#Tamayo x Yushiro

[epitaphtherat]

Sorry but I DONT HAVE THE URGE TO CONTINUE

I GIVE UP

[sweetreichel]

October 23rd is Doctor's Day in my country, not that anyone but doctors care,

So anyway, i decided to "doodle" everyone's favorite doc and ended up coming up with a whole story like always

When Tamayo eventually reincarnates, Chachamaru finds her when she's about to finish med school. Yushiro does what he has to do to get a new diploma and get into health care (i mean with all that time i bet he's studied different subjects). He finally reunites with her when she's studying internal medicine. He tells her everything and she has to believe him, she has a demon in front of her. She makes up her mind about studying immunology (which she was already interested in) so she can make the medicine to become human (and cat) again for Yushiro and Chachamaru. She gets support from the Ubuyashiki family, and while she's developing the antidote, she and Yushiro get close. After a few years she makes it and Yushiro and Chachamaru can get back their human/cat nature. Yushiro can finally grow old with the love of his life. (...she also asks him to chill a little, which he does reluctantly).

(i know the bouquet is a mess but it's loaded with feelings. At least according to the hanakotoba wikipedia article 😅)

[reicchel]

While Tamayo and Yushiro are both characters i adore, i don't really ship them as they are in canon. I slightly favor Yushiro over Tamayo because his obnoxious personality truly resonates with me like. he and haganezuka are the two kny characters i relate to so you get the picture even if Tamayo is a doctor and a honorary immunologist. So there's a part of me that would like to see his love being requited. I would also love to see Tamayo forgive herself and be able to let go of her late family, even if not necessarily only to get together with Yushiro.

But if they were to get together, I would like to see Yushiro help her accept that she is a demon, and that even if she was turned into a demon by Muzan, she's got nothing to do with him anymore thanks to her own will that allowed her to change the demon qualities she so hated. Because it feels like she thinks she completely lost her humanity, but i think she regained a lot of it as we see through her kindness, mercy, generosity, etc--like, there are humans more cruel than her. I know Yushiro can see this, but he either doesn't tell her or she just won't believe him.

Find Urself a guy so enticed with U that he'll learn to draw hUman anatomy as correctly as possible, who gains an Understanding of color theory, who tries his hardest to shade the skin, who Uses coUntless references of different people from all aroUnd the world and pUts himself in a position where the simplest of insecUrities become beaUty in his eyes, so desensitized to the real world and the thoUghts of others. Only to draw U,,,,

U with the nervoUs glances, U with the sparks of confidence, U with smarts, U with the body that U possess, U with the glowing skin, U with blemishes, U with scars, U with the signatUre grin, U with tears of happiness, U with sadness inclosed, U with so mUch secrets, U with an open heart, U with stretch marks, U with colors of the rainbow, U with the natUre itself, U with the everlasting eyes that lead to Ur heart, U with silence, U,,,,U,,,

However, no amoUnt of skill can captUre the charm, no amoUnt of brUsh strokes can ever compare to the real U, no amoUnt of practice can portray the love he has 4 U, no amoUnt of stUdying will ever compare to the time he spent stUdying U. No canvass will fit the love he has 4 U.

None will be able to captUre U in a box of white. Yet he makes a fUtile effort with scenarios in his imagination that will never be accUrate. The jealoUsy that takes root has no reasons, nor is it based on reality, yet his thoUghts run wild, so does his imagination.

He fantasizes Until a piece is born, a piece entirely consUmed and concocted by lUst. Depicting U in Ur most vUlnerable state.

The gUilty heart thUmps against his ribs as he continUes to shade Ur bottom in tints he can only imagine the real thing is. The organ beats loUdly in his ears, flUshed with the act he refUses to halt, the pink hUe decorates his face the longer the stays in place. Addams apple moves along his gUlps of saliva as sweat travels down from his temple. Dry tongUe slides across his lips.

This piece will never be hUng on the walls, yet the shamefUl act of drawing lewd makes him freeze as if an aUdience is watching and observing. It woUld have been fine if not for the fact that Ur the one on display. It flares an Unpleasant emotion inside of him. Anger, jealoUsy. He is aware It's nonsensicle.

The way he shifts his arm is robotic and he gets lost in the colors, Until it's time to add the glint on Ur Sex, erm,,,, Ur sex from his fantasy anyway.

A thought rUns across his mind that stops him of filling you with colors.

ShoUld he stain this already sedUctive piece with his colors filling the insides of you?

[shinobuscanonwife]

Hello, can I request some headcanons of giyuu, muichiro, tamayo, yushiro and genya with a reader with a personality like yui komori from diabolik lovers? I mean, she's incredibly gentle, sweet, quite submissive and has some problems defending herself (but that doesn't mean she doesn't), I hope you don't mind that she makes many requests and if this exceeds your limit of characters you can not include some, take care of yourself!

All of these can be read as platonic or romantic except for Muichiro who is platonic!

Giyuu

He loves how optimistic you are. He can be seen as somewhat of a negative person so it's nice to have someone so optimistic around him. He loves how gentle you are too. One time he had gotten hurt and you offered to help him bandage his wounds he accepted your offer and you were so gentle with him the whole time. He barely felt anything the whole time you were bandaging the wound because of how gentle you were being.

Muichiro

He likes how nice and gentle you are. Whenever someone mentions your name he just perks up like he just instantly gets happy. No matter how rude someone is being you always have a kind response and that's something he admires. He loves listening to you talk and could listen for hours. He just thinks you're so interesting and truly feels safe around you. He thinks of you as a little sibling and can be very protective of you if he needs to be. He always accompanies you whenever you go out at night in case a demon attacks.

Tamayo

She immediately gets attached to you. You're so gentle with everyone and you're so nice to Yushiro and you're so sweet and gentle with her she absolutely adores you. She keeps you close to her at all times getting quite protective of you. She becomes a lot more careful and wary of Muzan. Fearing Muzan will find you and kill you. She makes sure to never let patients she treats get too close to you for fear of them being related to Muzan in some way. After a long night of work, she loves sitting down and talking to you. Your positivity is something she absolutely loves.

Yushiro

He doesn't like you at first because you took up a lot of Tamayo's attention. But as he gets to know you he starts to really enjoy your company. You're extremely gentle with him and he feels safe around you and feels like he doesn't have to have his guard up all the time. He loves the attention you give him and how sweet and kind you are to him. He loves laying on your lap while you play with his hair or while you tell him about your day or while he tells you about his day.

Genya

Spoilers for the manga

Bro, he absolutely ADORES you. From the moment he met you he wants to spend all his free time with you. You listen to him talk about his problems with Sanemi and you give him advice and he honestly couldn't be more thankful for you. Even if you know Sanemi hates him you care enough to listen to him and that means more to him than you'll ever know. He's very protective of you due to your sweet and gentle personality. He always offers to walk you home at night after you both are done with training.

Thank you for your request! Have a nice day/night

[echantedtoon]

Im just going to be doing this third installment for the rest of the most memorable demons (minus Rui's siblings, Spider Mother, Rui himself, Nezuko, Daki, and Genya again for VERY obvious reasons) on who I think is the best and worst dads/moms. No real order this time tho.

MUZAN:

-He would be a mixed up bag of good and bad traits tbh. When you first told him he flat out told you to stop teasing him. "Stop your childish games. It's a waste of time." You legit have to go get Kokushibo and have him look over your form through the transparent world and have him confirm to Muzan that you were indeed NOT lying or trying to prank him for Muzan to believe you.

-He's oddly silent for a long moment after just staring at you for a long while before going "Oh...Well this is a surprising turn of events."

