Day 17: Fireplace, Kyojuro Rengoku

Warnings: Rengoku being worried for over the reader

(_____) was exhausted, the mission that they had just finished kicked their ass, hard. They couldn’t wait to get back home to their lover, Kyojuro. The snow didn’t help, making them feel even more tired and exhausted. It felt like ages but finally (_____) made it home. Opening and closing the door they fell to the floor. Not feeling like moving anymore.

“My love welcome hom-(_____)! Why are you on the floor?!” Rengoku said as he rushed to his lover's side. “Too tired to move…” (_____) mumbled as he picked them up. Carrying them into their bedroom he sat them down on a chair. He left them and came back a couple minutes later. He undressed them and carried them into the washroom. A comfortable silence took over as he washed his lover with attentiveness and care. Once he was done, he dried them and dressed them again. Carrying them to their living room to sit together.

Kyojuro placed gentle kisses from their temple to the base of their neck, up and down. He held them close to his warm body. (_____) was the most relaxed they had ever been. Their lover loving on them, being warmed by the fireplace, and being home. They felt like the luckiest person in the world. “I love you so much Kyo.” They said in a tired voice as they rested their head against his. “I also love you, (_____).”

The two spent who knows how long in front of that fireplace. A couple of naps here and there, not wanting to get up because of how comfortable they each were. If any of the other Hashira had seen them. The teasing would go on for years and years.

taking resquest!: they can be any type of reading like smut, fluff, angst, and etc, but please be patient I put my whole heart into these for your liking!

warnings: fingering

featuring: rengoku, giyuu, sanemi, L, Aizawa nanami, kazuha, ayato, diluc, xiao, heizou, and more…

just imagine your comfort character…

we kiss passionately, only feeling pressure on my chest pushing me down on the cushions of our shared bed, as they observe everything not missing an inch of my body I get all shy and look at them and feel myself getting more desperate. I dragged them down with me as we continued the kiss, they were on my side when I felt a pair of fingers press on my folds. I moaned in the kiss feeling furious wanting to close my thighs but were forced open by them getting on top of me feeling their fingers more in than before. I moaned loud and kissed them harder, I hugged their waist with both my arms and legs while they added another finger continuously going faster, I broke the kiss only receiving a string of saliva while earning such a hard eye contact back at each-other not breaking it. As they added another digit I moaned straight at their face non stop, feeling my climax as I laid my head back as I felt them lay their head on my shoulder while moaning next to their ear. I played with my cunt feeling my climax more than before "fuck..~" I moaned feeling the bed rock a little while my hips moved by its own but at the same time their extra hand caressed my breast and pinched my nipple. I couldn't think straight I didn't care if my next door neighbors hear my moans, I only cared of how my lover honored me in this special night. I played even faster with my cunt and felt my climax hitting me moaning loud enough for them to hear, as well as feeling my juices coat my lover's finger's, I lay down exhausted as my partner rest right next to me, licking their fingers afterwards finishing and proceeding to hug me... sensing a cover on my skin, a warming sensation wrapping my partner's body as well as mine hearing a heartbeat as I dozed off to it...

I woke up and chose to torture myself 😍🤞🏻

A Letter.....Long Lost!

kyojuro rengoku x fem!reader

word count- 12.2k

synopsis- the discovery of an old letter from kyojuro rengoku's room shakes the world of tanjiro. he thought he fulfilled every wish of rengoku. however he missed one. tanjiro needs to deliver it to the one it was written for; but the letter has nothing written except a name 'y/n'. who is y/n and how will tanjiro find her?

genre/warnings- post war timeline/ mentions of death/ slice of life/ angst/ fluff/ lots of flashbacks/ kamaboko trio going on a quest to find reader/ emotionally unavailable parents/ just read it i swear it wont disappoint/ comfort/ scenes of rengoku and mitsuri training/ mentions of mugen train

a/n- i had this idea in my head and i literally wrote this in two days. Loosely based off a film I'm obsessed with...this is my first time writing a long fic. im hella nervous. it will have a sequel with a reincarnation au and smut. not fully proof read, ignore small errors.

Nezuko chimed in as urokodaki made his appearance. Soon more people will join in. Kanao and aoi are helping in the kitchen, making several dishes while inosuke is trying to get aoi give him some to taste.

Tanjiro and zenitsu are spreading out the mats for people to sit and get comfy.

“urokodaki sensei! Please come and join.” tanjiro said noticing his former teacher, carrying a huge basket wrapped in a cloth with water patterns similar to his haori. Nezuko trails behind him bringing another basket.

“i brought some mitarashi dango and some hanami-zake for everyone.” said urokodaki with a soft voice, that made nezuko wonder if he was smiling under his tengu mask.

It's been 2 years since the war ended. People lost their dear ones with a pain bearing smile. Some endured injuries that would sustain through out their life marking them as ‘crippled’; while some sacrificed themselves for the greater good.

Seasons changed since then.

So did several people.

People who turned their hearts into stone, heavy from guilt of their family dying; who suffered from the culpability of being protected…

“giyuu san’s here too, please sit inside with the others while we get the stuff ready.”

“yeah how's your sister? I brought her some new kimonos”

A mild smile forming on his lips.

Tanjiro’s eyes widened a bit. It's kinda still new to him seeing such a soft side of the guy who barely used to smile.

……have let their guard down, allowing themselves to move on, now that there's no more threat hanging in the air.

People who had been afflicted by the remorseful long sleepless nights of trauma; killing the one who once bore them in her womb; whose eyes had become dull and frantic, dying inside in agony…..

“oi tomioka! Move outta my way!” grumbled sanemi, throwing a box wrapped in a delicate green cloth in tanjiro's direction as he catches it with difficulty. Having a hand crippled like an old man is sure a poor thing, not that tanjiro minds that.

“ahh the scary guy's here again! Don't touch the box tanjiro. It must've been poisoned!!!” shouted zenitsu, panicking around, hiding himself behind tanjiro.

“What did you just say?” Sanemi’s eyes narrowed at zenitsu, veins becoming more prominent, ready to throw a first at the blonde head's face.

“Goddamn shinazugawa! Don't scare the kid…” said giyu, grabbing his wrist and pulling him inside. “Wh-you’re such a creep tomioka!”

“Kk.”

“Stop giving me that kanroji face!” sanemi said as shivers ran down his spine. Somehow a smiling tomioka was scarier than muzan to him.

…have let go of their distraught, accepting the dreams which they wanted for their loved ones. Fulfilling it in their place.

“Both of them are creeps!” Zenitsu said digging his nails into tanjiro's skin as he spit curses on them. “Zenitsu they are gone now, can you please give this box to kanao san, it smells of fresh ohagi.”

“I'm telling you…it's fuckin poisoned”

“It's not, zenitsu…don't be like that” tanjiro pushed him away with the box. He then took up a broom and started sweeping any other leaves that fell down from the trees.

Pink flowers blossomed everywhere, now that another peaceful season had arrived.

Kanao had suggested nezuko and aoi that they should spend time together this hanami festival. Nezuko and aoi agreed to that instantly. Thus this is how they ended up inviting everyone at tanjiro's, whose house was surrounded by a lots of cherry blossoms.

Kiyo chan naho chan and sumi chan were playing with tengen’s baby as Suma kept pestering urokodaki san for loosening his face mask (I can't blame my lil curious mommy). Makio was sure annoyed at her behavior while hinatsuru just chuckled. Murata sat stiff in the presence of four former hashiras.

Almost all of them had arrived. Except the rengokus.

Aoi brought them some appetizers, as they kept on chatting. After decorating the food all of them would join outside admiring the moment of bliss.

“Senjuro Kun and shinjuro san ain't here yet right?” Asked tengen.

“They haven't made their arrival yet” announced aoi, “however tanjiro san is waiting outside for them, the food is almost done, we can start after they get here”

“HAHAHAHA…. RUSHING IN LIKE A BOAR!!!” inosuke dashed in with a sakura onigiri in his mouth, from the kitchen. “WAhahhh scar guy!! Fight me!” As expected from inosuke, nothing could ever stop him. At first he was a bit spooked seeing a lot of people at once and sticked to aoi till his normal composure returned.

“Still that dumb boar head! Will he ever get mature?” Sanemi grumbled lazily. “I agree” said giyu, smiling at sanemi, which almost made his stomach churn. Tengen bursted out in laughter, “I see you are still in spirit huh? Quite flamboyant of you.”

“YEAH THE GOD OF MOUNTAINS INOSUKE SAMA IS ALWAY—” Aoi smacked him on his head and dragged him away while muttering some apologies to the hashiras.

“He's still much of energy…and his voice has become much hoarse ain't it? I still remember taking those kids on that mission. And this kid in particular was such a ruckus.” Said tengen, stretching his arms.

“Isn't it good to see all of us after so long without having to fear losing someone?” Said hinatsuru, makio and Suma smiled at each other.

“But we had already lost many people.” Sanemi sighed. He wished he could apologize to genya. If life ever gives him another chance he would like to be a little less aggressive.

“If you keep sulking like that, your brother will definitely curse you from heaven.” giyu took a gulp of the matcha tea, sanemi sent at tanjiro's a month ago.

“Now that there are no demons, you two get along with each other quite well don't you think so?” Tengen threw the snarky question at them.

“what the—”

“I wish rengoku could have seen you guys like this…remember the one time himejima san told us that oyakata sama wanted to see giyu smile….”

“See me smile?”

“Yeah, what a waste of time i swear.”

“Rengoku disappeared for a while to buy glasses in order to make giyu smile.” laughed tengen.

“It didn't work though and then kochou emotionally blackmail me to make him laugh.”

“Oh so this is why you wanted to have sake daikon with me?” Giyu smiled again at sanemi.

“I swear if you make that kanroji face again at me, I will kick you on your balls.”

“Everyone food’s ready, let's go and sit outside!!” Said nezuko halting the heated nostalgic conversation of the two.

Murata finally lets himself relax a bit as the hashiras start moving out. Urokodaki slammed a hand at his back, as he felt his stiff posture return. “Don't be so stiff we aren't gonna ask you to duel.” murata’s cheeks reddened in embarrassment as urokodaki laughed off at the kid's nervousness.

These days are indeed peaceful.

Senjuro made his appearance a bit late. He apologized for his fathers absence, blaming on his health. It's not been that best for a few days.

“Oh goodness, is he really going to be fine, we can go run a check up on him you know?” Kanao offered an idea, worried about the shinjuro’s health.

“Thanks a lot. Actually there's something that has been troubling us for a while.”

“Is everything okay?” Tanjiro's asked with concern lacing his eyes. Sanemi noticed, he had always been kind. He was kind to his brother. During hashira training when tanjiro stepped over the line, it actually made sanemi kinda happy and relaxed. Atleast genya had someone in life he could rely on.

Shinjuro's put down his bowl and chopstick on the mats as he brought his hand to his knees.

“There's something we found a month ago….while cleaning aniki’s room.”

Not only tanjiro but tengen, giyu, sanemi, zenitsu and inosuke froze for a second. The untimely death of the young guy was such a sad event that has ached their hearts for a long time.

Tanjiro could smell senjuro’s emotions and it was odd. It wasn't sadness, or guilt, or anger. It was pity. And somehow it stinged tanjiro, the same way it did years ago.

Senjuro took out some bunch of old papers from the sleeves of his yukata.

Tanjiro's throat felt dry and uneasy. It were a bunch of letters.

All of them looked like they were forgotten for months. The letter envelopes had stained yellow and some even have their edges teared off. But it sure emitted a strong smell. The smell of kyojuro rengoku. Tanjiro's still remembers the distinct hints of his aura. And it somehow still lingered around these letters. Especially the one which was sealed.

“What is it?” asked aoi, finally breaking the deafening silence. A strong gust of wind blew the pink petals along with the letters from senjuro's hand. It's scattered around the mats as all of them tried to collect them.

“Y….y/n?” read nezuko aloud. She hold the sealed letter in her hand as tanjiro extended his palm to grab it. It had tear stains. One side of it had brush marks written ‘to y/n’. The ink has now blurred a bit. But it was still readable.

“What's the meaning of all this?” Tengen asked, grabbing one of the opened letters in his hand. Giyu had hold of one reading in pure shock, while sanemi pondered from the side. Eyes as shocked as giyu’s.

“What happened tengen-sama?” asked makio, seeing all of their disturbed expressions. Zenitsu tried to snatch away the papers from inosuke who was trying to eat it.

“We found these letters from aniki’s room. A lady named y/n had sent those letters to him. An—?”

“And that lady was his lover?” asked giyu.

“What nonsense!”

“He never mentioned any of that to me.” frowned tengen.

“Nor did aniki said anything about it at home. At that time our father didn't pay us any attention. He was drowned totally in despair from the death of our mother. Seeing us only infuriated his anger and sorrow. Aniki would train or be at missions and he was rarely at home. He never told me anything about that….”

‘A letter?’ thought tanjiro. He started sweating all of a sudden. He thought he fulfilled all his wishes but—

“Rengoku san! Please think about yourself, can you stop the bleeding with your breathing technique?” Tanjiro has muttered those words back then, panickingly, devastatingly.

He wanted rengoku to say yes. He wanted him to live beside him, fight beside him, eat beside him. But he didn't get that as an answer.

“No, very soon i'll be dead. Before that happens, i need you to hear me out. I have a younger brother named senjuro. Please tell him to follow his heart. And walk down the path he feels is right.” Rengoku’s face had the same content smile, which warmed their hearts up. He continued, “And tell my father to look after himself…and lastly…”

Rengoku went on and expressed his views on nezuko. It felt like a warm hug. Someone has accepted nezuko. Not because they pitied her but since they saw her true potential and that she was no harm to humans. And now when he remembers it clearly, there was something rengoku whispered before his heart stopped pumping.

It was a faint whisper. So subtle that tanjiro thought it was his ears ringing. But now that he recalls, after he said he trusted them as a slayers, he whispered a few words

“and the lette—”

Rengoku stopped mid sentence as tanjiro kept weeping. He wasn't looking at tanjiro but something behind him. It made him smile as he took his last breath.

“Oni-chan? What happened? Are you okay?” Nezuko pulled tanjiro out of his daze. Everyone was looking at him worriedly. Even sanemi was worried.

“I've not fulfilled rengoku san’s last wishes. I- i haven't. I haven't delivered…how can I be so dumb!!”

“What? Tanjiro san! Calm down! You told us everything aniki wanted to say to us.” Senjuro tried to comfort tanjiro.

“No…before dying he whispered something. I thought my ears were ringing but he did whispered something. It was about a letter.” tanjiro kept on babbling as everyone felt dead silent even senjuro couldn't move his hands.

The sealed letter stayed in tanjiro's hands.

Something that belonged to the girl named y/n.

Something probably dear to kyojuro rengoku.

Some words which were waiting since 3 years.

But…..who is y/n?

The rest of hanami festival gathering went by silent. Senjuro entrusted the letter to tanjiro as per as his request before leaving early since he need to be home before sunset to check upon his father. Murata and urokodaki san accompanied him on the way.

“That's completely ridiculous. None of us have any idea who the fuck this y/n is? how are the fuck are you even planning to find her?” Sanemi spit out bitter words at tanjiro, sitting on the porch, watching the sun slowly turn a deep shade of orange. It reminded him of rengoku’s odd hair colour. It's funny how not only he, but his tsugoku also had weird hair colour— a colour which was dear to Iguro obanai.

Tanjiro lowered his head, smiling a bit. Sanemi changed a lot, even if he speaks harshly, he can only smell pure concern. “But I can't start a new life without paying my debts. Rengoku san saved my life. Whoever lady y/n is….I need to deliver this letter to her.”

“I get what you're saying…but there's no address in any part of the letter. Moreover you are being hesitant on opening it. How do you think you will find her then?” Tengen spoke from the back, alerting the former wind hashira and tanjiro. Both wondered how long he's been eavesdropping them. They expect nothing less. He was a hashira and before that he was a ninja. Even after losing one arm and one eye, he still holds the same power.

“Honestly, I've no idea. But I just can't sit and let it slide.” said tanjiro.

“you’re getting married to kanao next year. Better focus on that. Don't get into useless troubles hanging her off.” sanemi said lazily, yawning and getting up to his feet, stretching a bit. “I will be leaving then. Take care.” Tanjiro didn't reply to him.

Tengen shared a look with sanemi. His eyes shooting a mischievous look filled with pride. Tengen has been in a mission with tanjiro and he knows how stubborn he can be. He knows how pure of a heart he had. And how he even had empathy for demons. He knows sanemi have to surrender infront of him.

Annoyed, sanemi rolled his eyes, “if you're that insistent on finding the girl, then why not refer to kasugai crows. Rengoku's crow might know something about the girl.” He suggested as tengen was in literal awe. He never thought sanemi could ever think logically with his brain. Tanjiro’s head perked up in joy at his idea. Now he finally has a path to look up. Sanemi felt awkward and took his leave, avoiding to look in their eyes.

“Ah! Shinazugawa san! Thanks for the idea!!”

“That brat finally seems to work a bit humane ain't he ?!” A deep laugh bubbled up tengen’s throat.

“I’m happy that he has softened a little now that demons have perished. However, about rengoku san’s kasugai crow, do you know where do I get in contact with it?”

“About that, i would recommend writting letter to kiriya sama. I'm sure he would know.” Tengen patted his head with a reassuring smile.

Soon he took his leave with his wives and giyu, since they were going to an onsen. Basically makio Suma and hinatsuru dragged him along forcefully. Giyu looked a bit tired but he was happy.

Things changed and improved rapidly in a short time. Zenitsu and nezuko got married last year. Murata also got engaged. Tanjiro couldn't help but wonder if the lady named y/n had moved on or not? Will rengoku san be happy if she found someone else? Will he be sad? He looked at nezuko smiling at zenitsu as he played with kiyo, naho and sumi. He looked at inosuke giving his shiniest acorns to aoi. He looked at kanao, smiling delicately, just like shinobu did.

