Why does my left titty hurt?
You groan in discomfort as you try to push your body up, but your arms seem to be immobile. You furrow your eyebrows together before opening your eyes.
Uh huh....those looked like pebbles...
But weren't you in the forest with Inosuke?
...
Wait, Inosuke!
You jerk your body up suddenly and quickly to sit up on your knees quickly, yelping quietly at the pain. The rope binding your arms behind your back was getting uncomfortable. Where were-
"Hey, hey! Look who's awake!" An energetic, masculine voice spoke from in front of you.
You snap your head up, your eyes widening in disbelief. No fucking way...
"Had a good rest?" Kyojuro asks with an energetic smile.
When you first met Inosuke in the flesh, you thought he was the beautiful person in the world.
But Kyojuro... that man was something else.
Not only did you personally think Kyojuro has the most appealing character design in the anime, but he was your favorite character in the series!
Sorry, Tanjiro. You thought. I know we're friends, but Kyojuro is my fucking baby!
Holy shit! Kyojuro is so beautiful in the flesh! So amazing! So-
Wait-
You whip your head to look at the others, your heart racing in your chest. Why were you here? You shouldn't be here!
In front of you, were the 7 out of the 9 pillars (Sanemi is stealing away Nezuko right now and Iguro was brooding in the tree). In a line, there was Shinobu, Gyomei, and Muichiro, Kyojuro (baby), Mitsuri, Uzui, and Giyuu (Who was isolating himself.).
Tanjiro was lying on his side next to you, a Kakushi next to his body.
Why were you at the Hashira's meeting?!
"You know, it's not flamboyant to ignore a question like that," You snap your head to see Uzui.
You feel your nose burn as tears easily well up in your eyes. Your heart hurt so much seeing everyone here together like this. Everyone was so unaware. And you were too aware.
You feel burden with the information that only you possessed and you start to cry, your emotions piling up from remembering the events in the manga.
"Whoah, you're crying...?" Kyojuro looks at you in surprise and concern.
Uzui stares at you with a blank expression.
The Sound Pillar takes enormous pride in his excellent hearing. His ability was so great and flamboyant, that he could hear things from underground, pinpoint how many people were in an area. If he listened closely to the sounds people made, he could tell what they were thinking, and how they were feeling.
His hearing had never failed him. Not once. It was a flamboyant ability.
But there was no way you were mourning their deaths; they weren't even dead! But yet here you are: you're in pain, you mourn for all of them, yet relieved that they were alive (Of course they were...?) You wanted to apologize to them, but for what? Why do you feel responsible for whether they live or die?
How un-flamboyant.
Uzui frowns a bit, "Hey-"
"-Ah," Gyomei cuts him off, "The young girl must be aware of the sins she has committed. She weeps for her crimes."
"But we're not sure of what exactly she did," Kyojuro argues, "I don't even think she's here for punishment."
You need to leave.
Your biggest mistake was letting your tears fall. You did your best to wipe your tears on your shoulder, but your body ached in pain.
"Hey! Pst!" You whisper-shouted to wake up Tanjiro, "Tanjiro! Wake up!"
No dice.
You groan in frustration, hanging your head low.
"Jesus fucking Christ," You mutter, "Why was I put on this Earth? Just to suffer?"
"What...is she saying?" You hear Kyojuro ask.
"I have no clue..." Someone else responds, but you didn't know who, it was probably Muichiro.
Uzui tried to call to you again, "Hey, girl-"
"-Don't just sit up so casually!" The kakushi pushes you down, "And you! Wake up!"
"Oh, you dickbag!" You grunt in pain before lifting your head.
Uzui was going to have an aneurysm. A flamboyant one, of course. But still.
You snap your head towards Tanjiro.
"Hey, I said wake-"
You felt it before you heard it.
Your body jerked in surprise so hard, you're sure you pulled something. Your left boob started vibrating.
Oh shit, my phone!
Then, the obnoxious sound of your phone's pre-picked ringtone of your alarm starts blasting from your chest.
Everyone jumps in surprise, shouting at the sound coming from inside your black hoodie.
"What the hell is that?!"
"It's coming from her-"
"-The noise is coming from her breasts!"
The obnoxious sound of "Life's Good Alarm" had triggered Tanjiro's flight or fight reflexes.
It caused him to wake up to glare at the source of his disappointment.
"Turn that off!" Tanjiro glares at your chest.
You two make eye contact as the alarm plays for a few more seconds before quieting.
Inosuke had somehow changed the alarm settings (How?! He can't read!) so it would only ring for 10 seconds. And you can't figure out how to change it! And he refuses to change it back for you!