-He can absolutely act like he's invested in his child and loves them. He's an asshole but a very convincing one to where even you couldn't tell if he was genuine or not. How he is towards the child is a mixed bag in of itself. He doesn't treat the child with harm or too much aggression. If anything he's actually more curious about seeing what a demon-human hybrid could accomplish.

-Look. Your child is either fully demon or fully human with your mixed genes. There's no in-between. If it's fully human then he's rather disappointed in the result. In turn he loses a lot of interest in the kid and just allows you to essentially raise them yourself without too much interference. He might change the child into a demon when they get older but overall wouldn't see much point in bothering with the tyke.

-If the child is demon THEN he will have a bigger interest. He's disappointed when you both find out that your child is in fact NOT immune to sunlight but he was already anticipating that anyways. He's very invested in making the perfect heir for himself.

-VERY strict perfectionist. Your child will be very smart, a good fighter, and as dangerous as a lower moon by the time they're eight because of their father's teachings. But at what costs?

-You wouldn't get to have a say in much of anything in their raising then.

-He plans out their schedule every day AND night for everything: Education, training, discipline, sleep, times they are to eat and who they interact with and when- He has very strict rules and if they aren't followed then they're training time is much more harsher. By default he also plans yours as the child's mother.

4½/10 Only because of the mixed bag of parenting style otherwise I'd score him much lower however an in between seems about right.

SPIDER FATHER:

-He's a good dad in Rui's opinion to Rui but no one else and honestly I hate how he treats practically everyone else.

0/10 for obvious reasons

YUSHIRO:

-Honestly not as bad of a father as one might assume. Whether the baby is between himself and Tamayo or himself and Y/n doesn't matter. He loves them all the same. Doesn't even care if they're human, demon, or a hybrid.

-Was shocked but not too shocked by the news of becoming a father, but it did take him a whole ass week to really come to terms with it.

-He's very skilled in medicine being Tamayo's assistant so he's able to help a lot with the baby's mother's pregnancy. Tonics to help her sore throat after they vomit, cures for aches and pains especially with swollen ankles, check ups to make sure baby's healthy. He's VERY attentive to his partner and their mental, physical, and emotional needs. Doesn't mean he's not a nervous wreck tho.

-Despite already knowing medical procedures including the birth, he still researches LOTS. Best educational toys, best fabrics to lessen the irritation of the baby's sensitive skin, etc- This man goes above and beyond so much it worries the mother. Tamayo has to get involved in order for him to be convinced to calm down.

-Is literally a nervous wreck when his child is born. Messy hair, bags under his eyes, nervous pacing- He doesn't faint but for a long while after the baby's born he'll just sit down and stare at the closest wall blankly and silently- "Yushiro, are you alright?" "Oh yes. Perfectly fine." "Then why are you just sitting there?" "Just...having a moment, Dear." Give him a moment. His brain is still processing the chubby sleeping mass in his arms after so long.

-Once reality finally slaps his brain into gear, he just cries. Good tears going down his face as he blubbers and holds his baby close to him on instinct. Praises mama too. Commenting on how baby is as beautiful as her and they have her eyes.

-Terrified and protective dad. He knows the dangers and keeps baby at home with mom safely tucked away in their hidden home away from danger. Only takes them out when both himself and Tamayo go somewhere. Strength in numbers.

-Loves holding his baby and sharing his painting hobby. Tamayo found him holding baby as they messily slapped hands full of paint all over a canvas. "Yushiro, what are you doing?" "Exploring their artistic skills of course."

-Man hangs all of his child's artwork proudly on the walls. Once nearly threw hands when one of Tamayo's patients said it wasn't that great.

-He can be very strict or hard on his child due to stress, fear, or stubbornness however and it has lead to some loud fights.

8/10 best father on this list no doubt

SWAMP DEMON:

-Have you seen how creepy he is in Kimetsu Gauken?? Absolutely NOT!

-0/10 Id rather take my chances with Muzan with a massive temper

TAMAYO:

-Is already an experienced parent having prior experience with her past family she lost. So she would definitely know what she's doing and what needs to be done. Already a good start.

-Is very calm and casual about the entire process as she's been through it before although Yushiro is practically worrying his entire hairline off fussing over her. Even though she tells him multiple times to stop worrying so much.

-Can really take care of herself through the entire process being a doctor and a previous mother before so there's really no complications outside of having to stay hidden for safety reasons.

-Has already prepared, planned, and set up a nursery with all the essentials on top of having an emergency bag in case they have to flee right away.

-Yushiro becomes the de fault uncle/dad figure worrying over the baby and crying when Tamayo allows him to hold baby and help care for it while she's busy. He becomes very protective and attached to mini Tamayo.

-Very good parent. Rarely if ever raises her voice to her child. Teaches them everything she knows about medicine and other skills so her child grows to be very smart. Has Yushiro help train them with his attack mode in case they ever have to fight anyone.

-Only downside is that she is unsure if she should offer her medicine to baby if they were born demon in fear it might harm them.

10/10 best mother out of all the demons in kny

[blues824]

Later on him learning that she is the ultimate hashira the widow of yorichi that they both saved her and helps her to recover a sliver of normal life.

Part 1 2

Lady Tamayo and Yushiro

You had met Lady Tamayo after you had become a demon. You had accompanied your husband to the battle with Muzan, but you were aware that you could not tempt fate in their battle. You predicted all of this, and you could sense that the Demon King was scared. But, you knew that Yoriichi would not win this one. 

It was unfortunate, but you had saved the woman. You had reignited her resolve to kill Muzan Kibutsuji, and thus she was on your side. The both of you were great friends especially, and she was honestly very surprised that you were still training your children to become demon slayers despite being a demon yourself. Yoriichi seemed very hospitable to her, and she was grateful for your kindness. Your son and daughter came to know her as Aunt Tamayo.

Hearing the name for the first time brought tears to her eyes, as she had lost her children however long ago. Whenever your husband had to go on a mission, Tamayo stepped in to make sure that the children and you would not be harmed. She is very surprised at the extent of your abilities, as you know each Breathing Style and every Blood Demon Art that has been developed thus far. But, you had confided in her that you couldn’t copy Muzan’s for whatever reason.

She becomes something akin to a sister for you. She supports you in everything, especially when you are hit with flashbacks of the brutal lobotomies that you underwent during the experimentation that made you the Ultimate Hashira and now the Ultimate Demon. She often used her Blood Demon Art to put your body at ease as she informed your husband of what was happening with you.

Your children had inherited their parents’ intellect, and they could sense and predict when you were about to go through an episode. So, they would run and either get their father or their Auntie to make sure that you were safe and that you would be alright. As the time of your husband’s death was nearing, your episodes became more frequent. Your son and daughter were grown adults by now, and were married to two citizens and had children of their own. 

Lady Tamayo and you had made sure that Yoriichi had gotten a proper burial, and she made sure that the burial site was concealed so that no one would be able to disturb him. She helped you through the mourning process, but the two of you had agreed that it would be best to go your separate ways, as the Corps and Muzan would go after the two of you.

Of course, you never went too far. You were aware of her practice and how she kept her hunger at bay, and you would make sure that your family knew that she was a trusted friend. Every generation knew her as Aunt Tamayo, and it always reminded her of your son and daughter who passed away a while ago. You also visited her from time to time, making sure that she was alright, but also when you get injured when you are helping the Demon Slayer Corps.

