What happened to you...? [Demon Slayer X Male Reader]

Chapter Two: Kanae's... Dead...?

M/N finally arrived at the place where the Demon Slayer Headquaters were, making M/N smile softly as he walked to the meeting place that was always held outside of Master Ubyashikis place.

M/N spotted all the Hashira talking to each other and lined up...

But hold on...

Wait...

'Where's Kanae...?'

M/N thought as he realised that Kanae was no longer here...

'Perhaps she quit...?'

M/N shrugged it off and continued to walk closer to the other Hashira but froze as he noticed a red headed boy tied up and confused.

And a Kakushi...
A very rude Kakushi...

M/N ran towards the boy as he began coughing shocking the Hashira as M/N pat the boys back.

"Are you alright? Are you injured??? Its okay! Kanae is a great nurse and her sisters are lovely! They'll help you."

The red head softly smiled at M/N as he introduced himself to the boy.

"Hello young boy. My names M/N L/N and I am the Panda Hashira, its a pleasure to meet you."

The red haired male tried to reply back but coughed and gasped as well as wheezed when he tried speaking when Shinobou handed M/N a drink that contained medicine to ease the pain.

"Drink."

M/N lifted the Drink high enough for the red head to drink as he finished drinking the boy spoke.

"M...My n-...names Tanjiro... Kamado Tanjiro..."

M/N smiled at Tanjiro and chuckled.

"You remind me so much of my friend Giyuu and....-"

M/N froze and shook it off not to draw any unwanted attention to himself.

"Anyways..."

M/N turned to face the Hashiras as he sighed.

"Why were you guys being harsh? That's not like you at all... And where's Kanae...?"

All the Hashira remained quiet including Shinobou.

"You mean she's-..."

M/Ns eyes widened as his eyes began to floss over. His beautiful E/C eyes. M/N fell onto his knees as tears streamed down his face.

He felt regret and also felt like if he never left to go exploring with Giyuu those many Moons ago he may have had a chance to save Kanae but...

Because he was captured he was too late...

"I-... I'm sorry K-...Kanae... I didn't save you..."

M/N spoke aloud as a hand was placed on his shoulder he turned around to be face to face with Giyuu and Tanjiro looked at M/N with a sorrowful expression across his features.

"Giyuu_San...?"

Giyuu smiled softly but bearly a large smile so anyone else could see, it was a small conforting smile.

M/Ns bottom lip trembled as M/N leaped onto Giyuu and embraced him tightly crying his heart out.

As M/N cried the Hashiras all felt as if their heart had broken.

M/Ns pitiful sobs made everything so sad and...

...Hurtful...

Tanjiro sat there looking at M/N sadly.
He knew how it felt to lose someone who felt like family or even a close relative...

Believe me...
He knows....
