After your far-fetched daydreams about proposing to Sabito, you watch as Tanjiro places his arms behind his lean body to prop himself up, "What do you want, jumping out like that all of a sudden!" Sweat dripped down Tanjiro's face as he yelled at Sabito.
Even when he’s yelling he still manages to make it look cute, what the fuck?
You quietly sat under a nearby tree's protective shade. "I should be the one asking that, what are you doing?” Sabito states plainly as Tanjiro gives him a perplexed look, "Doing? I'm training..."
"How long are you going to sit there like that? Prepare yourself." Sabito's manly voice silences Tanjiro as he picks himself off the floor.
Damn Tanjiro, Sabito just called you out.
"At least one of you is taking this seriously..."
Oh? Was he trying to call me out too?
As the two of them stand their ground in front of one another and the tension grows, your eyes wander around the area to see if Makomo was around.
Nope, don't see her… for now...
"Alright, bring it on."
Oh shit, it's happening.
"But..." Tanjiro hesitates to attack, noticing a difference between himself and his opponent, "You're holding a wooden sword and I'm holding a real one."
Oh Tanjiro, honey, no.
Sabito's posture relaxes as his laugh cuts through the tension in the air. The sweat on Tanjiro’s dumbfounded face now began to intensify. You slightly shift in your spot in anticipation of the upcoming fight. You already knew how it would end, Tanjiro being knocked unconscious, but that didn't stop you from silently cheering for him.
Don't worry Tanjiro, you can do it!.. Eventually!
"Haha, you flatter me! Thank you for this care you've shown me! But do you really think you're able to injure me?"
Sabito rushes towards Tanjiro in a flash, forcing your friend to parry the young masked male's attack. "You don't have to worry at all, I'm much stronger than you! After all, I was able to slice that boulder in half!" Sabito mocks Tanjiro, and in a way you too, as your now panicked friend struggled against your favorite masked male. "You really haven't learned anything, have you? You haven't turned anything you were shown into your own skill!" Sabito overpowers Tanjiro, throwing him to the ground with a hard “thud".
I'm starting to feel bad for him...
"Especially the breathing technique Urokodaki-sensei has taught. "Total concentration."
Realization flashes across Tanjiro's face,
Oh yeah, it's all coming together now.
"You've only memorized the moves like some mere trivial facts. Your body hasn't experienced it at all." They both continue their attacks, and as time passes by, you realize Tanjiro was resorting to defense more than offense. In his eyes, you could see the determination after he realized Sabito made several points. "I'll make your flesh and blood remember it well," Their movements seemed to become blurrier as Tanjiro fought to keep up, "All of it, all of it, ALL OF IT! I'll make you NEVER forget the secret techniques Urokodaki has taught you! I'll implant them in your bone marrow." Sabito yells as his attacks continue to overwhelm Tanjiro more and more.
Sabito's so cool! Ahhh, I'm so going to praise him after this is over! After I check up on Tanjiro.
"I am learning! I learn every day, I'm doing my best to learn with my life! But right now I don't know what to do at all... I can't move forward." Tanjiro's voice trails off, you note how disappointed he sounds in himself. "Keep moving forward if you wish to succeed if you really want to become stronger! You don't have any other choice except moving forward!" Blow after blow, Sabito continues to land hits onto Tanjiro, "Let me witness it, your power!" Tanjiro lets out a guttural yell before Sabito crouches down, landing a solid blow under Tanjiro's chin. The blow was so strong it ended up knocking your friend out cold, forcing his body to land harshly against the hard ground.
OW, OW, OW. THAT SOUNDED PAINFUL AS FUCK.
A new figure appears at your side and you jump, startled by the girl now next to you.
JESUS CHRIST YOU SCARED ME.
"I'll leave it to you then," Sabito speaks to the small girl as you stare wide-eyed at the both of them. "So, uh..." Both figures looked down at you, one with a gentle smile on her adorable face and the other seemed annoyed, although you couldn't tell because of the mask.
AHHHH! NOW'S LIKE ONE OF THE ONLY CHANCES I'LL HAVE TO SPEAK TO THEM ALONE SO,
"You were so cool just now!" Your voice was unintentionally loud, causing Makomo to giggle at your enthusiasm. Sabito says nothing as he walks into the mist, disappearing alongside it.
NOOO COME BACK! I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO PROPOSE!
"It's nice to meet you," Makomo's airy voice cuts through the silence and you give her a welcoming smile, "It's nice to meet you too Ma- my friend." You cut yourself off almost accidentally saying her name.
She does not need to know I know who she and Sabito are.
