I'm Sorry... Nemi (Demon Slayer)

part 9

(warning, the events in this chapter could be off. I don't remember all the details, and I don't have the manga with me and Google is slow RN.)

Sanemi was giving a cold talking to with the losers of the exercises.

"You punks, you lost so easily. How the hell are you not dead yet?"

Sanemi said with the same scary face as before.

Meanwhile, Genya was outside. Thinking of a way to get Sanemi's attention.

Wait, can't I just talk to him?

Genya realized he was wasting his time thinking of how to start a conversation with Sanemi.

But he still had to think of how to get Sanemi to listen and not shut him out again.

Genya thought about it for days. Untill he decided he needed to just talk to Sanemi before he went to Gyomei's training.

Then one day, Genya mustered up the courage to just talk to Sanemi.

Sanemi was walking in the hallway of his his when Genya saw him from behind a corner.

Genya took a deep breath and walked out from the corner, trying to keep up with Sanemi.

"Ni- Chan!"

Sanemi turned around at this.

"Don't call me that. What do you want?"

"I want to talk to you."

*Meanwhile Tanjiro*

Man, this training is really brutal. Even Iguro gave me more breaks. I just need to-"

Tanjiro heard commotion.

Huh?

"Don't talk to me like we're brothers. If you don't knock it off, I'll kill you."

Sanemi started walking away.

"But, Ni- Chan, I've tried to talk to you for so long, please just listen!"

"Honestly, I could care less."

"But, I've been trying so hard to become a hashira, I even ate a demon."

The room became silent.

"What did you say, demons?"

Sanemi's face got terrifying once more.

"You ate them?"

Sanemi disappeared.

"Genya, look out!"

Tanjiro jumped to push genya out of the way. Sanemi still managed to put a small cut on Genya's nose.

"AHH! HE'S BACK! EVERYONE, PRETEND YOU'VE FAINTED!"

Zenitsu cried.

"What the hell?! Why are you trying to kill Genya?!"

"I'm not gonna kill him, that'd be too easy. Instead I'll break his body beyond repare, unless he were to quit the demon slayer corps. Then I'd forgive him."

"If he's not your brother, then why do you care? Either way, it's Genya's decision! You can't hurt him!"

"Oh? Then I'll break you beyond repare first."

"Tanjiro!"

Sanemi attempted to attack Tanjiro, but somehow failed. Tanjiro had blocked his attack.

Genya stood there watching as the two fought, untill Tanjiro ordered Zenitsu to take Genya to safety.

Zenitsu listened and took genya by the hand, leading him away from Sanemi.

Dang it, Aniki's super angry, that was a mistake telling him what I did.

"Is that actually your brother? I pity you. That guy is crazy!"

Genya punched Zenitsu in the side of his head.

"Don't insult my older brother you punk!"

"What the heck dude! I'm on your side!"
