Chapter 1: Death is the End
"A demon will never be something that doesn't thirst for blood!" A white-haired man argued.
*Swish*
The man slashed his wrist, resulting in blood flowing.
"I will prove it to you, oi demon, you want this blood of mine, don't you?" the man provoked.
*growl*
Seeing the blood flowing, an intense desire filled the demon.
"Nezuko!"
A man ran in front of them, waking up the demon, Nezuko, from the temptation of human blood.
"Hmmph" Nezuko refused the blood.
The white-haired man was disappointed, and anger showed on his face.
"You vile demon, all demons must die!"
*fuuuuh*
The sound of deep breathing can be heard.
"Wind Breathing First Form: Dust Whirlwind Cutter!"
The man with his sword slashed Nezuko intending to kill.
All of the people across the sight were stupefied, not expecting this white-haired man to use violence.
Nezuko's head was slashed like tofu, with her blood splattering and head rolling on the ground.
"What did you do, Sanemi!"
A black-haired man suddenly appeared beside the murderer.
"What do you mean Giyu, isn't a Demon Slayer's duty is to kill demons?" Sanemi, the decapitator asked.
Giyu cannot argue more as what he said was common sense for their organization.
"Nezuko!!"
A boy came running, with tears raging in his eyes.
The pitiful boy cried beside Nezuko, hugging her headless body.
*Raaaaaa! *
A shout full of sadness enveloped the place.
Eleven people are currently inside, except Nezuko and the crying boy.
Giyu can only bite his lips, helpless in the situation in front of him.
The other eight keeping a sword in their side can only sigh in frustration.
"Why did you do that, Sanemi?" A pink-haired girl called Mitsuri asked a question just recently answered, obviously still speechless from the situation that occurred.
---------------------------
Tanjiro Kamado POV
I am currently incapacitated by the Snake Hashira, Obanai Iguro.
Nezuko, my sister is currently tested by the Wind Hashira, Sanemi Shinazugawa.
Sanemi, the Wind Hashira, slashed himself with his sword, making his blood flow from his wrist.
I was quite nervous that Nezuko will be tempted, so I tried to break free, waking Nezuko from her enticed reaction.
My sister was able to resist the allure of blood, making me sigh a bit of relief.
But a horrifying result was released after I hear deep breathing from the Wind Hashira.
The scene went so fast, as the Wind Hashira's first style focuses on speed, Nezuko was swiftly beheaded.
I cannot even speak as shock completely overwhelmed my mind.
Feeling the warm tears streaming from my eyes awakened my consciousness, hurrying to my sister's body, Nezuko.
"Nezuko!"
---------------------------
A man with his face half-covered with a horrifying mark tried to consoled Tanjiro.
"The situation was quite unfortunate, but I am sure that it is completely an accident, do not worry as the necessary punishment will come to Sanemi"
The man's soothing voice tried to calm Tanjiro down and was quite successful in his attempt.
Tanjiro's expression displayed a terrifying calmness as he glanced at the man, akin to the quote "Calm before the storm".
Carefully placing his sister's head and body inside a box, Tanjiro carried it with tears uncontrollably still flowing from his eyes.
The heart-rending scene of him going out of the place saddened the people inside, some were indifferent, some were sighing, and some let a drop of tear escape from their eyes.
"I wish the girl's journey to the other side, to be peaceful" a big man called Gyomei Himejima, the Stone Hashira, let out a vast amount of tears.
"Tanjiro, what happened?" a yellow-haired boy asked.
"Kamaboko Gonpachiro, why are you crying?" a man wearing a boar's head asked.
The two visibly have severe injuries, but seeing their friend, Tanjiro, forced them to endure the painful sensation all over their body.
Tanjiro whispered, making the two speechless.
"Nezuko was killed"
"W-w-what?" Zenitsu is stupefied.
The Boarman remained quiet and asked after some time.
"Where do you plan to go now?" the Boarman, Inosuke, asked.
"To our home" Tanjiro said while sobbing.
The Boarman took off his mask, revealing an enchanting face filled with rage.
"You bastards, why did you kill Gonpachiro's sister!" Inosuke shouted.
"Who is that bastard who did it!" Inosuke lunged to the place with his two Nichirin Blades.
"Inosuke calm down!"
The yellow-haired boy tried to hold back Inosuke, accidentally being slashed by Inosuke.
"Zenitsu what are you doing!" Inosuke worriedly said.
"Are you an idiot?"
"There are Hashiras there, do you want to die just after Tanjiro's sister?" Zenitsu shouted while crying.
"But he killed Gonpachiro's sister!" Inosuke cried also like Zenitsu.
The Wind Hashira pounced on Inosuke trying to slash him also.
"Sanemi, enough!"
The man with a horrifying scar across his face stopped Sanemi.
"They can become traitors, Master Kagaya!" Sanemi defended himself.
"Don't you remember the betrayal of the former Thunder Hashira's pupil?" Sanemi argued.
"I said enough!" Kagaya Ubuyashiki scolded.
"Tsk" Sanemi expressed his disapproval.
"If you meaninglessly took lives like grass, what Is your difference to those accursed demons?"
Kagaya was angered by this ruffian behavior, Sanemi showed.
Sanemi vanished like a fleeting wind, disappearing from everyone's sight.
"Are we letting them be?" Muichiro Tokito, the Mist Hashira, asked.
"Let them be" Giyu Tomioka, the Water Hashira displayed his stance.
Kagaya only sighed and spoke.
"He is saddened by her sister's death, this is the only thing we can do, we cannot bring back the dead"
A strong wind blew as rain poured down, supporting the miserable situation of Tanjiro.
"Tanjiro, me and Inosuke will go with you" Zenitsu forcefully said.
Inosuke nodded, sharing his agreement.
Tanjiro's tears already stopped, as there were no more tears available to even flow by itself.
The bloodshot eyes of Tanjiro that hide his bubbling emotions, stared at the two, scaring both of them in the process.
"Yes, you can" Tanjiro calmly nodded.
The contrasting image of Tanjiro's face and his displayed calmness was truly a sight to see, albeit easily terrified people cannot face this kind of expression.
The two can only swallow their saliva and followed Tanjiro's steps.
"Nezuko, we're going home"
A terrifying aura was exuded as Tanjiro whispered.
Author's Note:
Skimming at Facebook videos, I came across a clip of Episode 22 of Demon Slayer, where Nezuko was stabbed multiple times by the Wind Hashira, Sanemi Shinazugawa.
Nezuko was tempted by the blood flowing in Sanemi's wrist after Sanemi cut it himself.
Nezuko refused and I can see that Sanemi's expression turned worse after seeing Nezuko refusing the blood.
If you went to search about Wind Hashira's life for a bit, he became a cold, dismissive and rude person after he lost all of his loved ones.
And the reason why he lost those important ones was because of the vile demons.
He absolutely hates all demons, you can only imagine him being comrades with a demon. It was like trying to make Tobirama Senju from Naruto befriend an Uchiha.
Anyway, unlike the scene Sanemi relented, I want to make an alternative path where…
What If Nezuko was killed in that episode…
You can only imagine Tanjiro's feelings, witnessing such an incident in front of him, powerless to do anything.
He can only hold his rage inside of him if he wants to avenge his sister.
Anyway, thank you to the readers who will try to read this amateurish work of mine, a writer would only write if someone actually reads it.
I hope that this fantasy of mine can be finished in this work and share my thoughts with many people.
