The Way of the Demon Slayer

The First Demon Ch. 2

Izuku's POV

I was floating in a space of endless white. I had finally after hours of floating in peace I remembered that I had slit my throat. I never did believe in a god, heaven, or hell but now I'm not sure.

I looked to my left and saw nothing. I then turned to my right and saw a person. I jumped because they were next to me and found that I was now touching the ground. I began to reach for my sword but found that it wasn't there "Who are you!?" I asked and they laughed "I am you, and you are me, we are one and the same!" He said bringing his head up to reveal his dark green eyes that were so dark they reflected death.

The eyes were cat like in appearance and he was holding two objects. In his left was my Jade sword and in the right was a black sword that looked exactly the same. He tossed me my sword and I caught it easily "Now if you want to leave here you must kill me!" I was thrown off by what he said but he seemed to want me to look at him.

He had two horns protruding from his head. His nails were connected completely to his body so it appeared like he had spikes on his fingertips. He had a long tail made of blades that were connected like bones and we're swishing in the air. His teeth were sharp and pointy and it appeared that he could just rip through anything he bit.

I prepared to get ready and he did the same. I noticed that we were in the same exact fighting stance. He had a malicious grin on his face that screamed death. I jumped forward and went for a downwards slash. He blocked it and tried to thrust my rib cage. I kicked him but still received a slash to my side.

I looked at him and he was laughing "I haven't even used a Blood Demon Art and your already bleeding! I thought you were better than this Izuku, I THOUGHT YOU TRAINED TO BE THE BEST!!!!" I could easily tell he was trying to make me angry. I let everything he said go to waste and that seemed to piss him right off "GRRR!!!! PAY FUCKING ATTENTION SO I CAN KICK YOUR ASS!!!!" I sighed and looked up 'I wonder what your all doing?'.

People Outside This Weird Realm POV

Tanjiro was pacing in front of a bed. He kept taking glances at the sleeping Izuku and then at his sister "Are your sure you gave him the Demon Cure?" Nezuko nodded with a concerned look on her face. She removed her bamboo bit from her mouth and spoke "I know I gave it to him but... I don't know if his body will reject it. How did he slit his own throat?" She asked Tanjiro who sighed and began rubbing his nose "Apparently his Eleventh Kata in Breath of Water is still incomplete or unperfected and he slit his throat as a result." Nezuko nodded as four children entered the room.

Tanjiro turned and saw them, he gave them a weak smile "He's alright you four, Izuku just needs to rest." Inosuka walked over to Izuku and put her hand on his. She gave it a light squeeze and smiled. Inosuka bent down and whispered to Izuku "I know you'll be alright, after all you made the Dance of Shocking Water. I'll tell you a cooler name when you wake up... please... wake up." Inosuka began sobbing "Please... please... please! Wake up!" Tanjiro walked over and gently tapped her shoulder "Let him rest Inosuka, I'm positive he'll make it, Izuku had made it through so much hardship that this is like a small hill." Inosuka nodded but grabbed a stool and sat next to him "I'll be here when you wake up," she whispered as the scenery changed back to Izuku and Demon Izuku.

Izuku's POV

I was bleeding everywhere. I could feel nothing but pain as my arms fell to my sides. My body told me to stop but I couldn't, I had to win "Don't you see that the Demon you is much stronger? Can't you see I'm superior?! CAN'T YOU SEE THAT YOUR AN ANT COMPARED TO ME?!?!" Izuku looked at his demon self and sighed "Yes... You're physically better than me..." He laughed "So why don't you just give up? There's no poin-" I interrupted him pissing him off a bit "Your a demon version of me, have you forgotten your past? Do you not remember the Kamado's kindness to us? Or are you concerned that if you don't beat me you'll fade away?"
