So. I thought I'd take a stab at writing a story for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Thought it might have some potential but we shall see :D anywho, here is the story.
Please be nice, and let me know if you guys would like this continued :D
I do NOT own anything related to this manga/anime only My OC.
Legend tells a tale of the world's first demon, a being shrouded in mystery known for his cruelty and thirst for power, Inslaved to the sun and cursed to roam the night, Thousands of lives lost to such a beast all for the selfish gain of becoming perfect, demons spawned from such hatered in turn spreading hatered hunted down by the very people sworn to they're annihalation
There was much more to my family then met the eye, a supernatural bond between my familie's blood and the blood of the cursed one's family, The catch?
One female born every thousand years would hold the key to breaking the curse. Blood, Body and soul. It was she who held the fate of the world in the palm of her hand, With her by his side he could achieve not only his goal but wield her power as his own.
One might say she was a doom's day key, Though in her eyes she was nothing more then a simple girl with no family of her own, Her own background was a complete mystery to her up until the age of 10 she remembers nothing, No parents, Nothing of importance, The only thing unique about her is the long jagged scar on her throat.
I was a simple girl, nothing special about me at all.. I lived a mundane life, had a job.. But they say nothing is promised, Life itself is a beautiful lie, A meaningless fragile thing that can be ripped away from us at anytime.. Unfortunately for me, my life ended at the blade of another man. I don't remember much from the attack only the relentless pain, and of course choking on my own blood.
The words though.. Those words he whispered to me softly as I felt my life fade, "Master need's his key, You are his key"
The last thing I remember is the soft glow of the street light above me watching the snow fall softly..
"Miss..?" Groggily the sound fills my ears "Miss, are you okay"
That can't be, I was supposed to be dead, frozen on the pavement, finito. So hearing this boy's voice was unusual, wait it was down right impossible.. opening my teal eyes I groan catching the boy off guard, he stumbles back in the snow, my hand automatically shoots to my abdomen feeling nothing..No blood, no searing pain, how could this be possible and why was i in the forest..
broken from my thoughts I look over my burred vision landing on the boy in question.
"W..Who are you?" I say softly, to say I was afraid would have been the biggest understatement of the century, I was down right out of my mind with fear.
His burgundy eyes widen a fraction before a small friendly smile creases his lips, "My name is Tanjiro Kamado" he speaks softly "May I ask how you got here in the forest?"
Shivering I shake my head, How did I get here.. One minute I was bleeding out the next.."I'm.."I'm not sure" I start slowly raising my frosted mint eyes to meet his gaze. "I don't remember much, Only waking up in the snow"
"I see..Well, my family stays not far from here" He says softly "and it would be rude of me to leave you here in the cold"
"I couldn't intrude on you're family.." I mutter trying to suppress another shiver
His smile brightens "You wouldn't be intruding, My parents raised me to help whoever needs it, and right now you need help" he says offering his hand to me, Taking it I smile slightly
"Thank you Tanjiro" I smile as we start walking, I observe my surroundings the woods were snow covered, ice clinging to every tree branch everything in this world was brighter, sharper.. My sense of smell, sight and hearing had become better, Physically I felt like I could demolish an entire town, But mentally I felt weak, tired..
Whatever had sent me here had drained me and as much as I would like to pretend everything was alright it wasn't, I needed time to adjust but something told me this was just the beginning of things, Biting my lip I try to focus on Tanjiro talking telling me about this part of where ever it was he lived, how he had siblings and a mother, He didn't mention his father and I could only assume it was for good reason.
As we make it back to the home, I notice a pretty girl holding a small boy in her arms, she can't be more then 13 years of age, light pink eyes and ebony colored hair, she was the total opposite of the boy standing next to me.
"Big brother" she says coming up to us, quirking an eyebrow my way she smiles "Hello" came a sweet reply
'Nezuko, this is..well" Tanjiro starts before turning to me, "I'm sorry I didn't catch you're name"
"Oh, My name is Yoruichi" I say sheepishly
"Well Yoruichi , you may stay here as long as yopu need" I hear and turn to see a pretty woman wiping her hands on her apron, I smile brighty an blush.
"Thank you ma'am" I say quietyly, Looking around I ponder my thoughts for a moment, I had to find out more information about where I was and how I could get back home, but for the meantime I was happy to have met such nice people.
Elsewhere..
A icy cold shiver makes it way up every vertabrae in his body, Sharp crimson eyes rest on the paperwork in front of him, for as many centuries he had lived through you think he would have been able to find the key to defeating the sun, The curse that bound him to the night, At first it wasn't so bad, but after centuries of not seeing it or being able to tolerate it's touch he loathed it, Life would be so much.. simpler..
As for the shiver he felt, it was unknown what it meant but He had not felt something like that in ages.. And to be honest he was curious to find out what it meant, if anything at all. rising from the desk he had been seated at for hours he peers outside, "I will find this damn key, This curse will be undone and the world will be mine"