"You speak English?." Moving from your spot under the tree in favor of getting near Tanjiro, you reply, "Uh, yeah." Her head tilts to the side cutely, "Are you a foreigner?" You nod your head in reply and she smiles, "That's really interesting. Oh, but I haven't introduced myself yet... I'm Makomo, the other boy just now is Sabito..."
I can finally call them by their names now. That's good, I don't have to worry about acting like I don't know them, well, I still do, just not strangers.
"It's really nice to meet you Makomo! I'm [Y/N], and my knocked-out friend right here is Tanjiro." Introducing yourself and your partner in crime, you begin to play with his hair, running your hands through his hair.
Soft.
Like a magic touch, Tanjiro begins to stir and slowly comes to. Both you and Makomo lean over his body as he finally opens his eyes, "Are you alright?" Brushing the question off, Tanjiro sits up swiftly and gets close to Makomo's face, "Did you see that move just now? That was an awesome strike! No hesitating or unnecessary movements at all! Very clean! I want to be like that too. I can do it, right? That move just now..." Tanjiro trails off, taking in the fact that a new face has shown up. Makomo takes his silence as an opportunity to speak up, "Of course you can. I'll be there to witness it."
A faint blush spreads across Tanjiro's cheeks before questioning who Makomo was. She gives him the same introduction she had given you and you close your eyes.
Her voice is really nice to listen to.
➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶
After her introduction, she spent the next few minutes giving the two of you tips, pointing out the places where you were lacking, and correcting anything you were doing wrong. Both you and Tanjiro listened attentively, making sure to not miss any information that left her mouth.
God, I'm dumb.
"Why are you helping us?" Tanjiro questions Makomo as she sits atop the boulder. She was currently working on a flower crown, weaving the stems together. Tanjiro's eyes never leave the girl and you shift uncomfortably as you both watch her work. "Where did you two come from?" Finishing the crown, she delicately places it on her head.
"We really love Urokodaki."
A small frown adorns Tanjiro's face, confused as to why the small girl wouldn't answer the question. "Are you and Sabito siblings?" Although you already knew the answer to all of Tanjiro's questions, you pretended to be interested.
Makomo smiles down at you both and shakes her head, "Sabito and I aren't related. Urokodaki took us in and raised us because we were orphans."
Bro, she's speaking in past tense...
She jumps down from the boulder and lands in front of you both, a mist beginning to fill the space around you, "There are other children too. They're all around, watching you both."
Ayo, that's kinda creepy.
Tanjiro's head tilts to the side, expressing his visible confusion. "What do you mean?"
Not elaborating, Makomo changes the topic back to training, "Total concentration breathing... Accelerates your blood flow and heartbeat. Your body's natural temperature also shoots up. You're still human, but you get strong like a demon. You expand your lungs... And bring lots of air into your blood. Your blood gets excited and your bones and muscles thrill. You get hot and strong!"
If I didn't know what that meant already, I'd be so confused right now.
You look beside you and see Tanjiro's puzzled expression,
Me too, Tanji.
"How do we do that?"
"You must train so hard that you could die. There isn't anything else you can do."
Oh boy...
➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶
After Makomo's explanation, both you and Tanjiro continued pushing yourselves to the limits. Each day that passed, you both continuously swung your swords to the point it felt as if your arms would fall off. Even your lungs would scream at you to take a break as your heart would pound against your chest.
I feel like death. Please help meeeee!
Gasping for air, you let yourself ungracefully fall to the ground. The mist that had settled around the area caught your attention as Makomo appeared from behind the trees.
"H-hey Makomo..." Rolling over to your side, you face the girl who had a content smile on her face. "Hello [Y/N], it's a lovely day isn't it?"
You give a slight nod and finally manage to sit up, your breathing finally becoming manageable, "I started training with Tanjiro as soon as I woke up. I really need to get strong enough so Urokodaki-sensei can let me go to the final selection."
She nods her head at your words, "You should take a break, you've been working really hard lately..." Makomo suggests, seeing just how exhausted your figure looked.
You sigh, wanting desperately to sleep the rest of the day, "I can't, I have to keep training... Even through all of this, I'm as successful at slicing this boulder as Tanjiro is at beating Sabito... No offense to him though."
Makomo smiles, "Speaking of those two, we should go see how they're doing... Maybe you could also ask Sabito to spar with you."
Spar with Sabito? I could get stronger that way... And I get to interact with him more.
"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea." Being pulled up by the hand Makomo offered you, you both made your way toward the area the boys were located. Tanjiro lay on the ground, sweat dripping down his face as his arm rested on his forehead.
"Hey guys, the cutest girls have arrived!" You exclaim, Makomo's hand in yours as you approach the boys. "[Y/N]! And Makomo too!"
