"Someone's here..." Tanjiro suddenly said. I turn my head to look at the door. It slides open to reveal what seem to be a man. But I know for sure he isn't one. He's a demon. How did it get here??

-Endless Threats-

Y/N P.O.V

I stare at the demon. He have a huge lump right on his forehead. Muichiro-San is the first to attack the demon using his Mist Breathing Technique. But his attack missed and the demon is now hanging off of the ceiling.

"Please... stop bullying me..." the demon cried out. I feel an ache in my chest at the sound of his voice. It reminded me of myself when those people would torment me. Ugh, what am I thinking??

I quickly reach out to grab my sword. I lift my free hand and extent the blade.

I hold the hilt with both of my hands as I focus on the demon. Muichiro-San attacks the demon again, leaving smoke around us. I feel something else appears around us. When the smoke clears, there's another demon.

This demon's aura feels different from the other one. Muichiro-San rushes forward to strike. But the demon lower his hand, which is holding some sort of leaf fan. My eyes widened when Muichiro-San gets blown away by a strong wind.

"Muichiro-San!!" I yelled out. I watch as he keeps getting further and further. I click my tongue in annoyance. I turn to look at the demon. "You'll pay for what you did to my friend!" I said, glaring at the demon.

I lunges at the demon, only to have the demon blocked my attack. I move out of the way when he attempt the same to attack he did to Muichiro-San. I click my tongue in annoyance. I feel my eyes turning into my demon eyes.

"Demon Blood Art... Shadow Control" I said. The shadow in the room starts morphing into monsters. I point at the demon. "Attack!" I said. They roar and lunges at the demon.

The demon managed to destroy all the monsters. I click my tongue in annoyance. That weapon of his would be the main problem. If only there's a way to disarm him. Tanjiro tries to attack him, only to be thrown off. I turn around to look at him as he clings onto a piece of broken wood.

"You know... your father is pretty upset after you chose their side..." the demon said. I turn my head to look at him as he stares at me. I clench my hands around my sword's hilt. "When he learned that you helped these low life Demon Slayer to kill Gyutaro and Daki, he was so sad..." he said.

"Stop trying to mess with my head! As far as I know! That demon doesn't care about me! All he ever cared is how to manipulate me into doing his dirty works!" I yelled at him. He let out a chuckle at what I said.

"Oh really? Well, then... I suppose you can explain this" he said. He take out something from his pocket and throws it to the floor, which landed not far from where I stood. I take a look at it, to realize it's a photo. I let out a shaky breath as I realize what it is.

(I can't find any Muzan carrying a baby fanart. So just imagine this is Muzan carrying a baby you)

I reach down shakily and grab the photo. I know the baby was me, because I have seen a pic of myself as a baby from mama. The man carrying me was none other than Kibutsuji Muzan himself... my Father.

My breathing starts to get heavier. My vision starts to get blurry as tears builds up in them. I lift my head to look at the Karaku. He just stands there, staring at me with a cold gaze. He's a clone that manifest the emotion of pleasure. So to see him with a serious expression isn't something we should be seeing.

"I stole that pic from him... knowing that I might see you here" the demon said. I turn my head to look at him. He just stares at me in the eyes. His eyes flicker from the photo in my hand to me. "I have never seen Muzan-Sama look so genuinely happy before. He truly does care about you, Y/N-Sama. All he ever wanted was to protect you and help to make you stronger. Help you see the truth of whose the true enemy! But you... BETRAYED him" he said. My body starts to shake as I stare at the photo.

My precious daughter... I hear his voice echoed in my head. My sword falls out of my grip and lands on the ground, creating a clattering sound. With it follows my body, as I fall on my knees.

"Y/N... Y/N!! Don't listen to anything he's saying! They are just trying to manipulate you!" Tanjiro said, as he kneels down in front of me. He places his hands on my cheeks to make me look at him. "He's only trying to manipulate you again, Y/N..." he said.

"I... I d-don't know w-w-what to believe a-anymore, Tanjiro..." I said. I move my head away from his hands and clutch my head, covering my ears in desperation because I don't want to hear anything else.

I shake my head, shutting my eyes tightly. I let out a loud scream. All the pent up emotions. Sadness, anger, and confusion... all starts breaking all together. I don't know what to feel or how to react, and it's making me feel so frustrated.

"I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE ANYMORE!" I screamed. As I scream, my body releases a strong force which throws Tanjiro off. But I don't think too much about it because my brain can only hold so much. A lot more, then I would ended up breaking.

Tanjiro P.O.V

Y/N starts screaming. Her body releases some sort of force which throws me back. My body got thrown out of the house and slams into a tree. I feel the oxygen in my lungs gets squeezed out. I fall on the ground and start to gasp on air. 

This is bad... Y/N's losing herself. If I let this happen, she'd end up breaking. What can I do? How can I help her???

I jump out of the way when another demon appears. From the scent, I can tell they're the same demons. My eyes flickers back and forth from the demons to Y/N. There's even more demons. But they're just clones.

I click my tongue in annoyance. How can I help Y/N, when I have to fight these demons as well? My heart clenched painfully as I listen to Y/N's pained screams. Oh God. Please... Y/N.

Please don't lose yourself