He was happy.

But was the lady named y/n happy in her life?

Kanao looked at him and smiled. She came near him and took his wrinkled hand in hers. “Tanjiro san, you know I would really like you to deliver this letter to y/n san before we start a new life.”

“Even if it takes time?”

“Even if it does. I will wait for you for an eternity.” Tanjiro chuckled as red tints his cheeks. How pure kanao’s heart is? How did he get so lucky to have her in his life? God knows.

“Then I will write a letter to kiriya.”

After a few days, a letter arrived from ubuyashiki's. Along with that two kasugai crows were found circling over the house. Among them one belonged to tanjiro, when he was a demon slayer— tennoji.

The other was the one who accompanied rengoku till his last breath. Kiriya felt sad for rengoku and wrote his kind regards to tanjiro sending the crow to him. His name was kaname.

The crow looked pretty much normal and wasn't as hot -tempered as tennoji.

This was the first time tanjiro had seen him. “Hello, kaname san. Sorry for summoning you all of a sudden. But I wanted to ask you something…” the crow didn't reply, but tilted his head at tanjiro.

“I-ahh- do you know anything about a lady named y/n?”

The crow remained quite for a while, as if reminiscing the days which followed great sorrow. “Master's…y/n sama…master's lover…letters…”

His words were what tanjiro was expecting. Tanjiro finally saw a path clear.

“Can you tell me where she lives?” Asked tanjiro hopefully.

The crow shaked his head,“i don't know.”

Slightly disappointed, tanjiro started asking how she looked. The crow wasn't exactly able to describe her. Accepting his defeat, he asked the crow where he saw her for the first time. Maybe if he goes there, he will be able to find her.

“tokyo…capital…mission..”

the crow wasn't that helpful, they only got to know two things.

First- whoever this y/n is, she was rengoku's lover.

Second- rengoku's crow saw her in tokyo, the capital.

This indicates maybe rengoku and the people who went to the mission in tokyo as said by the crow, if alive, they might know something about it. Tanjiro wrote updates to the others.

A few days later, giyu’s letter came along with some sweets. In that he wrote that rengoku went to tokyo for a battle with lower moon 2 back then. Oyakata sama had assigned him to that mission, before he was a hashira. There were a bunch of people accompanying him, one of them being kanroji mitsuri.

Oh! Mitsuri kanroji was his tsugoku, tanjiro almost forgot about that, he got excited to ask her when reality struck him down. She died after the war. Even if she knew y/n tanjiro couldn't ask her.

He continued reading the letter from giyu as the path which formed in his mind started getting blurry.

Upon hearing from tanjiro, kanao dropped by at the kamado’s. She said she might have one way to get to know about y/n. Tanjiro's eyes perked up at kanao’s remark, which almost made kanao’s heart jolt since he was so cute.

Kanao explained, when shinobu was alive, she had once told her that mitsuri was close to a kakushi couple. She further said that mitsuri used to write letters to them about her missions on a regular basis. Those two even came to congratulate her when she was promoted to hashira. She said it was nice to see that a girl around her age so lively.

Tanjiro wrote a letter to kiriya again. And next week when tanjiro went out with inosuke to sell some charcoal in the city, a couple came to visit them.

Nezuko welcomed them, while zenitsu narrowed his eyes on them, especially upon the male.

When tanjiro returned home he was delighted to find the kakushi couple still waiting for him. They didn't hide their faces anymore. Dressed normally as regular citizens. Honestly they were pretty young, and tanjiro admired how they served the corps group keeping them intact.

“I'm so glad you both came.” Tanjiro bowed infront of them in gratitude.

“Oh no, that's completely fine. We are happy to be of any help. Oyakata sama said you wanted to know about mitsuri.” said the woman.

“Ahh not exactly about her, but for instance, do you have any idea if she ever mentioned a name called ‘y/n’?” tanjiro said pulling inosuke back beside him as he kept munching on the snacks for the guests. The guy gave him a creeped stare as he focused back on tanjiro's words.

“y/n? No I don't think so….she ever mentioned that name. Did she tanaka san?” The woman said.

Tanjiro felt anxious as the guy named tanaka tilted his head to think a bit.

“Nope I don't think she did.”, he clarified.

“Oh….” Tanjiro's voice was barely a whisper, that even inosuke sat straight checking if he's alright.

“Is there something else we can do, tanjiro kun? You look upset.”

“No no…it's fine. I was just trying to deliver a letter to rengoku san's love—”

“Rengoku san? Kanroji san’s master ain't it?” Tanaka spoke before tanjiro could finish his sentence.

“Yeah.”

“Oh my god? The one whom rengoku san loves was y/n?”

“You guys know her?” Hope shined bright in tanjiro's eyes. So did a fervent fear. Fear of disappointment. Fear of not being able to pay his debts. Fear of not fulfilling rengoku san's last wish.

“We didn't know about her name but kanroji san used to tell us about her…isn't it shimi san?” The guy turned to his wife with a fuzzy smile on his face.

“Yeah, she seemed so happy, wanting to have a love like them.” Said the wife.

And for the first time till now tanjiro wasn't let down. “Really? Did she lived in tokyo? Rengoku san's crow said he saw her for the first time during a mission.”

“A mission? No.” The wife let out a chuckle, “it started way before that. Kanroji san said….. ”

“Ahh! Master! Can we please have a break! I'm tired from hitting the sword, my limbs are sore.” Mitsuri cried barely holding another strike from her master.

“Haha you got tired this fast, we haven't even started.” the blazing hair resembling fire, moved swiftly as the guy attempted another strike on mitsuri, but thanks to a call outside, he stopped midway.

“Wait a bit, I will be back in a while.” Said kyojuro rengoku, her master. ‘i will be happy if you don't come back for a while.’ she thought as she collapsed on her knees, to exhausted to move.

“Ahh senjuro kun! Bring me some snacks please!!!” She shouted hoping for the little kid to hear.

A bit later, rengoku comes back. Senjuro looked at his elder brother, frowning while holding a letter. Mitsuri sat beside senjuro, who brought her some onigiris.

“What's that master?” She asked, stuffing another onigiri in her mouth.

“Even I'm confused. It's a letter but it wasn't delivered by a kasugai crow but by a postman.”

“Huh? Maybe it's from some neighbour wanting to lower your voice while eating.” Senjuro said shrugged off his shoulders as mitsuri suppress her laugh bubbling on her throat, almost choking on rice. It wasn't an irregular thing that neighbors anonymously complained about kyojuro shouting ‘umai’ every time he ate.

“Open it.” Said senjuro, curious what type of sarcastic words they might have chosen now.

Kyojuro did as his little brother requested. However kyojuro didn't reacted after reading the letter.

“Today's practice is over. You can relax.” He, then ordered senjuro to boil him some bathwater, shooing him away.

Senjuro obeyed his brother, while mitsuri felt kinda odd, yet she was happy to have a day off.

As soon as both of them left the backyard, rengoku blushed like crazy. The letter was still in his hand as he tried to digest the words.

“A love lett—” a big palm shut mitsuri’s mouth, preventing her from shouting. Yet she was squealing. “I thought you left! You've gotten quite quick in sly footing didn't ya? I'm impressed.” He finally removed his hand from mitsuri's mouth.

“Ofcourse you made me practice for 23 hours without sleep. Anyways, what's written in that?”

“Do you want me to make you practice for 2 days straight?”

“Naah I'm fine! But master, I'm happy.”

“Okay.”

“And curious too. Please let me read it.”

“No!”

After shooing mitsuri out of the backyard he tucked the letter in his sleeves. This letter was sure weird.

“Rengoku san thought that she didn't read the letter, but she had a strong memory and could remember each word after seeing it once. She was so excited telling us about that.” said the wife, looking outside the window at the moon.

The flame of the lantern flickered a bit. “So that might mean that the letter should be among those papers…”

“Woah zenitsu! I thought you were asleep?!”

“How am I supposed to sleep if you're talking that loudly idiot!”

Yeah the paper. There were a lot of papers. Some were smudged and unreadable, so they didn't read all of them. Tanjiro went over their cupboard and brought the bunch of papers.

“Can you identify the letter among them?” He asked the guy to inspect. The couple looked at each other. “Maybe we can try but the writings aren't clear.”

“Please if you can. I need to deliver that letter.” tanjiro bowed his head down begging to the couple.

“You're a nice kid, Tanjiro kun. We will surely help you.”

It's been more than twenty minutes since they are reading each and every paper. Inosuke got bored and slept on the tatami mats. Nezuko was already asleep so they didn't wanted to bother her.

“Yeah maybe this one. From what Kanroji san had explained, this seems to be the one.” The guy tanaka handed the delicate piece of paper to tanjiro.

“However, in each of these letters, she referred herself as his wife…I didn't know he was married…?”

“Huh?” Tanjiro frowned upon the man's words. ‘what?’ he checked the letters again. And the guy was right, y/n did refer herself as his wife. They didn't read the papers as carefully since they were long, they just assumed she was his lover. But rengoku san wasn't the one to hide such crucial information.

Tanjiro was confused, they were so focused on finding the address of y/n that they ignored reading the letters, which could provide information about her.

Tanjiro spent the entire night reading each word carefully. Fingers running across elegant handwriting and smudged ink. As he kept reading those with a pain in his heart. There were in total 7 of those letters, which were written to rengoku. And the one which tanjiro kept seemingly in care— the sealed one; one which has a strong smell of rengoku’s aura; one with tear stains.

The couple spent the night in their house and left the next morning after breakfast.

This helped but not that much. However the path had become clearer.

He knew that the girl was from a nice family who had hands in education from the curves in each characters of her words.

Second, she had mentioned that he had saved her and her friends from a fire, in yokaichi.

“I'm leaving for yokaichi.” Said tanjiro during breakfast.

“Eh? Oni- chan?”

“Don't worry nezuko, oni-chan will be back soon.”

“I will also go!” Said inosuke, “inosuke-sama will protect kamaboko gonpachiro, his minon from any harm.”

Tanjiro chuckled at how inosuke shows his care for him, “fine then.”

“Zenitsu san you also go with them…”

“Ehh, but nezuko chan won't you be lonely without me? I know you will be lonely without m—”

“I won't. You guys will be back soon. Till then I will be at butterfly mansion.”

“B-but nezuko channn!!!!” Inosuke dragged him away as nezuko watched the poor soul. She felt bad but she wanted him to be with her brother. She just felt that the three of them should go together.

The three of them finally reached yokaichi town. It was small but quite dense in population. Tanjiro felt that this was an advantage for them since they stories and folks might spread fast in a vast social surroundings.

“Inosuke, zenitsu let's ask the older citizens first, since they might be living here for a while, they must have known about any fire incidents.”

“I was about to say the same thing as you.” Snorted the board masked guy rushing off in the east direction. Zenitsu simply nodded and went in the opposite direction, sulking. He has been giving tanjiro silent treatment since he had to leave nezuko alone.

Tanjiro sighed as he started finding old citizens nearby asking about a fire incident.

After asking a few of them, he sighed, it didn't really do any help, since many weren't able to hear and some weren't able to remember. When he asked the youngsters, they ran away seeing his old crippled hand.

Tanjiro, let down, returned to the spot where they had started searching. Inosuke was already there tapping his feet as he was waiting for the others.

“Did you find anything?” Asked tanjiro.

“Nahh! They were mere cowards. Running way from me. Though I liked it! Everyone should fear the great inosuke sama.” As expected from inosuke, zenitsu was yet to return. Both of them decided to wait till he comes back.

After a while, zenitsu came back. His sulking still hasn't tailed off. “Ahh zenitsu! Did you find anything? You took so long!!”

Zenitsu didn't reply.

He stared at him with dead eyes.

Oh god! Zenitsu’s moody phases are the worst, especially if it's an urgent task. The whining and sulking from a few years ago flashed in front of tanjiro’s eyes.

“You turned mute or what?” said inosuke, already having enough of zenitsu’s tantrums.

But the only reply that came from the blonde was an eye roll. Inosuke got pissed, ready to throw hands at him if not stopped by tanjiro.

“Zenitsu, I will get nezuko chan make sweet washagis for you when we get back home.”

“Really!! You better do that. I can't even explain how much I've missed my dear wife nezuko chan. She must be so lonely without me.” Babbled zenitsu, finally speaking for the first time till they left home.

“She won't.”

“Stop making snarky comments you stupid boar head. What do you even know about pure love between me and nezuko chan?!!!”

“Ahh zenitsu! Did you get to know anything?”

Zenitsu considered tanjiro a while, before giving in, “At the very west of this town, there's an inn. People said it almost burned down about four years ago…I looked for its owner but they said he will be back late.”

Tanjiro let out a breath. If that's the case, then the owner might remember the incident clearly. If only he could provide any useful information.

“Btw do you really believe whoever this y/n is…she's still alive?” Zenitsu scratched the back of his neck, shooing away the mosquitos ready to feed upon his blood. It's been long three of them are waiting in front of the inn for its owner to arrive.

“Let's just not lose hope.” The inn did looked like it suffered severe consequences from whatever happened 4 years ago. Most of it has been repaired but the aura and the smell can still be recognised. There are still some wooden planks with burn marks which are yet to be repaired.

“May I ask who you three are?”

A chilly voice turned their attention. There stood a thin, frail boy, barely an adult. His eyes were small with hair falling down on his brows. He speculated about them with a suspicious look in his eyes(especially on the boat masked guy). Was he the owner? He looked too young for that.

“Ahh good evening! I'm tan—”

“If you're wanting to stay the night, go somewhere else, I'm not opening the inn today.” He replied coldly before tanjiro could even introduce himself.

“Ahh no, you're misunderstanding…. actually we are here to ask you something about the incident four years ago…”

The look on the boy’s face changed from suspicion to disgust.

“Well…I don't wanna talk about it. You guys can leave.”

“No please, at least hear our questions. It's really important.”

“As if I care.”

“Hey fucker! If you don't answer I'll break each and every bone in your body.”

“Stop it inosuke!” This isn't going any better. It's almost night, they also need to find a place to stay.

“tanjiro can you move aside a bit” said zenitsu, without waiting for his reply, he went to the kid. Apparently he whispered something in his ears which seemed to have creeped the guy out.

Tanjiro gulped. He must be desperate to go home and see nezuko. Sometimes he forgets that their coward friend can be hell scary when it comes to nezuko.

“Okay. He's ready to spill anything he knows.” The look on the kids face made it clear he didn't wanted to recall anything about that incident. However tanjiro had no choice but to push him off the edge.

“Hey I'm sorry if we're causing you any trouble, but you know we really need to know anything you know about a girl named y/n.”

“Y/n?”

“Yeah. Heard it before?”

“No. There were none with this name.”

“Eh? Can you try to recall. There must be someone. A girl who was saved by rengoku san. A guy whose hair was similar to fire.”

“Kyojuro rengoku you mean? He pretty much saved everyone. The inn you see here, is small. Before the incident also it was small and not that popular. Only a few people stayed here occasionally. So I can be sure there was no one named y/n.”

An ‘oh’ is just what tanjiro could manage. The boy got inside the house behind the inn. The night fell and they were still in the same position as before.

Inosuke was throwing tantrums in hunger, so they decided to go to an udon shop nearby. Perhaps they should not lose hope. Thinking empty stomach is not always the best option. This they were sitting in the shop waiting for their order to come.

“But she did mention in those letters that she was saved by him. How come the owner doesn't know anything about that?”

“I already told you we should have broken his bones, monjiro.”

“I think it's useless, let's just go back home to my nezuko chan.”

“Zenitsu! What if you were in place of rengoku san? Would you be happy if your last words don't reach nezuko?” zenitsu went silent at that.

They stayed silent till three bowls of hot udon were placed infront of them. Tanjiro and zenitsu thanked the server for the food whereas inosuke just shoved his head into the hot udon bowl. “You guys seem a bit tense, is everything okay? Asked the old man, the owner of the udon restaurant.

“Yeah we're just a bit disappointed.” Said tanjiro. “Haha and why so? Got rejected by a girl? Can't blame her, it's your hand.” The old man pointed at tanjiro's crippled hand. “What happened that's it's such in a bad condition?”

“Oh! It's…from…from a fight.” Tanjiro smiled, it's hard to offend him anyway,“ i already have a fiance and we are getting married soon.”

“Oh my god! Please forgive my mean words then. I wish you both happiness.”

“Thank you.”

“Then why pull a sad face. My udon tastes the best when you eat it with a good mood, ya know?!”

“Haha, I'm sure it will still taste good. Actually we were here wanting to acquire some information about the fire incident 4 years ago.”

“Oh that was such a bad one. If there wasn't that guy everyone would have lost their life…”

“Rengoku san? You mean?” Tanjiro's eyes perked up. “I see, you know kyojuro. Yeah, that boy was a regular in my shop. Although it's been more than three years since he last visited, i wonder how he's doing? Tell him to visit once, the old man misses him.” the man bursted in laughter while the three of them couldn't even managed to smile even once.

How are they even supposed to tell him, tell him that, “rengoku san died three years ago while saving us from…” zenitsu's voice trailed down into nothingness. So did the old man's. They didn't knew if he's aware about demons so they didn't exaggerated it anymore.

No one spoke for a while.

“I see. What did you guys want to know then? I'm sure you were close to him if he gave up on his life for you all…”

“do you know anyone named y/n? I need to deliver this letter to her.” tanjiro took out the yellow stained letter and handed it to the old man, who squinted his eyes on the writings, drawing a wrinkled finger tracing it's shapes.

“Y…y/n…..yeah she asked me to send some letters to his residence. The kid was young and beautiful.” he returned the letter back to tanjiro.

“She did?!”

“Yeah…that kid almost begged me to not tell kyojuro anything about that.”

The three of them looked at each other. “Can you tell us more about her?” “Do you know where she lives?” “Can I get a refill?” The three of them threw questions at the old man's face, whose lips creaked a bit. “Hmm, I don't know where she lives but I can tell you about her.” He said taking inosuke’s bowl to the counter for another refill.