The boys turn their attention towards you two, with Tanjiro's face expressing his joy at your arrival. "What are you two doing here? Shouldn't you be training?" Sabito's displeasure is vocalized in his tone of voice.
"Aw don't be like that Sabito! Is it so bad that I wanted to see you?" You grin mischievously at the masked boy. The girl beside you giggles and nods her head, "[Y/N] is interested in sparring with you."
"Although if I'm being honest, sparring isn't the only thing I'm interested in when it comes to you."
Damn, I'm really going all out with flirting with Sabito... Jokingly of course.
"Ah, [Y/N]..." Tanjiro's cheeks had an embarrassed blush spread across them, although he still gave you and Makomo a gentle smile.
Precious boy! I'm going to protect you with my life.
"Don't worry Tanjiro! There's no way I could ever forget my partner in crime! The one person who I can't go a day without seeing a smile on their face." You coo at the younger boy, his blush growing brighter.
"Enough with the playing around, you came here to spar, yes? So get ready!"
"Oh, right."
Oh shit, we're actually doing this?
Without a second wasted, Sabito launches himself towards you, his wooden sword already raised above his head, ready to knock you out if you were hit hard enough on the head. Attempting to counter the blow with your own sword, you struggle beneath his strength.
Am I allowed to kick him? I kinda don't wanna hurt him though...
Noticing your hesitance, Sabito takes the opportunity to make a quick jab at your ribs forcing you to clutch your chest in pain. "Ow! Dude, what the fuck?" Sabito scoffs, much to your annoyance, "Don't let your guard down idiot,"
Wow, what a gentleman! He didn't even hesitate to hurt me. Fine, if that's how it's gonna be, two can play that game.
"Well, you shouldn't either!" You attempt to kick his right leg out from under him, but he shifts his weight to his left. He uses his sword to hit the back of your neck, making you stumble forward and faceplant into the ground. "Bruh."
Fastest defeat in the history of mankind... I would not last a second against Kibutsuji.
"[Y/N]! Are you alright?" Giving Tanjiro a thumbs-up in reassurance, you look back up at the peach-haired boy above you, "Never mind then, you're the best... Gosh, you really are amazing, Sabito!" Said boy offers you a hand and you eagerly take it.
"Look at us, already holding hands. Our relationship has reached a new level, next up is our wedding! And yes, that was a proposal."
Let's gooo, proposing to the homies! Who cares if he didn't understand!
As soon as you're on your feet, he quickly releases his hold on your hand and walks away. "Wha- Hey, where are you going?"
"Away from you, you're giving me a headache..."
Wow, I am offended!
"Don't say that! You know you love me!" He stops in his steps and looks back at you, although you can't see his expression, you assume he's giving you a look of annoyance or disappointment, maybe even both as he shakes his head.
What you didn’t know was that instead of annoyance, was a smile beneath his mask.

It's nice out today.
That was your first thought of the morning as you stepped outside to begin your training. Although you and your scarred friend had planned to stay inside for the day due to the rain, Urokodaki had requested you both go out and adjust to the environmental change. "You must learn to fight in different conditions whether they are natural or not. Training in the same good weather will not give you nearly enough experience for your fights with the demons."
I guess that makes sense... Besides the rain isn't that bad, I actually like the rain.
As the rain continued to pour down, you made your way toward your desired area for training. You wouldn't be joining Tanjiro for your usual routine in favor of finally trying to come up with your desired breath style.
Standing in front of the boulder you spend the next few minutes staring at it.
Yeah... I have nothing...
"Damn it, this is so stupid!" You stomp your foot against the ground straight into a puddle of muddy water, dirtying your light blue hakama.
Ah fuck, Urokodaki is gonna kill me now.
"Life is going great!" You let out an exasperated sigh, not caring as you didn't have an audience,
"You really are a mess." A familiar voice cuts through your spiteful thoughts as you spin around to face the boy. Droplets of rain dripped down his mask as he stood with his arms crossed over his chest watching your pitiful state. "Why, hello to you too Sabito." You sigh after greeting the boy.
Do I dare sit on the ground? My clothes are already dirty so I'll have to wash them anyway...
"What's wrong with you? Your face is disturbing me."
"Wh- Don't you dare talk about my face when you haven't even shown yours!" His only response to your statement was a light knock of his fist to your head.
"You never answered my question."
"Huh?"
"I asked what was wrong with you. You never answered."
Staring down at your muddied feet in embarrassment, you avoid eye contact before answering, "I'm trying to come up with my own breath style."
He scoffs, "That's your problem?" He shakes his head as you absentmindedly play with the sleeve of your hakama as your temper begins to rise. "You try to come up with your own breath style! This shit ain't easy dude!"
