Chapter 5: Headaches

[Tanjiro focused chapter, kinda spew out the au a little bit. I swear the other characters will be here this time 💀👍]

Tw: implied violence and near death
——————————————

It was late at night, how did anyone know? The giant ass clock in the main room. Despite it always being dark, there was indeed a way to tell the time.

Tanjiro laid on the couch, suffering to say the least. He got hit with another headache. Now even though he was a demon and couldn't die, he can sure as hell feel pain. He half wishes that he just died instead of having to share a soul and body with Muzan. He's roughly 18 now, three years after the final battle.

It felt like an eternity after that battle, within his mind and against his friends. That day still shakes him to his core.

He noticed Genya walk out of the spring room, fowl in hand and face red hot from the steam.

Tanjiro didn't know what to say, he honestly couldn't tell if that was his Genya or a different one. Though the giant scar down the middle of his chest and back kinda gave it away.

"Seems you healed well" Tanjiro sat up with a smile. "How's everything been?"

"Good I guess, stressful about the trial next week" Genya sat down next to Tanjiro, drying his heavily scarred arms off. "I still can't thank you enough for saving me, even if it costed my relationship with Sanemi for a while" Genya half smiled.

"Speaking of him, how is he doing?" Tanjiro asked.

"We had a few rough patches after the battle, but made up after...with a few rough patches...you know my brother, he beat your ass during hashira training" Genya laughed a bit. "And thanks for saving me from getting my eyes gouged out by him"

"No problem, the bruises were painful but hey. We did it" Tanjiro

The 19 year old smiled back at Tanjiro.

"So what's this trial you mentioned?" Tanjiro asked.

"Oh, we'll it's an event where sentinels in training go to prove themselves, kinda like Final Selection" Genya explained.

Tanjiro hummed.

Douma, Muichiro, and Tengen walked out of a room, Bickering as usual.

"Why did you freeze the water?!" Tengen hissed at the upper moon.

"I though it would have been funny" He smirked.

"My legs are numb and feel like noodles" Muichiro commented.

"Can you guys be quiet?" Tanjiro asked some what on a sterner tone.

"Or what, you barely could kill Akaza in every other universe" Douma teased.

Genya showed the hand motions for "cut it out, or you're fucked-"

Douma looked in confusion before seeing red glaring eyes stare into his soul.

Tanjiro leaned back, crossing his arms. Waiting for Douma to make a response or move.

"Never mind-" Douma walked off.

Genya just stared in awe on how fast Tanjiro got up.

Tanjiro flopped onto the couch again. "My headache is now worse." He grunts. Closing his eyes.

"Want me to lead you to the zen room? It has tea. Places to lay down and it's quiet." Genya suggested to him.

"That would be nice, thank you very much Genya" Tanjiro sat up.

"Any time man" Genya smiled before leading his friend to the zen room.
