A New Flame (Sanemi x Deaf Reader)

Chapter 37

-(Y/n)’s POV-
‘Sanemi-san would literally kill me for not having my guard up…’ I thought as I slowed my breathing to seem like I passed out even though I could sense what was going on around me.

I felt someone pick me up and carry me around for a little bit before someone placed me down on a softened futon mat. ‘Where is Zenitsu?’ I thought as I peeked my eyes open to see that the person who brought me into the room was gone. I looked around the room and did not notice anything strange as it was just a normal room.

As I leaned forward to get up, I felt a sharp pain in my chest as it suddenly started hurting to breathe. 'Did I break a rib when she slung us through the walls?'

I then started thinking about all the little details in the room as I soon noticed that there was no way for any sunlight to pervade into the room. I then looked around the decorations around the room and started paying more attention to the pinkish sash longing the walls.

‘Wait, isn’t that the design the demon was wearing on her kimono?!?’ I thought as the sash suddenly unmantaled off the wall and attacked me, forgetting the pain in my chest. I pulled out the nichirin daggers hidden in my sleeves as easily slashed through the cloth like blades. As soon as I moved positions in the room the sash was two steps behind me as it relentlessly followed me around not giving me a chance to breathe.

I kept slashing the demon-like thing as it moved around with wormish movements. Slash marks soon filled the room as I exited the room going to the room next door seeing if Zenitsu was there. ‘Damn it! It already found Zenitsu.’ With that it made a direct attack toward my head.

I held one of my daggers deflecting the blow, having it scratch me in the side of the forehead having me bleed down my face. The blood started to get into my right eye and it got really annoying trying to wipe it everytime, so I just ended up just keeping my eye closed as I battled.

‘This is getting excessive.’ I thought to myself as I stepped on the left side of my kimono. ‘This stupid piece of fucking shit!’ I thought as I fell backwards as the cloth demon sent another straightforward attack toward my torso. ‘I hate kimonos!’ I thought as I silently cursed myself for deciding to wear such a tight kimono.

I cut the demon as I got back up, deciding I would be able to move better if I cut the side of the kimono, so I did. I used the dagger cutting the bottom left side of the kimono from the bottom to the middle of the kimono. I then ran down the hallway as it chased me.

It seemed to be in the middle of the night since no one was in the halls and I still couldn’t find Zenitsu in any of the rooms as I gave each of them a quick glance. I turned the corner seeing a middle aged man roaming the halls. ‘He's gonna get himself killed!’ I thought as I continued running down the hall and soon knocked out the man before he saw the demon that was chasing me.

I turned around to see that it wasn’t chasing me and ran to the main demon’s room as she was the one who sent me and Zenitsu flying. ‘Why didn’t she kill us when she had the chance.’ I arrived at her room and noticed that no one was there. There was no way for the sun to get into the room. Just like the two rooms that Zenitsu and I were put into.

I felt vibrations in the earth as there were multiple vibrations soon after. I left the building as I saw something get sent into a building past me. I saw a flash of pink as that was the basic color of what was sent flying.

‘Was that… Nezuko? I haven’t seen her before since she is always in her box.’ I shook my head as I looked around the area trying to find Uzui’s mice as they were the ones with my nichirin blade. ‘Where are those stupid mice..’ I groaned as I saw one of them and followed them.

Of course the one mouse I found was the one that didn’t have my katana, but I followed it until we found the other mouse which most likely had my katana. We soon found the other mouse with my katana and I thanked them for holding onto it for me and disappeared quickly as my kasugai crow Nora came flying down to me. I wrote down something quickly as Nora already has a tiny pencil and pouch for letters to be delivered. I wrote down to send reinforcements as I am absolutely positive that we are facing an uppermoon. I then left as Nora flew off to the direction of headquarters.

I jumped onto the nearest roof top and looked left and right until I saw a flare of light tinted pink. I jumped over the gaps between the roofs to the flash of light before it disappeared.

When I arrived at the scene, I saw Nezuko about to attack a human, but with reaction for her safety I got behind her and held the sheath of my katana in her mouth pulling her back before I saw Tanjiro in front of me.

-Tanjiro’s POV-
I had a flashback of my brother speaking to me and I could remember what he said to me like it was yesterday. “People who get angry for other people’s sake show a lack of concern for themselves and one day, because of this fact, she might lose something precious. That’s what scares me.”

Everything around me felt like nothing as it seemed like I was frozen in place. I felt someone shaking me as I listened to what they had to say. “Save her, Nii-chan! Nee-chan will lose herself!” I suddenly woke up on the roof and frantically looked for Nezuko hoping I wasn’t too late.

I arrived at the building that was caved in and I smelled that Nezuko and three others were in the building. I looked inside with my katana in hand as I saw Nezuko about to attack a poor woman with a cut on her arm. I was about to stop her before I saw someone beat me to it.

“(Y/N)-san!?!”