However, one day, during one of your visits to her, you were promptly attacked by a demon with green hair upon setting foot across the threshold of the estate. Going up against the Ultimate Demon was not a smart move on his part as you were very close to killing him, before Lady Tamayo rushed out and stopped the two of you. After a very awkward conversation over tea, you had learned that the demon’s name was Yushiro, and that your friend had taken him under her wing as a medical apprentice of sorts.

Yushiro found it hard to accept you, as he was jealous that the Lady spent more time with you. But, sometime during your visit, you left her to take him on a short walk away from her. Since he did respect you, he obliged and followed you. Your first sentence to him alone was ‘I know how you feel for Tamayo’. His face went red, but he should have expected it; you probably knew why he was so flustered as well.

“But, I can tell that she is not yet past the death of her husband or children. I myself understand her pain as we are both widows, but I do see how hard you work to protect her. I ask that you continue with this level of dedication, as it will be necessary soon. I won’t tell you anything else, but just know that you are doing great things,” you said as you started to leave and go back to your own estate. He almost screamed your name upon seeing that you were about to go into the sun, but you stated that you had conquered it and could roam under its bright glow.

You wouldn’t be the Ultimate Demon if you couldn’t conquer the Sun, after all.

…

Neither of them had seen you since.

Another Cupid's Game Match Up request for @toshir0!

Thank you so much for requesting! And no problem-o with the match up, I just hope you enjoyed the results ♡

For your platonic match up, I'm pairing you with. . .

Lady Tamayo » + Yushiro

it's a r e l i e f to have someone like you for a friend. to her, your knowledge and love for medicine is so admirable (she loves your passion)

she kind of gushes over it sometimes (and in the presence of Yushiro. . . it would definitely be an interesting interaction)

looks out for you as much as possible and is highly reliable

your wit and humor would be a much needed change for her, she enjoys your company

plus, she'd always have sweet tea on hand for whenever you visit! (she loves offering any food or drinks, since, you know, she can't really eat herself)

a gift giver, definitely (you're always going to be leaving with something)

she'd have plenty of advice/wisdom (including books she'd let you have)

doing a sketch swap with Yushiro for some inspiration

despite your close relationship with Tamayo, it's actually nice to finally have someone to paint with and bounce some of his ideas off

(if you were a slayer) she'd respect any decision you'd make, especially your trust in her (for that you can count on her for anything)

And for your romantic match up I'm pairing you with. . .

Giyuu Tomioka »

because of your quiet personality I think you'd really stand out to him (its easier to understand you than most), enough to get him interested and talking more

especially if you wanted to become a demon slayer

he doesn't think much of himself, even as a hashira he still admires your how hard working and intelligent you are

i think its literally incomprehensible to him just how amazing and adept you are at sciences and math

he daydreams a ton about you (like his secret want to lay his head in your lap and let you mess his hair around while you read)

of course you won't know it just by looking at him. . . he'll just blink out of it and pretend it didn't happen

he's a huge gift-giver

he doesn't really say how much he loves you, so he'll just have to show you (you will be flooded with gifts, books and flowers)

(its also probably how you find out he likes you)

would actually love you being an instigator

poking and teasing him wouldn't bother him in the slightest. . . he'd probably even smile a little at some of the good ones

your scar makes you beautiful to him, in fact he'll always greet you with a kiss to your forehead (holding your head gently against his lips) otherwise. . . his loves kissing your jaw and lips

your hugs would be h e a v e n to him

and come to think of it, he'll grab your hand or pull you by the waist whenever, no warnings, no hesitation

protective, and will drop almost anything if you needed him

he's dedicated, loyal and would try to provide everything for you

his responses are often dull if you don't really know him, and he doesn't like to talk much but. . . there are little moments when he just has to say things to you, like how much of his heart you really have and how incredible you are

long naps with giyuu: tons of thin blankets (so its not too hot) with you laying your on his chest.

he's actually a super soft person who gets cold easily, so he'd hold you close when he sleeps

kind of jealous, or at least wary when your around certain people he doesn't trust

hearing you play the piano would relax him beyond belief, and god, it would remind him all over again just how lucky he is

[tamayosclinic]

hei! sorry for requesting something you dont write:( I totally forgot to read the pinned post, but it will be just as fine if you do poly, male reader, tamayo and yushiro!

Tamayo x M!Reader x Yushiro

Warning(s): Smut Below Cut

Author's Note(s): I couldn't come up with a scenario so I went for general headcanons. Enjoy.

Word Count: 470

Courting Tamayo was a competition between you and Yushiro. Both of you tried to outdo each other constantly and finding work around the clinic provided many opportunities to prove your worth to Tamayo. 

Tamayo grows used to both of you saying, “I’ll do it!” in unison, then arguing with each other when she mentions a chore someone must do. Great minds think alike. You and Yushiro asked Tamayo out just minutes apart. Of course, when you both found out what the other did, an argument started naturally, and Tamayo had to step in to calm you both down. 

Both of you deadpanned when she suggested a poly relationship because she couldn’t choose between either. 

Things are awkward at first. You and Yushiro set up a schedule on who spends time with Tamayo each hour of the day, but more than often, it ended up with you both wanting to spend more than your due time with her, so you threw the schedule out the window. Eventually, you both grew comfortable with spending time with her together. 

You and Yushiro have always been close with Tamayo, but now you are touchy. Hugs, kisses, lingering touches, etc. Tamayo was a bit overwhelmed since she didn’t have such contact for centuries, but she yearns for it now. She especially loves when one of you hugs her from behind and buries your face in the crook of her neck while she works. 

All three of you try to go out and about more often. If not to town, then at least a walk around the garden. Tamayo looks very beautiful with the scenery of the full moon and Sakura blossoms in the background. 

NSFW

Yushiro sees Tamayo as a goddess he doesn’t dare to see in a lewd manner, so it’s up to you to make the first intimate move. Yushiro will scold you, but Tamayo talks him into joining. He is a sub for Tamayo. Whether you do anything with him is up to you. If so, he is a dom. 

He is mostly vanilla but likes to explore different positions. Spooning is his favorite, so he can hug Tamayo close and have his hands free to touch her breasts and play with her clit while fucking her. He will also mark her.  

Depending on your experience, Tamayo is somewhere between the switch and soft dom. Since she is a demon, she is open to trying kinks or positions that would have been too much for her when she was a frail human. 

Tamayo’s possible kinks include doctor/patient roleplay, scent play using her blood demon art, and blindfolding. 

If you and Yushiro share intimacy with Tamayo simultaneously, expect it to be awkward the first few times. In the end, you and him will learn how to coordinate to give her the utmost pleasure.

Half-Demon! Tanjiro AU

Chapter Eleven:

Old Scars

Warnings: A panic attack and some angst

Word Count: 6260

  Zenitsu walked through the halls of the Infinity Castle with a fast paced heart. His walking speed was rather quick and he tried to avoid even the sight of the Kizuki. Matsuemon flew above him, seemingly careless of the demons around him. "Run, Zenitsu!" He cawed. "Lord Tanjiro wants to speak with you!"

  "I know that!" Zenitsu snapped. "I'm going as fast as I can! Without looking weird of course." Matsuemon laughed. "Then why are you taking the long way? It would've been much more efficient if you went through the main lobby! Caw!" Zenitsu shook his head. "You wouldn't want to be in there with all those hungry demons, would you?"

  Matsuemon flew closer to Zenitsu's head. "They don't bite! Lord Tanjiro prohibits it!" Zenitsu sighed in annoyance. "Who knows if they're faking or not.." Matsuemon tilted his head. "It seems like you have some animosity towards them! Why is that?" Zenitsu looked down towards the ground.