Everyone was now staring at you (More specifically, your chest) in silence.
You smile at the redhead, "Bro, what's poppin?"
"(Y/n)! You-You're okay!" He starts to cry like the cry baby he is, "I'm so sorry! I'm sorry I-I-I wasn't able to protect you! I-"
"-Tanjiro," You frown slightly, "You know I can't understand you."
Tanjiro shakes his head before sniffing, "I-I'm just gl-glad you're okay."
He looks up at the Hashira's who were staring at you and him.
"Wh-Who are these peop-"
"-Don't just open your mouth just yet, you moron!" The kakushi pushes Tanjiro's head against the white pebbles, "You're in the presence of the Hashiras!"
"Booo!" You boo-ed them like the losers the Pillar's were.
The kakushi pushes your head against the pebbles for that.
"This is the Demon Slayers' headquarters. And you're about to be put on trial...Kamado Tanjiro and (Y/n), was it?" Shinobu speaks.
You scrunch your nose in confusion. Why were you here? What the hell did you do?
"Before we start the trial, why don't you explain the crimes you two comm-"
"-There is no need for a trial for Kamado Tanjiro!" Kyojuro cuts her off.
Uh, crap! What does he say? Something about beheading him, right? Kyojuro, you're the babiest of babies... but what the fuck dude.
"Protecting a demon is a clear violation of the code! We're within our rights to deal with him on our own! We're going to behead him along with the demon!" Kyojuro was such a passionate man so you couldn't stay mad at him.
Uzui sounds so fancy, like he's too good to be here.
You try to hold back a smile when you remember how his English voice actor sounded.
The English voice actor said every word in the dictionary but flamboyant.
"In that case, I'll be glad to decapitate him flamboyantly! I'll show you the most flamboyant blood spray you'll ever see!" Uzui declares flamboyantly, "I'm talking max flamboyance."
He then turns to look at you again, "Girl, why-"
"-Ah," Gyomei cries, "What a pitiful sight this boy is. The poor soul...I pity him for having been born at all."
Uzui was starting to get irritated from the interruptions. He wanted to call you again, but you looked away from the pillars to look over to Tanjiro when he started to look around for his sister.
"Hey, you two," The kakushi mutters, "The Hashiras are speaking. What are you looking at? These are the nine highest-ranking swordsmen in the Demon Slayer Corps."
"Hashiras..." Tanjiro mutters.
"Psh," You scoff, "They ain't got shit on me. That's why yo mamma's dead."
Tanjiro cocks an eyebrow at you as you rant. What the fuck are you saying???
"Dead as hell. What shoes she got on? That's why she ain't got no knees, she can't pray to Jesus." You take a deep breath, "Okay, I'm done."
"Let's put the boy out of his misery." Gyomei suggests.
"Yeah! Let's do it. Flamboyantly." Uzui agrees, "But first I-"
"-(Y/n)!" Tanjiro calls you.
Uzui was seriously losing his patience.
You look at him with an arched eyebrow, "Yeah, what's up?"
"Nezuko! Do you know where she is?"
Uh, what did he say?
"Nezuko?..."
Oh!
You smile at him, "She's okay."
Tanjiro nods, "And Inosuke? Zenitsu? Are they okay? Is Inosuke okay?"
You open your mouth to tell him you don't understand what he was asking, but someone else beat you to it.
"Forget that. What will we do with Tomioka?"
You and Tanjiro look over to see Iguro in the tree. You widen your eyes before looking down so the others didn't see you grin like a moron.
BABY HANDS! BABY HANDS! BABY HANDS-
"Seeing him there without any restraints is giving me a headache," Iguro complained, "Based on what Kocho told us, Tomiooka's just as guilty of breaking the Corps rules. How will we deal with him? How should we make him take responsibility? What kind of lesson should we teach him?"
You sigh quietly and laid your right cheek on the cool pebbles.
Sure, this was cool and all (Except that it wasn't! You had no idea why you were here!), but you don't speak Japanese. You have no idea what any of these people were saying. You tried to keep up by memory, but there was just too much being said, you lost track.
"Don't you have anything to say, Tomioka?" Iguro points at the man in question.
You see Tanjiro look over to Giyuu, but you didn't bother to look for yourself. The King of Social Distancing wasn't going to say anything. All the Pillars turned to look at him, but he was just vibing.
You smile to yourself before rolling over to lay on your back to stare up at the sky. If you're gonna die at some dank ass trial, you might as well stare at the pretty sky while you can.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing?" The Kakushi scolds you.
