An Unbreakable Bond (Demon Slayer Harem X Reader)

Chapter 11: New Orders and A Needy Swordswoman

"W-what exactly are you doing there?" You noticed Tamayo holding a syringe in her hands, making her way over to what remained of Susamaru's mangled body.

"I am trying to find a way to turn demons back into humans. I have been doing so for a long time. Collecting a decent amount of demon blood from those directly connected to Kibutsuji should aid me in doing so." She looked up at you as you slowly limped over. "I told this to Tanjiro while you were asleep. I am hoping that it will help him turn his sister back."

You crouched down beside her as you watched her take a small amount of blood, before placing the now full syringe in a small wooden box.

"W-was she one of those demons?" You asked, Tamayo shaking her head in response.

"She is not. For a moment I thought she might be one of the twelve kizuki. They are the group of demons that are closely connected to Kibutsuji." She explained as she held out her hand for you to hold. "But her blood will still help I'm sure. Come now, you and Tanjiro could do with some rest."

You slowly took her hand, wary that Yushiro was nearby and could easily have taken advantage of your weakened state. But luckily, he did not and respected that Tamayo was helping you.

"Thanks by the way. I....easily would've been killed if you didn't intervene." You thanked him, much to his surprise.

"W-well...it isn't as if I was doing it to help you! She harmed the Lady Tamayo! I never forgive anyone who does that!" He huffed and crossed his arms. "But....you are welcome anyway. At least you showed your appreciation."

You smiled slowly and nodded. "Just giving credit where it is due."

Everyone made their way back inside, Tamayo asking Yushiro to help Tanjiro. Once inside, she let you rest and did tend to some of the damage that had been done.

"You mainly just need rest is all. There isn't much I can do about anything else." She sat beside your bed and smiled down at you.

You couldn't help but stare up at her. The warm smile on her face....the kind look in her eyes....

She reminded you so much of your mother.

You could feel her hand gently run through your hair, as you could hear Yushiro's teeth gritting from across the room.

"Th-thank you....Miss Tamayo...." You smiled and began feeling drowsy again, falling into a deep sleep soon after.

The next day, you were feeling a bit better. It was time for you, Tanjiro and Nezuko to leave, but not without saying goodbye to Tamayo and Yushiro.

"We will have to move away from here. Kibutsuji will be back if we don't." She sighed. "There is a favour we can do for you, if you want us too."

"What is it?" Tanjiro asked.

"We can take your sister with us. That way, you would not have to worry about her. She would be safe with us." She said, but you could tell that was not very popular with Yushiro who was shaking his head from behind her.

"....Tanjiro?" You said his name causing him to look at you. "I-I.....think we should still keep her with us. I know this would keep her safe but....we are family, no?"

"Yeah! You're right! I was just about to say the same thing! Sorry Miss Tamayo, but Y/N is right! The three of us are family! And we will stay together forever!" The boy wrapped an arm around you and his sister and brought you both in closer.

"I understand. I will respect your wishes then." She bowed her head slightly as you could see the wave of relief wash over Yushiro.

Nezuko quickly went up to them both and hugged Miss Tamayo. An action that surprised her and Yushiro.
