You watch with interest as the fight you discovered continues on.
Just seconds ago you approached the scene, finding a house to be completely demolished as a female demon throws temari balls at it. Right as you arrived a ball was heading straight for Tamayo- a friend from many years ago. Surprisingly, the young demon girl that the daifuku boy was dragging around intercepted it, losing her leg in the process. Despite being a demon, her regenerative ability was slow resulting in Tamayo injecting her with some drug. After that the girl was back up and fighting, kicking a ball back and forth with her enemy.
Instead of interjecting, you lean against the wall across the street, simply watching it all play out as you eat some of your daifuku. Despite seeming weak, the girl is doing wonderfully at holding her own against the much stronger demon. It's obvious that pure determination and the will to protect the others is what's giving her the strength needed to continue fighting. It's a valuable learning experience so why intervene?
The daifuku boy is also fighting though he's taken quite a bit of damage. It's obvious he doesn't have much experience as his breaths are labored, him struggling to even hold up his sword. However he keeps going, also powered by the will to protect. They're an interesting pair, him and the demon girl, and you want to know more about them. Perhaps you can help them much like you've helped others.
Smirking slightly, you watch as Tamayo discreetly uses her art against the temari demon. She relentlessly taunts her about the king of demons until the girl finally makes the mistake of activating his curse. It's almost pitiful watching her cry and beg before she's torn apart by the very man who she dedicated her life to.
Now that the fight is officially over, daifuku boy having won against the male demon, you decide to make your presence known. Stepping forward, you call out to your old friend. "I'm impressed, Tamayo! That truly was ruthless of you."
It's unsurprising when the group looks at you in shock, having not sensed you before you spoke. Tamayo seems to be the most surprised when her eyes widen considerably. It's been a long time since you've seen each other, after all.
"(Y/N)?" Her voice comes out in a shaky whisper. She's quite the refined woman, always holding herself with poise and class. You're the only person in the world that can truly make her relax without caring of what others may think. You spent quite a few months with her which is pretty long for demons to be together. You two grew quite close in that time until you took your leave.
"Yo." You hold up a peace sign which baffles the three others. You've always had a strange way of speaking and acting, being unlike anyone else.
"You know this woman, Lady Tamayo?" The male demon questions as he sends you a glare. It appears he does that a lot.
Tamayo nods, a soft smile gracing her beautiful features. "(Y/N) here was the one who helped me break free from Kibutsuji. I owe my life to her."
"I'd prefer daifuku." You joke, moving closer to her. "I'm glad to see that you're still well. Though, I suppose that fight means that bastard found you, huh? Which means you'll have to move again."
"Unfortunately so." She links her arm through yours, her other hand resting against your bicep as she turns towards the others. "Everyone, this is Gojo (Y/N). She's a demon."
Everyone seems surprised at this considering you give off practically no aura, scent, or anything else that could've even remotely hinted towards you being a demon. Ignoring their shock, Tamayo tells you the name of each person. The Kamado siblings, Tanjiro and Nezuko, greet you with kindness. Yushiro on the other hand simply glares at the place where Tamayo is holding onto you.
"Let's quickly head inside before the sun comes up." Tamayo doesn't seem to notice the glaring as she ushers you inside and down into the basement. The others follow after- two because they too can't be in the sun but the third purely out of curiosity despite the aching in his body.
"Lady Tamayo, how exactly did you meet this demon?" It doesn't pass your notice the way Yushiro hisses the word when referring to you.
"This will be a bit of a long story. Let's sit down, shall we?" Tamayo kneels onto the dusty ground without care despite her hatred towards such things while you plop carelessly onto your ass. Yushiro looks like he's going to pop a blood vessel just seeing Tamayo kneeling in filth while nobody else pays any mind to it. He reluctantly kneels on the other side of her, displeasure plastered on his pale face.
"Where to begin." Tamayo sighs as she folds her hands over her lap with a thoughtful expression. "It was nearly four hundred years ago when we first met. It wasn't long after I turned into a demon when we crossed each others paths. She wasn't anything like I was expecting her to be when she claimed herself to be a demon as well. She held no care for consuming blood of either humans nor animals, purely interested in eating her favorite human foods. Her lack of demonic instinct was inspiring."
"I opened up to her quite quickly, expressing how I too had no desires to give in to such monstrous ways. She helped me break free from Kibutsuji, though I still had some cravings towards flesh and blood. With her support, I survived off of animals and human corpses before I was able to transition into solely needing blood to survive. Without her I likely wouldn't be here."
The others turn to you only to sweat drop when they see you blissfully eating the daifuku Tanjiro purchased for you. It seems you weren't paying attention to the story at all- not that you need to considering you were there when it happened. Despite being nearly four hundred years ago, you remember your time with her clearly. She was your best friend during those months and you'd never forget her in a million years.
"I truly never expected to see her again after we parted ways." Tamayo reaches over, gently placing her hand over yours which unfortunately stops you from stuffing your face. "For the longest time I wondered if she was still alive, wandering the earth in search of new foods to try. I cannot express how relieved I am to see her again."
"Awe, I missed you too." You pat the top of her head- something you used to do quite often.
This casual notion seems to piss Yushiro off as he quickly moves to swing at you. Tamayo doesn't bother to interfere like she had when Yushiro attacked Tanjiro before your arrival, knowing the hit would never connect.
Yushiro's fist stops inches from your face, unable to move any further. His eyes widen as he stares in disbelief, able to feel a pressure against his hand. Before he's able to question it or react he's left speechless as you simply pat his hand before gently pushing it away from you.
Tamayo chuckles softly, covering her mouth with a delicate hand. "That never ceases to amaze me."
"What just happened?" Tanjiro questions, looking amazed.
"Let's just say that (Y/N) is a very powerful demon with many unique abilities." Tamayo leaves out any details, not wanting to give your powers away even to those she trusts.
"She's that strong even without consuming humans?" Tanjiro seems even more impressed, practically staring at you with stars in his eyes. "How is that possible?"
Instead of having Tamayo answer, you decide to. "I was pretty strong before I became a demon. Not as strong as I am now, obviously, but strong enough to where it enhanced my new strength even more. I trained a lot to perfect my techniques and I gained my strength and energy the same way humans do- eating and sleeping. Four hundred years is a long time to work on such things."
"If you're so strong, how come you're not one of the twelve kizuki?" Yushiro interrupts, obviously not believing in your so called strength.
"Easy." You shrug nonchalantly as you stuff another daifuku in your mouth. "Kibutsuji doesn't know I exist."
