Fate [Demon Slayer]

Chapter 5

Hello hello! There will be some topics such as self harm, eating disorders and suicide in this chapter so if that triggers you, why are you reading this book? I said in the description 😅 but you can just stop reading if it triggers you. Enjoy!

Obanai's pov:
I was the first one to wake up. What happened? Why was this time jump different than the others? Does that mean we went further forward than the other ones?
I look around. We are at my estate. In my room to be specific. It looks like the memory is waiting for the others to wake up as nothing is happening now.
When is this hell going to be over? Is it ever going to end? Why was it me?

Mitsuri's pov:
I open my eyes slowly, blinking intensely to get used to the light. I sit up. Obanai is already awake. I look around and find that Tanjiro is still unconscious. Where are we? Is this Obanai's room?
I've only been here a couple of times. It's very plain with only a futon in the corner of the room and a dresser. I guess he doesn't really have many visitors so he doesn't see the point of decorating it. It's a shame.

Tanjiro's pov:
I jolt awake. Whoah! Where are we? This is a plain bedroom. Kanroji is looking at me she was probably waiting for me to get up.
The memory seems to start since we are all now awake. Iguro's past self walks in. It doesn't look like this was that long ago.
He takes Kaburamaru off his neck and flops onto his futon. (Flops automatically corrected to flips 😂)
Kaburamaru instantly slithers towards him and lays on his back. (He's lying on his stomach) suddenly, Iguro gets up and walks across the room. He opens a drawer and takes out a razor blade. Kaburamaru goes towards him and slithers up his legs to his neck.
Iguro walks to his bathroom and shuts the door locking it behind him. We (of course) appear inside the bathroom.
We see Kaburamaru bite Iguro's hand softly as he rolls up his sleeve. Since he doesn't stop he bites it harder until Iguro takes Kaburamaru down and gently yeets him away. He frantically takes the blade and presses it down on his arm. He pauses, and then swipes it across his arm. Blood starts coming out.
He does it again. And again. And again. I look over to Iguro. He's kind of pale just watching all of this. He makes eye contact with me and immediately looks away.

Mitsuri's pov:
Why? Why? Why? I want to stop him but I know I can't interact with the memory. I can't watch this! I look away. Maybe if I just focus on something else. My eyes keep wandering back. I close them tightly as to not keep watching this gruesome scene.
Why would he do this to himself? Why didn't I know? How couldn't I see it? Why didn't he tell me?
These thoughts run through my mind as I can still hear him grunt in pain sometimes. Kaburamaru is hissing at him and climbing him just to get flung away again.
Finally after a long time I think he's done. I open my eyes and he's just staring down at his arms. He's crying. I want to help him. Give him a hug. Why couldn't I have been there?

Obanai's pov:
Finally it's done. I see myself wrap up my arms tightly in bandages. I get up but almost immediately stumble. It must've been from the blood loss.
I can't remember which time this was. It usually goes similar to this every time. Let's just hope that they think this was a one time thing.
Suddenly we start spinning again. Not bad like the last one. We are probably going to a memory near the time of this one. That can't be good but basically none of the memories shown so far have been.

Hey. Shorter chapter but I was sooo busy today. Also I thought that this would be a good place to end. It's like 11:30 so I still got the chapter out today. You cannot end my motivation. Hehe. Have a good day/night!