"Then, if it's so hard for you on your own... I'll help you."
➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶
Another six months passed until the final day Tanjiro would face Sabito. You would have continued your training if it weren't for the fact you desperately wanted to see Sabito's face.
That moment you're only letting yourself take a break cause you want to see some dude's face.
Tanjiro and Sabito stood across from one another, stern expressions never wavering as they stared one another down. Tanjiro's hair had grown out, cascading down to his shoulders. To the side of them were the figures of two girls, Makomo standing in place, and you at her side sitting patiently.
Not like I'll be here for long... This fight is pretty quick in the anime so I don't have to worry about time too much.
The sword at Sabito's side was no longer the familiar wooden one he had appeared with all those months ago, instead it was a real Nichirin blade that shined as he pulled it from its sheath.
"After a year, you finally began to have the appearance of a man," Sabito comments on your burgundy-haired friend as he stood across from him with his own sword drawn.
"I will win today."
"Go Tanjiro! I know you can do it!" Obviously, you would cheer for Tanjiro. Sure, as much as you liked Sabito, you were not going to not show your support for the boy you've known for longer.
It was a pretty straightforward thing. To put it simply, the stronger and faster of the two would win.
Not another second passed before they both lunged forward, fully prepared to inflict some damage on the other. It was a quick fight, and the victor decided in an instant. Tanjiro's blade struck Sabito before the masked male had time to react.
A look of shock swept across Tanjiro's face as you leaned forward, Sabito's own face being revealed from beneath his split-open mask.
Woah... He's so fucking pretty? Pretty boy Sabito! If Sabito looks like this how pretty is Inosuke?
Both Sabito and Makomo smiled at Tanjiro's achievement. Fog began to pool around the area as a sense of mourning, joy, and peace began to fill your body.
"You must win Tanjiro..." Makomo spoke up, although you didn't react to her voice, "Against that person too."
That person? The hand demon or Kibutsuji?
Finally returning to your senses, you look around only to realize Sabito and Makomo were nowhere to be found.
"So... Uh..." The sound of your voice seemed to surprise Tanjiro as he jolted from his thoughts. "Ah, [Y/N]!" You push yourself from the ground only to jump onto Tanjiro's back, forcing him to drop his katana in order to hold you up, "That's a nice rock you got there bud. Can I have the other half?"
"Other half?" He looks back at the boulder only to realize he had somehow managed to slice it in half. "O-oh! I didn't even realize I cut it!" You raise an eyebrow at that remark, "Bro, really? Then... Do you mind helping me cut mine in half? I wanna be there with you at the final selection!"
His grip on you falters, almost accidentally allowing you to choke him if it were for the fact you slid off on your own accord, "C'mon! Help me with my boulder too!" You race off toward the direction of your training spot only to accidentally run into your father Urokodaki himself. "Oof!" Before you could fall, he grabs your shoulders to steady you, "Ah, I'm sorry... And thanks for catching me." Urokodaki simply responds by giving you a head pat.
"The reason I didn't want either of you to go to the final selection, was because I didn't want to see children die of this anymore."
Ah, story progression...
He begins to approach Tanjiro, "But I didn't count on you being able to slice that rock..." He places his right hand on top of Tanjiro's head, "You did well."
Tears begin to well up in Tanjiro's eyes as Urokodaki continues, "Tanjiro, you are an... impressive kid..." Finally allowing his tears to fall, the two embrace each other in what you would describe as a slightly awkward, but loving hug. "You must come back... Alive from the final selection. This old man and your sister will be waiting for you right here."
Well, I didn't need my emotions anyways.

-> first things first, once danny breaks the fourth wall, good luck because bby that man will never leave you alone. he wants your attention on him and him alone. you either main him or risk getting your game glitched out til you do.
-> gets frustrated when you purposely let survivors go. this is not a charity party, this is a hunting trial. thinks you're going too soft and might honestly assume control of himself and take matters into his own hands if you keep it up.
-> depending on his mood, he might or might not care if you accidentally let some slip. it's okay hun everyone makes mistakes (but not 3 in a row). you're not like danny, a ruthless and cold-blooded murderer, so he understands. though if he keeps getting flashbanged he will take matters into his own hands again because he's trying not to go blind before his forties.
-> loves watching you scroll on your phone or eating when you're taking a break from matches. if you don't pay attention to him for long he'll start repeating his basic animations (stab stabby stab stab) until you look up and he can see those pretty eyes of yours again. ♡
-> absolutely despises when you switch to survivor. he doesn't get it. what do they have that he doesn't? what's the fun in being chased and hunted? he's so much more fun and entertaining- you can't just replace him like that.
