~Chapter 13~


Nezuko said, "Give me everything you got!" 

Zen and Soichi was running through the house as they pant with total sweat, "C'mon , Nezuko. Where are you right now?" 

He thought in his mind, "I still hear that creepy sound throughout the house. Ooh, I hope you know what you're doing, Nezuko. 

Be safe, ok?"

Soichi asks, "Um, Zenitisu? I could be imagining things, or does it look like we've been running around in circles?"

Zen looks at the young boy, "For real?!? Man, you have a keen eye, Soichi!" 

He suggested, "How about we stop and check on this room? I mean, you're the Demon Slayer, you should do it!" 

"Awe , all right! Geez, don't give me that expression!" The Demon Slayer said, as both of the boys begin to investigate. 

As he sighs, "It seems safe, let's go here." 

The boys continued on their way , as then , the house was flipped over again! "The room, is flipped over! Oh, co'mon!" Zen said. 

They made it outside. 

Meanwhile, Nezuko was tossed over the place, as the demon bangs on the drums. 

Nezuko thought, "I can do this! I'm the only one who can finish off this demon! " 

She fights the pain she had felt, as she gets up, "Well, broken bones or not, I'm going to surpass my limits!" 

The demon said, "This is so annoying! I have to eat marchi now!" 

Nezuko was able to wistand the attacks as she asks, "Hey, what's your name, anyway?"

The demon was caught off guard of that a human like Nezuko asks for his name. 

"Kyogai." He replied to her. 

She said, as she lands, "Kyogai! There is no way that Kyioshi , the machei would be yours! I will never give up to anyone who likes to think for themselves!" 

The demon had a flashback before becoming a demon. 

"Give up, will you? You're pathetic." 

The demon said to Nezuko, "I will have the machei and receive my place as one of the Twelve Kizuki!" 

Nezuko sees the number eye as she was surprised of encountering one of the Twelve Kizuki. 

She thought, "Ok, this has to end now." 

Kyogai makes massive drum patterns as he thought back of his life. 

"Give up, will you? You're pathetic. Your writing stinks. You'll never be a good writer." 

Kyogai yells, "You get out of my sight right now! Rapid drumming!" 

Nezuko thought, "He's going to strike them faster now?!? This is insane!" 

Nezuko went over the papers in front of her as Kyogai was amazed of her. 

She realized what happened as she thought, "I got it now. " 

"Because I dodged the papers , I can move without being concerned about my broken bones! Also I know how to breathe too!" 

She took several breaths as she thought, "Take shallow breathes , quickly! Use the breathing as a method to reinforce the muscles in your body and your broken leg. And just before the claw attack, there's the scent of mold coming right at you." 

She sniffs the air, and she predicted where the claw attack was coming from. "All right, there comes the attack!" 

The demon was stunned at her as Kyogai thought, "She's evades my attacks! " 

Nezuko took a deep breath as she thoughts, "Total Contraction, Water Breathing! Ninth Form, Splashing Water Flow, Turbulent!" 

"Minimize the landing time and area as soon as possible!" 

Kyogai realizes what is happening, as he thought, "She adapting to the sudden changes ! T-That's impossible." 

"Keep going! Don't stop! Go straight into his face!" 

Nezuko sees the opening thread as she thought, "I see the opening thread!" 

Nezuko yells at the demon, "Kyogai! Your Blood Art is truly amazing! I never seen anything like that before! " 

She slices the demon's head off with her sword . 

Nezuko took a deep breath as she finished, but she realize that was a massive mistake on her part. 

"Oh, crap! I took a breath! It pains so much!" She thought. 

She collapse to hold in the pain, "It's all right. I'm the eldest daughter. I have to endure it all in. " 

As she was holding in the pain, Kyogai ask, "Hey. Girl. You honestly think my Demon Art was amazing? " 

Nezuko said, "Yeah. It was amazing. I truly meant what I had said. Honestly, I never thought of seeing that type of Demon Art like that all my life. 

Although, I can't forgive you for killing all those innocent people. " 

Kyogi was reicent for a moment then he said, "I see." 

Nezuko said, "Oh, yeah. I almost forgotten that I had to get your blood sample. " 

She threw the container she had brought along with as it sticks of getting the blood sample before the demon completely disappears . 

"Wow. It really sticks right where it needs to be. I can't think anything like Yushiro does. " Nezuko thought. 

Suddenly, a cat appears in front of her. "Wait, since when a cat arrived here, to this mansion?!? 

Oh, you must be a cat delivering the blood sample that I've collected to Ms. Tamayo, huh?" 

She pets it, "Here you go. Say hello to Ms. Tamayo and Yushiro for me ." 

The cat disappears in front of her as Nezuko thought, "It's under the spell that Yushiro made. As I recall, it would be invisible until it meowed, and it meowed the second time, it disappears. " 

She realizes that she has to rescue Teruko and Kiyoshi. 

"Teruko! Kiyoshi! I hope you two are all right." She thought as she went to find the siblings. 

Kyogi thought, "So.. my writing wasn't pathetic . At least not to that kid." 

Nezuko bowed in respect, "Rest in peace. " 

She rushed through the house, "Teruko! Kiyoshi! You guys! " 

She found the siblings as she was hit by them. "Ow! You guys! That hurt!" She said, as Kioyshi and Teruko realizes it was her. 

