Hii! I just want to say thank you so much for 100 reads🥺✨ and also this book doesn't contain any manga spoilers! Some parts are made up by me so don't think that I took them from the manga

——
Some of them already.. died?! You looked around to see someone about your age on the ground, with scars all over her body. You ran over to discover that she was a part of the corps.

"I tried.. to.. save them, but.." she talked in portions, trying to breathe. "She.. she's too.. strong.." She then reached her hand out, hoping for some help. You picked her up and set her by a tree, bandaging her up. "This should heal your wounds." You had also noticed that the woman seemed to be very frail and skinny, no energy at all.

"Hey miss, are you hungry..? Your condition doesn't seem very healthy." You questioned her, and she was getting ready to say something.

"To be honest.. I really am.. I haven't eaten for days, and my body feels very weak. ..please help me." You felt sorry for her, so you gave her some of your food. "I'm sorry. Wait here for me, okay?" Before you left, you got a glimpse of her eyes. They were all.. black?- you then looked at her uniform, and noticed that some things were different from the original. "Wait, then.. she has to be a fake. She has to." You thought.

You went back up to her, feeling a bit suspicious. You lifted her head to notice that her face was extremely pale, practically white. Her entire eye was black, topping it off with the black hair. She noticed that you saw her face, and creepily smiled. "You helping me has only made me stronger, little girl.. you fool!" she tried grappling onto your arm, but then missed.
"I knew something was wrong!" You thought, regretting even trusting her.
"You demon slayers are nothing but parasites! I used to be a demon slayer once, but you guys got rid of me because I became a demon! What a hell!" Her hands turned red, leaving off a toxic smell. You in hailed it by accident, making you feel weaker. "How does it feel?! HOW DOES IT FEEL?! TO BE HUMAN?! IT MUST BE SO GOOD, BEING ABLE TO ENJOY SUNLIGHT AND FIT IN WITH A CROWD." Her nails then grew longer, slashing your face leaving a scar. You gave her a sad smile that pissed her off.

"Y'know.. I met someone very important to me." You said, informing her. "He has a little sister that became a demon, but he protected her no matter what. Even if he had a chance of being charged for it, he didn't care. She obeyed humans, fighting by our side. And this is why I want to prove that.. not all demons are bad." You decided to spare her, reaching your hand out. "Maybe, just maybe.. we can be friends." She looked like she thought about it for a bit, with the expression of both pity and anger. After a while, she had made the decision that..

"Why would I take in somebody who is apart of a cooperation who betrayed me.." she slapped your hand away, trying to land a hit on you. Unfortunately she missed, leaving her on the ground. There was nothing you could do at this point, so..

"I'm sorry, but I guess this has to be done."

"Star breathing, 4th form..

Painless planet!"

This form left her numb, not being able to feel anything. Like I said before, you usually only used this form on demons you had sympathy for because it left them to die painless. "This won't hurt you one bit." You smiled at her, going for her neck. She seemed like she had given up at this point, so she stopped trying. You slashed your sword through her neck, half of you feeling guilty. She had such a terrible life, poor girl..

You watched her body and head perish, looking back at her. "I wish you the best." You bow down to her, leaving tears in her eyes.

You go back to find Asuno, but she's nowhere to be seen. "T-Tanjiro, do you know where Asuno went..?" He turned to you. "She followed Zenitsu. I think they went to go rescue the children who are still conscious. Why don't we go inside the house..? There's probably somebody in trouble.." he had said, with a determined look on his face. "Oh- sure!"

You guys walked into the house, trying to avoid the flames. You walk in to see a toddler and his mother, cuddled up.

"Excuse me, are you alright?!-" you knelt down, burning part of your kneecap. You carefully picked up the child, while Tanjiro walked his mother out.

By the time you got out, you pulled out some bandages and wrapped one on the boys arm, all over where he had gotten injured. Unfortunately that was your last one, so you couldn't heal yourself. By the time you were finished, you immediately collapsed. It was so hard to walk without healing items, it hurt so bad. The mother and her child immediately got out seeking safety, while you were in terrible pain. You decided to rest where you were for a bit, and fell asleep.

Tanjirou POV

I was looking everywhere for (y/n), but I couldn't find her. "She could be in terrible pain.." I thought, worrying. I was just with her, but we kinda got separated because we had to go separate ways in order to get the mother and her child out. Zenitsu and (y/n)'s little sister came back, while Inosuke had just finished off fighting a demon. I went in circles looking for (y/n), until I found her on the ground with her leg bleeding. "Oh no- this is bad.." I thought again. I picked her up bridal-style, seeking a safe place to cool her down. I found shelter under a Sakura tree, and sat down with her on my lap.

"This should do the trick.." I noticed she dropped some of her bandages back at the place we stayed at, so I kept them just incase. I wrapped it around her wound on her leg, which stopped the bleeding. I examined her facial features for a bit, seeing how beautiful she was. Her hair was a beautiful (H/c), and her skin was elegantly smooth. I moved her bangs out of the way to see a couple of scars. They seemed new, probably from fighting a demon. Huh.

I had to admit, I did like (y/n) a lot. She was nice and kind, beautiful, and so caring to everyone, even her little sister. What a petite figure she was. It seemed like she wasn't gonna wake up for a couple of minutes, so I laid her in my lap, having her head rest against mine.
