Tanjiro Harem [SLOW UPDATES]

Chp. 19

The Water Pillar got up from the pond and wandered into the woods.

He wanted to find the 12 Kizuki's hideout. Even if it cost him his life.

He just wanted to see Tanjiro, Mitsuri and Nezuko again for the last time.

He had grown fond of Nezuko. Mitsuri was the only other person than Gyomei to talk to him so cheerfully. Tanjiro reminded him of Sabito.

He could not lose another person in his life. He cannot fail to protect another person.

He failed to protect his sister, Sabito, and now he lost three other people to the demons.

He wandered to the deepest part of the forest, hoping to find the 12 Kizuki. It has been at least... 3 hours while running?

He lost track of time.

Giyuu was also getting quite tired and hungry. He barely ate after all.

He sat down under a tree to rest. If he could not get advice on love, the least he could do is see Tanjiro, Nezuko and Mitsuri again.

He closed his eyes. Perhaps it was time for a nap..

"Tanjiro!"

Nezuko had ripped off her bamboo and dived after said boy, who was shocked to hear Nezuko speak in years.

"Nezu-ko.?"

Tanjiro blinked away tears and tried to stabilise himself, which ended in failure.

Nezuko landed on a platform and resorted to jumping from platform to platform.

She was determined. To save her brother who had been by her side since she turned into a demon.

She gritted her teeth and dug her feet into the platform, which broke in the process.

Her pupils changed and her nails became sharper.

Meanwhile, Tanjiro was too injured to do anything. He just had to fall through the gap where there was no platforms blocking.

Even though he was a demon himself, he was badly injured and overdosed.

He was still recovering and the impact from the fall will surely slow down his healing process. Which was not good as he already needed 4 months to heal.

With the fall, it will take at least 6 months.

By then, who knows what will happen?

He squinted to see a figure heading towards him at a high speed, but his vision was too blurry for him to make out who it was.

He felt arms wrap around his body and the next thing he knew, he was on a platform, safe and sound.

"Nezuko.!"
 
"Never try walking on your own while your recovering!"

Nezuko hugged him tight as she sobbed into his shirt.

Tanjiro felt guilty for making Nezuko cry so he hugged her back.

"I'm sorry Nezuko.. Shh.."

He tried comforting her by singing a melody their mother used to sing to them.

Nezuko sniffed and hugged him even more tightly.

"Nezuko- your goi-ng to k-ill me-!"

"Shut up!"
—————————————————————————-

Giyuu woke up, startled as a raindrop felt onto his nose.

He looked up to the sky and saw it was getting cloudy.

He could not tell whether it was dark or not.

He sighed and sat up.

His neck ached from the uncomfortable position he fell asleep in. His whole body was sore and he groaned.

His stomach growled. He needed to find food.

He cursed himself for wandering so deep into the forest with absolutely nothing, just his katana.

He blinked and squinted.

Was it just him or did he see a demon walk into a.. fortress?

'Could it be..?'

The Hashira got up and walk cautiously over. He could potentially lose his life.
