Darkness Unveiled

What a strange need?

Notes:
In this fan fiction, Taisho is not a time period but instead a continent. Demons only appear in Taisho because that is where they originated and Taisho is a very old fashioned place where it is locked out like Yokohama. Dazai's goal: Get bitten by a demon, become immortal and set back. Dazai is 14 in this fan fiction and has indeed met Chuuya. The events of stormbringer have already happened when Chuuya was 13. Kouyo is 17, Mori is 34. The ages of all the characters in Kimetsu No Yaiba (Demon Slayer) remain the same. Thank you!

The clicking of keyboards filled the room. A young man, 14 years old, sitting ontop of a photo copier. Each and every letter written in the email was more formal than the other. "Get off the photo copier Dazai." The man says.

"Are you almost done?" The boy chimed, watching an older man typing on the old computer.

"Patient now, my dear Dazai." Mori, the man with black hair, replied. "I need to figure out a way to do make your wish happen."

"Ugh, fine. Do your dumb research." The young boy, Dazai, groaned.

After several minutes of clicking and searching across the dark web and through information of the different countries, he came across something. "Dazai, come here for me."

"What? Did you finally get it?"

"Yes, but not quite."

"Huh? How does that make sense?"

"We can make you immortal, by killing you."

"What?! I knew I got to pass old age but I get to kill myself and become immortal forever?! Then I can kill myself a thousand– No, A million times!"

"Hold it now. It's not a certain chance. In a place called Taisho, they have these monsters which they call demons. If a demon tries to kill you and it's blood gets into your wounds you will become a demon. You aren't completely immortal, you're allergic to the sun." Mori explains. "It's a very risky choice. If you do, you'll have to travel across the world to a whole other continent, and somehow get back as a demon."

"Oh. Well... Who wants to do a suicide during the daytime? Night is fine! And even if I get stuck I'll just send you a letter!"

"Hm, if you say so howe—"

"Wait! Are you sending me alone?"

"Well, yes. You're the one becoming immortal. "

"Ugh, seriously?"

"Okay, fine. I'll send you on the ship with Kouyo, and then your on your own from there. Maybe, depending on any exceptional circumstances, will I consider sending Chuuya."

"Ah! Thanks old hag! Maybe you're not a total jerk after all!" Dazai smiles. Not at Mori, but at the suggestion. He'd never smile at Mori, or at least, never dream of it. Any sense of happiness sent to that man would be crushed, might aswell make that happiness fake.

Of course, preparation took time. The ship was built specially for this journey, and locations were arranged to land by a mountain. From there, Dazai would have to walk up the mountain in the snow, wai until night time and get bitten by what the Taisho people called 'Demons' . Finally, the day came, they set off at 9:30.

"Ah, are you excited?" Kouyo smiles, rolling up and applying her lipstick.

"I guess." Dazai answers. He mind wanders off to the sea.

"What's on your mind? Speak out. Mori isn't here to tell you off."

"Just thinking about all the good and bad things. Good things: I could get bitten by a demon and actually become immortal, be able to do suicide as many times as I want, and not have to go on any missions during the day. Or I could not survive the demon attack. The bad things: I do become a demon and then I die in the sun, or I get attacked and survive the attack alive, hence having to redo my entire mission."

"Well aren't you just bright?" The girl chuckles. "Or maybe you'll kill Mori and we'd all become free with you or me as our leader."

"Oh! That's a good one. I like how you think Kouyo!"

"Thank you, young Dazai. What is it that Mori calls you again?"

"Shuuji, young Dazai, Dear, Wide eyed buffoon—"

"Right, Dear! May I call you that?"

"Be my guest, atleast then it won't sound so pedophile-y when Mori says it. Also what is up with that Elise girl?"

"I have no idea. Did you see what she did to Dear Chuuya? Poor boy, he was dressed up like Cinderella and forced to wear makeup."

"Hah?! No way! You better call me the next time that happens!"

Finally, the ship landed on shore. Dazai carefully stepped onto the rocks, making sure he didn't trip. "Thanks for the ride Kouyo! I'll be sure to contact you when I finish!"

"Bye, dear!" She smiles, waving as the ship sails away.

"Bye!" He smiles, the grin instantly fading as he turns away, heading up the mountain towards the snow. "Now what..."
