I’m so awesome. Urokodaki finally acknowledged me!

As Urokodaki leads you and Tanjiro inside his humble abode, you can’t help but wonder what happens next.

"The demon-slaying corps... Their numbers are around a few hundred. An organization that is not acknowledged by the government. However, they still exist and continue to kill demons. Nobody knows who is leading this band of demon hunters... Still shrouded in mystery. Demon. Their main source of food, humans. They kill humans and then consume their flesh with no regrets. When they were first born or where they came from is still unknown. They have powerful physical abilities and even when injured, they can immediately heal themselves."

Wow, this is a lot of talking...

"Body parts hacked off will still have some sort of connection and they can grow completely new arms and legs. There also exist demons that have the incredible ability to change their body structure. If one does not use a blade of special quality, even after chopping the demon's head off, the demon will not die. The demon-slaying corps fight the demons with their mortal flesh and blood. Due to them being human their injuries recover slow and their lost limbs will never regrow. Even so, they still fight the demons for humanity..."

Urokodaki continues speaking, which you assume he’s giving Tanjiro and perhaps you too, information about what demon slayers are and all that jazz.

"I am a cultivator. Like the word describes, I cultivate swordsmen. There are a lot of cultivators who train swordsmen with a variety of techniques in a variety of places. If one wants to enter the demon-slaying corps then they must first survive in the final selection on Fujikasaneyama. I get to decide whether you two participate or not."

Hm, nice.

➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶

After being accepted as Urokodaki's student, you took it upon yourself to learn how to understand and speak Japanese alongside your swordsmanship training.

Every day you would descend the mountain with Tanjiro, slowly learning how to avoid the traps placed alongside the path. Both you and Tanjiro were seeing a significant increase in your stamina. But as the days went on the difficulty of the traps increased, making them far more dangerous. 

Sometimes I wonder if Urokodaki secretly wants to kill us...

Once the two of you finally got the hang of going down the mountain, Urokodaki handed both Tanjiro and yourself a sword and ordered you to descend the mountain with it in hand. "We've been promoted Tanjiro! Now it's time for actual hell! Yay!" You give Tanjiro a very sarcastic cheer and Tanjiro gives you a concerned look. 

"Are you alright? Your scent is telling me you're worried... Are you nervous?",

"Listen Tanjiro, I still have no idea what you're saying so I'mma just say yes."

Mmm, we love barely understanding each other.

Before setting off you approach Urokodaki, "Hey Urokodaki-sensei, don't you think we look pretty cool?" He gives you a blank stare and pats your head.

You’ve fallen for my trap Urokodaki. I will now think of you as a father.

With sword in hand, both you and Tanjiro did unsurprisingly terribly, which took you both back to square one with the traps.

Rip the progress Tanjiro and I made up until now.

After an epic failure of a training day, you plop your behind down beside Tanjiro with a notebook in hand that Urokodaki had provided you. You ask Tanjiro what certain things were called since your memory was lacking in the Japanese department.

You were getting a hang of a couple of basic things, and with your recollection of your lessons with your reliable pal, Duolingo, your progress was small but just enough for Tanjiro to be extremely proud of you. "Wow! Your Japanese is improving so much [Y/N]!" A proud grin grows on your face as you say, "Hell yeah it is!"

I will do anything to protect his smile.

You continue practicing your speech, with Tanjiro occasionally correcting your mistakes. As thanks for helping you with your Japanese, you took it upon yourself to also teach Tanjiro some English, just so it’d be easier for the two of you to interact efficiently.

I wonder if teaching him English will fuck up some things in the future... Eh, I'll deal with it later... Maybe...

Right after your little moment with Tanjiro, Urokodaki came to remind you of your failure by having you and Tanjiro swing your swords to get used to handling them. 

You know what? These heavy-ass swords were meant to be held by my glorious self. 

Urokodaki drilled into your head how important form was, and how easily a sword could break if not handled correctly. He might have also threatened to snap your bones if you had broken the sword... But what do you know?

I'm just gonna pretend I didn't understand any of that.

➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶

Today Urokodaki had you and Tanjiro attack him at the same time to try and hit him. Tanjiro was very hesitant at first, not wanting to cause harm to his trainer. You on the other hand, however...

I'LL SHOW YOU, YOU OLD MAN!

In the end, it didn't really matter since he threw you both to the ground in an instant.

Urokodaki's strong as shit, what the fuck, nobody told me he was THIS superhuman. Not even my launches at him worked...

Forcing yourself off the ground, although your body begged you to rest, you ran full speed towards Urokodaki with your sword held over your head.

Before you had time to react, Urokodaki had grabbed the collar of your kimono and flung you towards Tanjiro on the ground. "Oof-" Unfortunately landing on top of him, Tanjiro let out a pained gasp. 

