Shizen no Kokyou. (Shinobu x Male Reader) [COMPLETED]

Chapter 39

Akaza's head had been separated from his body, as Akaza starts to think to himself.

Akaza: In the last few hundred years I've lived... I've never come across a single human who has not fighting spirit. Even a baby has a faint fighting spirit. But this guy... his fighting spirit disappeared into thin air...! Though his breathing style doesn't focus on strength... he... he came at me head on and destroyed hundreds of years of martial arts...!

He remembers Y/N's face when he charged at Akaza not too long ago.

Akaza: His eyes... they didn't show any hatred or anger. No malevolence or fighting spirit. Perhaps... what his eyes perceived was... The domain of supremacy I've been seeking... nothing less than a selfless state... I vaguely remembered such a thing existed, but even now, I haven't reached it!

He grabs his footbal- I mean, his head, and desperately starts to try and have his head join his body again.

Akaza: No! I have to get stronger! I need to get stronger than anyone else!

Y/N notices this as he quickly grabs his sword and throws it at Akaza, making his head fall out of his hands.

Y/N gets on one knee and pants heavily. This fight had taken all out of him, he was a couple of punches away from passing out.

Y/N: I can... barely move... but... it's fine now... Akaza has been... decapitated... I... I did it, Kyou-nii... I... I killed... Aka-

His eyes land on the demon's body, which was still standing.

Y/N: Wh... what...? No... no way...

A flash of Muzan regenerating himself even after he was decapitated by gyomei runs in his mind.

Y/N: No...! Please...! Stand... down, Akaza...! Don't... move... I can't... I can't keep... hurting you over and over... please...! I hate this feeling...! The feeling I get... when I swing my sword against live flesh... I... I hate it...! I've already hurt you a lot...! So please...! Stand down...!!!

Akaza, now headless slams his foot on the ground.

Y/N: Selfless state! Come on! Do it!

Y/N stood still.

Y/N: Come on...! Use Total Concentration...! Anything...! I can't...! I can't die he-

His thoughts are cut as Akaza kicks Y/N in the ribs, making the boy cough blood up as Y/N is slammed into a wall, creating a crater at the place of impact. Y/N definitely heard a crack this time.

A flash of Shinobu comes into his mind.

Y/N: Shinobu... I'm sorry...  I couldn't even get to you... Kyou-nii... I...

Y/N's eyes close as Akaza readies another attack, but he feels his hand being grabbed by someone.

Akaza turns his regenerating head around, as he sees that a girl was holding his hand with tears in her eyes.

Girl: Stop it now, Hakuji...! Please!

Akaza: Who are you? Let go of me.

Back with Y/N, he opens his eyes as he sees B/N, M/N, F/N, and Rengoku standing at a distance from him.

The only thing separating him from them, was a weak and frail bridge.

Y/N's face had been somehow cleaned of all the blood that he had got in the battle against Akaza.

M/N: Y/N, my boy...

Rengoku: Your family is really beautiful, Y/N! After spending time with them, I came to know, that though he won't admit, B/N still cares about you.
