♡

The day was slowly coming to an end, sun exiting the corridors of the Headquarters. There were still people moving quickly, decorating and preparing. You were one of them. Even though it was getting night time you were helping Aoi with some classical Japanese lanterns in the vast garden. There was supposed to be an event exclusively for Demon Slayers and their close ones. Everyone had to celebrate sometimes.

The tradition was supposed to be old. No one knew exactly where it came from but it was said to be the birth or death date of the first leader, the date of establishing the corps or maybe a festival so old that everyone forgot about the gods it was dedicated to? No matter what, the celebration was still going on and you couldn't wait for the day. It was a time when you could forget about the fear constantly attached to the job. You also thought with whom you'll attend it this year. It was another tradition, Demon Slayer's came in pairs, even if they were just friends, even if they weren't mixed couples. It was highly recommended to announce yourself with a partner. The previous years you went with your old teammates. Last time you even went with Aoi, it was a fun night.

''So, we have the deal?'' The black haired girl turned to you and flashed you a smile.

''Yeah, If no one better asks us to the festeve we will go together.'' You agreed.

''It will be hard to surpass me.'' She giggled a bit, you liked it when her bubbly side embraced her person in front of you.

Maybe if you both don't find a partner by the age of thirty you will marry Aoi?

You laughed at the thought but made a plan that when you will go together to the festeve you will tell her about it and possibly sign a contract knowing her. You didn't believe anyone else would invite you.

Time flew by and it was really late. You were just getting ready to go to bed when you heard that a group of Demon Slayers consisting of three men came to the Headquarters. This must have been your teammates, Tanjiro, Zenitsu and Inosuke. They were supposed to come over today. You were divided for your last mission, you taking care of a group of weaker Demon Slayers, as you were quite powerful.

You found your way to their room, the three of them just unpacking. Knocking on the door you came right in, not surprised with anything you may see there. You four were great friends, spending countless nights in the forest together, sleeping in weird places one on another to keep warm, eating weird stuff, travelling and training. You've seen Tanjiro's lying face, smooth Zenitsu and crazy Inosuke. Nothing could make you frown, not even their naked butt's, which you silently prayed not to walk on.

As you entered the room the boys gave you a warm welcome. You all hugged each other, Tanjiro giving you a warm and fuzzy one, Zenitsu clinging to you for his dear life and Inosuke tensing his muscles to appear hard like stone. Okay, maybe you could just marry Aoi, Tanjiro, Zenitsu and Inosuke and all live in a cute house. Stupid thought's, still you like the idea of staying with them for long.

''Hey guys, are you going to the festeve?'' You asked long into the conversation.

''What festeve?'' Inosuke groaned, not knowing what's this thing, god, he hated when everyone else seemed smarter than him.

''Well, it's a Demon Slayer tradition to attend a festeve in the summer. It's made to give honour to all the fighting and all the resting.'' You answered.

''I'm not going anywhere. What do you even do there?'' Inosuke was stubborn yet curious.

''You stroll, talk and dance most of the time.'' You daydreamed about your last time with Aoi, remembering it like it happened yesterday.

''No, no and no. Big no no for Inosuke.'' He shook his head proud of himself.

''Do whatever you want, just don't whine afterwards that you missed it.'' Shrugging you let him be. ''Oh, if you want to come too Tanjiro, Zenitsu and, of course, not talking to Inosuke, consider getting a pair for the night. It's highly unwelcome to come alone. You can even come together, at least the two of you, it's perfectly fine.''

''Oh then Y/N maybe l-like ya know with, hehe...'' A bunch of useless words escaped Zenitsu's mouth and every next one more quiet to the point where you couldn't hear what he was mumbling under his breath.

''Okay you guys, I still have work for tomorrow so I'm gonna get going, have a good sleep.'' You waved them goodbye and went to your room.

Little did you know that all of them had the same idea perking up in their minds. They had to go with you. You never felt it, because the guys were great friends, but they had a crush on you. Nezuko was Tanjiro's sister so it was obvious she was tagging along. You on the other hand, they all cherished the fact that you stuck to them even though you got to know them later. Every one of them had his own reason to fall for you and none of them ever confessed their feelings. Problem arose, because the boys thought that their idea was exclusive.