But you didn't listen nor respond, you didn't even know he was talking to you.
"Oh, where's the harm?" Shinobu asks, "He did come along without resisting. Let's come up with a penalty later."
"What I'm more interested in is hearing these two's stories," Shinobu adds, "The reason the boy is going on missions with a demon in tow despite being a Demon Slayer. And the reason the girl was off fighting demons when she isn't a member, and how she got that uniform. The Master was insistent on bringing her here, so I am curious as to why..."
"I'd like to hear the explanation from them themselves. Needless to say, what they both have done is against the Demon Slayer Corps rules." Shinobu says.
Tanjiro tensed up from besides you.
"You two are aware of that, aren't you?"
Tanjiro doesn't say anything.
You didn't even know that Shinobu was addressing you as well. It made it seem like you were ignoring her.
"Kamado Tanjiro...Why are you traveling with a demon when you're a Demon Slayer?"
You hear the rattles of chains.
"No need to ask." Uzui pipes up.
Uzui will hopefully be able to pull you to the side later to ask you, because now, Tanjiro was guilty of committing some serious violations.
"You can take your time. Just tell us why." Shinobu suggests.
"She's my...She's my younger-" The redhead goes into a coughing fit.
You tilt your head to the side and see Shinobu walk towards the redhead and kneel in front of him.
"I do believe you need some water," She says softly, "You've injured your jaw, so please drink slowly. It contains a painkiller, so it will make you feel better."
Tanjiro takes a deep breath after drinking the water offered to him.
You sigh through your nose before sitting up again, looking over at the redhead.
Shinobu glances at you for a split moment before looking back at Tanjiro: "It's not as if your wounds are healed, so you mustn't push yourself. Now then, Kamado Tanjiro..."
"That demon is my younger sister!" Tanjiro says, "While I was away, my family was attacked by a demon, and when I got home, they were all dead! My sister got turned into a demon, but she's never devoured anyone! She never has...and never will! She'll never hurt humans no matter what!"
"Spare us your absurd ravings." Iguro sneers, "If she's family, no wonder you're defending her. I can't trust a single word you're saying. I, for one, don't believe you."
"She's been possessed by a demon." Gyomei cried, "Let us kill this poor child immediately so that she can be liberated!"
Bruh.
"Listen to me please!"
You understand how emotional this was for Tanjiro, really. You might know that Nezuko will be okay, but he didn't.
But you couldn't help but lose interest in the conversation, just wondering what the fuck you did to get here and how the fuck you were going to save Kyojuro. He was leaving after this, wasn't he? Or was it the next day?
"I became a swordsman so that Nezuko could be cured! It's been two years since Nezuko became a demon! And in all that time, she hasn't devoured one human!"
To be fair, Nezuko was asleep those two years. So of course she didn't eat anyone.
You look around the Estate and take in the appearance of the colorful Pillars. While checking out the powerful Hashiras, you make eye contact with Kyojuro.
Was he just staring at you this whole time?
You smile and wiggle your eyebrows at him playfully.
Kyojuro was caught off guard but he wiggles his eyebrows back.
What a meaningful conversation!
You give the blonde boy a wink before looking away to try and catch what the fuck was going on.
Though it seems you missed a bit of the conversation.
"My sister..." Tanjiro pauses to regain his composure, "My sister will fight with me by my side! She can fight as Demon Slayer to protect humans-"
You turn your head to the side at the sound of footsteps.
"-So, please..."
"Well, well, I see you have some fun brewing here."
You widen your eyes at the sight, and it took everything to fight back your grin.
Sanemi was looking fine as FUCK. But he was a dick, so his looks didn't count.
Didn't you read somewhere that Sanemi kept his uniform open like that because he was proud of his muscles?
"Is that the moron Demon Slayer who has a demon with him? What the hell are you trying to pull here?" Sanemi taunts while holding up Nezuko who was in her box.
Yep! It was from the official KNY data book! And they dead-ass said, 'Perverted, isn't it?'
"That won't do, Master Shinazugawa!" A female Kakushi rushes around the corner, "Please, would you mind putting down that box?"
"Shinazugawa, please don't act out of line." Shinobu says.
Okay, you need to stop this.
But, you need to time this just right, because there is no way in hell you're just letting him stab Nezuko like he did in the anime.
Long titty, no nipple havin' ass bitch is about to catch these hands.
If fighting Sans in the Undertale's Genocide route taught you anything, is that you should always start with your strongest attack first!
Or at least just attack first!
Sanemi ignores the kakushi, "What did you say about that demon, kid? That she can fight as a Demon Slayer to protect humans?"
