Chapter Text
Sanemi paced the length of the Cell he was in. Muzan had captured him and Several others. In the Cell with him was Giyuu, Obanai, Mitsuri, Gyomei, Shinobu, Muichrio, Aoi, Inosuke, Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Nezuko, Tengen and Genya. The cell wasn't very large. They had been there for days and just recently two of the upper moons had come to them with a way to escape. Sanemi knew there would be a catch but what other choice did he have? The two upper moons had left swiftly off to find two other Demons that would help them, not even explaining their plan. He was hoping they didnt take too long. The Demon Lord kept coming and taking blood from Sanemi. He knew it was because he was a Merchi. Sanemi glanced over to the corner of the Cell where there was a man with Peach colored Hair, the man had spoken some soft words to Giyuu but other than that he would just look straight ahead with a blank expression as if he had been locked away in this Cell for a long time. Sanemi sighed and sat down next to Giyuu who was sitting next to the man. Giyuu reached over to grab Sanemi’s hand. “What did he say to you? Who is he?” Sanemi gestured to the Man leaned against the wall next to Giyuu
“His name is....” Giyuu paused “Sabito”
“Sabito” Sanemi repeated, he had heard that name before. His eyes widened “Sabito Tomioka?” Giyuu nodded
“He didnt die like I thought. As lifeless as he is right now.... The Demon King has been keeping him alive. He’s been here since he was 12” Giyuu’s eyes began to water
“We’ll take him with us, even if I have to carry him out of here. We won't leave him” Sanemi says
“He’s nothing like I remember it’s just....” Sanemi pulled Giyuu into his arms. In the weeks they had been trapped in this Cell the two of them went public with their relationship. There was no use hiding it and he had decided if he were to die here, he wanted to be able to give Giyuu and Genya whatever comfort he would. He and Genya had spoken and had a halfway civil conversation that ended with Genya throwing his shoe at Sanemi’s face. He had apologized for the way he had treated Genya. After a couple hours Genya apologized for throwing the shoe. Sanemi hadn't cared; he had deserved it.
“I know” Sanemi says “And whatever is wrong with him we will work on and fix. We just have to get out of here first” They sat in silence Sanemi rubbing circles on Giyuu’s back Giyuu leaning into Sanemi’s side as he held Sabito’s hand. After what felt like forever Doma and Akaza returned with a pair of demon girls who looked like twins
“We have a way to get you out of here, but it won't be pleasant” Akaza says “These are Hana and Hayami. They have powers that work in tandem”
“Why do I feel like we’re not gonna like this” Obanai says as Genya moved over to Sanemi’s side
“Our blood arts can transfer you into an alternate universe in which a version of you doesn't already exist in” the first girl says, Sanemi Assumed she was Hana
“However, there is a catch, her blood art doesn't work on anyone older than 14” the second girl says, he assumed she was Hayami
“We’re all older than 14!” Zenitsu cries Sanemi was ready to punch him
“That’s where mine comes in” Hayami says “I can take your age down by 14 years. You would still have all your scars unfortunately” she said the last part looking directly at Sanemi
“That’s fine” Sanemi gruffs out
“It’s for you to decide if you want to go through with it” Akaza says “Or if you want to risk whatever it is the Master has planned for you” all the Demon slayers looked at each other
“Would we end up together?” Gyomei asks
“It’s hard to say, we have never done a large crowd before” The girls say Sanemi sighs
“I would be seven” he says
“If it’s the only choice we have” Tengen says “But the younger ones, Muichiro, Genya, Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Nezuko, Inosuke and Aoi need to stay with one of us Adults., they would be infants and toddlers”
“They will have to hold onto you then” The girls say
“Tanjiro, Nezuko, and Genya will go with Giyuu, Myself and Him” Sanemi gestures at Sabito, “The three of us will also hold onto each other, we will all be seven”
“We can take Zenitsu” Obanai says “I will also be Seven.... but Mitsuri will be five, I think I can handle both her and Him though”
“Aoi can come with me” Shinobu says “As Can Inosuke”
“And I will take Muichrio” Gyomei says, he grabs onto the youngest Hashria
“Guess I'm alone then” Tengen says
“Oh, come with me you idiot” Shinobu says, they all organize so they were holding on to the ones they were supposed to stay with
“Alright we are doing it now” The girls say there was a bright light around them and in the next moment Sanemi felt like he was falling
