"How dare you hurt my sister!!" He screams angrily. He lunges forward, swinging his sword. But the moment his sword makes contact with the web, it snapped in half. My eyes widened in shock at the sight. Just what is that thing made off?!

-The Value of Family-

Y/N P.O.V

The demon moves his hand, sending a bunch of webs at us. My eyes widened, there's too many of them. We won't be able to avoid them. The box on Onii-Chan's back burst open as Nee-San jumps out. She steps in front of us and take the full hit.

"Nee-San!!" I yelled out in horror as she let out a muffled scream of pain. She falls forward. I quickly grab her as me and Onii-Chan run to a more secluded area. I hold her in my arms. "Née-San... you protected us. I'm so sorry" I cried out. I turn my head to look at her wrist. It nearly fall off.

I've used up a lot of energy when I try to heal Onii-Chan. If I try to use it again, I might get weaker. I shake my head. I need to heal her. I focus on her body, as I feel my eyes turning color.

Née-San's body get engulf in blue light

Née-San's body get engulf in blue light. I feel my sight getting blurry from exhaustion. But I force myself to keep going to heal her.

Nee-San seem to notice my exhaustion. She places a hand on my head, breaking my concentration. I stare at her as she caress my head.

That's enough, Y/N... I don't want you to hurt yourself. I'm fine she said. My eyes soften as I stare at her. She closes her eyes, giving me a smile. Thank you... we need to focus on defeating this demon now she said. I just nod my head at what she said.

"You two..." I hear the demon said. I lift my head and turn my head slightly, trying to listen to what he have to say. "Let's talk. Come on out..." he said. I turn my head to look at Onii-Chan.

He gives me a look as if telling me to stay hidden. He stands up and walks out to face the demon. I was about to go to him, but my weak body prevent me from moving. Née-San quickly catches me before I fall on the ground.

"The thing is, I was really moved" the demon started. I furrowed my eyebrow at what he said. "Seeing the bond you three share gave me chills. I doubt there are any words in this universe that can describe how moved I was. But now the only thing left for you is death by my hand. It would be sad if it were to come to pass, right? But there's just one thing. Just one thing that will let you escape that. Your sisters... Give your sisters to me. If you hand them over without a fight, I'll at least spare your life" he said. I turn my head to look at Nee-San at what the demon just said.

"I have no idea what you're talking about!" Onii-Chan said. From his voice, it's clear how angry he is. I peek from behind the tree. Onii-Chan is still holding his broken sword.

"Your little sisters will be my little sisters. Starting today" he said. I clench my hands into tight fists as I feel my strength coming back. Onii-Chan's shoulders are shaking, no doubt he's angry about what the demon just said.

"You didn't actually think I'd ever agree to that. Not to mention, they are not a thing! They have their own feelings and will! There's no way they'll ever be your sisters!" He yelled.

"It's all right. No need to worry. Because I'll create a bond between us. I'm stronger than you. I'm talking about the bond of terror. I'll teach her what will happen if she defies me" the demon said.

"I've had enough of this crazy talk!" I yelled out. I stand up and walks towards them. Onii-Chan turn to look at me. He seem to be scolding me with his eyes. He's not happy that I stepped out of my hiding spot.

Both of their eyes turn to look at me. I clenched both of my hands into tight fists, my knuckles turning white at how hard I'm clenching them. I glare at the demon in front of me.

The demon looks unhappy at my interruption of his talk with Onii-Chan. But I'm not scared of him. He can kill me if he wants to. "Using terror to shackle someone hand and foot is not the bond of a family! Unless you fix that basic misunderstanding, you'll never get what you desire!" I yelled at him. He stares at me for a while. I notice his eyes widening a little as if he just remembered something.

"You... you're the one the Lord is taking about, right? I will keep your twin as my sister and hand you over to him" he said. I let out a shaky breath at what he said as I stare at him with my eyes wide open. Kibutsuji must've informed all the demons that works under him about me. No doubt all of them would be after me. 

Onii-Chan steps up to stand in front of me. "That jerk can keep on dreaming! I will never let you harm my sisters! Over my dead body!! I'll never hand them over to you!"He yelled.

"That's fine... I'll kill you and take both of them" he said. His voice is void of emotions as he stares at him with a cold gaze as if challenging him.

"I'll cut your head off first!" Onii-Chan exclaimed, while still stands in front of me. I notice a malice smirk forming on the demon's face. He acted as if Onii-Chan have said something funny.

"That's the spirit! I'd like to see you try it" he said. He lift his hand, removing the hairs that are covering his eye. My eyes widened as I see what's in his eyes. "That is, if you can actually defeat a member of the Twelve Kizuki like me!" He said.

"Family. A father has his role as the father, and the mother has her role as the mother. The parents protect the children, and the elder brother and sister protect their younger siblings. No matter what. At the risk of their own lives. The way I see it, if you don't understand your own role, there's no reason for you to live" he said. Onii-Chan grit his teeth at what he said. The demon just stares coldly at him.

"What about you? What is your role? Your role is to relinquish your younger sisters to me and disappear. If you can't do that, your only option is to die. Because you can't defeat me" he said. I shake my head, trying to shake the fear in me.

"Don't think so highly of yourself! No matter what... the good will always overpower the bad! You will perish! I will make sure of it, even if it's the last thing I do!" I yelled at him.

I take out the last UV flash-bomb from my pouch and throws it at him. "Cover your eyes, Onii-Chan! Find cover, Nee-San!" I warned. I turn to look at Nezuko-Nee as I said the last sentence. Onii-Chan quickly do as I told as I do the same. I hear a pained scream from the demon.

He clicks his tongue. Burn wounds is spread all over his body. "I don't understand what he sees in you. No matter, I will kill you instead!" He yelled. I clench my hands on my sword hilt.

The demon flicks his hand. My eyes widened as Nee-San is pulled out of her hiding spot. "All right, I've taken her now. Now do you recognize what your own role is?" He said. Née-San let out a pained cry, making my eyes widen in horror.

"Let her go!!" I screamed. Onii-Chan quickly charges at the demon. Née-San scratches his face, which makes him grow irritated. My eyes widened as the web around her body tightens. Blood starts seeping out of her wounds, making her let out a pained cry. My eyes widened as I stare at my sister.

"Stop it!! If you don't know the value of family! YOU shouldn't even dream of having one, because you will never have it, you monster!!!" I screamed angrily. His eyes widened at what I said.

His shock turns to anger as he glares at me. But I don't feel any fear this time. The only thing on my mind is to save Nee-San from his evil grasp. I'll save you, Nee-San... no matter what it takes.