"Oh, Nezuko! Thank goodness you're safe. We're sorry about that. When the drum vanished, we sort of panicked and don't know who is coming . " Kioyshi apologizes for their behavior .

"Well, that is reassuring and um, please don't do that again, ok? I'm just relieved you're both all right. C'mon, we have to find your brother and Zen." Nezuko said. 

She turns around, "Kioyshi, you can climb into my back, I'll carry you. " 

"You sure? " He asks of her friend. She nods as the boy went up to her back. 

As they walk, Nezuko asks Kioyshi, "Hey, Kioyshi, I'm meaning to ask, is your leg all healed since I left?"

He nods, "Yep! The medicine you put on it is all healed up, so I can walk with ease." 

"Good. At least I don't need to worry about that." She replied to the boy, "I think I can see the exit from here. " Nezuko said. 

She sniffs the air, "I can smell Zen and Shoichi's scent . They must've been outside for a while now. They seem to be safe." 

Suddenly, she smelled blood! "No way! A scent of Blood!" Nezuko thought. 

"What's up? Is something wrong?" Kiyoshi asks. 

"I'm not sure, but we have to hurry." Nezuko said. 

Zen was protecting Tanjiro's box from the boar boy as he was taking a lot of hits from him. 

Nezuko was shocked when she sees her friend in total pain as she knew that Zen was protecting her brother from danger. 

Zen said, "Nezuko. I did as I promised. I protected the box. Because you said ... that it is more precious to you as your own life. " 

In a flashback, Zen and Shoichi was able to get out of the mansion outside. 

Zen thought, "Well, I did have a good hearing. One time, I knew exactly what the others were saying while I was asleep, and it creeped everyone out. 

I'm not hearing any more sounds from the mansion . It seems like Nezuko really defeated that demon, huh?"

Soichi said, "Zen! Zenitsu! Wake up , please!" 

He woke up as he was relieved. "Thank god! You're awake! How you feel?" 

He got up as Soichi explains, "When the room flipped, we got out of the house. We fell out of the second story window it seems. " 

"Oh. I guess that is explaining how we ended up here. " 

"I knew you were protecting me, and when we got out, I was worried about you." He replied. 

"Well, I'm fine. I'm just glad you're here." Zen said. 

Zen touches his head as he removes it, he sees his blood coming out! 

"Oh, man! I must've hit my head when I fell! " Zen panicked as Soichi nods, "Yep, you sure did." 

They hear laughter coming out as he said, "What is that?" 

They hear a voice, "Ready or not, here I come! " 

The boar boy came out as Zen said, "That guy again! Seriously?!? The boar boy?!?" 

The boar boy said, "I have a demonic feeling in here. " 

That was when Zen realizes who the boy was. "Wait a sec! Now I remember! He's the fifth survivor of the Final Selection! 

He's so impatient!" 

The boy notices Tanjiro's box, as his eyes were sent on it. 

The boy said, "I found it!" 

Zen rushes towards the boy, protecting the box, "Knock it off! " 

The boy looks at the Demon Slayer, "Who are you? Get out of the way!" 

"No, I wouldn't do that! I'm Zenitsu Agatsuma! I'm a Demon Slayer in the Demon Crops, like you!" He said. 

"The Demon Slayer Crops , you say? Then you know what needs to be done here!" He said. 

"I'm not moving an inch! This belongs to Nezuko! She needs-" He said, but the boy didn't care to listen to what he had to say. 

"If you don't move, then , I will demolish you and this box!" He said. 

"Inside this box, is something you wouldn't touch! Not on my watch! " Zenitsu said. 

"You didn't know that is a demon inside that box?!? We have to get rid of it before it does any more damage! Haven't you forgotten all about that?!?" The boar boy yells. 

Zen said, "I've known about that from the very start when I met Nezuko! " 

Zenitsu thought, "I known that you were traveling with a demon, Nezuko. The demon sounds aren't the same as human sounds. 

I can pick up a sound so gentle and kind from her, it makes me want to cry. So kind that I've never heard before. 

All living things have a constant sound. The world is full with these sounds. I knew that Nezuko was traveling with a demon. I know that she has a reason for doing what she had done. And that is what I believed in!" 

Zen said, "I... I'm going to ask Nezuko myself! Why she went this far, to travel with a demon! I'm not going to lose our friendship! So, back off!" 

The boar boy kicked Zenitisu out of the way, as he was about to hurt Tanjiro, Zen said, as he pushed him away from the box, "This is precious to Nezuko! I'm not letting you go near it!" 

"Dammit! Get out of the way!" He said, as Zen said, "I'm not going to do it! Nezuko will come back for sure!" 

Nezuko was shocked of seeing him in pain, as he said, "Nezuko, I protect it. Because you said.. You said that this is precious to you than your own life." 

The boar boy said, "Hey, draw your sword! If you're a Demon Slayer fight me!" 

Nezuko had a flashback on the day she found her entire family dead right in front of her. The only thing that important to her now, was her older brother, Tanjiro. 

Nezuko couldn't bear of seeing Zen getting beaten to death, as she yelled, "Hey! Knock it off! " 

She dashed into the fight, as she was pissed off of a fellow Demon Slayer hurting each other, "Knock it off!"