The restaurant was almost empty so they went and sat on the round seats opposite of the counter.

“It was about four years ago when she appeared in my shop after kyojuro left….”

“umm excuse me…” you said

“Yeah young lady, what would you prefer?” asked the owner pointing at the chart hung on the wall which displayed all the items on the menu.

“I will take a hot tempura udon please.” said the girl beside you.

“And you miss?” The owner directed the question towards you. “Umm I will take anything you prefer.” “Ehh is that so? Fine, I'll make you the tastiest bowl of my special udon.”

“Just tell already…!” The girl beside you whispered into your ear, which was audible to the owner, he chuckled a bit. “Can you shut up….!!”

“I will if you say it…!”

“Okay fine!”

“Umm…if you don't mind, is there any way you can ask the address of the man who just left a while ago?” you asked hesitantly, fiddling with your fingers.

“Kyojuro you mean? I already know his residence, he made me deliver udon to his place before.” the owner said trying to keep his composure, young kids are just so bold nowadays.

“Is that so?” your eyes shined dreamily.

“Why harbored a crush on the man you saw a few mins ago? Hahaha!!” you felt blood rush to your cheeks as you couldn't find words to answer his question.

“She wants to thank him for saving her.” said the girl beside you. “Atsuko!” Atsuko just gave a smirk, ignoring how she threw you in such humiliation.

“Ah…if you don't mind then can you please deliver this letter to him anonymously. Don't tell him I asked you to send it. Please…I can pay you for that..”

“I don't need any payment. I will do that. You can just come and enjoy my special udon sometimes.” the owner accepted the letter from your hands, tucking it in his sleeves. “And maybe watch that man you talked about…he comes here around weekends.” The man hinted you the place which kyojuro normal has his lunch. And if you weren't blushing any harder, you felt your entire face burn with embarrassment. But you want to do it anyway.

Atsuko giggled beside you excited to see what happens next.

“So you delivered the letters in her stead?” asked zenitsu.

“Yeah…she kept coming back with letters for a good six months, if i remember correctly. Maybe kyojuro replied to them…”

It fell silent for a while. The only sound echoing was of inosuke slurping on the noodles.

“So, while you delivered letters rengoku san didn't knew her?” The guy with red eyes pointed the question at the owner.

“No i don't think so, she never came when he used to visit, that is, the weekends.”

“Can you tell us what was the name of her friend again?”

“Atsuko…if I remember correctly..”

“Can you describe how she looked?”

“Ehh? I can't really remember people's faces clearly, but she was very beautiful, big eyes with a nice soft skin. Her hair was long and dark. She had a soft voice. She looked like she belonged from a privileged family. So did her friend.”

“Oh is there anything specific you remember about her?”

“Hmm…let me think…if I'm not wrong rengoku once mentioned her name to a boy who tagged along with him. If you go to him i believe he could provide you some answers.”

“Really? Who was he?”

“His name was….daisuke I guess. He used to wear a similar black sort of uniform like kyojuro.”

After finishing their meal, tanjiro payed for everyone and thanked the old man for all that information. They went to a nearby inn and spent the night.

Tanjiro wrote some letters updating each one of their current status. And he sent a crow to kiriya requesting him to take a look if there's any former slayer named Daisuke and used to frequent his missions with rengoku.

The next day around afternoon, tennoji returned from ubuyashiki's. He said there was indeed a slayer named Daisuke. He had suffered severe injuries from the war and now lives in his village.

As directed by tennoji, tanjiro's crow, they went to the south east from their current position. After two days and one night of sleeping in the jungle without the fear of demons, a village appeared. It wasn't that populated. After asking a few kids, they showed the path which led to Daisuke’s hut.

“Umm excuse me? Daisuke san?”

“Yes, wh— ta…tanjiro….aren't you tanjiro?” the guy said, he was blind from one eye similar to tanjiro, with a missing arm and a limp leg. Tanjiro felt sorry for him.

“Yes, they are inosuke and zenitsu. Sorry for being a bother….”

“Oh no please come inside. I will get tea for you…” he said excited.

“Oh, you don't have to. It's fine. Actually we wanted to ask something….”

“Yeah? Please come in. I will surely help you as much as possible.”

They entered the hut and sat on the tatami mats. Even after pleading not to bring any snacks, Daisuke brought some rice crackers for them.

“Please have them.”

“You didn't have to.”

“Oh it's nothing. Now what did you wanted to ask about?”

“It's about y/n.” Tanjiro said as the rest simply focused on rice crackers. A hint of familiarity glistened in Daisuke's eyes. “Y/n? You mean the one rengoku san was madly in love with?”

Madly in love with? Tanjiro felt a pinch in his heart. Rengoku san must have adored you. The sealed letter had tear stains. Did rengoku cried while writing that?

“Ah…yeah…I need to deliver this letter to y/n but I don't know where she lives. Did rengoku san ever mentioned where she lived?”

“A letter? Why sent a letter when he was so adamant about that?”

“Adamant?”

“Yeah…he said that the pages limited his words to her. He was so desperate wanting to see her that he spent like 2 weeks searching for her without taking rest after his missions.”

“Seriously? So how are you supposed to recover from those injuries?” Daisuke said to his senior with an exasperated expression.

“It will heal when I get to see her face.” Said rengoku, bandaging the cut from a demon's blood arts whom he just killed.

“You're gonna exhaust yourself from build up fatigue.” The sun rays kissed the soil painted in crimson from the shedded blood.

“I will be fine. You go and take rest.”

“I can't believe you're going to find the creepy girl sending you creepy letters claiming herself as your wife.” Daisuke let you a sigh at rengoku's stubborness.

“In that case I gotta meet my wife.” Rengoku's laughter echoed among the vast field.

It still echoed in Daisuke's memories.

“So rengoku wasn't married…?”

“Naah. Honestly I think, after rengoku san’s mother died, he had faced severe neglect from his father. He was the oldest son of the family, so he had to be strong for his sibling. But sometimes we forget, even the strong needs someone to back for them. Even they need some kind words to let go all their tiredness and have a tight sleep. Even they need someone who assured them that they have a bright future…”

That's right. Tanjiro had seen how shinjuro, rengoku san's father, disrespected his sacrifice. He was so lost and depressed in his wife's loss that he forgot about the ones who need the most care— his kids.

Daisuke continued, “when the letter came from y/n, rengoku san must have read comforting words for the first time since that. He used to reread those letters a thousand times when he was free. Sometimes I wondered if he ever got bored doing that…but I knew he didn't. A starved man will eat anything. And I knew he was emotionally starving.”

Zenitsu and inosuke stopped eating rice crackers. Rengoku's death solely hurted them as much as it did to tanjiro, but they never thought it was that deep. That it was something beyond his life as a demon slayer.

Zenitsu could relate. After all he was an orphan. And rengoku was too, being in a situation similar to him, where his only parent was emotionally unavailable for him. He felt sorry for him.

No one dared to say anything. The silence was piercing their hearts like splinters of iron.

“Fun fact was that he did find her,” Daisuke chorted a bit before continuing, “and he literally begged her to marry him…”

Rengoku searched from cabin to cabin in the steam train. In the last letter you mentioned you were going to aomori to visit your relatives by train.

After a bit of negotiation he learned that there was only one train which was going to stop at aomori. This is how he ended up buying tickets at the last moment getting in the train, to find you.

He hasn't seen you before. He wondered how you would look. Even more beautiful and kind than your letters. Even more beautiful than the slight hooks of the curved kanjis you had written his name. Even more beautiful than the blazing sun.

He had checked almost the entire train. The content smile on his face has now thinned into pursed lips. He was nervous. What if he fails to find you? What if he never gets to find you? What if he never gets to see your face?

What if he didn't recognise you?

He flashed all the passengers in his head before lowering his head. None of them carried the same demeanor your letters did. He couldn't imagine any one of them being you.

He entered the last cabin. It was empty. However this cabin seemed a bit different. It had a narrow passage on the right with doors while the opposite side had small rooms. It seemed private. One previously booked by someone.

Rengoku turned back to return to his cabin when the door beside him shot open.

Inside was a girl, who seemed to have frozen for a while.

“Y/n?”

The girl’s eyes widened at the name which left rengoku's lips. She shut the door close, but it didn't closed, something was blocking it. The girl looked down, realizing rengoku had slipped his feet in to prevent her from doing that.

He barged the door open. “Y/n right?”

The girl remained silent for some time.

“I apologize to you with all my might rengoku san. Please forgive my intrusiveness.” you said, lowering your head, nervous at the sudden appearance of him.

“God you're even more beautiful than I thought…” you shoot your head up only to see him looking with such dreamy eyes at you as if you're the only thing he's ever wanted to look at. And it made your stomach churn. Guilt rushed in each of your veins.

“Rengoku san, i shouldn't have wrote those letters to you.” You say. Your friend had warned you before. You didn't listen.

“Why?” He took a step closer.

You gulped before answering,“i wrote nonsense, pretending to be your wife I'm very sorry yo—”

“Then don't pretend anymore.”

“Huh?”

“Be my wife.” Rengoku suggested. His face now inches away from yours.

“And then she ran away?” Said daisuke, barely containing his laugh.

“Yeah…did I do something wrong?” Rengoku said with visible confusion plastered on his face. It was rare to see any expression other than his smiling face.

“Of course she would run away.”

“and why so?”

“Rengoku san, a girl thinks about her future first after marriage. She knows nothing about you.”

“But she wrote me lett—”

“Which you didn't answered….since you thought you couldn't fit your words in papers.” Rengoku couldn't say anything in his defense. It was true rengoku never replied to any of your letters. When he received the first one he thought someone was pranking him. But then the letters came continuously, one each month. He slowly fell in love with those. He fell in love with your letters. And somehow, he fell in love with you.

“Then what do I do?”

“Be honest, tell her about your salary and your job, tel her you can take care of her needs.”

“Yeah? Kk I'm going then…”

Rengoku stood at the aomori station waiting for you to get on the train for your return. Upon spotting you, he called out for you. The train had a delay and he had a good 1 hour to make things clear.

“Eh? R-rengoku san!”

“I work in demon slayer corps. And currently I'm in the highest rank which is kinoe. I get a decent salary of 42,500 yen. I live with my younger brother and father. My mother died a few years ago from illness. I spend my day training, slaying demons and rereading your letters,” guilt rushed through your veins again. “I promise, I will fulfill all your needs and treat you like my queen.”

“rengoku san...”

“sorry i didn't replied to any of those, I just couldn't express myself much in writing. If possible I would like to crawl into a hole. However you don't need to worry. I will make sure that I keep you happy.”

You frowned at his words, unable to explain him. How could you do that to him?

“Y/n san, let's make the words on the letters true. Let's be husband and wife. I know that I work in an organization that isn't approved by governm—”

“Rengoku san, shall we walk while talking? We are blocking the road.” you change the topic, not wanting to talk about it.

“Sure.”

Rengoku continued telling you everything…everything about him. From his childhood till his mother's death. From his father's neglect, to his way up to kinoe, from his sword to the number of demons he slayed. You didn't believe in demons before, but now that rengoku tells you about this, demon folks is something you want to believe. You wanted to believe in everything he said. Even if he's telling the dumbest thing, far from reality, you wanted to believe it.

“Y/n san! Look here!” You turn back to rengoku.

Click.

“And did she said yes?”

“Maybe. He didn't mention her answer. He was so happy that finally he met her.”

“You must have seen her then…can you tell us how she looked?”

“I think I might have a photo of her. Rengoku san, asked to recieve a photo delivery, since he had a mission from the previous oyakata sama.” Daisuke got up limping to the one of the backrooms of his hut. He returned a few minutes later, handling a black and white photo to tanjiro.

Inosuke and zenitsu peeped from the sides to take a look at the long awaited moment, when they finally get to see y/n.

The photo was black and white, but tanjiro felt it was still colorful to rengoku san. In the photo there was a girl, young, with long beautiful hair, in a loose braid. She wore a flower hair ornament, which must have shone in gold back then. She was just how the udon owner described her, big doe eyes, pretty mouth, she looked educated. She was dressed in a floral patterned kimono. Zenitsu wondered what sort of colour the kimono would have been. He wondered if he could get a similar one for nezuko as a souvenir.

The girl was beautiful. Inosuke thought, she had similar smile to shinobu, he wondered if his mom’s smile was like that.

The girl's reflection reflected in several mirrors behind her, and one of the mirror had caught the reflection of the one clicking the photo— kyojuro rengoku.

“The last I heard from rengoku san, he said she wanted to meet him before taking the mugen train mission. He seemed happy, maybe she agreed eventually to marry him….if only he didn't…” Daisuke didn't finished the sentence, considering his surroundings.

They sit in deafening silence for a bit.

A bit later tanjiro thanked Daisuke for the rice crackers and his help. He asked if it were okay to take the photo with him. Daisuke had no problem with that. After bidding farewell they continued their journey, unsure what to do next.

After two days of staying at an inn, cluelessly with no idea how to find y/n, inosuke suggests to go to the station from where they got on mugen train.

“If we go to that lord's land and ask the people over there and show this painting of this long haired girl, then some might recognize her.” He had said.

“First of all that's a train station, second it's a photo. How can you still be the same stupid even after 3 years?” zenitsu cringed hard.

“wha—”

“Inosuke’s right zenitsu, we should go there and ask the people over there.” tanjiro said halting the cat and mouse fight which was about to start between the two.

Daisuke had said rengoku was about to meet her before the mission, which means before getting on the mugen train. Even if it is difficult, some locals must have seen even one glance of her.

The next morning, as per inosuke's idea, three of them left for the station.

“Umm excuse me…” said tanjiro, forwarding the photo in front of the local he stopped on his way, “can you tell me if you've seen this girl?”

The man gave a disgusted look at tanjiro. “no I haven't.”

“Ehh? Are you sure you haven—”

“I don't have time for bullshit.” He went off ignoring tanjiro. Strange. People here are less friendly, some even get irritated if stopped on their way.

It's almost lunch time, zenitsu and inosuke had tried to stop the locals as tanjiro asked them about you. It was clear that this ain't ending soon. Especially when they've got nothing good in hand.

“Let's go buy something to eat.”

“YEAH! I'M HECK HUNGRY!!”

“I saw a kid wearing glasses, selling bentos…let's buy some then…she went in that direction.”

Upon seeing the kid, tanjiro asked her to give them three boxes of bentos. It seemed similar to the ones they had three years ago. The girl was about to leave after receiving her payment, but tanjiro's instinct told him to stop her.

“Wait!” The girl turned back to him as zenitsu and inosuke watched him, confused. Tanjiro put his hand inside the sleeves of yukata, taking out the only photo they had of you.

“Have you ever seen this girl around here?”

The girl squinted her eyes behind the round glass frames,“y/n san! Isn't she y/n san…”

Zenitsu’s eyes popped out, he wondered if tanjiro's a mind reader or something, how can he be so quick?

“Yes! You know her? Can you tell us where she lives?” Tanjiro asked desperately.

“She never mentioned that to us…” the girl said frowning her eyebrows.

“Oh…how did you know her then?”

“Well, a demon slayer who saved us three years ago, requested…”

You waited for kyojuro to come. The sun shone brightly above you. The empty roadway started getting crowdy. You've had enough.

“Y/n san. You wanted to see me?” kyojuro had become a hashira now, and amongst his tight schedule he barely had time for you. It's not like you were disappointed, but still…you and kyojuro often talked through phone booths, after you've suggested that casually one day while strolling with him. Last week when he called you, after what felt like years, you said you wanted to meet him soon. ‘fine meet me at the near hinakawa station, I will be waiting.’ he'd said.

Though it was you, waiting for him to come. You've felt distant from him. And you didn't like it.

“I ran away.” You announced looking in his honey drizzled eyes. Though you aren't sure if it were your overthinking but those eyes seemed a bit dull today.

Kyojuro didn't say anything, maybe confused how to interpret your words.

“my family's against us. And I'm against them. I left the old relations to form a new one. With whom I love. Let's get married.” You said taking his hand in yours.

Kyojuro said nothing but wrapped you in his arms. You hugged him tighter, never wanting to let go. “I'm not alone anymore.” He said before nuzzling his face on the crook of your neck.

Yes. You've always wanted to hear these words from his lips. You've wanted to let him know that he's not alone even when he thinks he is. You wanted him to know that there's someone who will always support him even if he's father thinks he has no talent. This was the reason you wrote him letters in first place. This was the reason you let yourself get tangled in a world far different from yours— in the world of kyojuro rengoku.

He left soon saying he will be back after completing a mission. He said he will send someone to you and asked you to wait for him till then. And you agreed gladly. About half an hour later a girl wearing round steel rimmed glasses along with her grandmother appeared.

“Y/n?” You nodded your head at them. “Rengoku sama asked us to keep you safe till he gets back. If you don't mind then you can come home with us.”

You got to know from the grandmother, how the rengokus had saved their lives two times. You've never seen kyojuro fight, but you knew he was hella strong. Still your heart sinks into your stomach whenever he mentions a mission. You've never encountered demons, once you didn't even believed in them, and now here you are nodding at each of those demon tales of the grandmother.

It didn't mattered anyway as long as he comes back safe. You have to wait for a while for him to comeback….after all you weren't done….you still had an important thing to say.

“Then?”

“Then days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months, the slayer never made its return. She left eventually, thanking us. We told her to wait for a while more…but she was too stubborn.” said the girl, fixing her specks again.

Tanjiro couldn't believe what he heard. Rengoku had so many things going on in his life. He had more priorities than him and his friends. Someone who was more important. Someone who left her entire family for him.

Yet.

And yet.

He chose to save them sacrificing himself.

He wondered if the you hate him now.

Zenitsu and inosuke were too stunned to speak. All of them were on the verge of crying. To think…that he couldn't return because of them. To think that they played a role in ruining you happiness. That he died saving them.

“She said she was going to asakusa at her friend’s house, named atsuko.”

