IS THE PLOT EVEN SERIOUS AT THIS POINT?! — CHAPTER #44 — DICK, DICK, DICK!

————————————————————
Little note:
I think this is the most dumbest chapter I've ever written.
————————————————————

Just as Gyutaro narrowly avoided getting his head sliced off, he managed to evade the attack by mere centimeters, but it still resulted in a deep gash on his neck. Uzui swiftly retracted his sword and struck a flashy pose, scoffing at the missed opportunity to finish off the upper moon six. "Fuck, I botched the chance to finish off this one!"

Daki groaned, holding her head in her hands, still feeling the pain from Uzui's previous beheading. "You beheaded me again! Dammit! What is wrong with you?! Damn you— huh?" Her complaints halted as she noticed something amiss. Her eyes widened in surprise as she tilted her head to get a better look, realizing that her braid had come undone, most likely due to Uzui's relentless attacks. She gasped audibly, her voice filled with disbelief. "M-My braid..." She muttered with a hint of sadness.

Gyutaro looked at her in mild astonishment. Was she really so worried about her braid? Her head had been literally severed twice now, and yet, she was concerned about her hairstyle.

Daki's lips trembled, and she touched her hair gently. Her eyes filled with tears as she bit her lip in sadness. "HOW DARE YOU!? OUT OF EVERYTHING YOU COULD'VE DONE, YOU HAD TO DO THIS! AHHHHH!" She cried out in annoyance, her emotions running high.

'Damn, it's just a simple braid. Why is she making such a big deal about it?' Gyutaro couldn't help but scoff at his sister's behavior, finding her childish attachment to the hairstyle somewhat irritating. However, a part of him felt a twinge of guilt, knowing that even though she was being dramatic, she was still the sister he cared for deeply.

Unknown to Gyutaro, the reason behind Daki's strong attachment to the braid was that it was likely the only tangible reminder she had of you. The fight with Tanjiro had caused destruction, including the Kyogoku house where the flowers you gave her were kept. With no other physical connection to you, the braid held significant sentimental value for her, despite its simplicity.

Gyutaro sighed, breaking his thoughts. "You made her cry but let's forget that for a second... you're onto us, aren't you?" He accused Uzui with a hint of irritation. The man only smirked in response. "Not that finding out about us will do you any good. Since you're going to die a slow and steady death, anyway! Even as we speak, we're creeping toward victory, aren't we?"

As the tension grew, three unexpected figures made their presence known by crashing through a big hole in the house. It was none other than you, Zenitsu, and Inosuke. "HAHA, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT, SPIDER LOOKING ASS BITCH! BETTER NOT FORGET ME! NOT ONLY YOURS TRULY, LORD INOSUKE, BUT MY MINIONS ARE HERE AS WELL!" Inosuke proclaimed with excitement and confidence.

"Zzz..." Zenitsu stood there silently, still in a deep slumber.

"..." You, on the other hand, couldn't hide your nervousness. Despite your efforts to appear tough, the gravity of the situation weighed heavily on you. The real battle was about to begin, and the danger felt more palpable than ever. 'SHIT!Tonight is the day I die for real! AIN'T NO WAY IM SURVIVING THIS ONE! I ALMOST DIED AT THE MUGEN TRAIN ARC!' You thought anxiously, sweat forming in your forehead.

...

"Fuck, you two are the worst minions ever." Inosuke grumbled, unimpressed by your and Zenitsu's lack of coolness at the moment.

"(Y/N)..." Daki muttered softly, catching your attention. Though you lacked the demon slayer uniform, she had no doubt about your identity. You were a demon slayer. A part of her felt relieved that you seemed to be alright, but another part was distressed by the circumstances surrounding your presence. She didn't want you to see her in this state, but it was too late now. She sighed, grappling with her emotions and unsure about what to do next.

Gyutaro noticed the change in Daki's demeanor and observed her interaction with you. He couldn't help but feel intrigued by your presence and wondered what made you so important. "Who the hell are these guys?" He inquired, more to himself than anyone else. As he saw the pained expression in Daki's eyes, he almost connected the dots, realizing that you were indeed (Y/N)—the one Muzan wanted and the reason his sister acted so differently. You were an enigma to him, and he pondered your significance and potential power.

"Warabihime..." You responded to Daki calling your name earlier.

"..." Slowly, she stood up, already having healed completely. She stood silent with her head down as she put her hands on her hips, her attitude turning into one completely different. "HAHAHA! We meet again! Sorry to tell you that Warabihime is not my real name." She exclaimed. "My real name is Daki!" She laughed like a villain while pointing at you firmly. Her laughter and actions seemed to serve as a diversion from her earlier moment of vulnerability. However, you noticed the pain in her eyes, and you knew there was more to her than met the eye.

Just as she was talking, Tanjiro had arrived too, jumping in-front of Uzui with his sword in hand, ready for any attack.

"Shit, fuck me... they keep appearing like cockroaches..." Gyutaro muttered in annoyance.

