Taisho Rumors, Douma's teaching to Inosuke... And Ai's Bedtime❄️🪷

Inosuke Had been with Douma for 2 years now. During this time their dynamic Had changed. Yes Inosuke still has a resentment against douma for obvious reasons but...living With the Same man ( espacially If its Douma) for two years can change you! Inosuke No longer attacks or Just insults him when He approaches him. They can have rather normal conversations...Well ofc Inosuke is still wary since Douma is Unpredictable and light-hearted conversations can Turn dark very quickly! But to Put it in a nutshell, their Relationship got "Better" through the years. Douma even started to teach Inosuke some Things since he got to know that Inosuke was unable to read and write! Or had No Basic knowledge!

Over a half year ago Inosuke was sitting in Ai's nursery while He watched Douma Tend to her. Back then she was even more Tiny! Just a barely 4 months old Baby. Douma Just finished changing her into a new diaper before He tired around. "Thats a Happy Baby~ you agree right Little boar?~" He asked Inosuke with a too bright Smile Inosuke cringed a Bit "Tch. yeah yeah she is Happy Alright!" The Teen scoffed stubbornly Secretly Not wanting to admit how cute Ai's Happy laughter really is.

Douma Just gave a chuckle while Picking Ai Up into His Arms. "I knew you would agree hihi~ now...it's almost time for bed for her right?~" the Kizuki slowly Made His way to Inosuke. The Teen frowns Questionable...what does He want from him? "You know i was thinking..." Douma started while gently shoving Ai into Inosuke's Arms. "Maybe you should read her a bedtime Story tonight~" He grins liking the View of Inosuke's confused face with His daughter in His Arms. Inosuke Blinks baffled, "what...me?!" Normally it was Douma Who does that or Yuri! So why now him?

"Of course you!~ afterall we practiced so much didn't we? All those difficult words and Letters should be No Problem for you anymore right? And a Big Brother Like yourself should read to His little Sister every now and then~ Douma slightly taunts him ruffling His Hair. Inosuke wanted to say He is Not her big Brother! But for some reason He can't say it Out loud. Maybe because even Then He already thought of her Like a little sibling. All The Teen does to respond in Response she is gritt His teeth in annoyance and slap His Hand away.

Inosuke Remembers how Douma began to teach him how to read and write in the First few months He Had been Here. Back then Douma almost burst into laughter when He got to know Inosuke couldn't even read a simple Kanji or was unable to write His own Name. "But i guess i can blame you little Boar~ afterall you've Lived your whole Life in the Mountains, so No Wonder you can't read or write~" was what Douma Said to him after He supressed His own laughter.

And after that... Inosuke was teached forced to read and write. That...was difficult! Espacially during the beginning time with Douma! Inosuke was fighting the whole time and Douma was often "forced" to Chain him down in Place with some ice chains He Made himself, to Get him to sit still while He started Go Teach the Boy.

"See that Letter?~ "あ" it's pronounced as "A" come on, Tell me what the next Letter is my sweet boy~" He teached him in a honey sweet voice while pointing the the next Letter which was a "ば" meaning "B" He did that so often with Inosuke! And at some Point it Just burned in His mind how the Alphabet Looks Like! Learning to write was a drag aswell! He mostly was being stuck on a Chair because He was maybe taped down and forced to write the Alphabet over and over Till He got it to perfection! And yes...after that came words, sentences, Essays.

It took Inosuke because of His stubborness Not to learn about...3-6 months to somewhat be able to read and write. Though His Handwriting is "Not pretty" what Douma would call it. And during that time Douma Organized a teacher that would teach Inosuke a Bit about Japan culture and Basic human knowledge. The poor Teacher Who Had to Put Up with Inosuke's attitude and yelling.

And now...He is Holding Ai while Douma Looks at him expectingly. "Now are you gonna do it, or are you unable to read and i have to step Up?~" Douma spoke in a mocking sweet Tone, the Teen feels a vein Pulsating in His Temple. Of course the Kizuki will Just Provoke him Till He might snap! But inosuke will Not admit that He is unable to read! "I do it okay?! God give me a damn Book already! Your so annoying!" He barks Back.

