Many, many years ago in the Heian period:
3rd Person Pov:
"Sir, please calm down. I-" tried a raven haired male, his green eyes filled with worry. The man he had addressed, Muzan, cut him off by throwing a pillow at him, saying: "You don't understand! I'm supposed to die before I turn twenty!"
Rolling his eyes, the other man said: "Don't get me wrong, sir. I know all of that. I know how much you've suffered, but to threaten the life of the doctor that wants to save you? Feels like a bit much to me."
"You know nothing! Enenra, you're nothing but a lowly being. You can't even serve me right." said Muzan, glaring at his 'friend'. The green eyed male let out a heavy sigh, muttering: "This is why I don't like you."
Surprised and taken back by that sudden statement, Muzan asked: "...What?" Enenra lightly shook his head, standing up. He said: "Oh, you heard me just fine. Whatever. I'll go get you some water. It's still my job to look after you, after all."
With that, Enenra left the room, just in time for the doctor to arrive. Muzan was already angered, and he was ready to strike at any given time. The doctor had brought in more medicine, and gave it to Muzan.
Seeing that nothing had changed immediately, the angered man took the knife he had hidden in his hands, stabbing the doctor in his head while he wasn't looking. Then, as he sat back down, he realized something.
The aching in his body was gone. The pain, everything was gone. He realized that the doctor's medicine was actually working. He now had a strong body, one that felt like it made him invincible.
"Oh shit." he heard from the door, his head snapping around to look at Enenra. Mentioned male had a rather calm expression on his face as he sighed, placing the bucket of water down by the door. "Do I really have to clean this up now?" he asked, not liking the extra work.
Getting a sudden urge, Muzan jumped up and onto his 'friend', his new fangs bared and ready to kill. He fought the urge at first, not wanting to injure this individual. "I'm... sorry." he said, sitting back up, backing away from Enenra.
The raven haired male grinned a bit, saying: "What? What was that? Sir, are you feeling better?" "Better than never before. But... I need blood. Human flesh. I... I need it." replied Muzan, not daring to look at his loyal companion.
"Oh, if it's only that..." trailed Enenra off, slipping his clothing off his shoulder. "Go ahead. Have a bite." he encouraged, only to get a weird look from Muzan. He chuckled, saying: "Hurry up before I change my mind."
Muzan nodded, then began to bite into the flesh of his very best friend. He ate and ate, stopped only once the bone was free, and continued. All that time, Enenra had a calm expression, not wanting to altert anyone nearby. Because if that happened, his master would be in trouble.
Muzan stopped suddenly, backing away from the human. Enenra looked at him with half lidded eyes, saying: "Th-That was it...? Didn't... Didn't hurt at all..." He was obviously lying. His whole shoulder was nothing more than bones.
He was sure that he was going to die then and there. That was until Muzan had an idea. He injured his own hand, then held it above his friend, letting his blood drip down onto him. Enenra closed his green eyes, having to endure pain that he never felt once before. And as he opened his eyes again, they were no longer the color as before. They were now a deep red.
Present:
(Y/N) Pov:
I stared at Onii-chan for a moment, then asked: "Wait, what did you say happened?" He tapped my forehead, saying: "You should listen when somebody tells you something." "Well, what happened? I remember fighting... Enenra was his name. Then, there was poison, and... Yeah, that's pretty much all I can remember."
Letting out a sigh, Onii-chan said: "I'm so glad your memory is okay." "Why shouldn't it be?" I asked, chuckling a little. However, my voice quickly died down as I saw the seriousness on his face.
"You died, (Y/N)." he told me, causing me to choke on literal air. After coughing a bit, I asked: "Wh-What?! I died? But... What?" "You were dead for about three minutes. The poison was way stronger than the other ones you were infected with. It killed you." he explained, to which I nodded, indicating that I was following.
"The Demon girl burned the poison out of your body, and luckily, Kocho arrived just in time. She managed to revive you." he finished, suddenly trapping me in a tight hug. I was completely caught off guard, but returned the hug. In a low voice, I said: "I see. I'm sorry for causing you trouble, Onii-chan." "Please... Don't ever do anything like that ever again." he requested, to which I replied: "I'll try my best."
We heard a knock on the door, followed by the door being opened. There stood Tanjiro, a wide smile on his face as he saw me. "(Y/N)! You're awake! How are you feeling?" he asked, walking up to me, being followed by Nezuko, who, surprisingly, didn't wear the nuzzle.
It took me a second to realize it, but as I did, I said: "Quick! Close the curtains! The sunlight!" Tanjiro chuckled at my panic, saying: "Thank you for worrying about Nezuko, but she can withstand the sun now."
"She can? That's amazing! Hey, Nezuko, come here, please." I said, watching as she happily walked up to me. I engulfed her in a big hug, saying: "I'm so glad that you're able to live in the sun again. I'm so glad..."
"G-Get well soon... (Y-(Y/N)." she said, her voice soft. My eyes widened as I looked at her, a big smile on my face. "Thank you, Nezuko." "My turn?" muttered Tanjiro, standing next to Nezuko. I chuckled, opening my arms for him, saying: "Of course! Come here!"
We both laughed as he hugged me, the both of us just enjoying each other's warmth. It feels like forever since we last had moments like these. "You really scared me there. I don't know what I would do without you, my love." he admitted, causing my face to flush red.
I said: "I'm sorry. I knew I shouldn't fight him, but I did it anyways. I'll be more careful next time. I promise." I then placed a quick kiss on his cheek, saying: "Alright. I'm hungry now. What's for breakfast?" "Wait." called Onii-chan, gaining our attention. "What kind of relationship do you two have?"
