HORRIBLE PARTY. ANYWAYS, — CHAPTER #5 — KAMABOKO SQUAD! ASSEMBLE!

Ever since that fight with the demon, the three of you began walking to look for the door that lead to the outside world but it was almost imposible. You were even beginning to get sick of been stuck in here for so long.

"Um... Didn't we passed that vase before?" Asked Shoichi.

"Shit! I was literally just about to say that!" Screamed Zenitsu, putting his hands on his hair due to the stress he was feeling.

"Oh my god, don't tell me we've been walking in circles?"

"I think we just did!"

You were on high alert, fully aware that at any moment, the room could suddenly shift or rotate, forcefully ejecting everyone from the mansion. Your plan was to position yourself in a way that would shield Zenitsu and Shoichi from the impending fall, using your own body as a protective barrier.

"Then let's try opening that door! Do it Zenitsu!" The boy said as he held your hand and hid behind your figure. Shoichi wouldn't admit it that easy but he actually kind of finds reassurance and security with your presence around. Probably he started feeling that way in the aftermath of your fight the snake demon. After that, without exaggeration, you became the most coolest girl he has ever seen in his life.

"HUH? HELL NO?! WHAT IF IT'S A TRAP!?" Zenitsu denied, not wanting to put himself on any posible danger. Ironic since some minutes ago, he was talking about being the strongest demon slayer. "(Y/N) is super strong, so maybe-"

"Huh? So you're telling me that you're gonna send big sis to possible danger? you scum-"

"I was kidding! I would never send my angel to something dangerous!"

Zenitsu positioned himself in front of you, cautiously reaching out to open the door with a deliberate slowness. However, before he could even cast a glance inside the room, the sound of drums reverberated throughout the space, and to your astonishment, the entire environment began rotating rapidly, inducing a state of utter chaos and disarray. It was an overwhelming experience but you looked a bit excited.

'Hell yeah! This means Tanjiro defeated the demon! This must be our cue to finally get out!' You cherished to yourself.

As if the mansion had eavesdropped on your thoughts, in the blink of an eye, you and the duo were forcefully expelled through the window of the second floor. Just as you had meticulously planned, you embraced Shoichi tightly and somehow managed to secure Zenitsu in your grasp, ensuring their safety during the impending fall. However, little did you know, this decision would prove to be disastrous.

Despite your practice of martial arts, you couldn't compare your strength in these type of life or death cases. While Zenitsu might have experienced worse situations and sustained minimal injuries from the fall like in the anime, the same couldn't be said for you. With the weight of two people upon you, the impact upon landing was severe, endangering your life. Your head suffered a profuse and alarming amount of bleeding, while your entire body throbbed with agonizing pain, reminding you of the grave consequences of your decision.

'A-Ah... Fuck. I'm never acting as a h-hero again... AH, I'M DYING...' You blacked out, making Shoichi and Zenitsu cry in despair at such scene. The thoughts of you dying, made these two terrified.

"(Y/NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN)!!! NOOOOO!! DON'T DIE ON US!!! OH FUCK! FUCK! (Y/N), WAKE UP! PLEASE! DON'T DO THIS TO ME! WIFEY?!" Without a doubt, Zenitsu has lost it.

"Big sis! Big sis!" Cried the poor boy Shoichi.

After what felt like an eternity, you finally regained consciousness. Your eyelids fluttered open, revealing a blurry scene before you. Through the haze, you saw the two boys, tears streaming down their faces, their voices filled with frantic desperation as they repeatedly called out your name. The sight of you awakening, seemed to unleash a torrent of relief upon them, pushing them to the brink of fainting. Shoichi, with every ounce of strength, had to exert himself to restrain Zenitsu, preventing him from engulfing you in an overpowering embrace.

"(Y/N)! You're alive! You're alive! My heart is going to pop out! (Y/N)!"

"Shit, Zenitsu! Don't hug big sis yet! You could hurt her!"

