(Demon Slayer x Fem!Modern Reader)

My name is Urokodaki.

We were walking, heading towards the cave where Nezuko and Tanjiro rested. I had packed a bunch of food, water, and clothes, just in case, and surprisingly, the basket even then was very light. After greeting Tanjiro, we headed out to Mt.Sagiri. By the time we got there, it was night but I'd say night would end in about 3 hours.

We were walking on the mountain path, Tanjiro let Nezuko walk beside him, and we saw some lights up ahead. Tanjiro said that we should check it out, so we did. All of a sudden, Tanjiro stopped, he probably smelt blood. We headed up to the house, and of course there the demon was, feasting on a couple of male humans.

"Hey, you three! Get out, this is my turf! Also, two of you smell awfully bad, I'll kill you." said the demon before running up to us.

 The demon leaped on Tanjiro and Tanjiro landed a hit on the demon.

The demon straight away healed its wound, and jumped on Tanjiro, while Nezuko was still staring at the bloody scene while her mouth watered. I grabbed her hand trying to pry her away from the scene and help Tanjiro. As I did, her grip tightened on my arm causing blood to leave my arm making me whimper.

"Nezuko!" I partially yelled to her.

At the sound of my voice, she snapped back to reality and ran towards Tanjiro and kicked the demon's head off. As the headless body fell, Tanjiro quickly pushed it off. Tanjiro stared at Nezuko with confusion as the headless body started to reach for him again. Nezuko quickly kicked the demon back into a tree. 

As the demon head started speaking, all of us turned to him.

"I knew it! One of you is a demon! No wonder why your scent was weird! Why would a demon and human be teaming up?!" Said the decapitated head.

Tanjiro looked at the demon head with fear, surprise, and worry. He couldn't believe the head was still talking. 

The demon body got up and started to attack Nezuko and after throwing her into the woods with the headless body shortly following.

The decapitated head then grew arms and ran towards Tanjiro, but Tanjiro stopped his attack with his hatchet. He then repeated to slam his head onto the demons. He threw the hatchet and ran to where Nezuko was. I didn't bother following because I knew he'd be okay. 

After Tanjiro and Nezuko came back Tanjiro held up his knife, hoping to kill the demon. 

At the same time as me, Urokodaki spoke.

"You won't kill him with that, y'know." He and I said.

He looked at you with a confused face, but you couldn't see his face so no one really knew. Tanjiro looked at both of you and took a rock.

"That won't do either," I said to Tanjiro.

I looked at Urokodaki and then said.

"How do you expect us to kill a demon with no resources, we're just normal people. You probably have the right materials though." I stared and pointed at Urokodaki.

Urokodaki paused but before he could say or do anything, the sun had already risen cremating the demon.

'How did she know how to kill a demon? She's a normal person right?'

"How did you know how to kill a demon, girl?" Urokodaki asked.

"My family knew quite a few slayers..." I lied while slightly looking away.

Tanjiro then looked around and then ran to the house looking for Nezuko. He found her and was relieved. I went with Urokodaki to pray for the lives that were killed today.

"You three were the ones sent to me by Tomioka Giyu, is that correct?" Urokodaki asked.

"Yes, my name is (Y/N) (L/N)" I said 

"My name is Tanjiro Kamado!" Tanjiro said

"Tanjiro, (Y/N), what will you do if your sister/friend kills a human?" He said firmly.

"I will kill her, then kill myself," I said

"Too slow!" Urokodaki said before slapping Tanjiro.

"You're too slow at making decisions! You couldn't even finish off that demon before daybreak!" Urokodaki firmly said. 

"Do you know why you couldn't answer my question? It's because you're too kind and weak! There are two things you should do if your sister/friend kills a human. One, kill your sister/friend, and two slit your own stomach and die. That's what it means to travel with your sister/friend who's a demon. But you must remember, that is something that should never happen! Your sister/friend killing a human should never happen, ever! Do you hear me??" Urokodaki spoke.

"Yes!" I and Tanjiro said together.

"All right, now I'm going to test you if you are fit to become a demon slayer and a member of the Demon Slayer Corps. Take your sister, Tanjiro, and (Y/N) just follow" Urokodaki said before running off.

~ After a while ~

'A few hours now. We've been running for a few hours now. It's a good thing I practiced my stamina and endurance and did some training back at the village, otherwise, I would've been even more behind Tanjiro. At least, right now, I'm maybe 15-20 feet away from Urokodaki. It's a good thing I didn't laze around...' I thought before giving a sigh.

We finally reached his house.

"The test...starts now, we're going to climb a mountain," Urokodaki said.

Tanjiro screamed while I chuckled at his reaction. Tanjiro put Nezuko inside his hut while I just left my bag inside.

The training to be a full-blown Demon Slayer...

Starts now!