♡

A groan escaped your mouth as you were waking up. There was so much work to do, the festeve was today. There were still several hours left but you felt the pressure. Jumping out of your bed you rushed to see Aoi, maybe she could find some work for the boys also.

Upon finding her you told her that last night your teammates arrived and that you would love them to work a bit just like you have to. She agreed on that with a diabolic smile. Unfortunately she didn't have time to supervise them herself.

''You'll have to keep an eye on the work. Here, take one of those lists of ''To do'' and just get it done.'' She gave you one of a stack of papers like a card to choose.

You looked at your pick and saw a big CLEANING DUTY sign on it.

''Aoi I reverse it, give me another chance!'' You cried not wanting to do this.

''Okay, my god, just take this. In fact you could use some of their muscles for this.''

This time you got decoration. It was also the garden you were working in yesterday so you were pleased.

Taking your leave you waved at Aoi.

''See you tonight princess!'' She gave you a fake dead look.

Once again you found yourself standing by their door. Knocking you went in and gave the three sleepyheads a bright smile.

''Wake up, waku up! It's time to work.'' You shaked poor Tanjiro awake, the rest also getting up because of his ''oooh's'' and ''aaah's''.

''What work?'' Zenitsu mumbled in a cute manner rubbing his eyes.

''We have to help with the preparations. Get up and put your pant's on, the breakfast is served.''

♡

When your group got to the garden you figured out that you'll be working in a closed space. A small plaza with a fountain, bench and a bit of walking paths sided by flower clombs. There were also high trees that towered over you.

''Okay group! Today I'm the leader and you listen to me.'' You announced taking a leader pose.

''Not true! I'm the leader!'' Inosuke couldn't agree.

''Do you know what to do?''

''No.''

''Then Inosuke?''

''I'm still the leader. I won't do any work if I'm not.'' He crossed his hands off his chest.

''Okay, I will be the leader of the list.'' Saying this you shaked the ''To do'' list in front of him. ''And you'll be the chief of smiles.''

''What the fuck is that?''

''You need to keep everyone smiling during work, you are highly responsible for this.'' You made a very serious expression.

It was magnificent to you how mature Inosuke could be at times and how immature at different occasions.

''That sounds dumb! I want propper work'' he kept whining.

''Well Inosuke, I'm not smiling right now so you're failing.'' You shrugged looking fake disappointed.

He rushed to you, put both of his rough thumbs on your face and pushed your mouth corners upwards, giving you a stupid expression.

''You're smiling!'' He shouted getting worked up with his imagined duty.

You actually laughed at that gripping his hands in your. Swinging them back to his sides you looked at him, tinting your head. A big smile bloomed on your face making the poor boy's heart skip a beat.

''See? A bit of work and you can always make me smile.'' You giggled letting go of him.

If not the mask, you would see a prominent blush. If not the other boys he would confess to you right now and right there. He was on cloud nine being able to get your attention.

''Let's get to work!'' You announced.

Zenitsu groaned.

''I see you!'' Inosuke was right in front of the blonde, his thumbs ready.

''I'm happy, I'm happy!'' Zenitsu waved his hands in front of the boar boy's head. ''Y/N, I think you created a monster.''

You gave them their work. Inosuke was supposed to weed the stone paths so that they looked nice and clean. Zenitsu had to put up more lanterns, some of the designed places required climbing a tree or a ladder. There were also stone figures to bring here from a storage. You and Tanjiro took off for the figures.

You thought they would be small or medium height. It came out that every one of the shaped figures was nearly your height. You had to pick them up and take them, one at a time.

''I think we need to help each other.'' You mumbled looking at a statue of a butterfly.

It was sure beautiful, sculpted like it was just flying around. It had a long leg that made the bug appear at the height of your sight. Tanjiro nodded and you both tried to pick up the statue using his hand palms. It didn't move. The two of you started to walk around it, thinking about ways to make it go up. Tanjiro had an idea and embraced the sculpture with his both hands like he was hugging it. You did the same. You finally picked it up. The thing was not so heavy, just impractical to move around. Walking, step by step, you slowly made your way to the garden. Your arms were touching, his under yours. His limbs slided upwards under the pressure of the stone squeezing your own. Your palms were stuck to his chest and his to yours. Both of your head's over the huge butterfly. The two of you moved clumsily which made you wiggle and turn sides. His face was very close, due to the statue between your body's. You both laughed whenever one of you started to trip making your faces bump into each other. Tanjiro had a hard head. Yours wasn't so insensitive so you feared for your life every time you saw his forehead or nose dart your way. You were nearly in the garden and you didn't spot the end of the coffee-colored floor. Having a light conversation with Tanjiro you tripped suddenly falling on your back.