You get ready to push yourself up off the ground.
"You know what we call that? A total delusion, you moron!"
The moment Sanemi reaches for his nichirin blade, you get up and charge the silvered haired man.
Everyone looks at you in surprise.
You can hear Tanjiro calling out your name, but you ignore him. Sanemi pulls his sword and swings at you horizontally.
You make the last second decision to slide onto your legs (Like a baseball runner sliding to home base.), effectively dodging the hit while also kicking Sanemi's legs, knocking him down to the ground.
Nezuko's box falls out of his hands and tumbles behind you.
Your legs burn from the friction against the rocks, but you bite back your tears and get up on your feet.
"Holy shit!" You laugh in disbelief, turning to look at everyone, "Did you fucking see that shit?! That was so fucking awesome! I'm so badass!"
Tanjiro looks at you in admiration before rushing up to get in front of Nezuko's box.
You bend over to laugh at Sanemi, "You got knocked the fuck out!"
Sanemi pushed himself up, sneering at your words, "You little..."
"Awwww," You tease, "Is the Wind Pillar embarrassed that he got his ass handed to him by a civilian?"
Tanjiro can only watch in horror as you taunt the intimidating Pillar, giving him the strong urge to pull his hair out.
Yes, he was incredibly grateful that you saved Nezuko a second time, but you were also being incredibly stupid for the nth time!
Before Mt. Natagumo, you and him had shared the brain cell most days.
But now, he could actually feel you reject the brain cell when he tried to pass it over.
"You have some nerve!" He glares at you as he stood up.
"Let's go, baby! I know the law! I'm fluent in 3 million forms of Kicking Your Ass! So, don't fuck with me! I have the power of God and Anime on my side!"
Tanjiro felt nauseous at your recklessness.
"(Y/n), wai-"
"-I'll destroy you!"
"The Master..."
"The Master..."
"...Has arrived."
"...Has arrived."
You turn your head to look over where the voices had come from. There was someone coming out from the building, slowly but surely. The upper half of his face was purple and was sickly.
You caught yourself from scrunching your face up in concentration, reminding yourself it's rude to stare.
"Good of you to come." Ubuyashiki greets, "My beloved children..."
His children led him by the hand to get him under the sunlight: "Good morning, everyone."
He's saying 'Good Morning', right? Yeah, he did! You remember because of the OTS from Dr. Stone!
"The weather is amazingly good today. I wonder if the sky is blue. It pleases me that we've made it to our semiannual Hashira Meeting with no personal changes." Ubuyashiki smiles.
You were suddenly brought to your knees, your forehead smacking harshly against the rocks. Sanemi had moved between you and Tanjiro to force you two to bow.
"You fucker!" You grunt quietly.
"I am pleased to see you in good health, as well, Master," Sanemi's voice had soothed itself, "I fervently pray for your continued good fortune."
"Thank you, Sanemi."
You almost laugh at Sanemi's sudden change in demeanor.
Almost.
Sanemi was on another level of simping.
"If I may, Master," Sanemi speaks, "Before we start the Hashira Meeting, would you mind enlightening us about this swordsman, Kamado Tanjiro, accompanied by the demon? And this girl you had asked us to bring?"
Tanjiro tensed up again. He was worried they might behead you or something for fighting demons despite not being a Demon Slayer.
And not to mention, you just attacked a Pillar then proceeded to make fun of said Pillar.
"Right," Ubuyashiki smiles, "I apologize for startling you all. About Tanjiro and Nezuko...I've sanctioned their situation. And I'd also like you all to accept it."
Oh yike.
Wasn't this the part everyone tells Ubuyashiki they won't accept them?
"Ah. Even if it's what you desire, Master, I cannot agree to it." Gyomei cries.
"I'm flamboyantly opposed, as well!" Uzui states, "A Demon Slayer traveling with a demon is unacceptable!"
"I shall do whatever it is you wish, Master!" Mitsuri cooes.
"I'm fine either way...since I'm going to forget anyway." Muichiro mumbles.
"I won't trust them. I won't trust them." Iguro sneers, "In the first place, I loathe demons."
"Although I respect you with all my heart," Kyojuro (baby) says passionately, "That's an incomprehensible notion, Master! I oppose it with everything I've got!"
"The Demon Slayer Corps' mission is to annihilate demons." Sanemi declares, "I request that you penalize both Kamado and Tomioka!"
You hiss quietly.
Can we get a F in the chat for Tanjiro?
That was 3 Pillars against 6. You knew Giyuu was accepting of it, but not Shinobu. But you weren't too worried.