With the boys' help, you slowly lowered yourself into a seated position. The pain still lingered, but fortunately, it started to diminish, causing less and less distress with each passing moment. You felt a sense of relief as the discomfort gradually subsided, allowing you to find some respite.

"Big sis, are you okay?!" You somehow were able to comprehend a bit his question and responded with a reassuring thumbs-up. Shoichi's anxiety eased momentarily upon seeing your gesture, granting him a brief moment of peace. However, your tranquility was abruptly shattered when...

"BOAR RUSH! BOAR RUSH! HERE I COME!" Inosuke ran and used his head to destroy the doors. "HAHAHAHA! I SENSE A DEMON! WHERE IS IT?!"

"Wait! I recognize that annoying voice! He was one of the survivors in the final selection!" Zenitsu exclaimed nervously, a tinge of panic evident on his expression. His eyes widened as he noticed Inosuke zeroing in on the precious box that held great significance to Tanjiro. "AHA! I'VE FOUND IT!" Inosuke triumphantly declared.

Reacting swiftly, Zenitsu dashed toward it, extending both arms in a protective stance. "Stop it, you lousy cow! I won't let you lay a finger on this! This is incredibly important to Tanjiro!"

"The fuck are you talking about, you bitch?! There's a demon inside, don't you realize that?!" Inosuke retorted, his voice filled with frustration.

"Of course! Of course, I knew that right from the beginning!" Zenitsu began explaining his unique ability to hear the sound of people and how he had intended to inquire about the box directly from Tanjiro at a later time.

As the heated discussion unfolded, you found yourself momentarily lost in thought, observing Zenitsu's passionate defense of the box. You couldn't help but be enamored by his endearing nature, a blend of sweetness and kindness, yet flawed in his own way, which only added to his charm. This is why you loved his character so much. However, your brief reverie was abruptly interrupted by the sound of a forceful punch. Their verbal dispute had escalated into a physical confrontation, and you had no intention of idly standing by. Determined, you prepared yourself to intervene and put an end to their escalating conflict.

As you stood up, ready to take action, Shoichi quickly grabbed hold of your hand, pleading with you. "Big sis, please don't go in there..." Your heart warmed at his concern, and you gently patted his head, offering him a reassuring smile that conveyed your belief that everything would work out. Reluctantly, he released his grip on you, though his eyes remained filled with worry.

As you readied yourself for the impending confrontation, you stretched your arms, focusing on your knuckles to ensure they were prepared for the fight. However, before you could fully immerse yourself in the battle, Zenitsu's voice pierced through the chaos, catching you off guard.

"(Y/N)! Don't get involved in this! I c-can't allow you to get hurt any f-further!" Zenitsu shouted, his words filled with concern and desperation, even as he continued to engage in combat with the overpowering Inosuke.

"STOP TALKING TO HER! YOU'RE FIGHTING ME RIGHT NOW!" Inosuke bellowed, punctuating his words with hard-hitting punches that landed on Zenitsu's face and body.

Feeling bewildered by their exchange, you found yourself tilting your head in confusion, unsure of what Zenitsu's plea truly meant. However, a realization dawned upon you, a seemingly silly but plausible interpretation. He must be fighting Inosuke, and was entrusting you with a crucial task: to take the box away from the skirmish. A smile graced your lips as you embraced this newfound understanding. You made a decision to place your trust in Zenitsu's intentions and seized the box, determined to protect it with all your might, even if it meant diverting your attention from the ongoing battle.

"HEY! YOU, WOMAN! WHERE THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING WITH THAT DAMN BOX?!"

Reacting swiftly, you spun around, clutching the box tightly in your hand, as a clamor of voices drew near. The menacing figure of Inosuke emerged, his intentions evident as he lunged towards you, his hand aimed at your hair, intending to yank it forcefully. However, in a moment of sheer timing, Zenitsu swooped in, wrapping his arms around Inosuke's head, creating a headlock that prevented him from executing his aggressive move. Zenitsu's intervention halted Inosuke's actions, serving as a shield to safeguard you from harm.

