《Predator(KnY×reader!!Ghoul)》Chapter 04: Spider Forest
Advertisement
The quiet road shifted even coldly and lonely in the evening. Villagers had this certain story that whenever a traveller passes by the road of fields in the night, they'll hear a woman cry agonizingly on the area of the woods.
It will reach your ears and would feel your pity. You'll have to reach out for this strong cry and once you do, you'll be caught in her arms. She'll never let you go... she would lead you deeper into the forest without your knowledge and when you get back to your senses, those cries disappears, leaving you alone and isolated.
You'll search and search but you can never get out until the demon comes out to reveal itself. You'll run. But what can you do with its demon art? The forest afflicted with an illusion that will keep you inside running in circles. It laughs at you wheezing in tiredness, keeps your adrenaline rushing in your blood, mocking you while you cry.
Soon it's done with fun and games. He will catch your infuriated features still embedded with unparralled fear, life flashing before your very eyes.
Then he'll start consuming you, part by part while you watch the gruesome consumption of you living body, screaming for help in hopes of someone coming...
Y/n sat on top of the tree, watching the demon do this. The folklore the villagers were telling were actually true.
The demon who hunts the travellers.
Jumping of the tree, she unleashed her sword making a couple of rounds in the air to slash the demon's head just as quickly before he eat the entire arm of the traveller.
After that slide, she sheathed back her sword, watching the head rolled off into her feet and started turning into dust.
The traveller still stared in shock while the girl's back was facing him. Her white haori detailed with black dyed bamboo trees going up from the hem up until half of her back. Her h/c locks swing sideways by the wind before she turned back and met face to face with the man she saved.
Finding the humanly features and demon slayer uniform, his tears continuously rained down his face. Ignoring the pain from his nearly eaten off arms, he groveled to his knees. "Thank you! Thank you!" He shouted.

"Well now mr. Traveller, let's take you back to the village to be tended." She smiled nicely, suddenly pulled the man and carrying her bridal style before she hopped off from the tree branch and to the next until she reached the said village as she knocked on the biggest door.
The defeat of the forest demon in that village made all the villagers happy. But before they could even set up a party for their hero, she diappeared. A new folklore spread throughout the village neighbors, making the girl in a bamboo designed white haori famous because of her single slash beheading from the a demon who's killed hundreds of travellers, villagers and slayers alike.
Y/n didn't expect that as well. To suddenly become famous for slaying one weak demon. Annoyed by the fact that rumors about her strength spread throughout villages which she didn't like.
It's been weeks since she left Wysteria mansion. She's been walking a lot being patronized by the ever so talkative eagle about her quest while she sighs in defeat, slaying shit ton of demon every night in every village without rest.
And now she's popular because of it. Not even realizing that the traveller she saved was actually a rich and influential man from a city.
"This is your fault, eggshit. The villagers doesn't even know that you overwork me." She mumbled in irritation.
The eagle fly on top of her mercilessly. "New mission! New mission! A 12 moon had been discovered! Y/n L/n needs to help defeat this demon! Deploying all the demon slayers closest to the area to back up!" It announces.
"Yes, yes~" she muttered, waving the bird off. "Anyways, what's a 12 moon?" She asked.
"They are the highest ranked demons under Kibutsuji Muzan. Strongest that only Hashiras stands a chance to defeat them!" The eagle explained, landing on her shoulder.
"Hmm... who's this Musang?" She asked.
"Kibutsuji Muzan is the center of all demons created including the 12 moons. He's lived for centuries hiding from the grasp of slayers."
"The father of demons, huh. That's interesting. So if he dies, everything's going to be cool?" She asked.

The bird did not reply to her question, but instead says: "Hurry and help everyone! A twelve moon is on the loose!"
"Che. What a secretive idiot." She sighed in irritation.
She started running towarďs the woods, used it as a shortcut as she jumoed from branch to branch towards the direction the forest was said to be located. The bird was guiding her as well, which made this travel easier.
She was able to reach the destination within the day. It was already on the said forest, smelling blood not just from humans but also demons as she entered calmly.
It wasn't really noisy but she could tell that the fight had already begun, making it an easier finish for her while browsing the area with all the nonchalance in the world.
She sighed, her haori waving behind her as her footwear tapped into the floor. She sheathed her sword out finding some incredible number of spider webs appeared in her line of sight until she found some cocoon like webs.
"Eggshit, where's the twelve moon?" She asked in irritation.
She started jumpìng from the trees again, striking the webs open, noticing that it were actually humans inside. She jumped up again until she landed on a small treehouse like structure and on too of it lays Zenitsu who was hardly maintaining his breathing.
"G-grandpa..." he weakly called out, his eyes half open.
She smiled. "Glad you're still alive, kid." She said in relief.
As she was standing there, another figure appeared from the sky. At first it looked like a butterfly, but soon after it was a form of a woman landing on the same place she was.
She was calmly smiling, but she could tell how fake her facade was. "Hello~" she sang softly.
Y/n quietly watched her approach Zenitsu. Bringing out some type of vaccine from her sleeve pocket while checking on his. She said something about the poison and stuffs the girl didm't quite understand so she decided to see what's going to happen.
"There, I've stopped the poison from spreading further. He could hang on until reinforcement arrives." The woman said nicely. Her eyes trailing towards the woman who was observing Zenitsu's state.
"So, will the antidote work on him?" She asked curiously.
"Yes~ are you his friend?" The insect Hashira asked.
"Yeah. He's been bugging me a lot for marriage so either he lives or die, I guess I'm glad." She replied nonchalantĺy.
The woman laughed. "I'm going for reinforcement. My partner may have found the twelve moon while I'm here." She says. "Would you like to come along?"
The girl let out a sigh. "Guess it sounds better than staying here." She muttered.
They began to run again but on their way, they encountered another female demon which is why Shinobu just told her to go ahead.
So she did. She's been actually running around for minutes but didn't get to find anything because her nose detected too many areas with demon infested ones and each turn she finds, she could only find a low rank spider demons which was killed within a second.
Every choices were actually the same and she ended up giving up since it's been an hour of turns and kills.
"Message! Message!" The crow not far from her area scresmed. It sounded like Tanjiro's crow no less. "Tanjiro, Nezuko and Y/n are to be taken to the headquarters!" It announces.
The announcement made her raised an eyebrow, looking at her eagle who flew nearby.
She could hear the crow gives out their description as it also announces her bamboo haori.
"Eggshit. Why am I being called?" She asked questioningly.
The bird did not answer, making her pout at its inactiveness.
"Hah. This some messy shit I've gotten into." She sighed as she started jumping up the trees, catching one of the eagles foot as it squacked aggressively from shock. "Let's go have breakfast before going there, Eggshit." She muttered, yawning while they went towards some random exit from the forest.