->danny doesn't care about fashion or his appearance overall. his hair is often messy and with hits of dried blood here and there, and sometimes he forgets to wash himself after a kill but he loves when you buy him cosmetics. maybe it's the way your eyes lit up, or the small comments you make about how 'handsomely gorgeous he looks in red', and he craves that attention.
->believes you two are the match. no other killer or survivor could ever have what you and the ghostface have. his skills and your brains are the ultimate pair, any other could only dream of having a 'relationship' like the two of you have.
->snickers to himself as you make background commentary of how the trial is going, 'wow nea what was that?' 'damn are you just gonna leave your teammate die on first hook?' or his personal favourite... 'ace get your fucking ass off of the balcony right now'
->his dark, cold heart flutters in excitement as he hears you cheer after a 4k or after you get vengeance on some particular sassy survivors who think they can outsmart you. oh, how danny would love to see your hands covered in blood as you digged his blade into the corpses of-
->for now, danny will keep watching and testing his boundaries. his limits. watching you from behind a screen can only satisfy him for so long. he wants the real deal, he craves to feel you, your touch, the softness or roughness of your skin. he wants to show you that he's the only one good enough for you.
A/N: trying a new format of headcanons/stories hehehe
CW/TW: Mentions of suicide
A/N: This has an abrupt ending (I didn't feel like continuing). This is something I've been thinking about for months so I decided to just write it. Not sure if this has been done before, so if it has... whoops?
Btw let me know if you wanna see more of this :D
You didn't know how to feel, or how to think at the moment. It was as if your whole body just shut down at the sight of your best friend, no, that wasn't your friend anymore was it, the villain in front of you.
He was laughing manically like someone had just told him the funniest joke he's ever heard. Normally his laugh would bring you comfort. His laugh would have brought so much warmth to your chest as you stared at his face with a grin of your own.
But this wasn't normal. Nothing about this was normal.
Right in front of you was your best friend who you thought was dead. Your mind flashed to the image of his broken body, sprawled across the cold concrete after he had jumped off your old middle school's rooftop. The image of his still alive body groaning in pain even after he hit the floor. Your screams of agony and loss as you tried to reach him, Bakugo and his "friends" holding you back, shock and fear-ridden across their faces.
No, he had to be dead. There was no way he was alive. He literally committed suicide right in front of your eyes. So why? Why is he here? Why is he with the villains? With All for One?
You felt Bakugo's arms wrap around you, preventing you from falling to the ground. You both stared in shock as Midoriya Izuku, your best friend, stood, alive and well, laughing at the expressions you both were making.
"Ah, Kacchan! [Y/N]chan! It's really good to see you both! It's been a few months, hasn't it? You both go to UA now, right? That's great! I knew you could do it!"

Hard agree with this! OC stuff tagged incorrectly actually annoys the hell out of me!!! 😭
Im gonna scream if I see another fic labeled "x reader" but then the description/summary says sumn like Ophelia Hart comes back to Hawkins for summe-like pls💀
That isnt a reader insert. My name isnt ophelia and I'm poc, definitely not white.
Like please for the love of-
I can't stress enough how much I dislike character x oc fics. Especially one's that arent tagged properly. Absolutely no one scrolling the x reader tag wants to know about sammy smith, or jessica thompson, or natalie byers. Please just tag your fics properly. I'm sure there are plenty of people who enjoy reading oc inserts, for some fandoms I do. But please filter and tag your fics properly. Its frustrating and I feel so annoyed scrolling thru 1, 2-5, FIVE oc insert fics or fics of some other character before I even find an x reader.
Like I filter my tags, I do. But this one fic, wont say which, but this one fic had zero. ZERO, tags for anything oc related, even the pairing said x reader but I start reading? Suddenly my name is (insert name like Madison or Olive), Im apparently blonde and white. Like???🧍

As soon as the three of you make it up the steps, Tanjiro throws open the door of the temple, and both of your eyes widen. The grotesque sight of a demon dining on a deceased person with abnormal amounts of flesh exposed made you sick to your stomach.
Holy shit.
It certainly didn't help that there were two more bodies slumped against the wall. The urge to vomit was very close to becoming a reality. Their blood and remains were carelessly splattered across the surface of the rough wood which brought upon the horrible smell of death that lingered in the air.
Deep breaths [Y/N]. DEEP. BREATHS. WAIT, NO DEEP BREATHS, IT'LL JUST SMELL WORSE.
The demon's seaweed-colored hair stifled in place as he turned to look at your small group. "Hey... This... This is MY territory. Trespassers aren't allowed." The three of you remained frozen in place, you and Tanjiro out of complete shock and horror, and Nezuko out of forceful attempts to restrain herself from her violent impulses.