"I'm so sorry Tanjiro!" Scrambling to get off of the poor boy you roll to the side of him and use your arms to lean over him. "Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!" He gives you a small grin responding with an "okay".

“Okay”? But I just flattened his poor body like a pancake.

You tilt your head to the right, displaying your visible confusion.

What is he talking about? No, no, no! Definitely not okay!

"It's not okay Tanjiro! I injured my sweet boy!" You say with a guilty frown.

Tanjiro merely looks up and lets out a chuckle.

➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶

Today Urokodaki had you practice breathing and taught you how to do the correct forms.

Alright, so I’m making some progress at least! 

Though Urokodaki began to constantly punch both you and Tanjiro in the stomach for not "putting in strength towards your abdomen", Tanjiro sloppily continued to translate for you.

Tanjiro's learning a whole new language faster than me.

With a content smile, you think back over your progress since you and Tanjiro have begun training. It's been six months since you arrived in this world and met your little "family", but it's also been six months since Nezuko had gone into her mini-coma.

I know she ends up being okay, but Tanjiro doesn't. And I can't just tell him, "Nah, you don't have to worry, she'll wake up after we head off to the final selection!". He’d just question me... 

You sit next to Tanjiro as he places a hand on his younger sister's forehead, your eyes beginning to soften... 

It does suck knowing she's gonna be like this for another year and a half, I wish I got to interact with her more before this happened...

➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶

Urokodaki once again increased the difficulty of your shared training with Tanjiro as if it wasn’t enough torture already. The old, but badass man had you descend the mountain from areas far more dangerous than the initial place he had taken you all those months ago.

Man, I wish we had just stuck to that old place. At the very least I knew what to expect...

The lack of oxygen in the area made it far more difficult to traverse, but somehow the two of you were able to manage without too many injuries.

"Man, Tanjiro! That was pretty hard huh? I felt like I was gonna die." With a nod of his head, he gave a tired reply "We still made it! I'm proud of both of us!" 

His hair's gotten a bit longer, I bet he can put it in a really short ponytail now. Well, maybe not, some of his hair might not fit in it at all.

➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶

"I have nothing left to teach you." Urokodaki's sudden statement towards you and Tanjiro had startled you.

Holy shit, really?

A year after your arrival, you had finally finished the necessary training to be eligible for the final selection. Conscious in your mind was the fact that the actual hard part is awaiting you ahead.

I still have to break a big ass boulder after this.

"From now on the two of you will need to prove yourselves. Improve upon all the basics of which I have taught you." He beckons you to follow him up the mountain, taking you toward the detested boulder.

"If you can hack this boulder in half, I will allow you to join the final selection." Staring up at it, (yes you actually had to crane your head to look at it) you glare at the boulder before you.

I hate this shit already. At this rate, I'm never going to catch a break from this old man.

"[Y/N]" Urokodaki suddenly calls, which interrupts your thoughts, "Huh?", Urokodaki walks away without another word. "Dang it!" You give Tanjiro a quick hug, a determined smile on your face, "Good luck! You're absolutely gonna need it!"

Turning your back towards him, you miss the adoring smile on his face. "You too, [Y/N]!", he calls out enthusiastically. Forcing your legs to move you faster, you quickly make your way toward the direction Urokodaki was headed, "Urokodaki, you walk way too fast! Could you ever find it in your kindred soul to give a mere student a nice 5-hour break...hehe.. please?" 

All that leaves your teacher is a grunt as he stands in place. "Huh? Why'd you stop?" Little did he know that you were THIS close to face planting to the ground. Hesitating to walk out from behind him, you find a boulder of a similar size to Tanjiro's in front of you.

Ahh, so here's my worst enemy.

"You will be doing the same as Tanjiro." He gives you a head pat before heading back down the mountain towards his home.

Well, that's that then. Big rip to me. The old man didn't even bother saying "good luck". Eh, not like I need it. I'm pretty awesome and I will *definitely* collapse on the floor right after this. 

➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶

Both you and Tanjiro continue your rigorous training after Urokodaki declared he was only letting you go to the final selection if you break the stupid boulders. Luckily for both of you, Tanjiro had been keeping tabs on your training in a notebook Urokodaki had given him. You spent your days continuously practicing what you had learned.

After a long day of improving your skills, you both sat against the boulder that Tanjiro had tirelessly worked to slice in half.

"Hey, Tanjiro." Your companion turns his head to look at you properly, "Yes, [Y/N]?" Taking your attention off the pebbles in front of you, you give him a sheepish smile, "I don't think I want to use the water forms as a demon slayer. I think I might want to make my own breath form..." 

His body becomes a bit more rigid as his head snaps to look at you, "Really?"

Becoming more nervous as the seconds pass, you release an awkward laugh. "Uh, yeah... I've been wanting to tell Urokodaki-sensei for a while now, but... I don't want to disappoint him." 

