Poor Boy [Tanjiro x Reader]

🌸 𝐶ℎ𝑎𝑝𝑡𝑒𝑟 14 🌸

Beads of sweat rolled down Kazumis forehead dripping off his pointed chin the young mans lanky body trembled uncontrollably from the weight of the situation, his dull brown eyes studied the face of the unconscious girl he was ridden with guilt, he watched with a face full of horror as the demon emerged from a dark swampy puddle "that's it give her here and you'll be reunited with your beloved," he carefully limped forward,

Shake arms cradling her firmly in his grasp tightly as he swallowed the lump in his throat the unnerving gaze of the demon shook him to his core, "now give me Satoko," he said he thrusted the girl into the arms of the demon, "of course," the demon purred menacingly his brittle lips turned into a sinister grin, Kazumi's  eyes widened in horror as a pile of bones floated to the surface of the dark murky waters,

The villager fell to his knees covering his mouth with his clammy hands he screamed into his palms tears sobbing uncontrollably, "Oh dear did you think I'd give her back to you alive?" The demon cooed comically a look of amusement on his sickly pale face, Kazumi started to hyperventilate a hand clenching his chest as he slumped over sobbing loudly,

Their eyes widened when a tall broad figure emerged from the water the shape of a sword could be made out in the moonlight, "Nezuko!" Koji called out his brows furrowed together in anger as he swung his blade trimming the demons locks, a loud thud could be heard the frail demonic girl kicked down the door to her box with ease,

The demon let out a disgruntled cry he was cornered like a rat caught in a trap his red bug-like eyes narrowed as the girl was snatched from his grasp swiftly, he watched the raven-haired boy through wide eyes his mouth agape he opened his mouth to call forward his companions but nothing came out, he felt the cold steel of a blade remove his head from his neck a look of disbelief on the demons,

"If you're looking for your friends I've already dealt with them," Koji said coldly as the demons head rolled down the dirt road of the back alley, the young grieving man pinned down the demons head beneath his foot he stared down at it with an enraged expression on his face holding a large rock above him in his tight grip  "this is for my Satoko" he cried out bludgeoning the demon,

Tears streamed down his beaten face as  he repeatedly hit the rock over the demons dismembered head, thin arms shaking as he grew tired his sloppy movements became slower and slower until he could no longer hold his arms up, he thrashed in the eldest of the trios arms as he was suddenly pulled back wailed crying like a banshee, "I got you, let it all out," Koji pulled him into a tight embrace letting the weeping boy sob into his shoulder, his tear stained face smeared in the demons blood,

"I'm sorry," he choked out between sobs in a broken voice clutching his uniform like a small child would hold on his mother, he violently shook in his warm embrace he gazed up at him through puffy red eyes wiping his runny nose with his sleeve, "I couldn't save Satoko and I almost handed an innocent girl right into a demons clutches," he said with a pained look,
