*CLANG*
"Ah!" You screamed in pain.
Muzan's razor sharp fingers clawed deep across your beautiful (s/c) face. The pain was so intense that you dropped your sword to put pressure on your face. Your face feels like it's on fire! Muzan's long white hair blows dramatically as he gives you a wicked grin.
"It's over, slayer." He grins. He raises his arm to pull out a bone from his body. "Now die!"
Before he can deliver the blow, a young demon boy kicks him away. The King of Pop is sent flying away, destroying a few houses in the process. Your baby brother turns around and looks at you with concern in his slit red eyes.
"I'm fine…" You moaned.
Whoops! Spoke too soon. Muzan comes charging at you both with no way of dodging his attack. All you can do is hug your brother and pray to be reborn back home.
Wait!
Freeze playback. Yep, that's you and your baby brother. You're probably wondering how we ended up in this situation. In case you haven't figured it out, yes, you were fighting the Muzan from the popular anime and manga, Demon Slayer. And yes, your beloved baby brother, Leo, is a demon. But don't worry, he's exactly like Nezuko. He won't eat humans. In order for everything to make sense, let's go back to the beginning.
Three years ago
"(Y/N), I'm bored." Leo whines.
You put down your textbook and rolled your (e/c) eyes in annoyance. "And? What do you want me to do about it?" You scoffed. You really don't have time to entertain your eight year old brother because you need to study for your history test tomorrow. "Go watch TV or something." You said.
"But there's nothing good to watch. Plus it's not the same watching it alone." Leo whines again. He goes over to your desk and begins to pull your arm. Because you're nine years older than him, he doesn't have the strength to budge you. Leo looks up at you with his big (e/c) eyes and gives you the puppy dog eyes. "Please? You're already an honor roll student. I'm sure you'll pass the exam with flying colors." He begs.
You nervously gulped at your brother while looking at you with those damn eyes! Must resist those eyes! I can't stop studying! But then you see his (e/c) orbs glistening with tears. "Okay fine I'll do it!" You gave in. "Just stop with those eyes please?"
Leo turns to the readers and gives them a peace sign while giggling. Works every time, he celebrates.
You pull out your tablet and open up Netflix. You gesture for him to follow you on your bed. The two of you lay down while Leo is giggling excitedly. Because you want revenge on Leo for knowing your weaknesses against his puppy dog eyes, you picked out Demon Slayer. You want to scare Leo from ever bothering you to watch shows with him. You're hoping for him to see all the blood and gore will make him think twice to ask you again. Sure your mother will kill you for scaring him, but it will all be worth it.
"What's Demon Slayer about?" Leo asked.
"Well it's in the name. It's about a boy named Tanjiro whose entire family got killed by Michael Jackson. Only his younger sister survived the massacre, but she got turned into a demon. Now Tanjiro wants to become a Demon Slayer to kill Michael Jackson and turn his sister back to a human." You explained.
Leo raised his eyebrow in confusion. "Are you lying about the Michael Jackson part?" He questioned.
You raised your right hand. "Hand to God, bro. Michael Jackson is in this anime."
"Hmm…Okay!"
You smirked to yourself and play the first episode. But it didn't play. You frown and tap on the first episode again. Instead of loading, your tablet begins to fuzz out.
"You gotta be fucking kidding me! I just bought this stupid thing!" You raged.
"(Y/N), you said a bad word!" Leo whimpers.
Like I give a shit!
You both gasped when you spotted a message through the fuzziness.
(Y/N) (L/N), YOU HAVE BEEN CHOSEN. PLEASE SAVE MY WORLD AND BRING PEACE TO THEM ALL. YOU HAVE THE STRENGTH AND WILL POWER TO DO SO. GOOD LUCK.
"(Y/N)!" Leo screams.
Your tablet cracked open and a shiny white light broke through and that's all you remembered.
A crowd gathers around the siblings while looking at them in concern.
"Do you think they're dead?"
