#Kny parent headcanons

[gilded-sunrays]

Hi,hope you're doing well <3. Could I request some headcanons of Yoriichi as a father? I hope it isnt too much. Thank you!

Father!Yoriichi | Headcanons

Pairings⌇Yoriichi and child's name [c/n], Yoriichi × spouse!Reader A/n⌇no problem! In fact, I was actually planning to write something like this eventually, so I'm glad you asked!!

𖤐ˎˊ˗Masterlist

▪︎Ever since you and Yoriichi had a child, you could clearly notice him smiling a lot more than he used to.

▪︎Upon the birth of your child, your husband would embrace them tenderly, pledging to dedicate his life to ensuring the happiness and safety of both you, and your children.    

▪︎Yoriichi absolutely adores seeing your child laugh, and he would go to great lengths to bring a smile to their face—whether it's through tickling, playfully hiding their face with a little blanket, chasing, or playing a fun game of peekaboo.

▪︎With that being said, his heart would break whenever he'd see his child crying. Instantly, he would scoop them up into his strong arms, gently walking around, shushing them.

▪︎Get ready for lots and lots of cosy family snuggles! Picture you and Yoriichi on either side of your futons, with your little ones nestled right in the middle while you're all sleeping.

▪︎In fact, Yoriichi really enjoys napping with the child resting on his chest; he finds it deeply comforting. It’s even nicer when you’re sleeping next to him as well.

▪︎Yoriichi would surely be a caring and gentle parent. However, that doesn't mean that he would let your child walk all over him. There would be moments when Yoriichi can show a surprisingly firm side. 

▪︎Although if your child ever gives him those adorable puppy eyes and nudges him a bit more, he would surely give in.

▪︎With that being said, Yoriichi would be willing to play along with whatever your child asks. Since your home is quite high up in the mountains there aren't many kids around, which might leave your child feeling a bit lonely.

▪︎So, you can expect to find your husband wrapped up in tea parties, playing pretend such as house--house or even on his fours, pretending to be a "horsie" while your child sits on his back. 

▪︎In contrast to his own childhood, Yoriichi would love to take your little one on delightful outdoor adventures, exploring the world and enjoying little walks together.

▪︎There was also a particular small paddy field near your house down the mountain, where many tadpoles thrived. He frequently took your child there to enjoy watching them.   

▪︎When it came to self-defence, Yoriichi wouldn't bring up the existence of demons or his job as a demon hunter to the child—not until they were old enough. He wanted to shield his child's innocence from the terror these creatures could bring.   

▪︎Yoriichi would always stand by his child, not only against the demons but in every situation. Whether it was to shield them from harm, to provide comfort in tough times, or to simply have heartfelt conversations.

[colourstreakgryffin]

I saw that requests were open again, so I was wondering if I could request some hc's for a father Yoriichi and child reader

As you wish! This is insanely cute and I love iiittt~! Yoriichi is best papa and you can’t convince me otherwise

Father! Tsugikuni Yoriichi

Yoriichi was so unbelievably relieved that you survived the demon attack. You were a tiny helpless newborn, but your mother saved your life by hiding you away. Yoriichi managed to dispose of the demon and thought he lost you too but he heard your crying

Yoriichi’s heart exploded as he embraced your little body and cried his heart out. His child is alive, he still has somebody he loves dearly, though, he lost his wife to have his child

Yoriichi is very protective over you, no matter your age. He lost his wife to a demon attack and you barely survived that same attack so he must use all his strength to keep you safe

Yoriichi isn’t use to be affectionate, but for you, he’ll give you kisses, hugs and so much more. He especially likes cuddling you as he cooks dinner. He could never feel more at peace then having his young child sleeping in his lap

Yoriichi doesn’t like talking to you about his job. He’d much prefer for you to think that he is in a safer environment then he actually is. As to not worry or scare you, he lies

Yoriichi enjoys going out to the fleet markets with you at times. He may be a silent and private man but seeing the way you awe at every sight and point out people’s kimonos, he just feels alive

Yoriichi feels bad about leaving you every single day to complete his samurai duties. He would prefer to bring you with him but with all the demons prowling, he’d be putting you in danger

Yoriichi’s love is completely endless, he can’t bring himself to merely imagine a world without you, his beloved baby. He has lost a lot in his life so he’ll make sure to keep you

Yoriichi is the type of father to study all your friends and proclaim ‘you can’t date anybody until you’re 50’. He isn’t being totally serious but he hates when any girl/boy try hit on you. You’re too young!

