!TW! mentions of blood
"T-tanjiro! Help! I-It was a demon!" Y/n said, in tears, holding and caressing Nezuko's head as she saw Tanjiro running towards her. Y/n was wounded on her left leg, as blood was seeping out of it, creating a small pool of blood on the snow she was sitting on.
Tanjiro realized. The house.. their family.. all destroyed by a demon.
"Y/n! A-are you okay?! What happened?! W-Why is..." Tanjiro was in shock, unable to process what he was witnessing.
"Tanjiro! Please help me get Nezuko to the village! I can still feel her pulse!" Y/n exclaimed as Tanjiro scrambled to carry Nezuko on his back while Y/n got up. She ignored the pain from her leg, determined to save her little sister. They ran towards the village, and Nezuko was waking up.
Half-eye lidded on Tanijro's back, Nezuko woke. Neither of the siblings noticed, as the blizzard was hard to navigate through. Nezuko suddenly jumps off, snarling at Tanjiro and Y/n.
"N-Nezuko..?" Y/n mumbled, hesitating to approach her berserk sister. Nezuko suddenly pins Tanjiro down, as he tries to calm Nezuko down.
"Nezuko! Are you... able to walk on your own..?" Tanjiro asked cautiously.
She had turned into a demon. Y/n quickly grabbed Nezuko's arms and brought her to the ground, trying to restrain her. Y/n grabbed Tanjiro's hatchet, making Nezuko bite it to keep her from attacking. Nezuko grew in size, bigger than the two siblings.
"Tanjiro! Quick! Help me calm her down! Sh-She's... too... strong-" Y/n said, trying to avoid Nezuko's attempts to attack while keeping her on the snow.Tanjiro luckily thought of something quick.
"Please!! Nezuko!! Stop! Stay alive!! I promise I'll save you no matter what!!" Tanjiro cried, tears streaming down his face. He was holding Nezuko's face, forcing her to look at him.
Just then, a person sweeps down, wielding a sword. Y/n realizes the sword was going for Nezuko's neck, quickly grabbing Tanjiro by his haori and rolling away from the attack while restraining Nezuko. The slash barely misses Tanjiro's head, cutting his hair.
The person lands gracefully on the snow, looking back at them with confusion. He had black hair, wearing a haori split into two patterns. One side, green and yellow, while the other, plain red. He wore an expression of no emotion, his gaze fixed on the three siblings that were huddled together.
"Nezuko's returned back to normal size.." Tanjiro noticed, feeling a bit more assured. Y/n was staring at the person's sword in horror.
"I-It says... Destroy Demons... Nezuko, she can't possible be a demon," Y/n panicked, denying the truth she already knew. This person was going to kill Nezuko.
"Why are you protecting that demon?" he asked, his expression unchanged.
"This is our sister, Nezuko," Y/n answers firmly, holding Nezuko in a protective embrace.
The boy 'hmphed' slightly, lunging forward. He was strong, grabbing Nezuko from Y/n's arms, and hopped a few feet away from them.
"...I'm Tomioka. As a Hashira, my job is to kill demons, therefore, I must decapacitate this demon. I presume you understand my intent is just to fulfill my duty," he said.
"I sensed another demon's presence in my house, it couldn't've been Nezuko who had killed my family," Tanjiro said, attempting to help his sister get out of the situation.
"Besides, how would she even transform in the first place?" Y/n argued along, holding her injured leg.
"Her wounds were exposed to the demon's blood, so she transformed into a demon," he answered, gripping onto Nezuko.
"She doesn't eat humans!" Tanjiro added.
"What an excuse. Wasn't she just trying to devour you not long ago?" the Demon Slayer pointed out.
Y/n was speechless, as she was just balling her eyes out on her brother's shoulder, holding onto his arm.
"I-I promise I'll find a way to turn her back into a human! Then you don't need to kill her!" Tanjiro said loudly but quivering ever so slightly.
"Tch. Becoming a demon is irreversible," the boy replied, gripping his sword.
"Please! I'll find a way to turn her back into a human! I promise!" Tanjiro was desperate to save Nezuko.
The Hashira ignores Tanjiro's protest, raising his sword towards Nezuko's neck.
"Please! Don't take away another part of my family!" Tanjiro begs, kneeling down to the Demon Slayer. Y/n follows his brother, still in tears.
(a/n sorry guys u r js balling rn i promise u'll get epic moments soon)
The Demon Slayer's expression changes into an angered one, scolding Tanjiro.
"Don't cry. Don't despair. Now's not the time for that. I know you're devastated. Your family was massacred, and your sister became a demon. I know it's painful. I know you want to scream. I get it. If only I'd gotten here a half-day sooner, your family might not have ended up dead. But there's no way to turn back time. Feel the rage. The powerful pure rage of not being able to forgive will become your unswerving drive to take action!"
Tanjiro's eyes widen at the Hashira's words, and Y/n sniffles, calming down.
"Although the demons may know how to turn her back into a human, they are not willing to help. Don't get your hopes up," the Hashira said, "Your failures have led to Nezuko's capture in the first place. You could have eliminated her in one strike if you wanted to."
Tomioka stabs Nezuko in the shoulder. Y/n shoots up, her eyes filled with rage, boiling in her blood, as irk mark appears on her body. Her injured leg didn't even matter to her anymore.
"No one touches my little sister." she said almost in a whisper, her eyes wide open, fixed on the Hashira.
She's fast, Tomioka thought, gazing at her.
Instead of hitting Tomioka, she lands on a tree, launching a rock at his head. Tanjiro also hurls a stone at him. The Hashira dodges both of them, unharmed. Y/n jumps off, running low, towards the Demon Slayer. She is unsuccessful in tripping him, hurled towards the tree. However, before she hit the tree, she jumped high enough to land on a sturdy branch.
The Hashira was suddenly pulled towards the tree with her. He glanced down at his leg, which was tied with a rope. Unable to react in time, he was dangling into the air, to be only held by a rope. He'd let go of Nezuko, who was embraced by Tanjiro.
Tomioka wasn't troubled at all by such a small trick, as he simply cut off the rope and landed on his feet. Without hesitation, he lunged towards Nezuko again, successfully snatching her away from Tanjiro. Noticing Y/n losing consciousness from blood loss at her leg, Tanjiro catches her from falling from the tree, putting her down.
Then, Tanjiro grabbed another rock, and came charging at the Hashira from behind a tree. The Demon Slayer simply knocked him out, then noticing the hatchet coming at him. He moved his head dodging it, but was shocked.
These two... who are they? He thought. Dropping his guard, Nezuko leaps out of his grip, and protectively stands in front of the two unconscious siblings. The Hashira is fascinated by the demon's action. He spares Nezuko, knocking her unconscious as well.
Tomioka catches himself staring at the girl sitting unconscious by the tree for too long, looking away in embarrassment even though there weren't any people around.
