JJK x KNY: The Spider Lily's Curse

Vengeance Awakened

A young white-haired girl, sat up in her be, gasping for air as she woke up from another strange dream. She had been having these dreams for several years now, but this one was different. This one felt more vivid, more...real.

In the dream, she was a young lady, surrounded by her family. They were standing in a large room, filled with a sense of foreboding. Nyx's parents were holding her tightly, tears were streaming down her face as a dark silhouette with four arms stepped into the room. She couldn't see who the person was, but her body reacted with fear as her mother harshly dropped her to the ground and pushed her over to the figure.

The figure made a grunting sound of anger as he gently picked up Nyx. He glared at her parents. "So, this is the "gift" you told me about?" The figure asked anger laced in his voice. 

Nyx's parents nodded their heads, shaking in fear. "Yes, lord ******. Our daughter has amazing skills in housework, and you may use her body however you want!" Nyx's father exclaims as she stared at him horrified.

Nyx suddenly felt a high amount of blood lust emit from the figure which was directed at her parents. The figure then grabbed her by the back of her kimono and lifted her up to his face. She stared at him, shaking in terror. The figure let out a cooing sound as he rubbed his knuckle on her cheek.

"Don't worry, my Siren. I won't hurt you." The figure promised, which caused her to calm down slightly. He then looked back at her parents and the soft expression turned cold as he glared at her. "Fine, I will take her." The figure said and her parents sighed in relief. With that, the figure turned around and started leaving the room, taking Nyx with her. The dream had ended when the figure stepped out of the room. 

Nyx never truly understood her dreams. She's tried asking her parents about them, but they chalked it up to weird dreams.

"Nyx, can you go with your brother to the village today?" Nyx heard her mother shout from outside. She got out of bed and headed outside to see her brother, Tanjiro, carrying a basket full of charcoal. He saw her and smiled at her.

"Let's go, Nyx!" Tanjiro exclaimed as he took her hand.

"Have a safe trip and be back before nightfall!" Kie warned her children as they started walking away from the house.

"Oni-Chan!" They heard their little brother shout, and they turned to see him and their younger sister rushing over to them. "Are you going to town again?"

"I want to come!" Hanako, their little sister shouted, and Nyx laughed softly as she used her other hand to pat her head. 

"I don't think that is a good idea, you two. We aren't taking the cart today, so we won't be able to carry you both when you get tired." Nyx informed her younger adopted siblings, and they pouted.

"Nyx is right." Kie said in a stern tone. "You know you can't walk as fast as they can." They two little kids didn't listen as they begged Tanjiro some more and it made Nyx chuckle. Tanjiro promised them that they will bring them back some goodies, which worked on them.

Tanjiro then looked up to see his other brother, Takeo. "Hey, Takeo, do me a favor when we're out." Tanjiro calls out to the boy, who was holding a hatchet. "Chop as much as wood as you can."

The boy looked at him annoyed. "Yea, I was already going to do that anyway." Takeo said before he looked away with a pout. "But I was kind of hoping we could do that together this time." He muttered under his breath, but everyone still heard him.

Tanjiro let go of Nyx's hand, so he could walk over to Takeo and pat his head. "There, there." 

Takeo freaked out at this and swatted Tanjiro's hand off his head as he blushed from embarrassment. "Hey knock it off!"