Yoriichi has become quite organised and hygienic since he had you. He takes care of all your belongings and cleans the house regularly so you can’t lose anything or get hurt. It’s another form of his protectiveness

Yoriichi is definitely a playful parent. He can play imagine quite well, and he likes going out to explore with you in the nearby woods

Yoriichi remembers everything you like all the time and he’ll always cook your favourite dinners as to make each day special for his precious child. He doesn’t need a reason, he just does it

Yoriichi has specific times for you that he never fails to stick to. Times to eat, times to play, times to go to bed and days to go shopping. This way, you’re very healthy and have good habits

Yoriichi is a good father, who is devoted to his child. He won’t let them go, he won’t let them get hurt and he’ll be with them until the very end. He needs his child to keep feeling such peace, happiness and love

“You’re my baby and you’ll always have my heart, darling. My purpose is to keep you safe and happy now, you see? I’m glad you understand, love. Do you wanna go home now? I’ll make your favourite”

Headcanons:

From 1 to 10, how good parents would the Uppermoons be? Gn reader. (I warn you, you might not like some results, I'm trying to be as objective and close to canon as posible).

Warnings: Mentions of infanticide, Mentions of child-neglect, Implied child abuse and Unhealthy parent-child relationships.

Gyutaro:

He raised his sister by his own since he was 13 and barely had resources. No matter what, his child will grow up feeling safe, loved and content even in the worst of places. They would not have any self-steem issues and would trust Gyutaro anything, they would not hide if they need help nor feel afraid to ask for it. Gyutaro would be both protective and permissive, he would let the child do anything they want as long as they don't get hurt. His actions would be always loving and gentle.

The problem is that Gyutaro would not teach them to be kind, compassionate, or good in general. Because how he grew up he would raise the to survive and step over others, so his children would not be good making friends and would probably become bullys in the best case scenario. Between this and the fact Gyutaro would grow way too attached for it to be healthy, there would be a high dependance between the child and parent in this relationship.

You would be able to intervene (Gyutaro would support you and help you as he can even if he didn't feel you were doing something necesary), it would be your role to teach social skills and values, besides setting more limits. (Because of this you have to be understanding when Gyutaro becomes the favorite parent.) But the child will be happy and mostly healthy.

8/10

Gyokko:

You do know this mf eats children, right? Gyokko would kill them the second they don't appreciate his art the way he wants them to, even at an infant age. He never wanted children to begin with, he thinks that, at worst, they are a burden and waste of both time and space, at best, they are dinner.

There is nothing you can do about it, overall it's a...

-100/10

Hantengu:

One extra point base because he canonly had children, so he probably knows more or les what must be done. The problem is that he would become frustrated and paranoid rather easy. At worst he will kill them, at best he will leave them for big periods of time and come back to see how are they doing every once in a while, try to be a parent again, and then leave again to make this circle. He tries but he is not in the mental position to raise anything.

If you are there he would not kill the child, since he would need the support from the clones and they would not do it, but would still leave everything to you at the end of the day.

2/10

Sekido:

Sekido cares a lot, he loves his child, but he is not good at demostrating it. He would have an acting role into parenting, but his language in general is very aggressive, so his child might grow up fearing him. He would take care and protect the child with everything and would teach him everything he knows and his values. The children would not feel safe to ask for help to Sekido, but he would always know by one look if something is wrong and probably handle it by his own.

If your teachings are against his or he thinks they are not necesary he will be actively against you efforts with the child, qnd would be loud about it. The child would probably end very similar to him, and he would be showing the pride he would feel about it. Sekido's children would grow into responsable, physically healthy, powerful and angry but functional adults, but it would be questionable if they would ever feel loved by him, but they knew they were protected and cared for. You are still the favorite parent.

5/10

Karaku:

He is very liked by his child, unlike they know Karaku is likes them. The problem is that Karaku would be paying way more attention to you than to them, would not take effort in teaching and raising them. He would play with them and stay around, so he would inevitably set an example, but not good ones. He would treat his children more as if they were his friends, but apoiling them a lot.

He would be more of a silly older brother than a parent, leaving everything to you. He would not stop you from raising them as you see fit and will collaborate in whatever instruction you tell him (as long as you remind him constantly). Also, his children would not be afraid to ask him for advice (don't let them trust those advises) and Karaku would be willing to help and protect, but in exchange he is the dad that can't answer a single question about the child but still manage to be their favorite parent.

4/10

Urogi:

Again, Hantegu in canon had children and I would bet my tongue that it was Urogi's personality the one he showed around them. He knows all of the important information, actively reaches for them and makes sure to show affection as much as he can, both verbally and physically, he also would try to teach them some values and skills and would be 100% invested in their hapiness.