Okay, I'll be on my way out now.
The temple demon slowly tilted his head and slyly licked off the fresh blood that stained his long fingertips. One of his brows raised in a questioning manner, "Hm? There's something strange... you three..." A triumphant look of realization ultimately beams across his face, "You're human," in a flash, the demon pounced on top of Tanjiro, taking him down with the wall a few inches away from him. You let out a yelp, which finally managed to snap you out of the frozen trance you were stuck in.
OH GOD, WHAT NOW? UM, UH, NEZUKO! WHERE'S NEZUKO??
Quickly turning your attention to Nezuko with wide eyes, you frantically watch as a puddle of drool gathered underneath her as it leaked from beneath her bamboo muzzle. "Nezuko, hey! We gotta help Tanjiro or that demon's gonna kill him! I- I can't fight at all, especially against a demon, so please, help!" Thin crevices instantly appeared in her pale pink eyes, she seemed to completely forget about the lifeless corpses surrounding her as she swiftly made her way toward her brother.
Before he could lose the struggle against the demon, Nezuko gives a strong kick to the demon's head, decapitating it. The head goes up flying into a nearby tree, giving Tanjiro a shock as he desperately pushes the demon's body away from him. "Tanjiro, the demon!" You point in the direction beside him where the demon's body was quickly getting up on its own and seemed a few seconds away from landing a sharp blow on Tanjiro. Before it could do any harm to him, Nezuko once again gives a strong kick sending the body into another tree.
We’re so fucking lucky we have demon Nezuko right now.
Tanjiro's shock is still prevalent as the demon yells out from quite the distance, "AGH BASTARD! I had the impression that one of you was a demon! But that would be too strange... A demon and two humans traveling together!?" Suddenly his scratched-up body lunges at you and you scream, quickly putting your arms up in defense to block your face and neck.
Haha yeah, like that's gonna do anything. Great idea [Y/N]...
Before the demon could even scratch you, Nezuko comes to your rescue and commences to fight with the headless body. Tanjiro's big brother instincts kick in as he swings his axe at the demon's lower back, but before he could land a hit, the head of the demon comes flying in towards the two of you with two arms sticking out where its ears should be.
EW, IT LOOKS MORE FUCKED UP IN PERSON!
Tanjiro counters the charge by efficiently using his axe as a block between the two swinging arms as the demon grabs onto his shoulders. The demon then uses his hair to wrap around the handle of the weapon. "Stop!" Tanjiro yells, before head-butting him twice. The second one finally forces the demon to release his grip on Tanjiro's shoulders.
The amount of power in that head-butt.
Using the head-butt as a distraction, Tanjiro swings the axe into a tree, leaving the demon trapped in a place between the handle and the shaft. The demon's body kicks Nezuko and you panic, "Nezuko!" Remembering you were there with them, Tanjiro's gaze snaps towards you, "[Y/N]! Are you okay?" Tanjiro rushed over to you and frantically checked for any severe injuries. "Hey, hey, calm down Tanjiro! You don't have time to worry about me! We have to go find Nezuko!"
Recognizing Nezuko's name and the danger she was still in, Tanjiro quickly rushes into the forest and keeps you close behind him. "NEZUKO!" Tanjiro yells after his sister, painfully watching her be brutally kicked to the ground. With a wave of strong determination, he tackles down the demon's body, "LEAVE HER ALONE!" Tanjiro sends both of them off the side of the cliff, but before he could fall to his death, Nezuko grabs him by his wrist. Catching up to the siblings, you pant and flinch as you hear the gruesome sound of a *splat* the body made once it hit the ground.
Ew.
The three of you cautiously make your way back towards the temple, finding the demon's motionless head, the only thing remaining from the brutal splat on the ground. Tanjiro's breathing grows heavier as he slowly pulls a dagger out of a wooden sheath, sweat dripping down his forehead as he takes a few hesitant steps forward. "If I don't finish it off, it could attack more people. I have no choice. [Y/N], you should look away..."
Although Tanjiro had softly spoken your name, you didn't bother listening since your thoughts were abruptly interrupted by Urokodaki approaching your friend from the shadows. As he laid a gentle hand on Tanjiro's shoulder, Urokodaki's rough voice seemed to cut through the tension, "You won't be able to kill him with that dull blade..."
Bro, his mask is... a lot creepier in person than it was in the manga...
While you shuffled closer to Nezuko for a sense of security, the two continued their conversation, "Then... How do I finish him?"
Huh... It's weird how I didn't even notice him until he was right next to me. Scary.