"HAHAHA! (Y/N)! NOW YOU KNOW MY TERRIBLE SECRET!" Daki smirked, making a villain pose that in your opinion, made her look more silly than anything. Paying attention to her words, you got confused. What was her terrible secret? You stood still, your eyes squinting around the place, trying to think of the answer to her statement.

...

"Uh, you're gay?" You tilted your head. "It's fine if you're gay Daki, I always knew."

"Whu— what? N-No!" Her whole villain demeanor dropped while sadness took her face. Her devastated expression with her pout, plus the puppy eyes made it difficult for you to not coo at her. "M-My secret is that I'm a demon! Upper rank six nonetheless! :( "

"Oh." You accidentally said at loud, not surprised at all. "I mean—I always knew so yeah."

"You... You knew?" Daki asked in disbelief, seeking confirmation from you.

"Yes, I've known for quite some time." You replied with a calm tone, tightening your grip on your sword as you noticed Daki's bewildered expression. Her mouth hung slightly open, lost in thought, and you couldn't help but wonder what was going through her mind.

Daki's thoughts were racing, trying to process the fact that you were aware of her being a demon. Although she had suspected it, the realization that you, a demon slayer, knew her true identity was still shocking. A sudden worry crept into her mind—had you been trying to get close to her only to betray and kill her? Did all the time you spent together meant nothing to you? These thoughts caused her heart to ache.

"Tch." Scoffed. Gyutaro. "Summon all the underlings you want, but there'll be no blissful future waiting for you! You're all going to die anyway, so stop staring with those sparkling eyes!"

Tanjiro's mind was racing as well. He noticed that there were now two demons present, which confused him. He also realized that Daki was not dead, which made him wonder if both demons were part of the Upper Six. The fear and nervousness he felt in the presence of Gyutaro were unusual for him. Tanjiro tried to reassure himself, but the fear kept creeping in, making him question his own emotions.

You noticed Tanjiro's nervousness and felt worried about him. In the original plot, he wasn't this nervous, so you decided you had to do something to help him relax. Remembering how Uzui reassured everyone in the original timeline, you decided to take a bold approach to boost Tanjiro's confidence. At least anything to distract him from getting anxious. Stepping forward, you caught everyone's attention. With anticipation in the air, you closed your eyes briefly and then rapidly opened them, pointing directly at Gyutaro. "HEY! YOU! I HAVE AN IMPORTANT QUESTION TO ASK!"

"Huh?" Gyutaro was genuinely surprised by your sudden attention, and silence filled the space as everyone waited for your question. You took a deep breath, clenching your fists, and prepared to speak your mind.

...

"WILL YOU BE MY BOYFRIEND?!" You yelled at the top of your lungs, your cheeks turning red as you maintained a serious expression. "YOU'RE VERY HANDSOME! AND THOSE ARE SOME NICE BAGGY PANTS! WANT ME TO TAKE THEM OFF FROM YOU!? YOU'LL LOOK BETTER WITHOUT THEM!"

"...!" The unexpected declaration left everyone thunderstruck. Imaginary thunderbolts and sharp arrows seemed to strike Daki's and Tanjiro's hearts, shocking them to their core. Tanjiro was so taken aback that he even dropped his sword, gasping for air.

"HOLY SHIT!" Uzui blurted out, completely caught off guard by your statement, momentarily forgetting about the poison affecting him. Zenitsu clenched his fists, while even Nezuko, who was still in her box, furrowed her brows in irritation.

Tanjiro's mind raced, filled with worry. Was Gyutaro your type?! Did he have no chance with you? The battle's anxiety seemed to be replaced by his own insecurities about your feelings.

"Minion, it's not okay to lie." Inosuke, in his own unique way, tried to console you, patting your head and suggesting that you didn't need to lie about your feelings.

"I-I'M NOT LYING THOUGH?!!" You protested, surprised by everyone's reaction. Though you acknowledged that your words might not have been the most appropriate, they weren't entirely false either. Noticing Gyutaro's widened eyes and flushed cheeks, you realized that your compliment had genuinely flustered him. It seemed to be the first time anyone, especially a girl, had ever said something positive about him instead of insulting him.

"DAMN, GIRL! YOU'RE BOLD! YOUR TASTE IN MEN SURE IS WEIRDLY FLASHY IN A CERTAIN WAY!" Uzui doubled over, clutching his belly, as waves of unrestrained laughter consumed him.

"I-I JUST SAID THE FIRST THING THAT CAME TO MY MIND!" Your face turned bright red as all eyes were focused on your clumsy figure.

"SO YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT YOUR FIRST THOUGHT ABOUT HIM WAS THAT YOU WANTED TO SEE HIS DING DONG!?" With tears of laughter streaming down his face, he struggled to catch his breath, but the merriment wouldn't let up.

"SHUT UP! DON'T SAY THAT! YOU MAKE ME SOUND LIKE A PERVERT!" Your heart raced with both embarrassment and indignation as you tried to defend yourself against the false accusation.