Most of the time he would take his child off your hands and play with them all day and cuddle them very late at night, but he is not exactly the most responsible or the best role model. He does loses them and find them himself from time to time, their manners are very bad and you barely have time to teach them anything before Urogi takes them again. He turns them into little savages, but they are emotionally healthy, soacially mature and happy, the children feel very loved and taken care of by him. Urogi is also the parent who comforts them with junk food and sweets, paying attention to favorites, so he easily becomes the favorite.

If it wasn't because of sometimes being too carefree with them and being unable to teach them to function properly in a civilization he would be the perfect parent. Also a point less for not letting you do anything, barely letting the children form a bond with you without him in between.

7/10

Aizetsu:

Aizetsu would love to have a child with you, but he would alse be very scared. He would never want to hurt a child of his, so he comes distant at times. This makes the children to not be comfortable asking for help to him but not really afraid to do so, even though most of the time they feel Aizetsu won't be able to help (he doesn't give a confident vibe). Everytime is a surprise to everyone, even to Aizetsu, when he does help, he also tries to talk to them, knows how to affection amd teaches them values ("do not make other people sad or angry").

The main problem is that it's never by his own accord, he can't do anything before asking you if it's ok or if he should do it. He trust that you know better than him even if you tell him you don't. If you don't motivate him everytime to parent the children he will be too afraid of doing something wrong to do it. He is still around even when not parenting and never hides his loce for the children, so they do grow healthy and loved even by their clearly hesitant parent.

6/10

Nakime:

Oh, Nakime does NOT want children, at all. She would abandon the to you and never see them again. She has one point because at least she would never try to kill them, but this woman is child-free. That is not the life she wants and it's not the life she is going to set for. Try to convince her otherwise and you will never see her again. Her house, her rules.

1/10

Akaza:

Akaza doesn't like children, until he has his. He becomes a protector, a provider and a guardian to them. He loves them and shows it as much as he can with both words and actions. When they are sick or need something he jumps into taking care of them. He also teach them values and skills, tell them to choose wisely their company, doesn't let them get hurt, is always present, makes sure they stay healthy and makes sure to know them well.

The main problem is that Akaza is overprotective, he acts as if they will die the second he leaves them alone, and the children feel that they lack freedom and space. He brushes you off if you try to intervine, ans since he is honest with his opinion of weaklings their children fear slightly afraid to ask for help, even if Akaza already has most things covered in a daily basis. That is also a problem since they don't start dealing with their own problems until they are older, making learning more difficult.

Akaza is a strict parent, caring but can be a bit too much at times. His children will grow into nothing but respectable adults, but they would be way too sheltered, even though they would be aware Akaza loves them and is trying his best.

7/10

Douma:

Douma is good pretending, he is good listening, he is good parent, or at least he is good at faking being one to everyone, including his child. While he would not help them, his children would be ok with telling Douma his problems, and Douma would listen and validate their feelings, but also would send them to just be happy in his cult. He would not do anything bad to them, but he also would not be actively doing anything good for them. He would leave them to you and trust you to be the parent, since he is barely aware he should step in as one.

Still, the child does view him as a parent and love him as such. They feel loved, protected and even spoiled since Douma would at least play with them and make sure they not only meet their basic needs inside his cult, but would also show his favoritism to them over other children at the cult and make sure to give them things they want once in a while. He just never make a mistake with them, and he can answer for them even if he is not attached or trying to parent them. There is also the fact that for some reason the children would feel the need to constantly change the answer of who is the favorite parent, depending on who is asking.

5/10

Kokushibou:

Kokushibou DID abandon his children and wife to chase after Yoriichi, remember? He clearly is not the type to form a bond with his own damn children. He would teach them, at chance only the eldest son, the way of a samurai. Besides that.... nothing, it's all up to you. While he would guide them to be disciplined and respectful he would alse preasure them a lot, and when he is not doing so he wouldn't even be around.

You would be the only parent, the children would view Kokushibou more as a sensei than anything else, so unless it's an issie with their learning they would not trust their needs to him whe he is, and he would not protect them or help them if it's not related to a sword fight.

He would set some positive examples and impacts at least.

My son in law

When he was slowly cleaning that young man, his heart was thorn apart. He was small, his frame wasn't as typical 21 years old man, he had met most of her daughter's prospective husband, if it being honest, everyone was quite though with huge frame as a man. However, here, this small young man, who never questioning his daughter strength and physical, accepting his daughter as she was, was covered with scars, and his old scar across his mouth, again, making his heart aches.

"Iguro sama didn't have living family. To be honest, he got a very disturbing history..."

The story of Iguro family, obviously shocking him and make him shivered to the bone. He couldn't believe some people who bring a little child to this world, like him and his wife, could ever treat their own child like this.

