kimetsu no yaiba getting stuck in an isolated island

aka

kimetsu no flies comment here if you get it

tanjiro opened his eyes.

he was in an unfamiliar land consisting mostly of sand, palm trees, and water.

water?

water.

he needed water.

it was so hot he thought rengoku's face was in the sky.

tanjiro immediately began to approach the waves that lapped gently at the edge of the sandy place, wherever it was, then realized in a sudden snapping sort of sense he couldn't drink salt water.

he held off despite his growing thirst.

i forgot how the book went, so let's just go by the storyline while changing stuff.

he looked into the deep, dark forest that stretched out far beyond his vision, the thick underbrush and dense foliage concealing the rest of the area from an onlooker. suddenly, as he was beginning to be taken in by the song of the waves that sounded as if they were going "hee hee" in which he couldn't determine was either mock or pure joy, something moved in the leaves.

he stared.

what's the worse that could happen?

at least he was sure his sister nezuko wasn't here, in this desolated island of no purpose and no end, and that made him accepting of his impending death by whatever hid behind the bushes.

then a flash of yellow filled his vision, and he was suddenly tackled to the ground, a loud, crying voice deafening him for a second.

"hELLDHSHVSPOOXODDJBDBOPOPPPPP"

"... uh."

"hEGLP MGNFHEEEEEE"

"sir i don't understand. are you hungry?"

the person with bright yellow hair slapped tanjiro.

tanjiro was surprised.

he made a pikachu face.

"HUNGER IS THE LAST OF MY CONCERNS BUT YEAH I AM DAMMIT."

"ohhh. but why did you slap me? did you really need to do that? in what way was it necessary? is that how you usually treat people you meet for the first time?"

fear could be seen in the fake blonde's eyes; this was reminiscent of getting scolded by a mother after one failed to talk respectfully to their elders. he settled down, wiped the snot off his face and plopped himself down on the sand obediently as tanjiro got up as well.

"i understand you're scared, but it's not going to help you in any way if you're rude to strangers."
"i understand."
"yay, good boy, good boy."
"am i a dog?"
"no, sorry. this is how i treat my younger siblings."
"you got siblings?"
"a lot! there's..." tanjiro went on to share adventures with his younger brothers and sisters, to the blonde, who seemed to be constantly going in and out of focus.

then, the earth shook.

"what? what's going on?" the blonde asked no one in particular.

a group of people emerged from the trees, led by a suspicious individual with a boar mask over his head.

... actually, it was a boar's head over his head.

realization hits about a disgusting scene that one would definitely associate with the current topic at hand if they knew what truly happened in the original lord of the flies book, but of course, i would not be including that, as this, although horny, is still a family-friendly book.

"haaaaaaa my name's hashibira inosuke and these are my dudes! bow before me i will be your ruler hngggg"

"why is he flexing his muscles?! why is he flexing his muscles??? and isn't he supposed to have clothes?" the fake blonde was hysteric.

"sigh yare yare seems like i have to use my psychic powers."
"shut the hell up; your forehead's large but you don't have any psychic powers! why are you borrowing someone else's lines anyways?"
"aw."
"don't 'aw' me! this boar guy is giving me the creeps!"

tanjiro faced the boar guy and smiled.

"please cooperate."

for some reason, the aggressive boar guy settled down. we will never know what kind of smile he'd seen, but this was for the greater good.

the three of them, including the boar guy's gang, sat in a circle.

"let's start the introductions. i'm hashibira ino--"
"you've already kinda said that though."
"you wanna go, blondie?!"
"sorry, i only do this with ono d*isuke."
"everyone, calm down. i'm murata." a nothing-special guy claimed from the other side of the circle. he had black hair and irises; features that would render him completely disqualified for at least a supporting character role in a shounen series, let alone a main character.

"i'm murata B. nice to meet you."
"i'm murata C."
"my name's murata D."

they were all muratas.

"i'm kamado tanjiro."
the fake blonde cautiously eyed everyone and his head sunk lower as he announced his own name. "zenitsu. agatsuma zenitsu."
"i'm haSHIBI--"
"so anyways," tanjiro picked up a conch shell from his side. "let's advance the story. whoever has this would act as the leader since we kiiinda really need to be organized. everyone, make sure to obey onii-chan now since i have the shell, okay?"

"okaaay!" all the muratas replied in unison.

if we were using japanese, i would definitely have made a pun with murata but i'm saving everyone the cringe.

"huhhh? the heck would i, the great hashibira inosuke, listen to you???"
"because we need to be organized!" tanjiro pouted.
inosuke froze.
zenitsu stared.

the muratas went to gather fruits for dinner and some wood to use for the campfire. later that evening, they all realized they might never be rescued. they also realized the world felt different, as if they were supposed to under a sky that was not this one. everything felt like a lie.

technically, it is, but give them a break.

that morning, they had a meeting.

zenitsu proposed the usage of fire to signal boats at sea.

everyone said "ok".

zenitsu was proud.

be like zenitsu and be proud of the little things you achieve because life isn't the same for everyone.

they went on this way for days and it was pretty peaceful until that time inosuke and his murata friends went to hunt for food, all tired of the fruits and other such vegan stuff they've been eating so far.

they reported this to tanjiro, who was currently thinking about his sister and wondering whether or not she was eating properly, thus simply nodded without paying much heed to the boar man's gang. zenitsu was asleep.

inosuke gang went to hunt.

yay they defeated a boar, climbed the trees, sailed across the seven seas and found the legendary stick where they put the dead pig's head upon.

they returned and everyone celebrated as they cooked the meat, something they haven't had in such a long time. due to this, the fire at the top of the mountain went out, and a passing ship couldn't see their smoke signal.

zenitsu was furious, and he voiced this out the the muratas.

"hey, you guys! i told you to watch the fire! that was our opportunity to escape from this wretched place!"

murata 1, munching on his portion, looked up with eyes that frightened zenitsu; they looked like a starving animal's, as if he'd already reached the peak of his sanity and transcended that which is not supposed to be.

"huh?" he threw his meat at murata 2.

i realize that sounded a little misleading but i'll keep it because we're definitely a child-friendly community.

"you yelling at me, buckteeth?"
"what do my teeth have to do with this?"
"shut the hell up, fake blonde." murata 3 joined in.
"i-- you're not wrong but that's a little..."

tanjiro clapped his hands and raised the shell they found a few days ago.

"guys. listen to me. it's not the time to be fighting. inosuke and his friends did a little oopsie this time but let's use the food they got to recover our energy so we can do better tomorrow, okay?" he smiled.

"..."
"..."
"aight man." murata sat back down and resumed eating.

"what were you doing anyways, tanjiro? weren't you watching them?"
"... tee-hee sorry(๑>؂<๑)"
"
zenitsu looked on in shock.

"speaking of... where's inosuke?"
"ah, he said he had stuff to do."

little did they know inosuke and the muratas have gone through a transformation during the time they had hunted down the pig.

inosuke stood at the edge of a cliff, overlooking the resonance of the sky snd the sea, the breeze bringing the distinct smell of normalized carnage and discord to his nostrills, and he inhaled, deeply, deeper, then released his breath with an air of finality and a sense of stability within himself.

he painted two strikes of red over his face.

"i am a hunter."
