[DISCONTINUED] The Art of Destruction || A Kimetsu No Yaiba x (F)Reader Story

Chapter 21

Previously!

You felt something tighten around your frame as your ears rung loudly. You moaned with agitation from the feeling as you could hear subtle popping coming from ahead of you. 

--Opening your eyes fully, to be met with black splotches all over your vision before quickly disappearing, the hairs on your neck rose as your body became tense. What you saw right in front of you was the demons jaw opening larger and larger. It's pink tongue and vast rows of teeth horrifying you. There was only one thing that you could think of,

'OHWHATTHEFUCK?!'

On to Chapter 21!

With hot blood now pumping throughout your body, you desperately tried to grab your sword as the demon continued to grow it's mouth. 'Come on! Come on!' You yelled within your mind as your constricted arm tried to grab the hilt of your sword. Your pupils looked down, trying to see where the sword was. But it was to no avail, the demons large hand covered up too much of your view. Continuing to try nonetheless, you focused more on grabbing your sword rather than on the demon.

A low growl came from the demons mouth which made your pupils look back up. The demons mouth had grown to more than three times the size of your head and had rows of serrated teeth lining the inside of it's mouth. "Oh fuck..." you whispered under your breathe. The demon jerked it's head forwards as you shut your eyes for impact. 

But instead of being met with a painful jab to your neck or even being suffocated, you felt your body drop, literally. You were falling. With your eyes flying open, you saw a figure flying right over your body as you fell, the demons sliced hand still surrounding you. Once you hit the floor, you felt your neck get jerked back, irritating it incredibly. Hissing lightly, you quickly began to push off the demons fingers from around your frame, trying hard to ignore the pain that was burning on the back of your neck. 

Once out of the demons large hand and watching it disintegrate, you took out your sword and readied yourself, now brimming with new confidence. The demon growled with irritation once it realized that it's prey had escaped from it's grasp. It turned it's monstrosity of a mouth towards you, which sent shivers all throughout your body. "Oh geez..." you whispered with intimidation, your new feeling of confidence slowly dissipating. You shook your head to get yourself back into the moment, 'It doesn't matter what it looks like, the objective will always be the same; slice that head off!' With the initiative now clearer than daylight, you set your feet to a launching position, never noticing how the smoke, ash-resembling cloud that surrounded you dissipated fully. Tanjiro merely watched with wide eyes, hoping that you were able to hold yourself up against the demon.

You jumped up into the air and prepared to complete a clean form, but you quickly realized that your opportunity to do so was quickly disposed of. With your breathe hitching, you saw the demon open it's gaping mouth to your flying position, waiting for you to just fall into it's greedy jaw. 'Oh shit!' Contorting your body mid-air, which resulted in a stinging feeling in your back, 'Breath of Destruction, Seventh form! Crushing Waves of the Sea!' With a clean strike, you were able to successfully slice off the demons upper part of her head. Landing with a small slide, you turned your body to continue facing the demon, knowing fully that the fight had not ended just yet.

As you watched, you felt a presence standing right next to you. Looking briefly to the side, you could see Nezuko's pink kimono and enraged eyes. You were a little surprised since you thought that she was still sleeping in Tanjiro's small box that he carried, but you were glad nonetheless since she would be helpful in this fight. A cry of anger took your attention quickly though. Turning with haste, you could see the rest of the snake-demons upper part of her head regrow exponentially as her arm regenerated at the same rate. Turning her body in the direction of you and Nezuko as her hair grew out, "You should've been dead asleep this entire time you troublesome child!" She screamed with an enraged finger she pointed towards you. With grinding teeth, "So close was I to biting off your stinking head and having a new toy! What the heck!" Her voice slowly began resembling a small child, 'The hell?' You stood there with confusion, your limbs beginning to loosen. The demon had a full-on tantrum about this situation. With an enraged groan and shrinking pupils, she shrieked, "Get her already!"
