Smut last part of the story

Everyone is 18+

You reread what your parents had sent you, and you were appalled, to say the least. You were a light Hashira, and you were liked by all the Hashira. You, however, were closest to Rengoku, Mitsuri, Tokito, Zenitsu, Inosuke, and Tanjiro, as well as his sister Nezuko.

You were serious all the time, but you did have a fun side that barely anyone saw because you were focused on being the best. You had to be the best to make your parents stay away from you. You hated them, and out of spite, you became a demon slayer, but now they wanted you to marry a man who was almost fifty years old. You had several options to consider, but you were going to ask your closest friend something you never wanted to ask. He was a brother to you, and he knew you well. You never asked him for any favors in your entire life, so now you were going to ask him for one.

"Rengoku, do you have a moment?" You asked as he smiled at you.

"Of course I do," he said as you went into his room and closed the door.

You were barely able to save him from that powerful demon on that train. You made the demon think the sun was coming up faster than it was and scared it off before he could shove his hand into Rengokus's stomach. You also messed up that attack because it was the strongest attack you had and never attempted it before. It almost cost your life, but in the end, you both barely lived through that.

You sat in front of him and took a deep breath while he took a drink from his cup.

"Can you do me a favor?" You asked.

"Sure, anything," he smiled.

"Can you get me pregnant?" You asked as he nearly spat out his drink.

You never were good at asking for help with anything, and you had a roundabout way of asking for it. First was the question that would throw people off, and then they would ask why, and hopefully, he was going to understand what you were asking.

"No, first off, I see you as my sister. Second, I'm a lot older than you. Third, you are a food Hashira. Getting you pregnant would make you have no choice but to quit being a demon slayer. Why would you ask me to get you pregnant when there are other boys your age around?" He asked as you gave him the note your parents gave you.

After reading it, he put it down.

"How old is he?" He asked.

"Almost fifty," you answered.

"Why doesn't he have a wife right now?" He questioned.

"He did have seven, but they all committed suicide, ran away, or ended up dying due to diseases," you explained.

"Are you afraid of this man?" He asked.

"No, you know I can take care of myself," you said.

"You don't believe they died like that, do you?" He asked.

"I know him because he's from my village. He's wealthy and has anger issues. Why do you think I became a Hashira in the first place?" You asked as he read the paper again.

"So if you get beaten by one of us, you will have to marry," he said.

"Yes, that is the deal I made with my parents. I didn't think they would go this far," you said.

"They aren't coming here, are they?" He asked a bit concerned.

"No, the butterfly mansion since all the Hashira go there as well as civilizations from time to time," you answered.

"Great, I can do this favor. You know you could have just asked, and I would have said yes," he said as he got up.

"Asking for help is a sign of weakness to me. You know exactly how I was brought up," you answered as he smiled.

"I do, and they are wrong, but you will learn that one day," he smiled as he went to send messages out to the different Hashira.

You went out of his room and then shut the door. You had trust issues with people and tried to put your faith in them again, but it was hard. You fought demons that killed people, and they were once people themselves. You took a deep breath and sighed heavily. You were deep in thought when you saw Inosuke trying to get Zenitsu to fight with him. You smiled a bit as Inosuke was beating the heck out of him, and Tanjiro was struggling to learn a new move. You rolled your eyes, then went over them.

You remember when you and Inosukeforst met. He wanted to fight you, and so you fought him. You both went at each other for two straight days with some of the Hashira bringing food to watch you fight this guy. You weren't going fully easy on this guy, but you wanted to see how much of a brutal beating he could take from you. You both end up tiring each other out because you are both running out of steam. You both ended up fighting with your fists and punched him hard in the nuts winning. Since then, he still fought you from time to time, and you made sure not to go as easy on him. You both were always competing with each other, whether it was eating companions or fighting each other for practice. You rather liked Inosuke even though at times he was crazy. You weren't swine either half the time.

You burped after eating, which was considered rude. You beat your suitors, and you ate more than some of the men, which shocked them. You were mean sometimes because you didn't have a filter and said what was on your mind. You also wore pants, which to your family was men's clothing. But you considered them gender-neutral. You rarely smiled at anything, and even your jokes were dark and scary rather than funny. But the person who always made you crack the smallest smile was Inosuke because he was a lot like you in some ways.

"Tanjiro, your form sucks, Inosuke stop beating on little Zenitsu. You might make him pass out, and then he will fight you," you said as you blocked Inosuke's swords with yours.

"I can do whatever I want!" Inosuke yelled as you knocked off his boar head.

"Sure you can, but I say no. You all had enough training for today. Come eat," you said as Inosuke started fighting you instead.

"I offered you food," you said as he chuckled.

"Fight me! I have gotten better!" He said as you were now going after him.

After a few minutes, you decided to make him think he was winning against you. Once he got close enough, you kicked him in the nuts, making him immediately fall to the ground.

"Just as I thought you think with those rather than your head," you said with a small smile.

"That... that was dirty!" He growled.

"So is dirt, but you don't complain about that," you said as you were about to help him up when you heard a very annoying noise getting louder.

"Y/n! Oh y/n!" A boy yelled as he came to your side and gave you flowers.

"You shouldn't have," you said rather annoyed.

"I thought you would like them, so I was thinking we should go on a date," he smiled as Tanjiro was trying to get him to run as fast as he could away from you but he wasn't taking hints.

"Really, why?" You asked as you got close to him.

"Why? Because um when two people like each other, they go on dates," he explained.

"What did I say when you gave me the flowers?" You asked.

"You shouldn't have," he smiled.

"Why do you think I said that?" You asked.

"Because you like them?" He said more like a question.

"No, because I don't like you or the flowers," you said as you kicked him in the nuts, making him fall to the ground, and then vomit.

"Classy, I don't date. Men are pointless, and they do want to have children to pass on their family name. The only men I would ever like are my friends because they earned my trust and my respect, and if need be, I trust them with my life. Can you see where the problem is here? You have earned none of those things, and you frankly annoy me with how needy you are. Go find some other girl to carry your kids. I will carry no one's offspring," you said as you hit a pressure point and made him pass out.

"Guys coming or not?" You asked as you headed over to get some food.

"She's so scary!" Zenitsu said as you smiled a bit.

You didn't know if you should break the news to them or not about being forced to marry an old man. You decided not to say anything about it because they would defend you. You didn't want them to get mixed up in what you got yourself mixed up with. You grabbed a plate and started grabbing some food. Of course, as Inosuke got better, he started to try to eat more than you.

"I'm going to the butterfly mansion tomorrow. Keep training until I get back," you said as Tanjiro looked at you confused.

"Why are you going there?" Tanjiro asked.

"Personal business," you said.

"What about our eating companion?! Ditching us for personal business! Ha, you finally are scared of losing!" He laughed.

"No, I have other matters to deal with," you said.

"Then I'm going with you! The butterfly mansion has plenty of food. We can do it there then!" He said as you looked at him.

"I'll be busy, I'm not sure if I can do it tomorrow. We might have to do it on Thursday," you said.

"You made time for your business. You can make time for this!" He said, annoyed as you smiled a bit.

"Fine, I'll try to make it quick," you said.

Even though you had your doubts, it was going to be that easy.
