𝕭𝖔𝖓𝖉𝖘 [Tanjiro Kamado X Reader] (Kimetsu no Yaiba)

~chapter ninety-two~

3rd Person Pov:

In a panic, Tanjiro began to ran back towards his younger sister, wanting to shield her from the sun that was about to rise. He tripped a bit, almost falling over, causing Nezuko to reach out to him, running towards him, too.

"Nezuko, run! Go hide in the shade!" he ordered, suddenly hearing the screams of those villagers from before. "Run, run! He ain't dead! Even though his head got cut off!" yelled one of the two villagers, not hesitating to follow his own words.

Tanjiro looked over at the head he had previously cut off, his eyes widening. On the tongue of that Demon stood the word 'resentment'. He knew that the real body was supposed to have the word 'fear' written on its tongue.

He was about to run after the Demon once more, as Nezuko's right side suddenly got burned. She let out a scream of pain, immediately gaining his attention. "Nezuko!" he called out, attempting to cover her from the sun.

"Shrink! Make your body smaller! Shrink!" he ordered, but she couldn't do so. She was in too much pain. He was now contemplating on what to do. If he didn't go now, those two, innocent villagers would die, and the Demon would regain his strength.

But if he did go, then that would mean the death of his sister. The last living member of his beloved family. The panic he felt got worse by the second, and he genuinely couldn't decide on what to do. Kill the Demon, or safe his sister. Which would it be?

However, before he could make up his mind, Nezuko had decided for him. She threw him away from her, smiling at him through her pain, showing him that she was okay if she would die here in order for him to save those two.

With tears in his eyes, he landed, facing the Demon. Taking in a deep breath, he knew exactly where the real body of that Demon was hiding. Just as the Demon had reached the bystanders, Tanjiro had already caught up to him, slicing through his heart, and with that, through the neck of the real body.

The Demon's body began to disintegrate immediately, and Tanjiro fell to his knees, full on crying. Yeah, he managed to defeat the Demon, but he also had to sacrifice his sister for that. He hit his fist onto the ground, the tears continuing to fall from his eyes. It was then that he heard the unmistakable voice of Nezuko. "M-M-Morning."

-

With wide eyes, Genya shook the female Demon Slayer that was laying on the ground in front of him. "Hey, hey." he repeated, not liking this situation one bit. The water hashira, who no longer had to fight the other Demon because Tanjiro killed it, quickly joined their side.

He asked: "Did anything change?" Genya swallowed the lump in his throat as he quietly said: "Her heart... stopped beating." Those few, simple words caused Giyuu's eyes to widen.

"What?!" he asked, way louder than intended to. But he couldn't care less at the moment. He immediately checked for a pulse on the girl, but found nothing. "No, no, no, no. (Y/N), come on. You've managed to survive poison before." he said, his voice filled with pain and panic.

It was then that the person he was waiting for arrived. Kocho Shinobu. Without missing a single second, she knelt down next to the female Demon Slayer, saying: "I came as soon as I got your message. Which Demon poisoned her?"

"Her heart..." trailed Giyuu off, his chest feeling heavy. Shinobu immediately understood. She asked: "How long has it stopped?" "A minutes ago." noted Genya, to which Shinobu nodded, saying: "That's not too bad."

"What the hell?! She literally died, and you say it's 'not too bad'?!" asked Genya, glaring at the insect Hashira. Shinobu sighed, saying: "If her heart isn't beating, then the poison can't spread any further. And as long as we get rid of the poison within five minutes and get her heart beating again, then she won't suffer brain damages."

Suddenly getting an idea, Giyuu said: "The Demon girl." Confused, Shinobu looked at him, trying to figure out what he was saying. "She managed to 'burn' the poison that Uzui was poisoned with." he added, as to clarify.

"That's... Quick, get Kamado." she ordered, to which Genya complied. He stood up, running over to the edge, where he could see Tanjiro in the distance, hugging Nezuko as if his life depended on it.

Without wasting a second, Genya yelled: "Tanjiro, get your sister here! Quick! She's about to die!" Tanjiro looked over at him, pointing in his directions. And not a second later, Nezuko began running towards Genya, while Tanjiro collapsed from his injuries.

Arriving at the scene, Nezuko took one look at (Y/N) and knew what to do. She quickly sliced into her own hand with her nails, splattering a few drops of her blood onto the female Demon Slayer. Then, she made her blood burn, successfully getting rid of the poison. Now, it all relied on Shinobu.

Somewhere else:

"What's wrong, Toshikuni? You've made a huge mess." noted an elderly woman, stepping into a room that not a single spot of sunlight in it. She, together with the maid of that house, were looking over at a young boy, who stood between some scattered books.

But that boy was none other than Kibutsuji Muzan himself. "Someone who can withstand the sun has finally...! Amazing job, Hantengu!" he said to himself, his eyes wide. The elderly lady began talking again, but this time, her head seemingly exploded, much to the maids horror.

"What... happened to your head, madam?" she asked, hesitatingly moving back. Chuckling, another Demon placed his hand onto her head, saying: "Don't worry about her, she's just sleeping." Then, he tightened his grip, crushing the maid's skull with ease.

Turning around to face the other Demon, Muzan, who had transformed back into his usual self, said: "There's no need to search for the blue spider lily anymore! It's been so long...! But this, this is why, for a thousand years, why I've continued spreading my kind even though I didn't want to."

"Well, it's something not even me and the twelve Kazuki can do." noted the silver haired Demon, grinning at his boss. "If I eat that girl and absorb her, I can actually defeat the sun!" said Muzan, a wide, crazed smile on his face.

He calmed himself, looking at his long-time companion. "Enenra. How did your mission go? It was a success this time, or am I wrong?" "About that." started Enenra, stepping closer to his boss.

He bared his fangs, saying: "It's all your fault. I swear, if she doesn't survive, I'll be the one that kills you, not those wannabe-Demon Slayers." His voice was incredibly dark, and his threat was completely sincere.

Turning to face away from the silver haired Demon, Muzan said: "Since when did you start caring about human lives?" "Since she discovered her capabilities. She's gonna be incredibly strong one day, and you fear her. That's why you want me to kill her. But jokes on you, I'm not going to yet. If she survives this night, that is."

Thinking for a moment, Muzan said: "Actually, I agree." A bit taken back by his sudden words, Enenra asked: "You- You agree? With me? Has that ever happened before?" With a sinister grin, Muzan continued.

"Your next mission will be to turn that (L/N) girl into a Demon. They will give her that same ability to resist the sun, and then there will be two Demon's walking around with that ability." he explained briefly, content with his idea.

Enenra paused for a moment, then asked: "Are you for real? You mean I get to make my darling immortal? It's been centuries since I last turned a human into a Demon, but I'll gladly try again! This is amazing! It feels like it's my birthday!"

"Well, I am generous with you. Considering everything I owe to you." admitted Muzan, thinking back to the time they were still human. Chuckling, his companion said: "It seems it's my turn to agree with you."
