12: Presence

"Tanjiro-kun!! Are you okay?!"

You dropped by the boy kneeling down on the ground, worry washing over your face. He looked up at you, and you pulled back a bit seeing the sad look on his face.

"W-what happened?"

He shook his head, giving you a smile, "I defeated him, but..." he looked back down to the spot where the demon last layed on, "I hope this boy's soul will rest in peace."

He stood up and clenched his fists, eyebrows furrowed in anger.

"I will find that person that did all of this, including my family! I will turn Nezuko back to a human again... just you wait!" He said with determination.

This made you smile, standing up to face him.

"Tanjiro-kun, you really are the best brother anyone could ever have." He yelped, blushing as he avoided your gaze.

"I-i-i-iie! I-I'm just doing what a sibling would really do for his family...!-" He stuttered. You giggled, patting his head which caused his face to become even more redder than it used to before.

"Right, right. Understood that. Shouldn't we get going now?" You changed the subject. He let out a mushroom sigh of relief, before nodding his head.

"Ah, chotto matte-! I'm just wondering where you headed earlier, (Y/n)-chan, you suddenly disappeared." He asked.

Your eyes widened, breath hitching.

"A-ah, well, y-you see I-" you looked at him, frowning as you couldn't tell what he was thinking of right now.

Kuso! What the hell do I say?!

A light bulb popped up beside your head, you had a bright idea of what to say.

"Well see, haha, when nature calls you just gotta go y'kno? Lots of more if its not just nature but with uh- other- solid....-"

Okay it wasn't very bright for that last part.

He blushed, sweatdropping.

"Y-you could've just said that nature called...-" you nervously chuckled, scratching the back of your head.

"Y-yeah-"

"Also, I have another thing to tell you."

What is it again..?!

The two of you started walking, you nervously fiddling with the yukata Urokodaki had bought you.

"Remember what I said about the demon that massacred my family?" He questioned and you nodded.

"Well... earlier, I think I felt his presence somewhere here, but, it was only for a split second. It could've been my imagination." He said.

Your eyes widened, causing you to think if it was the male stalker you had.

"I-i didn't really- feel anything... considering I was busy." Knowing well what that busy meant he just simply nodded and kept on walking forward.

Lips pursed, your mind was racing with new thoughts.

"Let's part ways for now, Tanjiro-kun. I'll meet you there."

You needed some time alone, and so you suggested that the two of you go different ways. You didn't have to worry about him, you knew he was capable of defending himself.

Sighing, face blank, you jumped up to a tree branch and sat there.

"Muzan Kibutsuji... Muzan Kibutsuji... who-" No, "what in the world are you?" You muttered.

His words echoed back into your head, still confused with what his deal was really about.

If ever, I accept the deal, if he tries anything funny I could easily kill him.

Thing is though, there's always something that's stopping you from doing so. Almost like he had a protective charm around him, making you almost paralyzed and dwelve in a dreamy state when with him.

"Eh?" Rain started pouring down, making the forest you're in even more hauntingly beautiful.

Quickly shaking your head, you crouched down on the branch.

"I can't let such things distract me... I came here for one reason-" grinning, you jumped down, "to hunt down demons."

As soon as you got down, a demon ran to you from the right side, enlarging your grin as your vectors shot out to slice it into pieces, including the head of course, and dispersing into thin air.

"Things are getting confusing for me..." two demons ran after you, "but I must say, these events happening right now sure are interesting." You licked your dry lips, turning around to the two demons.

Launching two vectors out, you grabbed them by the neck and threw them up in the air, followed by a quick slice in their necks.

You continued to run forward through the darkness, the rain letting your clothes cling tightly onto your skin, slowing you down.

Alright, seven days of not dying, let's do this!
