Kamado Tanjiro Vs Muzan Kibutsuji

Chapter 58 { U hv ur sword }

(Tanjiro's POV)

This is Nezuko's Blood Demon Art flame. It's smells like her.

'Onii-chan! What do we do about the fire!' yelled Takeo and Hanako in concern. My clothes slowly burn off replace it with my demon hunter uniform. Alright, I'm waking out little by little. My uniform and nichirin blade are back.

My family sigh in relieve, 'Are you okay, Tanjiro?'

I slowly stand up and head to the exit of my house, 'Sorry, I have to go. I have to go back, I'm sorry.' I run out the house to the forest. Now... A demon is showing me this dream and he's nearby! I have to find a way to kill him now!

I immediately stop when I heard a voice, 'Where are you going onii-chan? I got a lot of vegetables today. Ah, kaa-san, Rokuta.' Nezuko was standing behind me smiling. She's not a demon but her human form.

My mother slowly walks toward me and ask, 'Tanjiro, how do you have that uniform? It's the same as your tou-san's. When do you become a demon hunter?' I was surprised by my mother statement. She knows about the demon hunters?

I reply, 'Yes, kaa-san. I am a demon hunter. I'm fulfilling my duty right now. A lot of people will die if I don't do my duty right now.' I look down the snowy ground.

Ahh... I wanna stay here forever...

I wanna turn back and head home...

If this was real...

I would just stay like this forever...

If this was real...

Everyone will be happy...

Nezuko could also be under the blue sky without any worries, in the light of the sun...

If this was real... If this was real...

I would've just come here to burn some coal today...

I would've never touched a sword before...

If it was real... If it was real!

But I've already lost them! I can't go back!

I sprint off to the forest leaving my family behind.

Rokuta yells at me in a teary tone, 'Onii-chan! Don't leave us behind!' Tears begin to trickle down my face. I'm sorry, Rokuta. We can't be together anymore. But your big brother always thinks about you. He thinks about all of you. I think about saying thank you a lot, I think about saying sorry az lot, I will never ever forget you all. You will always be next to your heart. So please forgive me...

'Don't die Tanjiro! You have a mission to complete right? We will always remember you when you're away! Don't cry and keep living!' yelled my mother. Thank you mother... that really helped me...

(A Boy's POV)

I have to destroy his spiritual core quickly... I pick up my dream pricker and stab through the dream "wall". I enter his unconsciousness area and just stood there speechless. This whole place is so beautiful. It's just a infinitely vast. It's so warm.

In Inosuke dream...

(Another Girl's POV)

Fuh... Fuh... Where's the spiritual core? What's with this weird unconsciousness... That disgusting naked boar... Eh? The hell! What is that creature! Get away from me! Why're you in your consciousness! Gyaaaahh!

In Zenitsu's dream...

(Another Boy's POV)

It's so dark... I can't see anything. Dammit. What's with that blond brat's unconsciousness? Do I seriously have to fumble around for his spiritual core? God dammit, come on... It's hard to breath and my body feels heavy. It's like everything's been completely smeared with ink. What the... What's that sound? Is that a hedge shears sound? Is it getting closer!? I look to my behind and immediately frozen in horror. A sick looking blond boy is behind me!

He says in a very disturbing tone, 'Why did a guy come in here? You shitty vermin. The only one who can come in here is Nezuko-chan. I'll kill you...' He raises his shears and gonna cut me in half. I quickly run away from him while screaming in extreme terror. Why is this guy's unconsciousness is so scary!

(Narrator's POV)

Nobody should be in the unconsciousness area, but basically there are cases when people with a strong consciousness will manifest in their own unconsciousness area... just like Zenitsu's.

Back to Tanjiro's dream...

(Tanjiro's POV)

Not here... There's no demon here but I can smell them faintly... What is this? It's like there's a curtain here. I smell the demons from everywhere... I can't pinpoint their locations. I have to hurry! Nezuko's blood is flowing within me. If everyone else is sleeping, we're in a bad situation! How can I wake up from this dream... How can I...

Back to the real world...

(Lower Moon One's POV)

Weird... They are having troubles. I wonder what happened. Maybe they still haven't destroyed someone's spiritual core yet? Well, they're buying some time, so it's okay... Huh? I feel a weird presence inside the train... Is next to a boy... Suddenly an image flash infront of my eyes. There's a man staring down on me with his eyes. Is the eyes of a demon hunter. They hold no malices nor hatred at all... They are just emotionless... I don't know why but his eyes make me really irritated... Is this whatMuzan-samawas experiencing when he faced this demon hunter?

Back to Tanjiro's dream...

(Tanjiro's POV)

Nothing there also! There are no demons! What's happening? What do I do? I'm sleeping right now... How can I force myself to wake up? In that moment, a presence appear behind my back. I look behind me and my eyes widen in shock.

'Tou-san... is that you?' I said in a disbelief tone.

He turns toward me revealing his sickly face, 'Tanjiro, is good to see you again. Just calm down and have a chat with me.' with a soft spoken tone. I steady my breathing and stand infront of my father. He kneels down and look directly into my red eyes.

He touches my face and ask, 'Tanjiro... What happened to you. Why do you become a demon hunter? I thought you will have a normal life and raise a family? Is our family alright when I'm gone...'

I immediately clench my teeth and fist, 'They... they are not... here... anymore... Nezuko... had turned... into a demon... two years... ago... and is all... my fault... for not protecting... them...' Once my first tear broke free, the rest followed in an unbroken stream. It has been a long time I cried all out.

My father slowly strokes my head gently and reply, 'Don't cry Tanjiro, is not your fault. Your kaa-san and siblings didn't blame you for their passing right? I am really proud of you my son. You have a mission to complete right?'

I say, 'Hai, tou-san...'

'Then, if you want to wake up from this dream, you have your sword. There is something for you to cut down already. Good luck, Tanjiro. I'll be leaving now. I can't stay here forever... Remember, me and your family will always be by your side no matter what.' said my father.

I quickly tackle him into a hug and bid farewell to him, 'Thank you, tou-san... So it's goodbye now? I'm gonna miss you...' He gently smile and slowly disappear from me. I stop myself from crying any longer and stand up on my feet.

(Narrator's POV)

Tanjiro's appearance was reflected on the water's surface. Nezuko's box and his father's existence to talk to him. This was all a warning from Tanjiro's own instinct. Tanjiro could not understand the " small cules" which he should have noticed already, so Tanjiro's consciousness took his own form as well as his father's appeared infront of him and warned him. There's a legend that Tanjiro's hanafuda earrings have a spiritual connection with his ancestors.

(Tanjiro's POV)

There's something for you to cut down... I think I get it... Thank you tou-san... but what if I am wrong? If what I do in my dream affects reality and I can't recover... Screw it! Don't hesitate! Do it! I'm doing it! A death in the dream is related to waking up in reality, so the thing I could cut is my own neck! I position my blade on my neck and yell in full preparedness. Pushing my blade into my neck "killing" myself immediately. Blood begin to spill everywhere all over the snow and the world around me slowly become a blur...
