Regret

Should I just go inside? I don't really want to sit here for god knows how long they stayed in that big ass mansion.

Fuck it, here I come!

And then I entered it.

It's so dark in here, how creepy.

"Even so, it pains me that you left them behind! I mean, it's more precious to me than my life!"

"Mochi." I say from behind Zenitsu.

"WAAAAAA!!"

Oh, seems like I accidentally scared him.

"Y/N! Why did you come here too?! Oh no…"

Tanjiro says, entirely ignoring his scared friend.

"We should probably go back outside-" He says, but before he could even do anything, the house started trembling and making creaking noises, Zenitsu gets even more scared and accidentally pushed Tanjiro and Teruko with his butt, shoving them in another room.

I'm so glad I didn't get too close to Tanjiro, that spinning room where he fought with the demon would probably make me vomit.

"Sorr-" Zenitsu tries to apologize, only to see that they got separated from us.

"I'm gonna die! I'm as good as dead! I'm telling you! Tanjiro got split up from us!"

"Teruko! Teruko!" Shoichi screams, looking for his sister.

"Don't yell like that! What if the bad guys hear you?! Come on, let's go outside!"

"Wha- Why outside? Are you trying to leave for yourself?!"

"Eh?"

"All this constant yammering about dying, aren't you ashamed of yourself? Why are wearing that sword on your hip anyway? If you are going to act like this, shouldn't you just give it to this girl instead? She at least has more posture than you."

"Those words cut so deep…" He falls dramatically, before suddenly getting up and starting dragging both Shoichi and Y/N to the front door. "Of course she has more posture than me, she doesn't even understand what's going on! I'm not gonna be of any use anyway, so I'm just gonna summon a grow-up here, okay?!"

"Let me go!"

He opens what he thought it was the front door, only to see a completely different room. "YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME! ARE YOU SERIOUS?! I'M SURE THIS WAS THE FRONT DOOR!"

He then starts opening random doors in a desperate attempt to find the exit. "What about this one?!" Zenitsu exclaims, opening the door only to come face to face with a boar mask, Inosuke slowly looked at the three of us, honestly, his introduction was so menacing, but I can't really take him seriously anymore after seeing his face.

"It's a monster!" He shrieks, hugging me like I was a stuffed animal, his weight on me making me go down, both of us fall to the floor in response, Inosuke jumps above us and runs in a random direction.

Zenitsu had both his hands on each side of my head, you know, it would be a pretty romantic scene if we weren't in a creepy house with a dirty floor and demons walking around.

I just put my hand on his face and shoved him to the side, making him fall beside me, I just wanted to get up already, I hate feeling dirty and if it depended on him, we would stay the rest of the day on that musty floor.

I go to Shoichi, who was watching the whole thing with a disappointed look, and offered my hand to him.

"Teruko." I said in hopes he would understand that I was going to help in looking for his sister.

Luckily, he seemed to understand what I meant and took my hand. I started to guide him to a random direction.

"DON'T LEAVE ME BEHIND!" Zenitsu screams, running to catch us.

I could almost see the flowers floating around him, he looked weirdly happy, I don't think this happened in the anime? I wonder if it's because of what happened before. 

Should I get worried about that changing the story? Ah, whatever, everything will just fix itself when he meets Nezuko anyway, and he is naturally happy when he has contact with any woman, I don't have to consider myself to be special or anything, it's not like I am the protagonist of some book.

After some time walking around, Shoichi speaks up. "Excuse me Zenitsu…"

Zenitsu shriek and clings to me, trembling like a wet dog in rain. "G-g-give me a signal first! It feels like my heart missed a beat!"

"I'm sorry… It's just, you have been shaking, gasping and sweating so horribly…"

"What about it? Aren't I doing the best I can here?"

"Well, forgive me for saying so, but you are making me feel nervous too."

"Oh no! Sorry about that! But even so, if we talk too much, those demons might find us, right?!"

A weird noise caught everyone attention, we look in the direction of the sound, and here it was, a creepy demon walking on fours.

"A few kids. Probably most agreeable to the tongue."

"A DEMON SHOWED UP! YOU GOT IT?! A DEMON SHOWED UP!" Zenitsu screams, taking my hand and running in a random direction, Shoichi also being dragged along since I was still holding his hand.

"W-w-we don't taste good! I'm sure I taste awful! I'm serious okay?! This kid's is all skin and bones, and that girl, since you are a demon you will die if you eat an angel!"

"How will I know until I have a taste?" The demon says, shooting his tongue in our direction, Zenitsu managed to dodge it, making the demon destroy a vase which was in the way instead.

"What was that?! He's quick-tonged! Even able to split a vase in two!"

The demon shoots his tongue again, Zenitsu once again dodging. "This can't be real!" He screams as he ended up guiding us to the same room he took Shoichi in the anime.

"Zenitsu! Get up!"

"It's in my knees now! Eighty percent of my fear is in my knees now!"

The demon craws closer to us.

"Just leave me behind, okay?! Get a run for it!"

"I can't do that!"

"I'm gonna guzzle your brains though your ears!"

That was Zenitsu's last straw, he then passes out on the floor.

"Zenitsu!" Shoichi yells, only to see that he's asleep. Peacefully. "What's up with him?"

The demon gets closer.

I drag Zenitsu with me to the back of the room, while putting my arm in front of Shoichi in an attempt to show that I was trying to protect him, I already know that Zenitsu will save us, but he didn't.

"Die!" The demon says, shooting his tongue in our direction, only for it to be cut before it even got remotely close to us.

Huh? Did he react faster than in the anime? Nah, I'm probably hallucinating.

Zenitsu finally stands up and shield both me and Shoichi, bending down to a weird position and grabbing the hilt of his sword. "Thunder breathing, first form. Thunderclap and flash!"

The neck of the demon was rapidly cut, I honestly could barely see Zenitsu moving, it was the first time that I have seen a breath form, how exciting!

Zenitsu wakes up, only to see the disintegrating corpse of the demon. "HE'S DEAD! HE SUDDENLY DIED!"

Shoichi just looked at him with a blank expression, while I was just waiting for him to stop freaking out.

Zenitsu looks at us, his face suddenly changes to a shocked expression.

"Y/N…don't tell me…"

"....?"

He grabs me, hugging me tightly with his face against my chest.

"Thank you! You saved me! I didn't even know you were that powerful! Since you saved my life, I must marry you in return right?!"

...What did I do to deserve to be in this situation? The judging look that Shoichi is giving us is also not helping.

I suddenly regret coming inside the house.
