I Want to Forget [Tokito Muichiro x F!reader fanfiction]

Ch. 4

FLASHBACK:

"M-Mommy!" Y/n tearfully cried upon seeing her mother lying across the floor, bloody and motionless. A demon kneeled over her mother, ripping pieces of flesh from Mothers body and eating it as if it was candy. Another demon on the right seemed not to have noticed Y/n yet. Y/n was only 9, so young, and had already seen disgusting acts, such as this. Y/n pressed her cupped hands over her mouth as the demon about to devour her mother noticed her. The demon looked at her, stood up from the kneeling position and walked over to her.

"What happened-? What did i-no, we- do to deserve this..?" Y/n thought to herself as the demon narrowed its eyes, in scripted with the characters that read "Lower Moon 5 (made up character, not part of the series).

The demon on the left kicked Y/n too the floor, and raised its hand that were adorned with sharp claws. Right as the demon was about to kill her, a flash of black, blue, and purple dashed passed her and beheaded the demon.

Y/n was paralyzed in shock. Her mother had just been killed by a demon, her father and brothers were buying food and firewood and she had just witnessed a strange creature be beheaded. "Are you okay, little girl? Did the demon hurt you?" The demon slayer kindly asked. She was young-maybe 5-6 years older than Y/n, but so strong. The other demon ran. The sun was coming up and they needed to escape the sun.

END OF FLASHBACK

Y/n woke from her dream with a start and sat upright, sweating. "Who was that? Where was that other demon!?" She thought. "Y/n? Are you okay?" Muichiro tiredly asked. It wasn't even dawn yet, but Y/n had almost gotten up from the futon and gotten ready. She had taken her mask off when she had nap before Muichiro came back injured, so he was the first person in the corps to see her without a mask; "Oh," Y/n said remembering she didn't have her mask on (she didn't wear it to sleep-) "Please don't mention this to Kanroji-Sama." Y/n didn't want Mitsuri begging her to take off her mask anymore.

"...Sure." He muttered, sitting up. "What time is it?" he asked. "Like, 4 am," Y/n mumbled. "Why are you up so early?" He asked. "Its nothing." She said, looking out the window. The sky was still dark, and stars glimmered in the night sky. "Do you want to leave now so we get back to the corps early?" Y/n sighed, not breaking her gaze off outside the window, changing the topic.

Muichiro considered it, and was about to respond yes, before they heard a bloodcurdling scream from the downstairs of the inn. "Get your uniform. More demons." Y/n whispered to Muichiro, "I'll see you downstairs. I'll tell you whats going on." Y/n said, already at the door. She ran out of the room in a swift motion and Muichiro wasn't able to hear her footsteps downstairs.

Muichiro quickly got his uniform back on and dashed out of the room after Y/n. Before he set foot on the last fleet of stairs, he was grabbed by the collar and pulled to the side. He looked back up and saw Y/n. She looked not very impressed, but Muichiro could tell she was nervous. "Its an upper moon (again, a made up character-not real) " She whispered, "Everyone downstairs is dead. No survivors." She said, looking down.

Muichiro didn't really care how many people had died, because he was just going to forget, but Y/n hated it. It reminded her how she wasn't able to help her mother when she was killed by that demon. Y/n hadn't noticed Muichiro had crept down the stairs until it was too late. "Goddamit." She silently groaned and followed after him. The demon hadn't sensed either of them, luckily.

When she reached the bottom of the stairs, the area was engulfed in thick layers of fog. She leaped up on a pillar supporting the building and scanned her surroundings. The demon was quckly dodging and blocking Muichiro's attacks. She leaped into the fog and used her sharp eyes to find the demon. She came up behind the demon and kicked it as hard as she could in the back.

"Augh!" The demon hissed in pain. "Oh, not so tough now, hmm? You're weaker than i thought." Y/n teasingly smirked. "You bitch! I'm going to kill you!" the demon snarled. "Wow, rude much." Y/n pouted. The demon swung its arm towards Y/n, who effortlessly dodged it by leaping up in the air. "3rd Form: Lucid Dreams; Blinding Death." Y/n muttered. She flipped midair and a bright light came from her sword. She dashed towards the demon, meanwhile Muichiro had it engaged in battle, distracting it.

She preformed 4 quick slashes with unnatural speed. The demons arms fell off, however it regenerated quickly due to eating so many people. "Ahh, so tragic. Those poor people..." Y/n frowned again, preforming her 6th Form: Echoed Fears. She jumped up, out of sight from the demon. "You know, your master doesn't actually give a shit about you." Her voice echoed around the room.

"Where did she go? Where is her voice coming from!?" The demon wondered, panicking. "Shut up! The lord cares for me! That's why he made me lower moon 3!" The demon yelled. "Really? Or is he just using you? He just wants power. He doesn't give a fuck if you die. He will just replace you and move on." Her voice echoed again.

 By now, Muichiro was positive Y/n was either right behind the demon or right above, preparing to behead it. And he was right. Y/n flipped down from one of the columns  supporting the building and in one swift motion, beheaded it. The echo stopped and Y/n's figure cleared up from the fog. She gave the demon, now disintegrating, a look of disgust, before she noticed Muichiro staring at her, and looked away, embarrassed. "I apologize you had to hear me utter those words. Gomenasai." She bowed.

She walked out of the building and swung her sword back into its scabbard. She looked at Muichiro one last time, and began walking out of the village. Before she could exit, drowsy villagers began to look outside to see what was the cause of the commotion. A bit later, villagers cheered upon realizing the demons terrorizing their town were dead. They thanked Y/n and Muichiro with food, even though it was only about 5 am.

Y/n sweatdropped and thanked the villagers, but told them she had no way to carry the food. They apologized and took 70% of it back. Y/n was donated a small sack to carry the leftover food in, and did just that.

On the way back, Y/n was unnaturally silent. She said a few words, mostly asking questions to Muichiro, but not much else. They passed by a few towns and stands, and while Y/n seemed intrigued by a few items, such as some rings and kimonos, plus a pair of expensive fans, she didn't get anything.

Once they arrived back at the corps headquarters, they were taken the butterfly estate. They didn't have any major injuries, since Y/n had already bandaged Muichiro's injuries, but nonetheless, Shinobu insisted on checking. They were sitting in the treatment room, where many demon slayers were sitting on beds holding their bloody noses. "Was that Shinazugawa-San?" Y/n wondered.