"HEY, YOU STUPID BOAR! DON'T TREAT MY FUTURE WIFE LIKE THAT!" Zenitsu punched him in the face, something that didn't happened in the anime since he only focused on protecting the box.

'Aw!' You cooed at the yellow-haired boy. 'My baby is changing so much! Look at him fighting! Nezuko, you must be so lucky to have such a precious boy like him protecting you! I'm almost even jealous, haha!'

"AGH! YOU'RE MAKING ME SO ANNOYED, YOU YELLOW MOP!" As the fierce battle between Inosuke and Zenitsu raged on, it became increasingly apparent that Zenitsu was bearing the brunt of the onslaught, far beyond what had transpired in the anime. Inosuke's attacks intensified, inflicting more damage upon him than expected. Witnessing this distressing turn of events, concern welled up within you, causing you to reevaluate the situation and recognize Zenitsu's dire need for assistance. Anger ignited within you as you witnessed him being relentlessly pummeled and mistreated.

Your fists clenched tightly, your frustration and determination growing palpable. In a swift motion, you rushed to Shoichi, urgently passing him the box for safekeeping. With a fierce gaze fixed upon Inosuke, you braced yourself for an act of vengeance. Inosuke, sensing your approaching presence, released his grip on Zenitsu's shirt, allowing him to collapse onto the floor unceremoniously. Seizing this opportune moment, fueled by sheer anger, you pursed your lips in a display of fury.

"Hey, you motherfucking peppa pig wannabe!" With a surge of adrenaline coursing through your veins, every muscle in your body tensed as you launched yourself toward Inosuke. Time seemed to slow down as you propelled through the air, a fierce determination etched upon your face. In a matter of seconds, you propelled yourself towards Inosuke, leaping into the air and delivering a powerful kick. As your foot connected with Inosuke's ribs, a resounding crack echoed through the air, the force of the blow causing his body to jolt. The sound of breaking bones reverberated, intermingling with the gasps and exclamations from those witnessing the scene unfold.

"B-BIG SIS!!" Screamed Shoichi, shocked of your bold attack and concerned for your well-being. You literally were thrown out of a second floor with two bodies on top of you and now you entered into a fight with a maniac! How could he not be worried for you?

Inosuke stumbled back, his composure momentarily shaken by the impact of your kick. Taking advantage of the momentary lull, you hurriedly dashed toward Zenitsu, shaking him with a mix of concern and urgency. A touch of exaggerated panic laced your voice as you exclaimed, "Zenitsu! Oh my goodness, you're alive! I thought you were about to take an express trip to heaven for a second there!" Your words, though not entirely comprehensible to Zenitsu, carried a contagious happiness that managed to elicit a small, albeit pained, smile from him.

"(Y/N), don't worry about me... are YOU okay?!" Zenitsu managed to convey, his voice strained but resolute.

As you tilted your head in confusion, attempting to grasp the significance of his words, an eerie and maniacal laughter abruptly filled the air. The sound sent a shiver down your spine, causing you to instinctively hold Zenitsu a little tighter. Turning your gaze towards the source of the unsettling laughter, you found yourself face-to-face with Inosuke, who was now the one cackling uncontrollably. The three of you—Zenitsu, Shoichi, and yourself—exchanged bewildered and deadpan expressions, thoroughly perplexed by Inosuke's sudden shift in behavior.

"AHHH! FUCK!" You almost died as you saw how close he was to you. "THE FUCK DO YOU WANT, BITCH? I AIN'T SCARED OF YOU! MOTHERFUCKER!" You had tears on your eyes and you were trembling so much that Zenitsu felt he was experiencing an earthquake.

Inosuke's gaze bore into you, an intense and unsettling expression etched across his face. Zenitsu, still recovering from the laughter-induced daze, began shooting sparks of indignation towards Inosuke, while Shoichi clung onto Tanjiro's precious box a little farther away. Your heart pounded in your chest as a sudden wave of nervousness washed over you, leaving you inexplicably jittery.

"Punch me again." Inosuke demanded, his voice commanding and forceful.

...

Your eyes widened in disbelief. "...what?"

