"I promise!" [Tanjiro Kamado x Demon Reader]

˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡˚Chapter 12- Huh..?

Arriving at the place it glowed like stars. But, god it was insanely bright. 

"The big cities have come a lot further than I expected." Tanjiro thought, his face showing nothing but pure shock, maybe a hint of nervousness. He looked pretty damn funny though.

(Y/N) laughed at the sight of Tanjiro. "It's night-time, but it's so bright out." Tanjiro pondered, as the lights shined directly into his eyes. 

(Y/N) looked around curiously, not moving from her spot, but just sitting there. "The buildings are so tall!" Tanjiro exclaimed. "What's the deal?!"

They walked along as Nezuko looked about ready to pass out. (Y/N) walking next to Tanjiro, looking at all the beautiful people. "Incredible and overwhelming.." He thought again. 

As Tanjiro was about to cross, the trolly horn beeped, causing him to step back. His mouth agape as it passes. He pulls his hood up.

"This is making me dizzy.." Tanjiro spoke, (Y/N) hugged his side gently. As they walked, turning into an ally way. Gasping at what they disrupted. 

"HAHA! TANJIROS FACE!" (Y/N) thought to herself, giggling as Tanjiro panicked. They ran out the ally way and down the street. 

Walking as the trolly passed, Tanjiro's grip tightened on the two girls hands. "Uh, Let's go this way!" he said, before walking into an alleyway. 

Lone behold.. two people making-out in front of the trio's eyes. (Y/N) covered Nezuko's eyes like a mother blocking her child from a movie scene. Tanjiro gasped and blushed wildly, bowing down.

"Ah! So sorry to bother you!" He cried out as the couple didn't even pay any attention to the three. Running out of the alleyway, they ran past shop's; Tanjiro sweating from nervousness. They've never been to a city this big.. who could blame them?

Pulling the girls along, they all finally came to a non-crowded place. The only thing there was a guy running a udon stand. 

As the trio wondered over, they caught sight of a bald man sitting on a chair and smoking. Tanjiro called out to the man, "Pardon me, sir?" 

(Y/N) yawned and leaned on Nezuko as they grew tired from walking. The man turned his attention over to Tanjiro with a hum. 

"Could I get a bowl of udon with grated yam?" Tanjiro asked nervously. His voice wavering, sweating like crazy. 

"Why, yes. Coming right up." The man said softly. Tanjiro let out a sigh as they walked over to the bench right beside to udon stand. 

The sounds of chopping and water boiling filled the air besides the breathing of the trio. "I've never been to a place like this before.." Tanjiro wailed out. 

"It's way to crowded." He said, tiredly. "You could say that again.." (Y/N) thought to herself. Leaning on Tanjiro's shoulder with closed eyes. 

Nezuko then leaned on (Y/N) which added more weight to Tanjiro, causing him to look over at the girls with a smile. 

"Here's your udon with yam." The shops-keeper called out, handing the udon to Tanjiro. "Let me know how you like it." He added as Tanjiro turned his head. 

"Oh, thank you very much." Tanjiro said kindly. Tanjiro looked at the food for a moment, before sipping the broth. Pulling the bowl away with a sigh, something filled his nose. 

It wasn't the smell of the udon, instead it was the smell of a.. demon. (Y/N) stirred but was still asleep on Nezuko.

Tanjiro dropped the bowl and stood up, the glass shattering. Tanjiro sniffed the air once more, fear and anger plastered all over his face. 

He grabbed his sword and ran, ran towards the smell with all his might. "That scent! Why is it here, and why now?!" Tanjiro asked himself, running. Running into the crowd of people, Tanjiro looked both ways and ran towards the scent. 

Nothing driving him but determination and fear, "It's the same scent I found at my house!" Tanjiro cried out in his head, shoving people out of his way. 

The people cried out and gasped at the fact they were being shoved, but that didn't stop Tanjiro. Nothing would, not until he found where that scent was coming from. 

"Muzan Kibutsuji." Tanjiro told himself in his head, angerly. The scent guiding him right towards someone. 

"It must be him! He's here!" Tanjiro cried out to himself, shoving past more and more people until he stood in the way of the demon that killed his family. 

Grabbing the shoulder of a man with a white hat, Tanjiro was gasping for air. The man stopped and turned his head to look at Tanjiro. His eyes red and slitted, clearly meaning it was HIM. 

Muzan stared at Tanjiro, his face showing nothing but confusion, maybe a little anger too. He let out a hum as he looked at Tanjiro still, his teeth slightly gritted. 

All Tanjiro was seeing was red, nothing but red as he stared at the man who ruined his life. Tanjiro's teeth gritted as he gripped his sword with all his might. "I found him." Tanjiro said to himself. 

As Tanjiro went to unsheathe his sword, a little girls voice interrupted. "Daddy?" She called curiously. "Who's that?"

Meanwhile.

(Y/N) stirred in her sleep, the feeling of Tanjiro missing from her grasp. Her grip tightening on Nezuko as she held her sister-in-law tightly. 

It's like (Y/N) could smell the fear from Tanjiro. Or maybe.. she smelled the demon. But either way, (Y/N) shot up quickly, hearing the cries of a woman. 

She let out a deep growl as she grabbed Nezuko and woke her up, running to the scene in attempt to find Tanjiro among the crowd. 

(Y/N) heard Tanjiros yells caught (Y/N)'s ears.  But flowers clouded her vision, confusion filled her eyes. 

But, all in all Tanjiro came back to sight as (Y/N) ran to him, hugging him tightly. Tanjiro stifled a loving laugh and kissed (Y/N)'s forehead, patting her head too. 

Then came an angry udon server.. 

"Now, you listen to me, alright?!" The man yelled, "It has nothing to do with money! That's not the problem here! I just can't forgive the fact that you would walk away from a perfectly good bowl of udon!" He yelled, looking at Tanjiro angerly. 

Nezuko and (Y/N) just sat together, staring at the interaction. "I'm so sorry! Can I please have another one?" Tanjiro cried out. 

"To eat?" The man replied, his tone less loud. But still loud, "Yes!" Tanjiro said. "You promise?" The guy asked, leaning in close to Tanjiros face. Showing he wasn't messing around anymore. 

"I promise!" Tanjiro said, his stance tensing up into a more straighter one. "Alright.. What about you two! If you're going to eat udon you better take off that bamboo thingies!" He yelled towards Nezuko and (Y/N). Tanjiro following his finger as he pointed at the two girls. 

"What the heck is it, anyway? Now take these chopsticks, alright?!" The man yelled, but Tanjiro grabbed his hand and looked into his face. 

"I'd like a bowl of udon! In fact, give me two of 'em!" Tanjiro ordered, holding up two fingers. "Uh.. okay." The man said, backing away slightly. 

(Y/N) giggled along with Nezuko, holding Nezuko's hand as they watched Tanjiro and the man fight over bowls of udon.
