Shocking Secret

You jump, you were wondering why a weird man just barged into your room in the middle of the night. And why he was so angry at you.

"W-what?" you have never seen him before. "Who are you?" You wanted to make a run for it but your instincts told you that this man was not going to harm you.

Forgetting his anger, the man looked at you with amazement, he pointed a finger at himself "You don't know me?"

You shook your head.

"Then how the hell can you understand what I am saying?"

You went cold, yes, the man was speaking a foreign language and you could understand him very well.

The man took a deep breath and sat down, crossing his legs. He looked at you.

"This is gonna take a hell lot of my time, isn't it?" He sighed to himself, "Do you trust me?"

You shook your head.

"Wow," he said sarcastically, throwing his hands in the air. "Well, whatever I am gonna tell you is real...you'd better believe it. Just listen to it like a sort of story, got it?"

You nodded, still not knowing what the heck was going on.

"You are a normal girl living in San Francisco, your name is Lunar Pheonix. I am Liam Pheonix, your older brother. Recall anything?"

"I...guess I can catch up with the nonsense you are sputtering. Now tell me, Liam, did we have a mother named Angelica and a father named Adrian?"

"Correct!"

"Kayla and Damian Pheonix are our siblings, right? And we all go to the same school. My friends are Krystal, Chloe, Shashank, and Fyodor?"

"Yes, yes,"

"Now that you've recalled your memory, you should return with me," he said getting up.

"What? Why?"

"Because I said so,"

"Then I won't come" you tossed your arms, you had a clear memory of what happened.

"Come back here with me!!" you were always used to his sweet and funny (and annoying) behavior but this was completely something else.

"What's wrong?!?!" before you can say anything, he took you by the hand and started to head towards the portal.

Portal.

The same portal that led you here in this fictional world.

How did he know to operate the portal, did he eat the pills that made you transport here? You didn't want to go back, you wanted answers...

You pulled hard and it felt like your hand would come off. He gave up and turned to face you and you stared in awe at his face.

Instead of his normal blue eyes, one of them was brown and had a fresh vertical scar on it. His blonde hair also had reddish undertones, he looked so weird, with that angry expression on his face, he looked like an

Angry Pomeranian meme you saw on Pinterest once.

If you hadn't been in this weird situation, you would laugh a lot but he most certainly seemed angry

"Explain all the weird shit and then I will think of going with you or not," you said calmly.

He looked a little calm but still was fuming and refusing to sit down.

"What's the matter? This is not certain you, and how did you get here?" you asked.

It seemed like he ignored you, he was looking out from the shoji, his back towards you

"Liam, tell me how did y-"

"Mum threatened to unsubscribe from Netflix if you won't come " he whined, cutting you short.

"What?" You were taken aback by such unpredictable behavior.

"Anyways what is this place," he sat on the ground, cross-legged and starting around cutely.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean what is this world?"

"We are in Demon Slayer world, Sengoku era."

"What era?"

"S.E.N.G.O.K.U. E.R.A. it's medieval Japan, currently on 1450."

"What the actual heck are you doing in the semgogu era?!?!"

"SENGOKU!"

"Was there even a Sengoku era part in the manga?" he said, probably surprised

"Yup. Yorrichi origins and michika-"

You cut off as you saw him operating a holographic screen, Muttering to himself.

"HOW DID YOU DO THAT?!?!?" you shouted in awe.

"Shhhhh!!" He put a finger to his lips to indicate that you were being too loud. You instantly clapped your hands to your mouth.

"How did you do that?" you whispered"

Liam looked at you with a serious look.

"Lunar, I need to tell you something." Your insides squirmed, you did not like it when somebody says that sentence in a serious tone.

"What?"

"You look like this." He said, showing you a picture on his holographic screen.

...

...

Huh?

He ducked as you threw pillows and stuff at him.

"Ok, sorr-" he apologized as you smacked his face repeatedly with a pillow.

"Let's get serious now,"

"As if," you scoffed, crossing your arms.

"I am your half-brother"

Your face:

...

...

