THE EMBODIMENT OF LUCK || KNY

||One Of The Twelve Kitzuki||

You groan, grabbing your shoulder in pain as you run into someone who was running in the opposite direction. You didn't even realize that your shoulder was bleeding and cut open.

Nor did you realize that you bumped into a demon who was carrying her own head until you looked back. Clearly she was crying and trying to run away from someone, or something.

"Hey, wait just a moment." You call the demon, grabbing onto her head and pulling it out of the hands of the decapitated body.

"Wait! Please spare me! I beg you! I have to make my brother proud!"

You almost gave in from the sudden begging since it was something you weren't expecting, however if she was really dangerous, you have a feeling she would have killed you.

"It's okay, I won't kill you... Just tell me something and I'll let you go."

"... Okay."

"Have you seen a boy with a checkered haori and a scar on his forehead?"

She hesitated, already knowing that you who seemed to be a kind person might die if you stumbled upon her brother, but she might also die by your hands if she didn't answer.

She feared her brother too much anyway so it was a lose lose situation.

"Where I was running from, that's where you'll find him."

"Got it." Was all you said as you grabbed the head and set it on her body the right way.

"Thank you."

You just nodded your head towards the girl, however there was something so strange about the fact that she was just running away, as if she was scared.

As quickly as you can be while also being quiet is how fast you were going, following the voices of two people, one of them you recognized was Tanjiro but you didn't know who the other one was. Guess you were about to find out.

"It's alright."

Well clearly it's not, though you don't know what the two are talking about just yet and the demon sounding so calm and almost kind was unnerving to say the least.

"You don't need to worry, I'm stronger than you. I will create a bond with her, one made out of terror. She'll know what happens when I'm defied."

Makes sense, people make bonds like that all the time, but it never a happy bond as far as you know. Slowly, you walk out into the clearing, quiet enough that both Tanjiro and the demon hadn't noticed you just yet. 

If you could get close enough behind the demon, you could behead him without even being seen.

"I've had enough of you spouting this nonsense! Using fear to keep someone shackled to you isn't the bond of a family! And until you are able to figure that out, you'll never get what it is that you desire!" Tanjiro yells, pointing his broken sword at the demon before he notices you and has to restrain from reacting.

"So irritating, would you mind not shouting?"

'Wow, what a snobby demon' you thought as you walked closer, aiming your sword towards it.

"It's clear we don't agree."

"I'll never hand Nezuko to you."

"Very well, I'll just kill you."

"Not if I manage to cut your head off first."

"Now that's the spirit, I would love to see you try it. Let's see if you can take down a being like me, one of the twelve Kizuki."

Tanjiro tightens the grip on his sword, scared but still trying to stay as strong as possible. He watched you, nervous about your injuries and trying his best not to let any hints to the demon that you were behind him, hopefully you were strong enough to defeat a demon like that.