"Disappoint him? What do you mean? How could you disappoint Urokodaki-sensei?" Tanjiro's left eyebrow arches up, giving him a perplexed expression. "Well, cause, he, he spent so much time training me on how to use the breath of water forms, but in the end, I ended up wasting his time because I don't want to use those forms." You lightly bang the back of your head against the boulder, "This ain't the first time, but I feel like a failure..." Tanjiro's hands quickly make their way to your shoulders as he gives you a stern look.

Oh shit, did I fuck up? Did I make him mad? Please tell me I didn't upset him!

"[Y/N]. Urokodaki-sensei won't be disappointed in you. In fact, I'm sure he'll be super proud of you for coming up with your own breath style! Besides, even if he isn't, I'm proud of you for wanting to do your own thing!"

After you hide behind your hands out of embarrassment (cause damn it not everyone blushes “a bright red”), Tanjiro's arm wraps around you in a side hug. "If you aren't going to use the breath of water, what breath are you going to be using?"

You don't answer and Tanjiro gives you a questioning glance.

Oh shit, I actually have no idea.

"About that... I have no idea yet..."

"Oh. Well, that's okay! I'm sure you'll figure it out eventually. Oh, and if you need help, I could always help you! Or we could ask Urokodaki-sensei for some tips." Tanjiro gives you another warm smile, and you give your own awkward one in return.

Ah, how can you be so nice to me? Especially towards someone like me!

"Tanjiro... You really are too kind sometimes... But, I can't accept your help."

"Wait, why not?" His arm leaves your side as he instead ops to hold onto your hands. "Well, 'cause, 'cause you still have your own training to do. If you help me, you won't be able to focus on perfecting your own skills. I don't want to take away any of your time and prevent you from being the best you can be."

If I do that, you might end up dying in the final selection. If that happens, everything will be fucked and then I'll never forgive myself-

"No, I don't mind, really! Besides, fighting against someone with a different breath style could help me even more. It'll be like a new training exercise." You sigh through your nose, "Fine, but our main focus is going to be to slice those rocks, then help me make my breath style."

"Okay!"

➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶

After another half year of trying to slice the boulders and attempting to create your own breath style, you noticed how anxious Tanjiro had become. You were once again resting on the ground, but instead of leaning against the boulder, you were facing Tanjiro with your back against a tree.

He's been going at it for a couple of hours now. I feel kinda bad...

"Hey, Tanjiro, you should take a break." 

Not hearing you, or ignoring you, he continues to assault the boulder in front of you, his breathing heavy as he becomes more frustrated. "I need to work harder! WORK HARDER!" His yelling startles you as he slams his head against the boulder.

HOLY SHIT, HOW DID THAT NOT HURT HIM?

"Shut up!"

A new voice interrupts Tanjiro's pity session, "Such a shameful display of a man shouting nonsense." Your eyes brighten up as both you and Tanjiro look up at the boulder to find your favorite peach-haired boy sitting on top.

OH MY GOD, IT'S SABITO! I CAN'T BELIEVE HE'S FINALLY HERE! I'M GONNA DIE! I'M SORRY TANJIRO BUT I'VE FOUND MY NEW HUSBAND, BYE!

"No matter how difficult and painful it may be, you shut your mouth and deal with it. If you call yourself a man," He rises to his feet, "If you are a true man," He jumps off the boulder, drawing his wooden sword and attacking Tanjiro. With little time to counter, Tanjiro struggles against Sabito, using the handle of the sword to block his attack. Using this as an opportunity, Sabito delivers a strong kick, sending Tanjiro falling to the ground. 

HE'S SO COOL AND STRONG, WHAT THE HELL.

Your companion lets out a strained gasp, "Slow, weak, rusty, your state is not a man by any definition." Sabito stands in place, not breaking a single sweat. Although you were slightly concerned for Tanjiro, your feelings of fangirling over the masked male overshadowed the worry.

He's really here! Ahh, hold on, lemme propose real quick.

Sample for New BNHA Story

CW/TW: Mentions of suicide

A/N: This has an abrupt ending (I didn't feel like continuing). This is something I've been thinking about for months so I decided to just write it. Not sure if this has been done before, so if it has... whoops?

Btw let me know if you wanna see more of this :D

You didn't know how to feel, or how to think at the moment. It was as if your whole body just shut down at the sight of your best friend, no, that wasn't your friend anymore was it, the villain in front of you.

He was laughing manically like someone had just told him the funniest joke he's ever heard. Normally his laugh would bring you comfort. His laugh would have brought so much warmth to your chest as you stared at his face with a grin of your own.

But this wasn't normal. Nothing about this was normal.

Right in front of you was your best friend who you thought was dead. Your mind flashed to the image of his broken body, sprawled across the cold concrete after he had jumped off your old middle school's rooftop. The image of his still alive body groaning in pain even after he hit the floor. Your screams of agony and loss as you tried to reach him, Bakugo and his "friends" holding you back, shock and fear-ridden across their faces.