Tanjiro bowed at the girl, he couldn't manage thanking her, since he knew if he draws one more breath trying to talk, he would break down right there.

The three of them took a train to asakusa after eating those bentos. They looked similar because rengoku had bought the same boxes from that bento girl 3 years ago.

Inosuke was oddly quiet inside the train. The other two also barely chatted before reaching their destination.

Tanjiro had visited asakusa before and he didn't liked that experience very much. Especially the narrow lanes. This time the city looked more developed than before. And it was more crowdy too. They made their way as the girl has previously informed, that atsuko works as a teacher in a big school for aristocrats.

Coincidentally, tanjiro found the same vendor from his last visit. Back then nezuko wasn't able to savor his ramens since she was a demon. He wished he brought her along. They ordered a steaming bowl of ramen, as the vendor was delighted seeing tanjiro again.

“Where that bamboo girl you carried along with you?”

“She's at home right now.”

“Don't give my wife stupid Nicknames.” ,shouted the blonde at the vendor. Tanjiro apologized in his stead as he kept fuming. “So why are you three here all of a sudden? It's been long ain't it?”

“Yeah we're looking for a girl named y/n. She has a friend who teaches in a big school named atsuko.”

“Y/n never heard that sort of peculiar name…”

“are there any big schools in this area, where aristocrats study?”

“Umm…there are a lot of big schools, you could go and ask at the library. There's only one library here and all the school students or teachers borrow books from there. They must know something about that.”

“Oh really! Thankyou very much.”

Without any further do, the three of them went to the public library after eating.

“Woah this is so big.” Tanjiro said.

“It has so many books shall I borrow some for nezuko chan” zenitsu got lost in his dream world. Inosuke was quite whenever he gets in a new environment with a lots of people, so tanjiro didn't bother checking at him.

However, inosuke tugged on tanjiro's yukata pointing at something with his boar mask tugged on his head. Tanjiro could see his eyes popping out.

“What happened tanji—” zenitsu choked on his spit. Tanjiro’s jaw dropped, his mouth open wide. Inosuke was pointing at a picture hung on the wall. Tanjiro took out the photo hurriedly from his sleeves.

There's no mistake. This was indeed the same girl. Underneath the painting was written ‘princess akiko’ in bold letters carved carefully on metal.

“But isn't her name y/n?” Said zenitsu. What's going on? Before tanjiro could say anything, a woman in her twenties bumped into them while rushing.

The photo slipped out from tanjiro’s fingers.

“I'm so sorr—” the women's words halted as she looked at the photo lying on the ground in front of her. She picked it up before tanjiro could.

“Where did you get this picture from?” She asked as if it were a taboo to have this.

“Ahh you know y/n?”

“Y/n?”

“She looks similar to the girl in that painting” the boy with the boar mask declared.

“For the hundredth time inosuke it's a photo.” said zenitsu.

“She doesn't looks like her. She is her. She is princess akiko. The youngest daughter of the imperial family.”

What?

Three of them couldn't believe their ears. “But her name is y/n…” whispered tanjiro in a low voice.

“Just who are you?” She looked at the picture carefully, as if hiding it from the world, “isn't this rengoku?”

“You know rengoku san?”

“That's the man who saved us from a fire incident in an old town. And then became the main reason of the storms in akiko’s life.”

Tanjiro's eyes widened at the mention of the fire incident “Are you atsuko?”

The women nodded, surprised they know her name. Tanjiro, then explained the whole matter.

“I see.”

“This isn't right akiko…you shouldn't have continued writing letters to him in first place.” Atsuko said trying to persuade her not to run away.

“I can't. I can't live here. They will never accept him. And I can't live without him.”

“Akiko, try to understand…rengoku loves y/n.”

“And i am y/n!” The sound of the rain pouring down increased.

“You are princess akiko. Y/n is just a fake name, you created to hide your real identity when decided to write him letters. I supported you then since i thought it was a one time thing.” Atsuko shook the girl's shoulders trying to bring her to the path she considered right.

“But I don't wanna be akiko. I wanna be y/n…y/n rengoku.” Tears fell from the eyes in front of her as sobs escaped her lips.

“You're playing with rengoku’s feelings. Even if you run away, how do you intend to tell him the truth? You can't pretend to be y/n your entire life akiko.”

The girl didn't answered atsuko. That day slowly came to an end along with the rain. And Akiko did run away to rengoku, away from her pointless life, being a puppet in her family's hands.

“She returned a month after she ran away. When I asked him about rengoku she said nothing. Soon her brother came and took her away.” Whispered atsuko in a voice so doleful, that it was clear, it hurted.

“Did rengoku san knew she was a princess?” Zenitsu asked.

“He probably didn't. Akiko's family arranged several politicians later to set her up but she caused such a ruckus that her family gave up at last.”

“Do you know where she is now…i need to deliver this letter to her.” Each word tasted like bile to him. He couldn't even imagine how miserable it had been. You literally rejected a crystal palace only to live a normal life with him. Which didn't even come true. How feverishly would it have hurt? How apathetic fate was…

“She lives in osaka, running an orphanage. You would find her there. Shall I get someone two drive you three over there?”

“That will be very thoughtful of you” said tanjiro.

Atsuko arranged a driver, who would drive them to the orphanage, they expect to find you in. The car ride was even more silent than the train one. Inosuke, even, didn't make any fuss seeing a car for the first time.

‘So this is where princess akiko lives.’ thought tanjiro. The building was similar to butterfly mansion, nothing that luxurious but quite spacious. The driver left soon after dropping them.

They crossed several corridors of children buzzing like bees. Laughter echoed among the hallways. How wonderful of a place for someone who lost their parents. Similar to them. They wondered if they would have grown up in this orphanage if they were born here.

Finally they reached to what seemed like an office. Similar to one shinobu used when researching herbs, the one which kanao uses now. They entered with a knock.

“Y/n san?”

Your head perked up at the name, which once your beloved used to refer. That beloved who never came.

Your heart ached a bit expecting kyojuro. A melancholic smile forms on your face seeing three kids infront of you. Of Course it wasn't him.

“yes?” you said gently, trying not to give in to your emotions.

But tanjiro could smell it. He smelled the intense grief bubbling within you. He could imagine how long you've bottled up your emotions.

Without saying much, he took the letter out of his sleeve placing it on your desk.

“It's been waiting for 3 years.”

“Huh?”

“Rengoku san wanted me to deliver this to you. Sorry this took so long.” your hands froze at his name. Your chest heaved without even you realizing as you grab the letter.

A single drop of tear fell on the spot which had been previously stained with tears. Tears of kyojuro rengoku.

Your fingers shaked tracing your name on the letter. The name which he used to call. Y/n not Akiko.

You teared the seal, taking out a paper. It was filled with words. Words, he never thought he could express on paper.

Dear y/n,

If you're reading this, then I'm sorry. I might have broken my promise of protecting you forever because by the time you read it— I will be dead.

Y/n i wanted to tell you, that I've loved you. I have loved you from the very beginning. Before even I saw you. You were the one who protected the flame in my heart. While others told me to set it ablaze, you made me learn how to keep the flame burning.

You were as beautiful to me as the rising sun. So bright, so clear. You were the epitome of my life. I wanted to live a peaceful life with you, in which my father let's go of his depression. In which your family accepts us. In which we don't have to hide from others. I wanted you to have my surname.

Your words were like the first rain of summer to me. You saved me from quenching my thirst by your words. I have been starved…. starved for so long that I forgot what being hungry for love feels like. Until you came into my life. you healed my heart, handled it as if it's porcelain.

I thought papers were something I would never choose to express myself with. But look at me now. Haha. I don't know why I'm writing it now, but I just feel like, the time’s soon going to be over. And I feel like I will be gone without seeing your face.

Please don't hate me for that.

If I get to spend my life with you I will probably burn this off, but if this letter somehow unfortunately finds you…I want you to know, I gave my best. I gave my very best to save the ones surrounding me. That I fullfilled my duty till the end. So don't feel sad.

I still can't believe you chose to love me. If possible I would like to meet you in another birth, in another universe without demons, where I will be yours, completely yours. You're the best thing that happened to me, y/n. You're just perfect.

But I must say….you’re dumb for choosing a man who bets his life for others, leaving the silver spoon you had in your mouth.

Sadly, our time was limited in this birth. Good bye princess akiko.

~ your kyojuro

The letter fell from your hands. Your lips quivering as you barely contained your tears, which stained the letter.

You just managed a smile at the kids who brought you this letter. He was no more. And you couldn't believe that. He knew you were Akiko not y/n. The truth you weren't able to tell him.

“I'm sorry for making this long. Rengoku san died saving us from a demon, 3 years ago” said tanjiro, tears staining his cheeks. So do the others, barely containing their emotions.

“oh! But i-im glad you all are safe. H-he fulfilled his duties right?”

“Does it hurts?” Tanjiro asked.

“A lot.” And if he wasn't seeing things, he saw rengoku for one second with a silly smile on his face, maybe wondering how to comfort you.

The second he blinked his eyes he was gone. What remained was his letter. Tanjiro handed the photo to you before leaving. He wondered if in another birth he gets to see the both of you reconcile.

He took a deep breath wanting to return to kanao. Maybe he would just ask her to marry him this year. He doesn't want to waste anymore time away from her.

“Where were you?” Asked zenitsu to inosuke, who went missing for a while. They are currently waiting for a train to go back home.

“To buy this.” Inosuke showed a butterfly hair pin decorated with blue crystals. It was beautiful.

“Woah. Who did you buy it for?”

“Aoi.” Tanjiro chuckled at his bluntness, while zenitsu smirked. It's funny how inosuke still gets both of their names incorrect but he never made a mistake in saying aoi’s name correctly. Who knows they might have two weddings…

Now that tanjiro had finally payed off the debt, he wished you happiness as he looked forward to a happier future. He will remember you, not as princess akiko, but as y/n.

“Let's go! I can't wait to see nezuko!!”

“Zenitsu watch out your way!!”

Could you do child reader for demon slayer, how would the hashira’s react or comfort child reader after she wakes up from a nightmare

(also Idk if I spell hashira right also I love reading the stories you make)

ʜᴇʟʟᴏ(•̀’◡’•̀)ﾉ thank you❤ I enjoy writing these

✿✼:*ﾟ:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟﾟ･**･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿　　

Tengen

You had frequent nightmares

Tengen was always the one to calm you down before tucking you back to sleep or taking you to his room to sleep with his wives

(he doesn't usually like the latter tho)

Tengen, Hina, Makio, and Suma were cuddled up in the middle of the night when Tengen woke up to the uneasy sound of your breathing.

"Must be another nightmare." He muttered to himself accidentally waking Hina.

"Is something wrong?" She asked as she started to get up but Tengen stopped her.

"No it's just the kid. I'll be back." He replied while getting up.

He made his way to your room to find you only to bump into you in the hallway.

"What are you doing out of your room?" He asked while looking down at your disheveled form. You were shivering even though you were wrapped in a blanket and your hair was going everywhich way.

"Can't sleep so I was going for a walk." You replied.

"At this hour? No you're goin' back to bed." He soothed as he patted your shoulders and turned you around to guide you back to your room.""At this hour? No you're goin' back to bed." He soothed as he patted your shoulders and turned you around to guide you back to your room.

"But I'm not tired." You panicked, not ready to go back yet. Tengen heard you heartbeat pick up as you got closer to your room, "Wait can I sleep in your room please. I don't want to be alone."

"C'mon kid." He chuckled as he led the way back to his room with you close behind.

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚　˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

Rengoku

The nightmares weren't your problem it was the aftermath

you were in a panic every time and the reason always changed

1 - it felt like your blanket was suffocating you so kyojuro stopped tucking you in tight

2 - Your door being closed made you claustrophobic so he felt your door halfway open

Shinjuro was up drinking when he heard a thud from your room. He wasn't going to check on you until it kept happening. He sighed as he got up and walked down the hall to Kyojuro's room.

"HEY!" He yelled at the sleeping hashira, "Can't you hear that?"

Kyojuro listened intently until he heard another thud, "I'm sorry for disturbing you father."

He surried out of his room to yours to find that you had been bumping into the walls.

"Y/n?"

"Mr. Kyo? It's too dark in here.... I woke up and I couldn't see." Your voice wavering as you tried not to cry.

"It's ok... How about we get some water and try to go back to sleep, okay?"

You nodded, and Kyojuro lit a candle and led you to the kitchen for some water. After you got settled back in your bed, he stayed up to make you fell asleep, then he put the candle out and went to sleep himself.

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚　˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

Sanemi

If you're looking for comfort you're not gonna get it

He not good with emotions and you cry so much that you can't even explain what's wrong

he just lets you cry it out while he has a cup of water for you so he's not dehydrated

one thing he does do is make sure you know that you're safe

Sanemi woke up to you crying. He gave you a few minutes hoping you'd calm yourself down but once he realized you weren't he gathered things you liked. A snack, water, your favorite book.

When he finally made it to your room, he opened your door, and you calmed down upon seeing him. You ran to him and clung to his legs much to his dismay.

"Cry it out kid." He awkwardly patted your head until you calmed down enough to pick you up and put you back on your bed, "Drink this." He tried to hand you the water but you refused. He sighed and tried to tuck you in bed but you pushed the blanket off.

"What do you want." He said through his teeth.

"It's too quiet."

"do you want me to read to you?"

You nodded and he opened the book he picked up and started reading from the beginning. Sanemi was more than halfway through the book before he realized you were asleep.

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚　˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

Gyomei

you rarely had nightmares and he made sure of that

You had enough problems in your life without nightmares

Gyomei made sure inscents with calming effects were burning everyday

"GYOMEI!" You called out running through the halls to find him.

"GYO YOU DIDN'T LIGHT THE LAVENDER!" You yelled running past the engage not even noticing the hashira.

"Y/n stop running you could get hurt." He scolded

You stopped and turned around with tears streaming down your face, "you didn't burn the lavender and I had a nightmare." You cried.

"I didn't? Are you sure."

"I'm positive."

"I'm sorry for the turmoil I've caused you." He stared to tear up, "but you were so brave for coming to find me. Usually you stay in your room. I'm proud of you."

"Thank you." You sniffled.

"Now how about we get you back in bed and this time I'll make sure the lavender is burning."

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚　˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

Obanai

you got on his last nerve

but he couldn't blame you for it he found you about to get eaten by a demon of course you're traumatized

You ate when he ate

You drank when he drank

For you to even think of laying down he was he be doing the same

Sanemi teases him for having a copycat

You can obanai shared a room with you, having your futon set up in the corner away from the door while he was in the center where you could see him.

The two of you were sleeping when you started to stir. You were tossing and turning, you even rolled out of your futon. Kaburamaru noticed and slithered over to you. He woke you the only way he knew how, he bit your hand.

"OW!" You cried while Kaburamaru slithered back to obanai. Obanai jumped up and looked toward you.

"What happend?" He yawned.

"Kabu bit me." You whined while rubbing your hand.

Obanai rubbed his face before going over to you and examining the bite.

"You were having another nightmare weren't you?"

"Yeah."

"Wanna talk about it?"

"No."

"Then lay back down. You'll be fine, you're safe hear but if something is wrong I'm never far from you. Understand?"

"Understood."

"Good.... Your hand in fine, goodnight."

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚　˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

Giyuu

all I can imagine is you standing at his bedroom door like "I threw up..."

He's so tired but at least taking care of you is also a way of taking care of himself

Giyuu couldn't sleep so he went to check on you before going to meditate but she he got close to your door he heard you crying.

*knock knock knock*

"Y/n can I come in?" He didn't wait for a response before he opened the door to see you under your covers crying.

"Y/n?" He said quietly, "whats wrong?"

"I had a nightmare... About a demon coming to get me." You cried. Giyuu cautiously approached you and placed a hand on your back.

"Demons can't get you in here. This place is protected and even if they did get in, Ill be here to protect you."

You sniffled and peaked out from under your blanket, "really?"

"Yes really. Ill be here until you fall asleep. Okay?" You nodded, "alright now close your eyes and take deep breath."

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚　˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

Shinobu

living in a hospital was not good for you but you had no choice

you saw all types of injuries and bodies

She tries to keep you away from other patients but she can't stop your wondering eyes

Shinobu was checking on you in the middle of the night to change your fluids when she found you wide away staring at the wall with wide-eyes.

"Y/n is something bothering you sweetheart?"

"That slayer that came in had tiny arms and legs... It was gross." You shivered causing the insect hashira to laugh.

"I warned you about leaving your room when there are new arrivals."

"I know but I was hungry but I wish I just starved."

"Silly girl, lay down and think about something else."

"I can't it was horrifiing."

"Well try for me please. You need sleep to regain your strength."

"Ok... " You yawned and layed down, watching as shinobu replaced your empty iv bag with a new one and falling asleep in the process.

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚　˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

Mitsuri

a nightmare??

oh that won't do she can't have you be scared in her care

If you to scared to sleep by yourself she'll make room in her bed for you

If you're hungry - say no more cause she'll make you a midnight snack

Or if you just want to talk she'll listen

"Ms. Kanroji." you gently shook her, "Ms. kanro-"

"Oh sweetie what are you doing up?" She was quick to pull you into a hug. It was so comforting that you almost fell asleep.

"I had a nightmare. Can I sleep in here tonight?"

"Of course you can. You don't even have to ask." She moved over as you make yourself comfortable cuddling against her.

"Your such a strong child. Youve been through so much and your still so kind. I don't think you have a mean bone in your-" Mitsuri's voice was so calming it made you drift of to sleep.

✿✼:*ﾟ:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟﾟ･**･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿　　

CouldI was looking at your other account and I liked the headcanons of the father figure(kny)and I wanted to ask for one. the father who is someone more sentimental but his face is stoic. It's like you see him from afar and you feel that he's rude until you talk to him and he talks to you very happy and with a big smile. Thank u for this

An: for the fathers I go with their occupation from other fics.

