Light Up My World (Kamado Tanjiro X Reader X Tokito Muichiro)

Chapter 5

Previously on Chapter 4

Tanjiro covers the basket with a sheet of fabric. He straps it on his back. "Let's go, Y/N..." he said. I smile softly and nod my head. The two of us make our way out of the cave, continuing our journey to Mt. Sagiri in search for Urokodaki Sakonji.

-A Newly Found Power-

Y/N P.O.V

We would ask people here and there for directions to Mt. Sagiri. A kind woman warns us about people missing in the mountain during night time and offers us a place to stay. Tanjiro wants to keep going so we politely decline her offer.

The sun has set, so Nezuko can walk freely. She walks in between us with her hands in ours. I feel a little uneasy as I sense something lurking around somewhere. Tanjiro suddenly stops walking as he looks up at a house on top of the hill.

"The smell of blood. Someone must've gotten hurt!" He said. He quickly pulls Nezuko along with me, running up the stairs. "Hey, are you okay?" He asked, sliding the door open. The sight makes me froze. There's a demon feasting on a corpse.

"This is my turf. I don't appreciate your interruption" he said. He turned his head to look at us. His eyes landed on me. He licks his lips, as he stares at me with hunger. "You're a marechi. While the other smells kind of funny. Say... are you all humans?" He asked, staring coldly at us.

He suddenly lunges at us, mainly at Tanjiro. I quickly push him out of the way, making the demon collides on me. The impact sends me flying back. I lift my feet and place it on his chest, kicking him off as I back flip.

"A good reflect. But your skill still seems pretty dull. So you can't be one of them" he said. I clench my hands into tight fists. Tanjiro rushes over to stand next to me.

He lunges at us again, Tanjiro swings his axe at him. He manage to land a hit under the demon's chin. "An axe, huh? Not bad... but a wound like this would heal in an instant" he said. The wound starts to close up, making him smirk triumphantly at us. "You see? The blood has stopped" he said.

He lunges at us again, Tanjiro moves to stand in front of me. My eyes widen in shock. I grab onto the demon's shirt to pull him off Tanjiro. But he didn't budge. He turn to me and swing his arm, sending me falling over. Tanjiro let out a strained sound. Nezuko comes rushing towards him, kicking the demon's head off of his body.

Tanjiro shriek at the sight and pushes the body off him. I stay alert as the body starts to move. "Tanjiro. Look out!" I yelled out. I move to stand in front of him, kicking the body away from Tanjiro. I feel blood dripping down my arm, realizing the claw had scratched me. I wince in pain as I feel something snapped in me.

I lift my hand, noticing icy smoke appears around my hand. I blink my eyes as I stare at it in confusion. I feel something pulsing, I notice something shining on my wrist. I stare at it to see a pattern.

This pattern had been there since the day I woke up in the Kamado's house. I don't know how or why it got there. I keep questioning myself. No matter how much I tried to wipe it away, it just stays. What the hell is going on?

I quickly move out of the way as the demon's body tries to attack me again. I turn my head to look at the mark. This little glowing can't possibly help me fight against this demon. I wish I can do something else that'll help me fight this demon instead. My mind starts to visualize a weapon, a sword.

My eyes widen when ice starts to expand and forms into a sword. The sword is made of ice. It's cold to the touch but it looks really sharp.

I stare at it in complete shock. How is this even possible? Where does this sword even came from?? I hear a gasp and turn my head to look at Tanjiro who stares at me with a similar reaction.

"My... you sure are a strange one" the demon's head said. How can it still be alive even when he's severed from his body. I shake my head as the body tries to attack me. I duck out of the way and swing the sword, slicing off his arm. "Ahhh!! That sword is clearly made of ice. But it feels scorching hot!" He yelled out. I stare at the severed arm as it seems to struggle regenerating unlike the cut created from Tanjiro's axe. I stare at him, feeling a little confused at what he just exclaimed. Did he said hot? How can ice feel hot?

The body lunges at me. I block it but it still brought me far from where Nezuko and Tanjiro are. I hear Tanjiro yelling out my name. I swing the sword, trying to pry it away. But the demon's body swiftly jumps out of the way to avoid my attacks. The body has no eyes, so how can it avoid my attacks?

"Y/N!!!" A voice yelled out. I turn my head to see it's Tanjiro. He let his body collides on the demon's body, sending the two of them over the edge. My eyes widen in horror. I reach out, grabbing his hand before he could fall under. I feel my body slipping and a hand grabbing mine. I turn my head to see Nezuko. Together, we pull Tanjiro back up.

"That was a little reckless..." I said. He let out a laugh at what I said. I huffed and turned my head to look at the ice sword I had dropped. It had melted into water. I let out a sigh as the adrenaline subsides. I let my body falls on back onto the ground, breathing heavily.

"Are you okay?" Tanjiro asked. I turn my head to look at him and lightly nod my head, assuring him that I'm just tired. He let out a sigh of relief, probably thinking that I'm injured or something. I turn my head to look at my arm to see the wound had stopped bleeding. "What was that? That... ice sword" he said.

"No idea" I said, shaking my head. I turn my head to look at the mark on my arm. The shining had stopped and it looks like an ordinary tattoo. But now I know it's far more than that. What the hell is going on with me? Why did I suddenly able to do these stuff? Where did this ice power come from?
