Descriptions are for piss stains (no offense, lol) so you don't get one.
I copied this story from my alt account, JustWantedWaffles, because Wattpad stopped letting me publish without verifying my email.
"Uhm... no, no I'm not." Tanjiro whispered. "And I'm sorry I hurt you. I wish I could've stopped myself, but..."
he didn't finish, he could tell she knew why.
"Tanjiro, even though you're a demon, I can tell you have humanity." Nezuko said.
Tanjiro didn't know what to say, so he just smiled, a sad smile.
"Tanjiro?" Zenitsu asked.
"Hm?" Tanjiro hummed.
"He's awake, Inosuke! Come on!" Zenitsu yelled.
"Really?" Inosuke asked.
"Hello again, Inosuke and Zenitsu..." Tanjiro said. "...i'm not human but I hope you'll forgive me for what I've done."
"Of course we will, Tanjiro, it wasn't your fault." Zenitsu said.
Inosuke hugged Tanjiro and leaned in close to his ear.
"I missed you." He whispered.
"Tanjiro, I'm Namaiki, I just wanted to apologize for killing your friend." Namaiki said.
Tanjiro stared at him for a long while before saying,
"It's okay, he was a demon who ate people, after all."
"hey, Goto, can you help me with Tanjiro?" Urokodaki asked one of the kakushi.
"Of course, Urokodaki-san." Said Goto.
He got Tanjiro onto his back, Tanjiro winced due to the poison.
"You okay?" Goto asked.
"Poison..." Tanjiro said.
"Right, sorry about that, Tanjiro." Kanao said.
"It's fine, I should be apologizing to you..." Tanjiro said.
He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
When he woke up he seemed to be in the butterfly mansion, the warm morning light came through the open window. Murata stood, half hidden, behind the door, when he saw Tanjiro was awake, he hid even more.
"Hello, Murata." Tanjiro said with a smile.
"Hello, Tanjiro." Murata said shakily.
They stared at each other for a while, not speaking. Aoi came from behind Murata and said,
"Hello, Tanjiro, how are you?"
"I'm fine, just tired, how's the wound?" He asked in reply.
"It's fine, are you in any kind of pain?" Aoi said.
Tanjiro didn't answer; Aoi walked over and put a hand between his shoulder blades.
"Ah!" Tanjiro exclaimed.
He pulled away, keeping his eyes on her.
He suddenly looked sad.
"I didn't mean to get defensive..." he said.
"Tanjiro, it's fine, you're still recovering." Aoi said.
"That shouldn't be a problem, I should be in control." Tanjiro said.
"Yeah, Tanjiro, you're still recovering." Murata told him.
Tanjiro smiled again, still sad.
"Can we come in?" Said Nezuko's voice from outside the door.
"Yes." Aoi said.
Murata left when they came in, most likely nervous.
"Hello." Tanjiro said.
"Oniichan!" Nezuko said excitedly.
She hugged Tanjiro, who coughed blood.
"Tanjiro, are you okay?" She asked.
"Poison." Tanjiro said.
Nezuko was being careful not to touch his back so he would stay calm, Tanjiro realized that.
"They don't trust me, I guess they shouldn't, but... it's still upsetting." He thought.
Nezuko wiped the blood from his mouth, this was like the last thing his mother had done for him.
"Well, well, looks like you made the mighty king of demons cry, Nezuko-san." Namaiki said from the corner.
Tanjiro was crying, the memories were too sad. Nezuko began to say,
"Tanjiro, I'm sorry, what's wrong—"
"Nothing, Nezuko, it's nothing." Tanjiro cut her off.
"I'm sure if the demon king is crying, it's not nothing." Namaiki remarked.
"Would you stop calling him that!? He has a name, you know." Aoi said, annoyed.
Namaiki turned away.
"Tanjiro, are you immortal?" Zenitsu asked.
Tanjiro's hand twitched, as if longing to hold something.
"Yes..." he answered.
"Wait, so if we cut off your head, you'll be fine?" Inosuke asked.
"With time, yes." Tanjiro said.
"Tanjiro." Yushiro said from the doorway. "Can you tell us your perspective of your time alone?"
"Sure." Tanjiro said...
620 words, this was four pages long.
