3RD POV
you yawn slightly, squeezing your eyes in confusion as you felt two teeth in particular sharper than you remember.
"nezuko, tanjiro, okaa-san?" you ask, they never answer you, but you still tried. you rubbed your eyes, only to hiss in pain as your unusually sharp nail scratched your skin 'huh? since when were my nails this long? or sharp..?' you wonder.
you bring your hand up to your cheek, sure to feel a cut, or find some blood. only to feel nothing when you put it there, your rub your eyes again, making sure not to scratch yourself this time 'how weird.. it must not have been a deep enough scratch.'.
you now finally open your eyes, finding yourself sitting comfortably on a freshly made futon. that made you immensely confused, considering the one you slept on was old and hard, since you had to dig it out of somewhere in the floorboards.
'did okaa-san finally buy me one? why don't i remember going to sleep last night?' you yawn again.
your mouth starts to salivate as a new scent hits your nose, 'what the hell? what's this.. it smells terrible.. but good at the same time?' you blink a few times to rid of any fogginess in your eyes.
now with clear eyesight, which you can't help but feel was better than before, you notice you're not in the room you sleep, instead, you're in the kitchen. 'huh? why am i in the kitchen?' you just shrug your shoulders and get up, not bothering to look down at your clothing.
you pack up your futon and just place it to the side, you would put it away later. but something felt strange.
you exit the kitchen only to gasp at the crimson colour coating the once brown walls, 'oh my god.. is that.. blood?!' you think, covering your mouth which was now salivating at the substance 'what the hell? why am i drooling.'.
you walk out further only to gasp again in horror, seeing your families bodies in a pile on the floor, after seeing that, your memories from the previous night slowly started to come back to you.
hot tears rolled down your cheeks as you feel to your knees 'oh my god.. they're all dead... i couldn't save them..' your stomach grumbled, for a newfound hunger 'dammit, stomach! right now is not the time..' you scold your own stomach before gasping loudly.
'tanjiro! tanjiro was down at the mountain! I have to find him..' you get up quickly, ignoring the burning hunger in your stomach and dashing out the front door, only to freeze when you exit.
'hold on... nezuko! where's nezuko? she ran out here with rokuta..' you think as you quickly search around the house for her body, only to find nothing.
'nezuko.. she must have been safe..she must be with tanjiro..' you think, small glint of hope in your eyes 'but wait... how would she have survived that? there was no way.. i heard her scream too..' you think for a moment before your eyes widen in realization.
'that man.. that man.. that man! that man was a demon! i've heard people talking about them, everyone said they were rumours.. but there was no way.. that man had tentacles coming out of his body.. he had to be... he had to of been a demon!' you realize.
'then that means... nezuko must be a demon also! a man eating demon! she must be... but wait.. how did, i , survive that.. that must mean..' you gasp in horror.
'oh my god.. i'm a man eating demon... that's why.. that's why their blood made my stomach grumble..'.
you shake your head 'i can't think of such trivial matters at the moment! nezuko and tanjiro! i can sense them down the mountain.. if nezuko's a man eating demon.. then surely.. she's going to attack tanjiro!' without another thought you started to sprint down the snowy mountain.
as you sprint a little further, you stop as you hear yelling and crying coming from a ledge off the mountain. you look down and see tanjiro and nezuko on the ground, nezuko tackling tanjiro, and tanjiro yelling at her to stop.
you quickly jump down the mountain, falling flat on your face, which still didn't seem to notify tanjiro and nezuko.
just as you were about to run over to them, a man with dark-bluish hair attacks nezuko, aiming for her neck. you immediately recognized him as a demon slayer, you saw one down at the town before a few months back, they had the same uniform.
you immediately respected him, being a demon slayer would be a tough job, and they risk their lives for others.
you watch as tanjiro rolls away with nezuko in his arms, you quickly run up and sit next to him, which neither of them seem to notice yet.
you watch as the man lunges at tanjiro again grabbing nezuko and holding her in one arm, making you gasp slightly 'he's quick..'. the mans attention was now on you, he could tell you were also a demon, but what confused him was how you were just sitting next to tanjiro, not trying to eat him at all.
he just shrugs his shoulders and lunges at you, with tanjiro to preoccupied with nezuko, it was an easy feat. you decide against struggling, it only makes things harder.
'huh? what's up with this demon? she's not struggling at all.. and she didn't attack the boy. i can see the resemblance, are they also siblings? why didn't he try and protect her though? maybe he just didn't notice?' the male with dark-bluish hair thinks.
he swiftly dodges the rocks that are sent his direction, somehow none of them hitting nezuko, yet a few hitting you, which tanjiro didn't seem to care about, or just didn't notice.
you don't really pay attention to what they're both saying, though you noticed tanjiro hasn't said your name once, and only seems to be paying attention to nezuko, but you didn't really mind. that's how it's always been.
you watch intently as tanjiro runs around the trees and throws an hatchet straight for the older male's head, and how the older male pushes tanjiro down with ease, making nezuko momentarily freeze.
you gasps and push the male out of the way slightly as the hatchet that tanjiro previously threw was coming straight at his head. you hiss in slight pain as the hatchet grazes the side of your head 'what? the other demon girl protected me?' the older man thinks before gasping in shock as you both get kicked away by nezuko.
she didn't seem to care the man was still holding onto you and kicked both of you into a tree, before running at tanjiro, like she was about to eat him. you widen your eyes as she goes in front of him and goes in a protective stance.
you gasps again as he lunges straight for the male holding you, he dodges, but you don't. she makes a large gash across your face making you whimper slightly. though it heals quickly.
the man also watches in shock as the demon girl scratches your face without a care before running back at him, he easily knocks her out.
he turns to you "do you know them in any way?" he asks, you nod. "yes, they're my brother and twin sister" you say making the male slightly widen his eyes 'and yet the demon girl still scratched her right across the face? and the boy didn't call another name once.' he thinks.
"you are a demon, aren't you?" he asks and you nod, showing your teeth. the man felt sad for you, he knew something was up. it was quite obvious they didn't really care about you.
"uh.. just stay here, i'll go make you and your sister muzzles i guess" he says and before you get a chance to reply, he disappears into thin air.
you just sit beside the unconscious nezuko and tanjiro, your lip quivered slightly, but not from the cold, from sadness.
'i still can't believe nezuko just sacrificed me like that.. without a second thought, she just pushed me to the ground' you think sadly as your gaze turned to the floor. 'and tanjiro, he didn't even mention me here, not once.'.
your snapped out of your thoughts as the man returns, holding two green bamboo muzzles, he hands one to you "put this on" he commands and you nod, wrapping it around the back of your head and drilling your razor-sharp teeth into the front.
you turn back and see he's already placed the other on nezuko, you just lay on the soft snow, waiting for tanjiro to wake up.
a few minutes later you finally hear tanjiro shuffling, you turn your head and see tanjiro holding nezuko with a tight grasp, even though you were closer.
"you awake?" the male asks and tanjiro holds nezuko closer "go to mount sagiri, meet a man called sakonji urokodaki. tell him giyuu tomioka sent you." he states and you give him a small wave, which he gives an even smaller one back before disappearing.
finally tanjiro turns to you, "oh.. uh.. y/-" he starts "uh- y/n! when did you get here?" he asks you look down 'he couldn't even remember my name..' his gaze turns to your muzzle.
"oh, you're a demon too.." he trails off before turning his attention back to nezuko and smiling softly at her.
you bit your muzzle a little harder, as another piece of your heart shattered.