Mitsuri's ff is a Baker. Giyuu and Rengoku's is a retired hashira. Shinobu's is a doctor. Obanai, muichirou, sanemi and tengen are people from their past.

Some of them takes place during the training arc

Demon slayer masterlist

✿✼:*ﾟ:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟﾟ･**･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿

Tengen thinks that your intimidating aura is flashy

Makio is similar to Tengen but she wised you had the attitude to match your face

Suma makes you laugh a lot and doesn't understand how anyone can even think you could be rude

Hina thinks you're the sweetest man she's met

Hashira training is harsh and Tengen was working the young slayers to the bone. You were helping Hina, Makio and Suma cook/distribute the food.

As you made your way around passing out food, the chatter died down. You didn't notice but what you did notice was Tanjiro talking in a group.

His eyes beamed when they met yours. You walked over making the boys shiver away from you.

"L/n is nice to see you again."

"You to Tanjiro." You gave him a soft smile, "Would you like some more."

"Yes, please." He offered his bowl.

"Y/n yours supposed to be working not talking." Tengen called out to you. You ignored him and turned to the trainies aroudn you.

"Did you boys eat your fill?"

They all nodded and you said your goodbyes. as you were walking away you heard the boys quietly bumbard Tanjiro with questions.

"How are you not scared of him?

"You talk so causally with him, I'm jelous."

"How'd you get him to smile?"

You laughed to yourself.

--------------------------

I can see Kyojuro practicing smiling with you so that, in his words, it becomes natural

Ubuyashiki jokes about you getting your unfriendly vibes from being around Shinjuro

Senjuro doesn't think you're intimidating but he's bias

You Senjuro and Kyojuro were at the market buying things for dinner. It's always nice to get out of the house every once in a while and the villagers are very kind, especially since the Rengoku family is known slayers.

On this particular outing a group of kids (5 or 6 of them) were playing around the food booths. As Senjuro was picking out ripe fruit you watched as one of the smaller kids stopped playing and went to the closest stand, coincidentally the one you were at, and attempt to grab as much as they could.

You stopped them by grabbing anything and leaned down to their height.

"You and your friends have a nice distraction but stealing isn't okay so how about we pay for this huh." You tried to smile like Kyojuro taught you but it made you the kid cry instead.

You were flushed as you tried to get the kid to calm down, their friends came to see what was the problem but when you turned to them with a helpless expression they cautiously apporached you.

You look at the crying child, "There no need to cry." You turn to the group of kids, "and there's no need to steal. Grab whatever you need and I'll pay for it."

At that you and the group of kids went stall to stall buying enough food for them and their families.

One the walk back to the house.

"I think you handled that well. I mean only one kid cried." Kyojuro patted your back.

"ONLY ONE?"

"Its better than all of them crying right?"Senjuro chimed in.

You sighed, "I guess."

--------------------------

Obanai thinks you have a screw loose

You can act tuff and scary but you're literally a golden retriever

Obanai had just gotten back from eating out with Mitsuri to find you passed out, bleeding from the head while Kakushi fussed over you.

He rushed over to find out what happened but when he saw the look on your face he wanted to walk away.

You had a stupidly wide smile on your face as you held onto a broken tree branch.

"I don't know what happened I went to go make tea when I heard a thud. I'm so sorry Mr. Obanani." They cried but Obanai ignored them.

"What did you do." He questioned.

"I saw that a bird had fallen out of its nest so I put it back but on my way down the branch broke." You confessed still smilling like an idiot.

"Take him to Shinobu." He sighed as he looked up at the tree you fell from to see the mama bird staring back at him.

--------------------------

I honestly find Sanemi to be nice but in a brutally honest mean way ya know?

Genya likes having you around, especially when Sanemi is around

--------------------------

Mui doesn't say much about but he would compare you to a sting-ray

You are pretty to look at and harmless as long as no one hits are one nerve that only he can

"Oh Mui, be nice to them they look exhausted." You said, "Just cause Tanjiro isn't here doesn't mean you can bully them." It was the end of the day and the trainers were washing up.

"Its training, They'll be fine if they're strong enough."

You sighed and patted Mui on the back before checking on the trainees.

"Are you boys okay?"

"We're fine, sir."

"Are you sure?"

It looked like a few of them wanted to say something but they decided to keep their mouth shut.

"Then I guess none of you would like these sweets courtesy of the love hashira." You gestured to a cart full of treats. In an instant, they surrounded the cart and ate their fill.

--------------------------

twins

that's all I have to say

Giyuu was being followed by Tanjiro all day. You were asleep when he burst in your room asking for help.

"Y/n please help me." He shook you awake. You yawn and rolled over, clinging to sleep.

"Good morning, L/n." An enthusiastic voice called from your door causing you to shoot up. Looking over to Giyuu you mouthed 'he's still here' before getting up and opening your door.

"Good morning, forgive me for my appearance I didn't expect you here again." You blocked his view of your room with his body.

"You seem tired, sorry for bothering you."

"Oh, you're never a bother. Here for Giyuu?" You smiled.

"Yeah but I haven't seen him yet."

"Why don't you wait in the front I'm sure He'll show up sooner or later."

"Okay, thank you."

You watched a Tanjiro wobbled to the entrance of the estate. You gently closed your door and turned to giyuu.

"Seriously. You can't just talk to him." Your face dropped.

"He's persistent."

--------------------------

Shinobu likes that fact that your scary because no one has the balls to aruge with you about treatment

Aoi likes when you come to help for the same reason.

"Oto-san, can you help Aoi in the infirmary?" Shinobu said knocking on your door.

Sighing you stopped what you were doing and got presentable.

"Of course, how many slayers are there?"

"Full house."

"What happened to them?" You gasped as the two of you walked to the infirmary.

"Most of them are from Sanemi and Obanai's training."

"I'm gonna strangle those two." You hissed as you opened the door to the infirmary.

Shinobu is scary all by herself but the two of you together is suffocating.

"Good you're here. Please help." Aoi begged. You laughed as you watched the triplets go around with trays of medicine and got to work.

You handled everything with care and precision, Unfortunately, when you were focused you had an RBF. The trainees knew they were in good hands but they couldn't help but feel nervous around you.

As you said goodnight to everyone you smiled and wished them well.

--------------------------

Mitsuri had only seen you mad once and that was when she got her uniform

"Y/N I FOUND A STRAY KITTY." Kanroji burst into your bakery with the kitten wrapped in her haori.

"Aw poor thing." You cooed as you wiped your hands on your apron, then took it off. You carefully took the small thing into your arms and brought it to an empty table in the dining area.

The cat was huffing like a dog. It was overheated.

You quickly got it some water in a dish.

As the day went on, you and Kanroji watched over the cat as it slowly gained the strength to walk again.

"So what are you gonna do with it?" She asked as it purred in your lap.

"I'll keep em." You smiled as your patrons watched the adorable scene, silently waiting for you to take their orders. They wouldn't dare say it tho.

✿✼:*ﾟ:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟﾟ･**･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿

Can you do the demon Slayer hashiras after a fight with ghost Ronin Male Reader he wins and is just standing there with their sword still stabbed in him and just ask if they want it back and they pull it out and see reader's wounds healing up with fire and Reader just go about his day like it's nothing

✿✼:*ﾟ:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟﾟ･**･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿　　

Off the top of my head, I have a bit of a head cannon that the Ghost Ronin trains the Hashira and they are not used to seeing him heal himself.

Rengoku doesn't want to hurt you and u have to reassure him that your fine

After the fight was over he rushed towards you to see you engulfed in flames

"Are you alright I-"

your wound was already healed

Tengen find it cool and want to test your limits along with his

"Should I pull it out or...?" He asks as he grips the hilt.

You nodded and he quickly yanked it

The little blood that leaked from it caught fire and sealed it

Obanai looks at you like your insane

It was like you to were having a staring contest

You pulled out the sword and handed it to him

"What the fuck? " he muttered to himself as you went on you way to who knows where

Gyomei doesnt like hurting you but he knows that it won't kill you so he sorta okay with it

The demon you were fighting was fast and dodged gyomei's ball and chain leaving you to get hit with it

Gyomei faultered but quickly ended the demon so he could check on you

You walked up to him like nothing happened

Muichirou treats you like the yuichiirou doll.

(Before he got his memories) he wouldn't care that he stabbed you because you are durable

He just pulls the sword out and continues to fight

(After he got his memories) he is a bit more cautious because even if you regenerate you can still feel pain

Giyuu pulls out his sword and apologies many times and makes you your favorite snack.

Shinobu can't cut you but she does poison you

She was aiming for the demon but missed and hit you

Immediately you burst into flames

The poison didn't get a chance to spread

Mitsuri panics and cries like she just killed you.

"Oh my goodness. I'm so sorry. I can-"

"I'm fine... See" you pulled out her sword with some difficulty

She watched as you healed yourself and sighed in relief

Hello hello! Your writing has dragged me back into Demon Slayer(/vpos) and I got an idea, if you’re up for it! (This might be rambley so bare with me please)

What about (character(s) of your choice) with a music lover s/o or friend who gets turned into a siren-like demon? Physically speaking, maybe their skin becomes scales and they grow some fins here and there. And while they’re still mentally present enough to be themselves rather than a mindless cryptid, perhaps they become spacey, a bit more jumpy, and find a lot of solace near water/with music. How would your characters of choice handle these changes? Especially if s/o refuses to drink blood(or at least sources it like Tamayo does) and wants to fight by their side? (Maybe their Blood Art has something to do with their voice, like a Siren’s luring voice or a Banshee scream!)

I hope that’s not too much detail, feel free to leave out/add anything and have a wonderful day/night! Thank you!!

◡̈⋆ʜᴇʟʟᴏ(●’◡’●)ﾉ thank you for requesting, don't worry I love a lot of details.

sorry for the wait

I viewed most of these as platonic but it can go either way

If there is anything that you need Tanjiro gotchu. If you do drink blood he'll offer his if you don't that's even better. Out of everyone here he notices the changes in your personality the most. He notices your likes and dislikes and changes what he does to accommodate you.

"Y/n? you alright?" Tanjiro taps your shoulder to which you jump and turn around. Seeing that it was just him and nezuko you smile.

"Yeah why wouldn't I be?"

"We're on a mission and you were spacing out again." He sweatdropped as you took in your surroundings. It was the middle of the night, in a forest.

"Oh I'm sorry." You flush, "Did you kill the demon. I'm so sorry-"

"No no it's fine... it's just that I kinda broke my leg and I'm bleeding internally."

"OH MY GOD."

-------

One minute you're both talking then the next Muichirou forgets what you were talking about and you are spacing out. When he gets his memories back the first thing he remembers about you is your voice. You never tried to eat him so why should he care if you are a demon or not.

After the battle in the swordsman village, Muichirou was transported to the butterfly mansion.

"MUI-"

"Y/n don't shout this is an infirmary." Aoi scolded and you replied with a meek sorry.

the moment the two of you made eye contact, his eyes lit up. His best friend was waiting for him and he could clearly remember everything about anything.

You waited for Aoi to finish setting Muichirou in a room before you sat at his side and talked to him.

"Y/n can you sing the song that you're always humming."

-------

Rengoku believes that if nezuko can be a non-human-eating demon then there is a chance for you to be one too. Once he knows you're harmless he brings you around senjuro.

You were a former demon slayer and or close friend(or S/o) to the flame hashira, Your families were close.

"Senjuro you remember Y/n, don't you?"

"Oh no did something happen to them."

"Well not exactly she um-" cue you (who was standing in the shadows of the Rengoku estate) stepping out into the sunlight and getting burnt.

You gave Senjuro a heart attack when he saw you.

-------

Genya doesn't know how to react. It takes him days to figure out how to deal with literally everything. Man is walking on eggshells around you.

He literally just stares at you.

"Um genya... your creeping me out."

In the blink of an eye he snaps out of it and his face goes red.

-------

mitsuri finds you absolutely adorable, she's glad that you didn't turn into a full demon. Obanai on the other hand is very skeptical.

"Obanai look it Y/n." Mitsuri enthusiastically presented you to the less-than-happy man.

"Another demon seriously."

"Oh Obanai don't be so

-------

Tamao takes an interest in your changes. You being around is like a breathe of fresh air for her and Yushiro. Although Yushiro would never admit it.

"How are you feeling today Y/n." Tamao said as she offered you a cup of blood.

"I'm feeling fine thanks for asking.

"If you feel so fine would you mind getting back to work." Yushio butted in.

"Ah poor Yushiro having to cover for me for less than 2 days while I was out."

"Oh please you were only dying for a day you stayed down to be dramatic."

"Wow I-"

"Can both of you not argue please."

Merry Christmas to everyone. I hope this holiday season has been full of joy.

This is my FINAL post of 2023.

It has been a year of many surprises and has now ended.

I'm still accepting requests but I won't post until the New year because there is so much going on.

oh oh the oiran one got me thinkin' of a slightly dif concept : reader that is also working for Daki but is also a demon. Suddenly, reader gets chosen by a customer but lo and behold: Two hashira , Giyuu and Kyojuro (imagine that he survives Akaza's attack and didn't get to be a donut). reader is intimidated but tries their best t obviously a low level demon can't take them on in a fight, so they just hide the fact that they are a demon by using an ability that masks that. and then just do the things any normal Oiran does until their customers are satisfied.

demon slayer masterlist

✿✼:*ﾟ:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟﾟ･**･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿　　

You always attended to Daki for anything and everything that she needed but when a customer called on you Daki was quick to push you in their direction.

You went to meet them expecting to see a who was down on his luck but instead saw not 1 but 2 demon slayers. You didn't even have to get close to know that they were stronger than you. You quickly turned around to warn daki.

"Do you want to disappoint me?" She raised an eyebrow at your trembling form.

"Of course not but I-" You were cut off by the back of her hand across your face. A crisp slap.

"Then go and do your job." She came close to your face so she could whisper in your ear, "Who are you more afraid of? Me or 2 demon slayers?"

She didn't want to hear your answer and walked away.

Using your demon art(whatever you want it to be) You masked your 'demon scent'.

-----

"Did both gentlemen ask for me?" You smiled and looked between the 2 slayers. They were so strong, that you started to think they were Hashira but quickly shook that thought from your head.

"Yes we did," Giyuu said, he looked uninterested in his surroundings while Rengoku was taking everything in. You lead them to your room.

The three of you had a pleasant conversation (mostly you and rengoku) but you weren't an Oiran and you knew what almost everyone came to the redlight district for. So you started to disrobe.

Rengoku grabbed your hands before you pulled off your kimono.

"There is no need to disrobe, miss, we did not come for that. We are here for information. There have been many reports of missing people here so I will ask. Have you heard of any suspicious activity from the woman in the house?" His hand was still on yours and he talked.

You slowly pulled away, "I'm sorry but I haven't heard anythin-" There was a sword at your throat quickly silencing you. Giyuu was behind you ready to slice the moment you moved.

"Weapons aren't aloud in the red light district sir." You tried to tell him but he didn't care.

"Neither are demons." Rengoku's once happy and light tone turned dark as he had his chest pressed against yours and his sword at the back of your throat. You tried to back up but you back hit Giyuu's chest.

Your fucked from both directions.

"I will ask again but differently this time. Are you the only demon here?"

'crap' You thought there is no way out. If you call for Daki you'll die before she gets to you and if you don't say anything you'll die. But what if you comply with them.

You wanted even the slighted chance that you'll live you so you comply.

"There are 2 others but they're strong."

"Where are they?" Giyuu demanded to know.

"I don't know, they could be anywhere in this building or others."

Giyuu and Rengoku looked at each other like they could read each other's mind before it was Rengoku's turn to question you.

"Have you ever killed someone?"

"Yes but never by choice. I only do what I'm told." You were honest Daki made you do her dirty work when you had first been turned into a demon.

'To toughen you up' she said.

"How many?"

"I don't know."

"Your name."

"Y/n."

"I liked the conversation we had y/n but you have killed an unknown number of people because a demon tells you to. You cannot be allowed to live."

In a final effort to leave with your life you scream.

"DAKI."

But the moment you do your head is severed, you screamed until you couldn't.

------

Rengoku really did like your conversation, he just wished that you weren't a demon.

A Situation For Male Hashiras Where The S/O Is The Father Figure Of The Hashiras And Is Around 70-85 Years Old And During An Oni Attack The S/O Is Affected By A Kekkijutsu Which Rejuvenates Him Back Into The Body Of An 22 year old male.

Would Hashiras Feel Intimidated Seeing How Attractive and Handsome Their Father Is? Like prettier than them?

How would Tengen feel about his three wives paying a lot of attention to him due to his beautiful face and body?

Would Obanai feel intimidated due to Mitsuri appearing to like the S/O a lot in that younger appearance? Considering that the S/O is very Attractive.

Obanai, muichirou, sanemi and tengen are people from their past.

Demon slayer masterlist

-------

Rengoku

Everyone was stunned except for shinjuro

Shinjuro looked at you like

Kyojuro complimented you on your physique and encouraged you to become a slayer again

That was quickly shot down by shinjuro saying that even if you were young again you haven't fought in years and you could do something else with you time

Senjuro is just glad your alright, he was so worried when he heard you were attacked

Tengen

You went out for a walk when you were attacked

When you got back Hina greeted you thinking you were there to visit uzui

He wasn't there at the moment so Makio and Suma kept you busy while Hina made snacks

You tried to explain who you were by saying you name and what happened but they didn't get it

I guess they thought you weren't right in the head or something

"Oh our father in law has the same name" -Suma

When Tengen came back he recognized you immediately

He explained everything again and they realized you weren't crazy and were actually their FIL

They gushed over you for the rest of the day

Tengen was jealously sitting in the corner while watching

Obanai

He's glad that your young again

to him it means more years with a father figure

He made sure you never left his sight

You were once a fragile old man after all

You and obanai were going out to eat when you ran into mitsuri

"HI OBANAI" -mitsuri yelled from afar catching your attention

"Hello Kanroji" the both of you said

She looked at you confused but still smiled

"Hello I don't think we've met. I'm mitsuri Kanroji."

