I rush inside my Estate and head to my room. I sit on the ground as I recall what happened at the ramen place. I lift my hand, placing it over my mouth. Why? Why does the ramen tastes like that? It tastes like... nothing.

-What's Happening To Me?-

Y/N P.O.V

I hear a thud and turn my head to see the book given to me by Oyakata-Sama. I reach out, gently grabbing it. I stare at it for a few seconds. I slowly open it to reveal a bunch of writings. I wonder if I would be able to find an answer in this book like Oyakata-Sama said I would.

There's no harm in reading it, Y/N... Luana's voice echoed in my head. I blink my eyes as I lift my hand, letting her materialize in front of me. She smiles softly at me. Go on. Read it... maybe things will make sense after you do... she said, nodding her head towards the book in my hands. I smile at her and nod my head. I turn my head to look at the book once again, finally made up my mind to start reading it.

It is believed that there will be a baby girl born during the full moon when the first snow falls. This girl is believed to be the descendant of the winter goddess. The proof that she is the one, is a snowflake marking on her arm that will appear when she came of age.

As I read that part, I turn my head to look at my arm where the marking is.

I turn my head to look at Luana

I turn my head to look at Luana. I turn my head to look at the book again.

She is able to summon all kinds of power. If she's trained well enough, she will be able to do wonders. If there is anyone who is able to kill the progenitor of demons. It is HER. 

There are two ancestors's blood flowing in her vein. One of which is a goddess. While the other... is a demon.

I froze as I read the last sentence. The book falls out of my hands as I stare at it in shock. "O-One of my ancestor is a demon? Does... does that means I'm related to him? T-To... Kibutsuji Muzan?" I said, turning my head to look at Luana.

I know it must've been a shock for you, Y/N... she said. I feel tears gathering in my eyes at truth I just discovered. She lift her hand to cup my cheek. But I swat it away before she could come in contact.

"And you didn't even think of telling me about this?! I thought you're suppose to be my guardian. What sort of guardian are you?! Keeping a secret this huge from me?" I said, angrily. She lowers her head as she avoids making eye contact with me. I shake my head. I cover my face with my hands. "Oh Goodness... h-how would Tanjiro react? I'm... related to the man that murdered his entire family and turn Nezuko into a demon" I said.

Y/N... calm down... Luana said. I remove my hands from my face and glares at her. You need to control your emotion, Y/N. Or something bad will happen to you she said.

"What are you talking about?" I asked. She points at me, more specifically at my hands. I turn my head to look at them and gasps. My nails have sharpened to the point they look like demon's claws. "What is this?? What is happening to me?!" I asked.

If you lose control of your emotions... the demon's blood in your vein will act up. You will turn into a demon... she said. I let out an airy laugh at what she said. I shake my head, not wanting to believe what she just said. Losing tastes of human's food is the first phase of that. Y/N... you're already turning into a half-demon she said.

I turn my head to look at her in disbelief. She points her finger towards the small mirror I have in the corner of the room. I walk towards it to take a look. My eyes widen as I shake my head in disbelief. One eye is e/c. While the others is in the shade of blood red.

"No... no no no no" I said, shaking my head. I let out a yell as I slam the mirror on the ground. I clutch my hair as I keep shaking my head. "This isn't happening. THIS ISN'T HAPPENING?!" I screamed out.

"Y/N??" A voice said. I flinched at the sound. I cover my demon eye and turn my head to see Tanjiro standing in the doorway. "What happened, Y/N? I heard the sound of your screaming" he said.

"T-Tanjiro..." I said. He walks up to me, staring at me with a worried gaze. I shake my head and back away from him. "Don't come any closer, Tanjiro. D-Don't l-look at me" I said. I turn my body so my back is facing him.

"Just talk to me, Y/N. You know you can talk to me about anything. I'm here for you" he said. I feel his hand on my shoulder as he gently turn me to face him. "Just tell me. What happened?" He asked. Tears starts to fall from my eyes as I continue to cover my demon eye.

"I'm a monster, Tanjiro..." I cried out. He stared at me with a confused gaze. "I-I'm c-changing" I said. I move away from him, creating some distance between us. I slowly remove my hand that's covering my demon eye. "I'm a half-demon, Tanjiro. Look at me!" I said. His eyes widen at what I said. I choke out a sob as I start to cry.

"A-And what's worse is that... I-I'm related to him. I'm related to Kibutsuji!" I said. His eyes widen at what I said. I feel my knees going numb, and I fall on them. "You have every right to hate me now, Tanjiro. I'm related to the demon that murdered your entire family. I'm a monster!" I cried out.

"Hey, hey hey hey" Tanjiro said. He gently grabs both of my wrists, pulling them away from covering my face. "Look at me" he said, in a soft voice. I just stare into his red eyes. His eyes held gentleness in them. Not a single sign of hatred or disgust. He cups my cheeks, gently wiping away the tears.

"I could never hate you. Human or not... you're still Y/N" he said. I just stare at him in sadness. He gently pulls me into a hug. I clutch onto his shirt as I bury my face into the crook of his neck. "We'll figure something out, okay?" He said. I nod my head lightly. Luana said I'm slowly turning into a demon. Gosh... why is something like this happening to me?! Is there a way for me to fix this? I don't wanna be a demon.