No, he had to be dead. There was no way he was alive. He literally committed suicide right in front of your eyes. So why? Why is he here? Why is he with the villains? With All for One?

You felt Bakugo's arms wrap around you, preventing you from falling to the ground. You both stared in shock as Midoriya Izuku, your best friend, stood, alive and well, laughing at the expressions you both were making.

"Ah, Kacchan! [Y/N]chan! It's really good to see you both! It's been a few months, hasn't it? You both go to UA now, right? That's great! I knew you could do it!"

So here you were, lying in bed sulking over the Demon Slayer ending. It sucked knowing that Gotouge had to rush the ending of the series but hey you were glad that at least there even was an ending. "Ahhh this is so sad... I'm gonna miss reading new chapters every week." Burying yourself deeper in your blankets effectively creating a makeshift cocoon, you're lulled to sleep by the Demon Slayer soundtrack quietly playing on the phone that was placed on the side of your bed. 

I wish I could meet everyone from Demon Slayer, I'd do everything I could to save them from dying...

➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶

Finding yourself shivering due to the cold, you awaken to find that your blankets were missing, and more importantly, you were on the snow-covered floor of a forest.

Okay, what the fuck?

You wrap your arms around your torso resulting in futile attempts to preserve your body heat.

God, it's so fucking cold.

Squinting your eyes a bit to try and take in your surroundings, you push your back against a nearby tree for a small sense of security. You were afraid. I mean, who wouldn't be? Waking up in the middle of the forest with hardly any clothes while it was snowing would be pretty frightening for anyone to experience.

Where the fuck am I? Why is it snowing? It wasn't snowing at home, was it? It's still dark... Wait, where's my phone?"

Frantically, you try to search the area around you, although it was quite difficult since there was snow everywhere and the moon barely shone from behind the thick clouds. You eventually decide to give up, clutching your freezing hands in a pathetic effort to warm them up again. 

God damn it, I don't even have my phone with me. Where the hell even am I? How the fuck did I get here? How do I get back home? Should I stay here or go look for help? I don't wanna die in the woods ahhhhh-

Deciding it was best to find help as soon as possible to avoid freezing to death, you venture out in the direction you hope leads you out of the woods.

➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶

After walking through the woods for a couple of hours, you can finally make out the sun's warm rays slowly rising into the sky from behind a neighboring mountain. With the sun now out, the snow around you begins to melt ever so slightly. 

Finally the sun! Oh, how I missed you so much, you beautiful ball of flames!

Stumbling out onto a dirt road, you look around for any trace of another person. Your eyes seemed to focus on a figure out in the distance heading in your direction.

Normally I'd be nervous to even approach anyone... but today I am terrified. Fuck it, nothing's made the slightest of sense today.

You jog over to them, your whole body still shivering and quite possibly about to become an ice pop. 

"Uh- um, excuse me? Can you please tell me where I am? And where I can find the nearest transportation system?" You keep your eyes trained on the floor, afraid of looking a random stranger in the eye whilst looking like a complete mess. The stranger shifts in place, an audible "Eh?" escaping the boy's mouth. "I'm sorry miss, I don't know what you're saying. Could you repeat that?"

Sumimasen? Excuse me? What the fuck?

Finally gaining some confidence, you tear your eyes off the ground to look at the boy in front of you, you take a step back while a small gasp leaves you. Standing in front of you stood a boy around the age of twelve or thirteen, with tanned skin, and burgundy hair that was combed back nicely, exposing his forehead that had a noticeable scar on the top left side of it, his wide eyes were also filled with the same shade of burgundy as his hair. His outfit consisted of a white robe with black pants, covered by a checkered, black, and sea-foamed green haori. Hanging off his ears were a pair of hanafuda earrings with a beautiful white-and-red flower design on them. In his arms was a beat-up basket with some bamboo and straw.

"What- Why do you look like-"

Woah, why does he look EXACTLY like Tanjiro? Is he a cosplayer? That scar looks way too realistic though- But maybe he's good with makeup? Also, his hair looks way too real.

You begin to feel quite self-conscious and uncomfortable under "Tanjiro's" stare, considering you were extremely undressed for the weather and you had no idea what he had just said. Plus, you looked like a blizzard just barfed on you. "Ah, could you maybe say that a little slower? And in English?"

He tilts his head in confusion, then shakes it with a confused smile adorning his features. "I still don't know what you just said. Oh- but you look cold." After saying whatever he said, he places the basket with his supplies down and takes his haori off to drape it across your shoulders, "There! I hope that's better for you... Oh, I should tell you my name! I'm Kamado Tanjiro."

Giving him a grateful smile, you instantly pause as he introduces himself.

