Chapter 22: Not a bad demon

In the dimly lit room, Satoru Gojo sat on his couch, his gaze fixed on the empty wall before him. There was an air of excitement around him, a hint of anticipation that couldn't be contained.

In the dimly lit room, Satoru Gojo sat on his couch, his gaze fixed on the empty wall before him. There was an air of excitement around him, a hint of anticipation that couldn't be contained. He knew that something extraordinary was about to happen.

The digital display of the system window flickered in the corner of his vision, counting down the minutes. Only ten minutes remained before he would be teleported to the world of Demon Slayer. His heart raced with excitement, and he couldn't help but grin.

****

In the middle of nowhere, a young man was running down the snowy mountain carrying a young girl,

As Tanjirou descended the treacherous snow-covered mountain with his unconscious sister Nezuko slung over his back, he couldn't help but feel the weight of their dire situation. His determination burned fiercely in his eyes as he muttered, "How in the world did something like this happen?"

He trudged through the deep snow, each step heavier than the last, panting heavily, his breath forming frosty clouds in the frigid air. But he didn't stop. He couldn't afford to. Nezuko's life depended on him, and he had promised her, "I have got you! Don't die on me!"

With every ounce of his being, Tanjirou continued to run down the unforgiving mountain. His voice, filled with raw emotion, cracked as he whispered, "I promise I will save you, Nezuko. Your brother will save you."

The journey was perilous, but Tanjirou's resolve was unwavering. He would do whatever it took to protect his sister.

As Tanjiro carried his unconscious sister Nezuko down the snowy mountain, a sudden change overcame her. Her eyes, once gentle and human, turned a shade of sinister crimson. Tanjiro's heart raced as he felt her body tense and transform.

In a horrifying twist, massive fangs grew from Nezuko's mouth, and her face contorted with an unsettling, primal rage. Veins bulged on her face, and she started to attack Tanjiro, her own brother. Tanjiro's confusion and fear were palpable as he desperately tried to restrain her, not understanding what had happened to the sister he loved.

Amidst the chaos, Tanjiro lost his footing, and they both slipped from the valley with a thud,

Tanjiro opened his eyes after the fall, relieved to find himself safe thanks to the cushioning snow that had broken their descent. As he gathered his senses and tried to locate his sister, he saw Nezuko attempting to stand.

Approaching her cautiously, Tanjiro's relief quickly turned to alarm as Nezuko, still in her altered and frenzied state, launched herself at him. Acting on instinct, Tanjiro blocked her attack by swiftly placing the hilt of his axe against her mouth, preventing her from inflicting harm upon him.

Confusion and concern gripped Tanjiro's heart as he grappled with the harsh reality of the situation. His sister, once so kind and gentle, was now a threat to him.

As Tanjiro desperately tried to protect himself from his transformed sister, a Demon Slayer suddenly arrived on the scene. The Slayer's eyes were filled with determination and a cold resolve as he took in the sight of Nezuko.

Tanjiro: "Please, you have to listen! She's my sister! Nezuko doesn't deserve to die!"

Demon Slayer: "You call that thing your sister? She's a demon now, and demons need to be eliminated. It's our duty."

Tanjiro: "But she's different! She hasn't harmed anyone. Nezuko is fighting the demon's urge within her."

Demon Slayer: "I don't care. A demon is a demon, and our mission is to eradicate them all."

As Tanjiro tried to protect Nezuko, the demon slayer Giyu Tomioka moved so fast Tanjiro's eyes couldn't keep us, he punched Tanjiro lightly in the stomach and then slashed his sword toward's Nezuko...

Ting**

Giyu Tomioka unleashed a lightning-fast slash with his sword, aiming to strike down Nezuko. The blade moved so quickly that it was a mere blur. However, the outcome was not what he had expected.' Huh?'

To his astonishment, the sword struck something, and a resounding "Ting" filled the air. He looked in disbelief at Nezuko, who remained unharmed. Then, his gaze fell upon his sword, which was suspended in an inexplicable space, making it impossible for him to move it any further.

Giyu Tomioka's eyes widened as he saw a tall man clad entirely in black—a black shirt, black pants, and a matching black jacket. The man wore pitch-black goggles that obscured his eyes, adding an air of mystery to his presence. His appearance was enigmatic, standing beside Nezuko, who was still unharmed despite the powerful attack.(image)

As Gojo Satoru intervened and used his Infinity to halt Giyu Tomioka's attack, he couldn't resist a playful jab at the Demon Slayer.

Gojo: "Hey, hey, Giyu! I get it; being a Demon Slayer can get lonely sometimes, but come on! Harming innocent girls isn't the solution. You need some better hobbies!"

Giyu falls back to assess the situation 'Who is that man? Is he a demon? But he is not emitting any sinister aura.'

Gojo Satoru couldn't resist taunting Giyu Tomioka a bit more.

Gojo: "Oh, come on, Mr. Edgelord! You can't just attack innocent girls with no explanation. Where's the fun in that?"

As the confusion began to clear and Giyu realized that Gojo wasn't a demon, he couldn't help but ask the question that was burning in his mind.

Giyu: "Why are you saving a demon?"

Gojo, with his characteristic confidence, replied, "Because she's not a bad demon, Mr. Cool Face. Some demons are different."

While the two men discussed the situation, Nezuko, despite her transformation, showed her fierce determination by shielding her injured brother, Tanjiro, from Giyu's intimidating presence. Her eyes glared at Giyu, silently challenging his assumptions and asserting her loyalty to her family.

"You see that? Even after becoming a demon, she is trying to protect her brother." Gojo said adopting a serious expression.

"But what if she attacks humans in the future?" Giyu asked Gojo.

"You have seen my powers, even if I am not a Hashira, I can beat the sh*t out of her if she attempts to do such thing," Gojo replied leaking his cursed energy a bit to show Giyu what he meant.

"But, what about you? Who are you?" Giyu asked as he sheathed his sword.

"I can only tell that I am not an enemy," Gojo answered while looking at the system pannel for the notification of mission completion.

'Is powerful to block my attack in midair, is not using a sword, has a powerful aura, doesn't want to tell his name. I need to inform the Master about this man.'

Giyu turned away to leave, but then Tanjiro called him "Wait!"

Giyu turned back to look at Tanjiro as he continued "I also want to become a demon slayer, so that I could fight the demons and search for a cure for demonism and turn my sister back into a human."

Before leaving Giyu instructs Tanjiro to find an old man named Sakonji Urokodaki, who lives at the foot of Mount Sagiri, telling him that he, Giyu Tomioka, had sent him. Giyu warns him not to let Nezuko get exposed to sunlight before disappearing.

Seeing the development Gojo feels relieved and thinks that he completed the mission.

{Ding!}

{Mission: Save Nezuko Kamado from getting killed from Giyu Tomioka--> Sanemi Shinazugawa}

{Mission completion rate: 20%}

'Huh? The mission changed?' Gojo scrached his head 'guess I have to tag along with the Kamado siblings a bit more' then after looking at Nezuko 'Not that I mind' Gojo chuckled.

"T-Thankyou, thankyou so much for saving my sister from dying Umm..Mr."

"Gojo Satoru, you can call me Gojo Senpai"

"Thankyou Gojo Senpai" Tanjiro bowed while crying.

"It's ok boy, no need to worry. Now let's go to the Old man that guy talked about shall we?" Gojo said while waving his hands in dismissal."You will company us there senpai? Thankyou so much for that." Tanjiro's eyes brightened.

After burying his family in the front yard of their house, Tanjiro with Gojo takes Nezuko's hand, and together, they leave their home and make their way to the mountain.
