New Hope: Yoriichi One-Shot (Part I)

-----

(A/N): Contains some visually gory stuff because of some medical process. Read at your own risk.

"Shit...shit... shit." Yoriichi ran through the path towards his home that he shares with his wife Uta.

He took so much time helping others that he lost track of time instead of looking for a mid-wife to assist his wife to give birth. The smell of iron of both blood of demon and human, he can smell it.

"Uta!" The sight he saw was not what he expect to see. Another demon slayer is cradling the body of his dead wife.

"Yoriichi-dono! Uta-san!"

Yoriichi just approached his wife carefully, and cradled him on his arms.

"Yoriichi-dono! If you'll permit I wanted to do something! There's still a chance!"

"(L/N)..."

You approached the still warm but pulseless body of his wife. "Uta-san is dead, but your baby still has a faint heartbeat." And neared her ears on the woman's belly. "I know it's not what is medically done to humans but if I cut her open I can still save the baby."

He only stared at the woman barking words at him and back to his dead wife. Usually he can decide in a heartbeat in terms of demon fighting but what she's saying to him is something he can't possibly believe. He only ever heard of that procedure done to animals.

"YORIICHI PLEASE!!! I want to save my best friend!"

A resounding slap was heard in the otherwise dead silent household. The man was pulled out of his senses as he sees the sun rise once again.

He looked at the woman's eyes and put all his trust on her. "Do the best that you can, please."

"HAI!!!"

Yoriichi hurried to prepare clean sheets of blankets, and boiled lots of water as instructed. (Y/N) sterilized the small scalpel she had with her as she brings it with her all the time as a medic demon slayer.

"Hang in there, baby..." You glided your finger on the natural mark on her belly and with a firm push, cut through it. After putting the organs on the nearby blanket and slicing though other muscles, you finally found the womb. You sighed as you can still feel a faint heartbeat. But you hurried and cut through it and pulled out the baby that is still inside the placenta.

"YORIICHI! I NEED THE GODDAMN HOT WATER!!!"

"HAI!"

You heard him fumbling around the kitchen as you proceed to open the placenta, water gushed out when you did but you didn't care less. You have a life to save. You immediately carried the baby and listened for any pattern of pulse or breathing.

The baby was blue, so blue that you wanted to just die in that spot. You best friend is dead. You practically killed her twice trying to save her child but here you are in this situation. Sucking in your tears, you prevented a breakdown and proceed to do a resuscitation process.

You pricked the tip of the baby's finger and gave its back series of good rubs and gentle slaps. When that didn't you grabbed gauze from your medical bag and put it top of the baby's mouth and nose and blew on it, trying to push in some air, followed by gentle pumps on the chest.

"I-It's a boy..." Yoriichi looked at his wife's opened body and his baby on the arms of (Y/N). She desperately repeats the process. Rub and slap the back of the child, blow on its face and nose, then pump the chest.

"Yoriichi please tell me I can do it... please..." (Y/N) was huffing as stress, exhaustion, and pressure are starting to get the worst out of her. No color or cries could be heard from the child.

"(L/N)..."

You proceed to wail and scream out of frustration and hugged the child closer to your chest.

Yoriichi was also crying silently at this point as his hand reached out to touch the baby boy's head. "My son..."

A short and sharp cry sliced through the painful sounds of your cries. You slightly pulled away the child from your chest as you saw it open its mouth, releasing short and silent cries. It was a weak cry but it's more than enough for you and his father. The child's color started to change to a better and prettier color of pink.

"L-Look! Yoriichi-dono! He made it!" You smiled at the man as he did smiled to you as well. "He's a fighter!"

You immediately opened the top part of your uniform, slightly confusing the man beside you. "This might be new to you but we need to keep his temperature stable, please give me a warm clean towel." And you leaned the baby on your bare chest, clothed by some strips of cloth. "You can carry him after his temperature stabilizes and after I cleaned him."

___

Yoriichi did everything he was told and also sent out his crow to ask for some assistance. "Yoriichi-dono! You can now carry the baby!""

The said man dashed towards you and knelt down to look down at his sleeping child. (Y/N) gently cradled the child once again before passing the child to his father. "Please give him enough warmth while I clean up Uta-san."

After to put back all the organs and stitched your best friend close, is the only time you realized everything that happened. Your body felt all the weight it haven't felt a while ago as you only managed to lay down on the floor, with mixtures of different fluids.

"(L/N)-san! Are you okay?!" The man said in panic as he child on his arms cried.

"Just...I'm okay. I just need to absorb everything that happened. Also speak in a mellow voice. It's so hard to make an infant stop crying. Also don't bury my best friend without me seeing it myself, I am gonna kill...you..."

And you lost consciousness.