All Douma did was giggle, He picked Up a book from Ai's little bookshelf. "Here that's one of her favourites~" He gave it to Inosuke. The Teen read the Title: "little Star, Journey Back Home" and Then the Blurb. Appearantly it was about a little Star that Crashed down from the Sky, two Kids find it and Help it to Get Back Home to the night Sky. A rather cute book! But...a Bit embaressing for Inosuke to read. But Ai Looks at him with such adorable Ai's He can't Turn Back now!

With a heavy sigh He sat down with Ai and began to read. He is Reading was still Not the best and a Bit "sloppy" with His Pronunciation but it was understandable! And Ai kept looking between the book and him with wide innocent and facinated eyes. "One day, when Yumi was looking outside her Window she saw a shiny and beautiful Star! At First she doesn't See it but the poor Star was falling down!-" inosuke kept Reading to her. With time Ai slowly Closed her eyes, Inosuke Successfully Put her to sleep! And Douma Just watches the whole Thing with a wide smirk.

Because He knows He was the one Who teached him that...

Taisho Rumors Akaza and sick little Kaito❄️

Akaza is one of the strongest Demons there is, being upper Rank 3 gives him Authority from other people. Lower demons and Humans are Shaking in their Boots when they See him. But despite that there is a whole other Side of him! Sure His favourite Hobby is Training, But there are Some Hidden Talents or Hobbies He got from his human Life that are still in him and Play a big Part while raising Kaito.

For starters He was the one Who took Care of the Garden of the dojo him and Kaito are currently staying at. Pulling weeds won't Finish the Job, This place is far too overgrown with weeds and other plants that don't belong there. So there has to be done much more. But for some reason He knows what to do and how to garden. Maybe because He acually enjoyed gardening as human when He took Care of the Garden of Koyuki and her father. Akaza even tries to keep the Pond in the Garden somewhat Clean. "It would be a waste to leave it behind" is what He Always tells himself.

Another Secret Talent from him is nursing Humans. Not that He does that on a regular Basis, He couldn't Care less for weak Humans afterall. But If Kaito falls ill He has to do Something. Kaito with His tiny And Underdeveloped immune system...He can Fall sick very easy. And If Akaza doesn't Help him He might even die because His little Body can't handle the sickness on His own!

It already happened offscreen atleast twice that Kaito has fallen ill! Akaza Had to get medicine from a nearby Village taking the sick child with him. And for some reason He also knows which medicine He needs for Kaito! Despite being a demon Who apparently has lost His human memories. But His memories are deeply rooted inside of him without Akaza knowing. His subconcious will never forget how He cared and nursed for His Father and Koyuki. He also knows how to Wrap Bandages and has Some knowledge about medicine, and can Improvise with home remedies. He doesn't know why He knows these Kind of Things but they come in Handy when you raise a child that is sick!

Kaito was sick two days ago and Akaza was in the Village by the time it was evening. "Are you fucking with me old man? There is No way i can give him These Kind of pills!!" Akaza says stepping closer to the counter of the Pharmacy where the apothecary Stands trembeling and afraid of the uppermoon demon. Kaito whimpering and coughing on His back, the little Boy's eyes Closed and His cheeks flushed. "N-No i would never try t-to Trick you m-my Lord! T-These are the Most Effective pills we have for fevers!" The man stammers Out trying to explain himself.

Akaza scoffed and Shook the Pill bottle. "If you think These are the Most effective pills Then maybe you should think about a Job Transition. These pills are Not for children! Do you want me to overdoze him is that it?!" He slammed the bottle on the counter, the apothecary flinched hard. "No No i swear! Please believe me! I-I would never try that"

This was getting nowhere, he wants to kill that pathetic Guy so Bad right now. But He can't...Not in Front of Kaito! He took a Look around and set His eyes on Herbs, Ginger, and rice water. Akaza decides He will do it on His own. "Fine i do it myself, you are useless anyway. Give me that and i may leave you alive" Akaza glares at the man His Tone serious as His glare. The apothecary nods repeatedly, "Y-yes of course M-My lord! Please Take it! Without any Charge of course!" The old man Doesn't Care for Money, He Just hopes He gets Out of Here alive.

Akaza doesn't say anything Else and Takes the stuff and leaves the Shop. Gritting His teeth in annoyance. "Everyone around Here is useless!" He thinks to himself. But with the Ingredients He is able to make Something that will lower Kaito's fever. He Made His way Back Up the Mountains to Their current Home.