The spine running through your body aches while you are laying on the floor under the stone figure.

''Au au au.'' You whine, laughing at the same moment.

Nothing serious happened. Fortunately the sculpture braked itself on the floor making you lay under it like under a trap. You couldn't get out. The butterfly wings on both sides of your head and the stone led between your own. The worst part was that Tanjiro was also stuck. He was laying on the figure with his hands blocked tight between your body and the cold stone. He tried to wiggle out but it seriously hurt you, so he stopped. The both of you were catching your breaths and examining the situation.

Tanjiro let out a mumble and his forehead smashed into yours.

''Sorry, my head is twisted in a weird way.'' He started to apologise to you.

''It's nothing, my fault I didn't remember about the step.'' You wished you could rub the place.

Looking at him, his nose was right in front of your eyes. He started to move so now you had his lips and chin hovering over you. He finally let go and darted his eyes straight into you. You were so close that you couldn't quite focus on either of his pupils and he looked a bit like a fish.

''Hey, you look like a fish.'' You commented laughing at the situation.

''You still look nice.'' He let out a warm sound.

This situation was crazy yet somehow bubbly. That's what the boy thought. Maybe it's a good time to ask you something important?

He was about to make up his mind but he heard someone shout.

''What are you doing?!'' It was the chief of smiles running to you.

Inosuke was very shocked yet a bit jealous. He had to take Gonpachiro off of you quickly. Embracing Tanjiro from the back he helped to pick him up, finally letting you out of the stone jail. You dusted yourself off and looked at the boys. Inosuke was still holding onto Tanjiro, Tanjiro holding onto the sculpture. Both of their eyes were stuck on you.

''Wow, maybe you should go together, look, you are already hugging.'' You smirked at them.

Inosuke jumped off taking a fight stance.

The three of you managed to get the sculpture to the garden without further problems. After an hour all of them were in the garden. It was one hell of a work.

Wiping the sweat off of your forehead you looked at the garden. It was beautiful. Except for one thing. Zenitsu hung a lantern crookedly. It was stuck on a tree branch and didn't float down like the rest of them.

''Hey Zenitsu, give me the ladder, I will manage this.'' You run up to him.

He handed you the tool and told you that he will hold it at the bottom. You agreed and climbed the thing, making your way to the lantern.

Zenitsu was calm at first. Then he looked up because you called him to see if it was hanging correctly. You were high so he had a view from the bottom. Nothing was to be seen under your shorts that clasped your tights but his imagination started to work.

Your buns were just above him. He started to mumble and shake.

''Woah Zenitsu, I'm gonna...'' You didn't even end the sentence because you fell.

Your second accident this day wasn't painful because something softened it. Looking down you spotted the blonde under you.

''Oh god! Did I do something to you?'' You quickly jumped to the side and holded the limp boy in your arms.

''Nah...'' He was all red and his eyes were blank.

It was not because of the impact of your body. Even if it was a split second, he felt your soft buns bounce on him. Thinking you killed him with your butt you started to call his name and shake him.

♡

Your work was done. Sitting in your room, after a bath, you were getting ready for the evening. Aoi came. You were both chatting, changing and doing your hair. She clipped some nice decoration in your strands. The outfit you wore was classical, played with your figure and maybe, just maybe it was a bit romantic. Aoi went for something simpler. She didn't like to drive attention to herself.

''Come on, let me do something with your hair!'' You pulled her dark strands.

''Okay, okay!''

You gave her some nice, small braids connecting at the back of her head. She looked at herself pleased.

''With a girl looking like you I could go anywhere.'' You laughed, wiggling your eyebrows.

There were still about two hours until the official beginning, yet you were sure you and Aoi would be going together. Then, you saw a white thing under your door. Walking the way you picked it up. There was not one thing but three.

