Tanjiro's pov
I can fell that my body was not moving at all. I can't control it and I can't even see anything. But i can still sense them.
The demon who beat to death is still standing while my sister is lying on the ground almost dead.
I'm not a good brother, I can't even protect those who's important to me. Now my sister will die soon. And next will be my master.
I'm too weak. I hate it. If i am stronger then I am sure that i can protect them, but based on ny state right now. I'm dead.
I know it. I can sense them, but i cant feel any air at all. No air in my body. I can't even think properly. I hope Urokodaki-san is near so that he can rescue my sister.
Nezuko comes first. I don't care about anything other than her. My only family is all i cared about.
Tanjiro's pov End
As tanjiro thinking of what's happening right now. He can feel that his mind is slowly fading. He didn't know if he will still regenerate or get out alive. But he is sure that he will die.
A minute past by and tanjiro's mind completely gone.
Somewhere else
Tanjiro can feel his body floating at an endless abyss. It's too dark and hot here. He is thinking if he is in hell. Well, he won't be surprised if he get thrown in hell since he didn't care about anything other than her sister.
He didn't care if someone dies for her. All he cared about is Nezuko. It doesn't matter if she hate him for it. He will do everything for her sake.
As the area become mote hotter. Tanjiro began to feel too much pain. "Is it because I'm in hell?" He thought out loud.
"What the hell!" He shouted as he desperately resist the pain. His body is burning from inside to ouside.
Suddenly he heard a voice. He didn't know where it comes from thought. To the left, to the right, front, back, up and down. He doesn't know.
"You who have greater power that was sleeping inside you. Is this all you've got?" the unknown voice spoke.
"Who are you!" Tanjiro shouted as he tried to stand, but can't stand at all since there were no land that he can foot at all. He is floating at endless abyss with too much heat inside.
"I am you" the unknown voice said.
"What do you mean by that? I don't understand! Just tell me who are you!" Tanjiro shouted again as he keep resisting the hotness that he can feel.
"I am you. You could say that i am your self. Your other self or your own power." The voice said.
"I don't understand anything!" tanjiro shouted
"You won't understand because you don't know who you are." The voice said
"Who are you? Who am i? What do you think?" The voice spoke.
"Who are you? I'm asking you again! Who are you or I'll kill you!" Tanjiro shouted in desperation, he is confused.
"Can't you answer that your self. Even though i already give you the answer, you still won't believe me" the voice said.
"And why would i believe you" tanjiro said in irritation.
"You still didn't learn, tanjiro." The voice said.
"Just tell me already why your are here! And where the hell am it! What is happening to me!" Tanjiro shouted once again.
"If you are thinking that your in hell or heaven. Your not, this is your mind. The one that you can feel right now is the power that surging inside you. In short, it's out of control. Of course, you are already dead that's why it's out of control." The voice said.
"I know that I'm dead. What i want to ask is what is motive here and who the hell are you" tanjiro asked.
"I Already answered you, I AM YOU. and about my motive... I'm here to give you guidance since you still won't accept you are" the voice said.
"I don't understand" tanjiro said as the voice sighted. His other self is an idiot he knows it, still he keep talking on it.
"Well basically. I am you. I am the power inside you. Where did your power come from? It comes from me. The sword is me, and you are me, so i am you. I have my own personality just like you. And just like you i can feel pain." The voice said.
"Im confused" this time tanjiro decided to listen.
"I will explain it to you the easy way. I am the sword that you are holding. And since you keep my by your side for a long time. The sword power resonate with you own soul. Means that we are in the same body right now." The voice said.
"You mean that your that sword and we both...merge together by time flies by?" Tanjiro asked
"Exactly. That's why i keep telling you that i am you. We are the same person. I'm just more stronger and more smarter" The voice said mockingly.
"So what? Why are you saying it to me? I'm dead right, so it doesn't make any sense at all" tanjiro said.
"It does. You tanjiro kamado who hold such greater power, the Sun breath and you who hold the power of hatred, the demon. With the power that you hold, you can easily beat that demon so death, but you. Your weak." The voice said.
"You can't even wield me properly. You are alway holding me, but you can't unleash my power at all. All you fid is breath and imitate what your master thought you. You didn't understand anything." He added.
"I know that, my master tell me that i need resolve to hold that power! To unleash that power! I already have resolve, so why! Why can't i use the power that you saying to me?!" Tanjiro shouted
"Because of you, my sister...my sister is dying right now! If you just give that power to me. If you just allow me even if it a minute. I will use it to prorect her. But you...you didn't even allow me to use it! You said that we merge together so why! Why can't i unleash you even thought i have a resolve!" Tanjiro cried in anger. He felt too guilty at what happen to his sister so he blame his incompetence to others.
"My power was not use for that. Your resolve is nothing but a trash. Your resolve to protect your sister even if it cause you your life or somebody life. I won't accept that. This sword, the sun breathing. The hanafuda,The crest." The voice said.
"Those four made to protect others, the people. The humans. Everyone. Not just your own sister nor your own blood. The sword that was bestowed to the first demon slayer Yorichi tsugikuni. Did you know how he acquire it? The hanafuda, did you know how he get it. That breathing techniques, did you know who really create it? The demon crest, did you know who give it?
You don't know anything, you understand nothing. Your resolve is nothing. My power can't never be unleash by the selfish resolve of yours" The voice said.
"I...i don't know" tanjiro lowered his head. He knows it. He really feel guilty about it. It's was not the swords fault that his sister is drying right now. It's not the sword fault to he losses. It's not the sword fault that he is dead. It's all because of himself.
He is selfish
"I see. I...m selfish. All i think is about my self and my blood. I don't care about anyone nor anything. Because of me, my sister is dying, the town people will end up dead too and even my master. Master trust me, that i will bring the demon down and restore the peace in this world, but how can i do that if I'm selfish like this. If...i had given another chance, i would gladly take it" tanjiro thought.
"I'm sorry Nezuko, i promise in my next life...i will protect you. Not just you but the other people too. I won't do the same mistake again." He thought as he close his eyes.
He didn't notice that the sword began to float in front of him and a bright light engulfed him.
"Watch everything and you will learn" the voice spoke as the light suddenly disappear.
Tanjiro open his eyes and examine his sorrounding. He is not in the abyss anymore. He can see mountains, rivers and even animals around. He is in the forest.
