《Curse of Muzan》Hold Out
Advertisement
Izuku ran as fast as he could towards the camp in hopes to minimize casualties, if any , as low as possible. "Karasu. I need you to get whatever Demon Slayers are in the area to report here. If you can find a Hashira, mention to them that there is a member of the 12 Kizuki here."
"Understood." Karasu flew above the tree line to find any able allies.
Coming out of the forest towards the trail to the camp, Izuku was met with multiple demons holding an exact resemblance to one another. "Let me guess, a Blood Demon Art that allows you to clone yourself."
"Smart. Thanks to my power, I can clone myself as many times as I want, equal to the amount of humans I have consumed." The demon began talking with its clones continuing.
"Our job is to stop you, Hashira."
"And thanks to our numbers."
"We will kill you. Not Lower One."
"And when we do, WE SHALL BECOME-" Izuku cut the one clone off by slicing it's head off.
"Bla, bla bla, bla bla. I've heard this monologue a hundred times. Can we just cut to the chase where I start fighting you."
The demon clones began to get enraged to charge at Izuku. "YOU DAMNED BRAT." They encircled Izuku for him to smirk.
'Too easy.' In a spiral motion, Izuku began attacking every clone within his range. "Cursed Breathing: Fourth Form. Nightwind Current Slash!"
The members of the camp continued their onslaught against the seemingly endless hordes of demons. Though they were outnumbered and clearly outmatched, everyone had fought for everything they could. "AAAHHH!! I'M GONNA DIE!" Mineta was cornered by a demon before it was grabbed by Aizawa's scarf to hold it's neck in view.
"URARAKA!"
"Right!" Ochako came over to use Wind Breathing to slice the demon's neck and save her classmate. "Mineta! You ok!?"
"I...*hic* I." He immediately jumped to Ochako and tried to hug her. "I THOUGHT I WAS A GONER THERE!" He was immediately smacked by the handle of her sword.
"GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE GUTTER! WE HAVE A TON MORE LEFT!"
"And I'll be happy to slit your pretty little neck!" A demon came towards the two with Pixiebob encasing it in earth.
"I can't hold him for long! Do something!"
"Love Breathing: Fourth Form. Cat Love Shower!" Momo flipped into the air and began repeatedly slicing the area for the demon to lose it's head and a few others. 'Good thing I asked lady Kanroji for a blade similar to here's to train with.' "*pant* *pant* How many more do you hear, Ochako!?"
"I still can't count how many. It's like there's no end to them." Todoroki began freezing some for both girls to slice off their heads before having to stop from chest pains. 'Dammit. I can't stop here.'
"What's wrong!?" Aizawa questioned for Momo and Ochako to have extreme difficulty breathing.
'I...can't breathe.' They tried to get air in their lungs with it not working to force everyone to cover them. It was at this point, Bakugou picked up Momo's original sword to attack a demon.
"BAKUGOU! DON'T!"
"IF THESE THINGS DIE FROM THIS SWORD, THEN I'LL MAKE SURE THEY STAY DEAD!" The ash blond ignored his teacher's warnings for him to swing down at a frozen one's neck. "NOW DIE!" As he attempted this, it only went skin deep, not even getting close to the bone. "THE FUCK!?"

"Hehehe. You're no Demon Slayer. That means that sword's completely useless to you." The demon's arm was released to attack Bakugou. "NOW DIE-"
Before it could do the trick, Ochako came quickly to slice the demon's neck. In the act though, the demon's claws went right into her side and puncture her. "AHH!" She fell to the ground with Bakugou still in shock of what happened. "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!? IT TAKES A LOT OF TRAINING TO BE ABLE TO KILL DEMONS LIKE ME AND MOMO ARE DOING! WHY DID YOU THINK YOU COULD DO IT SO EASILY!?"
"IT'S NOT LIKE I KNEW THAT WAS GONNA HAPPEN! WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THIS, ROUND FACE!?" Ochako grunted while ripping the sleeves of her shirt and making a bandage for her body. However, her blood began to attract the demons to her more to make her endeavor far more difficult. "What are they doing now!?"