Did he just... Say his name was Tanjiro? THERE'S NO WAY, IF HE'S ACTUALLY TANJIRO THEN THAT MEANS I'M IN DEMON SLAYER? WHICH IS NOT GOOD! 

You fall to your knees and Tanjiro visibly panics, "Are you okay miss? What's wrong? Did I do something to upset you?" Your vision blurs as tears begin to slowly drop from your eyes, "I don't know what you're saying, all I could understand was you said your name was Tanjiro- but- that can't be possible... There's no way you're actually the Tanjiro from Demon Slayer." Rapidly wiping your eyes from the tears you weakly point to yourself, "Not that it matters too much but I'm [Y/N]- ah, but you guys say your last names first right? Uh- I'm [L/N] [Y/N]."

"[Y/N]? Is that your name?" Hearing him repeat your name, you nod your head, clutching his haori closer to your body. Tanjiro's eyes soften as he grabs a hold of your hand, helping you up. He picks up the basket that was beside him and starts your walk. You let him lead the way, unsure of where the two of you were going, although you weren't too troubled with this, considering you knew Tanjiro would never do anything to hurt you.

➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶

Reaching a small opening in the side of a mountain, Tanjiro lets go of your hand and places the basket on the floor. "Nezuko," Tanjiro calls out into the opening.

Oh, that's right this is where Nezuko dug that hole, and then she got all tiny to fit into the basket!

Looking into it, the two of you see nothing besides a hole that was dug into the ground, "Huh? Nezuko! She's gone!". Right as Tanjiro finishes his sentence, Nezuko conveniently pops her head out with a worried expression resting upon her gentle features. You hold yourself back from fawning over her and settle with just giving her a smile and wave. Tanjiro turns to you with a bright smile on his face, "Ah, [Y/N]! This is Nezuko, my little sister." Without needing to understand Japanese to know he was introducing her to you, you happily nod your head.

Tanjiro then shifts his attention to the basket and gets to work in an attempt to make something good enough to transport his sister.

Wow...Tanjiro really is amazing!

You would've offered to help but you had no idea how to so you left him to do all the work. Not knowing what else to do, you turn back to Nezuko and talk to her, although it was definitely a one-sided conversation considering she had a muzzle over her mouth. Although she couldn't reply, Nezuko still seemed interested in what you had to say, so you eagerly told her about where you came from, not exactly specifying that you weren't from their universe and things you were interested in.

Finishing up the basket rather quickly, Tanjiro enters the "mini cave" urging Nezuko into the basket to continue their journey to Urokodaki. Switching your attention from Tanjiro and opting to just stare at Nezuko, what can you say? She's really pretty, she crawls into the basket leaving most of her body protruding from it. Stifling a laugh, you approach the siblings and pat Nezuko's back, "Nezuko, you should shrink down! Be tiny, be even more adorable than you already are!" 

The two of you watch as Nezuko shrinks herself down to a smaller size, "Ah, Nezuko, you shrunk!" 

"Yay, good job Nezuko!", both you and Tanjiro proudly pat her head, as the younger girl lets out a content hum. Tanjiro gives a slightly dejected smile as he faces you, "I'm sure you can tell by what you just saw but, Nezuko isn't human. She was turned into a demon recently and I'm trying to find a way to turn her back." 

You tilt your head in confusion and reply, "Tanjiro, I'm pretty sure you just told me some really depressing backstory or something, and I’m sorry for that, but I don't understand a thing you just said." His eyes turn into dots and you try hard not to lose it.

THEIR EYES ACTUALLY DO THAT HERE? DOES THAT MEAN I CAN DO IT TOO?

"That's right, you don't understand me since you don't speak Japanese. It's kind of weird... If you don't speak Japanese then what language are you speaking right now?" Shaking his head with a determined look on his face, he positions the basket that was carrying Nezuko onto his back and gently grabs your hand once again.

His hands are surprisingly soft...

"We should probably find you some new clothes on our way too since you could get sick wearing so little in this weather..." He trails off looking at your unique attire with a bit of red tinting his cheeks.

Ahh, he's so cute!

➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶

The two of you had been walking for a few hours now as was evident with the sun slowly setting in the distance. Tanjiro had wavered away from the trail and was now conversing with a woman who had her child close to her side. You didn't care enough to listen in on their conversation since you knew he was asking for directions for the mountain Urokodaki lived on. Awkwardly standing there, you notice the three of them turn to look at you. The woman swiftly gives a nod of her head and goes into her home. "Bro, Tanjiro, what was that? Why'd you all look at me like I did something wrong?" Thinking that was the end of it, you turn to face the road and take a few steps forward, "Ah, [Y/N], wait! We need to wait for the lady to come back out with your things." Stopping in your tracks after hearing your name and the word "wait", you give Tanjiro yet again another confused look.