"The letter." Ubuyashiki turns his head slightly to look at his daughter on the right.
"Yes, Master." The young girl pulls a letter out from her kimono, "This is a letter received from a former Hashira. Urokodaki Sakonji. I shall read you an abridged version."
You turn your head to the side in Sanemi's hold so you can rest your head comfortably and maybe rest your eyes during this speech. A part of you wanted Sanemi to stroke your hair so you can fall asleep faster.
"'Please allow Tanjiro to be accompanied by his sister, a demon," The girl reads, "Because of her resilien mental strength, Nezuko has not lost her human emotions. Even in a starved state, she never devoured humans, and this has held true more than two years later. Although the situation seems somewhat far-fetched, it is an indisputable fact. In the event that Nezuko does assault a human, Kamado Tanjiro, as well as...Urokodaki Sakonji and Giyu Tomioka will atone by committed seppuku.'"
You open your eyes and turn your head to the other side to see Tanjiro staring wide eyed at Giyuu, crying.
He shifts his eyes to you, and you smile softly, hoping to convey reassurance.
He sniffs his tears and smiles back.
"So, what if they commit seppuku?" Sanemi starts to talk again.
And that causes your smile to fall and put on a face of annoyance.
Tanjiro could never understand how you knew what face to make or what reaction to give whenever something happened. He figured you must be reacting to the tone of voice, or just reading the atmosphere. But he knew if it were him, he would just be confused the entire time.
Yeah, sometimes you looked bored and uninterested in most conversations you were a part of, but he doesn't blame you for not paying attention to what you can't understand.
"If you want to die, then rot to death for all I care!" Sanemi shouts, "It's no guarantee! Not by a long shot!"
You breathe out quietly: "bruh."
"Shinazugawa is right!" Kyojuro adds, "If she kills and devours a human, there's no coming back from that! It won't bring back the people who were killed!"
"You do have a point," Ubuyashiki nods.
"In that case..."
"Master!"
"We can't guarantee that she won't attack humans." Ubuyashiki says, "We can't prove it. That said...We also can't prove that she will attack humans. The fact that Nezuko has refrained from devouring humans for more than two years. And that there are three people risking their lives for her. To reject his notion, those who reject it must offer an even more convincing argument."
"Do you all have the will to do so?" Ubuyashiki challenges.
Ah! Son of a bitch!
You smirk smugly, seeing Sanemi tense up. But the smugness soon left when you remember what Sanemi would do.
"Also, there's something I'd light to relay to you, my children." Ubuyashiki continued, "Tanjiro here has met Kibutsuji. And this girl, from what Giyuu had told me, (Y/n) knows who the Twelve Kizuki's are."
You furrow your eyebrows together when he said your name: "Hah?"
Uh, what did he say about you?
Everyone gawks at you and Tanjiro. Tanjiro snaps his head to look at you with wide eyes.
You WHAT?! No way! That was impossible! Tanjiro was the first person you met! He didn't smell the scent of any demons on you when he found you, how can you possibly know any of the Twelve Kizukis?!
You cock an eyebrow and start whispering to Tanjiro: "Is he talking mad shit? Is he talking shit behind my back in front of my face?"
"No, impossible!" Uzui balks, "When no Hashira has ever crossed paths with him?"
You hear Mitsuri yelp as she was [fucking murdered] pushed to the ground by Uzui's bulging biceps
"You mean these two kids..." Uzui trails off, "What did he look like? What about his powers? Where did this take place, Kamado? And you, girl! Is this why you-"
"-Did you battle him?" Muichiro asks, cutting Uzui off, "How do you know the Twelve Kizuki's?"
Sanemi grips yours and Tanjiro's hair, lifting you two off the ground to shake your heads.
"What was Kibutsuji doing? Did you find his stronghold?" Sanemi demanded, "And you! How do you know any of those demons, huh?! Hey, answer me!"
"Cut it out, Scar-Face!" You insult, getting very dizzy and very irritated.
Sanemi shakes your head harder at that.
"Shut up!" Uzui yells at Sanemi, "I asked them first! First, tell us what powers Kibutsuji has!"
Ubuyashiki puts a finger to his mouth to silence everyone: "Kibutsuji has sent pursuers after both Tanjiro and most likely after (Y/n), as well. Though his purpose may simply be to silence them. Now that Kibutsuji's given himself away for the first time, I don't want to let this go. I also believe something's happening to Nezuko that Kibutsuji never saw coming. Can you try to understand?"
Everyone was silent.
Until one fucker...