  There was a plethora of reasons why Zenitsu never told Tanjiro about Kaigaku. He knew that his ashes were floating around here somewhere, but he hoped that Tanjiro never found them. In all honesty, he had no idea if redemption was possible for the demons. He still remained supportive in spite of this, yet he still urged Tanjiro to be cautious. Nearly loosing him once tore Zenitsu's heart out and he didn't want to truly lose him.

  Despite all the anger he had for Kaigaku and the demon species as a whole, he still longed for the connection he could've had with him. Zenitsu wanted to trust in Tanjiro's ability to persuade. There were so many conflicting feelings that created such confusing turmoil. If redemption was truly possible, then maybe..

  "Caw! Giving me the silent treatment, huh?" Matsuemon cawed, snapping Zenitsu back into reality. "Whatever! I'm a crow, not a therapist! Caw!" Zenitsu only rolled his eyes at the crow's statement. He then skidded to a stop in front of a sliding door. "He's here. His gentle sound is here." He said with a soft, admiring voice.

  Matsuemon laughed. "You sound like you're in love!" Zenitsu's face immediately turned as red as a tomato. "I'm not in love with him! You don't know what you're talking about!" The crow only made a "Mhm" sound and flew through the room as Zenitsu opened the door.

  Tanjiro sat in the middle of his newfound office with Nezuko by his side. A small desk stood against the right wall while a rocking chair was sitting near the left. A small, open bookshelf was set up behind the two. Warm light radiated from two lanterns that hung from the side walls. A journal laid open in front of Tanjiro, who held a quill in his hand.

  "Hey, Zenitsu." Tanjiro said with a bright smile. Zenitsu couldn't help but return it. "Hi, Tanjiro." He sat in front of the new Demon King. "Why did you call me here?" Matsuemon flew past him and sat atop Tanjiro's shoulder-receiving an annoyed look from Zenitsu. "Just to talk, really." Tanjiro sighed. "A lot has happened recently.."

  Zenitsu nodded in agreement. "Are you okay?" He asked with a soft voice. Tanjiro's sound was off pace. The breakdown Tanjiro had after he killed Ran'yō seemed like it ripped open some old wounds. His sound reflected that. Strifles's situation just seemed to hit Tanjiro in an extremely sensitive spot. Zenitsu had an idea of why, but he didn't dare to bring up that old scar.

  Despite this, Tanjiro replied with a warm smile. "I'm fine. There's no need to worry about me. I'm more worried about Inosuke and Strifles. Speaking of which, how is he doing?" Zenitsu huffed irritably. "Despite him having broken ribs, the stupid boar was running around when I visited the Butterfly Estate. Poor Aoi was chasing after him, saying that he absolutely refused to rest." Tanjiro chuckled lightly. "I'm glad to see that he's still being his rambunctious self." Zenitsu rolled his eyes. "I guess you could say that."

  "Have you been able to learn anything about that ram?" Zenitsu asked, changing the subject. "Unfortunately, no. Nobody knows anything about him. Douma told me that this ram knew Muzan and he was supposedly as strong as Kokushibo. I'm not sure if that's exactly true though. Their Blood Demons Arts have been severed in half by becoming a half-demon. Still, that ram nearly killed Douma and Inosuke with ease."

  A shiver crawled down Zenitsu's spine. This ram was clearly dangerous and the lack of information about him only made Jackyll that much more terrifying. "Hey, brother." Nezuko spoke up with a soft voice, turning Tanjiro's attention to her with a soft rumble. "I spoke with Strifles to try to help him and he did give me some information about Jackyll."

  "Really?" Zenitsu asked, widening his eyes. "What did he say?" Nezuko held onto her brother's arm. "He told me that Jackyll sought them out because both he and his brother were half Humanoids. Strifles doesn't know exactly what that means, but he made it clear that they were rare. He also said that at the end of every month, Jackyll would give Ran'yō a dead jaguar for.." Nezuko put a hand over her mouth. "For Strifles's flesh."

  Tanjiro winced from disgust and anger while Zenitsu closed his eyes and turned away with a furrowed brow. "That's just disgusting." The blonde said, gagging. "That poor kid is just a baby! Who knows what hell that ram put him through." Zenitsu's words cut into Tanjiro's heart like a knife. He gritted his teeth and growled. "We need to find out more about him..to stop him from causing anymore harm."

  "But how?" Nezuko looked at him with worried eyes. "I even asked Mister Kokushibo if he knew anything, but he said that he had no clue." Tanjiro nodded. "Yes, but I do believe that there might be one other demon that might know." Nezuko's eyes widened and nodded. "Tamayo."

  "Who's that?" Zenitsu asked, raising an eyebrow. "She's the one who created the medicine that helped us defeat Muzan and the medicine that attempted to turn demons into humans, alongside Miss Kocho of course." Tanjiro explained. "As of now, She's the oldest person alive. If anyone is going to know who these Humanoids are, it's her."

  Zenitsu closed his eyes and nodded. "Alright, but I'm going with you." Tanjiro gave him a warm smile. "I wouldn't mind that at all." Zenitsu's heart fluttered when he saw Tanjiro's smile. "So umm.." He stuttered, face turning red. "I guess we should go, huh?" He grinned. Tanjiro nodded and both he and Nezuko stood up. "Yeah. Let's get Strifles. It would probably make more sense if we brought him with us."

  Zenitsu nearly jumped to his feet and walked right next to Tanjiro. "Of course!" Nezuko giggled to herself as she watched the boys before following them. Matsuemon flew over to her and landed on her shoulder with a laugh.

  Strifles sat in his room with his undead, Maine Coon cat, Nibbles, resting in his lap. His fluffy brown and black fur was well groomed by his owner. The bone of the cat's nose was exposed, but it didn't bother him much. "I'm glad you're still with me." Strifles hugged the large cat gently.

  Strifles's ears twitched as he heard small, soft footsteps approaching. Rui peeked his head around the door. A book was gripped in his hand. "Mythical Monsters From Around the World" was inscribed onto the front cover. "Hey, Strifles." He said softly. "I have something for you." Strifles's tail flicked with curiosity. "You do?"

  Rui nodded as he shifted the collar of his kimono, which seemed to look fine to Strifles. He walked in and sat on his knees in front of Strifles. He held the book out for Strifles to take. "I found this book while I was organizing the books in my room. The color coordination was an absolute mess!" Strifles lightly chuckled as he took the book. He flipped through the pages, looking at all the drawings of the various monsters. "Thank you."

  Rui smiled as he shifted the collar of his kimono once again, catching Strifles attention. "Is there something wrong with your kimono?" Rui made an uncomfortable rumble. "I don't really know. It just never feels right." Strifles tilted his head. "It looks fine to me. Is it too tight?" Rui shook his head. "I'm not sure what it is. It's strange, really. I also feel the same way about my room. It never really feels clean, kinda like myself."

  "But you look and smell great!" Strifles mewed as he curled his tail around his legs. Rui chuckled. "Thank you, but that doesn't really change how it feels." He stared off for a second. "Despite all that, I would like to show you something." Strifles's ears perked up. "Oh? What would that be?"

  Rui then hummed before his body began to change. His skin changed from a white color to a normal, pale skin tone. His hair changed to a dark black and his eyes changed to a dark, navy blue. He held his arms close to his chest and shivered in disgust before looking up at Strifles. "Apparently half-demons have human disguises. I accidentally found this out while I was thinking about my past." His voice was soft and uncomfortable.