Shortly after, the woman comes back out with some fresh clothes. It consisted of a black kimono with delicate pink roses patterned onto it, a sash (you think it's called an obi or something) a couple of shades darker than the roses, a white haori with matching flowers, and a pair of sandals and socks in her arms. Tanjiro gives you a warm smile and nudges you gently, urging you to take the items. The woman once again begins speaking, "Here's your change of clothes. You can get dressed inside. If you need assistance please just call for me and I'll be there right away." Trying to understand what she said, you just nod your head with a grateful smile plastered on your face, "Ah, thank you."

Tanjiro seemed to almost do a double-take, his eyes widening a bit.

He's probably surprised I spoke a bit of Japanese, heh.

The woman leads you inside her home, taking you to what you assumed was her bedroom. Getting dressed you realized you had no idea how to properly put on a kimono resulting in a considerable amount of struggle. Eventually giving up, you open the door a crack and call out for the lady, "Uh, how do you say it again? Uh, Excuse me?"A few seconds later, the woman peeks around the corner and notices the door. She enters the room and chuckles, "Here, let me help."

Once you're finally properly dressed, the lady hands you a small bag with your clothes neatly folded. You thank the woman awkwardly "Oh, uhhh, thank you..." In return, you receive a warm smile, "You're welcome!"

You meet Tanjiro outside and notice him attempting to pay the woman for her kindness. She shakes her head trying to give the money back, but Tanjiro grabs your hand and runs away while waving his free hand in goodbye.

Bro, now I feel bad- Tanjiro really just bought me some clothes cause I was under-dressed here. Well, at least I won't be freezing anymore...

As it gets darker, you begin to wonder how long it will take to reach Urokodaki.

➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶

Once the sun had fully set, Tanjiro let Nezuko out of the basket. She was quick to hold onto her older brother's hand and glance at you before setting off once again.

The three of you spot a temple in the distance and your heart begins to race.

Oh shit, the temple demon.

"Look, a temple!" Tanjiro exclaims, "There's a light on so some people must be inside. Let's go see-" He suddenly cuts himself off and you try to mentally prepare yourself for what's to come. "I smell blood! Someone might be hurt!" Tanjiro begins rushing up towards the temple dragging Nezuko and yourself with him.

Holy fuck, I'm not prepared for this.

After your far-fetched daydreams about proposing to Sabito, you watch as Tanjiro places his arms behind his lean body to prop himself up, "What do you want, jumping out like that all of a sudden!" Sweat dripped down Tanjiro's face as he yelled at Sabito.

Even when he’s yelling he still manages to make it look cute, what the fuck?

You quietly sat under a nearby tree's protective shade. "I should be the one asking that, what are you doing?” Sabito states plainly as Tanjiro gives him a perplexed look, "Doing? I'm training..."

 "How long are you going to sit there like that? Prepare yourself." Sabito's manly voice silences Tanjiro as he picks himself off the floor.

Damn Tanjiro, Sabito just called you out. 

"At least one of you is taking this seriously..."

Oh? Was he trying to call me out too?

As the two of them stand their ground in front of one another and the tension grows, your eyes wander around the area to see if Makomo was around.

Nope, don't see her… for now...

"Alright, bring it on." 

Oh shit, it's happening.

"But..." Tanjiro hesitates to attack, noticing a difference between himself and his opponent, "You're holding a wooden sword and I'm holding a real one."

Oh Tanjiro, honey, no. 

Sabito's posture relaxes as his laugh cuts through the tension in the air. The sweat on Tanjiro’s dumbfounded face now began to intensify. You slightly shift in your spot in anticipation of the upcoming fight. You already knew how it would end, Tanjiro being knocked unconscious, but that didn't stop you from silently cheering for him. 

Don't worry Tanjiro, you can do it!.. Eventually!

"Haha, you flatter me! Thank you for this care you've shown me! But do you really think you're able to injure me?"

Sabito rushes towards Tanjiro in a flash, forcing your friend to parry the young masked male's attack. "You don't have to worry at all, I'm much stronger than you! After all, I was able to slice that boulder in half!" Sabito mocks Tanjiro, and in a way you too, as your now panicked friend struggled against your favorite masked male. "You really haven't learned anything, have you? You haven't turned anything you were shown into your own skill!" Sabito overpowers Tanjiro, throwing him to the ground with a hard “thud". 

I'm starting to feel bad for him...

"Especially the breathing technique Urokodaki-sensei has taught. "Total concentration."

Realization flashes across Tanjiro's face, 

Oh yeah, it's all coming together now.