There were three short letters.

''What's that?'' Aoi asked you peeking through your shoulder.

''I don't know, let's find out.'' You opened the first one.

Dear Y/N

I couldn't find the right time and courage to ask you earlier but I finally need to. I would like to ask you to the dance with me. Would you be my pair?

Tanjiro

The note was short. You felt flattered.

''Wow girl, Tanjiro asked you out.'' Aoi was also surprised. ''I didn't know he had something for you. What do you think about it?''

''I think I'll agree. It's not like he has a crush or something. There are four of us so it's natural they thought about going in pairs.'' You shrugged. ''Oh my what about you Aoi.''

''Don't mind me! We had a deal. Besides...'' She started to wiggle her fingers. ''I was kinda getting ready to ask you for a favour but I felt bad for leaving you alone. I wanted to ask this guy but... I'm scared.''

''Oh my, don't be. Who can resist you, look at yourself. Don't even ask the mirror, you know you're cute.''

You felt at ease.

''Hey, but there are still two left.'' She pointed at them.

Opening the next one you and Aoi both made an damn at the same time.

Lovely Y/N

The time is late but I didn't lose my hopes. Please make me the happiest man on the Earth and agree to come to the dance with me.

Zenitsu

''Ay girl, you have a problem.'' Aoi was confused.

You gave her a lifeless smile. You knew you had to open the third one.

You. Me. Dance. Answer.

Inosake

His name was spelled wrong and it was fairly short.

''What are you going to do now?'' Aoi laid her head on your shoulder.

♡

Earlier that day

Tanjiro was angry at himself that he lost every opportunity to ask you out. Not only him. This thought has been wandering the heads of every one of them. Tanjiro got an idea. He would write a letter. This way he would drive your attention fast, because you were in your room and he wouldn't have to face you.

He quickly got a paper, something to write and wrote his note. He put the letter in his pocket and decided to shove it under your door once he was ready for the event himself.

Zenitsu looked at what he was doing, not knowing that Tanjiro was writing to you. He thought to himself that Tanjiro is smart, asking a girl out with a letter. He started to mimic writing a note himself, bubbles all around him when he thought about you reading it.

Inosuke was sitting, not getting ready. His brain was processing what the other two were doing and he made his mind. He would go to the party if you agreed to go with him. Yet, he chickened out to the thought of asking you. He shook his head, angry at himself for being scared of something. The other two were writing to someone... he couldn't write.

The boar boy dashed out of the room, grabbed a piece of paper and something to write, not even knowing from where and started to look for someone. He fell upon a random Demon Slayer.

''Hey you!''

The boy turned around and was knocked off his feat by a boar head. Looking up, about to say something, he was startled by Inosuke's appearance. Something got shoved into his face.

''Can you write?!'' Inosuke grumbled.

''Yeah, who can't?''

''Shut up and write what I say!'' Inosuke startled the poor man. ''You. Me. dance. Answer. Inosuke.''

''How do I write your name.'' The guy was scared and wanted this to end.

''I don't know!''

Every one of them managed to slip their letter under your door, within three minutes but none of them met. This must have been a miracle sent by the gods to tease you.

End of flashback

''So... what are you going to do?'' Aoi was standing behind you, looking at the letters.

Tanjiro ending

''There you are!'' You exclaimed happily, jumping on Tanjiro's shoulders from the back.

He caught you and leaned forward to maintain your weight. Upon placing you on the ground he turned to look at you, a well known feeling perked in his heart.

''Wow wow, you did your hair!'' That was right, Tanjiro wanted to look the best he could for you.

''I tried...'' He scratched the back of his neck while giving you a goofy smile.

''You look good.'' You nodded.

''Thank's, the same goes to you... you look really, really good.'' He took a step back to admire you as a whole. ''But I think I still like your eyes the most.''

You put your hand on your mouth, surprised to hear something like that from him. He never spoke to you like this.

''Would you like to dance with me?'' He gave you a hand.

''Of course.''

On the dance floor, in the garden you two were keeping up with a slow tune. You were close, embracing each other. Tanjiro actually knew how to dance a slow one.

''I've never thought you were so romantic.'' You giggled a bit experiencing this new side of him.