  Nibbles meowed, sensing Rui's discomfort. Strifles sensed this too. "That seems cool, but is it hurting you?" Rui shook his head. "Then, what's wrong?" Strifles asked. "I hate how I feel. When I was human, I was severely sick. It still feels like I'm filthy, no matter how many times I take medicine or clean myself. I probably sound crazy." Rui shrugged as he turned back to normal.

  Strifles's ears drooped with worry. "No. It's okay! I may not completely understand, but you're not crazy for thinking like that." Rui smiled softly. "It doesn't help that we've been going through major changes. Hardly anything is stable and in proper roles, except for the times that we eat." The young spider demon's breathing quickened slightly and lowered his head. "Sorry..I didn't mean just to dump that onto you."

  "Don't worry." Strifles purred as he wrapped his arms around Rui. "That's how you feel and that's okay. Things will get better soon" Rui was taken aback by the gesture. Luckily, he was able to rest his arms around Strifles's back. He smiled and purred with gentle relief. "Heh..thank you."

  Once they split off, Strifles looked at Rui with a wide grin. "How did you use your human disguise?" Rui scratched the back of his neck. "Just imagine how you looked as a human. That's really all you need to do." He smiled. Strifles closed his eyes and his tail flicked. He focused on a distant memory. It took place when his parents were still alive..when they were having dinner..when they weren't hunted.

  Strifles's skin turned to a light tone and the black in his eyes turned to a normal white. Unlike Rui, he didn't feel any disgust or shame about his new, yet old, form. "So, how do I look?" Strifles grinned, raising his arms. Unfortunately, Rui's reaction was nothing like he expected. The spider demon had wide eyes and his hand nearly covered his mouth.

  Strifles's arms dropped to the floor as a frown dropped on his face. "I'm guessing it must be bad." He sniffled. Rui shook his head rather quickly. "No. That's not it at all." Strifles raised an eyebrow. "Then, what's wrong?"

  "Is your human form supposed to have the jaguar parts?" Rui asked with worry, clutching the front of his kimono. Strifles nodded slowly. "Yeah. Everyone in my family had them." Rui let go of his kimono as he sighed. "Sorry..I just assumed that they came with your demon transformation."

  Strifles giggled as Nibbles mewed softly, "Don't say sorry! My mom told me that we weren't like other people. I didn't know why, but I guess I do now." He gave Rui an uncertain smile. "That's probably why we lived in the middle of the woods." Rui tilted his head with a guilty expression. "Oh..I don't mind that you look like that. It just took me by surprise is all." He smiled warmly. "It doesn't make me think any less of you."

  Strifles's eager smile returned to his face as his tail flicked happily. "Really? Thank you!" The small pup giggled as he hugged his beloved cat, who seemed rather tranquil. Rui couldn't help but return the eagerness. He chuckled softly as he watched their pure joy, not minding to fix his kimono once more.

  Then, a soft knock came from the door, causing them to turn their heads. "Hello? Strifles? Are you in there?" Tanjiro's soft, muffled voice called out to them from the other side. "Yeah! Come in!" Strifles mewed enthusiastically. Tanjiro gently slid open the door with Zenitsu and Nezuko behind him. "How are you feeling?" The Demon King asked with a soft voice as the trio walked into the room.

  "Better. Mostly thanks to Rui." Strifles took Rui's hand, causing the spider demon's face to redden. "That's good to hear." Tanjiro said with a soft smile. He then tilted his head, noticing Strifles's new form. "Is that what you looked like as a human?" Nezuko asked. "Yup!" Strifles raised his arms. "Apparently, half-demons have human disguises!" Nibbles mewed as he jumped away to wreak havoc.

  The trio looked at each other with curiosity. "How do you do that? That might actually be helpful for us whenever we go on missions." Zenitsu said as he looked at the Kamado siblings, who seemed to be just as intrigued. "Just imagine yourself as a human! That's basically it!" Strifles purred.

  The Kamado siblings looked at each other, nodded, and did as the pup said. A memory of their frosty mountain flooded their minds. Nezuko smiled warmly at the memory, but Tanjiro seemed to be more distressed. He quietly winced as his smile faltered, something only Nezuko and Zenitsu noticed. With these memories in mind though, their eyes returned to their human-like appearance and their fangs and claws disappeared. Nezuko's ivy patterns and horn also receded back into her body. The only thing that didn't change were their heights.

  Zenitsu watched this unfold with curiosity and a little worry. Tanjiro's wincing only reinforced the notion that something in him was causing him to suffer. When Tanjiro opened his eyes though, a flood of nostalgic memories hit Zenitsu. He was reminded of their first interaction, which he held now with great affection. Zenitsu's heart fluttered as the memories were filled with newfound appreciation.

  The Demon King sniffed the air, seemingly caught off guard, and turned towards Zenitsu. His human eyes shimmered in the light of the lanterns. "Are you alright?" He asked softly. "There's a strong, warm scent coming from you." What he didn't tell him was that the scent was similar to the one that Zenitsu had when he first met Nezuko. "I'm fine." Zenitsu said with a smile. "I was just reminded of when we first met."

  Tanjiro smiled sweetly and nodded. "Alright." Nezuko eyed Strifles jaguar attributes. "He can't retract them." Rui explained. "Strifles had them before he was a demon. His whole family did." Strifles nodded in agreement. "They do look cute though." Nezuko grinned, walking over to the pups. She scooped up Strifles in her arms. He purred and mewed in response, making her smile.

  She went back to her brother and held out Strifles to him. The pup wiggled his body a bit with a goofy expression. Tanjiro couldn't help but chuckle as he took Strifles in his arms. The pup nestled into Tanjiro's side. "How are we going to hide his jaguar parts?" Zenitsu asked flatly. Tanjiro thought for a moment before pulling something out from his uniform pocket with his free hand. It was his blue scarf that he had for a few years. He wrapped his scarf around Strifles's neck and hid his Jaguar ears underneath it, making the scarf like a hood.

  "There!" Tanjiro smiled confidently. "That should do for your head. Now for your paws and tail.." Tanjiro shuffled the pup in his arms. He took his haori off and wrapped the young pup in it. "Oo~" Strifles purred and sniffed the haori. "It's warm and it smells like pine!" Tanjiro chuckled as he cradled the pup in his arms. "I'm glad you like it."

  Tanjiro then turned his attention to Rui. "I also heard Miss Kocho wants to see you." Rui widened his eyes. "She does? Why?" His voice trembled. "Don't worry." Nezuko said softly. "She just wants to do an evaluation. Just to see how you're doing." Rui's tension seemed to ease. "Okay.. I'll go see her. She is at the Butterfly Estate?" The trio nodded. "Yes, but Aoi will help you get there. She's at the front door." Tanjiro explained. Rui nodded as he fidgeted with his haori.

  "It's okay." Nezuko gently took Rui's hand. "We'll lead you there." Rui smiled softly as he was led by Nezuko. They walked through the Infinity Castle with a steady pace. The group walked past many of the other half-demons, busily scurrying from one place to another. Eventually, they found themselves at the front door.

  Just like Tanjiro said, Aoi was right there, leaning against the wall of the Infinity Castle. Once she saw them, Aoi stood up straight and went to them. "Is he ready?" She asked in a flat tone. Rui shivered in fear, looking up at her. "He is." Tanjiro said before turning to him. "It's okay, Rui. She's not going to hurt you." Aoi nodded. "He's right. You're going to be okay." She stretched her arm out for him. Rui gently took her hand and waved at the group. "Good luck on your mission!" He said.

