Chapter 7 - Fighting Alone

I arrive at the village, the sun is setting and people are still out, but some of them are starting to go into their homes to avoid trouble. I walk to all the people who're still outside, telling them to go inside because there was a demon nearby. They all listened.

☀︎

I patrolled the area, walking around and listening for any suspicious sounds nearby.

"AAAH-!"

A loud shriek came from around the corner, it sounded like a woman. I dash to where the shriek came from to see that owner of the scream, a woman and a demon about to jump at her. I jump in between them, the demon clashing with my dark blue and white Nichirin blade. "Get away from this place! Hurry!" I shout out as I push the demon away.  The lady does what I say and runs around the corner.

☀︎

"Damn you... I almost had her!" The demon shouts out, his words full of anger and frustration. I let out a playful smirk, almost laughing at what they said, "pfft- I'm sorry!" I mockingly say. The demon lunges at me and I jump out of the way, causing the demon to try lunge at me again. And again. And again.

"Why're you so fucking fast?!" The demon admits, trying to scratch me with it's long, black claws. I slash at it, and it dodges as well. It jumps at me again, I dodge and slash the demon's neck, it getting decapitated almost instantly. The demon starts disintegrating away.

"That was quite easy," I mumble under my breath as I start the long walk back to my estate, the Moon Estate.

☀︎

Time Skip - 3 Hours
I finally arrive at my estate, going inside and taking off my shoes. I lazily walk up the stairs and jump onto my bed. I lie there as the sounds of the trees swaying and the sounds of the birds chirping and singing a song fills my ears. My eyes flutter closed and I fall asleep.

"Y/N! Y/N! Look what I made!"
My little brother, (brother's name), shows me a long sharp stick, "it's a sword, Y/N! When I get older I want to be a demon slayer, like you!" He swings the stick around, I giggle at the sight. I pat him on the head, "you'll become one someday..."

Then, my vision turned red. Everything's red. There's something... under my feet. It's warm and it's red. Blood...? I look up and see my whole family, devoured. Crimson blood painted on the walls and the mangled corpses of my parents and siblings laying on the floor. "NOO!" I grab my hair, falling to the floor as the blood on the ground seeps into my clothing.

☀︎

I jolt up, sweating and panting. 'It was just a dream...' I thought as I flop back onto the bed. 'The last time I got that nightmare was 2 years ago... why is it coming back now?' I cover my face with my hand, releasing a sigh. I then turn my head, looking out the window and seeing that it's nighttime.

BANG! I jump out of shock and hop off the bed. 'What was that...?' I walk towards my bedroom door and slowly slide it open, looking left and right to see if the coast is clear. I cautiously step out and walk towards the room where my sword is, it's a few rooms down the hall. I slide it open, carefully to not make any noise. The sword is on the floor, it's sharp blade, snapped in half. 'What the hell... why is it broken?'

☀︎

"He...llo..."

A voice comes from behind me as I swiftly turn around and kick the owner of the voice away. 'A demon!' The demon jumps back up and runs towards me, ready to jump onto me. I dodge and run out of the room, down the hall. 'I can't kill it! My sword is snapped in half, I obviously don't have a spare nichirin blade anywhere in my estate.' I run down the halls in circles, the demon hot on my trail.

'I can't keep running like this. I'm obviously going to run out of stamina soon!' I continue running anyway, thinking of ideas how to kill this demon or just escape without letting this demon loose in the town. 'Eh..?' My socks cause me to slip, and I fall face first into the wooden floor. I roll over, and the demon jumps on me before I could jump up.

☀︎

"Finally... some good food. Your blood smells nice, you know?" The demon exclaims as I squirm under it's tight grasp.

Is this what my mom meant when I was younger? That my blood was special? That demons wanted me; my flesh, more than anyone else?

I try to kick and punch at the demon that was on top of me, but nothing works. A sharp pain grows in my stomach, I look down and see the demon's sharp claws stuck in. My marechi blood staining my clothing and making the demon's blood-stained water.

"ACK!" I let out a loud yelp as the demon pulls it's claw out. My vision behind to blur as tears prick the corner of my eyes. The demon stabs me again. And again, making me shout in pain. Tears stream down my cheeks as the demon licks its hand clean.

☀︎

"L/N!" Someone shouts from behind me and jumps at the demon, slashing it's head off and it's head and body disintegrates in front of me.

"T... T-Tomioka...San...?"

Tomioka-San rushes to my side and glances at my deep stab wounds. "Hold on, ok? We're gonna help you, it's ok," he whispers in a reassuring tone.

"Tanjiro! Help me get L/N to the Butterfly estate!"

'The Butterfly estate... again... I just healed up and now I'm injured again...? I sure am weak.'

Everything becomes a blur and the noises around me begin to fade away. My eyes threaten to flutter shut, I try to fight it back but I give up and let them close.
