Oof 3rd story update in the past 3 hours geez.Ok so about this.
Yeah Tanjiro is a bit OOC in this, but here's my opinion.She gave up herself willingly which he gave her a merciful death instead of a painful one. So in truth yes he's unforgiving towards demoms,but I believe that there are some he can tolerate or at least accept.
That's why this is a "what if" Story.So enjoy!
Btw this one will be kinda short as well,but still
Don't own anything!(If I did Zenitsu would have more moments!)

In his own mind he felt conflicted. Lungs burning with adrenaline as he ran. Gripping his sword tightly he couldn't stop thinking about the demon he let live.
He had joined the demon killing corps for a reason. To lay waste to the demon that destroyed his family. To turn Nezuko back to human and yet...
"Her eyes...they held so much pain..."
Of all the demons he's killed so far she was one of a few that surprised him. Yes she was sadistic and murderous, but why had she given up so easily. She even tried to embrace the attack if he had followed through.
"I can't focus on her right now I got to find the others!"His thoughts of concern going towards his sister and companions.
"Inosuke will be alright he's strong. Zenitsu...is too,but only unconscious..
" He mumbled running deeper into the forest. The two were his best friends and even if they were a hanful he was grateful to have them. A small smile pulled upon his lips.
"Gotta find them first!"With that thought in mind he ran faster.

It went down hill quickly and she couldn't help,but watch in despair.
She watched as Rui broke Tanjiro's sword with is thread and beat him and the demon girl up without effort.
She watched as Tanjiro switched from his breathe of water style to some fire style she never saw before. How he danced beautifully with the fire as if he had been born to flow with it.
She watched with baited breath as he cut of Rui's head completely and nearly felt relief of finally being out of his clutches.
She was unbelievably wrong.
With horror she watched as Rui reattached his severed head and beat Tanjiro up.The boy crawling over to the fallen form of his sister.
The look of frustration crossing his figures as he held to his sisters body for dear life.
"What a bond...I can't wait to have it." Rui spoke darkly as his hands turned blood red and the threads on his finger turned crimson as well.
Time slowed down for everyone as Rui prepared his attack.
"No! Not like this!"
Before she even knew it she was infront of Tanjiro in a protective stance. Her body shaking with fear as she stood her ground.
"What do you think your doing?" Rui spoke almost sickeningly sweet.
A shiver ran down her spine,but she held on.
"Please Rui...let them go.." She pleaded as a look of rage was placed upon Rui's features.
"So your a traitor, you know what I do with traitors don't you?" He spoke venomously.
She knew the consequences. She knew the risk. Yet here she was holding her ground.
Looking back she watched Tanjiro as he looked at her with surprised eyes. A very sad smile crossed her lips as she looked at him.
"Please if you can Tanjiro run as fast as you can...I can only hold him off for a littel why." She spoke as she stared defiantly at Rui who looked shocked by her words.
"Why the hell would you protect a demon slayer than your own son!" He shouted physically shaking with rage.
"Your not my son! This whole family is fake and we only followed you in fear...and even if he is a demon slayer..." She looked down at tanjiro who still had a confused look on his features.
"His eyes hold kindness that I haven't felt in a long time...I have to protect that!" She yelled gathering threads in her fingers.
A dark aura pulsed from Rui as he looked at the them.
"I guess I'll have to kill of you than!" He spoke Harshly sending threads out to both them.
The threads were cut easily as another figure stood before them.
"That won't be necessary. " A man spoke with a stoic face and dull blue eyes.
Tanjiro looked in surprise at the man that stood before.
"Glad you held on before I could arrive, Tanjiro." The stoic man spoke once again before facing Rui.
"Giyu!"