  "Good luck to you too!" Tanjiro called out as they waved, walking away. The twilight sky loomed above them as a chilly breeze rose in the air. "Winter must be coming." Zenitsu said to the others. "We better start stocking up soon, I guess it's a good thing we make good money." Tanjiro smiled as the others nodded.

  The atmosphere of the city was still very overwhelming to Tanjiro, despite him being here once before. He huffed and rumbled like an uncomfortable animal. Zenitsu seemed to share the sentiment as he tried leaning his head against Tanjiro's chest. Nezuko and Strifles were unfazed, but tired. Yet, the group prevailed.

  "Don't go into the alleyways." Tanjiro whispered, a shiver going down his spine. "Why not?" Zenitsu asked, absolutely oblivious. "You don't wanna know." The Demon King rumbled, gagging like a cat.

  Tanjiro sniffed the air, catching the smooth floral scent that was just the right one he was looking for. "This way!" Tanjiro quickened his pace, hoping to get to Tamayo's as quick as possible. Nezuko was able to catch up with ease and Strifles was enjoying the ride. Zenitsu, though, had a hard time keeping up. "Wait for me! I've got little legs!"

  "Lady Tamayo's mansion is hidden, so follow my lead." Tanjiro called out as they ran. He then took a swerve, heading into a wall. "Wait! You're gonna-" Zenitsu tried to call out. Instead of seeing him hit the wall, Tanjiro and Nezuko fazed right through it. "What the-?" Zenitsu skidded to a stop. "How are you able to do that?!"

  Nezuko peeked her head through the wall. "It's just Mister Yushiro's Blood Demon Art." Zenitsu slowly nodded. "That's really the only way that it makes sense." With a deep breath, Zenitsu walked through the wall.

  Zenitsu's jaw dropped when he saw the massive mansion before him. Tanjiro and Nezuko were already close to the front door. "How are they able able to hide this massive mansion?!" Zenitsu squeaked, raising his arms for emphasis. Nezuko turned around and deviously grinned. "Magic!"

  Someone must've heard the commotion as light footsteps could be heard from the over side of the door. Yushiro slid the door open with a furrowed brow until he saw who it was. "Ah! Young Kamados! It's nice to see you again." He smiled, waving at them. His eyes then laid on Zenitsu. "Is that your friend?"

  Tanjiro and Nezuko nodded as Zenitsu quickly walked to their side. "This is Zenitsu Agatsuma." Tanjiro introduced him. "He's a good friend of ours and fought hard against Muzan Kibutsuji." Yushiro nodded as he turned to Zenitsu. "Well it's nice to meet you, Young Agatsuma." Zenitsu waved shyly. "It's nice to meet you too."

  Yushiro turned his attention back to Tanjiro. "I'm guessing you must've come to see Lady Tamayo?" Tanjiro nodded. "Yes..about this little pup." He leaned his arms forward, showing Yushiro the small, sleeping bundle that was Strifles. Yushiro widened his eyes before clearing his throat. "Oh..of course..right this way." He then turned around, heading straight into the mansion.

  The group followed him. Yushiro's surprise when seeing Strifles created unease amongst them. Were they in over their heads? Was there much more that they were missing? Only this meeting could tell them. The group trailed nervously behind Yushiro as they made their way through the mansion.

  Eventually, Yushiro led them to the same room that Tanjiro spoke with them on his last visit. Tamayo was sitting on her knees, patiently waiting for them. She hummed softly when she saw them. "Lord Kamado, welcome." Tamayo bowed to them. "There's no need to treat me like royalty." Tanjiro sweetly smiled as both he and his group sat in front of her. "You have seniority over we and you know much more than I do."

  "Yes, but you are the new Demon King. I would much rather follow you than our last leader." Tamayo said with a calm smile. Tanjiro chuckled as he scratched the back of his neck. "Why, thank you." Tamayo cleared her throat, and the meeting began. "What exactly has troubled you?" She asked in a soft, motherly voice.

  Tanjiro set Strifles down in between him and Tamayo. "This is Strifles." Tanjiro explained. "We rescued him from his abusive brother, but we decided to come here because..we think he might be apart of a new species." Tamayo raised an eyebrow, slowly unwrapping Strifles from his bundle. "What do you mean by that?" Nezuko spoke up. "He has jaguar parts like a tail and ears. We originally thought that it was just because he was a demon, but he apparently had them as a human. He was told us that a ram demon said that he was half humanoid."

  Tamayo lightly gasped and stood still once she heard the word "humanoid." Strifles was completely unwrapped from Tanjiro's haori, his jaguar parts on full display. Tamayo put a hand to her mouth. "Humanoids?" She asked, slightly shaking. "Yes." Tanjiro said. "Do you know what they are?" Zenitsu clutched into Tanjiro's arm.

  Tamayo nodded slowly. "I thought they went extinct..." The group widened their eyes. "Extinct?!" They all said simultaneously. Strifles shook his head, waking from the loud noise. "Yes, extinct." Tamayo said as she pet Strifles. "Muzan used to talk about them...about their version of demons anyway."

  Everything felt so confusing, so they needed to take this one step at a time. "What is a humanoid?" Nezuko asked. "A humanoid is a hybrid of an animal and a human. It's basically if an animal was able to walk and talk and wear clothes." Strifles looked up at Tamayo and tilted his head. "This little pup here is only partially humanoid since he only has the ears, tail, and paws of one."

  "I see." Tanjiro said with a pant. "What about the demons?" Zenitsu asked. "You said something about them having demons." Tamayo nodded. "Yes..they did have demons. Muzan Kibutsuji used to vent about them. Here's the basic information that I know."

  "The humanoid demons were the original demons, existing long before Muzan and even me. They only feasted on humanoids and had the same weakness to the sun as full fledged demons did. Muzan hated them, saying that "they didn't care about their weakness, only about their desire to wreak havoc." I'm not sure why or how they created Muzan or even what they look like, but they are dangerous. Maybe even more so than the Kizuki. If one or more is still out there..may the gods save us all."

  Zenitsu trembled as he held onto Tanjiro. Nezuko whimpered in fear. Tanjiro held onto both of them to comfort them. Even Yushiro looked extremely frightened, placing a hand over his face. "So..the ram was a humanoid demon?" Strifles whimpered, tears streaming down his face. "I don't know." Tamayo gently let the pup's head. "I thought they all went extinct. Did he have any kenji on his tongue?"  Tanjiro gulped nervously. "He did..it said "Upper Beast One."

  Tamayo closed her eyes and sighed heavily. "So he's at least on par with Kokushibo.." She looked up at them with a determined look. "Now knowing that the humanoids may still exist, We need to find where they are. I'm not exactly sure where they might be, but it's our only shot of knowing more. Find them and sent out parties to hunt this ram down."

  Tanjiro nodded, holding both Zenitsu's and Nezuko's hands. "Understood. This may take a while since we don't know much about them. Do you know why they were thought to be extinct?" Tamayo shook her head. "That I don't know. You'll have to ask them."

  Strifles hobbled up to Tamayo. "Do you think they'll be able to do it?" Tamayo smiled sweetly at the pup. "Oh, little one. You have nothing to fear." She petted him gently. "They're strong and they'll keep you safe."

  "She's right." Tanjiro spoke softly. Strifles turned to face him. "We will defeat him and you'll never be hurt again. I promise." He said with a sweet smile. This seemed to reassure Strifles as he went over to Tanjiro and hugged him, which Tanjiro returned. "Thank you..big brother." This made Tanjiro smile softly as he hugged Strifles tightly. He looked like he was about to cry.

