A Long History (Undertaker x Reader)

3. Demon Attack

Adrian stands with his scythe ready, and sure enough, three people come out from behind the building. People is the wrong word...

You see the glint of red from their eyes, their sharp teeth, and you growl, "Demons."

Both of you have your scythes out and ready to fight. One of them hisses and says to you distastefully, "Shinigami."

 "(Y/N), stay behind me," Adrian says, stepping protectively in front of you. You narrow your eyes in anger and push past him. 

"I don't think so," you say angrily. "I'm not a little child who needs protected. I can fight. I'm just not as skilled or strong as you or my sisters."

He reluctantly lets you step up, know you'd do it whether he blocked you or not. The demons aren't there because of any coincidence. One grins and says, "You're the shinigami 'power couple' are you not? The 'unbeatable team,' or so they say?"

"Power-" Adrian says, a confused expression creeping onto both of your faces. You finish what he was saying. "-couple?"

"Wow, they're stupid, too," an blonde man says, and with blinding speed, lunges towards you. You block with your scythe, and the dull blade he is holding grazes your shoulder. 

He smirks, and his eyes widen in surprise after a few seconds and stammers, "Ho-How are you still standing? No shinigami should have been able to survive even a scratch with that poison." 

You whirl around, and sink your scythe into his body. 

"Show me your cinematic record," you whisper quiet enough nobody can hear you, causing the attacking demons to jump as they are startled by the cinematic record reeling out of the demon that attacked you. You feel a throbbing pain in your shoulder, then it begins to feel more like a burning sensation.

'Poison... doesn't affect demons, but can be lethal to shinigami. I'll survive the little bit that is in my blood.'

You resume fighting, positive the demon is dead after you beheaded it after the record finished playing. Adrian has already cut down one of the two remaining demons, and the last one, the only woman in the group of them. She has a dagger identical to the one that attacked you had. You attack her from the other side, catching her off guard. She stumbles and slashes at Adrian's stomach, tearing through his shirt and a little skin just before being killed by his death scythe.

Your eyes widen in panic, and after he puts his death scythe away, you grab him by the collar, and untuck and unbutton his shirt. He is taken aback, especially when you put your mouth to the open wound and suck blood out. Luckily, it was a shallow cut with little poison in it. You spit out a mouthful of blood and do it over and over, until the blood you taste no longer has the poison in it.

When you back away, he is looking at you strangely and his face is flushed. "Wh-What the hell was that?!"

You wipe the blood from around your mouth, and say, "Hell hound venom. Extremely poisonous to shinigami, but has no harmful affects on demons. I had to get it out of your blood before it had a chance to spread."

"W-Wait, what? How did I get hell hound venom... hell hounds have venom?"

"Yeah. In their saliva," you wince as you move your shoulder. He doesn't notice your reaction to moving your shoulder as he is buttoning and tucking his shirt. "The three blades were coated in them."

"How do you know that all the blades..." He trails off what he is saying as he notices the scrape on your shoulder, and gets a concerned look on his face. You adjust your shirt and say, "It's just a scratch. It won't harm me the same way it would harm you. And I apologize if my behavior was inappropriate, but I didn't want to lose the one person I consider a friend to some stupid scrape."