"You've only memorized the moves like some mere trivial facts. Your body hasn't experienced it at all." They both continue their attacks, and as time passes by, you realize Tanjiro was resorting to defense more than offense. In his eyes, you could see the determination after he realized Sabito made several points. "I'll make your flesh and blood remember it well," Their movements seemed to become blurrier as Tanjiro fought to keep up, "All of it, all of it, ALL OF IT! I'll make you NEVER forget the secret techniques Urokodaki has taught you! I'll implant them in your bone marrow." Sabito yells as his attacks continue to overwhelm Tanjiro more and more.

Sabito's so cool! Ahhh, I'm so going to praise him after this is over! After I check up on Tanjiro. 

"I am learning! I learn every day, I'm doing my best to learn with my life! But right now I don't know what to do at all... I can't move forward." Tanjiro's voice trails off, you note how disappointed he sounds in himself. "Keep moving forward if you wish to succeed if you really want to become stronger! You don't have any other choice except moving forward!" Blow after blow, Sabito continues to land hits onto Tanjiro, "Let me witness it, your power!" Tanjiro lets out a guttural yell before Sabito crouches down, landing a solid blow under Tanjiro's chin. The blow was so strong it ended up knocking your friend out cold, forcing his body to land harshly against the hard ground.

OW, OW, OW. THAT SOUNDED PAINFUL AS FUCK.

 A new figure appears at your side and you jump, startled by the girl now next to you.

JESUS CHRIST YOU SCARED ME.

"I'll leave it to you then," Sabito speaks to the small girl as you stare wide-eyed at the both of them. "So, uh..." Both figures looked down at you, one with a gentle smile on her adorable face and the other seemed annoyed, although you couldn't tell because of the mask.

AHHHH! NOW'S LIKE ONE OF THE ONLY CHANCES I'LL HAVE TO SPEAK TO THEM ALONE SO,

"You were so cool just now!" Your voice was unintentionally loud, causing Makomo to giggle at your enthusiasm. Sabito says nothing as he walks into the mist, disappearing alongside it.

NOOO COME BACK! I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO PROPOSE!

"It's nice to meet you," Makomo's airy voice cuts through the silence and you give her a welcoming smile, "It's nice to meet you too Ma- my friend." You cut yourself off almost accidentally saying her name.

She does not need to know I know who she and Sabito are.

"You speak English?." Moving from your spot under the tree in favor of getting near Tanjiro, you reply, "Uh, yeah." Her head tilts to the side cutely, "Are you a foreigner?" You nod your head in reply and she smiles, "That's really interesting. Oh, but I haven't introduced myself yet... I'm Makomo, the other boy just now is Sabito..." 

I can finally call them by their names now. That's good, I don't have to worry about acting like I don't know them, well, I still do, just not strangers.

"It's really nice to meet you Makomo! I'm [Y/N], and my knocked-out friend right here is Tanjiro." Introducing yourself and your partner in crime, you begin to play with his hair, running your hands through his hair.

Soft.

Like a magic touch, Tanjiro begins to stir and slowly comes to. Both you and Makomo lean over his body as he finally opens his eyes, "Are you alright?" Brushing the question off, Tanjiro sits up swiftly and gets close to Makomo's face, "Did you see that move just now? That was an awesome strike! No hesitating or unnecessary movements at all! Very clean! I want to be like that too. I can do it, right? That move just now..." Tanjiro trails off, taking in the fact that a new face has shown up. Makomo takes his silence as an opportunity to speak up, "Of course you can. I'll be there to witness it." 

A faint blush spreads across Tanjiro's cheeks before questioning who Makomo was. She gives him the same introduction she had given you and you close your eyes.

Her voice is really nice to listen to.

➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶

After her introduction, she spent the next few minutes giving the two of you tips, pointing out the places where you were lacking, and correcting anything you were doing wrong. Both you and Tanjiro listened attentively, making sure to not miss any information that left her mouth. 

God, I'm dumb.

"Why are you helping us?" Tanjiro questions Makomo as she sits atop the boulder. She was currently working on a flower crown, weaving the stems together. Tanjiro's eyes never leave the girl and you shift uncomfortably as you both watch her work. "Where did you two come from?" Finishing the crown, she delicately places it on her head.

"We really love Urokodaki." 

A small frown adorns Tanjiro's face, confused as to why the small girl wouldn't answer the question. "Are you and Sabito siblings?" Although you already knew the answer to all of Tanjiro's questions, you pretended to be interested.

Makomo smiles down at you both and shakes her head, "Sabito and I aren't related. Urokodaki took us in and raised us because we were orphans."

Bro, she's speaking in past tense...

She jumps down from the boulder and lands in front of you both, a mist beginning to fill the space around you, "There are other children too. They're all around, watching you both."

Ayo, that's kinda creepy.

Tanjiro's head tilts to the side, expressing his visible confusion. "What do you mean?" 

Not elaborating, Makomo changes the topic back to training, "Total concentration breathing... Accelerates your blood flow and heartbeat. Your body's natural temperature also shoots up. You're still human, but you get strong like a demon. You expand your lungs... And bring lots of air into your blood. Your blood gets excited and your bones and muscles thrill. You get hot and strong!"

