Male OC X Kimetsu No Yaiba / Demon Slayer

Healing

Yoru's POV

I watch Kyojuro intertwine his pinkie finger to mine before he falls asleep. "Sigh... looks like I need to recover like everyone else."

Honestly, I didn't expect Kyojuro to pin me down. It's my fault for not hiding these bandages carefully. Now I have to rest for more than three days! If I didn't, they will suspect me of having 'demon' abilities.

The creatures inside of me can be categorized as demonic beasts. If I count every one of them, I should have 12 in total. Beast Beneath The Blue Moon, Rashoumon, Shukaku, Matatabi, Isobu, Son Goku, Kokuou, Saiken, Choumei, Gyuuki, Kurama, and the one I haven't unlocked yet... Susanoo. Sigh... now I feel like I'm some sort of alternate version of Muzan.

Plus, knowing how clingy my brothers are, they probably won't leave me alone. Especially after I didn't return for three years straight. But I did send them letters every month. How?

I bribe my Kasugai crow with the best bird seeds in town and it forgave me and was finally willing to work for me again. That crow is still loud as usual. That's why it can't directly give messages to Oyakata-sama, worrying that his eardrums would hurt. Oyakata-sama has a weak body because of the disease he has. So, a Kakushi is needed as a medium to deliver the message.

Hmm... to heal this whirlpool bruise, I might need one month or less. By that time, the swordsmiths will come to deliver their swords. I might need to tag along to their first mission. Oyakata-sama once said to me to give the small missions to other Demon Slayers. But there are not many 'hard' missions so I'm mostly bored to death!

Yeah, I know where the heck is Upper Moon Six, Daki, and Gyutaro. But I just can't risk it. I'll get noticed by Muzan. The position of the Upper Moons hasn't changed for years. If I kill them, Muzan will hunt me down instantly. I don't want to reveal my abilities just yet.

So I train Kanae and Shinobu instead. I don't want them to be easily killed by Doma, the Upper Moon Two, so I had to. Their stamina is improving, which is good news. I also did several mock tests only using my strength and causes wind effects, which could blow them away if they didn't hang on onto the ground or trees. Doma uses ice-type Blood Demon Art so I use the winter seasons for their special training.

Oh, right. I almost forgot. Only Kyojuro saw this bruise. I can't let others see it too. Especially little Senjuro. I just can't stand seeing people close to me crying. It makes me sad.

I want to fix my loosened bandage but I can't do it single-handedly. Since I'm in Akutagawa mode, I activate my Rashoumon ability to manipulate my bandages so they would wrap themselves around my stomach area perfectly.

Sigh... I'm bored. Looks like I'll need to have a few words with Lord Lucky. I close my eyes and let the darkness consume me once more.

"Pardon me, Lord Lucky. But I need to tell you something."

The empty black void suddenly turns into a different scenery. The ground is shallow water and reflects the breathtaking night sky, filled with glittering stars. But the most noticeable is the scarlet red full moon, shining so brightly. I'm mesmerized by the view, then a sudden voice distracts my attention towards the sky. "Oh, you're back! That's fast. I thought that I said three days of rest. Is there something had happened to you?"

"Ah well... my twin, Kyojuro, saw my bruise. I only managed to heal 50% before he saw it. My chakra control is still unstable so it might overflow from me if I heal myself too fast. But... *Sigh* now that he knew, I might need more days to recover normally."

"Hmm? That's good for you though. You can spend time with your family! Moments of living are precious! Well... certain beings deserve painful death... but let's leave that topic for now. You're kinda lonely in your past life. Use this opportunity to compensate your past life's loneliness."