Akaza was able to See how the medicine would Most likely worsen Kaito's fever instead of helping him. Something inside Just told him that This was Not the right medicine! Thats why He did it His own way!

Who knows...maybe in another Universe where He is still a human and acually has a good Life where No one He Loved died, He is a Male nurse. A nurse...that still Likes to Fight though!

Taisho Rumors Kokushibo and Sanemi ⚔️🌪️

While it's true that Sanemi is forced to train with Kokushibo everyday. There are still Exceptions! There are days when Sanemi wakes Up without being dragged by His arm by Kokushibo to the Training hall. Days when He wakes Up in Bed without any disturbance and acually gets a good sleep for once! Days when He Stands Up from bed confused and picks Up His Sword Just in Case. He walks around the House looking for Kokushibo, half-expecting a ambush from the Demon as Part of His Training. But when Kokushibo is nowhere to be found He relaxed a Bit. "Tch! Where the hell is that Fossil?" He scoffed looking around more. On the Table He found a scroll. Tied with blood-red string. He frowned, unraveled it. The ink was elegant, ancient, but the words were unmistakably Kokushibo’s:

“You are not to neglect your discipline.

Repeat the following drills five hundred times before sundown.

No breathing techniques. No shortcuts. If I return and find you weaker, I will correct the mistake myself. I shall Return by Sunset. Do Not disappoint me."

Sanemi scoffed Reading that Note, of course He was on a Mission for Muzan or Something. "He writes Like a damn Warlord" He says to himself after Reading that. Kokushibo Sometimes Just disappears without a Word or He Just simply says "Lord muzan calls" before vanishing. "The old fucker can't even give me a day Off while He is gone." There was Something Else written on It too. A hand-drawn diagram. Sword stances. Detailed refinements on form and footwork. Subtle advice about weight shifting that Sanemi had only learned the hard way after months of trial and error. And beneath it, a line in thinner script:

“You grasp instinct faster than I expected. Refine it. Or waste it.”

No this was Not a praise but it was'nt nothing either.

Sometimes Kokushibo even leaves Something behind for Sanemi but never Out of kindness...Just simple Control!

Things Like Salve for His reopened wounds or Herbs for His fever If He has one again. Also a few Bandages aswell.

"500 drills my Ass Like i am gonna do that! He wouldn't know anyway He isn't even Here! Or is He gonna sniff the ground and Tell i've been Not Standing there?" He scoffed. "No i am gonna sit on my Ass and do nothing today"

He closed his eyes. And then… something gnawed at him.

Something… off.

With a reluctant sigh, Sanemi reached for the scroll again, untucking the bottom of the parchment that had curled. There it was. A second line smaller. Subtler. Almost missed.

“And if you think I will not know… I suggest you check the third rafter in the northern wall. The ink will still be wet.”

Sanemi's eye's go wide and His head snapped towards the far wall. Sure enough, there was a faint shimmer a smear of black ink across a beam. A marking.

Fresh

Kokushibo anticipated His laziness and marked the wall before leaving.

"WHAAAT?!" Sanemi was completly baffled and outraged! It seems Like He Had No other choice Back then but to do His Training Then. He does His Sword Training in the Garden while muttering Something about Killing Kokushibo sooner or later in Life, or when He comes Back later!

And ever since then, whenever Kokushibo is Not there He leaves a Note for Sanemi behind. Filled with Orders and Training Plans He should perform while He isn't there. And a little Threat every now and Then If he attempts Not to do that or Just tries to leave!

