Limitless (KNY X Reader)

Seven

When you return to the room the boys are all spread out on their futons, fast asleep. Nezuko lays curled up against her brothers side in her smaller form, your blindfold held loosely in her hands. The sight makes you smile as you move to lay with them, laying between Tanjiro and Zenitsu.

You say a silent goodnight to your new group of friends before allowing yourself to drift off to sleep alongside them. As per usual your dreams are filled with past memories that you'll never forget regardless of how much time has passed. Hundreds of years can pass and yet the memories will remain unaltered as if they only happened just yesterday. All of your memories are precious to you, even the seemingly bad ones. You never want to have the misfortune of forgetting them.

By the time you awaken the sun has already risen. Thankfully the room has no windows to allow the light in. This lets both you and Nezuko remain out with the others without worry. You'll just have to make sure she's safe whenever the door is opened.

It seems Tanjiro is already awake as he is no longer laying next to you. Instead, his spot was taken by Inosuke who must have scooted over to you in his sleep. Nezuko probably got up when her brother did which gave Inosuke room to move. Now him and Zenitsu both are snuggled up against you, arms loosely hanging over your stomach as their heads press against your upper arms.

Huffing in amusement, you slide their arms off of you before getting up, stretching out your muscles. You must've slept in one position the entire night- probably from being held down. You may be a demon but damn does your body get stiff sometimes.

"Good morning!" Tanjiro calls out once he notices you're awake. Him and Nezuko were sat near her box where he was brushing through her tangled hair while she dozes on and off.

You move over to sit next to him, watching as he pulls the brush through his sisters hair before placing your blindfold back on. "Morning, Tanjiro. Did you sleep well?"

Tanjiro flushes slightly, remembering how he had woken up next to the woman, his arms wrapped around her. He wasn't expecting her to be next to him when he opened his eyes considering she wasn't there when he had gone to bed.

He informs you that he slept well, avoiding eye contact. You smirk in amusement at his obvious embarrassment. It's so easy to fluster the poor guy that you just can't help it. His reactions are far too cute to stop.

Suddenly, Nezuko perks up, slamming her head into her brothers chin. His eyes widen in pain as he holds his chin, stunned from the sudden attack. Nezuko, however, scrambles away from Tanjiro and instead crawls into your lap, still in her usual size.

You hug the girl tightly, cooing at her as you nuzzle her hair. Tanjiro had informed you that she was put under hypnosis to view humans as her family, and that she even views some demons as so. This makes you wonder if she views you as an older sister considering she grew quite attached to you in the little time you've spent together.

Tanjiro, despite being in pain, looks at the two of you with a soft gaze. He loves that you and his sister get along so well. He believes it will be good for her to have another girl around, especially an older one that she can look up to. Hopefully when he manages to turn her back into a human, you agree to become one as well. Then you all can continue to be together.

The peaceful moment is ruined when Inosuke wakes up. The boar boy stomps straight on top of Zenitsu's back as he steps over him, making his way over to where the three of you are sitting. Zenitsu loudly complains at the rude awakening while Inosuke ignores him, entirely focused on you.

"You!" He points at you with one hand while the other rests on his hip. "Fight me!"

Tanjiro goes to tell him to leave you alone only to stop when you readily agree without complaint. "You really don't have to-"

"It's fine!" You set Nezuko aside as you stand up, stretching out your limbs. "Don't worry, I'm the strongest."

The three others watch as you stand in front of Inosuke, hands placed in your pockets as you stand there relaxed. It doesn't even look like you're getting ready to fight, and you don't even move at all when Inosuke launches at you.

"Huh?!" Zenitsu screams in shock when none of Inosuke's hits seem to make contact with you. "What's going on?!"

Tanjiro perks up in excitement, remembering what had happened when Yushiro tried attacking you. "Oh! I forgot about that!"

"You know what's going on?" Zenitsu moves to sit next to Tanjiro, eyes still trained on the fight that isn't much of a fight to begin with. You still haven't even moved from your spot.

"Not exactly." Tanjiro sheepishly rubs the back of his neck. "When I first met her something similar happened. All I know is that she's apparently a very strong demon with a lot of different abilities."

Zenitsu nods along in understanding before freezing. "Did you just say demon?" When Tanjiro confirms Zenitsu screeches in shock. "There's no way she's a demon! She doesn't emit any demonic sounds at all! I refuse to believe that!"

"Well, I was told she's a demon. Plus, she's been alive for over four hundred years." Tanjiro shrugs, turning his attention back towards the fight where Inosuke is yelling in anger at his failing hits. "I wouldn't really believe it either if I wasn't told. She doesn't smell like a demon nor does she act like one. Apparently she eats and sleeps just like humans do."

"Dammit! What the hell is going on?!" Inosuke's angry yelling cuts through their conversation. Looking over, they find that Inosuke finally stopped attacking, breathing heavily as he stares at you from beneath his mask.

"You really wanna know?" You ask him in a teasing tone. "In short, you haven't actually touched me. You touched the 'infinity' that exists between you and me." Holding up your hand, you wiggle your fingers at him. "Put your hand out."

Inosuke huffs in annoyance before doing as you said, his hand reaching towards your own. His eyes widen beneath his mask when he feels resistance before he can even make contact with your hand.

"You're not exactly stopped, but the closer you get, the slower you go." You explain before lacing your fingers with his. The second his hand is in your grasp you use your other hand to deliver a strong punch to his gut, making him cough out spit. When you release him, he collapses to the ground, unable to move.

"I win." You stick out your tongue as you hold up two peace signs.

Nezuko claps, her cheers for your win muffled by her bamboo muzzle. Tanjiro and Zenitsu stare at Inosuke, both impressed and somewhat intimidated by your strength. They can tell that you held back in order to not kill the boy and it makes them wonder just how strong you actually are if you holding back still rendered him immobile.

All they know is that they're happy you're on their side despite being a demon.

🤞>TAISHO SECRETS<🤞

🌌Zenitsu was genuinely shocked to discover that you're a demon since you really don't sound like one. The thought intimidates him since his hearing is extremely good.

🌌Tanjiro was extremely embarrassed when he woke up cuddling you. It took him a while to calm down only for that embarrassment to come back when you asked how he slept.

🌌Nezuko was jealous she didn't get to sleep next to you. She really does view you as a big sister.

🌌Inosuke didn't really get what you were talking about with your 'infinity'. All he knows is that he really doesn't want to ever get punched by you again.
