-some segments in this chapter take details from hell's villain(chainsaw man x male reader) posted on wattpad-

-------------------

for a brief moment...

All are quiet.

kobeni and arai stared at them.

katana man and sawatari looked back.

kobeni gripped his knife tighter.

sawatari took a deep breath and slowly raised his hand.

"snake, tail!!!" sawatari raised his hand, pointed down and a giant snake tail appeared, flying towards the human demon hunters. Arai lowered himself to the ground. However, kobeni was one step ahead, jumping up and clinging to the tail. She broke into a sprint, running alongside the snake and toward her goal.

"What the hell?! is she a monkey?!" Katana man's eyes widened at kobeni's speed, he pointed his gun at her, trying to shoot while she was running on the snake demon's tail. In just a moment, she was close to him, dodged the shot and turned around. in the air while cutting off the katana man's arm. She grabbed the gun in the air, landed behind the katana man and fired three shots straight into his back. Sawatari gritted her teeth and aimed her gun at the kobeni, trying try to hit her.

"damn...KON!!!" Arai shouted, raising her hand down with a sign that resembled a foot. The sawatari's eyes widened as she saw the fox demon's giant foot appear above her, the fox demon thumping hard on where she was standing. She rushed forward, grabbed the katana man's corpse and dragged him into the car.

"damn it...Die in the car you idiot!" she shouted, throwing the katana man into the trunk of the car and slamming it shut. She ran aside, jumped into the driver's seat and raced down the road while kobeni was staring.

"damn, I should have destroyed the car!" Arai shouted, running to kobeni. "are you OK?" He asked kobeni.

Kobeni: "s-sorry for letting you get shot, arai"

Kobeni did not answer arai's question, only apologizing for the wound on his shoulder.

{back to a few minutes ago}

"KOBENI, GET AWAY!!"Arai shouted, trying to push kobeni away.

"Huh?"kobeni turned around and saw the woman reaching into her coat.

"KOBENIIII!" Arai shouted, imagining the worst

Kobeni immediately moved, stabbing her knife into the old woman at crazy speed. She looked straight into the old woman's eyes, trembling.

"Ah" She stared into the old woman's blurred eyes. "I'm sorry...I just...I'm sorry!" She stepped back as the old woman still stared at the knife stuck in her chest. The old woman used the last of her strength to pull out the gun, pointing it. towards the trembling kobeni.

"Kobeni, duck!"Arai stepped in at the last moment, rushing straight at her as the gun went off. The bullet flew forward, passing straight through arai and kobeni's shoulders as they fell to the ground. The old woman leaned back and was motionless, died of blood loss. Kobeni sat there, stunned as arai groaned in pain, clutching his bloody shoulder.

{back to present}

"you covered me...b-because I stiffened after stabbing her...if you were in any other position..."Kobeni shivered, imagining arai being hit by a hole in the head.

"Kobeni..."arai muttered, looking at her worriedly

"Y-you will die...with her...and m-both of your blood will be on my hands...!"kobeni shivered, hugging her shoulders. "And it's all...because of I"Kobeni was on the verge of mental collapse.

"kobeni!!!" kobeni flinched as arai grabbed her shoulders, gripping them tightly and looking straight into her eyes. "Don't care about it, if we weren't together we'd probably both die!!

Kobeni: "but...but..."

Arai: "it's okay!kobeni...you're amazing! please don't blame yourself!"

Arai had a trembling smile on his face

Kobeni: "th-thanks, I guess"

am 11:48

The war with the unknown terrorists is over.

Miraculously, no deaths were reported.

The terrorists were defeated by mysterious forces before they could kill the other demon hunters

Most of the demon hunters in the Tokyo department gave up after this attack.

____________________________

Aki slowly woke up, opened her eyes and turned her head to where Denji, Power and Pochita were sitting. Denji chewed on an apple while reading a manga, while Power was staring at the apple longingly.

Power:"give me the apple!!"

Denji: "Go get it from the basket"

Power: "no! give me your apple!"

Aki: "hey..."

Everyone stiffened when aki spoke.

Aki: "Did anyone...in team 4 die?"

Denji: "no one died"

Aki: "huh?!"

Aki opened her eyes wide and looked at Denji with a surprised face.

Aki: "re-really?"

Denji: "yeah, except for me, himeno and scarface guy who were all injured, no one died, but most people gave up after this incident"

Aki didn't say anything, just remained silent

"well...we're leaving, have a good rest" denji hugged pochita and left with power, he left the apple basket for aki.

Aki: "denji, can you stay for a bit?"

Denji stopped, letting the power out first.

Denji: "What's wrong?"

Aki: "you...are a devil?"

Aki looked at denji with a serious face. At this question, denji just sighed.

Denji: "You're the second person to ask me this question. I'm human, that's all."

Denji left leaving aki sitting on the hospital bed, he stared at the door for a moment then picked up the nail sword and pulled it out.

Aki:"curse...how much do I have left?"

A dark shadow appeared behind him.

Demon curse: "two years"

Aki's hand shook as he put down the sword. He sighed, reached for the cigarette pack and lighter. He pulled out the lighter, brought the cigarette to his lips and lit it a few times.

In the light emitted from the lighter, he seemed to be able to see himeno's face.

In that moment, he saw again the image of himeno injured and covered in blood.