Inosuke's mental State🪷❄️

Inosuke is a loud and hotheaded Teen Who Just says what He thinks Most of the time. He is full of confidence and Just does what He Likes! Well atleast thats what He used to be before Douma took him away! Inosuke is still a hotheaded child Who often gets annoyed or pissed Off at Douma but...Things have changed a little Bit. Being kidnapped for two years can change you! In the beginning time of His abduction, Inosuke always tried to physically fight Douma and tried to escape more than He does nowdays! And in the beginning Douma would Just laugh it Off and softly Mock him while starting to "Take Care" of him. The First three escape attempts Inosuke did were Not being punished! Douma simply found it adorable how He thought He could Run away from him. But after that He started to punish Inosuke. It started slowly but each time He got a little Bit more scared of a punishment and therefore to Run away! Espacially His Last punishment where He was drugged, tied up and Locked away in a dark room full of Douma's victims remains left Inosuke incredible afraid of being punished again. Sanemi is in a similiar Situation with a more cruel uppermoon, but the Crucial difference between Inosuke and Sanemi is that Sanemi is a grown man Who can handle Trauma and pain more than Inosuke since He is still a child of 16 years. Douma is a Intelligent man and the master of Mindgames, and He is Not afraid to use it against Inosuke. Nowdays Inosuke is Not completly afraid of Douma everytime be steps into the room...but He is also uneasy with him. Inosuke knows what He is Capable of and for His own safety He stopped "being difficult" everytime Douma wants Something from him. He is Not exploding everytime Douma Talks to him, He is able to have a conversation with the Demon. Still Sometimes Inosuke Just says what He wants and insults and bursts Out in Anger, thats Just Who He is. Most of the time Douma would Just Take it easy, but on rare ocasion He could Turn serious with Inosuke. Knowing this would terrify Inosuke Back in Submission. Yes Inosuke lost a Bit of His Spark He used to have, but he is still Not completly Terrified of Douma! He is...Just scary Sometimes. But Inosuke is stubborn and would never admit that! Despite being scared Sometimes He will continue to do His best each day and tries Not to let Douma Get through to him...even though its difficult Sometimes!

Chapter 31-33 Spoiler warning! 🪷❄️

The uppermoons and their Treatment towards "their Humans!"

❄️Akaza❄️: Akaza First found a little human Boy in a illegal human Trafficking Ring. His First thought was to kill him Out of Mercy since there is No way a orphan can survive in this cruel Land of Japan! Espacially because the child is Just barely 2 years old. But a female voice inside His head stopped him from Killing the Boy and Made him Change His mind. And after that He decided to Take the child with him. Since He doesn't have a Name Akaza named him "Kaito". Akaza the usual Stoic and Combative Demon is struggling with child-rearing. Kaito is Just a little traumatized Boy Which makes the whole Thing even more difficult. Akaza is also often frustrated with him, but He never raises a Hand towards Kaito it Just feels...wrong to Hit a small child as Kaito! What is going on with him? Didn't He say He hates the weak? While His Methods are mostly Not gentle or soft, but for Kaito that is Enough! He smiles when He is around Akaza and is already attached to him and No one can blame him in that one. After everything Kaito has been through almost everything is Better than being Back in that Cage. Akaza might Not be the perfect and affectionate caretaker, but Kaito is save with him and nothing will ever Happen to this child

Douma: Douma got His "perfect little Family" including His almost 1 year old Baby daughter Ai Who is a half-demon, and the 16 year old (about to be 17 that year) Inosuke. After Douma realized there was poison in His Body, Douma stopped playing around and Made Quick Work of Kanao before knocking Inosuke Out and taking him to His Temple, that was 2 years ago. Douma's Love might come of as twisted Sometimes! He treats both Ai and Inosuke in a overly affectionate way. But with Inosuke its more Like with a possesion at the Moment! Something you find cute so it belongs to you and you try to shelter it away so nothing will Happen to it. Ai is the one Who awakened some sort of Feelings deep inside him after she was Born! douma can't Name His Emotions because Sometimes they are there and other Times they are gone again and he Just pretends to have feelings. Thats why Inosuke is often clueless if Douma means certain Things or Not! between mocking and Love its really difficult to See through Douma's Actions. But one Thing is Sure, He will Not let Go of "His children" No Inosuke and Ai will stay by His Side where it's safe...the outside world would destroy Then...thats what He thinks. Sometimes he thinks about turning Inosuke into a demon once He becomes too old, so He will live forever by His Side. But thats Just a thought.

⚔️Kokushibo ⚔️: Unlike Douma and Akaza He isn't exactly taking Care of Sanemi. Just Like Douma did, He took the Young man away after His fight with him in the Infinity castle right after Killing muichiro, Gyomei and His Brother Genya. He saw the Potential in Sanemi and decided to mold and sharpen him. A demon Slayer or Better be Said a Hashira being trained by a Uppermoon is unheard of but Kokushibo Made it possible. Under harsh conditions, Sanemi is being trained everyday! The Hashira hates him to His very core for what He did but for now He has No choice but stay and wait for him to Get Stronger! Their Relationship could be described as a dark Student and master Relationship! Kokushibo doesn't hold Back with Sanemi and If He knocks him unconscious during a Training Session so be it. "Only pain makes him Stronger" is His mindest about Sanemi. Its clear Kokushibo has bigger Plans for The Wind Hashira in the Future but No one exactly knows what His exact Plans are yet! He did Tell Muzan He wants Sanemi to Work for Them though. If Kokushibo would die by Sanemi's Hand one day through His Training He would Accept it with Honor. But its still a Long way to Go for this to Happen!