The water in a small basin, turned red with blood. He immediately changed it.

'Obanai kun, if you weren't born with respect and love, i want you to leave this world with respect and love. I'm sorry we met this way, i wish we can met, and drink together, i have a lot of gratitude for you.'

As he cleaned his face, with three huge scar across his face, and the old scar, the 'gift' from his own family, he realized, Iguro was really a good looking man despite his wound. As his face is now clean from blood, he looked so in peace, like a sleeping child. Mr Kanroji continued to prepare his son in law -as he called him with perfume and others. 'You will meet Him, you need to look good,"

He wore him, a nice white kimono, a grand extravagant one, almost look like a wedding kimono, ironed too. As in his coffin, a numbers of Sakura flowers, lily were put together. He was also received a few of Iguro's belongings, his sword which already broken, his uniform and the exchanged letters that his daughter wrote for him. He carefully put them in the coffin.

As he close the coffin, he said.

'Obanai kun, my child. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for taking care of my daughter till the very end, protecting others with all your might.

I hope you'll stay by her side, in heaven, and even in the future. Obanai kun, a good people will be bless by God. You are the most respectable man that i ever knows. I hope we can meet again and perhaps we can have a good drinks '

A breeze of a sudden wind blowing a piece of leaf beside him, he took it. 'Its a promise then' he whispered.

The funeral procession were held in gloomy yet peaceful manner. It's was raining that day. The lovers leaving behind their loved one peacefully, and Mr. Kanroji hugging his wife.

"it's okay, Mitsuri will not be alone"

basic modern au portrait with the outfit i designed forever ago i missed drawing it  😭

[blondthndrninja]

Headcanon that if Rengoku lived he would try to be the ultimate wingman for Tanjiro when it comes to Kanao...even though he’d probably come off as overwhelming.

Rengoku: My boy! I saw you talking to Shinobu’s tsuguko earlier! Do you like her?

Tanjiro: *blushes* W-what?...um...well...I

Rengoku: You should ask her out! 

Tanjiro: I...I don’t think that’s a good idea...

Rengoku: Why not? 

Tanjiro: W-Well...it’s just....

Rengoku: I see, you’re just very shy. That’s no problem! * goes right up to Kanao while dragging Tanjiro along* Excuse me young lady! My boy here likes you very much and would love to take you on a date! Will you please consider it?

CHAPTER SELECT       ➤ ???       ➤ ???       ➤ is it not enough i'm happy? 

i made the team! i get to play! i get to be their setter!

     how brightly she shined as she told her parents of her success, of how she worked hard for months to obtain that starting position, of the excitement she finally felt again. they were happy -- why wouldn’t they be? for years, makiko hadn’t touched an extracurricular, nor had she dedicated herself to anything worthwhile. they were relieved to see her smile, to hear her talk so animatedly about something.

     but makiko had been naïve. they always want more from her. 

     oh, won’t it be nice if you’re captain next year? her mother mentions it more than once, likes to talk about how yuuta was the basketball captain his senior year, and makiko tries to smile and move on. she doesn’t care if she becomes captain or not, doesn’t believe it’s something to entertain when she’s still building trust with her new teammates. she just wants her team to do well, to enjoy themselves and feel good about what they’re doing. what does it matter if she’s the one leading in the end?

     her father thinks her coach is too easy on her and her teammates, mistakes allowing the girls’ room to learn and trust each other as a lack of initiative. never mind they’ve won every game up until now -- that coach rubs him the wrong way, and maybe he’ll have a talk with her. makiko knows this comes from a place of love, that he only wants the best for her, but she can’t help the scowl and harsh protest that leaves her mouth. he scolds her for talking to him that way and tells her she won’t succeed if she doesn’t have someone to push her.

     makiko shuts up, apologizes, and clenches her fists so tightly that her palms sting. 

they push their own sense of ambition onto her, yet they don’t believe she can do this on her own? that she can’t be like her siblings like they’ve always wanted her to be unless someone holds her hand? what a fucking joke.

     her mother brings up becoming captain again one night, and makiko just cannot take it anymore.

     “ is it not enough i’m having fun? ”

     quiet but sharp, makiko’s words halt the conversation at the dinner table. she feels yuki’s stunned gaze, but she doesn’t look away from her plate. mrs. furukawa asks, “ what? ”

     " is it not enough i’m having fun? is it not enough i’m happy? ”

     “ makiko--- ” 

     “ no, tell me! is it more important that i’m successful, or more important that i’m happy? ”

     it comes pouring out, every ounce of resentment makiko has ever felt for being compared to her siblings, for being taught that unless she was the best, she wasn’t good enough. it’s reflected in her eyes as she glowers at her mother, shoulders tense and one hand clutching her chopsticks with a death grip.

