「 My only 'friend' - Giyuu x Reader 」

4 ~ Last chance (F.S part 2)

_battle skit_

Y/n and Giyuu were teaming up together, slaying this demon. Hideous as he was, y/n always feels sympathy for the demons. Knowing they were all once humans, like her.

Giyuu: HEY y/n!
Y/n: hmm?!
Giyuu: where's Makomo?
Makomo: I'm over here! Behind the trees!
Giyuu: don't lose sight of each other! Even if you're fighting! That's what Sabito said!
Sabito: damn right giyuu! Sorry I got carried away a little, some guys needed help over there.

Sabito points over to a group of boys
Boys: thanks! We owe you!
Sabito smiling: no need!

_end of battle skit_ (no one's pov)

It was the last night, at this rate the all the students who entered the selection have survived, thanks to Sabito.

There weren't many demons left, and as soon as everyone decided to take a break, a fat, oozing sludge appeared from the shadows.

The red orbs stared at the four of us,
Demon: ah...more students of Urokodaki I see? I know those masks. Supposedly to 'protECT' you...fools

Sabito flinched, the rest of us follow suit. Our comrades started to run away from the giant demon. Us four, never backing down from a fight.

Y/n: HOW DO YOU KNOW UROKODAKI SENSEI?
demon: how do I know him you ask? HE WAS THE ONE WHO PUT ME IN THIS WRETCHED PLACE! WITH ALL THESE HORRIBLE WISTERIA

(The same demon Tanjiro defeated in the anime)

Sabito: don't hold back! Attack now!

Without hesitation, the four fighters jumped in sync, giving a blow towards the demon. Aiming for its head, the demon dodges and sacrifices his arm, yet regrows another one quickly. The four swordsmen/women take a defensive stance around the demon and attempt another synchronised blow.

The demon cackles "I'll get rid of those hideous masks for ya!" As he simultaneously slices all four of their masks. Giyuu and y/n take a moment to breathe, but Sabito and Makomo don't hold back, and go straight for the head.

The demon grabs both of their necks in mid-flight and dangles them in the air.
Y/n: SABITO! MAKOMO!

Giyuu: I'll go up from behind you distract him
Y/n: right

Giyuu runs off into the forest, venturing around, hidden within the trees while y/n is left behind.

Demon: running away already? You should find more loyal comrades! Cowards like him will only fend off your bravery.

Makomo: Giyuu would never leave us!
Sabito: y/n! Quick dodge!

Y/n swiftly dodges a swing from the demon. While the demon was distracted, Giyuu takes a chance to take a blow at the arm currently restraining Sabito.

As he gets closer towards the arm in mid-air, the demon swings his arm smacking Giyuu back, releasing Sabito. Makomo however was on the brink of suffocation. Y/n started to panic and stared into the demon's empty eyes. They were full of hatred, and suffering. The demons rage only fed its will to survive.

Y/k's POV:
I stand there. Stranded. Separated from the others. I look to the left and see Makomo, her eyes closed, concentrating. I want to move, I want to aid her, but my legs won't move. My sense of smell almost matches Giyuu's. The stench coming from this demon however, was nothing I had experienced before. It was revolting, worse than puke and someone taking a dump together.
Yet at the same time it was powerful, and in pain. I almost felt pity for the thing.

I felt cold. A deep sense of worry overwhelmed me. Something about this demon made me feel uneasy.
I was frozen.

Sabito's POV:
A bead of sweat ran down my face as I stood behind the demon with Giyuu. Giyuu must have noticed something wrong with y/n because he quickly sprinted to her side.
