The Traveling Musician (Kny X Reader)

Chapter 41

From now until school starts again, the updates will be from tuesday and friday. When school starts back, it will go back to tuesday and thursday unless I have a different schedule.

Destructive Death: Eight-Layered Demon Core

The shockwaves were only growing in power as he punched a third time. I dodge to the side and under and countered with my own technique.

Breath of stars: Sagittarius

I move around any attack and make an attack of my own. It doesn't seem to make any improvement on his regeneration speed. I make a small slip up and got punched straight in the chest. I was thrown back into the train creating a loud bang. I cough up some blood and just see Akaza standing there licking his hand.

[So gross and unsanitary]

"For such a weak human, you sure taste sweet. Almost irresistible along with your scent, you should feel lucky that I don't kill women."He launches himself towards Kyojuro's direction and I also push off from the train.

"Thanks, I guess." You could feel the sarcasm rolling off of me in massive waves.

Breath of stars: Virgo

I make my own shockwave to force him back, before slicing down from his shoulder blade down to his hip. It just attaches itself back to the main body. I was about to attack again when he started to run into the forest. Just when I was about to go after him, I heard Kyojuro groaning and see the pool of blood underneath him. I run towards him instead and start to put pressure on the wound so that he can use his breathing to stop the blood.

"Stay awake Kyojuro, there are people coming to help you."

In the distance, I hear Tanjiro going after Akaza and yelling something about a coward, but all I can hear is ringing. I try and blink away the fuzziness in my vision, but black sport starts to replace instead. The last thing I hear is some more yelling from Tanjiro and Inosuke.

***

I was nice and comfortable, having a nice peaceful sleep, but the light had to come and ruin it. The last thing that I can remember is talking to Kyojuro, and then black. I grumble under my breath as I sit up and rub my eyes. Except I am stopped by a searing pain in my head and rib cage.

"Ack."

*Slam *

I jump from the loud noise effectively blinding myself from the light and hurting more.

"Aha! My flamboyant wife has woken up!"

Uzui zooms over to me to speak again, but I stop him by putting my hand to his face.

"Ara Ara~ it seems (y/n)-chan isn't a morning person. How are your injuries feeling?" Shino-san walks into the room with a few tick marks on her forehead.

"They just hurt a little bit, what about Rengoku-san? Is he alright?"

"He is alive, but he will not be able to continue being a demon slayer. Since his solar plexus, as well as his eye, are both damaged he will not be able to perform at the same level of expertise anymore."

"I will have to see how he feels about this information, but I am glad that he is alive. Thank you for bandaging me up Shino-chan."

"No problem. You should be just fine in two to three days of resting, though you might have some discomfort in your head. I will leave you to rest while I go check up on the others."

"Alright, thank you."

Shinobu leaves the room to leave me and Uzui-san, whose face is still held by my hand. I remember that he is standing there, and I lower my hand.

"My flamboyant wife, you have such soft hands!" He grabbed my hand and started squishing them like a child that got a new toy. "I do have a question for you."

"Ask away."

"Why is there a snake flamboyantly attached to you?"

I look to my left arm and see (s/n) curled around my forearm. Seemingly liking the warmth, induced by them moving their head side to side. I pat his head which he seems to extremely like as he pressed back into my finger.

"This is (s/n), they are my pet snake."

We went on talking for a little bit before he went on his daily patrols. I got out of bed with slight difficulty and got dressed. I asked (c/n) to show me the way to the Rengoku estate so that I could check on him.

Short timeskip and Tanjiro POV

Once I had woken up, I got out of bed, grabbed Nezuko, and followed Rengoku's crow to their estate. I had run for most of the way and was sweating a lot. When I had gotten closer, I saw Senjuro and (y/n) standing outside of the doorway. I was about to call out to them when I saw a jar of wine being smashed over (y/n)'s head as they moved Senjuro behind themselves. I can hear shouts coming from someone older and quickly rushed over. I saw (y/n) fall back as an older version of Rengoku came toppling over her and they engaged in a small wrestle. Senjuro was trying to break them up, but the man went to hit him instead. (y/n) grabbed his hand and flipped him over, holding his hands behind his back and sitting on his legs.

"I may not have had parents growing up, but I know that you should never hit your own child. Any child for that matter. Do you feel no remorse hurting your own flesh and blood over something so trivial that can be settled by words?"

"Get off of me you useless demon slayer, go away if you have just come here to show off!"

"I'm not here for you. I am here to check on a friend. I didn't even know you were a person till a few seconds ago."

The man was able to struggle out of (y/n)'s grip by elbowing her rib cage where she was injured. He opened his mouth to yell again but was silenced by a slap from her. His face turned red and some of his spit was on the ground. That seemed to make him angrier and, he pushed (y/n) off and was bout to punch her. With quick thinking, I did the only thing I could do, and I head-butted him.