"PUNCH ME AGAIN, WOMANNNN!" Inosuke's voice boomed, a mix of determination and a hint of madness.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" Fear gripped you, causing you to let out a piercing scream, instinctively shutting your eyes tightly in response to the overwhelming pressure.

"EY, HOMELESS PIG! DON'T TALK TO HER LIKE THA-" Before Zenitsu could interject and come to your defense, Inosuke swiftly silenced him with a well-aimed kick to the face, rendering him momentarily speechless.

"I AIN'T TALKING TO YOU!" Boar boy had enough from Zenitsu's bullcrap.

"AHHH! ZENITSU!! You cried out, your concern for him evident in your voice. However, Inosuke seized your cheeks with an iron grip, his demand for another punch resounding in your ears.

"COME ON, WOMAN! PUNCH ME! PUNCH ME THE HARDEST THAT YOU CAN! COME ON!"

"AHHHHHHHH, RAHHHHHH, LEAVE ME ALONE! I HAVE FAMILY AND FRIENDS! I HAVE SO MUCH TO LIVE FOR, HAVE MERCY ON MEEEEE!!"

"WHAT FUCKING LANGUAGE ARE YOU SPEAKING BRO!?" Inosuke asked as he squeezed more your cheeks, making you more nervous and turning you into a mess because of the panicking that was traveling through your body.

"EKKKKK!! I SAID, LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!" In a burst of adrenaline and with a resounding yell, you delivered a mighty punch directly to Inosuke's masked face. The impact reverberated through the air, causing Inosuke to stumble backward in surprise. As you peered at him with a mixture of unease and anticipation, unsure of how he would react to your audacious strike, you noticed something unexpected. Inosuke's eyes, shining with a newfound admiration, sparkled from beneath his mask. The intensity of his gaze sent a shiver down your spine, and you found yourself swallowing nervously.

"YEAH! THAT'S IT! JUST LIKE THAT!" Inosuke roared, his voice filled with exhilaration. "YOU'RE INCREDIBLE! YOU'RE THE STRONGEST PERSON I'VE EVER ENCOUNTERED! NO ONE ELSE HAS DARED TO FIGHT ME LIKE THAT! LET'S GO, STAND UP AND FIGHT ME, WOMAN!"

"B-Brother, p-please, let me be! I'm not understanding anything that you're saying!"

Ignoring your pleas and disregarding your physical discomfort, Inosuke stubbornly grasped your arm, forcing you to stand up against your will. Confusion overwhelmed you as you pondered your current state of mind. Just a few hours ago, you had fearlessly confronted a demon, and mere moments ago, you had unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks upon Inosuke. So why, in this particular moment, were you gripped by an irrational fear? The sheer absurdity of the situation dawned on you, overwhelming your senses. Everything happening around you and the fact that you were truly on the world of Kimetsu no Yaiba was beyond belief, pushing you to the brink of incredulity.

And in the midst of this chaotic scene, imagine Tanjiro's astonishment as he emerged from the mansion. Zenitsu lay unconscious, Shoichi clung to the box with tears streaming down his face, and there you were, caught in the clutches of a boar-headed boy, your tears flowing freely. The sight was undoubtedly bewildering to Tanjiro, who couldn't help but focus on your overwhelmed expression.

Something clicked within him as he witnessed your distress, prompting him to act without hesitation. "YOU! KNOCK IT OFF YOU SCUM!" Without a second thought, he delivered a powerful punch to Inosuke's ribs, causing them to crack once again. The comical absurdity of the moment mingled with a sense of protective determination, as Tanjiro came to your aid in the most direct and forceful way possible. "Aren't you ashamed of yourself?! Making a lady cry like that! What the hell is wrong with you?!"

With concern etched across his face, Tanjiro rushed to your side, his eyes scanning your form for any signs of injury. "Are you okay, (Y/N)?! Did you get hurt?" He exclaimed, his voice filled with genuine worry. To your surprise, Tanjiro reached inside his haori and retrieved a soft handkerchief, gently offering it to you. You accepted it gratefully, using it to wipe away your tears and clear your nose, feeling a sense of comfort in his small gesture of kindness.