"No, they're still alive. You can see their chest rising."
"What's with the strange clothing?"
"They look to be foreign."
"Ahh, that explains it."
Hearing this many people talking, woke you up. You flutter your eyes open to see a crowd of people. But something about them looks…off? For starters, they're all wearing kimonos and the women all have their hair pulled up. They all looked to be Asians and they're looking at you like you're some sort of alien. But the thing that caught your eye the most is how beautifully animated they look.
At the corner of your eye, you see Leo lying unconscious next to you. You put your arms on his shoulders and shook him. "Leo! Leo! Are you okay!? Please answer me!" You panicked.
What the? Why did my voice sound higher?
You smile when you see Leo's (e/c) eyes staring back at you. Though your smile slightly falters at seeing how shiny and more beautiful his (e/c) orbs are. If you have to describe it, it would be that he has two different shades of (e/c) and his eyes have about five shines of it. Not that you're jealous of his eyes. Though you didn't realized your eyes is exactly as beautiful as his.
"Um…What happened?" Leo mutters.
You pulled him into a hug and gently squeezed him. "I don't know, baby bro. But I'll figure it out." You promised.
A grumpy looking man wearing a gray haori angrily points at you. "Who the hell are you people and why were you sleeping in the middle of the road?!" He demands.
You and Leo stared blankly at the man before turning to look at each other.
"What did he say?"
"I dunno. Beats me."
Hearing the two of you talk in a strange language only makes the man angrier. "Answer me, you freaks!" He shouted.
I think he's speaking Japanese.
"Domo Arigato, Mister Roboto." You replied.
"Nani?!"
You quickly grabbed Leo and the two of you dashed away. The man tried to chase you, but you were a lot faster, even with you carrying Leo on your back. You ran for what seems like hours until you reach a small town. Leo climbs off you while you catched your breath.
Why am I so tired? And why did Leo feel heavier than before?
"Um…(Y/N)?"
"Yes?"
“Is it me, or did you shrink?"
"Shrink? What are you talking about?"
Leo walks up to you and uses his body as a measurement. To your complete horror, your little bro reaches up to your chest. But that's not right. He should be the same height as your hips! Either he hit his growth spurt rather suddenly or…
"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!?!" You shouted. Leo whimpers and hugs you in an attempt to calm you down. This made your (e/c) orbs soften and your gently ruffled his black hair. "Hey, don't worry. I'll get us out of this mess. Leave it to big sis, okay." You promised.
You felt Leo nodding against your chest. And speaking about your chest…What happened to your boobs!? You took pride in yourself for becoming a woman last year and now your girls are gone. But that's the least of your worries. Right now it seems you're stuck in the middle of Japan in a country you can't understand. Your parents must be freaking out to see the two of you missing. Can things get any worse?
On cue, both your stomach growls. Aw great. You grabbed onto Leo's hand and led him further into the town. How are we gonna get food? It's not like they'll accept American currency. Just then you heard a folk Japanese music coming from the town. You looked around and noticed there was a small crowd gathering around a stage. The two of you saw a bunch of women dancing on the stage.
They all dressed in matching red and golden kimonos. Their faces caked with heavy white foundation and red makeup. Some of them are carrying fans while the others are singing a stick of bells. The way they dance with such fluidity and elegance reminds you of waves of water. The girls in the front twirl their bodies around with their fans spinning in the air. The audience oohs and ahhs at their gracefulness.
"What kind of dance is that? It almost looks similar when you do ballet" Leo questioned.
"That dance is called Kabuki. The dance tells others how they want to live a peaceful life between different nations. Call it an offering of friendship." You explained.
"Well it's really pretty."
"Yes, it is."
So pretty in fact the dango shopkeeper is distracted by the beautiful women. This is your chance to swipe some of the dango. But then what? Those dangos are only gonna fill you both up for a couple of hours. And you still have to worry about where you're gonna sleep. Not to mention you have to find a phone to contact your parents. How are you gonna explain to them that you and Leo are stuck in Japan? No matter! You need food fast.