"You need to ask? Can you not think for yourself?"
Sure would be nice to be able to understand what they're saying... but it's not like I'm completely lost.
Tanjiro pauses to give you and Nezuko a glance. You spot a large stone and get a good idea...
Hmm what if...
With Tanjiro's attention still directed towards you, you point towards it urging him to pick it up. "You can use that rock to crush the demon's head... Not that you'll actually do it though..." Tanjiro gives a silent nod of his head as he stoops down to pick up the stone. With his new weapon in hand, he stares at the unconscious demon, sweat dripping down his forlorn expression.
Urokodaki continues to watch the boy as he just stands there doing nothing.
When does he get slapped again?
Startling you out of your thoughts was the demon who was desperately reaching his stubby arms out toward Tanjiro. It struggled against the tree, spewing out threats or what you assumed were threats towards Tanjiro.
The sun was beginning to show itself, its rays slowly peeking through the trees.
Oh shit, Nezuko better head inside.
Turning to Nezuko, you use your head to motion towards the temple and the two of you head inside. Once the two of you make it inside, it appeared to be emptier than the first time you had entered.
Oh, the bodies are gone... Did Urokodaki already take them out? How the fuck did he do that without us noticing?
"C'mon Nezuko, let's get you inside your basket." You coo at the demon girl. She happily complies, wanting to stay hidden away from the sun.
Peaking your head out of the temple after hearing a pained scream, you watched as the demon went up in flames and withered away.
That was fucking disgusting.
"[Y/N], where did Nezuko go?" Tanjiro frantically asks you, worried for his sister after seeing the result of a demon touching the sunlight. "Uh, Nezuko's in the temple..." You point towards where you had left the younger Kamado. A breath of relief escapes Tanjiro as he kneels down towards his sister, finally feeling assured of her safety. "Okay, so, are you gonna go talk to Uro- uh, I mean, that man out there?" You question Tanjiro and he looks confused. "Ah, [Y/N]... I still don't know what you're saying... But there's still that man from earlier. Stay here okay [Y/N]?"
Still don't know what you're saying, but I'm gonna follow you since I'm my own boss.
Following Tanjiro, you come across Urokodaki praying over the now newly buried bodies. "Um..." Urokodaki gets up from his position and looks at the both of you, at least that's what you assume he's doing, "I am Urokodaki Sakonji. I assume you are the one Giyuu spoke of?"
Giyuu?
"Y-yes. I'm Kamado Tanjiro. My sister's name is Nezuko, and the other girl-”, ''Tanjiro." Urokodaki cuts him off from continuing his sentence.
Rip, I didn't even get introduced...
"Hm, I do wonder... what will you do when your sister decides to feast on a human?" Tanjiro looked shocked, appearing unable to respond to what the older man had questioned. Before you could break the silence, Urokodaki had taken the opportunity to slap Tanjiro across the face.
And there it is...
"You hesitate too long," Tanjiro slowly places a hand over his now reddened cheek "You are slow to finish things. You couldn't even finish the demon before daybreak. The reason why you didn't answer my question without pause is due to your own determination lacking." He takes a deep breath before continuing, "If your sister were to eat someone, there are two very important things you must do. Kill her and then slit your own stomach. That is the high price of traveling with your demon sister. You must ingrain it in your heart that this is something that must not happen. By all means, do not ever let your sister take an innocent life. It must not come to pass. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
That was pretty serious... If I remember correctly, this was when he told Tanjiro not to let Nezuko kill or something...
"YES," Tanjiro gives a surprisingly loud shout, "Bro, it is way too early for you to be this loud right now." Tanjiro jumps in place, startled by your presence, "[Y/N]! When did you get here?" You deadpan, "Did you not notice me behind you this whole time?"
It's like he doesn't use his nose unless the plot demands it.
"You," Urokodaki speaks up once again looking at you, "What is your name?" "Uh-" Tanijiro cuts you off quickly speaking in your place, "Oh, this is [Y/N]. She doesn't speak Japanese so she doesn't understand what we're saying right now." His face softens as he turns to look back at you, "We ran into each other yesterday, and even though we've had trouble communicating... I don't plan on leaving her any time soon."
WHAT'S WITH THE WHOLESOME LOOK HE'S GIVING ME?
"It's about time you introduce me, Tanji! But if you're talking shit I'll kill you-" "Tanji?"
"So she's a foreigner? That is a bit troubling..." Urokodaki turns his back to the two of you still seeming in deep thought, "Well then... I will proceed to test your abilities to find out if you have what it takes... to be a demon slayer."
lol, what's with all the dramatic pauses?
"Bring along your sister and your companion and come with me."

