JJK x KNY: The Spider Lily's Curse

A Fragment of Memory

Nyx sits in the room with the lady demon that helped her and her brother, who introduced herself as Tamayo and the mint haired boy as Yushiro. The mint haired demon went to go get her brother, after he had left to get Nezuko.

Tamayo had come back upstairs from the basement after dealing with the man that had turned, while Nyx was patching up the wife. "How is this possible?" She mused aloud, approaching the scene.

Nyx looks up as she approaches, confusion etched across her face. "What is it?" She asked as the Tamayo finally got up to her an got on her knees in front of her.

She looked her body over, confused and shocked at how well Nyx was able to handle herself around blood. "But you are a demon." She mused aloud and Nyx felt the cursed energy wrap around her soul and seethe with angry and jealously.

Nyx frowned as she kept patching up the woman. "People say that, but I don't think I am." She said as she looked back at Tamayo. "I mean, I don't burn in the sunlight as you demons do, and I don't crave human flesh."

Tamayo looked at Nyx shocked by this. "Maybe...the stories were wrong." She mused aloud and Nyx looked at her confused.

"What stories?" She asked confusion laced in her voice.

"The stories about Muzan's wife." Tamayo said and Nyx looked at her shocked. "It was said that back in the Heian period, Muzan's first demon he created, was a young woman with long snowy white hair and very light blue eyes. She also had these strange demon markings, much like yours." She said as she pointed to the markings on Nyx's skin.

Nyx glanced down at the markings on her skin, and just the thought of people assuming Muzan gave them to her...pissed her off. She also felt the cursed energy wrap around her soul, she could feel it's jealously rise just at the thought of people assuming she is Muzan's wife.

"But I heard the story, and something never made sense to me." Tamayo said and Nyx looked at her confused. "When the demon slayers found her, by that point, demons were already around. Sure, they were a few, since Muzan was still new to the power, but this "queen" seemed pretty strong and well known already, as if she's been around for years." She explained and Nyx nodded her head.

"Also, they say when she told her king that she would meet him in her next life, the Imagine she made...was of a beast with four arms." Tamayo said and Nyx's eyes widened in shock, as that was the shadow figure she normally would see in her dreams. Suddenly there was a knock at the door, and they turned to look at it. "Come in." Tamayo said and the door opened Yushiro stepped inside.

"I have returned, my lady." He said and Tamayo smiled at him.

"Glad you could make it." She said as Tanjiro and Nezuko walked inside to see her and Nyx sitting by the hurt woman.

"I am sorry I left everything for you to take care of." Tanjiro said as he bowed his head, feeling guilty for leaving his mess to his sister and these strangers to pick up and take care of. "How is she doing?"

"She will make a full recovery." Nyx said as she finished patching up the sleeping woman.

"But her husband has to be locked up. He is restrained in the basement." Tamayo said and Tanjiro looked at her confused.

"Isn't it difficult treating humans with all of that blood?" He blurted out and Nyx looked at him shocked.

But before she could do or say anything, Yushiro punched Tanjiro in the chest. "Is that what you think!? She chokes on her own spit when she treats humans!? Cause demons can't control themselves!?" He shouted at Tanjiro anger laced in his voice.

Tanjiro gasped in some much-needed air as he held his chest. "No, it's not that at all!" He shouted.

Nyx sighed as she got up and walked over to her brother. She held out her hand and helped him up. "Brother, I can control myself around blood, so why did you act so shocked about them doing it?" She blankly asked and Tanjiro sighed.
