An Unbreakable Bond (Demon Slayer Harem X Reader)

Chapter 13: The House With The Wisteria Crest

"I only hope now that whoever this was can now find some sort of peace....after everything he must've gone through in that house...." You we're knelt beside the grave of the man that had been thrown out of the house when you first arrived.

Tanjiro was beside you, his eyes closed as he sat there in prayer. "Yeah. Hopefully. There are still more people to bury though."

"Indeed." You simply replied as you felt a gentle weight added to your shoulder. Zenitsa had rested her chin on your shoulder as she stared at the grave.

Her arms slowly wrapped around you and you felt her warmth encompass you. Of course, you still felt kind of awkward and uncomfortable having only known her a few hours. But you were too exhausted and sore to try and get her off.

Plus her warmth actually felt slightly comforting.

"You can rest if you need Y/N. The rest of us can dig the other graves." Tanjiro was evidently concerned about you, but you shook your head.

"J-Just give me a moment. I'll be just fine. I can't let these injuries stop me. I'm meant to be a demon slayer. I'll probably be expected to fight with even worse injuries than this." You said giving yourself a few moments before you lifted yourself off the ground. "Come on then. That means you too boar."

Inosuke had stuck around as well. He was more occupied with running around and smashing his head into trees than anything else. But hearing you call to him made him stop.

"I'M NOT DOING THAT!!! WHAT'S EVEN THE POINT?!" He huffed and turned around.

"You know....I thought the exact same thing when my mother was killed. I....ran away before the funeral because....I-I just didn't see the point....sh-she was already dead and gone. B-But I've regretted it since then. We have to bury these people out of respect...." Your words didn't seem to do much to make Inosuke budge.

"I guess you must just be pretty tired. After all, who knows how long you were in that house. You must've been running around for ages trying to fight the demons! Not to mention, you had a fight with Y/N! Heck, you must be pretty injured too!"Tanjiro had an idea which seemed to work as you saw Inosuke twitch slightly before turning around.

"WHAT?! NO!!! I'M NOT TIRED AND I'M NOT INJURED EITHER!!! I'M GOING TO DO SO MUCH MORE WORK THAN ALL OF YOU!!! JUST WATCH!!! I'M GONNA BURY MORE PEOPLE THAN YOU!!!!" He huffed air out of his nose and started charging around.

"....I mean at least it got him to help." You shrugged before the rest of you got to work as well.

After a while, all of the people who lost their lives had been buried just as the sun was beginning to set below the horizon.

"Right....now we just have to get these kids back home." You turned to the three siblings, all of whom looked more relaxed and happy now that everything was over.

"Poor souls had to put up with so much when they are so young....I hope now they can go back now and live a normal and peaceful life." You thought to yourself.

"Come along then....it's getting dark...." The group of you set off from the house, down the path that you walked up earlier in the day and into the forest.

"HEY YOU!! FIGHT ME AGAIN!!!" Inosuke seemed to still have tons of energy and was running about, head butting trees and yelling at you to fight him again.

"Not now. And anyway, you can call me Y/N you know. I have a name Inosuke. How do you even spell that anyway?" You glanced at him after asking the questions to see him struggling.

"I...N...I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SPELL!!! I CAN'T EVEN READ OR WRITE OKAY?!!" He yelled frustrated as you shrugged.

"Alright, alright. No worries then. I can have a good guess as to how it's spelt anyways." You shrugged and continued walking.
