The Flower Demon: [Demon Slayer x Male reader]

Backstory Chapter #3

Days went on as wanted. They were quiet and pleasant.

Until tragedy struck.

(M/n) was sleeping comfortably in his bed until the sound of screams, hisses and yells filled his room.

He quickly rose from his slumber and stepped barefoot out of his room.

"What's...going on?"

As he traveled through the Mansion walls, blood was appearing in serious amounts.

"......" (M/n) whimpered as he searched for his family.

He went to his mother's room which had the presence of humans in it. This was unusual, and cause fear in the young boys heart.

He opened the door and saw a sight he never wanted to see.

His mother laying on the ground bathing in the pool if her own blood that leaked from her stomach.

"M-mom?"

The sudden voice caused his mother's murders to direct their attention to him.

"Is that the child?" The male asked, holding his mother's umbrella.

"According to what our contactor mentioned, the mother's blood was infected by the Demon King himself. Which means he has tons of his blood flowing through his veins." The other said, slowly advancing to the child.

"If that's the truth, we can't let him live." The person's sword was drawn as he raised it slowly.

"Don't hurt me!" The younger male screamed.

"Believe me, kid. This is mercy." The slayer slashes down his blade, but it collided with another.

"You filthy bastards!" A male yelled, wearing a cosmic haori.

"Brother?"

"How dare you touch my family!" He pushed back the slayers blade.

"Clock Breathing: Second Form, Instant Chronicles, Shattered Time Heaven!" (B/n) made three time stopping strikes at the male that didn't register until time itself processed what the male had did.

The first strike knocked the blade out the male's hand, the second strike made a gash on the male's chest, and the third cut off one of the male's arms.

"Why are you protecting a demon?!" The other slayer yelled, slightly hesitant of attacking.

(B/n) didn't answer. He stood in another stance and sighed.

This ticked the other male off and he attacked.

"Clock Breathing: Third Form, Instant Chronicles, Time Zone!" It seems that time has slowed when the slayer decided to attack (B/n).

The time slow made it easier for the older brothers to dodge the attack and didn't hesitate to strike back.

He ultimately killed the other slayer.

"Come on, let's go!" The brother grabbed the younger male's hand began to make his way out the door.

"Wait, no!" (M/n) tugged, breaking free from his older brother's grasp.

He went to grab his mother's parasol. He held it close as he followed his brother to what he assumed was safety.

"B-Brother, what's happening?! Why was mother b-bleeding?!"

"We're being raided by Hashiras and regular slayers. Stay close to me." The brother commanded.

They both walked through the hallways of the former sanctuary that used to be their home.

"Hey! Where do you think you're running of too?" A male with an fiery hair asked.

"(M/n), get behind me!"

He didn't want to anger his brother so he did as told.

"A slayer protecting a demon? You do know the consequences of that action, right?" The slayer had his sword drawn and (M/n) could see his brother's figure shake.

"Brother?"

"It's a Hashira.." The older male's voiced drafted off.

(M/n) attempted to sense his aura and found it intimidating.

"They have such strength." (M/n) muttered under his breath.

"This is your only warning, step away from the demon." The Hashira gripped the handle of the sword.

"I refuse." Despite his fear, he answered the Hashira quickly.

"Very well."

"Flame Breathing: First Form, Unknown Fire!" The Hashira dashed with amazing speeds to quickly decapitate (M/n).

"Clock Breathing: Third Form, Instant Chronicles, Time Zone!" Slowing time enabled (B/n) to step up and block the Hashira's attack.

The Hashira grunted in disapproval.

(B/n) and the Hashira clashed attacks over and over. Trails of flame occasionally surrounding the field.

"Clock Breathing: Second Form, Instant Chronicles, Shattered Time Heaven!" Slashes overtook the field as (M/n)'s brother actively caught up with the Hashira.

"Flame Breathing: Third Form, Blazing Universe!" The Hashira made an active downpour attack that hit (B/n).

(B/n) grunted but kept going.

"Clock Breathing: Fourth Form, Broken Clock!" (B/n) went for a slash that he missed, but his move seemed to have rewind.

He went for the attack again which seem to be faster that the other. The Hashira went to counter the attack, but his attack rewind again.

This was going until the Hashira was getting risky with his strikes.

Once he made a flaw, (B/n) took that flaw to his advantage.

He injured the Hashira.

This was a battle known to never last long. A novice slayer versus a Hashira, and the novice was actually putting pressure on the Hashira.

"Flame Breathing: Fifth Form, Flame Tiger!"

'A what?'

A series of flamed slashes took form of a flamed tiger that charged near (M/n)'s elder brother.

(M/n) ran infront of his brother and opened his mother's parasol. The parasol easily deflected the flame tiger.

"Brother, are you okay?" (M/n) asked, not breaking contact with the Hashira's unique eyes.

"I find it quite admirable that you're trying to save your brother."

"I hope this works." (M/n) go into a stance and breathe.

(M/n) used to use his mother's parasol wherever his training fans went missing.

"Maiden Breathing: Ninth Form, Acrobatic Slice!" (M/n) quickly unleashed a hidden blade and rush towards the Hashira.

Make it close, he front flipped over the Hashira's head. While in midair, (M/n) went for the Hashira's neck.

Unfortunately, the Hashira was able to block this attack.

While he was distracted with the (h/c) haired male, (B/n) ran up to the distracted Hashira.

"Clock Breathing: Sixth Form, Great Grandfather Clock!" (B/n) hit the Hashira in the head with the handle of his blade.

"(M/n), let's go!"

The big (e/c) eyed male ran to his brother.

"Clock Breathing: Seventh Form, Instant Chronicles, Dimensional Rift!"