As you composed yourself, a glimmer of understanding crossed Tanjiro's eyes when you pointed in the direction of Zenitsu. Without hesitation, he nodded, recognizing the urgency of the situation. With a determined stride, he rushed over to his side, assessing his condition.

Meanwhile, Shoichi, tears streaming down his face, finally reunited with his siblings Teruko and Kiyoshi. The trio embraced tightly, finding solace in each other's presence after the harrowing events they had endured.

"Zenitsu! Can you hear me? Zenitsu!" Tanjiro tried calling for the blonde. He was pretty beaten up, leaving the burgundy-haired boy with a question on his mind —what the actual fuck happened—. Just as he thought that, the mentioned boy started opening his eyes. "T-Tanjiro...? Is that you, bro?"

"Yeah! It's me! Can you move?!"

"Yeah..." Zenitsu responded as he sat down, his body hurting like hell and a lingering pain on his head. "AH- WHERE IS MY WIFE?! IS SHE OKAY!? AH- WHAT ABOUT THE BOX?! NOTHING HAPPENED TO IT, RIGHT?!"

"Eh? (L/N) is fine but, why would something happen to my box?" He asked clueless, his head tilting a bit. Zenitsu sighed and explained everything that happened when they got out of the mansion. That might have been a heavy mistake because as soon as the blonde ended, Inosuke reappeared again. This boy does not know when to give up.

The burgundy-haired boy stood up, and walked towards the boar's boy direction. His face did a whole 360 turn. From worried to super angry. "Damn... You seriously are the lowest of the low. Trying to fight with a civilian and hurting a fellow demon slayer... WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?! DON'T YOU HAVE ANY MORALS?!" A deep sense of guilt washed over Tanjiro as he surveyed the aftermath of the chaotic events. He couldn't help but blame himself for the situation that had unfolded. After all, it was his box that you and the others had valiantly fought to protect. If only he hadn't insisted on safeguarding it, none of this would have transpired. The weight of responsibility bore heavily on his shoulders, as he couldn't escape the realization that his promise to protect you had fallen short. "If you want to fight so much, the come on. Fight me."

Inosuke's laughter echoed through the air, his taunting words fueling his desire for a fight. "Well, loser. You may not be my intended opponent, but I'll gladly beat the crap out of you!" He declared, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.

Without wasting a moment, Inosuke swiftly rose to his feet, eager to engage in combat. However, this time, Tanjiro didn't attempt to reason with him or find a peaceful resolution. Instead, a fierce determination overcame him, and he readied himself for a clash of wills. The anger within him fueled his resolve to confront Inosuke head-on, unwilling to back down in the face of adversity.

Meanwhile, Shoichi approached the duo, concern etched on his face. Taking out a handkerchief, he gently started cleaning Zenitsu's wounds. "Does it hurt when I do this?" Shoichi asked, his voice laced with concern. Zenitsu shook his head in response, his attention soon shifting to you.

"(Y/N)... are you okay?" Zenitsu's voice was filled with genuine concern, even as he clung onto you tightly. However, you seemed to be lost in your own thoughts, paying no heed to his words. In this unexpected turn of events, instead of clutching the box as depicted in the anime, Zenitsu found himself clinging onto you, seeking comfort and reassurance in your presence amidst the chaos.

(Y/N) glared at Inosuke with fiery determination. Though she held great affection for him, her anger towards his actions consumed her. Ignoring the pleas of the two boys, she rose to her feet, fueled by her desire for revenge. With a heavy and considerable big rock in her hands, she intended to strike him with it. That's right bitches, no peace.

Tanjiro and Inosuke engaged in their intense fight, each showcasing their skills and techniques. Tanjiro struggled to land a single punch on Inosuke, whose boar-like defenses proved formidable. As the battle unfolded, Tanjiro seized an opportunity, gripping Inosuke's shoulders tightly, preparing for a powerful headbutt. "YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN!" However, just as he was about to execute the move, an unexpected turn of events took place.

