Hide

After abit of running I find one hell of a battle has passed in this little compound, though from the sound of it's still not over. Then I see Tanjiro flung towards the sky with arrows on him?

Right time to go sneaky mode and ambush the guy doing this. So I grab one of my premade talisman that turns me invisible, but wears off if I do some activity like opening a door or something. Thanks to that little tidbit I have to calmly walk.

I go towards all the commotion and see the demon with eyeballs embedded in his hands. First of all creepy, second of all die. Poor guy was, so surprised when Sohayamaru went through his spine then neck and decapitated him.

Sadly though he didn't take the joke like a champ because he flung me towards the air too. Talismans, beautiful things just grabbed a premade one and landed on my feet like a cat which is the intent of it. Don't get me wrong, my legs feel like shit, but at least my legs didn't join my torso like a Mortal kombat move.

Now Tanjiro well... he looks like shit and I decided to give him the grim diagnosis myself.

"You look like shit."

"Yeah though I wouldn't say it like that though I can't even hold my sword anymore."

"Good thing I invested in those healing talisman huh?"

"What? Healing talisman? Is it similar to the one Yushiro made?"

"I have no clue who you're talking about, but if it's who made the same one as the one in your forehead then, yes. Mine though are more temporary, but more powerful if I'm reading that thing on your forehead right.

He looked like he was going to ask more questions though I had to end his tirade.

"Alright no more questions kid you need to heal. Now be a good boy and wait for it to be done, no need for you to reopen or make your wounds worse."

"But my sister is still fighting!"

"And that's why I'm leaving you here, so I can help her!" Had to yell that bit out so he could hear me properly because I was already running towards all the commotion. Though it looks like I took my time 'cause the fight is already over if the huge arms coming outta the girls body is any indication.

"Damn that's some brutal work you guys did here." The two unknowns instantly lock onto me and give me a look with caution. Though Nezuko just came over asking for head pats I think. Either way I gave it to her and told her brother is fine.

"Nice job Nezuko holding them off on your own, though I'm assuming one of those two caused the whole curse thing huh?"

"You assume correct, Lady Tamayo eradicated that small fry with just her words. Now identify yourself you yankee before she destroys your existence as well!"

"Yushiro!" She looked scandalized when he said that to me. "Don't say that sort of thing to our guest!"

"But what if-"

"No ifs. She's clearly a friend of Tanjiro and Nezuko, otherwise the girl wouldn't be so casual with her."

"Of course Lady Tamayo you're right once again."

"But I didn't know Tanjiro had two demons on his side."

"Hmm? Is it that easy to figure out I'm a demon?"

"Well if you were not, you would not be speaking with Lady Tamayo right now for thanks to her poison." Says Yushiro as if lecturing a child.

He's going to be very annoying if he keeps on like this. But he's not wrong about the poison. It took a bit to concentrate, but I can see the poison moving through the air freely.

I start hearing some shuffling noise behind me and I see this dumbass dragging himself on the ground like a worm with all this poison around us!

Oh shit! I take of my uhh... yukata off and shove it on his face so he doesn't breathe the stuff in. Then I carry him inside the wrecked house on my back of course. Don't want to hurt his pride by carrying him like a princess.

"You're an idiot Tanjiro, if you just waited you would be able to walk with your own power. Now here I am taking you on my back towards here, so you don't die from poison. DON'T take off the yukata off your nose until I tell you so, please." I feel like a parent or older br-sibling *sigh* .

I hear three set of footsteps following me inside the house. Knowing who they are, so try to ask the deal with the talismans Tanjiro mentioned before.

"So Yuchiro right?"

"Yushiro you brute of a-"

"Right whatever, Tanjiro here told me that you make talisman like me." To emphasize my point I take out one of my own and hand it to him.

"Are mine anything like yours?"

"No, yours are more personal or I suppose 'magical' as I cannot figure out how you made yours work the way they do."

"Can I see one of yours and maybe compare notes?"

"Hmm, fine but I cannot say I will give you my best work."

"That's fine I wasn't asking for it."

It wasn't much of a walk considering it was basically next to us, but I wanted to lay this idiot down somewhere soft, so doesn't aggravate his injuries.

Though knowing him he won't give himself much time letting himself heal. Grabbing another healing talisman and popping it over his chest.

"Don't take it off this time or I'll tie you up and make sure you heal the normal slow way."

"Yes Miss Hide!"

This little shit smiling at me after I said that makes me want to do it anyway. Now for the other elephant in the room.

"What happens now then?"

"We will relocate somewhere safer, we are far too close to Kibutsuji. Not only that, but its a matter a time before we are found out as demons for we work very closely with them. Children and elderly are especially perceptive when it comes to us demons."