     “ where is this coming from? ” her father has the nerve to look confused, and makiko scoffs.

     “ how many times have you compared me to yuki and yuuta now? a hundred times, a thousand? it isn’t a crime to lack ambition, dad! ”

     " we just want you to be successful, makiko, ” her mother interjects, sounding stern despite her glassy eyes. “ your siblings never needed us to push them much, but you... ”

     “ i don’t need you to push me. you pushing me has only ever made me feel inadequate, you know that? you put my siblings on this pedestal and expected me to match that -- of course i stopped trying! ”

     chest heaving, heart racing, head spinning --- when did she stand? she’s trembling, she realizes, and she can’t seem to get her breathing under control. yuki reaches out to her, but makiko recoils ( don’t touch me or i’ll break ) . it seems her parents are stunned into silence, though makiko doesn’t take the time to look at them. she doesn’t see the guilt as it sinks in what they’ve done to her. no, she has an overwhelming need to get away, far away, and rushes from the dining room and out the front door. she can’t be sure who it is screaming after her. her mind can’t focus on anything else but being anywhere but here.

     she’s done. this is the last time she runs away from a problem. in a few hours, makiko will come home, sit down, and talk to her parents. but she needs this right now, a small reprieve after finally finding her voice and exhausting it.

     as makiko collapses against a tree ( of course she finds herself at the community center, where it all began ) , she makes herself a promise: she won’t ever be that timid, shell of a girl again.

UBINEONS THIS IS SO CANON FOR HIM I LOVE THIS🩷🩷

Hello! Could I please request some headcanons of how Kokushibo would be as a father? (Psst im the same anon that requested foe yoriichi) i just loved your writing and i was hoping if you could write the same for koku! I hope it is alright, thank you <3

[A/N: awh tysm, anon!! I'm so glad you enjoyed them, and no problem! I hope you enjoy this one just as much! <33]

Father!Kokushibo | Headcanons

| Type: Family fluff 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦💞 | Warnings: None | WC: 1.4k | A/n: Kokushibo and F!y/n are married | c/n: child's name is a half demon |

𖤐ˎˊ˗Masterlist

̗̀➛ Kokushibo may present himself as a stoic father, seemingly cold and unapproachable. But deep down, there would lie a deep affection for his child, even if he may not outwardly show it.

̗̀➛ Being centuries old, living through countless battles and having endured countless battles and fights with a heart of stone in this harsh world, Kokushibo surprisingly had a tender side when it came to his child.

̗̀➛ It was something he himself wouldn't have expected; starting a family was the last thing on his mind, yet here he was, nurturing and providing for both you and your little one.

̗̀➛ This was particularly noticeable in his behaviour towards his newborn just days after birth.

̗̀➛ Although Kokushibo seemed somewhat hesitant, he genuinely seemed relish the moments spent conversing with your baby. Tenderly holding the infant in his arms, cradling them and taking them to small walks, showing them the world outside.

̗̀➛ You had observed numerous parents engaging in conversation with their infants, so it wasn't shocking for Kokushibo wanting to do the same. What caught you off guard was how, unlike other parents who used a sweet tone and "baby talk" with their infants, your husband actually talked with your baby as if they were colleagues in a business meeting. His tone was softer, but his way of communicating remained serious—

"The demons are becoming less formidable compared to their previous state, they resemble nothing more than untamed beasts.. Is it not regrettable, c/n?"

*cue baby noises*

̗̀➛ Considering that your child was a half-demon, they would require human flesh to survive. For that, Kokushibo would seek out the finest humans, providing only the most exquisite flesh for his offspring. In fact, he would also bring Marechi, as it posed no challenge for someone of his caliber. Occasionally, he would even bring the blood of an upper moon, ensuring the very best for his little one.

̗̀➛ At night, when he takes on the responsibilities as the uppermoon one, he often has many obligations that keep him away. However, he will ensure that you and the baby are safe in secure quarters, under his watchful protection. As a father and husband, Kokushibo is incredibly devoted and protective of those he loves.

̗̀➛ Soon, time would fly by, and your little one would soon transition from a baby to a child. You would notice Kokushibo becoming increasingly composed and even a bit stricter than they were in their infancy.

̗̀➛ Kokushibo would have gotten clothes tailored specifically for them; the patterns would be similar to his own to symbolise that they were his child, along with a matching ponytail to his. [If the child happened to be a girl, I imagine her hairstyle resembling that of Uta or Akeno (his mother) as in a low ponytail, but ultimately, I think that would be up to you.]

