Demons Among Slayers? (Male Demon Reader x Kimetsu No Yaiba)

Pleasant Dreams

Y/N's Dream....

Y/N was once again an inhabitant of the Infinity Castle. This time, however, he wasn't being berated for another failure. No. He was being trained. He'd been effortlessly kicked around in the middle of the castle for who knows how long.

Y/N(15) "Stop! It hurts!"

Akaza: "You'll never be strong if all you do is cry. Hit back, dodge, even throw some dirt in my eye, don't just sit there and take it!"

Emphasizing his point, Akaza kicks Y/N across the floor once again, earning a small cry in response.

Akaza: *Sigh* "You're done for today, clearly you're not learning anything. We'll try again tomorrow."

Y/N hears the strum of a strange instrument, followed by a door opening and closing.

Y/N: (The more I stay in the castle, the more I hear that weird sound. What is it? Is the castle magical? Or am I hearing things..?)

Y/N stood up, looking around as the bruises and cuts from Akaza slowly heal themselves.

Y/N: "Hello? Anyone?"

Y/N waited a few seconds, before hearing another strum from the mysterious instrument.

Y/N: "If you're some...weird 10ft tentacle monster who likes playing music...just don't kill me first."

After a few more silent seconds, Y/N heard another strum.

Y/N: "Um...does that mean ok?"

Another strum followed, but it still left Y/N confused.

Y/N: "I can't really understand what you're trying to say....Oh! How about one for no, two for yes? That sound ok?"

After another pause, two strums followed.

Y/N: "Alright! Um.....are you a cool 10ft tentacle monster?"

After a short pause, and what Y/N swore was a small giggle, two strums again.

Y/N: "Really?! Can I see?!"

Almost immediately after Y/N, a single strum followed.

Y/N: "But why not!?"

Since it wasn't really a "Yes or No" kind of question, he received no answer.

Y/N: "Are you shy?"

One strum.

Y/N: "....were you lying about being a tentacle monster?"

Two strums.

Y/N: "....that sounds like something a tentacle monster would say."

This time, Y/N knew he heard a giggle from behind on of the doors. When he tried to open it, however, he heard another strum, and wound up in a completely different part of the castle.

Y/N: "That's not fair."
_______________________________________

Y/N had spent what felt like hours, listening, jumping through doors, running down hallways, all to find this mysterious "Tentacle Monster".

Y/N: "How does it know EVERY SINGLE TIME?!?"

Y/N began running down another hallway, following the strumming yet again.

Y/N: "MONSTER?"

Two strums rang out through the hall, coming from the door right in front of Y/N. Nowhere to go. He'd found it....or so he thought.

Y/N: "FOUND YOU-"

As he jumped through the door, Y/N's face collided with something. It was almost like a person. A tall person.
