Tanjiro Kamado x Fem!reader

Part 16

Nezuko tried wriggling out, but it only caused her to bleed more like in the picture above. The threads tightened around her limbs, having her give up in trying to escape. You noticed Tanjiro's eyes started to water, so you placed your hand on his shoulder, comforting him. You whispered something in his ear.

"Don't worry, Tanjirou. I'll nail this. I'm going to try my best on it, got that?" He nodded, having Faith in you.

You placed your hand on your sword, changing your position. You did this while Tanjiro kept an eye on both Asuno and Nezuko, making sure that they were safe. You don't know how you remembered, but you decided to pull off something you learned from the paper's that Hiroto wrote.

"Star breathing, 11th form..

Seizing Starbeam!"

The toxin from this form looked like it was working, as Rui grabbed his stomach in panic. You jumped from a tree, aiming for his neck. He then stopped, immediately grabbing your arm and throwing you at the ground. He walked over with a sinister grin on his face, looking down at you. Was he pretending?!

"Why, aren't you a cleverly cute girl.. master Muzan would love to work with you.. even better, you can think twice about joining my family, shall we?" You felt like giving up. You remembered everything you had done on your journey, Such as seeing your brother dead, training as hard as you could, you and Asuno protecting eachother, Tanjiro saving you before final selection, meeting Zenitsu afterwards, then Inosuke.. and finally.. developing your feelings for Tanjiro. You loved him so much, you didn't want to die. But at the same time, you felt incredibly weak, it was like you had no worthy of living at this point. You also had to protect your sister Asuno, she wouldn't be safe alone all by herself.. you then heard a voice in your head. It sounded like.. Hiroto?

"(Y/n).. (y/n)... please, listen. Don't give up. Save Asuno. Save Tanjiro. Keep them safe, please.. don't pathetically die like I did.. you have so much ahead of you that you don't even realize it. You need to be there for Asuno. You're her only hope left, please put the power you have to good use.."

You were shocked, but then acknowledged what he said. Your eyes started to water, getting up with the last bit of power you had left in you.

"Bastard.. who.. who do you think you are?! Just WHO?!" You stood up on your feet, stabbing your sword right through his stomach. You rapidly pulled it out, the blood sticking to your sword. He didn't do anything but laugh at you.

"Haha.. you really are pathetic, aren't you?" His wound healed instantly after he touched it.. what?! How was this fair?!

He grabbed your hand, pulling your face closer to his. You tried to let go, but he only cut you in return to get you to stop. You didn't want this. You wanted him to let go, but it was no use..

Tanjiro saw everything that was happening, and charged at Rui. He couldn't do much because Rui cut off the top of his sword.. oh no.

"YOU.. LET GO OF HER!!" He went from behind, but this time it was fire gliding along his sword, and not water. The same dragon was going along with it, which took you by surprise.

Rui then let go of you, Tanjiro pulsing his sword on Rui's chest. You then saw Nezuko use her blood demon art... did she just talk? That's the first time you've heard her say anything, anyway. Her hand turned an orange-red, with the threads turning a bloody scarlet color. She burned the threads, then releasing her.

You looked up to see Tanjiro spinning his sword around both him and Rui. Did he just... cut his neck off? You, Tanjiro, Asuno and Nezuko started to get your hopes up until Rui walked his body over to his head and placed it back on.

"Such fools.. I took my head off before you cut through it to trick you gullible children. How sorrowful.." Rui stood there, still thinking he could win you over. Little did he know, he thought wrong.