̗̀➛ It was a family legacy of his, of the Tsugikuni clan. Although he had left it all behind long ago, the customs and values remained deeply ingrained in him.

̗̀➛ Kokushibo would definitely introduce his child to the basics of swordsmanship early on, including a basic stance and how to correctly hold a katana.

̗̀➛ And if the child happened to be interested in the art of the sword and aspired to be a samurai, he would undoubtedly feel a swell of pride in his heart. After all, it was only natural for them, being of his lineage, to be drawn to the art of wielding a sword.

̗̀➛ Kokushibo would begin training his child; being the strongest and most experienced samurai in history, you could bet that the teachings would be of the highest quality.

̗̀➛Along with weilding the katana, Kokushibo would also be adamant that his child received a proper education. For that, he would entrust you to teach the child to read and write properly, how to write poems [he could step in if you aren't good at it], and whatnot.

̗̀➛ If you had a daughter, Kokushibo would rely on you to guide her in proper conduct. On the other hand, if you had a son, he would take it upon himself to teach him. [Considering his traditional samurai beleifs]

̗̀➛ There would be many things Kokushibo would teach your child—introducing anything and everything he could. One of which included—

"Here.. I wanted to share this with you.."

̗̀➛ 'Go'. Aside from all the trainings and whatnot, Kokushibo would enjoy spending time playing strategic board games with his young one. He didn't just play; he carefully watched every move his child made, trying to understand their thought process. This way, he could anticipate their strategies, pushing them further to think even more critically.

̗̀➛ Kokushibo would provide feedback on every move his child made. If there was a mistake, he would express his disappointment, at times suggesting alternative strategies and what else could have been done. On the other hand, if the move was clever, he would offer praise.

̗̀➛ Despite this, Kokushibo always found a way to twist the game in his favour, making it nearly impossible to win against him each time.

̗̀➛ Kokushibo would not only be a father but also a teacher, quick to teach your young one.

̗̀➛ Unlike his own father, Kokushibo would be much more understanding. He would be strict in terms of his child's behaviour, how they conducted themselves, and even in the way of the sword. However, he would also allow them the freedom to explore their interests and to do whatever they wished, recognising the limitations he faced during his own upbringing.

̗̀➛ As for the breathing styles, Kokushibo would ideally want his child to learn sun breathing, but since he couldn't master it himself, he would opt to teach them moon breathing instead. If the child wasn't strong enough, he would be disappointed but wouldn't mind too much. In fact, he would encourage them to perfect their breathing techniques no matter what style they used.

̗̀➛ Kokushibo's approach to training was quite rigorous. He pushed his child to their limits with each exercise, ensuring that consistency and discipline were maintained. While he provided the training, the actual learning and understanding were left to his child. He didn't believe in spoon-feeding knowledge. After all, it was important for them to grow to be independent and make their own decisions.

̗̀➛Many a times, Kokushibo would take your child to fight demons and train with them [perhaps even fight a hashira if they encountered one]. He would stand back in the distance and observe them silently. He would not intervene in any way; whatever decisions the child made were theirs and not his; each mistake was a lesson, something he would remind them of after the fight, incorporating those lessons into their training for improvement.

̗̀➛ Kokushibo would nurture and raise his child in such a way that they would be disciplined and incredibly determined, striving for excellence much like their own father.

̗̀➛ Speaking of determined, there was a time, however, when your child would not eat or drink, training and pushing themselves to the maximum, which caused you a great deal of concern. Kokushibo, however, appeared rather unfazed by this, expressing that it was commendable how seriously his child was taking the art of swordsmanship and that he even felt moved.

̗̀➛ But then those few hours stretched into many, and nearly a whole day had passed without your child taking even a sip of water. This was the moment when Kokushibo would finally step in—

"Enough.." The demon stood beside his child, his six eyes fixed intently on them. The child was bleeding from their hands, their muscles worn out and pushed to the limit. "No.. I must not give up..!" Just as the child prepared to swing the wooden sword again, before they could even react, the sword would suddenly be snatched and tossed aside, landing far from reach. "There.. is no benefit in continuing. Your body.. has already reached it's maximum exertion. Whatever you are practicing now is pointless.. rest now and continue tomorrow." "But I need to perfect my—" "You are doing yourself more harm than good.. the state you are in.. you will not be able to practice tomorrow.. an entire day.. would be wasted. It would disrupt your progress. Is that.. what you want?"

̗̀➛ In conclusion, Kokushibo would definitely be a strict father . This means you might find yourself being the more nurturing parent.

