Could you do a short story of shinobu’s reincarnation remembering her last memories as a demon slayer and the reader (who was also a demon slayer reincarnation) helps shinobu recover from her trauma?
-GN!Y/n
-Y/n does not have vivid memories of her past life like Shinobu, only feelings
-Y/n and Shinobu are both college students
-HUGEEEEEE MANGA SPOILERS YO
-I know their reincarnated selves have different names but for the sake of my sanity I'm calling her Shinobu lmao
There she sat, her hands neatly folded as she sat on her bed in thought. Lately, Shinobu had been having strange memories. They were all in fragments. She didn't understand any of them. Katanas of different colors, strange-looking people that almost didn't look human, her dear sister...
Shinobu looked to the floor and frowned. What was this anger building up in her chest? It feels so familiar. Like it was something she used to always feel. Something was slowly snapping. And she didn't understand.
"Kocho?"
Shinobu hadn't even heard Y/n step into the room. And failed to notice them right in front of her. She looked up into their warm eyes, staring at them for a few seconds.
"Are you alright?" Y/n questioned, sitting on the bed with the girl. Shinobu swallowed dryly. "I'm fine." She lied. Y/n felt that she was lying. Just like she always used to. She didn't know why, but she just knew.
"Shinobu," Y/n said softly, "I can see that something is troubling you. If you'd like, I'm here to listen."
Shinobu sighed, looking away for a moment before looking back into their eyes. "I.. Please don't think I'm crazy." "I promise."
"..Lately I've been having strange memories. In the form of dreams. Brightly colored Katanas. People I didn't know all around me. My sister... Dying by some kind— of thing. Battles I fought in, losses I suffered—I was so... I'm so angry. I don't understand. Reliving the pain, the losses. Losses I don't even remember. It's as if I carried the weight of all those lives on my shoulders. Even though I don't know them."
Y/n squeezed her shoulder gently, offering reassurance. "I can only imagine how challenging it must be going through... It's gonna be okay. Dreams can be powerful. They have a way of reminding us of things we've buried deep within ourselves. But remember, you are not alone. I'm here."
She blinked back tears, her emotions visibly overwhelming her. "Thank you for your kind words. It means a lot to me, especially coming from you." Shinobu spoke quietly as Y/n's arms wrapped around her. "It's okay to cry, Shinobu," Y/n whispered softly. "Let it out. We all have moments when the pain becomes overwhelming."
Shinobu nodded as fresh tears flowed softly, a newfound determination shining in her eyes. "Thank you," she said, her voice filled with gratitude. Y/n squeezed her hand gently, offering her support. "Anytime, Shinobu. I'll be here for you whenever you need someone to talk to. You are not alone on this journey."
With a sense of renewed hope, Shinobu took a deep breath and wiped away her tears. The two of them sat in companionable silence, the weight on Shinobu's heart gradually lifting. In that quiet moment, the weight of the past seemed a little lighter, and the future, though uncertain, held a glimmer of hope. With Y/n's unwavering support, she found solace and determination to face the challenges ahead. In that moment, they both understood the power of empathy and the healing it could bring to even the deepest wounds. Whether they remembered or not.
(Hope you all enjoyed this <333)
