"Kyoshi! Terruco!" You shouted their names as well as Tanjiro running along side you.
"Are you guys here? Answer me!" Tanjiro yelled. You both found the familiar door and rushed over. Tanjiro came to the door and opened it. "Are you guys okay?!" He asked frantically. Then, a large object flew past you. You dodged your head to one side, then another flew by too. A book flew by and landed on Tanjiro's head. He stumbled back a bit and held his head.
"What was that for?!" He yelled looking back at the two kids holding objects in their hands. They looked at the both of you for a moment and scrunched their faces in a way that seemed to read 'oops'.
"W-We're sorry Tanjiro, Y/N. We just thought that you were the demons."
You reluctantly walked over to the two kids and wore a warm grin.
"It's alright. At least you were protecting yourselves. Come, I think we can go now." You turned around to look at Tanjiro who nodded his head.
"Okay, lets go."
┌───͙⊱••✩••̩̩͙⊰•───┐
"Hey umm... Tanjiro?" You asked as you turned your head to look at him.
"Is your head okay?" You asked, reaching a hand out to touch his cheek and move his head over to face you so you could look to see if he had any severe injuries. He felt his body tense up at your touch. It made his heart melt. Your hands were so soft, and so warm. He could feel his cheeks heating up under your hand. How could someone as gorgeous and perfect as you have met someone like him?
"M-M-My h-head is f-fine. W-What about you? You were... p-pretty hurt as well." He said while trying to look away but at the same time look you over too. You felt a blush creep up your cheeks. You cleared your throat before speaking.
"I'm alright."
You looked forward trying to keep from looking at him and found the exit. You sighed with relief and you were sure the others did too. As you opened the doors and looked out, your eyes widened in shock.
"RAAAAAAH! MOVE YOU SPINELESS COWARD! DRAW YOUR SWORD AND FACE ME!"
You looked and saw the blonde haired boy, Zentisu, fallen over and clutching the box that Tanjiro had for dear life. The man had a boar head who and was half naked and kicking Zenitsu. His nose was bleeding and his eye was already bruising.
"Fine then," The boar man said raising his sword. "You leave me no choice but to take you out along with that box!" Zenitsu just laid there, watching as the strange man held his sword up. Was this really it for him? Is he really going to die?
"STOP IT!" The burgundy haired demon slayer shouted as he dashed forward, quicker than the naked eye could register. The kids cowered as you held them close behind you.
"I SAID STOP!" Tanjiro shouted letting out a loud battle cry as he threw his fist straight into the ribs of the man. Sending him flying.
" I heard it! He broke his ribs!" Zenitsu shouted while still holding the box. Your eyes widened. He really just broke that mans ribs... with one hit?! Woah...
"Aren't you part of the demon slayer corps?!" Tanjiro yelled out clenching his fist in anger. "You must understand why Zenitsu refuses to draw his sword. Because it's taboo for us to be fighting each other without provocation! But here you are, giving him a completely one-sided beating. Is that fun for you?"
You looked down to see him about to loose his shit even more. He squeezed his fist together so hard his knuckles were turning white.
"You are the lowest of the low." He hissed out. The man who laid down a good distance away, was coughing uncontrollably, however, you could then hear a fit of cackles coming from him.
"I didn't realize," He lifted his head up to look at Tanjiro. "In that case, lets fight bare-handed!"
"No! Didn't you hear a word I said? We aren't supposed to fight each other in anyway!"
The boar man didn't listen to a word he was saying and charged forward. Throwing punches and kicks in his direction. Tanjiro kept on dodging. The kids behind you ran over to help Zenitsu and you followed behind him.
"Look at him, how is he able to move like that? And with broken ribs?" Zenitsu asked. You grabbed a piece of cloth that the kids handed you and gently dabbed Zenitsu's face to rid of the blood.
"If we are being fair here. Tanjiro is going against the rules as well," He said to you, "He broke his bones."
You looked over at the two fighting and saw the man punch Tanjiro in the face, sending him back a few steps. Your eyes widened, soon, your expression turned to anger. You quickly gave the cloth to one of the kids and ran straight into the middle of their fight. The man was beginning to throw another punch at Tanjiro, that's when you interfeired and grabbed the man's fist. Both of your hands shaking in the process with the amount of force you both were using. Tanjiro looked up and saw you right infront of him.
"Y-Y/N?" You didnt have time to answer as the boar man then went for a kick to your head. You quickly ducked down and swung your leg underneath. You were successful and knocked him down. You smirked to yourself. Although, his foot then somehow landed onto your head and knocked you down to the ground.
What is this strength coming from?! It's like... I'm facing a four-legged beast!
The man quickly jumped back and looked at you as you kept your ground standing in front of Tanjiro defensively. You felt something warm trickle down from your nose. You licked your lips and tasted iron. You were bleeding. But you didn't care.
