hunters and we wanted allies. Rui was the one with all the power.

We ourselves are weak demons so he split his power between us. Rui's was the lord's favourite so he was also allowed to do that. We he came here, we had to change our appearance first of all. We abandon our looks to resemble him. The woman that is playing as a mother was actually a young demon. In the beginning, she still remembered when she was a human so she cried a lot. Of course she was terrible at being the mother.

Deformities on her face and her body was disgusting and was abused everyday. Those who didn't follow Rui's orders and rules will be chopped up or had their intellect taken away. He will also supends them and expose them to the sunlight. I should have been fine by myself. Those guys were idiots, but I was totally different and yet I failed.

I warned Rui, 'Rui! Rui! Kaa-san got defeated and nii-san as well! What do we do now? The demon hunters who are coming here are gathering together! Hey, listen... Should we be running?' with a fearful tone. He just look at me with his scary eyes and did not say a word. It still might have been better that it ended at my face getting stab. He hates it the most when my face goes back to normal and he loves the stupid word "protect". I bet he is dead by now. Suddenly, I saw a demon hunter in the area.

She turn her head towards me and greeted me, 'Good evening... The moon is so beautiful today.' with a calm voice. I immediately tense up all my muscle in fear. She is not like the other demon hunters. She is stronger than them!

I quickly yell, 'Blood Demon Art! Acid Cocoon!' I shoot a lot of webs from my palm trapping her in a web cocoon. I waited for a while to see any movement but I don't see any.

I sigh in relieve and mocked her, 'It seems like you are not strong enough. My webs may feel soft but they're tough. The acidic fluids will melt your bothersome clothes first then you will slowly get more squishy. I will suck your fluids dry!'

A voice rings next to my ear, 'Wow~ That's amazing. Do the webs come out from your palms? How do you suck the fluids from the web cocoon?' I look behind me and widen my eyes in shocked. It was the same demon hunter. How can she escape from my cocoon?!

I quickly jump back several metres from her and release my technique, 'Blood Demon Art! Webs Of Raging Tide!' I produce a stream of webs in each palm and swing it like a tide. She dodge all my attacks easily without any effort.

She look at me with her gradient purple eyes, 'So it seems like you don't intend to get along with me sweetheart~~' with a very scary tone. She holds her blade's handguard and started to draw it. The pressure around her suddenly changed. It cuts my breath short and it's different from Rui's. That's a sign of death infront of me.

Making a stop sign and I yell, 'Wait please! Wait a minute! I being forced to follow order! Help me! If I disobey, the threads around the area will rip me to shred.'

The girl just looks at me and says, 'Is that so? It's heart-breaking you poor soul. I'll help you out and lets get along. So please cooperate with me.'

I slowly let my guard down and reply, 'Really... you will help me?'

She smiles cheeful and say, 'Yeah, but I have a few things to ask you before we get along. You're quite cute miss. How many people did you killed?'

I look at her and started to cry, 'I was forced to so I had no choice. Five... I killed five.'

She answers, 'You don't have to lie. I know. The way you handle your technique to cocoon me awhile ago was marvellous. You ate eighty people, right?'

I lie to her, 'I don't really eat them. I killed five of them.'

She smiles again, 'I came from the west side and same goes to you. I saw a lot of cocoon dangling from trees. Every person inside the cocoon was completely dissolved into liquid. There were forty cocoon in that place alone so forty dead people.'

I look at her in annoyance and say, 'What is your point right now. Why are checking this?'

She slowly walks toward me with a uncomfortable smile, 'I'm not mad about this. I'm just checking the precise number. Miss you're going to get a proper punishment and turn over a new leaf. If you do that, we can be friend!'

I ask suspiciously, 'What... punishment...?'

She answers cheerfully in a scary way, 'Ara Ara, if you take people lives and not receive a punishment is not fair for them. I'm going to torture you according to the number of people you killed. I'll do stuff like burning you alive, digging out your eyeballs slowly, gutting you alive, slashing open your stomach and pull you inside out and many more! When you endure all the pain and suffering, you will resolve your crime! Isn't the punishment fun? Let work hard together!' while fist pumping into the air.

I tense all my body muscle and let up my guard to the highest, 'Don't joke with me! You are crazy!' I release the same technique toward her.

She quickly jumps up into the air and use her sword technique while diving towards me, 'Breath Of The Insect. Dance Of The Butterflies Frolic.' She zooms past me and suddenly I was stabbed in various places.

She turns her face toward me and says, 'Too bad we can't get along... I see you in hell. Bye bye.' I couldn't see her. She way too fast but she didn't cut off my head. She has a small build so she is physically weak. She can't cut off my head! I can win this! I reach my hand out toward her preparing to attack her. Suddenly my whole body stiffens. A wave of painful spread throughout my body and I scream painfully. I kneel down onto the ground and my body started to crumble and melt at the same time.

She swing her blade side way to remove the blood on her blade, ' Don't let your guard down miss. A swordlady like me uses poison. Let me introduce myself. I'm the Insect Hashira, Kochou Shinobu. I may be the only swordlady among the pillars who can't cut a demon's head off but anyone who creates poison that can kill demons can be quite amazing. Eh? You are dead so you can't hear me anymore? Whoopsies.' while hitting her head lightly with an awkward expression.