"They're after me because of my blood. It's a type of blood that demons love the most and yearn for." 'I have no choice now.' Ochako grabbed Momo's Nichirine blade and held it in one hand while keeping hers in her other. "Momo. I'm gonna try that technique Midoriya taught us."
Struggling to get up and fight again through coughing, the dark haired girl looked at her friend. "Bad idea. We haven't been able to use that technique more than once without a coughing fit."
"Do we have another option? This'll keep going and will wear us down now."
"SOMEBODY HELP ME!" One of the class B students was about to be eaten with Kendo able to punch the demon back enough to get them away.
"We're running out of options. Right now we can do this, but we don't have that luxury for long. We just need to keep going, but we won't if we're getting cornered from all directions. We need a hole to get out of this."
Getting to her feet now and able to get some air in, Momo understood. "Do it."
Ochako calmed herself while taking in air in a different manner than she normally did when using Total Concentration. "Tsukuyomi no Mikoto Kagura." She began moving around as if she was dancing for the demons to smile and go after her.
"It doesn't matter what you do, brat. YOU'RE DEAD!" She saw this coming to adjust her movements in a fluid motion to slice off a demon's neck. She then adjusted herself again to go for another. As this occurred, those watching could almost say they noticed frost on her blades as well as noticing her breath as if they were in winter.
"First Moonlit Night!" Several demons began to fall with them going immediately after Ochako for her to keep going. 'It's not enough. I need to keep going.' As adrenaline kept going with her, Ochako continued to slice the necks off of every demon she could.
"DAMNED BRAT-" Several demons tried to attack her at once for her to slice their necks off quickly while glancing at them.
"Second Evening Snow Flurry." Thanks to her abnormal speeds, Ochako was slicing and hacking away at every demon to make a hole for everyone to follow. Seeing this, the pros took the initiative with the students.
"NOW! FOLLOW URARAKA! WE'LL COVER THE BACK, JUST RUN!" Aizawa shouted for everyone to head towards the directions Ochako was.
As she continued to move, everything seemed to go in slow motion for her. 'I can do this. I can stop every demon here. I can do this...I can...' As she sliced halfway through a demon's neck again, an image of Izuku came to her mind.

'URARAKA! YOU HAVE TO BREATHE NOW!' Hearing this, Ochako sliced through the demon's neck entirely and took a deep breath in to start coughing violently and falling face first into the ground due to forward momentum.
'I...I didn't even realize I was holding my breath.' Unknown to her, the act she was doing weighed on her body significantly to the point she was about to cause irreversible damage if she did not immediately stop. 'Is...is this really my limit?...This isn't...fair....'
"The girl's weak. KILL HER!" The demons encircled Ochako with Momo trying to kill whatever demons she could, but unable to get close enough.
Ochako looked back at everyone with everything going in slow motion. She saw the demons reach out for her and prepare to bite into her with tears in her eyes. 'I...I don't wanna die like this.'
She shut her eyes with the sound of a sword slicing to bring silence into the area. When she opened them again, Ochako saw Izuku standing to the side with his blades looking as if they were on fire. "Cursed Breathing: Sixth Form. Striking Demonic Slash." The demons noticed Izuku to begin holding fear in them, while Momo and Ochako held a look of joy and relief. "I'm sorry it took so long. I know it doesn't make up for it, but I'm sorry. I'm here now, and you both did an amazing job holding out until the end. Thank you. Yaoyorozu. Uraraka."
"...Midoriya....*hic* You're really here...."
"Yeah. Sorry for the wait. We got outsmarted by the demons behind these."
"YOU THINK ANOTHER DEMON SLAYER WOULD-" A demon tried to boast, but Izuku made quick work of it before going into a running stance.
"Consider this my way of apologizing for putting you all through this. Cursed Breathing: Second Form. Black Rotting Flames!" In next to no time, he appeared behind the group with the demons present all killed with black flames on the ground. Outside, the two Lower One ranks watched this with irritation before looking at the other demons around.