"Kanroji it's me, Y/n"

She looked so confused until obanai explained

"You look amazing, Mr. L/n" -Mitsuri

That comment set obanai off

He looked at you like you had lost his trust for days

Sanemi

It was foolish for you to go on a mission with him but u went anyway

He was fighting

"WTF HAPPENED I LOOKED AWAY FOR A SECOND!"

He still treated you like you were old

He wouldn't let you walk for too long

He would do all the chores

He would chase Genya away for bothering you while you were resting your eyes

He would watch you sleep to make sure you weren't dead (ya know how old look dead when they sleep)

Genya would be confused but not ask about it and instead do more active things with like (like some things that gyomei taught him)

Muichiro

he doesn't know who tf you are

One minute your old and the next your young

"Tokito it's me"

"Who?"

"Y/n"

.

.

.

"No your not"

He refused to leave the area without you

It took a message, by crow, to shinobu to prove to him that you were you

For days be was awkward around you

He would stare as if he's solving math problems in his head

Giyuu

Initially he was scared cause you just fought off a demon at your old age but when he got to look he you he was just confused

How could you be young again

The both of you went to visit Urokodaki and he had a good laugh at the situation

Giyuu didn't think it was funny

He was genuinely concerned

He took you to shinobu but she said everything was fine

That didn't help ease his worries tho

He watched over you like a hawk

He went on missions less and instead watched over you

No matter how many time you tell him your fine he just can't take your word for it

Shinobu

she'd do multiple check-ups out of confusion

How is it possible that your young again

Was it just your appearance that changed or your body too?

Is it permanent?

The triplets help shinobu while trying not to stare at you they look away when you catching them

Kanao just stares

Aoi acted as if nothing happened, she never treated you differently and even snuck your favorite food to you when Shinobu wasn't looking

Mitsuri

She got a message from her crow that your shop was under attack

She was panicking as she raced to get to you but when she got there, in your place behind the counter there was a attractive young man

This made her more scared she thought 'you' were your relative or something

When you told her what happened she dropped her sword and hugged you

Say goodbye to your newly young bones cause the hug she gave you will made you feel old again

"I'm sorry but I thought you were dead."

sorry for the wait

Demon slayer masterlist

✿✼:*ﾟ:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟﾟ･**･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿　　

Sanemi

Your dad was living with you and Sanemi after he had a bad accident and hurt his hip

The same way you treat sanemi as a son he treats him as and grandson (genya too)

your dad spoils him rotten

"Really Sanemi?" you slapped the back of his neck as the two of you walked into the house from a long day of training new slayers.

"I didn't do anything wrong." He argued trying to speed walk away from you. You wouldn't let him go.

"You were supposed to train the lower ranks not send them to the hospital."

"That doesn't mean you can- OW." You yelped as a hard object collided with the back of your head. You whipped your head around to see your dad struggling to bend down to get his geta.

"Don't punish him for doing his job, boy."

"You didn't see those poor slayers, broken limps, puffy faces. It was overkill."

He ignored you and instead went to coddle Sanemi. (I imagine sanemi looking back at you with a smug face)

"Dad, he can ju-"

"Are you a hashira?" he interrupted, raising a hand to slap your shoulder since he can't reach your head due to his hip. He's old so his hit don't do much.

"...Dad... stop..."

Tengen

your father wanted to visit for a weekend and he's a fickle old man and favors Tengen over u

in his eyes he can do no wrong and tengen know it

anytime your father comes for a visit he makes trouble for you but now that everyone is older hopefully he grew out of that

You decided to make your father's favorite dish while he chatted with tengen and his wives.

"so what brings you here this time pops." Your dad hates that name but because Tengen used it he's fine with it.

"Do I need an explanation to visit?" He chuckled.

"Of course not, our house is always open to you." Hina smiled as she helped you set the table and serve drinks.

"Y/n when is dinner ready, I'm getting hungry." Tengen very flamboyantly and not like a child at all complained.

"Soon... I would've been done if I had help tho." You muttered the last part.

"I heard that." Tengen said.

"What'd he say."

"Just a smartass comment. pops I think he need to be taught a lesson."

You stopped cooking and faced them.

"Really Tengen. You are not a child anymore, deal with your own problems."

He was about to when your dad stopped him and threw his geta right at your forehead.

Guess he never grew out of it.

Rengoku

It came as a shock to see your dad talking to shinjuro over a glass of sake

You haven't heard from him since you a little before you retired

You honestly thought he kicked the bucket

"It's rude to stare Y/n" Your dad said, pausing the conversation with shinjuro.

"Sorry sir, I just didn't expect you to be here."

He was about to respond when Kyojuro came from behind you.

"Ah, kyo you've gotten so big. All that training I've heard you've been doing really shows. I hope y/n hasn't given you a hard time when you go on missions together."

'crap I didn't tell him I retired.' you thought as you gave kyo a pointed look to not say anything but he is very oblivious.

"Y/n retired when I became hashira."

(cue a comedically slow head turn towards you)

"Your so young why retire?" He questioned as he placed his hand on your shoulders. You honestly couldn't tell if he was mad or not.

"I got hurt and couldn't fight anymore. I'm sorry for not telling you."

"All the training that we did and 1 fight was enough to take you out? Really y/n."

The night he gave you a real injury.

An: Botanical Garden coming soon

Stay tuned

Hi there. How are you doing?

I wanted to ask if you could do one about the hashiras meeting a new hashira (if it's not much trouble could you do a Male reader).

This hashira uses the Nature breathing (I took a quiz for a fanmade breathing style and this is what I got. If you don't want to write for this breathing you can use other one).

Maybe you can write about the firts impressions about this new hashira.

Thanks so much and I hope it's not much trouble

◡̈⋆ʜᴇʟʟᴏ(●’◡’●)ﾉ I'm doing well, (๑`✪̤◡✪̤)◞ღԵհɑղƘՏღ for asking. I hope you are well too.

Can you send me the quiz i kinda wanna take it

demon slayer masterlist

✿✼:*ﾟ:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟﾟ･**･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿　

rengoku

He respected your hard work and unique breathing style

he would offer to train you and polish your skills

he would treat you like a younger sibling

tengen

He loves the fact that you made a new breathing style

His wives sometimes invite you over for dinner

sanemi

he doesn't like you at first

He may warm up to you overtime

just don't bring up him and genya's relation

obanai

he also doesn't like you

but unlike sanemi, you can't warm up to him

instead you have to show him why your a hashira

show him your strength

then he'll atleast be sorta friendly

he would never treat you how he treats giyuu tho

gyomei

i feel like you would know him long before you were a Hashira

like you would've been his tsuguko

He is so proud of all the work you have done but it also worried that you won't come back after a mission

He has buried enough children and hopes that you won't be another one

muichirou

(before he regained his memories)

wouldn't care

constantly asking who you were and why you were at every hashira meeting

(after)

he would be a whole lot nicer

but remind him of your name

giyuu

he finally has a someone to talk to

You sit next to him at every mission

Tou stand up from him when obanai and sanemi talk bad about him

you visit his estate alot

shinobu

idk why but I feel like she wouldn't care that your a hashira, instead she care more about your health

like when you come back from missions she would insist that you need a check-up even when you don't have a scratch on you

mitsuri

she loves everything about you

she can't wait for a mission with you to see how strong you are

if you ask her to train with you she 100% would and you would get man handled

✿✼:*ﾟ:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟﾟ･**･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿　

hear me out

reader who is a hashira who encounters akaza during the mugen train arc and unlike rengoku who declines his offer to become a demon. And reader accepts his offer. reason unknown who knows why but i think this would be pretty cool to write about?

demon slayer masterlist

I have another request that will be a part 2 when i finish it

✿✼:*ﾟ:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟﾟ･**･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿　　

The mission started out so well but it started going downhill once you gained your mark. You didn't tell anyone.

'The 2 Hashira and three kanoe ranks defeated a lower moon.' If only the mission ended right there.

Akaza showed up and came straight for Tanjiro who was injured and laying on his back.

"why would you go after a wounded person first over me?" Rengoku asked as he blew back the demon.

"I thought he would get in the way of our little chit-chat is all."

"What is it that you would like to discuss. While this is our first-time meeting, I already dislike you." Rengoku said with a straight face.

"Is that right? Well, I dislike weak human beings. The mere sight of them makes my skin crawl."

"If that is the case, I do not believe that we will ever get along."

"Be that as it may let me make you an offer. Why don't you become a demon as well."

'Become a demon? Can a person just become a demon like that? What about the people counting on them? What about their family?' You thought as you readied yourself for the upcoming battle.

"No thanks." Rengoku said, straight forward as always.

"I can tell just by looking at you that you're strong. A Hashira Huh. Your fighting spirit has been tempered like quality steel. Your name?"

"I'm the flame hashira, Kyojuro Rengoku."

"I am Akaza as you may already know. Kyojuro, despite being a Hashira your strength is not enough because your merely human is destined to grow old and eventually die. Become a demon Kyojuro, doing so will allow you to better yourself for a hundred maybe two hundred years." Akaza waisted his breath trying to persuade the purest human you've ever met.

'If I can become a demon then maybe I can help the crop from the inside' You thought about it more. Turning into a demon is starting to sound like a good idea.

"Both growing old and passing away, these are things that make being human beautiful. Those may seem like weaknesses to you, but our lives are all the more precious and honorable because of them. You see true strength does not refer to the physical body. This boy is not weak, don't insult him. Let me be clear: the two of us will never see eye to eye no matter your twisted reason. I will not yield."

"I'm going to disappoint you Rengoku. I'm truly sorry my friend." You whispered hoping that he could hear you despite his busted ear drums.

"I see. Technique development: Destructive death compass needle." Akaza got into his signature fighting stance. "I guess I'll just have to kill you then."

"WAIT!" You jumped into the battle, "Nobody has to die here."

"Ah another Hashira. What are you suggesting that you become a demon instead?"

"Only if you promise to not hurt anyone else." You step in front of Rengoku and the others, shielding them from Akaza's view.

Akaza smiled reaching his hand out and saying, "Then come on."

You took his hand.

And just like that, you were gone never to be seen until the final battle

✿✼:*ﾟ:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟﾟ･**･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿　　

Okay The Hashira taking care of a half human half demon baby? Like the baby can survive on human food and animals and are repulsed by human blood. Like the babies basically are found trying to explore new things like Nezuko in a way

Demon slayer masterlist Demons with baby reader

✿✼:*ﾟ:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟﾟ･**･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿　

Shinjuro held you in the air and examined you. Kyojuro left you with his father while he and senjuro went to the market.

Leaving you with a former Hashira wasn't a good idea in hindsight but who would kill a child.

"Half human half demon huh?" He muttered to himself as he watched you move in his arms.

He lowered you to where you were nestled on his chest and he laid back.

Shinjiro and kyojuro came back to see you and their father asleep on the floor in your room.

-------

Giggles could be heard in the Tengen ousehold as it was dinner time.

Tengen was rolling on the floor with you as the girls made dinner.

"Hope the both of you worked up an appetite." Hina came in giggling at her husband on his back with you on his stretched-out feet.

"Ahh lord Tengen you have to be careful with them. They're just a child." Suma came in fusing over to pick you up

-------

Obanai didn't know how to take care of a child so he went to the closest person he knew, Mitsuri.

"Aww look how cute Obanai they eat human food." She gushed as she feed you.

Obanai watched in adoration as he couldn't help but think about how good she is with kids (people in general)

"Cool." Such a shallow response that held back everything he actually wanted to say.

If only he could tell her. (😭)

-------

"What am I supposed to do with you." Sanemi muttered as you crawled all over your temporary bedroom (a small room he didn't know what to do with).

"what do you eat?" He kneeled down to your height. You crawled up to him, using his knees to try and stand.

He poked your stomach causing you to lose balance and fall. You stared up at him, He stared down at you.

you started to huff.

'oh no' the thought 'they're gonna cry'

and cry you did. You screamed your lungs out as he tried everything to calm you down. He even tried to feed you his blood, which only made you scream louder.

He got you to calm down by giving you Ohagi. Turns out you love it almost as much as he does.

------

"Time to go to bed Y/n." Giyuu said as he watched you play with your toys for like two hours.

You turned to him before giggling. Unfortunately for Giyuu, you knew how to run. You stood up and got ready for an unwanted game of tag and hide n seek.

"Don't even try, It's time for bed." Giyuu also got ready as this isn't the first time this happened.

In fact, this happens most nights and Giyuu is always the winner.

You ran out of the room with Giyuu close behind you. You rounded the corner at full speed. Too much speed. You hit the wall. Giyuu was quick to pick you up.

"This is why we don't run in the house." He comforted you by rubbing your head and bringing you to your room. You were asleep in his arms as he laid you down.

------

All Muichirou wanted to do was train but since you were assigned to him his attention was all on you.

Currently, the 2 of you were having a staring contest as you both ate. You copied his movements, and he would just watch.

You never cried, screamed, or made much noise. You and Muichirou got along great.

He brought you to every Hashira meeting and he let you do your own thing.

-----

"Bu" you called to Shinobu from the pin she put you in. It was the only word you could say.

She looked up from her work over to you. You were standing holding on to the bar of the pin.

"Ah someone finally awake." She set her work aside and went to check on you.

"Bu Bu" You squealed as she picked you up.

"I'm here. I'm here."

You were the only reason she never worked herself to death.

What if he met the Ghost rider (he kinda thinks ghost rider is a threat)? or maybe! GR reader save his life in mugen train arc?

✿✼:*ﾟ:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟﾟ･**･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿　　

You were following your intuition and wound up on train tracks, miles from the fast approaching train

Right before the train reached you it was derailed

You watched as the mush of a demon disenigrated

You helped the people from under the rumble but most were scared of your looks

While helping the people you noticed another fight start, this time the demon was stronger

You weren't able to help the slayer in time as you saw he got punched straight through his stomach

You ran to the fallen fighter as a boy with a checkered Haori threw his sword at the demon.

"Another demon?" Rengoku questioned as you came into his line of sight.

"No, my appearance may be deceiving but I help slay demons. I cannot let a well trained fighter, such as yourself, die here." You put a hand on his shoulder and he burst into flames.

"GET AWAY YOU DEMON." A boar head came into veiw, swinging his swords wildly. You effortly dodged.

"Wait Inosuke, he's not a demon. The sun is up." The checkered Haori boy said as he tried to restrain the wild child.

Tanjiro had recognized you from Kanao's description of the man who saved her life.

Walking past the 2 to get to rengoku you see that the flames are burning out as the wound closes the his orgas heal.

"How do you feel." You asked,standing in front of him.

"I feel... AMAZING. Thank kind sir." Rengoku jumped up and bowed as a sign of thanks.

When he raised his head you were gone. You left a small patch of burnt grass where you once stood.

Hi I love the request they made with an S/O that looks like Cruella de Vil, so I could request a scenario where the S/O is like Mother Gothel from Tangled who is extremely concerned about being young and beautiful. How would they react upon learning that their S/O had betrayed the Demon Slayer Corps, and handed over Kagaya's location to Muzan in exchange for eternal beauty and youth?

◡̈⋆ʜᴇʟʟᴏ(●’◡’●)ﾉ coincidentally I was just thinking of something like this but with genshin

✿✼:*ﾟ:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟﾟ･**･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿　

Rengoku

He would try to get you to understand that you are perfect the way you are you don't need to change anything but you

It's was started when shinjuro called you ugly. A small comment that Kyojuro thought wouldn't bother you b/c of previous interactions with his father

You were a lower rank demon slayer but you knew enough about demons to know that they didn't age and they could change their form to whatever they wanted

You got obsessed with the idea and told rengoku... That didn't go over well. He now had to choose between you or the people, he chose the people

Tengen

It was fun when he would come home to you, Makio, Suma and Hina waiting for him so you all could do a skin routine

You would rub the stress and wrinkles right off of them

You were the oldest wife but you weren't that old. He wished you could see yourself through his eyes

You ran from the house and everyone was in a panic. Soon demons started to come near kagaya's house.

Everyone fought to save them but sadly no one survived

Sanemi

Dead

On the spot

He'll cry while killing you but he has to do it (◞ ‸ ◟ㆀ)

He can't risk everyone f

Obanai

He knew which path you were going down

How could he not, you were obsessed with your looks

He didn't let you lose your humanity

He had to become a murder to keep you from going even further into the deep end

No one knew were you went and Obanai was starting to distance himself

(This man have been through enough💀)

Giyuu

He is distraught

He'll try to reason with you. If he's words did get to you, he'd never let you go and make sure that you are always taken care of before himself

If his words don't work I don't think he would kill you as a human

If you were a demon he'd hesitate but in the end you'd be dead

Shinobu

Poor girl can't catch a break(none of them can)

Once she realizes that what you want to do is beyond the point of going back she will poison you with something that ja painless

She'll give you a proper burial and set up a small shrine in her room to give her a reminder of how demon zzlayers have to make hard choices

Mitsuri　

She wonders if she never become a demon slayer she would end up like you

She won't kill you

She can't

She'll feel guilty for letting you go and cause so much trouble but she just can't do it

✿✼:*ﾟ:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟﾟ･**･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿　　

Hey how about the Hashira meeting Demon reader who has the same personality and abilities as Kiriko from Overwatch 2. If you don’t know who she is, then I’ll gladly explain. Kiriko is a ninja healer who uses kunai and is aided by a kitsune spirit. She can create protection suzu as well as healing ofuda to her allies. Kiriko is cheeky and full of life with a cheek styled humor and is not afraid of teasing others despite how intimidating they might be. She has youthful energy and intelligence making her extremely personable. If anyone sass or disrespects her, she makes a comeback. Like the fox spirit, she is a trickster but while being a lighthearted trickster, she has a strong moral compass and believes in taking care of those around her and is a natural leader. Also, she has a sweet tooth.

