An Unbreakable Bond (Demon Slayer Harem X Reader)

Chapter 30: The Mugen Train

"This should do!!" You smiled gleefully as you held out a large sunhat towards Aria. She was already wearing a large kimono that covered all her skin.

"Yeah that might just do it my dear! Let me try it on!" She smiled too and took the sunhat from you. Placing it on her head, her smile widened as she wrapped her arms around your neck.

"Thank you for going through all this trouble for me, my sweet." She gave you a quick peck on the cheek.

"H-Heh....you're welcome!" You pecked her back and watched as her cheeks turned a little red. "Anyway, let's get moving. I'm sure everyone else is waiting for us."

You panned your head to the basket to find Mukago sat happily inside it already in her small form. Crouching down, you pat her on the head and prepare to put the lid on it.

"When it's dark, you'll be able to come out. We will have to cover your horns though. But we can worry about that later." You said to her getting a nod in response.

That was all you needed, so you put the lid on the basket and made sure that it was sealed properly so no sunlight got in.

"I've really gotta get a proper box like Tanjiro has for Nezuko. Someone can surely make one for me if I ask them." You thought out loud as you lifted the basket up and put it on your back.

It had straps on it that allowed you to carry it that way, which made things a whole lot easier.

Taking Aria's hand, you walked out of the sunblocked room and started making your way outside.

Along the way you saw Tanjiro up ahead just exiting the medbay where you had all been staying. His new sword tucked under his belt stood out to you as you began to remember the day he got it back.

~~FLASHBACK~~

Tanjiro seemed to be excited all of a sudden. In fact, so did Inosuke. You could hear them both cheering and running as fast as they could.

You were outside practicing your techniques when they came running out towards the front gate. Curious, you paused your training to see what was going on.

"What's gotten you two so excited?" You asked standing next to Tanjiro.

"Our new swords are here! I can see Haganezuka now!! Hey, Mister Haganezuka!!!" The boy waved and cheered loudly like he always did, bringing a smile to your face.

However that smile quickly disappeared as you noticed the swordsmith hand over the package he was carrying to a second person that was with him.

"Uhm....what's he doing?" Your concern began to grow as he seemed to be approaching a lot faster.

Then you realised he was running towards Tanjiro with a large knife in his hands. He was gripping it so tightly that the veins were popping out of his hands.

In an instant you grabbed Tanjiro's shoulders and pulled him out of the way just as Haganezuka went to stab him with the knife.

"H-Haganezuka...?!" A clearly shaken Tanjiro stuttered.

"How dare you break my precious sword in two!!!YOU GOTTA LOT OF NERVE BOY!!!!" He raged.

"I-I was fighting a really strong demon!! It's not my-." Poor Tanjiro tried to defend himself, but was unable to keep the enraged swordsmith at bay.

"Excuses! Excuses! Excuses!!! The sword wouldn't have broke if you weren't so pathetically weak!!!!" He screeched while harshly poking Tanjiro's cheek.

"This guy is absolutely crazy!" You thought to yourself as you pushed him away from Tanjiro, only for him to swing the knife at you making you dodge out of the way.