You positioned yourself with the determination of a seasoned baseball player, ready to deliver a pitch with all your might. With a calculated motion, you hurled the heavy rock with remarkable precision, aiming directly at Inosuke's forehead. The rock struck its target with a resounding impact, creating a loud noise that reverberated through the air. Tanjiro, taken aback by the sudden attack, released his grip on Inosuke and took several steps back, stunned by the unexpected turn of events.

...

"Fuck you, whore." You said with a serious expression, internally smiling due to your accomplish.

"GOODNESS (L/N)!! WHERE DID THAT STRENGTH CAME FROM!?" Tanjiro asked innocently amazed. He wasn't mad or anything by your attack, just astonished since it was his first time seeing you in action, unlike Zenitsu and Shoichi.

"WAHHHHHH!! THAT SOUND! DID (Y/N) SPLIT HIS SKULL?!" Screamed Zenitsu while holding Shoichi.

Inosuke gave some steps back and his boar mask fell off.

...

...

...

"A GIRL?! HUH?! WHAT THE FUCK?!" Screamed Zenitsu. He expected the boar boy to have an ugly face or something.

"HUH?! You gotta problem with my face?"

"N-No, i don't!" Said Zenitsu, hiding behind Teruko. 'What a strange guy, he's all buff but has a feminine face... ew.'

'Why he gotta be so pretty though?' You thought while looking at him.

"I'm kind of mad at you but i have no problems with your face! I think it's very babygirl!"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP! I don't care about what you say!" He then turns to look at you. "AND YOU! I KNEW YOU WANTED TO FIGHT! LET'S GO, BRING IT ON!"

"No! Leave her alone!" Tanjiro protected you, putting you behind him.

"PUNCH ME ONE MORE TIME, WOMAN!"

"Was your head drop as a kid? Let's stop fighting already!"

"Listen forehead dude, and this goes for you too as well woman, i'll tell you who i am..." Inosuke grew a wild smile. "My name is Inosuke Hashibira! Make sure you two remember it!"

"She has a name and is (L/N) (Y/N)! I'm Kamado Tanjiro! And how do you write yours?!" Said Tanjiro with a serious but funny aura.

"I can't write or read! My name is written on my waistband, though-" Inosuke abruptly stopped talking.

"He stopped..." Muttered Zenitsu.

Inosuke's eyes widened in shock as his pupils rolled backward, and a mixture of frothy foam and saliva spilled from his mouth. The sheer force of your powerful rock-punch sent him crashing to the ground, his body limp and motionless.

The scene unfolded before them, and Zenitsu's panic escalated into desperate cries. "OH FUCK! DID HE DIE?! IS HE ON HELL ALREADY?!" His voice quivered with fear as he clung tightly on the poor little Teruko's back.

Tanjiro, however, maintained a calm demeanor amidst the chaos. He knelt down beside the fallen Inosuke, carefully observing his condition. "...Nah. He's not dead. It seems like he's just knocked out cold. (Y/N) managed to deliver an incredibly strong hit, haha!"

You gazed down at Inosuke's unconscious form, a mixture of emotions swirling within you. A deadpan expression adorned your face as you contemplated whether you had taken things too far. However, your thoughts were interrupted by the comforting touch of Tanjiro's hand on your head.

"(Y/N), you didn't do anything wrong, alright? Even if you hadn't hit him, I was fully prepared to deliver a headbutt that would have likely ended in the same outcome."

Although his words were unintelligible to you, his reassuring presence brought a shy smile to your lips. Zenitsu, who had been consumed by worry, let out a sigh of relief upon seeing that Inosuke was alive and breathing. Teruko and Kiyoshi, in awe of your incredible strength, felt a mixture of fear and horror. Meanwhile, Shoichi stared at you with wide-eyed admiration, his cheeks flushing with a faint blush.

"Big sis is so cool! And the best part is, she looked pretty while hitting him!" Shoichi's inner thoughts echoed with awe and admiration, appreciating your grace even in moments of strength.