You whispered to Leo to stay put while you'll snatch some dangos. He looks at you with worry, but you gave him a closed eye smile to assure him. You stealthily made your way to the shop and hid behind the price sign. The shopkeeper is practically drooling while watching the dancers. Now's my chance! Your heart beat increases in fear as your hand gets closer to the dangos. Almost there.
The music came to a stop and all the dancers bowed down to the audience. The lead girl steps forward and rings her bells around. "That's it for our show, everyone. Thanks for coming to see us! If you want to show your support, you can always give us donations for our costumes and travel. And that's all for today, thank you all so much!" She exclaims.
Uh oh! Judging by the way they're bowing and they stopped playing the instruments, the show is over. (Y/N) better hurry up or she'll be caught, Leo worriedly thought.
Just as you grabbed one stick, a harsh hand grips onto your wrist. You look up to see the shopkeeper looking angrily at you.
"I caught you, thief!" He yells. "Someone arrest her!"
You tried to wiggle yourself free, but his grip is too strong. "Stop! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" You apologized. But the shopkeeper still hasn't let go. That's right! He can't understand me. "Gomenasai! Watashi Gomenasai!" You apologized again.
"Sorry ain't gonna cut it, thief!" He growls.
By now you already gain attention from the crowd, including your brother. Leo runs up to rescue you. His little hands tried to pull you away from the man, but to no avail.
"Stop it! You're hurting her! You're hurting my sister!" Leo cried out.
"Huh? I don't know what you're saying, but you look just like her. Somebody grab that brat!"
One of the bystanders went forward and grabbed onto Leo's shoulder. The moment Leo cried out in pain, your eyes shrink down in anger. No one and I mean no one hurts your baby brother but you! With a sudden wave of adrenaline coursing through your veins, you grabbed onto the shopkeeper's arm and pulled him out of his stand. His body crashes on the ground, freeing you. Then you ran to the bastard that has your brother and knee him in the gut. When your knee makes contact, a wave of air sends the man comically on the ground.
"That little girl just took down Jiro san with ease."
"How can a small child be that strong?"
You bend down to Leo's level and dust the dirt off his clothes. "Are you okay? He didn't hurt you that badly?"
"I'm okay, thanks to you."
You help pull Leo and are about to make a run for it when the Shopkeeper is blocking your escape. He was about to strike you down in anger when a soothing voice halted his hand.
"How much for the dangos?"
Everyone turned around to see two of the female dancers behind him. The one who spoke was the leader of the group who thanked everyone who attended the show. And my God, she looks like an angel. Her beautiful raven hair is pulled up a classic Japanese style bun with purple highlights that acts like a shine to it. Her big eyes show a beautiful hue of lilac with a blue ring around her pupils. Let's not forget the other dancer next to her. Although she's slightly shorter than the leader, she's just as angelic as her. Her narrow eyes show warmth and wisdom to them. Especially with periwinkle orbs and a magenta ring around the pupils to complement them.
"I beg your pardon?" The shopkeeper asked.
The leader stepped in between you and that jerk, her smile never leaving her face. For some reason, you felt safe around her.
"We'll pay for all the dangos you have in your stand if you let those children go." She offers.
The shorter dancer opens her suitcase to reveal money stuffed inside.
"All of it is yours if you let them go and give us all your dangos. Do we have a deal?"
The shopkeeper's eyes turn into money signs before snatching her suitcase. "Deal!"
What the hell just happened?
The two dancers smiled warmly at the siblings. "Come along, kids."
"Um...Okay." You said.
You grabbed Leo's hand and walked away with the dancers. The people who played the instruments began to raid the stand to grab all the dangos.
"(Y/N), where are they taking us?" Leo asked.
"I don't know. I hope they can help us go back home." You replied.
Little did the both of you know, your lives are gonna change.
