"You dumbass..."

Death wasn't kind. (Y/N) knew that. It snatched where it could, taking people who were far too young, far too good.

She held him in her fragile arms, staring at his pale face. "You broke your promise..." She mustered out weakly.

Tears stained her cheeks as she whispered an 'I love you'.

She never wanted to see him die, she wanted him to stay by her side, just like he promised to.

Placing her lover neatly on the ground she stood up.

"I can't forgive you...for breaking your promise."

It was great while it lasted, great to be loved, the warmth of his cheek next to hers. His soft hand brushing her hair from her face, his cheeky laugh in her ear. It all seemed too good to be true, she took it for granted.

And It led her to this...

--

"Hey~ Are you okay?"

Snapping back into reality she looked up, her eyes widened "Naozumi...?" (Y/N) Whispered.

"No, It's Tanjiro." He sent a sad smile her way, as he sat next to her. She smirked, "Right..."

"I've brought you something!" He stated cheerfully.

She looked at his wounded hands, he was holding a white rose. "A white rose?" She questioned the younger boy.

"Ah~ look, this is for you~" A cheerful voice rang through her ears, "A white rose? Naozumi you shouldn't have!" (Y/N) Smiled brightly, kissing his cheek.

"I-It's okay if you don't want it, I-I just thought It'd cheer you up!" The flustered boy blurted out.

As she saw the white flower in his hands, her eyes glimmered with watery tears.

Tanjiro noticed her tears and quickly stood up, "W-What's wrong? You don't h-have to accept it!" He kept on stuttering, as the flower fell from his hands. (Y/N) Caught the herb, with eyes still full of water.

"It's beautiful, thank you, Tanjiro." She wiped her tears away and gestured him to sit back down.

Hesitantly, Tanjiro sat back down - still unsure of what just happened. "Don't mind me, you just reminded me of Naozumi, Is all." The girl spoke peacefully.

"Oh, I'm sorry...I should've known better."

"No! No! It's alright. I appreciate It."

Tanjiro gave her a smile that just seemed so genuinely sweet with just the right touch of modesty and warmth.

(Y/N) chuckled softly at the boy, "You're a lot like him, Tanji!~". Stretching out the word 'Tanji', she spoke.

Tanjiro looked at the pillar in confusion, "How so?"

The girl only beamed at him, leaving him with no response.

Ever since their conversation, he promised himself to make her fall in love with him. He's always liked her, ever since their first encounter in his hometown. At that time he didn't know she was a demon slayer, or that demons even existed. All he knew was that she's the one he's been looking for.

But as years went by - she got herself a companion, a lover.

Tanjiro would be lying if he said that his blood didn't boil with jealousy, of course, it did. He's liked her for years, but Naozumi stole her from him.

All he could do was cheer for them. At least she was happy, no?

He's not perfect, but Tanjiro would follow her into hell if that's what it took to keep her safe.

That being said, right now, he's buying a light blue kimono for her. "Thank you so much!" He thanked the stall keeper, as he left with the bag in hand.

The girl lived on a mountain, the path to it was wide, slowly getting narrower as you approach the top of the mountain.

Soon enough he reached the top, the first thing he saw was her swinging her sword, by the look of her face, it might've been the eight thousand swing.

"(Y/N)!" He called out for the girl, a big smile covering his face.

"Tanjiro...What are you doing here?" Her tone's casual and light.

Placing her nichirin sword in its rightful place, she walks up to the boy. "I got you something!" he joyfully exclaims, shoving the bag into her chest.

(Y/N) looks at the boy in shock, 'another gift?' she thought to herself, taking the bag from his hands.

He scratched the back of his neck, "I hope you like it!"

The older woman takes the kimono out of the bag, inspecting it carefully. Words left her. She stared at the blue kimono with eyes glazed by yearning.

"So, what do you think?" He asked. But she couldn't will her lips to move. As if stuck underwater, everything was dull and warbled as she felt the kimono lightly.

(Y/N)'s lips quivered "H-How did you...?"

"Oh~ (N/N). You look stunning in it! I do have great taste do I not?" Naozumi chuckled cockily. As the girl spun around in her new light blue kimono.

Tanjiro tilted his head in puzzlement, "(Y/N)...?"

The girl brought the kimono to her chest, whispering a low 'thank you'.

"You two are indeed very similar, but also...Very different."

The boy smiled brightly. "How so?" He asked the same question once again.

She sighed, looking him in the eyes, "You both are different from the rest. That's what makes you two special. I'm glad." She returned the smile.

"Well then, I'll see you at the headquarters." She beamed happily, with a vibrant blush on her face.

"Y-Yeah! See you."

First of all, thank you so so much!

Second of all; My favorite character is Dazai Osamu from Bungo stray dogs.

My favorite ships; Viktor Nikiforov x Yuri, Dazai x Chuuya, Kuro Sakuragawa x Kotoko Iwanga.

If we're talking about which character I like the most, in general, it's Dazai Osamu (as mentioned earlier). But if we're talking about my favorite character from kny it's either Giyu or Sabito.

For ships; I don't really ship anybody from kny, but if I had to choose it'd be Giyu x Shinobu.

I got into Demon Slayer when it first came out. But I got into the story itself from the very first episode lol.

I get them from Google!

Thank you so much~

I got inspired by the many books I've read. And slowly I got ideas for scenarios and stuff, that's when I started writing.