It's interessting and noticeable to See that each uppermoon has a human in a diffrent age group. Child... Teenager...Adult. muzan still doesn't Get why almost everyone of His Kizuki is keeping a human around btw.

Headcanons for Douma in my Ice Bound AU❄️🪷

1: Douma Likes to Take Care of what is His, espacially Inosuke. He doesn't know yet If Ai is a possesion or Not but He Loves her dearly!

2: Emotions are new to him! Douma has never felt Feelings His entire Life! But when Ai came into His world Something has changed! But thats doesn't mean He has His Feelings under Control or feels all the time! If you accidently make that man somehow angry at you, its over for you because He could Not Control it yet!

3: Don't let that man near Inosuke after He ate a marechi! The ideas He has during this time are crazy! "You Miss your old Life?~ Then why don't i Just kill you so you don't feel pain anymore?~", "Maybe i should Lock him away so only i know where He is~ and He is being kept Safe and can't Run away again hihi~"

4: despite being a demon He is a rather good Cook! He often Had cooked for Inosuke in Secret (otherwise inosuke wouldn't have eat it). He Likes it and its a Nice change, instead of doing His usual "Boring" cult Work!

5: It is not clear which Side is scarier! The one He Just stops smiling and Just Talks serious. Or the rare rare ocasion He acually gets Mad about Something! But one Thing is clear! If that Smile from his face Slips you know you have messed Up big time and should Run away!

Your fanfic in ao3 is INCREDIBLE thank you for making my night entertaining, I am attentive to each chapter

Thank you 😇🫶🏻 oh its night by you? It's morning in my country here

[lotusandfangs]

Hello I am new to Tumblr, but i still want to Join this lovely Community!🌸

Ever wanted to find Out What would have happened If the Uppermoons had won in the Infinity castle? What would have happened to Japan and the Demon Slayer Corps? And maybe did you ever Wonder what would have happened If Douma Just decided to kidnap Inosuke away from everything after He Beat him?🪷 And force the Young teen to live with him in His twisted cult? This is my AU called Ice Bound❄️, And No i don't write any Douma x Inosuke or anything underaged! That i don't do!

Heres a sneak Peek:

"This Young Demon Slayer in Your Care...why did you Take him after defeating him? You Had every Chance to kill him on spot. I am simply asking because i have the Feeling this human might become a distraction for you and your Duties as uppermoon 2" Kokushibo asked reposeful watching the blonde expecting a honest respond that will explain this Strange Decision of him.

Douma Blinks surprised tiltling His head to the side from Hearing such a interessting Question. Yes He Had every Chance to kill Inosuke Back then! But where is the fun in that? He stands up straight again that ever lasting Smile plastered on His face. "You ask why i still have my little Boar by my Side? Well there are multiple reasons If you ask me" He says thinking fondly of what will await him at His Home. "For starters He is Incredible cute!~ He is so temperamental and hot headed! espacially with those Temper tantrums Sometimes! I Love His little reactions Here and there! You can Get really easy under His skin Tee hee~" Douma Digresses Putting His Hand on His cheek smiling in glee.

"He May say He hates me and would kill me if He Had the chance, but we both know that He needs me" His smirk forms into Something a Bit more creepy. "Afterall Who helps him through These terrible Nightmares He has Sometimes? Yes thats right its me!~ and Who dries His tears when He is in one of His "Hysterical moods" again? Yep also me!~ I won't even start on from who he gets his food and a Safe roof over His head from" Douma chuckles. He Talks Like He is Not responsible for Inosuke's current Situation and His Nightmares.

Even Kokushibo tries Not to Show His inner disgust or Discomfort. Humans are prey yes! But that doesn't mean you have to Play with Them Till they Break down. Kokushibo would rather kill The Boy than toying with him or Unnecessarily keep torturing him, But maybe thats Just His Point of View. He May be a Demon but He has Honor.