"Attack the building all at once. Bring it down if you have to. Just end the Hashira along with the other humans." The demons did this for all of them to attack and bring down the building. Inside it, the students started to hear rumbling outside to worry.
"I don't think they're playing nice anymore." Kirishima mentioned for Izuku to look towards the end of the hall and dart once again next to Ochako to kill the two dozen demons coming at her.
"Cursed Breathing: Seventh Form. God's Judgment. EVERYONE OUT! NOW!" Everyone agreed for them to rush towards the exit. Izuku helped Ochako up to walk her out and stay at the end so everyone escaped safely. Right as the two got to the exit, the building collapsed and covered the exit. A large dust cloud came from the act for everyone to look in fear.
"MIDORIYA! URARAKA!" Aizawa shouted in fear for Izuku to walk out of the rubble unscathed with Ochako in his arms. He smiled at everyone before placing Ochako on the ground.
"You know better than anyone that it takes more than a building coming down to take me out." Izuku laughed at this with Aizawa letting out a sigh of relief.
"You haven't changed from that psychotic kid I met four years ago, have you?"
"What gave you the idea that I changed?" Izuku's smile quickly turned to a scowl as he turned to the rubble and saw the two responsible for the attack. "So. The real culprits reveal themselves." The dust settled to reveal the two demons holding numbers on their eyeballs. "Lower One, huh? Stronger than the demons here by a long shot." In one quick motion, the brother came at Izuku for him to block it and notice something strange. A face almost exactly like his. Izuku kicked the demon away for him to look down and notice a little blood coming out of his hand to lick it off.
"So you're the Demon Slayer Master Muzan wants us to kill. I gotta say, your students did well even for not being Demon Slayers themselves."
"Now, now brother. Where are your manners? It's only fair that we introduce ourselves to this Demon Slayer." The sister came in front of the brother to speak. "I apologize for my brother's rude introduction. You see, he's always been a pain in the neck. A stick in the mud with taking our rules and objectives over everything else. My name is Kurobara. The idiot over there's name is Kuromura. We're demons that Master Muzan took a special interest in. In fact, we're extremely close to being part of the Upper Ranks. We could just taste the anticipation. Because once we do, we'll be that much closer to our goal! Becoming just like Master Muzan! A perfect being who we can hardly even fathom the perfection of!"
Izuku rolled his eyes at this and took a fighting stance. "If that's the case, my name is Izuku Midoriya. The Curse Hashira. Also, I'd like to ask you about a member of the 12 Kizuki. Where is Douma?"
Kurobara smiled and giggled at Izuku. "Well. Aren't we so arrogant to wanna face Upper Two. We might know, but you'll have to win in order to find that out." She took a stance before giving Izuku a bit of advice. "I do feel bad for you. People that worry about stuff too early go bald quickly."
'....That...came out of nowhere.' Izuku attacked Kurobara for her to dodge in an abnormal fashion and attack in a way of using her back hand. He was able to block her with his blades before Kuromura came behind her and lit his fists on fire. The demon girl jumped out of the way for Izuku to be on the defensive with him.
"Pathetic." Kuromura continued to attack with sheer strength to force Izuku to use his breathing techniques.
"Cursed Cross Purge!" He tried to hinder the demon, but this hardly did anything with Kurobara jumping in and giving a stomp to his blades. This acted as a decoy for Kuromura to come and hit Izuku in the stomach, sending him sliding into a tree.
"MIDORIYA!" Ochako was about to get up before being stopped by Aizawa.
"You and I both know that if we get involved, it would do more harm than good. Our best chance is to let Midoriya do his job to beat these two." As they watched the scene unfold, Aizawa couldn't help but feel embarrassed at himself. 'This kid's got power that makes what we just did a walk in the park. If he's having complications with this one, no doubt we'd be a burden more than a benefit.'
And that finishes this chapter. See what happens next time with Izuku fighting the two demons. Hope you all enjoyed and thanks for reading.