"YOU ARE THOUGH! YOU WANT TO SEE HOW HIS BACON BAZOOKA LOOKS LIKE!" His uncontrollable giggles bubbled up from within, leaving him gasping for breath between fits of laughter. His body was aching from the poison and the fact that he was laughing so much, didn't help him at all.

"STOPPPP! I JUST SAID A RANDOM PICK UP LINE! well—not that I'll mind if he wanted to show me his yogurt launcher—"

"BAHAHHAHA—YOU WANT HIS COCK SO BAD THAT YOU'RE MAKING ME FEEL EMBARRASSED!" His face turned red as he was chocking with his saliva but that didn't stop him from continuing laughing at you.

"LETS STOP TALKING ABOUT THIS ALREADY!" You snapped. This was too much embarrassment for you to handle.

"Ohhh! I finally get it! You want his wee-wee!" Inosuke exclaimed while stars surrounded him. He didn't understood at the beginning but at the mention of "cock", he was able to understand everything. "I can get you a mantis that looks like him or sum shit!"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" You yelled as you went and gave him a punch on his stomach.

"CURSE YOU, DAMMIT!" Inosuke was not a pussy. He rapidly went to punch you back but you evaded his attack. However, you failed to notice how his hand was going for your hair. He grabbed it and pulled it hard, making you whine while you without wasting time started pulling his cheek with roughness. "LET GO OF ME!"

"NAH! YOU LET GOT OF ME FIRST!"

"NEVER!"

"FUCK YOU THEN!" You yelled as he kept pulling your hair like you were pulling his cheek. Uzui who was the older figure, was not helping at all. He just kept laughing his ass off. What a great influence. At least the only ones doing nothing related to the word chaos were Zenitsu and Nezuko.

'...(Y/N) is interested on dicks?!' Tanjiro thought with a shock and serious expression. His face was red like his hair but that did not interrupt his important question. He needed to remember any detail of things you liked! He required to himself to become someone worthy of your affection!

Uzui couldn't stop laughing as you and Inosuke engaged in a heated skirmish, while Nezuko and Zenitsu expressed their anger and frustration through pouting. Tanjiro was still battling with his thoughts of what actually was your type. Gyutaro, still somewhat flustered from the earlier events, found himself facing Daki, who was seething with rage and clenching her fists so tightly it seemed as if they might shatter.

Daki's irritation was evident as she approached Gyutaro with purpose. He was taken aback, finally breaking out of his daze upon seeing his sister's intense demeanor. The tension in the air grew palpable as Daki stood before him, refusing to speak initially.

"Daki...? What's wrong?" Gyutaro began, concern etched on his face.

But before he could understand the situation, Daki erupted in fury, shouting at the top of her lungs. "I HATE YOU! DIE! DIE! YOU'RE THE WORST BROTHER EVER!" Her punches landed on his chest with force, though Gyutaro's supernatural resilience rendered them ineffective. Tears welled up in Daki's eyes as she continued. "IDIOT! HOW DARE YOU MAKE (Y/N) FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU!! IT'S NOT FAIR! NOT FAIR!"

Gyutaro, caught off guard, tried to reason with his emotional sister. "D-Daki! Stop already! We're in the middle of a battle! I'll not date that human!"

Seizing the opportunity to add a touch of mischief to the situation, you decided to playfully aggravate things further. With a small pout, you teased. "Huh? So you're saying you don't ever want to be my boyfriend at all?"

Gyutaro stammered surprised. "NEVER IS A STRONG WORD—"

"KKKYAAAAAAAAAAAA!!" Daki's reaction took an even more dramatic turn. Her crying intensified as she intensified her punches, expressing her frustration with the situation. "YOU'RE THE WORST! OUT OF EVERYONE ELSE, IT HAD TO BE (Y/N)!! YOU'RE MY BROTHER, HOW COULD YOU HAVE DONE THIS TO MEEEEE!? WHAAAAAAAAA!!"

Panicking, Gyutaro pleaded with her to stop, even trying to protect his hair as Daki pulled at it with all her might. "D-Daki! Stop! Wait—not the hair! Leave my hair alone!"

The rest of you watched this spectacle unfold with a mix of amusement and concern, sweatdrops forming as you observed the sibling drama. 'I think there's a small possibility—only a small one, that the plot is just a bit different from the original one... but only a bit.'

Inosuke couldn't resist commenting on the scene. "NAHHH, jit trippin! Jit fighting in the middle of our battle!"

"Let's all calm down and focus on the fight!" You suggested, hoping to bring some order back to the chaos.

Zenitsu, who had been silent until now, couldn't help but join the chaos. "Nah, let them. This is actually kind of entertaining."

"This is funny and all but, someone help tanjiro." Uzui pointed out to the boy who was still shocked by your earlier question towards Gyutaro. "I think you broke him."

"Sorry..." You apologized. It looked like you were apologizing for Tanjiro's current state but you were also apologizing for damaging the plot so much, even though they'll never know.