"Our dad summoned our mom from a fictional world using the blue pills, but she was already pregnant with me but he didn't mind and nor did she, so coming out in the real world, I have some- powers. Like I can travel anywhere and anytime in any fictional world without using the pills, and the fictional characters have no power over me like they can't hurt me because it's my power." He did a little dance while saying this, but his expression was serious so you knew he was telling the truth.

You gazed in awe at him, a secret you didn't know. That's why he was always so different from your family, but wait, will you also have some powers too?

"Lunar, Let's go home,"

"Why?"

"Mum is calling,"

What? So your mom can tell if you are traveling?

"How?" you ask fearfully. "How did she know?"

"Her child is missing from the house and red pills are scattered all over where she was last seen. She just put two and two together. Seriously are you dumb or what?"

He continued.

"But usually when someone from our family travels, mum and I can tell by looking at the clock, because we're not from the real world. It is one of our powers. The clock stops ticking."

"Wait. Then what happens when you go traveling" you ask, this is so weird.

"When someone travels the clock stops but it's like you're gone for one day if you spend 100 years here."

You gaze at him with your mouth hanging open.

"I need 500 years to defeat Muzan."

"Then it's 5 days,"

"But I still can't leave this word!! I still have a story to complete!!" you insisted, trying to think of ways of not going back.

"You don't know any rules or regulations about thi-"

"The robot lady already told us that."

"Us?" he echoed, "Was there someone else with you?" he tilted his head questioningly.

"Yeah, another traveler who got stuck in the realm," you said yawning,

"You have to come, it's not safe. Even I got a dangerous scar from the "attack on the titian" world, mum has been overprotective since you know how she is..." he said showing his scar.

A scar...which doesn't show up in the real world.

"Is this your permanent appearance?"

"How did you know? I thought you were stupid"

"I was just a lucky guess" you smile. "So I might look like this forever in the fictional world?"

"Yes. Unless we have the magical brooch"

A memory of a blood-red brooch stirred in your head.

"Where is it?"

"It was probably thrown into the magical pond of the realm, where it is probably in a random fictional world."

"Can it be here?"

"I've heard rumors, that's why I visited this world right away, the other worlds that are said to contain our family heirloom the "bloody brooch" are "Violet Evergarden" and "Jujutsu Kaisen" " he said " but we're getting off the topic, you are coming with me and that's final"

he said this so quickly while grabbing your hand and taking you out of the portal when a painful, electric shock stopped him, he yelled while the female robotic voice called out

"Rule no.1: You can't leave the simulation until you finish your chosen goal."

he looked at the voice with an astonished look and then at you. it was over after a couple of more Liam pulling you through the portal but it won't just let you cross.

"**** it!" he yelled, accepting defeat, but went back to normal "Not my fault anyways, mum told me to get you back if I can, but if I can't. she can't do anything to me unless she's unsubscribing Netflix-" his voice cut off as the portal closed.

"What a lost case" you scoff and pull out your futons and sleep

Probably for a long time.

DREAM:

You and yorrichi were playing outside, while Michikatsu was training. You had to read and learn too, but then yorrichi would be left alone. Not that he minded it. He would spend that time sitting next to his mother, helping her often.

"Mizuki!! Come here for a minute please!" he whispered after knocking on your shoji.

You opened it and called him inside. Your mom was one of the workers so you were all alone in your mansion.

He came inside and ignoring his protests, you made him sit next to the irori while you made tea.

It was snowing outside. Some of the snow-covered Yorrichi's dark red hair. He brushed it off using the blanket you gave him.

"You wanted to say something?" you asked, carefully pouring the tea into two cups

"I wanted to give you this," he said "Give me your hand"

He took out a handmade bracelet. It had carved wooden beads which were painted red, it had a sort of attachment, you looked at it. It was a yin piece of a yin yang.

"See? Now we can even match these," he smiled, making you go red.

"Ahem- thank you, now drink your tea before it gets cold" you exclaimed.

He soon left after drinking the tea. Waving at you from his house, he went inside.

"The sun shone brighter when he was here, didn't it ?"