''Well, if someone keeps their emotions hidden for so long then when the moment comes they finally want to experience the most of it.'' He snuggled his head into your.

You felt his soft hair and warm cheek. The both of you laughed while hugging. He picked you up and spun you around.

''If you don't stop being so cheesy my heart is going to explode.'' You giggled while receiving small gestures of affection.

''Sorry, I just really want to show you how much I actually admire you.''

You cupped his cheeks into your palms gaining his attention. Averting your eye a bit and biting your lip you gave him a silent sign. He took the clue and leaned in giving you the sweetest kiss you ever experienced.

Zenitsu ending

''Y-y-you look beautiful!'' The blonde cried out upon seeing you.

He was mumbling, looking to the sides. The boy was feeling anxious. It may have been the first time someone actually returned a feeling for him. He was just so used to getting dumped that it was no surprise to him. This was beyond imagination.

The hem of your outfit danced in the warm, night breeze. The strands of your silky hair popping out a bit in a cute manner. Lantern situated next to your angelic face gave you a golden shine.

''Thank you, looking good as well.'' You responded.

A well known sound reached your ears. It was a song you liked a lot. A bit slow, a bit romantic, cheesy to admit.

''You want to dance?'' You asked the boy, getting closer to him.

He nodded his head. Your arm stretched to his, tangling your fingers together. Seeing the deep rosy blush on his face you patted him on the shoulder. Upon reaching the dancefloor, which was a plaza in the garden and an open room you saw a group of musicians playing the soft notes of your song. You dragged your partner a little closer to the centre and put your arms on his shoulders. At first Zenitsu didn't know what to do but you led his palms on your waist giving him a grin. This boy could be so cute at times.

''So... are we on a date Zenitsu?

''Um...'' He was stuck on this question.

''You asked me. How do you see this?'' You pushed him a bit.

Curiosity got the better of you. Was he here as your friend? Did he want something more? Maybe you just got too full of yourself?

''I did ask you.'' He mumbled. ''But it's up to you if you want me to be your friend or... a date.'' He wasn't looking at you which was saddening, your heart ached seeing how little self esteem he had.

''Hmm... Zenitsu being my date huh? Like we would dance a bit, stroll a little, hold some hands... maybe even...'' You smiled, teasing him a bit. ''I think I would like that.''

Inching your body closer to his, you embraced his neck and put your head on his chest. You felt him shiver a bit at first but he quickly regained his peace. Looking back up at him you saw him staring into you, a single tear rolling down his cheek.

''Why are you crying.'' You asked with a concerned voice.

''Nothing, it's just... I'm happy, that's all.'' He gave you a smile.

''Oh Zenitsu, you need to believe in yourself a bit more. If not for your brave decision of sending me the letter today you wouldn't know, that I have a crush on you.'' The corners of your lips perked up.

He seemed shocked.

''The credit's all to you, Zenitsu.''

Leaning closer, you put your lips on his in a soft and caring manner. The light brush turned into a full kiss.

Inosuke ending

You saw him in the same plaza you were working earlier. He was sitting on the single bench and wiggling his fingers. Someone must have given him a ponytail. He was without his mask and in a festive outfit. He looked a bit uncomfortable.

''Hey, chief of smiles? What's this attitude?'' You got his attention, emerald eyes staring into you.

''I don't know what to do.'' he stood up and came to you.

''You are the one that asked me out here.''

''I know, I just felt... the emotion to do it.'' he was surprisingly quiet for Inosuke.

''Maybe I can help you out a bit?'' You asked, grabbing his hand.

Nothing secured his blush and he knew about it.

''What are you doing?'' he asked.

''I'm about to dance with you.'' You heard the soft music from here.

He looked at the people moving slowly in the distance and fear struck him. You didn't even think of dragging him there. Placing your hands on him and motioning him to lay on your waist you started to move around, step by step.

''We are not with the dancing ones.'' He claimed.

''Do we have to? I prefer to stay and dance with you here.'' You tilted your head.

Making a small spin you hugged back to him, a bit tighter this time. Humming and looking in every direction you smiled. This moment was so peaceful and sweet, you knew somewhere deep Inosuke had a side like that.

''I want to try something.'' You looked up at him with.

''What is it Inosuke?''