◡̈⋆ʜᴇʟʟᴏ(●’◡’●)ﾉ you did a great job explaining cause I had no idea who that is.

✿✼:*ﾟ:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟﾟ･**･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿　　

Rengoku

Loves your help and enthusiasm

He can be reckless at times and to have someone to heal him is a life saver

If you went with him on the train and watched the lady throw a bun at him you'd chew her out

Tengen

His wives adore you (how could they not)

NFL he kinda jealous from all the attention you take away from him

Sanemi

Contant arguing

only Kagaya can shut the both of you up

He thinks he hates you but did down he knows if something happened to you he would be devastated

Obanai

It's was hard talking to him at first

The two of you only every agreed on one thing

'Mitsuri is an Angel'

Giyuu

You speak for him (in a good way of course)

If he doesn't know what to say or how to say it you say it for him

He is forever thank you it

Muichirou

He finally gets to be a kid with a friend

You tease each other constantly

to anyone else it looks like you are fighting but it's just harmless bickering

Shinobu

if you think you get along with her... you don't

She can freely express her emotions with you

She tolerates you cause you help with the injured but she does genuinely like your help

Mitsuri

If anyone says bad mouths her they'll have to deal with you. Point. Blank. Period.

The two of you always go to different bakers before and after missions

✿✼:*ﾟ:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟﾟ･**･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿　　

How about the hashira meeting Male Reader who's a demon similar to Sun Wukong from Journey to the West he likes to play pranks and fight with strong people and carries a staff that can grow and shrink he also has monkey features and can make clones of himself and is immortal they find out when they cut his head off only for another one to pop out

✿✼:*ﾟ:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟﾟ･*✿✼:*ﾟ:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟﾟ･*

You a demon. Like an actual demon, not made from a flower but a true demon. You don't eat people usually, you don't burn in the sun either. You do your own thing.

You said you would help the demon slayers cause muzan is "giving real demons a bad name", but who said you were going to be 100℅ cooperative.

Rengoku

You train with him a lot

he liked that fact that your fighting style is so unpredictable it keeps him on his toes

He doesn't even have to worry about you dying cause you come regenerate

just don't play a prank on him

Tengen

Loves the fact that you March to the beat of your own drum

also love pulling pranks on people with you but if you play a prank on him or his wives it will take a long time for him to forgive you

Sanemi

You play a lot of pranks on him just piss him off

calls you 'monkie boy' which you hate

Obanai

Your main victim for all your pranks

he wishes he could kill you

he has tried but you come back just to laugh at him

When you go on missions with him Kaburamaru sometimes coils around your staff

Giyuu

You go on missions with him a lot

His calm demeanor balance your wild and unpredictable personality (like Tang Sanzang)

Muichirou

pranking kind right here

you have an idea and he is already putting it in motion

When you go on missions with him you usually shrink down and stay on his shoulder hoping he would forget about you so you could scare him later (it never works)

Shinobu

You are most well behaved around her, even helping her prepare medicine and gather materials, sometimes using your powers

You were her taste tester for poisons and medicines

they wouldn't kill you so why not

Mitsuri

You love training with her

No matter how hard you try she is the one person who can beat you

her headlocks are deadly but you didn't want to hurt her trying to break free so you waited until she let go

✿✼:*ﾟ:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟﾟ･**･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿　　

The hashira headcanons with a demon mother reader who is taking care of a human child that her own? Like the reader was pregnant when she was turned into a demon and the hashira finds her saving her child from another demon. Like she has baby or 1 year old toddler

✿✼:*ﾟ:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟﾟ･**･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿　　

Rengoku

Feels terrible about your situation

He wants to help but he also wants to do his job

In the end he just can't do it and let's you go

Ever since then, after missions he visits you and your child while the two of you have dinner together

Tengen

"What a dedicated mother"

He saw your deadly blood demon arc in use as you killed the demon and tengen was after cause he had your child

He admired how you were ready to give your life for your childs

If he lets you live, you are like the mother he wished he had

Sanemi

At first he thinks you stole the child and was going it eat it

Once you told him that the baby was yours he didn't believe you and tried to kill you

thank goodness you can protect yourself or else you would be dead

Once he finally believes you he lets you go your way

Obanai

wtf

For the first time he hesitated killing a demon

in the end he was glad he didn't do it

even if he did what was he going to do with the baby

he wished he had a mother who would fight a demon to protect him

Giyuu

He didn't even think about killing you when you were protecting a human child (which he later found out was yours)

After the demon was defeated you and him sat and just talked

it would be really heartbreaking tbh. Seeing a innocent person turn into a demon while they were pregnant was something he wouldn't even think about.

Muichirou

When he saw you jump in front of him he didn't know what to think

"A demon killing another demon?"

But then he saw your child

He forgets that your even a demon sometimes because he mainly sees you caring about your child

Shinobu

another 'wtf'

she thought she had seen it until she met you

She initially thought you were a threat but after all that she checked on you and the baby

although its a bit different she and the butterfly estate accept you with open arms

Mitsuri

She would've offered you to stay at her estate but she was worried someone would find you

She thinks you child is absolutely adorable

She's glad you can fight for you and your child

she wished you didn't have to be a single mom + a demon

✿✼:*ﾟ:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟﾟ･**･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿　　

A lot happened this week. My birthday. I got my drivers license, and school is coming to an end. It's all exciting

Hi I can ask the Hashiras who Adopt an S/o which is almost like a Cruella de Vil who hates Animals Because of a Violent Past. With their Family where the S/O Was Abused by their Family and Their Animals How would they deal with the S/O Trying to Kill an Animal And Make Clothes With Its Skin. How Obanai Could Handle S/O Trying to Kill His Cobra To Make It A Clothing Accessory It would be an interesting scenario.

I have never watched 101 Dalmatians or cruella de Villa so this might be wrong

✿✼:*ﾟ:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟﾟ･**･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿　　

Rengoku

You can't tell me this man isn't a animal lover

He is fascinated by your work but can't help feel sorry for the poor things

if you want any specific animal he will haunt day and night for it

Tengen

Loves you entire wardrobe

constantly asks you to make him things, especially fur coats

You love making things for him and the girls

he blames your family for your little habit (he's never even met them)

Obanai

How

Just how did you even manage to get with him

If he sees any snake print he throws it away

he hides  Kaburamaru from you

he can barely sleep if you and  Kaburamaru are in the same room

you try anything, he will not hesitate, backstory or not

Sanemi

he is disgusted

he watched you once and that was enough

Giyuu

Let's you do you

he won't ask you to make you anything but when you do he loves it. might not where it but he loves it.

Comforts you whenever you get triggered

Muichirou

Forgets you make animals things out of their pelts and only remembers you hating animals

brings you a random animal just to see your reaction but when you take it and turn it into a rug he's surprised

If you tell him your backstory he will try not to bring animals around you anymore

you'll find little notes around his house that say 'no animals in or around house'

Shinobu

Thinks nothing of it

She doesn't like animals anyway so he wouldn't care what you do with them

your backstory furthers her hate for the little creatures

Mitsuri

Loves the product hates the process

if she ever say you kill an animal she'd probably cry

understands why you hate animals but can't bring herself to even dislike them enough even though you said it was alright

✿✼:*ﾟ:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟﾟ･**･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿　　

Hi I Can order the Hashiras with a S/o that has Scary Exotic animals like a Crocodile and a Hyena and that threatens to attack them If they do something to their bad With their Owner it would be a pretty cool scenario.

◡̈⋆ʜᴇʟʟᴏ(●’◡’●)ﾉ

✿✼:*ﾟ:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟﾟ･**･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿　　

Rengoku

He is either scared or curious. There is no inbetween

If you ask him to feed it he would

He would ask you to put em away if company is coming. Especially family

Tengen

He would find it flashy and unique

Makio, Hina, Suma would be scared tho

Let's say you have a 2 hyenas.

If you have a seperate house they stay there. If not, you have a room just for them.

When people come over they go in their room

You feed them with you s/os

Obanai

He wouldn't mind

I'm mean his best friend is a snake, of course he wouldn't mind

Helps you feed em if he sees you forgot or were too busy

Sanemi

Scared af but to prideful to admit it

"Does it bite?" "Yeah but he won't bite you."

No matter what animal it is if it gets too close he wants to fight it.

Him and a wild animal under the same roof was not a good idea

Giyuu

To scared to say he is scared

Any exotic animal

He sees the animal just chilling and walks in another direction

Watches as you feed it big portions of meat. He can't help but imagine it's a human limb.

Luckily you can tell and keep him away from any animal you have

Muichirou

Forgets that you had an exotic animal and just walks in to your house and nearly kills it everytime

Not scared but prefers not to go near it

Shinobu

Not an anime person

She wouldn't mind your animal but she would like tokito prefers if it was far away from her

Mitsuri

Scared and not afraid to show it

Hides behind you at the mere site of the animal

Would eventually warm up the it though

✿✼:*ﾟ:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟﾟ･**･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿　　

Hi I Can Ask for the Hashiras in Love for a S/o who has a Narcissistic and Arrogant Personality It would be an Interesting Scenario

Sorry this took so long. I hope you like it. I liked writing this, it was a change of pace˙˚ʚ(´◡`)ɞ˚˙

Rengoku

He loves you no matter what

If he feels you are out of line he will tell you

All in all he cares for you and your flaws don't matter to him

100/10

Tengen

He's used to chaos and you just add to it

Has no problem in you talking about herself but will not tolerate if you talk bad about others

I mean who isn't a little self-centered every now and then

He will change you this isn't you bby🥺

100/10

Sanemi

I feel like y'all wouldn't be to bad as a couple

You both can help each other work through problems

Although everyone sees you arguing at any given moment. They always wonder how you both got together if all you do is argue

aww/10

Obanai

"I don't think we're working out"

0/10

Giyuu

The kind of relationship that start out perfect but does a complete 180

But he looks past your flaws and loves you unconditionally

10/10

Shinobu

it seems like nothing bothers her

You can say/do anything you want and she doesn't care until in interferes with her job

I don't feel like this relationship will last long tho

It's like one of those relationships that you learn and grow from

5/10

Mitsuri

I feel so bad for her cause she wouldn't know what to do.

The both of you have skin care routines

while the relationship does look good on the outside sometimes you make some hurtful comments without realizing it and it reminds her of her past.

sadly she doesn't say anything to you about it and it ends with her torn about your relationship

2/10

Hi Can I Order An Angst Where The Hashira's Father Figure Is Very Sick And About To Die How Would They Deal With This Loss?

An: for the fathers I go with their occupation from other fics.

Mitsuri's ff is a Baker. Giyuu and Rengoku's is a retired hashira. Shinobu's is a doctor. Obanai, muichirou, sanemi and tengen are people from their past.

--------------

Rengoku

After retiring you had become bed ridden.

The mark took it's toll on you but that wasn't going to stop you from celebrating your last birthday.

You gather the rengoku's and had a small party. You wanted no one to cry, so they didn't.

After the party was over you went into your room for your final night. You wrote letters to everyone you knew saying goodbye.

Tengen

It started off as a small fever that unfortunately got worse.

It was constant ups and downs. Some days you could walk around others you were bedridden. You could barely lift a finger of those days.

Sanemi

He used to distance himself from you but when he heard you were sick he moved you to his house.

He spent everyday he could with you. He even got along with genya in front of you.

When you passed he drowned himself in work. Not stopping to breathe.

It was a sad sight to see.

Obanai

You were his rock. When he herd you were sick he couldn't believe it.

You who had helped him at his lowest.

Now it was his turn to help you.

He did the best he could till you suddenly died.

Once again he still couldn't believe it.

Gyomei

Being blind, gyomei couldn't see that you were sick but he knew that something was wrong.

You never told him cause you didn't want to worry him. That's how it became serious.

You did go to shinobu but your illness wasn't detectable in its early stages. By the time she knew what was wrong it was too late.

Muichirou

He tries to get you up and moving every day, and everyday you have to explain to him that your body it slowing down.

He knew but he wanted to act like he didn't. Everyday it was the same routine.

You told him, he would help in anyway he could then he would go on missions.

When you died he cried in private nearly everyday.

Your memory of his fading with each day.

Giyuu

This happened before giyuu became a hashira.

You were the hashira of (element) and you had gained a demon mark at the age of 20.

You told him he could be the next water hashira and to meet a teacher on top of a mountain.

He spent most his days with you.

On your 25th birthday he made you a cake.

He watch you stop breathing that night.

In the morning he set off towards the mountain.

Shinobu

She knew before you knew but that didn't change the fact that she couldn't help you.

She sat by your bed everyday just to talk.

It took a big toll on her focus, she constantly thought about your illness and how to help you.

In the end you told her there was nothing that could be done and to stop worrying over it.

You died peacefully in your sleep.

Mitsuri

She came back from a mission to your bakery being closed with a framed picture of you place neatly with flowers surrounding it.

She didn't know what to think.

One minute you were there to wish her well then when she came back you were gone.

She still went by your shop before every mission.

ok so how about the hashiras meeting male reader who's also a hashira and he is like short and fast with his weapons being daggers and the hashiras don't think much of him being childlike but when fighting demons his fast and deadly his personality still childlike but blood everywhere

😁

♛┈⛧┈┈•༶༶•┈┈⛧┈♛

Walking towards kagaya's estate you wore a smile taking in your new surroundings. You had just defeated a lower moon and were made into the newest hashira.

On your way to a hashira you were ready to meet the others.

When you arrived you got looks from everyone.

"Is he really the new hashira?" Tengen gave you a pointed look as you walked in front of them and bowed.

"Yes I am Y/n, the new (element) hashira it's nice to meet you all." You said raising from the bow with a smile.

"But your just a child how could yo-" tengen was cut off by Rengoku.

"Don't judge based on looks, my friend. Y/n has successfully defeated lower moon one. I should know, I had the chance to fight along side him when he was still a Kinoe."

He was lowkey scared of you but respected you nonetheless.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

At first tengen didn't know what to think off you. He knows your not an actual child but he can't help but treat you like one

Tengen liked your spark. You never lost your smile in battle, after taking heavy hits and just laughing them off.

You were like a miny him. Twins blades and all.

When it came time for you and him to have a mission together, you took the lead.

Fought the demon like you were playing a game.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

Shinobu has never seen you fight but she has patched you up after missions.

She heard from the lower ranks how terrifying you could be. They would describe in detail how you would smile while torturing demons until they beg you to kill them.

"Oh my~ How interesting."

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

You and Muichirou went on a lot of missions together.

Spending a lot of time around him, he gave you some of his attitude. You sit next to him during the hashira meetings.

When fighting

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

Sanemi is scary but not as scary as you.

You might not have many scars but you don't need any with your very unsettling act goes 100 when fighting. After killing the demons you turn around like nothing happened and go on about your day.

He likes the fact that you can scare demons away just by looking at him. the same way he can.

Poor genya tho, though he's not going to confront you but, he does see you and sanemi a lot.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

Obanai is wary of you. Mitsuri of course admired you.

The three of you went on a mission and you took care of it mainly by yourself losing your childlike personality while fighting.

Obanai was glad that you could kill demons without reading into the reasons why they were fighting.

Mitsuri on the other hand thought that you were very cute. Your mannerisms and how efficiently you took care of everything were very admirable to her.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

You and Giyuu barely talk. He keeps his opinions to himself most of the time.

Giyuu being the cool calm and collected person he is wasn't affected by your childish ways. He thought of it as you hold on to your innocence for as long as you could.

That changed when he saw you fight.

He liked having missions with you, they were a change of pace that he could get used to.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

Gyomei was another person not rattled by your nature.

He also wasn't surprised by the way you fight in fact he was impressed.

You often trained and meditated with him. Aside from muichirou, he was your favorite to be around.

♛┈⛧┈┈•༶༶•┈┈⛧┈♛

An: midterm week is finally over. For anyone else you had test all this week I hope you did well and if your about to take tests. Take your time and go with what ever feeling right.

Hi May I Ask For A Part 2 Of That Scenario, But This Time The Hashiras Where They Ignore Their Father, How Would They Handle Seeing Their Father Crying And Getting Hurt With Them.

An: for some fathers I go with their occupation from other fics.

Mitsuri's ff is a Baker. Giyuu and Rengoku's is a retired hashira. Shinobu's is a doctor. Obanai, muichirou, sanemi and tengen are people from their past.

♛┈⛧┈┈•༶༶•┈┈⛧┈♛

You promised yourself: on last mission with rengoku before you retire

And let me just say... It did not go as planned.

A village had been plaqued with a demon for over 2 years. Just walking around the place was depressing. Especially because it was your home village.

Everyone there was pale and extremely thin. They couldn't stand up for themselves even if they wanted to.

In the village there was an orphanage. 2 adults and 25 children, before the demon but now it's no adults and 7 children.

Most of the kids are under 5. It made you cry seeing your village in the state it was in.

You and kyojuro decided to stay in the orphanage to watch over the children

You couldn't sleep so you decided to walk a walk.

On your walk you couldn't stop the years from flowing. The village you grew up, that was once bursting with life and beauty, was now a land soiled with touch of a demon.

You cried walking past the houses of neighbors deep in thought when you were stuck with a needle in your neck.

Catching yourself as you turn around you quickly clutch your sword but you couldn't. You couldn't move. Why couldn't you move.

The needle. It was laced with poison.

"No need to worry, Y/n. I can take it from here!" Kyojuro's booming voice was heard out of your line of sight as you feel to the ground, passing out.

When you woke up you were laying in a hospital bed with kyojuro in the one next to you.

"Your both idiots."

You and tengen are very competitive

You don't cry but you do get hurt.... Alot

You maybe his father figure but your not to far from his age

Today tengen bet that you couldnt half the training that he does daily

Breathing exercises

Lifting bolders

Sit ups, push ups

And lastly a jog

You lasted way longer that Uzui thought you were going to. You were on the jog as the sun was setting.

(For anyone who has ran a 10k aka 6 miles without stopping, jogging or running the while time. It's exhausting)

"C'mon you can do it. Your almost there." Tengen cheered you on next to you. You shot him a dirty look.