It was now around midday. The three of you had been running for a couple of hours now and you were exhausted. I mean, who in the right mind would run for so long? You can barely get out of bed sometimes! It was very apparent that you were falling behind, unable to catch up to the two of them.
How the hell is Tanjiro carrying Nezuko on his back and still able to beat me? Hah, not me having the advantage and STILL being slower.
Although you were on the edge of collapse, you persisted and forced yourself to continue.
I gotta do this to become a demon slayer! I need to be strong so I can save everyone!
Finally reaching your destination, your legs hit the ground as you use Tanjiro to steady yourself. The two of you were panting heavily, and all you wanted was to crawl into bed and pass out. "So... So now... Did I..." Tanjiro was just barely wheezing out words at this point, but you couldn't focus. Too busy concentrating on your own breathing. "...Pass the test?" Unlike Tanjiro and yourself, Urokodaki hadn't broken a single sweat, his breathing remaining steady as he once again speaks up, "The test starts now. Hike through the mountain."
Tanjiro's eyes widened, his mouth agape, and his hair ruffled up. The sight alone had you covering your mouth to stifle your laughter. "Hey, don't laugh at me [Y/N]." Tanjiro pouts, "Tanji, you are literally the cutest person I've ever met." He shakes his head, unable to understand you, "You should stay here, I'll be back soon so don't worry!" He pats your head, struggling to stand up and follow Urokodaki.
Wait, don't leave me!
You quickly get up to chase after them, "Wait! I wanna come too!" They both stop in their tracks, turning to face you as Tanjiro speaks up, "[Y/N], Urokodaki-san and I..." He points to himself and Urokodaki respectively, "Are going up the mountain..." He points upwards of the trail they were going to take and uses his hands to make a walking motion, "You," He points towards you, "Should stay down here where it's safe." Ending his sentence by pointing toward Urokodaki's home.
Yeah... Not gonna happen, buddy.
"Nah, I'm coming with you. I'm not taking no for an answer." You grab onto Tanjiro's arm with a grin, "Ah, I guess there's no arguing with you, huh?" Tanjiro sweat drops a bit.
Going further and further up the mountain, it became more difficult to breathe properly as the heavy fog began to cover your surroundings.
I feel.. dizzy.
Turning your attention to Tanjiro, you notice that his eyes were bloodshot.
Well, at least it's not just me about to drop to the ground.
Urokodaki speaks up after coming to a stop, "Your goal is my house at the foothills of the mountain. This time I won't wait until dawn... The same goes for the girl." Like a blanket, the fog covers his body, blocking him away from your vision. Once it clears, Urokodaki is no longer there.
That's cool as shit. I need to get him to teach me how to do that.
"Uh..." Tanjiro turns to you, a visible look of concern on his face, "Don't worry! With my nose, we should find our way back without a problem! I remember Urokodaki-san's scent, so we'll find our way-" Pulling you forward as he takes a couple of steps, he trips over a rope that was hidden by the fog. "Huh, a rope?"
God damn it Tanjiro!
Rocks come flying out, hitting not only Tanjiro but you as well, "OW! THAT HURT LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER!"
"AHH, [Y/N]! Are you okay?" You shoot him a look of disbelief, "DO I LOOK OKAY?" He flinches, taking a step back into another trap, a pitfall to be exact. "UWAH!" Rushing over to the hole, you reach out for Tanjiro expecting him to take your hand. Accidentally triggering another trap, Tanjiro jumps up, blocking your body from being hit by a log being flung your way. The two of you are thrown to the ground, pain evident all over your faces, "This is REALLY bad! There are traps all over the mountain and the air is much thinner here than on the mountain I used to live on!" Tanjiro shoots you a look of concern, obviously worried about your well-being with all the traps around. "[Y/N]!"
"What?" He grabs your hand and points to his nose, "Stay next to me at all times! I'll use my nose to sniff out the traps and protect you!" "Uhh, alright dude."
That nose of his is finally being used by the plot.
Watching him in full concentration, the two of you eventually make some progress down the mountain, constantly being hit by traps the two of you accidentally trigger. Through the pain, you both thought of what motivated you to continue.
I need to get stronger in order to fight and protect them!
Hours later the two of you finally reach your destination. Tanjiro hurriedly opens the door to Urokodaki's residence with you at his side. Both of you were quite bruised and a bit bloodied, Tanjiro more so than you. For the most part, Tanjiro had been using his body as a shield and had been there to break your fall more often than not. You both end up collapsing at the entrance from exhaustion as Urokodaki approaches you.
"I've come to recognize your abilities... Kamado Tanjiro, [Y/N]."
Saving this for later 😌
