That Time I Got Reincarnated to a Demon Slayer

"Meowshi! Meowshi!" Takeshi shouted while running. His head was still covered in dark red blood, but he still kept going.

"What!?" Meowshi appeared out of thin air. She was annoyed.

"Damn, you look rough." Meowshi added looking up and down at Takeshi, with this weird look.

"It doesn't help that I was wrapped up, again." Takeshi said, looking at the burn-like marks on his arms from the vines of the demon.

"Can you tell me where I'm off to next? I'm just tiring myself out at this point, plus I'm starving." Takeshi stopped running, held his head then rubbed his stomach signalling he was hungry. His hair flowed in the wind and his haori needed a good wash.

"Hmm,I don't know." Meowshi looked at him then back at the road in front. Inside her eyes was annoyance.

"Hey, what's your problem and what do you mean you don't know? You're supposed to tell me where to go." Takeshi snapped. Holding his fist in the air like a little child.

"Idiot, I'm only here to give you a letter and news flash I haven't gotten one yet. So you need to wait patiently." Meowshi she ran off, her devious eyes were certainly untrustworthy.

"Hey! Come back you rat! I'm not done with you!" Takeshi shouted in the distance, however, Meowshi just ignored him.

Great,I have nowhere to go and I have no idea where or how to get to places without being lost. Just my luck. Takeshi laid on the ground, head facing towards the sun which shone with warmth and light.

I was supposed to be a doctor, but look at me now. I barely look thirteen,

and I've got a sword constantly fighting for my life. There are demons, talking cats, people with weird masks and some king trying to kill me. What's next life? What's next? Takeshi contemplated, lost in his thoughts, lost in time.

"Hello! HELLO!" A voice snapped. Takeshi jumped in fear, he was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't realise he was getting shouted at.

When Takeshi looks in the direction the voice was coming from, he sees a boy. Not too younger than him but too old. He had long black hair, up to his chest, and he had a mask, like a neck gaiter. His eyes were teal. And he wore a haori, specifically a dark blue one with moons.

"Are you mute? The boy asked.

"Oh no, Hello! Sorry, I was just lost in thoughts." Takeshi apologised, scratching the back of his head nervously.

"Yeah,I can tell. So what are you doing right now? ARE YOU BLEEDING?" The boy ran towards Takeshi grabbing his which was bleeding.

"I just killed a demon and I somehow hurt my head. What's you're name anyway?" Takeshi asks jolting himself forward and out grasps of the boy.

"Oh. I'm Zenjiro Ashikaga. And you are?" Zenjiro asks his eyes sparkling like a little kid.

"M-My name is Takeshi. Takeshi Hasegawa." Takeshi touched his head then his hands.

"Hey, you're that boy who was severely injured during the Bladeborn trial right?" Zenjiro pointed out then acted out how he looked.

"Yeah, hahah that was me. It wasn't funny. I was attacked by Akumu Nikushimi." Takeshi blurted out, he had a reason to know, he was there.

"Really? That's crazy! Whoa, are you okay?" Zenjiro shouts loudly. His voice echoed through the open space around them.

"Ai dibat he ir." A voice came from the side. It was Meowshi trying to speak with paper in her mouth.

"AHAHAHA WHAT WAS THE CAT TRYING TO SA- WHAAAA IT CAN SPEAK." Zenjiro leapt onto Takeshi for dear life, as if Meowshi were a lion instead of a harmless cat.

Takeshi reached for Meowshi's mouth, she dropped the letter and scratched Takeshi.

"What was that for?" Takeshi springs back his hand and rubs the scratch.

"You should know not to touch a woman's face without permission. Did you're mother not teach you anything?" Meowshi huffs and turns to the side with an annoyed look.

"Well, my mother was sick half of my life so…" Takeshi just states.

Meowshi turns and starts to purr. "I'm sorry Master, please forgive me." She switched up quickly while rubbing her body against his leg.

"Hehaha." Takeshi's nervous laugh. Usually comes when he's unsure.

"Open the damn letter already." Zenjiro slaps Takeshi's head gesturing to him to open the letter.

Hello

Takeshi Hasegawa,

I'm guessing that if you are reading this you have successfully killed the demon at Hanamura. If you have any injuries please go to the Shimizu Villa. If not go to the North, there you can sleep and eat until you're next mission which will also take place there.

The city is called Yoruichi,

Demon Slayer Corps.

"Soooo what did it say?" Zenjiro asks shaking Takeshi rapidly.

"St- op- sh- aaa- king- meee." Takeshi exclaimed.

"Get off him, who are you?" Meowshi questions. She gets on Zenjiro's back and scratches his haori.

"HEY STOP THAT! I'm Zenjiro Ashikaga, I was in the Bladeborn trial with Takeshi." Zenjiro grabs Meowshi and swings her off. Luckily Meowshi was a cat so landing was no problem.

"I'm going to the city Yoruichi wherever the hell that is." Takeshi says reading the letter over and over again for some maps.

"Really you don't know where that is?" Zenjiro's face goes confused and lost. He was in disbelief that Takeshi did not know where Yoruichi was.

"It's in the North of Japan, the main capital city." Zenjiro grabs Takeshi's face and looks at him. "It's the city that never sleeps." He said trying to be mysterious.

In my version of Japan, the capital city was Tokyo.. Takeshi was shocked. So much was so different but so similar to his Japan to the Japan he was living in.

"The city that never sleeps? What do you mean by that?" Takeshi asked shoving Zenjiro away. "It's called that because at daybreak it's crowded and full of people and at night it's full of even more people. That's where it got its name from. Like the people don't sleep. Wait a minute? How did you not know? It's been like every kid's dream to go there. What are you?" Zenjiro pulled a face.

"Stop being so ugly and let's go we have a mission to end." Takeshi ran toward the direction of the city Yoruichi.

"Well,I didn't get a letter so I'm joining." Zenjiro shouts as he starts heading North dragging Takeshi along behind him.

"Let me get up Zenjiro." Takeshi squeals.

"I'm tired can you carry me?" With that Zenjiro jumps on his back.

How long is it? Takeshi thought, he wasn't even a second in and he wanted it to end.

Meowshi, Zenjiro and Takeshi soon walk far into the distance. Zenjiro and Meowshi still arguing.