̗̀➛ But that is not to say he cannot be compassionate; deep down, he holds great love for his child. His strictness stems from the fact that he wants to see his child excel and be the utmost best; even surpass him one day.

we got married!

request: can i request headcanons of yoriichi from demon slayer getting married to reader?

# tags: headcanon; current marriage relationship; romance; fluff; soft!yoriichi; kisses; sfw

includes: gender neutral reader ft. yoriichi tsugikuni {kny}

author’s note: sorry, anonnie, that you waited so long :( love u!

↘ Yoriichi is a traditional man who doesn’t show much emotion.

↘ You were the only person around him who got to know him enough to make dark-haired trust you fully and give you his uncertain, delicate heart.

↘ Your tenderness, intelligence, and knowledge of many things (like such as cooking, reading books, writing, growing plants or caring for animals) impressed him, and although you weren’t as physically strong as he was, nor could you use melee weapons, your strong heart and soul gave him a lot of support; physical and mental. Especially mental, in these hard times.

↘ It took a while, but one day, when you were preparing dinner for your boyfriend (vegetables with chicken and rice, as well as some tasty side dishes), moving your hips slightly to the rhythm of birdsong and sizzling meat, Yoriichi just came up to you, hugged you from behind and asked if you would be his forever.

↘ He swore to you his eternal love and faithfulness, and promised to protect you and be by your side in times of poverty, illness, and even war. Of course, you agreed without hesitation, and sealed your decision with a long, passionate kiss and long, long hug.

↘ Then you two had dinner for the first time as a full-fledged engaged couple, and indulged in some alcohol and a piece of cake you had baked the day before.

↘ Yoriichi was happy, you knew it even though he didn’t show it as always.

↘ Your wedding wasn’t spectacular; your beloved’s older brother appeared on it together with his long-term partner. Yoriichi's parents and one friend with his wife and two-year-old child also arrived. From your side came: your two friends, their partners and children and of course your closest family (father, mother, siblings)..

↘ Nevertheless, delicious food and a dozen or so bottles of sake made the intimate event livelier and more pleasant. Everyone spent time as if there was no tomorrow.

↘ It was a successful day... The wedding night was also very successful, if you know what I mean.

[xjulixred45x]

I saw your request were open can I please request a female douma in jjk.

For getou and gojo please her and gojo having the beautiful eyes and cocky attitude and douma and getou and her both owing a cult this idea is living rent free in my head.

Oh lalala~ this is interesting! I'm in!

SatoSugu x Douma Like-Reader

Genre: headcanons

Reader: Female

Warnings: The reader has the past and attitude of Douma from KNY, that is, she has difficulty understanding and expressing emotions. apart from a shady past and is worshiped by a cult. she has rainbow eyes and gray hair, if a reader with a specific appearance bothers you, don't read this. CULTS AND WHAT THEY CONVINCE, The reader and Gojo share a neuron, and they are horrible with their emotions, I think that's all.

Since you were born, you have been the center of attention in your family.

You were born with eyes of all the colors of the rainbow and gray hair. Your family was amazed by this.

Thanks to this, your family believed that they had been blessed by the gods, that YOU had been blessed by the gods and that you could communicate with them, so they started a cult in your name to be able to worship the idea they had of you.

You, being a small and innocent girl, did not understand any of this, but you acted how they wanted you to act to make them happy. You believed that if they were happy, you were happy, right? but you never really understood very well how emotions worked. They never explained it to you or bothered to tell you anything about it.

It was somewhat frustrating but you resigned yourself quickly. You had to maintain the role you had been assigned after all. keep your hope.

but there really wasn't any, you were never able to communicate with the gods…. there really was nothing to have faith in.

but these people were in denial, and would not allow you to give up your position.

Everything got worse when your parents died, your mother murdered your father…and then committed suicide.

you found their corpses.

but the worst of all was that you didn't know how to process the loss of your parents. how you didn't even know how to process your own emotions.

You just thought about how unpleasant the smell of blood was and you replayed the scene over and over in your head.

all while you didn't change your facial expression. smiling, the one that people wanted to see in you, a supposed "saint"

So you adapted that mentality to your daily life, no matter how many lies you have to tell, no matter how many people get hurt because of this--

As long as the believers were happy, maybe one day you would be too. some day…

Until then, Keep smilling, keep make them happy, keep faken up your emotion, maybe if you fake it enough, you will feel something more than this inmense Void.

but at least all this had its good side, you developed your own damn ice technique!

It was powerful enough that the people in charge of you decided that you needed help in managing it.

that's how you ended up at Jujustu Tech.