If I didn't know what that meant already, I'd be so confused right now.

You look beside you and see Tanjiro's puzzled expression,

Me too, Tanji.

"How do we do that?"

"You must train so hard that you could die. There isn't anything else you can do."

Oh boy...

➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶

After Makomo's explanation, both you and Tanjiro continued pushing yourselves to the limits. Each day that passed, you both continuously swung your swords to the point it felt as if your arms would fall off. Even your lungs would scream at you to take a break as your heart would pound against your chest.

I feel like death. Please help meeeee!

Gasping for air, you let yourself ungracefully fall to the ground. The mist that had settled around the area caught your attention as Makomo appeared from behind the trees.

"H-hey Makomo..."  Rolling over to your side, you face the girl who had a content smile on her face. "Hello [Y/N], it's a lovely day isn't it?"

You give a slight nod and finally manage to sit up, your breathing finally becoming manageable, "I started training with Tanjiro as soon as I woke up. I really need to get strong enough so Urokodaki-sensei can let me go to the final selection."

She nods her head at your words, "You should take a break, you've been working really hard lately..." Makomo suggests, seeing just how exhausted your figure looked.

You sigh, wanting desperately to sleep the rest of the day, "I can't, I have to keep training... Even through all of this, I'm as successful at slicing this boulder as Tanjiro is at beating Sabito... No offense to him though."

Makomo smiles, "Speaking of those two, we should go see how they're doing... Maybe you could also ask Sabito to spar with you."

Spar with Sabito? I could get stronger that way... And I get to interact with him more.

"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea." Being pulled up by the hand Makomo offered you, you both made your way toward the area the boys were located. Tanjiro lay on the ground, sweat dripping down his face as his arm rested on his forehead.

"Hey guys, the cutest girls have arrived!" You exclaim, Makomo's hand in yours as you approach the boys. "[Y/N]! And Makomo too!"

The boys turn their attention towards you two, with Tanjiro's face expressing his joy at your arrival. "What are you two doing here? Shouldn't you be training?" Sabito's displeasure is vocalized in his tone of voice.

"Aw don't be like that Sabito! Is it so bad that I wanted to see you?" You grin mischievously at the masked boy. The girl beside you giggles and nods her head, "[Y/N] is interested in sparring with you."

"Although if I'm being honest, sparring isn't the only thing I'm interested in when it comes to you."

Damn, I'm really going all out with flirting with Sabito... Jokingly of course.

"Ah, [Y/N]..." Tanjiro's cheeks had an embarrassed blush spread across them, although he still gave you and Makomo a gentle smile.

Precious boy! I'm going to protect you with my life.

"Don't worry Tanjiro! There's no way I could ever forget my partner in crime! The one person who I can't go a day without seeing a smile on their face." You coo at the younger boy, his blush growing brighter.

"Enough with the playing around, you came here to spar, yes? So get ready!"

"Oh, right."

Oh shit, we're actually doing this?

Without a second wasted, Sabito launches himself towards you, his wooden sword already raised above his head, ready to knock you out if you were hit hard enough on the head. Attempting to counter the blow with your own sword, you struggle beneath his strength.

Am I allowed to kick him? I kinda don't wanna hurt him though...

Noticing your hesitance, Sabito takes the opportunity to make a quick jab at your ribs forcing you to clutch your chest in pain. "Ow! Dude, what the fuck?" Sabito scoffs, much to your annoyance, "Don't let your guard down idiot,"

Wow, what a gentleman! He didn't even hesitate to hurt me. Fine, if that's how it's gonna be, two can play that game.

"Well, you shouldn't either!" You attempt to kick his right leg out from under him, but he shifts his weight to his left. He uses his sword to hit the back of your neck, making you stumble forward and faceplant into the ground. "Bruh."

Fastest defeat in the history of mankind... I would not last a second against Kibutsuji.

"[Y/N]! Are you alright?" Giving Tanjiro a thumbs-up in reassurance, you look back up at the peach-haired boy above you, "Never mind then, you're the best... Gosh, you really are amazing, Sabito!" Said boy offers you a hand and you eagerly take it.

"Look at us, already holding hands. Our relationship has reached a new level, next up is our wedding! And yes, that was a proposal."

Let's gooo, proposing to the homies! Who cares if he didn't understand!

As soon as you're on your feet, he quickly releases his hold on your hand and walks away. "Wha- Hey, where are you going?"

"Away from you, you're giving me a headache..."

Wow, I am offended!

"Don't say that! You know you love me!" He stops in his steps and looks back at you, although you can't see his expression, you assume he's giving you a look of annoyance or disappointment, maybe even both as he shakes his head. 

What you didn’t know was that instead of annoyance, was a smile beneath his mask.
