Never Forget You (Tokito Muichiro X Reader)

Chapter 60

Previously on Chapter 59

I feel a strange presence near us. I turn my head to look at the door behind me. "Someone's here..." I said. The door slowly slides open and a figure crawls in. In an instant, I can tell that he's a demon. What is he doing here??

-More Danger-

Y/N P.O.V

Muichiro is the first to react. He pulls out his sword and strike the demon. "Mist Breathing Technique - Fourth Form : Shifting Flow Flash" he said. As the mist cleared, the demon is gone. It didn't take long for us to realize he had moved to the ceiling. I quickly grab my sword.

"Please stop... please stop tormenting me. It hurts!" He cried out. It almost makes me feel bad for the demon. I pull out my sword as Onii-Chan is the second to strike the demon. Mui and Onii-Chan's attack seem to have missed. But the demon isn't fighting back at all. Instead, he just keeps on crying.

Nezuko-Nee rush towards him and kicks him on his abdomen. "Nezuko! Don't transform! You'll go into full demon form, so stop it!" Onii-Chan said. I rush pass Nee-San and slice through the demon's neck. I frown at the sight. This is too easy for an Upper Moon demon. It can't be just that.

I let out a gasp when the head starts to grow a body. I clench my hands around the hilt of my sword. I turn my head to look at the headless body to see it had grown a head.

Muichiro lunges at the one that had grown a body. The demon lower his hand down that's holding a fan. A strong gust of wind blows at him. My eyes widen as I rush towards Muichiro, only for the two of us to get send flying off.

"Y/N!! Tokito-Kun!!" Onii-Chan yelled out as he's being held by Nee-San. His voice gradually becomes smaller the further we got sent away. I turn my body to face Muichiro as we're both closing in on the ground.

Muichiro uses his breathing technique to soften his fall. He turn to look at me and swiftly catches me in his arms. My hands are on his shoulders as his arms wrapped around my waist.

"Thank you, Mui-Chan..." I said. He smiled softly at me and nod his head. He gently lowers me down. I turn my head to look at the direction of the house. "We've got to return to them. The demon they're fighting are dangerous. I can sense more demons in them" I said, worried for the safety of my older siblings.

"You're right, Y/N... let's go" he said. I nod my head. We start to run towards the house. I start to do a silent prayer in my head, hoping that Onii-Chan and Nee-San would both be okay.

As we run, I notice someone is getting chased from the corner of my eyes. "Kotetsu-Kun!" I said, realizing who it is. The thing that's chasing him is fish demon. It has a vase on its back. "We've got to help him, Mui-Chan!" I said. I turn my direction and run towards Kotetsu-Kun.

"Angel Breathing Technique - Fifth Form : Ethereal Godlight, Raphael!" I said. I feel power surging through my body as I gain speed. I jump forward and do a spin as I slice the demon's head. I land in front of Kotetsu-Kun. I turn my head to look at Kotetsu-Kun. "Are you okay, Kotetsu-Kun?" I asked. He nods his head. He looks shaken up.

Muichiro appears next to me. "You're in our way... so hurry up and run" he said to Kotetsu-Kun. I turn my head to look at the demon to see the head is growing again. That's a little creepy to witness but now's not the time to get creeped out. I've got to figure out a way to kill it.

Muichiro seems to have figured it out. He jumps forward and slice the vase. The fish demon let out a pained scream. It falls on the ground and start to disintegrate.

"Wahh!!!" Kotetsu-Kun wailed as he rushed towards me. He jumps and throws his arms around my neck. "Thank you!!" He jumps off and starts flailing his arms. "I was scared... I thought I was going to die! I was so scared..." he cried out as he turn to Muichiro and climbs on him. "I'm sorry I called you a kelp head!" He cried out.

"Kelp head? You mean me?" Muichiro said. I let out a soft giggle. He looks and sounded offended. Kotetsu-Kun panicked as he starts apologizing, claiming that he was just upset with the way Muichiro acted to him the other day. I walk up to him and gently pat his back.

"Just let it slide, Mui-Chan. He was angry because you forcefully took the key from him" I said. He turned his head to look at me. I smile softly at him to calm him. He let out a sigh and nod his head. Kotetsu-kun climbs on me as he hugs me tightly with his arms around my neck.

I blink my eyes a few times. My eyes soften as I feel him shaking in fear. I smile and wrap my arms around him comfortingly. "There there, Kotetsu-Kun... you're safe now. We're here to protect you" I said, rubbing his back comfortingly.

I feel him slowly calming down. He finally pulls away and climbs off me. "We don't have time for this. We're leaving now. So you do whatever you want. Let's go, Y/N..." Muichiro said. I turn my head to look at him.

I was about to say something to Muichiro, when I feel a tug on my shirt. I turn my head to see Kotetsu-Kun. Even though he's wearing a mask, I can clearly feel his fear. My eyes soften at how scared he seems.

"Mui-Chan... We can't leave him here all by himself with all the demons lurking around here" I said. He turn his head to look at me. Kotetsu continued to cling onto me. I place my hand on his head.

"Haganezuka-San's been working non-stop without sleep to restore a sword... please..." he pleaded as he went down on his knees. I turn to look at Muichiro. As much as I want to go back to Onii-Chan to help him defeat that demon. I can't just ignore Kotetsu-Kun.

"Mui-Chan..." I said. Muichiro turn to look at me. I just send him a determined face. "If you want to ignore Kotetsu-Kun. Then so be it. But I'm not going to just abandon him..." I said. He open his mouth to say something when he went silent. He place his hand on his head. Mui-Chan turn to look at Kotetsu-Kun.

Muichiro and I run through the forest. Kotetsu-Kun is on his shoulder as he screams out of pure fear. I feel sweat rolling down the side of my head, feeling a little worried for the boy.

It's probably isn't a good idea to carry Kotetsu-Kun with such speed. He's obviously isn't train for this. But we don't have much of a choice now since this is the fastest way to get to our destination.

A hut eventually comes to view in front of us. I notice a small vase rolling into view. I stop running at the sight of it. Muichiro doing the same as he lowers Kotetsu-Kun down.

"The demon's here. You stand back and protect this boy, Y/N. I'll handle the demon myself" Muichiro said, turning his head to look at me. I stare at him worriedly. He sends me small reassuring smile. Muichiro is more than capable of fighting in his own. He's a Hashira for a reason. So I just nod head in agreement as he lunges at the vase.

I stand protectively in front of Kotetsu-Kun, while looking here and there to make sure there are no demons around us. We have to stay alert because we don't know what's lurking around here. Things just keeps on getting more and more dangerous.
