Am I stuck or reincarnated? (KNY fanfic)

Chapter 20

Jeez you're still reading this 😂😂😂
Poggers and salute to you all for reading this.

Also, I know I'm a shit author because I haven't updated in so long.

You don't know how much I wish this book can just write itself so that I wouldn't be so drawn towards that discontinued thought or even thinking about finishing this.

ALSO MANGA SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!

"Go away!! I'm not handing my key over no matter what! AND I DEFINITELY AIN'T TEACHING YOU HOW TO USE IT!!"

Tanjiro paused and turned around, staring at the scene before gaping as he recognized who the pillar was before the tiny little boy, sidestepping behind one of the trees, he watched them.

'What's happening? Are they arguing?' He slightly panicked and looked around for (Y/n) for some help but realized she wasn't here with him.

'What now? Eavesdropping is bad, but if they're fighting I have to intervene!' Tanjiro suddenly paused and sucked in a deep breath as the mist pillar who is now identified as Tokito Muichirou raised his hand.

Tanjiro took a step forward and Muichirou brought his hand down onto the little boy's neck, a loud sound echoed through the forest and the boy fell to the ground, not giving him any moment to recover, the mist pillar bent down and picked the boy up by his collar.

Tanjiro raced out from behind the tree and raced through the branches and bushes, his haori flapped behind him due to the sudden movement as Tanjiro began shouting to gain the most pillars attention.

"HEYYYYY!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?"

Muichirou took no notice of Tanjiro as he continued to stare down at the struggling boy.

Tanjiro raced towards his side and grabbed his wrist. "Let him go!"

Muichiro tilted his head and his eyes shifted and gazed at the new welcomer. "Your voice... It's so annoying..." he muttered before starting him from head to toe.

"...Who are you?"

Tanjiro ignored his question and stepped forward slightly, "What're you doing to a kid..?!?" his face shifted as Muichiro took no notice of the struggling kid.

"Get your hand...Gh!" Tanjiro's muscles burned slightly as he realised Muichiro isn't even flinching when he used his strength to get his hand to let go of the boy's collar.

Muichiro'a face darkened and his eyes narrowed.

"You let go."

Wham.

Tanjiro toppled over at the sudden pain in his stomach and bent down, as he puked out whatever had to be let out.

"Blegh..."

Muichiro let go of the little boy and turned his body around to stare down at Tanjiro.

"You're weak. I have no idea how you got into the demon hunters..."

Muichiro tilted his head at the box on his back and hummed, up in the tree, (Y/n) crouched down and stared at her fellow pillar, ready to jump in if have to but as always, restraining herself because this is a part of Tanjiro growing up.

Taking in a deep breath, she sat back down on the truck and stared.

Muichiro lifted his hand and moved towards the box. "I sense alleging strange in that box, it feels like a demon... What's in there?"

Muichiro kneeled and reached out his hand, "Is that?-"

Whoosh