He didn;t have to answer, he just placed his lips on your. It was a bit rough and inexperienced but it was honest and filled with unspoken love.

Heartbreak

TW//mentions of OCD, scary thoughts, self hate and isolation, thoughts of murder, stabbing, blood.

Be sure to breath or take deep breaths if you ever feel anxious or it hits close to home

|Name| nudges her sister gently, “Haha you set us up ooo, you’re just to clever-“

“Can you stop!” Silence. “I was just kidding, nothing mean about it-“

“You said that so many times!”

“Why are you so hostile.”

“I’m annoyed okay!?”

“You don’t have to act hostile towards me.” |Name|’s expressions went from hostile to hurt soon as her sister spoke again. “Well you kept repeating it and minimizing my annoyance!”

She grips her fists, “You never said you were annoyed…I was just messing with you.”

“Well it’s annoying okay.” Silence, she then leaves the scene and heads to her room in silence. As she sat there she grabbed her pencil and starts drawing, first drawing was a picture of her dad.

Covered in knives, and her standing above him.

Next was her biological mom and step mom, she smiles as he drew her bio mom being burnt alive and the second mom drowning…it then lands to her siblings, she drew her brother. Happy, thriving with a loving wife, her baby brother happy, loved and off to a better place with her step mom, brother and her sister.

But once she started drawing her sister, she just drew her alone, with nothing, nothing but |Name| herself telling her about every traumatic moment in their lives.

|Name| stops drawing then looks up, a man stood before her. “I like you…you’re so full of…indifference?”

“But you show hatred towards them and love towards them..except your father? And Bio mother..why?” The man sits before her.

“I love my family but I don’t appreciate the trauma they put me through and how they force me to memorize the trauma word for word…” he sighs a tear leaving his eye. “Such a shame.” A fan appears next to him.

“Maybe I could help you with that-“

“Could you maybe give my siblings money and so I can send them off to live a good life.” The male blinks, astonished by her wishes but alas abides. “In return I’ll either do whatever you ask or desire…whether it be death or just serving you.” His fan clasps together. “Really?”

“Hm..” she nods tiredly, unbothered and well to emotionally detached… it was rather odd to him. “Well I guess you should wake up then.”

|Name| stops then wakes up, realizing the dream wasn’t real and sighs. “Sorry…” she rubs her face but looked at the drawings, they were gone. The woman could only stare outside with dread filling the eyes as she kept wearing a face of disappointment.

Later on she notices the kids were gone, and all that was left was her father. She stared as his weak cries fill the room then without hesitating she bluntly says. “Hey it’s like you said without them you’d have more money.” His cold glare made the woman stare back with pure pleasure for his suffering. “You did this!? You stupid.”

A scalpel gets pressed to his neck, “I don’t hate you dad, if I did I’d have made sure our lives were hell and you’d lose everyone here including me..to bad. Now you’re alone and I’m leaving.”

With that she left, bag packed and eyes dull. But once she truly left tears started rolling down. ‘I’m free!’ The woman sobs weakly as she wipes her eyes and tried to calm down. But then she was met with the man from her dreams, he puts a hand out. “I’d like for you to stay with me..forever.” The woman nods grabbing his hand then they vanish.

What was the fate she’d have?

The woman grew to be a beautiful maiden for Douma, always by his side in silence. Though he did always talk she’d give responses that always pleased him. “You’re very lovely dear, try smiling for once.”

“I don’t enjoy smiling for anyone other than you lord Douma..” he blushes: “How sweet of you.” His soft gaze lands on her hands. “Dear might I hold your hands?”

“I’m thankful you asked, I’d be honored to hold your hands.” So that’s what they do, his hands intertwine. |Name| admires his eyes, “Your eyes are very pretty Lord Douma.”

“Thank you so much dear. I do my best to look lovely for the sake of the people I like.” Of course, thought it wasn’t already known, Douma had another partner as well. A woman, he loved dearly, like a pet…it wasn’t something |Name| liked but the woman stayed silent.

But when the day came she wasn’t silent, “Take care of Inosuke!” The woman pushed her off the cliff into the river. And |Name|’s eyes were on Douma’s teary ones.

Was this…what she considered “Heartbreak.”

