"You shouldn't help yourself to someone else's belonging's without their permission, Michikatsu-kun," the pieces of paper in his hand was snatched by Hizu. "Though part of me is relieved that you had read them," Hizu ripped the papers and scattered them on the ground. "You shouldn't have come here. You should've just ignored me when you saw me. I didn't want you to see me like this," Hizu walked closer and closer to Michikatsu, cupping Michikatsu's face with his hands. "You should never see me weak," a tear slipped down Hizu's cheek as his expression remained a psychotic one.
"I'm sorry," Michikatsu spoke softly.
"It doesn't matter. This battle... will be our last," Hizu drew his sword.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Forming a sword in his hand, Michikatsu got his stance ready for battle as well as Hizu. For their finale battle, they both decided to use the breathings that they learnt/made before just like the old times when they sparred with each other. They were on the same side but then and now, they're on opposite ends.
"Breath of thunder; Fifth form..."
"Breath of the moon; Sixth form..."
"Heat lightning!" a sword slash with lightning came towards Michikatsu.
"Perpetual night, lonely moon," a barrage of crescent shaped slashes went towards Hizu. "You're as fast as ever," commented Michikatsu.
"You're still quite strong too. I envy you, all I have is speed," smiled Hizu.
[With Yoriichi]
Yoriichi was dropped in a room not too far from where Michikatsu was. Seeing a demon enter the room, Yoriichi quickly decapitated it and went back to finding Michikatsu when he heard a loud noise.
Rushing to where it was, he entered a room and saw Michikatsu and Hizu fighting.
"Ah look, we have a spectator," said Hizu.
"Yoriichi...." said Michikatsu.
Yoriichi was about to rush in and help when a sword landed tip first in the floor in front of him. It was Michikatsu's sword. Yoriichi stared at Michikatsu in disbelief who looked the other way and just when he was about to ask, Michikatsu spoke first in a low voice.
"Don't interfere. This is our last battle."
"Michikatsu-"
"Please! I f*cking beg you!" Yoriichi was surprised by Michikatsu's yelling.
Michikatsu was usually a calm person. He didn't really raise his voice, even when he was just joking around. Yoriichi then hesitantly agreed to not interfere.
"Give me your sword," said Michikatsu, extending his hand towards Yoriichi.
Yoriichi looked at the sword in his hand. He didn't really want to hand the sword that once belonged to Hizu to his brother. It was the same sword that Michikatsu had used to kill himself in the past. Reluctantly, he gave the sword to Michikatsu.
Approaching Hizu, Michikatsu handed Hizu his original sword and took the one in Hizu's hand.
"You're really giving me this?" Hizu looked at the sword in his hand.
"Only for this fight then after that, It's Yoriichi's," replied Michikatsu.
Resuming their fight, Hizu and Michikatsu charged towards each other while Yoriichi just watched.
"Hey Hizu, earlier when you said you envied how strong I was, was it really true?" Michikatsu asked out of nowehere.
"It was. If I was still a human and not a demon, I might not stand a chance," Hizu honestly replied.
"Do you regret becoming a demon? If you do, then I'll help you," said Michikatsu.
"Regret? Help? It's too late for either of those!" shouted Hizu, stopping his attack. "Look, do you think this is someone worth saving?" endless tears spilled from Hizu's eyes, as half of his body formed into Yuta's, Yuta's head falling limp.
"You- you consumed Yuta to become a full demon again didn't you?" Michikatsu and Yoriichi's eyes shook.
"You're correct. I convinced Yuta to become a demon. I killed Yuta for my own benefit. Do you still want to save me?" tears rolled down Hizu's face as a psychotic smile formed.
"Yes. I still want to save you. Please Hizu, please at least die a human," pleaded Michikatsu.
"A human. You wanted to die as a human too didn't you? Fine then," Hizu took out the bottle Michikatsu had gave him, "let's die as humans together!" he shoved some of the blood in Michikatsu's mouth before drinking some himself.
"Yeah, let's die right here, right now," smiled Michikatsu even though he felt pain surging through his body.
"Michikatsu!" Yoriichi tried to reach out towards his brother but it was too late.
Both Hizu and Michikatsu had stabbed the other person.
"This is really our finale battle," Michikatsu sadly smiled.
"Yeah... it really is. Sometimes I wonder, if you ever felt any regret or hesitation leaving me behind before," said Hizu.
"You idiot. There's no such thing as regret in death, just darkness," chuckled Michikatsu. "Hizu...?" no reply, Hizu had already died.
"Why did you do that?! Are you that happy dying?! Do you want to leave me behind that much?!" Yoriichi shouted, grabbing Michikatsu's hand.
"That was how Hizu felt before. This is the same situation except a bit different. Last time you died first, now Hizu's dead. I was slowly dying, and I am now. Hizu was left behind, just like you right now," Michikatsu said with tears in his eyes.
"Why...?" Yoriichi started tearing up.
"A curse. It's a curse Yoriichi and death is the payment," Yoriichi recognised the words that Michikatsu spoke.
"You-!"
"I don't want you to die. I'm sorry," Michikatsu closed his eyes.
'Cold. Michikatsu's hands are cold,' Yoriichi let go of his dead brother's hand. Lifting up his brother's body, he carried his body until they made it outside.
Soon, the alive slayers that were in the infinity fortress and Muzan had come out.
"Yoriichi-niisan where's-......what?" Tanjiro stared at the dead body of Michikatsu.
"Keep his body safe," Yoriichi placed Michikatsu's dead body against a wall.
"Oh? It seems like he decided to self destruct with Hizu. I was going to make him work for me but it's too bad I guess-" in a second, Muzan's head was cut off.
"Shut your godd*mn mouth," Yoriichi glared.
The older Yoriichi, was back.
"Breath of the sun: Thirteenth form," Yoriichi used the techniwue that was specifically deigned to kill Muzan.
He rushed towards Muzan, activating his transparent world to destroy Muzan's hearts with the thirteenth form.
"This time, I win, Kibutsuji Muzan," Yoriichi said with an emotionless voice and neutral expression but the tears streaming down his face showed his true emotion.
The soon came up after Muzan's death. It was over. All of it was over.
Breath of the clock hand; First form: time skip*
There Yoriichi was, standing in front of the grave of his dead twin brother. Placing flowers at the grave, his stared the gravestone, devoid of any emotion.
"Let's reincarnate as brothers in another life again, Michikatsu."
[End]
________________________________________________________________
Hello everyone! This is the end of the fanfic! Thank you for staying and reading my fanfic. I know it's rushed at the end but I hope you don't mind too much.
If you want, I can make where they reincarnate in the modern time (like the part in the actual manga).
Explanation for the the chapter 'The end is coming'.
If you saw the chapter, you'd notice 'The end' is in apostrophes while 'is near' is not: 'The end' is coming. The 'The end' is actually for this chapter which is named 'The end' and 'is near' simply means that it is going to be out soon (it's out today). The clue that I left for the end chapter was 'the angel number: hope encouragement, love' which tells you the chapter number that the ending will be out (not the amount in total but the actual numbered ones meaning not including special chapters and announcements). The number '60' is known as 'the angel number' which represents 'hope, encouragement and love'. If you put all of that together, it means that the ending is coming soon and the chapter is chapter 60 (this chapter).
I hope you have a fantastic day/evening/night
Stay safe, have fun and enjoy life
Sleep early, try not to stay up late
Idiotic lazyass author-san/chan/kun/whatever out ✌ peace
