The Living Hell (Hantengu clones x Tanjiro)

The end...or is it?

Hey guys!! This is the very last chapter!! I'm so excited to announce this bc it's my first ever book. Anyway, let get onto the book.

SHINOBU'S POV

According to what Tomioka claims, Tanjiro hasn't been hurting himself for a while. I called Aoi to run over some things while I call Tanjiro for our appointment. I heard knocking on the door so I opened it and saw Tanjiro trembling, with an angry Giyu by his side. I was oddly confused at first. Why was Giyu mad? Never mind that, why is he here? He is never here with Tanjiro during our appointments.

"What brings you here...Tomioka?"
I asked.

"Tanjiro was cutting himself. Just for some stupid ass dream."
Giyuu snarled. I knew he was drunk.

"Oh. I can take care of that. You can go-"

"No. I think it's better for me to be here."
Giyuu said. I was shocked. Giyuu always gave Tanjiro space when he needs it.

"Um, okay. Please, come in and sit down."
I told them, moving to the side so they can come in. I noticed Aoi was shocked as well. She also looked...disappointed? I guess Giyuu being drunk really had an effect on her. Aoi sat down and so did I so we can start our session.

"So, Tomioka, what happened?"
I calmly said, hoping not the anger Giyuu anymore.

"Tanjiro had a "nightmare" or so about the demons. Apparently it was so bad that he started crying. He was such a pussy that he started cutting himself-"

"I understand that they're just dreams, but you have to understand that he's been through a lot. That's something he never wants to go through again and it's a traumatic experience..."
Aoi muttered the last part after noticing she snapped. I took a deep breath before taking.

"Aoi's right. Tanjiro has gone through a lot only for just a week. Do you realize how much that affected him?"
I said. Giyuu looked more irritated than ever.

"Yes, I'm very aware of what he's been through. Are they hurting him? No. Are they still alive? No. It's just your fucking imagination!"
Giyuu said, slapping the back of Tanjiiro head, making him flinch and whimper in pain. I noticed Aoi's hands become a fist. I look at her as if I'm trying not to calm down.

"Tomioka-San. Please, don't hit him. If it's better, leave so I can talk to him."
I said to Giyuu.

"No. It seems that you're not doing a good job at helping him overcome this issue."
Giyuu snarled. My eyes widen at the sudden tone.

"I will tell you that me and Aoi have actually helped him-"

"Then why is he doing it again?"

"It's not like it's going to leave forever."
Aoi replied, trying not to sound mad.

"Instead of arguing, how about we listen to what Tanjiro has to say?"
I said calmly, hoping that this doesn't become physical. I look over to Tanjiro with a smile on my face.

"Now, Tanjiro, what was your dream about?"
I said in a relaxed tone.

"...u-um...they were...t-touching me...,"
Tanjiro tried explaining. I could tell he was on the verge of tears while explaining.
"All four of them. They were touching me a-at the s-same time...!"
Tanjiro said, finally breaking down. Giyuu looked over to Tanjiro and put his hand up to hit him. My eyes widen at the sudden action. Everything happened to fast...

*SMACK!*

"Aoi!"
I hear Tanjiro yelled. Giyuu slapped Aoi. She went infront of Tanjiro to protect him.