Tears would fall all day, as the baby cried, but she nursed him properly. Using what she could, even if it wasn’t helpful, but the baby soon became a toddler and the woman stayed hidden. Hiding and helping him, whilst he knew of her existence he always only came to her when in need of emotional support. To which she gave until they made it to an old woman’s house. “Dearest sit awhile.”

|Name| does so, silent as a feather. Gazing amongst the forest for any demons, it wasn’t any form of offense to her friend but if anyone were to hurt Inosuke well…she wouldn’t have it.

“I can tell…you really love that boy don’t you.”

“I’m not sure, he means the world to me but my love for him maybe just me dwelling on the past…however if anything happened to him I wouldn’t forgive myself…”

She said that with Douma too. Now look, he cried…and she could only watch… but maybe it was for the best.

His adorable aura when the old lady and |Name| acknowledged him warmed the woman’s heart…

Now here he was, fighting someone over a demon. “Inosuke!” The male stops.

“You’re not getting hurt, stand down.”

“BI-BUT HE HAS A DEMON!” |Name| could only sigh, “So what. That demon has shown no signs of threat and the sun isn’t an excuse. Demons are bold sometimes. Reminder that we faced some as well.”

“But |Name|!!” She huffs but sighs at his complaint, “Fine one fight…”

“WHAT!?” The dandelion haired boy screams as tears pour down. “You’re such a nice lady why would you want him to fight!?”

“Not sure…Well have fun.”

—

Have fun…man those words always astonished her. Now she was in tears caressing Inosuke’s hair before well: she was taken to the headquarters of demon slayer Corp.

Questioning was out of the question, she never complied. |Name| gave a small glance to Tanjiro before getting up. “NEZUKO!” She heard a child’s voice. And ran over, without even thinking she grabs her scalpel and slashes at the other hashira. “You- How dare you!?” The man glares angrily as the box fell and another male caught it.

“I’m |Name|….and that demon you have there isn’t a threat. The only threat you have is me, if you hurt her again…I don’t care what rules ya got.”

“Of course you wouldn’t.” A male with a snake retorts, “You’re a worshipper of an upper moon. Douma.”

“I am…what’s it to you?” Everyone was in shock, “He’s a demon!”

“He’s also my savior of a crime I’d nearly commit…or what I thought I’d commit…sometimes the mind wanders and one could accidentally harm her family. With no guilt whatsoever.”

A hand grabs her by the collar, “You’re telling me you’re siding with those demon scum!? After what they did to so many!?”

“I never said that! He killed many and I couldn’t do anything! Do I look like a damned weak hashira like you!? You probably wouldn’t be able to kill him yourself!” The man shoves her down and aims his sword right to her shoulder. “Give me five reasons why I shouldn’t kill you?”

“Because you’d be killing the only person who’s come in contact with Douma and you’d be killing Inosuke’s caretaker…think about that. You dimwitted fool!”

“That’s enough, please.” |Name| glances at the owner of the voice. A man, and a woman? Not that she cared: “If you really came into contact with Douma maybe you could help us…we wish to stop the demons from harming anyone else…please.”

There was a feigning silence before |Name|’s mind drifts to Inosuke’s mom. “Please…take care of him.” A fan cut her body and the water made contact with |Name|’s form. “Sure…if you plan to spare the girl and the boy. You’re all idiots if you think a demon who hasn’t even eaten her brother is a threat.” She got up.

Glancing at the other male, “Foolhardy even. Least your master has some sense.” They watched as she left the gates and head to the forest.

She sat down and kept to herself after, until she noticed a butterfly, “The boar…he’s awake.” A little butterfly girl leads the way. |Name| pushes the door open, heading towards the med room, a weak ‘sorry’ escapes him but she just hugs the male close. “No no…shhh I’m sorry. I should’ve been there…I shouldn’t have stayed behind like you wanted me to.”

Inosuke hesitantly hugs |Name|’s arm, though he wished that independence phase had ended sooner he grew to realize that |Name| supported it and it scares her yes but she still supported him. “Big sister…”

She sniffles. “Of course.”

Time went by and |Name| stayed by the butterfly house, until she was met with a voice. “AH THERE YOU ARE!” She looks up, there he was. The flame Hashira himself. “Rengoku Kyojuro…”

“You here to reprimand me for defending a demon?”