All day he was doing his usual routine without breaking a sweat and teasing you on how you looked so out of breath.

"What that look for I'm trying to help you, old man." You were so tired you codnt even respond. You didn't even feel yourself fall.

When you came to you were in your bed at tengens house with Hina, Makio, and Suma surrounding you.

"You almost made it otosan, unfortunately you collapsed after flipping tengen off." Hina explained helping you sit up.

"Where is tengen?" You asked looking around the room. Hina and Suma looked flushed at the question, Makio on the other hand was mad.

"He was laughing to much, since he thought it was so funny I put him to work.

Sanemi was wreakless

This was common knowledge

Being his caretaker you put it in yourself to watch over him

He had just gotten back from a mission, when Gonna came to talk to him although he didn't have any injuries from the mission, he and genga got into a fight

Sanemi started the fight. You got punched in your face and stomach

You broke it up and sent genga home so you could talk to sanemi in private

"I don't want to see him die." Sanemi said quietly, butting back tears. He walked himself into a corner and sat there.

You clutched your stomach trying your best to walk over to him.

"I know sanemi but you don't have to be violent." You said patting him back.

You both sat there in silence for what felt like hours before he turned around to see you crying.

You were a stern man so seeing you cry was a shock. He hugged you.

You both cried in that corner until it was time to go to bed.

Today started as a peaceful day

You woke obanai for breakfast which you both ate together

You fed Kaburamaru

You spent some time out in the garden with obanai

On days like this it was pure bliss

Obanai took his bandages off

You didn't even know you were crying

"What's wrong? Is it my face?" He asked

"No no it's not you, it's just.... You were so young.

Being a doctor you had to make some pretty rough decisions.

A mother had come in ready for birth but the child was 2 months early, plus the mother had current health problems. Making this birth very painful for her and the child.

The mother begged you to save the child but the father wanted the mother to live.

This wasn't the first time you had dealt with this situation but it is the first time both the mother and the baby died.

The father didn't blame you. The father thanked you for trying your best before leaving.

Shinobu found you outside sitting on the wooden steps.

"Are you alright?" She asked, of course you weren't but asking out if courtesy couldn't hurt. You didn't reply and continued to stare into the distance.

"

As always she didn't mean to hurt you

She came to you crying because she has as mission that's far away and she wouldn't see you for a while.

It was the first time she called you father

It was enough to make a grown man cry

"PAPA!" She cried, running into your kitchen.

"What wrong mitsuri are you hurt." You said while you grabbed her face checking her for cuts. She pulled out of your grasp.

"No I'm fine. I just have a mission way farther than usual. I won't be back for a few months." She hugged you.

"Oh mitsuri." You sang "it's be alright. I'll be right here when you come back. I'll even make your favorites to go with you." You patted her head as she giggled and nodded.

You pushed her out, telling her to come back when she is about to leave.

Standing alone you thought about the interaction.

"She called me papa."

Rengoku x older brother reader

Short fic

Angst

♛┈⛧┈┈•༶༶•┈┈⛧┈♛

You weren't a hashira nor did you want to be but you were a swordsman.

You and rengoku did basically everything together including missions.

-------

After Emnu was defeated you helped people out from the rubble of the train while Rengoku was fighting another demon. Akaza. (RIP)

You weren't worried at first until you saw kyo's movements get sloppy. You tied to pay attention the people you were helping but you just couldn't.

Then you saw Akaza get close. You couldn't watch anymore.

You reached them just in time to take the blow to the stomach for him.

"Y/n" he said in disbelief.

"What are you standing there for. Your a demon slayer aren't you." You said through your teeth doing you best to hold him in place.

Rengoku hesitated for a second before going around you and raising his sword to akaza's neck but akaza's free hand blocked the sword.

The sun was coming up.

In desperation akaza severed his arm, pushed Rengoku back and fled into the forest.

Rengoku didn't go after him, he was to busy having his last conversation with you.

♛┈⛧┈┈•༶༶•┈┈⛧┈♛

A/n: if anyone is good with naming things can you help me make names for my first that don't have one. I'm struggling 😭

what if the hashiras meeting a Reader who's a special half demon his mother was turned but died during childbirth and Reader gained all the powers of a demon with none of the weaknesses and now he hunts demons

So sorry for the wait. I have not forgotten about the other requests but I did forget they were on this account so that's my bad😔.

♛┈⛧┈┈•༶༶•┈┈⛧┈♛

You walked the earth as a normal human. The sunlight didn't effect you, the need for human flesh didn't either, but your eyes we're a dead giveaway.

They shine with a (e/c) gleam that screamed 'demon'.

You grew up in a house with your father. He was a demon but he never acted like one aside from the need for blood. The village saw your father as dangerous but you were just a child in their eyes.

On night you father lost all humanity he had and massacred most of the village. You had never seen an actual demon but seeing your father, you started to grasp why everyone was so weary of him.

You watched as they killed him. He reached out for you but you just stood there. Watching with tears in your eyes.

The few that survived decided it was better if you left. They didn't want to to take the chance of you turning too.

'Being alone isn't so bad' you lied to yourself. It was torture, you took your emotions out on every demon you saw. Weather it be anger, sadness, jealousy, it didn't matter.

'We should've killed you when found out what you were'

'Your a monster'

'You never belonged here'

Their voices haunted you, but you couldn't blame them. They were scared. You were too.

You never wanted to be a demon, so you did everything in your power to act human.

Unfortunately you were found out by the butterfly hashira when a lower rank saw you take a heavy hit.

She was pleasant to be around even when she knew you were a demon. When she confronted you about it you told her everything you knew about your demon counterpart.

Your blood demon art.

First Phase: Pain killer (passive)

it allows anyone or any demon around you to feel the pain what you feel until your pain stops. It activates whe

Second Phase: breaking point (active)

While your aponent is in pain and you've regenerated you can absorb their energy and use it against them. If they are demons you can copy their demon art, if they are slayers you can copy their style if you use a sword.

You agreed to tell the rest if the hashira.

-------

You were escorted by a kokushi to be put on trail for your life.

"Are you sure it's a demon. It can stay in the sun without consequence." A slayer sitting high in a tree with a snake said as you arrived with the kokushi.

"Yes sir, he can regenerate and doesn't die from normal attacks on him." The kokushi bowed to them. "But his-" they weren't able to finish as you were grabbed away very roughly by the wind hashira.

He held you by your hair and put his sword to your throat.

"Let's see it.” 

“WAIT DON’T-” You screamed as he cut your head off. They all watch as your head disintegrates and your body falls lifeless. 

After a few minutes your body starts to regenerate, excruciating sounds similar to screaming can be heard for miles as your blood demon art activates. 

The first to be affected by it was Mitsuri and Tengen, they both cover their ears in pain, soon the rest follows. The pain was similar to getting your head ripped off nerve by nerve.

The sound doesn’t effect Kyojuro as much as the other seeing as he busted his eardrums but even with busted eardrums he felt the pain.

when your head was fully regenerated the sound stopped and you panted with your head down in exhaustion. Looking up from the ground you see the hashira with their hand still covering their ears. You didn’t even notice Kagaya and his children sit on the engawa completely unbothered by what happened.

“My children what has happened.” He said. 

'It didn't effect them?' you thought to yourself.

“I’m sorry sir I tried to warn master sanemi about Y/n’s blood demon art." The kokushi bowed many times to master kagaya.

"It's fine, I hope everyone wasn't hurt to badly." He replied looking up at the hashira gripping their head except for Kyojuro.

"WE ARE FINE MASTER." He said enthusiastically making the other groan.

"Please don't yell Kyo, if you couldn't tell the rest of us are in pain." Tengen groaned. Kyojuro chuckled while patting his back over mitsuri's head.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to cause any trouble." The kokushi helped you up while you talked.

"You didn't. Sanemi is a wild card, you couldn't have known what he was going to do. Now to the problem at hand. What are we going to do with Y/n." He said with his usual smile even though it's a grim topic. "Y/n what is your story."

"I lived in a village until it was attacked by demons. The villager thought it was my fault and kicked me out. I've killed every demon I've come across, I'll never kill or eat humans. My father taught me my morals." You said looking kagaya in the eye.

"Seeing as one demon is among us with no problem I don't see why we can't accept another, especially one who doesn't seem to want to hurt us!" Rengoku exclaimed not as loud this time but still loud enough to make tengen shudder. By now tengen was the only one still in pain.

"A demon is a demon soon enough it will have to eat, who knows who it'll kill." The snake hashira said. You hated the way he refered to you as it instead of a person.

"Well we've seen a demon who is capable of protecting others, I just want to keep a close eye on him." Shinobu said. After she said that it was a moment of pregnant silence before someone decided to speak again.

"I'll vouch for him. I believe we could learn from him. He's half human after all." Shinobu said with a raised hand. Everyone was shocked. "He stayed at the butterfly estate for 2 weeks and hasn't shown any signs of demon tendencies. In fact he was been a wonderful guest." She said smiling to you.

"Well then does any one object to shinobu monitoring Y/n." Nobody said anything. "Hmm, Y/n will be under the watchful of shinobu."

You life is now in shinobu's hands.

-----------

Life with Shinobu was like a breath of fresh air. She taught you how to wield a sword properly, how to treat wound, and how to make medicine and poison.

Now you were an official demon slayer.

Hi Can I ask for the Hashiras still children being adopted, at first they don't They liked the male reader, but after a while he starts to like the reader after seeing how much the reader cares about them. Please!!

Hate to admit it but I almost always forget giyuu

Requests are open again

I'm sorry for the wait

------

Muichirou

Straight up tells you to go away

Doesn't care about your feelings

curses at you

his twin however is the sweetest little thing

Tries to keep muichirou in check too

Tbh I don't think he'll ever like you

Kinda like a child you follows whatever you do but if you bring it up you he will go feral trying to probe you wrong

Sanemi

Epitome of the term 'ankle bitter'

Extremely protective of Genya

Once you got close you had a forever loyal guard dog

On day Genya had ran to you screaming about his scraped arms and legs

Seeing how you took care of his little brother made him change his adittude

Although he never admitted it

Shinobu

Very passive aggressive

serious side eye

Like tanjiro you could tell he faked what he was feeling

That's when her adittude toward you changed

Now she made sure you knew she was mad😀

Tengen

Likes you from the start

calls you ever name in the book

But ultimately views you better than his actual father

The sass never leaves

I can only imagine you and tengen out side ruff housing as 'training' to go inside for a delicious snack

Obanai

Has his snake to make sure you never get close.

Him and Kaburamaru are never apart

You warmed up to Kaburamaru first

Sneaking him food when Obanai was asleep

On day Obanai couldn't find Kaburamaru

When he found him he was in your lap

Instead of being mad that Kaburamaru went to you he thought maybe you weren't as bad as he thought

Animals have surperior senses

Rengoku

he's too pure to be mean or outright say he doesn't like you but he is very blunt

"I do not you so please stay away from me and my brother"

Kids are brutal (#1 reason why I don't like some kids)

Once he realized

Mitsuri

Politely but very obviously tries to not be around you

You just chalk it up to her being shy

Very quick to warm up to you

When you 2 finally got along she helped you do anything and everything even if you told her no

Giyuu

Quiet kid

Wants to be close to you but doesn't want to be

Quickly warms up to you

Sees how kind you are as a person and it goes on from there

Treats you like your his real dad and you vice versa

hello my love, I hope you're feeling okay and healthy ❤️ I would like to request something for kny, like a former hashira s/o that became mentally ill after a failed mission against one of the upper ranks, how the hashiras would react to it? If you're ok with this ofc, thank you ❤️

More angst🥲

Sorry for the wait

-----

Shinobu

She was surprised when you came in on a stretcher with the girls trying to get you stable.

Shinobu wanted to know what happened but never got a full answer as you struggled to tell the full story.

You had brain damage.

Like muichirou you forgot a lot of things. It got on shinobu's nerves to no end but she would never let you know that. As usual she would smile and help you remember anything you forgot.

You worsened throughout the years.

Mitsuri

Absolutely heart broken. She had no idea what to do, she always went to shinobu to help.

You had a fractured skull and a piece of your skull was lodged into your brain until shinobu removed it.

She helped you learn how to walk, talk, and eat properly again.

She loved you with every fiber of her being and nothing would change that.

Giyuu

When Shinobu came to him completely serious he knew something was wrong.

You were never the same. They were moments when you would stare off into place losing all since of reality.

In moments like this you would almost look dead, if he tried to snap you out of it you would have severe panic attacks.

Giyuu didn't know how to react. He was obviously sad but he couldn't just focus on himself, he had to be there for you.

Tengen

after the incident Hina, Makio, and Suma was always at your side. They felt like they were partly to blame cause they were there when it happened.

Thankfully nothing too bad just things like flashback or flinching at loud noises and sudden moves.

Uzui acted like nothing changed, he made you feel normal.

Rengoku

When you came back from the butterfly estate after a failed mission all you did was stare into the distance.

Rengoku laid off a couple missions to be with you but you didn't even acknowledge that he was there.

Barely spoke. Never smiled. Dead eyes.

He broke down in front of you once. All you cod do was rub his back and try to smile. It just made him cry more.

Sanemi

When you came back from your 6 month mission you always dropped the subject on what happened and said something like "it went well" or "not much happened I promised. It was barely a success.

But ever since the mission he noticed weird things you do like, flinch whenever he yells, hits something, staying up some nights saying "demons might be near", and training is out of the question. Along with a bunch of other habits that you started after the mission

You obviously had PTSD and he didn't let you go undiagnosed. Under the direction of shinobu he adapted to your habits andade you as comfortable as possible.

Hi I can order a Hc for Father's Day, for the Hashiras, how would they celebrate this date with their father?

An: for some fathers I go with their occupation from other fics.

Mitsuri's ff is a Baker.

Giyuu and Rengoku's is a retired hashira.

Shinobu's is a doctor.

Obanai, muichirou, sanemi and tengen are people from their past.

--------------

Obanai

Doesn't know what you'll like so he gets you food that mitsuri suggested

Kaburamaru stays around your neck all day

You also get a super rare hug

It lasts for about 30 seconds before he pulls away

Although he doesn't show it he really care

Muichirou

He forgot.

Which you didn't mind cause he was really sorry about it.

You both go out to eat a day after fathers day

Something is always better than nothing

On the chance that he does remember your so proud of him

Mitsuri

Tries to bake for you

You end up helping her bake

Turns into a tradition

You both bake together then eat it

Sometimes rengoku comes with a gift

Shinobu

Gets you to take break from work (for less than a day cause you won't allow it for to long)

Gets Aoi, kanae and the girls to get you a gift

You don't care what it is because you'll like it anyway

Probably one of the only times she's called you dad

Makes your heart melt

Tengen

Him and his wives prepare a big feast

"A flamboyant dinner for a flamboyant father" in his words

You are spoiled

Fathers day is more of a fathers weekend

Brings out his finest sake

Giyuu

He cleans/sharpens your now dull blade

If there is anything you want, you don't even have to ask cause he already has it

He's not the best with talking (An: me neither bud🥲) but his actions speak louder than words

Rengoku

The Rengoku's and you would be sat around a table eating, drinking(not Senjuro of course), and just talking

It was a bit awkward at first

But year after year it got more comfortable

Sanemi

Might be the one day when genya and sanemi are getting along

They both do whatever you ask with little to no back talk

They both cook while you try and keep the kitchen clean

Your proud of them for trying to do something together for fathers day (even if it turned into a disaster) and you make sure they know it

----------

2/6

Hi I wanted to ask if you could write about the hashiras meeting Male Reader who's the ghost rider specifically the samurai ghost Rider from the newest comic please

Hope you like it.

Mitsuri

Mitsuri was out on a mission when she saw blue flames in the grass forming a trail and decided to follow it.

It led to a clearing in the forest. In the middle of it was a man in traditional samurai attire. Mitsuri

He had just finished off a demon and was in the middle of sheathing his sword when he turned in Mitsuri's direction.

Mitsuri cowarded behind a tree.

"No need to be afraid I'm here to help." You said extending your hand to her. She started to come out from behind the tree.

*crack* a tree branch broke behind her causing to look. It was nothing but when she turned back to you, you were gone without a trace.

Rengoku

Rengoku was training when he saw you run by leaving a trail of blue fire behind you.

He ran after you. Noticing him trail sing you stopped and turned to him.

"I can sense you are a slayer of great strength, hurry there are demons ahead." You said as you started running again with him now near your side.

When you both reached your destination Rengoku immediately got to work on the demons terrorizing the town.

When he saw no more demons left he tried looking for you in vain.

Giyuu

You scared the fuck outta him when you appeared outta nowhere to kill a demon.

"Who are you." He didn't mean from it to come out so rude but you took no offence.

"I am a samurai ghost rider. I'm here to vanquish demons and nothing more. I'll be on my way now." You said sheathing your sword and walking away not waiting for a response.

Giyuu stood there in shock watching you walk away. 🧍‍♂️

Tengen

Tengen had heard stories of a Samurai killing demons in villages but didn't believe it. At first at least.

When he was almost home from a mission he saw you in the corner of his eye walking by with blue fire trailing you.

When you two made eye contact he waved yelling about how flamboyant you looked

Obanai

Much to his surprise you came out of no where and killed the demon he was fighting without a problem.

He stood back and watched as you killed every demon that dared to face you.

When you were finished you looked at him and he looked at you.

It was like a staring contest until he blinked first. When he opened his eyes you were gone.

Muichirou

When he first saw you he thought his eyes his eyes playing tricks on him. A man with the skull for a head on fire doesn't seem possible even in a world full of demons.

He tried his best to avoid you at all costs and you didn't want to bother him.

Sanemi

He was chasing after a demon.

So were you.

It just so happened to be that the demon he was chasing was the same one you were.

You killed the demon first. Sanemi was beyond pissed. He tried to kill you cause you looked like a demon.