  Despite this cute moment, Zenitsu was able to hear a tinge of pain from Tanjiro's heart. He looked at him worriedly, but didn't speak. "I only hope the best for you." Tamayo said. "This will be difficult, but I know you can do it." Tanjiro looked up at her. "Thank you. Thank you so much."

  The walk home was dark and cold. Tanjiro, Nezuko, and Strifles were able to turn back into their demon appearances once they left the city. Strifles returned to his position as a bundle during the walk. Tanjiro and Nezuko could only think about the new discovery, but Zenitsu could only think about Tanjiro's wellbeing.

  They arrived at the Infinity Castle, shivering and tired. Tanjiro knocked on the door and was answered by a blushing Gyutaro. "What happened to you?" Zenitsu asked, raising an eyebrow. "Oh nothing." Gyutaro tried to chuckle it off, but Daki peered over his shoulder. "Brother's got a-" Gyutaro put a hand over her mouth. "Shut up, Ume. We just met." Daki then grinned mischievously as she skipped away.

  The group just looked confused. "What's going on?" Tanjiro asked. "Don't worry it's nothing important." Gyutaro shrugged his shoulders. "I do have something to tell you though. It's about Rui's evaluation." Strifles perked up from his bundle. "Is he alright?" Tanjiro asked. "Shinobu asked him several questions and had him do a few tasks. She diagnosed him with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder or OCD. I'm not quite sure what that is though."

  Tanjiro only grew more worried. "What can we do for him?" Gyutaro crossed his arms. "She's still looking into it since it's a new thing. Shinobu did say though that we need to understand why he gets anxious and help him from there. That's the best we can do." Strifles looked up at Gyutaro. "Will he be okay?" Gyutaro smiled and scooped up Strifles in his hand. "He will and he'll lead a happy life." He unfolded Tanjiro's haori and scarf from Strifles and handed it back to him.

  Tanjiro took the items and slowly put them on. "Thank you." Gyutaro looked Tanjiro up and down. "You look tired. Here, I can take this little one. You three need to go to bed." Tanjiro tilted his head. "Are you sure?" Gyutaro nodded as he held Strifles. "Yeah. Go on. Even kings need rest." The group smiled as they waved their friend goodbye. "Bye! Have a good night." Tanjiro called out as they walked away.

  The Kamados decided to let Zenitsu stay at their place for the night. He was just too frightful of running into Jackyll if he walked to his place alone. Tanjiro set out one of their guest futons in the living room. "You really didn't have to do that." Zenitsu said. "I could've done it myself." Tanjiro shook his head as he finished. "It's alright. You're our guest."

  Before Zenitsu could make a rebuttal, Tanjiro left the room and went into the kitchen. Instead, Nezuko walked in and headed over to the fireplace. She began to try to start a fire. Zenitsu sighed, thinking that this might be the perfect time to discuss his concerns. "I'm worried about Tanjiro." Zenitsu said softly so Tanjiro couldn't hear.

  Nezuko turned her head to face Zenitsu. "I know that he overworks himself. I'm trying to get him to stop that as much as you are." Zenitsu shook his head. "It's not just that. He sounds like he's in pain. It only has gotten worse since the battle with Ran'yō." Nezuko made a sad "hmm" as she worked. "He's probably just upset after seeing how Ran'yō treated Strifles."

  Zenitsu knew that he had to get to the heart of the issue. "How does he cope?" Nezuko turned to look at him with a raised eyebrow. "I mean it." Zenitsu kept pushing. "He's been through a lot and I have yet to see him truly deal with the pain." He looked down at the ground. "He seems to just..occupy himself."

  Nezuko looked back at the fireplace, not letting him know how she's feeling. "It's..fine.." Nezuko said softly. Zenitsu turned to her. "It's fine." Her voice has more conviction this time. "I try my best to help Tanjiro and I try to make sure that he's okay during the day." Zenitsu didn't really know if that truly answered his question. He did notice though that Nezuko was growing more distressed, so he decided not to push any further.

  "Alright. Thank you." He said softly as he tucked himself in the futon. Nezuko shut off the lamps and headed out. "Good night." She whispered. "Good night." Zenitsu said as he rolled over in his blanket.

 

  Zenitsu tossed and turned in his covers. A pained cry had filled his dreams and wouldn't leave him alone. It sounded like a wounded bear. One that was crying out for help. Zenitsu then bolted awake in a cold sweat. The noise wasn't just in his dreams. It was in the house.

  With trembling hands, Zenitsu picked up his blade and stood up. "Where's Tanjiro and Nezuko?" He thought to himself. Luckily, there was no creaking as Zenitsu stepped. Yet it did not ease the atmosphere. Based on the volume of the sound, Zenitsu was able to pinpoint it in one of the bedrooms.

  He tiptoed slowly through the dark house. The only light was the moonlight that poured in through the windows. Zenitsu gripped his sword tightly and he held his breath. "Tanjiro? Nezuko?" He whispered in a hushed voice. "Where are you?"

  The painful howl only grew louder and louder as Zenitsu came closer. He could tell that the creature was in incredible pain, which made his heart ache. Eventually, Zenitsu arrived at the intersection between Tanjiro's bedroom and Nezuko's. Zenitsu widened his eyes when he realized where the sound was coming from..Tanjiro's bedroom.

  He turned his head with a tremble. "Tanji?" Zenitsu choked, swallowing his fear. He couldn't hardly see anything inside the room. The limited light from the moon showed that there was no sign of a bear inside the room. However, the moon's rays shone down on Tanjiro, who was thrashing and squirming in his blankets. He was making the noises.

  "Tanji!" Zenitsu immediately dropped the sword and ran to Tanjiro's bedside. Tanjiro's breathing was harsh and irregular as tears streamed down his face. He roared in pain as Zenitsu went to him. This horrific sight broke his heart and so Zenitsu tried his best to help. He gripped one of Tanjiro's hands and lightly squeezed it. "Tanji. Look at me. Look at me."

  Tanjiro opened his eyes. His scarlet eyes shimmered with tears as he gazed upon Zenitsu. "It's okay, Tanjiro. I'm here. What's going on?" Tanjiro only made a pained mew. "Tanji?" Zenitsu raised an eyebrow, confused by the lack of a response. "He can't speak normally."

  Zenitsu turned to see Nezuko with a worried expression. She's carrying a tray with tea and a soft blanket was slung over her shoulder. "What?" Zenitsu said softly. "He can't speak any human language when he's having a panic attack." She approached her brother and wrapped the blanket around him. He sobbed harshly as she did so.

  Zenitsu moved closer to him, having a tight hold on his hand. "Breath, Tanjiro. It's okay. We're here." Tanjiro sniffed as he looked at his friend. He winced and whimpered with tears drenching his cheeks. "I know something was wrong..and I never did anything about it." Zenitsu said softly, guilt gripping at his heart. He looked at Nezuko. "How often does this happen?" Nezuko looked at the ground, ashamed. "Almost every night. He cries for them."

  Zenitsu widened his eyes. "Almost every night?! Why did nobody tell me?" Both Nezuko and Tanjiro winced, looking away. "Brother told me not to tell anyone. He didn't want to worry anyone." Zenitsu turned back to Tanjiro. He cupped his hands under Tanjiro's chin. "Why, Tanji? I know that you had good intentions, but you're just hurting yourself."

  Tanjiro mewed as he gently put his hand over Zenitsu's. "He says that he didn't want to worry you. You worry about so much already and he didn't want to stress anyone else out with his grief." Zenitsu sighed as he raised an eyebrow. "You can understand him?" Nezuko nodded. "The animal noises we make aren't just random noises. It's a language."

