(Y/N)'s POV
Am I dreaming again? I found myself standing in a field filled with Blue Spider Lilies. A sudden pain once again ran through my head as fell to my knees screaming in agony. Memories... memories from the fight against Muzan once again surged and flashed through my mind.
Something terrible happened that day, but I just can't remember, I'm sure of it. The pain left as quickly as it came and my surroundings had suddenly changed. The landscape was now where the final fight had happened.
"Why... why am I here again." This was too much for me, I can't stand this place at all. This is where I died in Tanjirou's arms after all and where he...
"(Y/N)."
Shivers went down my spine. I couldn't move at all, fear was keeping me from trying to do anything. The fear was unbearable, this fear felt as if it was chewing on my sanity.
That voice... it can't be.
"Oh yes it's me (Y/N)."
Reading my thoughts... I felt a cold heavy breath suddenly besides my left ear. I couldn't do anything at all... his presence was too overwhelming. "I-I thought we killed you for good... Muzan." I barely managed to speak, because right as I said that cold hands cuffed my mouth and nose. I couldn't speak. Nor could I longer breathe.
"Oh, you and Tanjirou did kill me, but I managed to let out a part of me before I died," he said with such a menacing voice. He was now pressing his hands harder and I was now thrashing in his arms trying to breath. "Oh I love to see that pained expression in your eyes, it makes you look so lovely (Y/N)."
Even though I couldn't see his face I knew he had a smile on that wretched face of his. I couldn't get out of his grip, there was no body to kick at. It was just his will... the spirit that's able to touch me in my dreams.
"(Y/N)... I would use you as my host right now, but it's not the time yet."
He let go of me and I fell to my knees coughing as I gained my breath and senses back. Host? What does me mean by that? I had no clue, yet I knew I couldn't do anything since I'm trembling in fear right now.
"(Y/N)!!"
Tanjirou...? This is a dream... I have to wake up.
"Ah I see I ran out of time, how unpleasant," looking up I could tell it was Muzan himself, but without his original form. He was now what seemed like just a black mist, but only his demon eyes were visible. He continued on, "Your time is running out, but my time is coming near (Y/N), when Tanjirou regains his memories that's when I'll use you as a host to continue my will."
"(Y/N)! Wake up!!"
Tanjirou's voice once again filled my dream. I want to wake up... please Tanjirou. I spoke too soon. The landscape changed once again and I now found myself at the fight once again. Something was wrong though... were was everyone?
"(Y/N)... why?"
"Tanjirou?" I asked and turned around and I let out a horrible scream. Behind me was everyone, but instead of seeing them alive.... they were all dead. Tanjirou being the only one who was still alive.. he was covered in serious injuries and was surrounded with a stench of blood everywhere. "TANJIROU WHAT HAPPENED?!"
"Stay where you are (Y/N)!! You did this! You killed us all... I thought you were one of us. I loved you too... why? Don't you dare get any closer!" Tanjirou screamed out and I was at a loss of words.
"No... I didn't do this Tanjirou..." What's happening... I hate this place. I want to leave.
"Why... (Y/N)." Tanjirou kept on repeating with tears in his eyes.
"NO IT WASN'T ME!! I WOULDN'T DARE HARM ANYONE!!"
"You're a demon (Y/N)..." Tanjirou said "A demon."
"No.... I'm not please Tanjirou," I can't stan this pain anymore... this can't be real.
"You killed us (Y/N)"
"You killed us (Y/N)"
"You killed us (Y/N)"
"You killed us (Y/N)"
"You killed us (Y/N)"
"NO I DIDN'T STOP IT!!"
Stop... stop.. stop. Please.
"(Y/N)!! WAKE UP PLEASE!!"
"TANJIROU!!!!" I woke up with a panic, but as soon as I did, I hit my forehead against something very hard and fell back on my bed. "Ahhhh!"
Tanjirou's POV
It happened too fast. (Y/N) was having a nightmare and kept screaming out my name and someone by the name of Muzan. The name sounds so familiar, yet I can't wrap my finger around it. I called out her name various times yet she just wouldn't wake up. There was a point where (Y/N) was crying and yelling out my name and I just couldn't stand seeing her in pain in anymore. I was getting really worried.
I called out her name various times and now standing and shaking her to wake her up. I thought it wasn't working and was about to call for help, until she screamed out my name and woke up. It was too suddenn... she had hit my forehead and fell back down.
"(Y/N)!! You're awake thank goodness!"
"T-Tanjirou!" She yelled out my name and threw herself to me barely giving me enough time to react. She was crying in my arms... what kind of nightmare did she have, to be in a state like this.
"(Y/N)..." I embraced her and we stood there for what seemed to be hours until she finally pulled away.
"Ouch... ouch... ouch. What did I hit?" She touched her forehead, it was now bleeding from the head bump she got from me...
"Ahhhhh... I'm so sorry (Y/N)!" I rapidly got up and got a towel and poured water on it from the bathroom sink. Making my way back I slowly pressed the wet towel on her forehead. "I actually have a very hard forhead... and you kind of hit it head on, I'm sorry (Y/N)."
"....."
"(Y/N)?" I didn't notice at all, but (Y/N)'s cheeks had suddenly turned to a rosy red color. "D-Do you have a fever?"
STUPID TANJIROU— I was caught off guard... she looked so cute that I randomly spat that out.
"I-I'm okay!" (Y/N) rapidly responded as she saw my expression. Oh no, I just made the situation more awkward. "Thank you for staying Tanjirou, I didn't meant to be trouble for you."
She's so sweet... "It's okay (Y/N) it was no trouble at all, I was very worried about you." She's going through something and I want to help her as much as I can.
She smiled at my response, but the smile soon turned to a pained expression. I couldn't help but feel anguished... she's keeping something serious from me. I was pretending I didn't knew, but I had known since her date with Giyuu. She had changed... she was in pain. Her scent that once smelled of blooming Cherry Blossoms now smelt like dead flowers.
"Tanjirou?" (Y/N) said my name in a very pained voice.
"Yes?" I responded.
"Thank you for staying... I'm very sorry for causing any trouble. I'll be returning to school next week... after all I don't want to miss Mitsuri's debut." She smiled at me. That sweet smile... I've seen that smile so many times, but I for sure know I haven't. Where would I have seen it?
"Alright (Y/N)... I'll be dropping by everyday to see how you are, if that's okay." If she's hiding something then there's nothing I could do about it. I won't pressure her, instead I'll help her as much as I can. I wasn't sure why I was doing this, but I had a feeling that I had to be by her side as much as I could. It was this feeling... a feeling that said 'if I was to leave her alone she would disappear from my side.'
"I would love that Tanjirou," (Y/N) said distracting me from my thoughts. "Thank you for checking on me, I feel a lot better now."
With that I told her goodbye and started my way home. I didn't want to leave her, but it was late at night and she didn't want my parents to be worrying about me. One of her drivers had offered to give me a ride, but I kindly rejected it since I didn't live that far.
Mitsuri's debut is within two weeks, everyone was excited. I can't wait to show (Y/N) how beautiful the idol world can be.