"Do you want us to help you move?" The only who would say that is Tanjiro and his bleeding heart. Sadly for him we can't considering we both pissed off Muzan.

"I suggest we don't, let finish kid. Earlier when you went to confront Muzan and he escaped from you right?"

"Yes by using an innocent man and turning him to a demon, so he can run away."

"Yeah while he was 'running' away he must have vented his anger at some poor schmuck 'cause he sent the man flying up, catching my attention. By the time I got there I found two bodies and a pile of dust with another two people leaving towards your direction."

"Please tell me you did not try to fight him"

"Well I didn't try, I did. I even got him to bleed, but the ass ran away when he figured out he couldn't kill me easily. A few death threats at my person later he left"

"How did you not die?" Tamayo had such a perplexed look on her like its impossible to comprehend.

"Well it's because I'm only half of one, hell I can even stay under sunlight, but I can't regenerate whole limbs and any blade can kill me."

"Can you please give me a sample of your blood for study?"

"Umm yeah sure. How much ya need?" She has a very scary face on her right now, so I decided to give her as much as she wants. I might be a smidge terrified.

"Not much only a syringe full." Case and point she shows her medical syringe as emphasis.

While she was cleaning the area she was gonna take blood from she asked me a few more questions like how I became a half yokai. The one that stood out from her questioning though was from my talismen.

"Are your talisman your blood art?"

"No, that's something anyone can do if they have the talent for it."

"Oh?"

"It's a rare art, maybe a dying one since I haven't seen another onmyo user other than me. Oh now that you reminded me here Yuichiro take one and study it or use it when you need it."

"It's Yushiro you brute of a woman!" After calming down he asked what it does.

"It's made for healing. Whenever I used it, it has brought me from the brink of death, though I don't know if it can put a person back together. Please don't throw it away it can help you, your lady, or someone else and it's a pain the ass to make more."

And I do have to make more 'cause that was my last one in stock.

"Thank you for generosity. I'll make sure to use in dire situations."

"You won't have to go that far if you can copy it or even improve it."

"Thank you for giving Yushiro that, but I want to know if you have a blood art."

Hmm what do I show her, my demon form or my guardian spirit attacks? Both I suppose.

"Let's go outside don't want to destroy the house."

Everyone followed outside to watch this spectacle of my abilities. Now what do I start off with I suppose Benkei.

"Alright I think its far enough from the house." I channel the power to towards my invisible enemy and let it out with a force.

Letting out a grunt of exertion and Benkei manifests and lets out and earth shattering stop on the ground.

I look back behind me and see Tanjiro and Nezuko flat on their asses while Yushiro is glaring at me and holding up his lady.

"Sorry, should have warn y'all to brace yourselves. It's not the only of its kind, but in a nutshell I can summon monsters that do an attack like that, though I can't spam it or I'll exhaust myself in a middle of a fight."

"Oh don't worry we were not hurt just unprepared. A versatile art I must say, but I doubt it's the only one?"

"Well you're right. I can transform into a full on yokai of legend if the blood is really pumping. I can show you guys, but it's gonna take a little longer than usual since I'm not in a middle of a fight."

"No, it's alright we shouldn't waste anymore time since its starting to turn to daytime and we still need to pack."

"Oh! Do you want us to help you?" Tanjiro you knucklehead didn't you listen to a word I said?

"Thank you, but no with Kibutsuji enraged at your friend and you it might give us more attention than we need right now."

"Oh. Yes I forgotten about that." I made sure to give him a good whack at the back of his head for that.

"Tanjiro one last thing. Do you want to leave Nezuko with us? I cannot guarantee she will be unharmed, but is it not better than to be on a battle field?"

Oh I don't think he will leave her with them, but you never know what one will do to protect the last of their family. He's giving a good thought to the option though or was until Nezuko went next to him and held his hand to reassure him.

"Thank you for the offer, but we will not be parted. Never again."

Tamayo just smiles and says she understands.

"We will pack up and erase any trace of us here, until then goodbye."

We were all set to leave until Yushiro said Nezuko is a beauty.

"Whattabout me?" I said not expecting an actual answer.

"You're still a brute, yankee, and overall annoyance, but I suppose there's a beauty somewhere in there."

Is that a compliment? Insult? or just one hell of textbook tsundere answer?

"So where to next?"

" I'm not sure I think it a good time for you to train me?"

I was gonna answer the affirmative until his crow or raven flew in and started to tell Tanjiro to go south south east. Then we heard shrieks that overpowered the volume of the fucking crow down the road.

And came a upon a yellow boy throwing himself pathetically at a girl bawling his eyes out. The only thing I could say towards the situation is,

"The fuck?"
