She Bleeds Under the Stars (Demon Slayer X Reader)

(Demon Slayer X Reader)

The sound of bells became louder for a moment before stopping. They rang out again in beat. I turned my head and could faintly see the light of a fire beaming through the barrier trees.

I slowly stood and looked around the area I was in. I saw nothing but trees for yards. I felt fear prickle in my mind. Where was I?

I deliberately shuffled through the snow and made my way towards the light of the fire. Fire was safety and I felt it was best to hurry to the glow.

I broke the tree line to find a man dressed in red clothes dancing in the middle of a circle of standing torches. I watched as each turn and thrust of his dance caused bells to chime and sing out. I slowed to a stop and stared at the man. His face was hidden behind a long blindfold with lettering on the front. Although I couldn't see his face I could hear him inhale a deep breath just before he started a new round of twist and momentum.

"Tanjuro!" A woman's voice called out to the man and he stopped all movement of his body with a loud ring.

I shook as he stilled. The sun turned the sky a pale purple as it began to rise. I was in awe as it seemed that the man was outlined in the glow of the sun as it peeked over the mountains in the distance.