You're so useless.

No matter how much effort you put in, you won't achieve anything.

He's too weak to protect himself, let alone protect himeno.

Perhaps he himself had reached his limit.

Aki started to cry as these thoughts ran through his head, he lowered his head, tears streaming down his face.

Aki: "I...I...I want to become stronger..."

As for denji, right now he was standing in front of aki's hospital room. The bald boy was about to go in to get the story book he had forgotten inside, but when he heard aki's sobs, denji stopped.

Denji:"he...crying?"

Denji heard aki's mutterings because the bald boy's ears were also quite good.

Denji himself also understands those wishes. Because before, there were many times he had to cry because of his own weakness. For a long time, Denji had forgotten the feeling of joy when he narrowly won or the times when he had to shed bitter tears when he failed. But when he achieved the power he wanted, he now felt feels so empty. It makes denji feel like he lives in a different world than everyone else around him.

But this is the path he has chosen, no matter how much he regrets it. He opened his palm, looking at it with dark and empty eyes.

Denji:(it's just... I didn't expect it to be so lonely)

Denji feels lonely not because of the power he possesses but because he has always fought alone.

The bald boy looked up and saw power and pochita staring at the vending machine, trying to understand how the machine worked. Denji stood up, scratching his bald head.

Denji: "Why think too much? Power, let's go pochita"

Pochita: "woof!"

Power:"bald! Don't give me orders!"

________

Aki wiped away the drops on her face. He stopped when the door opened.

"Himen-oh" Aki opened her eyes wide, only to see two demon hunters, a man and a woman with scars running across the bridge of their noses.

Tendo:"oh, sorry for bothering you"

Kurose: "ahhhh, he's crying"

Aki: are you two...?"

Tendo:"I'm tendo and he's kurose. We're from Kyoto. Makima asked us to train the rest of team 4."

Aki:"training?"

_________

Denji, pochita, power and makima were now in a demon hunter graveyard, a grassy steppe studded with holy trees that seemed to stretch to the horizon.

Makima: "with recent events, it can be said that pochita is very sought after, I also thought about coaching the 4th team but most gave up"

Denji: "So who will train us?"

Makima: "we're almost to that person"

They stopped when they saw a tall man standing in front of a tombstone.

Makima: "This person's name is..."

???:"sh-shut up"

The man suddenly spoke hoarsely and lowly, making the makima silent.

???: "answer my question"

???:"one, how do you feel when your comrades die?"

Denji: "I don't feel anything"

Power:"like" dead" like that"

"Woof" pochita barked with a sad look on his face.

???:" hai, do you want revenge?"

Denji: "I don't care much about revenge, but if I can prevent another person from dying, I will do it"

"Woof!" pochita barked with anger on his face.

???:"three, are you on the human side or the demon side?"

Denji poked his nose with his pinky finger and said "don't choose"

Power: "Which side prevails"

"Woof!" Pochita barked as she pointed the saw blade above her head at denji.

After hearing the answers just now, the man turned his head and pointed at power.

???:"And that bald guy got 60 points, and that dog, I don't understand anything"

Denji: "Why did I only get 60 points?"

???:" because in your second answer, it smells like a hero, and this profession doesn't need heroes but daredevils, but you two can also be called heroes. rare, I like it"

Then the man turned to makima.

???:" makima, you can go home now"

Makima left, leaving the trio with the man, who suddenly took them both by the shoulders and began to introduce himself.

???:"I'm kishibe, demon hunter of team 1, I like to be called teacher. I like alcohol, women and killing demons"

Kishibe started choking both of them with great force, which caused the pochita who was standing on the ground to bark loudly. Denji did not react but kept his indifferent face. Power continued to struggle, clutching the arm that was clamping his neck and then...

Crack

The sound of broken bones came from power's neck, kishibe dropped them both, pochita hurriedly ran to denji, and power couldn't move, always moaning in pain.

Kishibe: "Even if you're a demon, your body structure is still the same as a human's... just break your neck and you're done... but the difference is..."

Kishibe took out a bag of blood from his pocket. Smelling the blood, power's eyes lit up and saliva flowed, kishibe poured the entire blood bag into power's mouth.

Kishibe: "the difference is that demons can heal with blood"

After pouring out the blood bag, kishibe immediately turned to denji.

Kishibe: "Kid, your durability is amazing considering you didn't take any damage from the pinch just now, but I still need to check to make sure it wasn't a trick."

Kishibe took a defensive stance, moving so fast that even his power couldn't keep up. Kishibe threw a punch straight at Denji's face. In an instant, denji threw a superficial punch at kishibe but he promptly blocked it and was pushed back.

Kishibe: "that's great"

Kishibe approached denji again but he immediately appeared in front of him. Immediately, kishibe launched a kick but denji appeared behind him and tried to knock him down before kishibe moved aside and dodged denji's attack.

Kishibe:"Stop. The test is over. You have proven yourself strong enough to take care of yourself"

He took out a bottle of wine from his pocket and drank it.

Kishibe: "Please introduce yourself again, I'm Kishibe. How about you?"

Denji: "I'm denji, just a demon hunter for fun"

Kishibe: "Oh, that explains why you didn't take the test seriously"

Kishibe turned to Power, who was still overwhelmed after the recent battle.

Kishibe: "now it's your turn"