  Zenitsu gripped the edges of Tanjiro's haori. "But what about you?! You deal with the most stress out of all of us! Not only have you been beaten and battered, but you're also dealing with the HUGE responsibility of being the Demon King!" He let go of his friend's haori. "I'm sorry..I'm so sorry, Tanjiro." Zenitsu's voice trembled. "All those nights I slept near you..all those days I've spent by your side. I never heard your cries until now..I'm a terrible friend." Tanjiro mewed as a rebuttal. "He said that you aren't a terrible friend. You help to ease the pain." Nezuko sounded like she was about to cry.

  "Tanji..you need to take better care of yourself. You're in so much pain and you're too kind to let that continue." Tanjiro mewed and rumbled softly. "He says that doesn't want you to worry." Zenitsu shook his head. "You not taking care of yourself will worry us! We love you and we don't want to see you in pain." Zenitsu wrapped his arms around Tanjiro and he did the same. "This is what I've been telling you, brother. You care so much for others that you neglect to take care of yourself." Nezuko said as she petted his head.

  Tanjiro made a guilty rumble as he slightly tightened his hold on Zenitsu. "Tanjiro please..take care of yourself..not just for you, but for the others around you." Zenitsu looked up at him. "You deserve to be happy, just like everyone else." Tanjiro nodded as he nuzzled Zenitsu's cheek, seemingly soothed. He cradled Zenitsu in his arms as he made a lighthearted mew. "I think you're going to be his teddy bear for tonight." Zenitsu blushed slightly and smiled. "I don't mind that."

  A soft, delicate knock came from the front door. "I'll get it." Nezuko chirped as she got up. She walked with a quick pace through the dark house. Strangely when she opened the door, no one was there. Nezuko looked side to side, but found only a basket by her feet. In it was a small tray of rice crackers, a bottle of sweet honey, and a medium sized candle that smells like pine and frost.

  Nezuko picked the basket up and examined it. "Who made this?" She asked before pulling out a note. It read, "This is for Lord Tanjiro. I know that the battle must've hurt him, so here are some items to help calm him down." Nezuko smiled sweetly. "Whoever you are, thank you so much!" She called out before going back inside.

  In the trees, Daki sat watching her. Her yellow eyes gleaming in the moonlight. She sighed when she saw Nezuko bring the basket in. "Sleep well, young king. You deserve it." She said quietly. Daki then used her Obi sashes to sneak off into the night.

Summary:

Several days after the Gravity Pillar Bri Rengoku and her family had held a funeral for her husband, Kyojuro, she received an urgent summons to the Master’s house. She hoped it was information on where Upper 3 was so that she could end that miserable bastard’s life with her own blades. It had been something far different.

She was not sure if it was for better or for worse but it turned out that the reason her family had not had a body to bury was that there had not been a body to bury.

Akaza had turned Kyojuro into a demon.

Chapter 1: One Foot Infront Of The Other

Chapter Text

Bri glanced at the young man walking next to her, like so many of the members of the Corps, he seemed far older than just 16. Tanjiro was a pleasant enough young man. He reminded Bri of Senjuro. Bubbly, happy, talkative. Her heart twinged at the thought of the condition she had left her young brother in law. But, if all worked out, soon things would be better. It killed her not to tell him and her father in law where she was going in such a hurry, but no one could know outside the few who already did. 

Several days after Bri and their family had ‘buried’ her husband, Kyojuro, she received an urgent summons to the Master’s house. She hoped it was information on where Upper 3 was so that she could end that miserable bastard’s life with her own blades. It had been something far different.

She was not sure if it was for better or for worse but it turned out that the reason her family had not had a body to bury was that there had not been a body to bury. 

Akaza had turned Kyojuro into a demon. His blood had mixed with Kyojuro’s when his arm impaled him. Muzan, thrilled to have a pillar turned, allowed the transformation to happen. 

Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu had decided to save his life, fashioning a basket like Tanjiro had for Nezuko and a bamboo muzzle like hers as well, and getting him to a demon doctor named, Tamayo, who the Master had heard of for many years. 

Tanjiro had come back to the mansion and told the Master what had happened. He had come to tell the Master as well what Kyojuro had said when he thought he was speaking his final words. 

If the Master decided that it was better for no one to know that the Flame Hashir was still alive, Tanjiro wanted his loved ones to at least have his final words for comfort. 

Bri had asked to hear them, even knowing now that he was alive. His last words to her had been that he loved her and to remind her to keep living for the both of them. 

She was startled from her thoughts when the cat they were following disappeared. “Uhm, Tanjiro… I think we lost the cat.”

“Nope, we follow him through. Come on,” he said, taking her hand and pulling her through after placing a talisman on his head. 

Bri was stunned when a giant, several story home came into view. Complete with cherry blossom trees surrounding it. “What is this place?”

“This is Lady Tamayo’s house. It’s hidden with Yushiro’s magic,” Tanjiro explained. 

“Wow… this is blood demon art?” Bri asked, in absolute awe.

“It is. Lady Tamayo’s is a scent blood demon art. It’s toxic to humans so if she ever casts it near you make sure to cover your mouth. She would only do it in an absolute emergency, I promise,” he reassured. 

Bri realized her hesitancy must have shown on her face. “I’m just… This is insane… There’s so much more to blood demon art than we understand…” She paused as she thought of something. “Does Kyojuro have blood demon art?”

“Not that we know of yet,” Tanjiro said. “It took Nezuko time to figure it out. But then again, she was asleep for 2 years. Mr. Rengoku was only asleep for 10 days.”

“Yes, you said that’s how you were able to muzzle him and transport him so easily. Is he… still wearing the muzzle?”

“No, he bit threw it the second he was awake.”

“Was he… trying to feed?” Bri asked as they drew closer to the house.

“No. He just wanted to talk,” Tanjiro said with a huge smile.

Bri laughed, “That was my next guess. The first was only because Kyojuro is normally starving when he wakes up so I assumed this would have been like that but many times worse with what I have come to understand a demon goes through upon waking from their transformation.”

“Lady Tamayo was very impressed by how much of his faculties Mr. Rengoku held on to this early on in his change.  Including his adamantness that he would not eat humans to survive,” Tanjiro paused. 

He looked at Bri with a concerned look upon his face. “Remember… he cannot remember what anyone looks like… he started remembering names of those most important - you, Senjuro, Mr. Shinjuro and Lady Ruka. He only remembered us so quickly because we had been on the mission with him. But he could not recall more than your names and your relationships to him.”

She surprised Tanjiro with a hug, pulling him tight. “I am prepared, but thank you for the reminder. As hard as it will be for my husband to not recognize me when he sees me, I am hopeful he will remember me clearly in other ways. The important ways. Like how much I loved him and treasured him. If he can recall even that, then I will know that I loved him even half as well as he has loved me. If he can recall that, I know we will be okay.”

Tanjiro hugged her tighter. “I understand now why the Master said you needed to come. You’re soul mates. I can feel it.”

Bri sniffled. She pointed to a small nichirin pendant she wore that was the same shape as Kyojuro’s sword guard.  “Twin flames is what his mother used to call us. Mr. Kanamori, the swordsman who crafted Kyojuro’s nichirin sword and my nichirin tessen made one of these for each of us when we got married. The first time we had gone to the village together, we had told him that story and he had remembered it.”

“How long have you known each other?” Tanjiro asked as they neared the porch.

“All of our lives. My family moved in next door to his when he was 9 months old and I was 6 months old,” she said softly. She sucked in a deep breath and let it out slowly, steeling herself. Her husband was alive. That was all that mattered. “Alright, let's do this.”
