hewo, I saw ur masterlist and it said you take requests for Inosuke so hehe 😏
Could I request maybe a demon reader (to make it interesting) and maybe Inosuke is ordered to take her down whilst Tanjiro and Zenitsu kill another demon, but Inosuke actually grows a bond with the demon (maybe she’s a bit mischievous in a non-sexual way) and he finds out she has never eaten anyone before much like Nezuko.
BONUS: Tanjiro and Zenitsu confused as hell when they see Inosuke holding hands with the demon walking back to them 😂
you don’t have to do this, it’s just been something on my mind ❤️

The cave is covered in fog as Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke make their way further in. An ethereal glow illuminates the crescent shaped moon as rays of white moonshine emanates the top of the mountain’s head.
“G-g-guys, this is getting really creepy!” Zenitsu whimpers, body ragged and trembling in fear. “Stop being such a baby, Monitsu!” Yells Inosuke, triggering the blonde even more. “STOP SCREAMING SO LOUD!! YOU’RE GONNA KILL US, YOU MORON” Tanjiro audibly sighs, turning to face both his teammates who were in a fist fight by then. “This isn’t going to work” He whispers, loud enough for Zenitsu and Inosuke to hear. “W-what isn’t going to work, Tanjiro?” Zenitsu asks in confusion. “I can smell two different scents … I think there are two demons here.” He exclaims. “wHaT!!! THIS IS BAD, THIS IS REALLY, REALLY B-”
“I think we should split up.” Tanjiro explains
“YEAH!”
“WE CAN’T SPLIT UP, THAT DEMON WILL KILL US ALL, AAAAAH!”
“it’s ok Zenitsu, you can come with me. Will you be alright on your own Inosuke?” Tanjiro questions.
“I’ll be fine, Gonpachiro!”
Tanjiro doesn’t even get a chance to respond when Inosuke is already dashing past him, headed straight for the entrance of the cave AKA the wrong way. It takes a few seconds before the green eyed man comes running back, realising his mistake, and finding the right track to the demon he was to fight.
~~~
A forest of blood red crystals formed a small trail for Inosuke to follow. His boar mask was reflected through the many diamonds that sprung from the ground, like small crops. As the demon slayer strode through the diamond garden the more he began to feel like he was being followed.
With a swift turn of his heels he spins around and almost bumps into the demon.
Dangerous e/c eyes stared back at him, yet there was a sprinkle of innocence in them. Her skin was a clear s/c, but slightly paled, most likely from being a demon. She bared her fangs at him in a toothy grin, eyes glimmering in mischief.
Inosuke cackles and reaches for his swords….Only, they’re not there-
“Huh?”
“Looking for something?” Sneers the demon girl, holding his swords in a reverse grip.
“HEY!! THOSE ARE MINE!” Inosuke yells, pointing an accusing finger at her. “Can I have them?” She asks with a knowing sly smirk.
“ABSOLUTELY NOT” He grunts.
Her smile widens and she bolts past him, taking his swords with her.
Damn, she was a fast demon…
“HEY! GET BACK HERE!”
It didn’t take long for Inosuke to catch up to her, after all he was used to chasing Monitsu all the time.
He chased the demon to a dead-end, with only an unclimbable mountain above her.
“HA! I WIN!” He yells as she stops running, realising her situation.
“Do you?” She asks with a quirk.
Without warning, the demon girl jumps in midair, but instead of landing on the ground again, a small rounded crystal path forms under her feet.
“HEY, THAT’S CHEATING!”
As Inosuke starts to charge at her, she takes another step, and as if she were climbing a set of crystal stairs, another path formed under feet, as the previous one faded. She continued the same pattern until she was on top of the mountain that once towered over her.
“NO FAIR!”
With a mockingly sympathetic smile, she chucks two diamond daggers down. Surprisingly, when they hit the ground, they do not break.
Inosuke picks them up in question, but quickly realises what he needed to do.
With an all too familiar laugh he jabs one of the diamond dagger's into the mountain rock. Once again, it does not break. Must have some weird demon spell on it. Thought the demon slayer. He does the same with the other dagger, and slowly climbs up the mountain that way.
He’s surprised to see the demon hadn’t moved from her place, when he finally reaches the top.
“Took you long enough.” She blurts.
Inosuke clenches his fists.
Finally, some challenge. He pondered.
As much as the boar masked man hated to admit it, he was actually having a little fun…with a..demon..
she must have put him under a spell to like her, yeah! That’s what it is!
“I don’t know what game you’re playing, but I will slay you!” He exclaims.
“Then hurry up and do it..” She giggles, throwing both his swords at him
He catches them with expert precision and readies them in his stance.
She lifts her arm slightly and a diamond sword constructs itself in her hand.
She swings the sword so it’s in a reverse grip, and positions her self in a defensive stance.
He charges at her, without wasting a second.
Their swords clash and ring through the crystal cave.
Inosuke lifts his swords off of hers and went for her head, a little hesitantly…after all.. he kinda liked her.
She ducks the swing of his sword and kicks him in the stomach, sending him crashing down to the floor.
She menacingly walks over to him and offers her hand, encouraging him to take it.
Instead, Inosuke sweeps her legs and she falls to the ground as well. From there, the demon slayer climbed on top of her and readies his sword at her neck.
“Go on.” She says, when Inosuke hesitates.
“Slay me, demon slayer.” She chuckles.
“SHUT UP!”
Why was he having such a hard time decapitating her?
He stays hovering over her for a while longer, battling with his own mind on what he should do.
The demon yawns from underneath him, admittedly getting a little bored.
“I’m hungry..” she groans.
actually..now that he thought about it, Inosuke was getting pretty hungry as well..
His stomach lets out a low growl at the mention of food and she chuckles.
“Lets go get something to eat.”
“What the damn hell do you mean?! Aren’t I your meal?!”
“Naaa, I don’t like fur in my food.” She snarks.
“Hey! What’s that supposed to mean?!” He barks.
she snickers in response, enjoying every moment of this.
It had been a while since she was treated like she was normal.
“How about.. some tempura?” She asks.
Inosuke’s ears go up at the mention of his favourite food and he immediately gets off of her.
“You like tempura?” He asks, completely intrigued with her now.
“Of course.” She says with a smirk.
He’s silent for a moment, before-
“LET’S GET TEMPURA!”
~~
BONUS:
“So you have two friends named Gonpachiro and Monichi?”
“Yup, my turn now.”
“Do you eat humans?” He asks.
“No, I’ve never eaten human before, I can resist the urge to by consuming human food.” She says with a faint smile.
“oh” he says as they walked through the cave.
“Hey! Is that your friends over there?!” She asks as two figures appear at the entrance.
Inosuke squints and widens his eyes when he realises it’s his teammates.
“Yeah! It is!” He replies, grabbing her hand and running towards them.
“ITADAKI TONTARO!”
Tanjiro turns his head in absolute confusion.
“ITS TANJI-” He cuts himself off when he sees Inosuke running with what smells like a demon.
“Inosuke…who’s this?” He asks wearily.
“OH, THIS IS Y/L/N Y/N.” He blurts out.
“She’s a….-”
“Demon, I know.” He finishes for him.
“We’re gonna get some tempura!” He yells before bolting off, finding the closest restaurant that sells what he wants.
Tanjiro and Zenitsu exchange looks of absolute confusion and horror (in Zenitsu’s case).
