Chapter 12: Mugen Train
"Whatever you are going through know I'm here." He hands her the Hershey's bar and gently rubs her shoulders. She blushes as she eats it. "Hey, you may as well fuck at this point." "Yaunping! Cut it out!" She continues giggling while taking an Oreo. "Stop it." "What?" "Avril, you know she doesn't find it funny." "It's Yaunping!" "Will both of you just shut the fuck up already?!" She walks out enraged.
"You seem awfully pissed." "Who said that?" "Me." A hands with a mouth comes out. "Don't be afraid. I can give you a sweet dream." "Think up something fast." She thought. "I don't want a sweet dream." "Oh why?" "Bad enough I got cheated on." "Cheated?" "Yeah, my boyfriends cheated on me with another foreign girl. My best friend of all people!" "That's not good. No wonder you're pissed. Was it the guy with fiery hair?" "Yes." "Oh, what a shame. I thought a man of his status could have some dignity. No matter I guess it's only fitting he gets killed by an ex I suppose."
"I just want them to fucking pay." "I can make that happen." "You can?" "Of course, I you see I can put people into a deep sleep and manipulate their dreams. I can make any little fantasy of yours come true. What is it, sweetheart?" "Cut off that bitch's breasts and nose then tear her guts out as he is forced to watch. Then rape him multiple times before I am eaten." "Oh, I won't eat you." "You won't?" "No, I can have my master turn you into a demon. And we can be together. I'll never leave you." "You won't?" "Of course, not." "We have a deal."
"What's your name?" "Ariadne. Yours?" "Enmu. Now follow me." "Of course." She states following the hand. "Avril, come on. That wasn't funny." "She's too serious sometimes." "You stated yourself that she's going through something!" "I was just trying to cheer her up." "It clearly didn't work, Avril." "It's Yaunping!" "I'll call you Avril until you apologize to her." "Asshole." "I heard you!" He takes out a bento box. "Umai!" "Why don't you ever quiet the fuck down?!" He ignores her until three boys arrive.
"Umai." "We heard you... the first fifty times." "Now you decide to quiet down?" "Avril." "Shut the fuck up." "You know her?" "Yes, it's a long story." "Well, I have some questions for you." "Yes, Mizuguchi." "It's Kamado. My father he was a frail man." "Yes." "He knew this technique that allowed to dance in the snow for hours." "Yes." "It's called Hino kami Kagura. Do you know anything about it?" "No, but I'm glad your father could use it in battle."
"You don't?!" "Nope you can be my tsugoku. I'll take care of you!" "Will you shut the fuck up, already?" "Avril." "It's Yaunping." "You heard what I said earlier." "Hmph." She pouted. "Moron." She states in English. "You realize I can understand some English." "How?" "I'm dating Kristine. Remember?" "Girlfriend?" Zenitsu asked. "Yes." He took out a small photo of her. "Pretty. Isn't she?" "How the hell did you manage to date her?" "Undercover mission in a college. She's a transfer student from America." "How is it you managed to bag such a beautiful foreigner?!"
"Shut the fuck up!" She states throwing a pack of Oreos and stomps out. "Ooh, I've had these before." Inosuke states. "This is some good shit. Now how about I challenge this beast to a race?!" "You can't possibly be this stupid, can you?!" Zenitsu states pulling the boar back. "Not a good idea. We don't when the demon will show up." "What the demons here?!" "Yes." "Gaah, I'm leaving!"
The conductor walks in. "Let me see your tickets." "Ahh, what's that smell." "Excuse me. Don't mind the sword." The lights go out and a demon shows up. "Quite the blood demon art you have there. But I promise if you lay your hands on the innocent my bright red blade will burn you to ash." He cuts the demon's head off and proceeds to slay a few others.
Later, "I put them to sleep, please unite me with my dead wife and daughter." "Of course, see your family in your dreams." The conductor gets put to sleep. "Now as for you." "We will do as you say." "Ariadne, you and this other girl will tie up the Hashira. One of you distract him and the other stab his spiritual core." "Yes, sir." "Ariadne disgusts me." The girl thought.
They all do as they are told. "Five, four, three, two one." All of them end up in their respective dreams. "Come on Senjuro. Relax your shoulders." 'I'll distract him." "Fine." She sneaks up to Kyojuro. "K-." She kisses him. "You're in a dream." she whispers kissing him again. "Who is this?" "Senjuro, this is uh-." "Ariadne. I'm his fiancée." "Fiancée?" "Yes." "Why didn't you tell me?" "Why didn't you?" "I was expecting you to be with your parents." "Really?" "Of course, I was thinking our families would meet later in the week."
"Well, they're on their way." "Here, I'll go get dad." Senjuro runs off. "Yes, you're in a dream." She points her revolver at him. "This should get you out." She shoots waking him up. "Come on Nezuko. Burn the ropes." "Mph." "Ariadne, what the hell? This wasn't part of the plan." "I would never go along with such a plan." "Says the girl talking about rape and mutilation." "Hey, I had to make up something to persuade that abomination." The girl tries stabbing Tanjiro.
"Find the Oni, I'll hold them off." She fires a warning shot. "One step closer and I'll shoot. Now everybody sit down." "Y-yes ma'am." Three say in unison. The other one sat there smiling. "Huh?" She thought. A few minutes later the train grew fleshy tentacles. "Of course, the bastard fused with the train." One of them grabs a passenger.
She takes her knife stabbing it. Two other tentacles grab her arms. "How dare you betray me. At least I can eat your pretty face." "Flame tiger. Don't ever put your hands on my girl!" "Kiss this bitch." She stabs one of the tentacles hard. That and Kyojuro's attack has the train shaking. "I'll be back in a few minutes." A few minutes later the train starts to tip over. "Ahh!" "I've got you, darling." He puts her down. She follows him trying to keep up.
