The Traveling Musician (Kny X Reader)

Chapter 4

As Tanjiro went to get the bamboo to make the basket Nezuko was sleeping. When the sun rose she woke up and grunted at the sun. She moved farther into the cave and started to create a hole. To calm her down I hum a small song.

After a while, Tanjiro comes back to see me sitting there fiddling with a fan and no sign on Nezuko.

Tanjiro POV

"Where is Nezuko?" (y/n) points to the hole behind her as Nexuko's head peaks out.

"Is my sister a mole?"

I get closer to the hole and bring the basket in front of her.

"Ok, Nezuko I need you to get into the basket. Come on. Ohh, can you shrink? Shrink."

I see Nezuko slowly stand up and walk towards the basket while slowly shrinking into the body of a small child. Once she is in her head pops out and I pat her head.

"Good job Nezuko!"

I turn to (y/n) and see that she is still fiddling with a fan. "Are you ready to go?"

She turns to me and says "yes."

We leave the cave, and I put Nezuko on my back with a blanket over to make sure the sun will not go in. As we walk, I have been wanting to ask (y/n) a question but it sounds weird.

"What do you want to ask me Tanjiro?"

"A-a h-how did you know I wanted to ask you something?"

"Your face shows confusion."

"A-ah, well if you don't mind why can't I smell any emotions coming from you. In fact, I can only smell the scent of fruit and something sweet."

"Ara~Ara~that was an interesting question, but I don't know why you can't smell any emotion from me. I am smiling, aren't I? You seem to have a keen sense of smell."

"A-ah sorry. Also, why do you keep fiddling with that fan?"

"It isn't a normal fan. "I play with the fan by throwing it up in the air and spinning it around. I face the side that normally faces towards me and says," it is a weapon." (image above but imagine that there is a small dagger on the sides along with the sharp part on top). It is a weapon in disguise.

"Sugoi! Sugoi! Why do you have that, though?"

"As a traveler and as a girl for safety."

[Truthfully I can feel emotions, but I haven't felt anything in a while. I normally work on autopilot and wait for anything interesting to fall on my path. Something about being with this boy makes me feel happy, I wonder why.]

Your POV

As we were walking through the forest, I felt the presence of a weak demon but ignored it. Apparently, Tanjiro had a different idea so when he smelled blood he ran to the place the demon was. He is too naive. I run after him trying to stop him from opening the door, but I am too late. Ugh, now I have to kill him. Let's see what will happen. I wait next to the door and see Nezuko trying to retaliate against her hunger.

"What are you doing in my territory? Oh, you are a human."

I see the demon launch himself at Tanjiro and tackle him to the ground. After Tanjiro struggles against the demon Nezuko snaps out of her trance and kicks the demon's head off. Tanjiro seems a little disturbed that there is a headless body on top of him so he kicks it off. The demon's body tries to grab Tanjiro and Nezuko kicks the body away. When Tanjjiro sees Nezuko wrestling with the body of the demon, he tries to help her by swinging his hatchet. The head of the demon jumps towards him while biting the hatchet. Nezuko gets thrown by the demon's body. I can see Tanjiro visibly getting mad and then does the most unexpected thing. He headbutts the head! Then he throws the head attached to the hatchet at the tree to keep it there so he can help Nezuko. He starts to run towards Nezuko, so I follow him. I see that he is about to jump off a cliff, so I speed up and kick the demon off while grabbing Tanjiro's haori to brink him back onto land.
