Saving My Demon (Douma x Reader)

Chapter 27

Your eyes widened in surprise when you saw the demon held out her hands towards you as she closed her eyes. 'Fifth form: Thawing of a Frozen Heart.' you thought as you sliced the demon's head and gently landed on the ground.

Snow fell gently on the demon as she gazed at it. 'It's not agonizing. It doesn't hurt at all. Even if there's snow, I just feel warm.' the demon thought as she looked at you staring at him. 'Those eyes...such pretty yet kind....' the demon thought as tears fell from her eyes.

"There's a member of the Twelve Kizuki here. Be careful." the demon said as she disappeared.

You heard rustling sounds coming from your right as you prepared your blade. "(Y/N)-chan!" Douma exclaimed as he wrapped you in a hug. "We did it, Douma-kun!" you said as you returned the hug. "I hope the others are doing all right." you wondered as you felt Douma held you closer to him. "Someone's coming, it's not Tanjiro-san or the others." Douma muttered as you raised your guard.

"Show yourself. I know you're there." Douma called out.

A figure emerged from the trees as he stared at you and Douma with an emotionless expression. He has long black hair tied in a low ponytail and dark blue eyes. He wears a haori that's split down the middle into two different patterns: the right one a solid pink-red and the left one geometrically patterned with squares of green, orange, and yellow. He also wore the Demon Slayers uniform. "I'm not going to hurt you." The man stated.

"Black hair, dark blue eyes and a mismatched haori. You're Giyuu Tomioka!" you suddenly exclaimed making said man look at you in surprise. "You...... know me?" he asked. "Hai! Urokodaki-san and Tanjiro-kun told me a lot about you." you replied. "(H/L) (H/C) hair, (E/C) eyes, and a snowflake designed haori. You must be (Y/N) (L/N), and the Upper Moon with rainbow eyes beside you must be your lover, Douma." Tomioka said.

"Eh? How?" you asked with confusion. "Tanjiro told me to look for you two, make sure you're all right. Another Twelve Kizuki has been sighted here, that is why we were sent." Tomioka explained as he prepared his blade. 'We?' you thought as your eyes widened when you felt something coming for you and Douma.

Tomioka stood in front of you two and blocked the attack to protect you. You saw a girl with purple eyes and black to dark purple hair. She has a butterfly ornament on her hair as she also sport the demon slayer uniform.

"Why would you get in my way, Tomioka-san? After agreeing with me that we could never be friends with demons....How should I put this? That's exactly why no one likes you, you know?" The girl exclaimed.

Douma held you close to him while Tomioka has his arm held out, protecting you and Douma. "All right, Tomioka-san, move out of the way." the girl said as she pointed her blade at you three.

"I'm not.... I'm not disliked by people." Tomioka stated. You and Douma were stunned by what he said. "I'm sorry. You haven't even realized that people don't like you, then? That was uncalled for. Please forgive me." The girl replied. The statement somehow struck Tomioka while Douma was trying his best to not laugh. "Even if we just met, I'd like to be your friend, Tomioka-san." you whispered towards him.

"Little girl?" The girl called out to you. "Y-yes?" you replied. "What you're protecting there is a demon, a Twelve Kizuki to be exact. I don't want you to get hurt, so please move away." the girl informed. "You're mistaken! I mean, you're not mistaken, but... he's my lover!" you exclaimed as your hold on Douma tightened.

"Is that right? Poor thing. In that case, I shall use a gentle toxin to kill him, so he won't suffer, all right?" the girl replied. "Take your lover and run." Tomioka stated. "Tomioka-san..... sorry for the trouble. Thank you very much." you said as you and Douma took off.

You sensed someone coming from above as you and Douma dodged the attack. "I'm sorry." you heard them say. You saw a girl with long black hair and purple eyes.  She has two butterfly ornaments on each side of her head, much like the girl from earlier but the colors are different. "Run, Douma-kun! Don't get caught no matter what! I'll distract her." you exclaimed as Douma ran on ahead while you prepared to fight only to find the girl wasn't there, she was after Douma.

You chased after the girl as you ran around the forest. 'She's only after Douma-kun. I have to stop her.' you thought. You felt another presence about to attack as you took out your blade and dodged the attack. Your sword clashed with another sword as you looked to see the attacker.

"We meet again."

"Kokushibo!"
