The Unknown Hashira (Demon Slayer x Reader)

[19: Aftermaths and Potions]

ʚɞ ʚɞ Y/n's POV ʚɞ ʚɞ

It's been a couple of days since I let Tanjiro and the others accompany Tengen, and ever since then, I've been over the edge. I just remembered after the boys left that an Upper moon resides there and I forgot to tell them, and that's why I've been on edge knowing that those Upper moons are tricky. 

I started packing up some potions for the boys and extras for Tengen and his wives, also picked some other foods that maybe could help the others. And I decided to go down the mountains to go towards Master, wanting his permission if I could help them. 

I run as fast as I can even forgetting to greet my kakushis, just thinking about Tanjiro and the others, so worried about them. After a couple of hours, I was able to get to Master's house, regretting how far my mansion is. 

When I got there, I saw his wife, Amane-sama. She saw me approach her and her eyes softened, and I realized something. "Amane-sama..." 

"Kagaya is getting worse... his curse is past his lips now, Y/n." My face dropped, going into his room to see him sleeping, his face is almost covered by the curse. "Do you need something, Y/n?" Amane-sama asked. 

"First of, here. These are potions that could help his curse grow slower, it wouldn't heal his curse technically, but it will make it slower." I said and Amane-sama gave her thanks. "No worries. Also, Tengen is with my children, they're in the Entertainment District and there are two Upper moons there! I want to help them!" 

"The Serpent Hashira is already going there, but if you want to help as well, go ahead. It will take you time though since the Entertainment District is far from here." I bowed at Amane-sama, and I was gonna leave but her hand stopped me. "Thank you... Y/n. Go and help your children." I nodded and smiled, leaving as soon as I can.

"It took me a while to get here," I said as I looked around, seeing so much destruction. "Did the battle finish? Am I late?" I murmured, immediately transforming into a bird to look for Tanjiro and the others. 

While looking around I saw Uzui and his wives, I was going to land but remembered. "I forgot my mask! Damn it!" I immediately moved away and kept on looking for Tanjiro. "He'll be fine, he's a shinobi before," I murmured, smelling the air for my children. 

"I gotta do something now or Inosuke will die! How did I get saved? Why was I the only...!!" 

Those thoughts are from Tanjiro! I looked down and saw him, holding Inosuke, I immediately flew down and transformed in front of him. I saw him look up at me and immediately whine when I flick his forehead. 

"Don't you ever say that! Those thoughts shouldn't cross your mind when your comrade is dying!!" I shouted at him, making him shocked. I looked at Nezuko and patted her head. "Nezuko, darling. I think it's your time to shine." 

The girl immediately used her blood demon art to burn the poison out of their bodies, the skin that is poisoned slowly getting healed, and after a couple of seconds. "I'M HUNGRY!! GIVE ME SOMETHING TO EAT!!" 

I dug through my bag and some takoyaki that I packed and gave it to Inosuke, feeding him. Well, as much as I can since he's still getting hugged by Tanjiro and Nezuko. I looked around and looked for Zenitsu, seeing him under some rubles. I run towards him and took some painkillers out of my bag. 

"Y/N-SAN!! HELP ME!!" I chuckled and slowly lifted the wood out of his legs, slowly helping him get away from it. I kneeled beside him and cradled his head, giving him the painkillers. "Y/N-SAN!! THIS TASTE BITTER!!"

"I know but you gotta drink it so your body would survive before we get to the butterfly mansion, okay?" He nodded and I smiled, slowly making him drink. Then I heard someone crying from far away. "I think that is the wife of that Sound Hashira," Zenitsu said and I nodded. 

"Tanjiro, darling! Where are you?" I heard Tanjiro shout and saw him still with Inosuke. "Have you finished feeding Inosuke? If you have can you go towards where Tengen is? He needs your help, specially Nezuko's help!" 

I gave Tanjiro some medicine that could help Tengen and his wives and let him know where they are, while I take care of Zenitsu. 

ʚɞ ʚɞ Third person's POV ʚɞ ʚɞ

Y/n realized that Tanjiro has been gone for a while making them look for him. They slowly put Zenitsu and Inosuke together in a futon, transforming a plank of wood to be a futon. They started sniffing the air and smelled a familiar scent, their brother's blood. 

"Hmm, I guess those are the Upper moon, better check if they're still alive," They said as they followed the scent, soon seeing two decapitated heads bicker towards each other. "Well, I guess they are dead, just slowly crumbling away." 

The hashira was gonna leave but they saw Tanjiro cover Gyutaro's mouth, making them shocked. "Tanjiro!" He looked up and saw the hashira, the demons looking up as well. "What are you doing? Let them hurt each other's feelings." Y/n said making Tanjiro gasp. 

"Y/n-sa-" He was cut off by a scream, they looked at Daki and saw her staring up at the hashira. 

"YOU!! You told them that we're here, didn't you? It's because of you that we're dead!!" Daki said making Y/n annoyed. "This sucks! This sucks so much, you're so annoying!! You should've been killed by him! How were you not dead? And why are you still connected to him?! You should've died!!"

If Tanjiro wasn't mad before, now he's mad, how could she say that to Y/n? The Y/n that he's been training under for so long, the Y/n that is so nice to them, even helping them when they're on the brink of death! "Y/n-san, please don't listen to her!" He said, trying to comfort the hashira, but he stopped when he saw the hashira laugh. 

"Oh shut up, will you?!" The hashira shouted at Daki, making all of her shocked. "You're telling me that I'm the one who's at fault here because YOU got killed by 15-year-olds?! HUH?!" They shouted at Daki, making her tear up more. 

"Why don't you blame yourself for losing? You probably underestimated these guys just because you've killed 7 hashiras, oh for fucks sake, your brother killed 13!! Do better you little shit!" Y/n said as they laughed at Daki's face, Tanjiro was shocked at this attitude of Y/n. "Also, you're saying that I should've been killed by Muzan. Bitch, that idiot is weaker than me! Why don't you ask your stupid master for our history? Ask him who was the miracle child when we were young! The next Upper moon meeting asks him." Y/n said and then they smirked. 

"Oh, wait! You won't be in the next Upper moon meeting, because you'll be dead!! I just realized that they will have a meeting because YOU died! Oh, how pathetic!" Y/n said as they saw Daki scream and ask for Gyutaro's help. Y/n realized that Gyutaro just uttered Daki's real name and he remembered their past, Y/n's face got serious when Gyutaro crumbled away. "Come on, Tanjiro, you need to rest up." 

"I wonder if they made it up there..." Tanjiro slowly muttered, making Y/n chuckle. "Y/n-san, why did you say all of those things? You could've just let them die peacefully." Tanjiro said as he was assisted by Nezuko. 

"They're demons, Tanjiro. They should be dead in a merciless way, you can't be nice to all of them." Tanjiro looked up at Y/n and saw such an intimidating stare from them. "Even if you can smell their emotions and pain, they killed people, ate them, even if those people screamed in agony. Those two are just the same, even if they were mistreated before they took the wrong path... Well, I guess because someone made them take the wrong path." Y/n said, Tanjiro just looked down and sighed. 

"Also, always remember that I'm a demon, Tanjiro. I'm not like you that is nice... I'm not nice, Tanjiro. I'm cruel."

Y/n seems to be pissed that their children were hurt, that's why they said those things!