"Y/N. Y-You're bleeding!" Tanjiro exclaimed worryingly.
"How did you like that move?" The boar man called out in front of you. "Why don't I show you what else I can do!" He then folded himself backwards and grabbed his ankles while cackling loudly.
"You shouldn't be doing that! You have broken ribs which can be bad for you!" You shouted to the boar man.
"So? When do I care?" Without even registering anything else, he dashed towards you at full speed. Before you could even do anything, Tanjiro came in front of you this time and grabbed the man's shoulders.
"Now calm down! DO YOU HEAR!?" He than smashed his forehead against the man and a loud cracking sound echoed. You stood wide eyed at what just happened.
"Woah! Did they break their skulls or something?!" Zenitsu screamed out. The boar man staggered back and swayed a little bit. Soon, you noticed the boar mask had begun to fall off his face. Your eyes widening upon the sight. There was a faint silence, until;
"HUH!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! THAT'S WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE?!" Zenitsu screamed again.
"What the hell are you saying?" The man looked up with a strange grin on his face. He had raven black hair and at the tips they faded into a lighter royal blue color. His eyes were green like the blades of grass that swayed with the wind. His face looks like a woman's? You thought to yourself. "You got a problem with my face or something?"
"I don't understand," Zenitsu started. "You've got this ripped body, but you've got such a delicate face to go with it."
"What? Why are you obsessed with my face all of a sudden?"
Zenitsu squeaked and hid behind Terruco. "No! I'm not! It was just a simple observation!"
"There's nothing wrong with your face," Tanjiro started, "In fact, the shape size and completion are quite attractive." You raised your brows slightly and looked at Tanjiro with a face that read; 'really?' In a sarcastic way.
"You're a dead man!" Inosuke yelled pointing his finger at Tanjiro. You came forward infront of him and gently put his hand down.
"We won't fight you anymore!"
"Fight me woman!"
"No! We are done!"
"Fight me!"
"No!"
"I've got an idea," the man started, "Why don't I tell you my name! It's Inosuke Hashibira, and don't you forget it!" He threatened. You raised an eyebrow.
"H-How is that spelled?" You asked. He staggered back in surprise.
"W-Wha— I don't know how to read and write, okay! All I know... is that name was written on my—"
He froze. A look of shock plastered upon his face.
"Huh? What's the matter?" You asked, slightly worried for the guy, even though he did fight you and Tanjiro for no reason what so ever. Inosuke's eyes then rolled back behind his head as he collapsed on the ground. Foam forming from his mouth as well as his head bleeding from the headbutt Tanjiro gave him.
"WHA! HE COLLAPSED! Is he... dead?" Zenitsu cowered behind Terruco.
"No... I think it's a concussion. I did headbutt him really hard though..."
Terruco came up behind you and Tanjiro. "Are you both okay?" You nodded your head as well as Tanjiro.
"Can I feel your head?" Terruco asked as she looked up at Tanjiro. "Sure." She pet his forehead.
"Wow! It's so hard!" (Don't get dirty minded now readers ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°))
"Is it really?"
Zenitsu looked at the scene in slight horror. His head isn't even bleeding when he headbutt Inosuke! How hard can his head possibly be?!
┌───͙⊱••✩••̩̩͙⊰•───┐
After the whole situation, Inosuke woke up and found everyone burying the bodies of the poor souls that died in the mansion. He had a whole fuss but then after he wanted to, but never ended up doing it anyway. After praying for the bodies, you, Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke headed down to a path so that you could let the kids go. Tanjiro's crow gave them a small pouch of wisteria petals to keep demons away. Zenitsu didn't want Shoiji to leave in which Tanjiro had to knock him out. And carry him down the mountain.
"I swear I'm gonna find your weak point and bring you down!" Inosuke shouted. Tanjiro grew mad.
"I have a name you know? It's Tanjiro Kamado!"
"Alright Gonpachiro Kamaboko. I'm gonna bring you down!" He yelled again making a weird hand motion. You were behind the three and facepalming yourself.
I swear I'm gonna be deaf later.
"What about you M/P/N (Mispronounced name)?! Wanna fight me?!" You looked up with furrowed eyebrows.
"My name is Y/N L/N!"
"Okay then M/P/N! I'm gonna take you down too!"
"What are you talking about?!" Tanjiro yelled back.
"Both of you of course!"
"No you're not!"
"Excuse me!" Zenitsu shouted while looking at everyone in complete anger.
"COULD YOU KEEP IT DOWN PLEASE?!?!"
"Caw caw! Rest! You all deserve rest! Caw!"
Everyone looked up from when was currently going on with all the shouting and found Tanjiro's crow circling around and shouting about some house which they could rest at. You sighed with relief. You all deserved lots of rest after what you had been through.
And man were you ready for it.