That's how you met them…

When you first arrived at Jujustu Tech, you attracted a lot of attention. not only because of your carefree attitude but, obviously, because of your appearance. You were fine with that, you were used to it.

but when Geto and Gojo saw you for the first time when they introduced you to their group…WOW they were silent. which was weird in itself.

Gojo, being Gojo, and well recovered from the shock, went up to you and asked if you had contact lenses, even if he could see that you didn't, he HAD to make sure you didn't.

Geto obviously scolded him and apologized on his behalf for his rude comment. But he didn't miss the opportunity to say how beautiful your eyes were.

With these first impressions you could get an idea of ​​what they were like. And honestly? You became friends very quickly.

To be honest, growing up adored by your cult and having a pretty powerful ability, you ended up being quite arrogant, well-meaning, but cocky.

Thanks to this, Gojo was able to connect with you quite quickly, at first with the intention of destroying that ego you had, but it always ended badly in one way or another.

For example, trying to outdo yourself in physical combat seeing that you depended a lot on your ability with ice, it's a piece of cake with his Infinity, right? well…

Both Gojo and Geto made the same mistake when facing you for the first time, UNDERESTIMATING YOU based on your seemingly silly personality.

You turned out to be more skilled than he thought, which cost him almost blinding him when you realized how special his eyes were. Something similar happened with Geto, he wanted to know more in depth about your abilities, but above all, to know if your eyes, similar to Satoru's, had any unusual abilities.

only to have his ass kicked for being distracted by them…

They could respect you from the beginning, they could see that there was something more than a smiling mask in you. a great power.

Although the more they got to know you, the more things came to light and the more they understood you.

You and Gojo could understand each other on the level of having people expect too much of you, things that are not yours and even putting you on a pedestal for that (in your case very literally). Gojo found the whole cult thing very shady when you told them both, but he also found it shady that you didn't understand how that was WRONG.

Geto was the same(at the start), you and he understood each other more on the side of having abilities (in your case appearance) that although "helps people" rather condemns them to a pretty miserable life.

Thanks to this he opened up to you when he was in spiral, he felt that if anyone would understand him, it would be you.

In case we follow the canonical route, you tend to show two faces with each of them, both authentic and part of you, but distant from each other.

With Geto, you show your most morally perverse side, enjoying for the first time your position in the cult, the power you have over the lives of those people, realizing that YOU ARE the one in control.

You and Geto united the cutls, becoming even more powerful and influential, Geto is a loving couple, I'm not going to lie. He continues to pamper you as much as you want, whether physically, materially or emotionally.

The family respects you a lot, not only because of your power, but because they see you as an equal to Geto, the legitimate queen of the new world for sorcerers.

Geto doesn't really agree with watching you fight, and since you yourself are a little lazy to do it, he leaves the part of interacting with the believers to be your strong point.

Despite everything, being with Geto in this case has its disadvantages, and that is that he does not let you get down from that position of power and believe that the rest are better, apart from the fact that he encourages your harmful behavior towards others (that is, he does not let you mature )

Although don't misunderstand me, he will do everything possible to help you understand and experience the emotions that you have been depriving yourself of.

and when you go with Gojo (he and Gojo "divide custody" in this case) you do a 180 degree turn. You show your most happy and carefree side.

With Gojo you feel like there is nothing to worry about, you like that, he is quite relaxed himself.

Similarly to Geto, he spoils you a lot and is a great cuddler. He LOVES having PDA with you, hugs, kisses, snuggles, anything. he loves it.

Gojo directly takes you to therapy for emotions and when you come out and talk to him about your progress he is very happy to see you getting better every day, it seems.

Unlike Geto, he would try to remove the cult's influence from your life by seeing them as primarily responsible for your traumas (along with the death of your parents) and is fiercely protective in that regard.

They know it, you know it, one bad move and they're screwed.

NOW, if we're talking about the AUS where Geto doesn't get corrupted and stays in Jujutsu Tech with Mimiko and Nanako…IT'S ALL FLUFF.

Both are great life partners, mainly because they balance each other and thus you get the best of the best of EVERYTHING.

(i cant write more than this so sorry if its seems cut off im triying to fix it)

༘⋆CHARA. — bnha men , kny men

ੈ INFO — single! dad! headcanons

༉‧TAGS — fluff , aged up

➶ ˚A/N — not to brag but i‘m devastated. this is so cute

#BAKUGO

Always Grumpy™ Dad.

Looks perpetually annoyed, even when he’s doing the most doting dad things.

“Don’t forget your lunch, brat!” he yells, shoving an intricately packed bento with heart-shaped rice balls into his kid’s hands.

When his kid’s team loses at a sports game, he’s the one fuming more than the children. “What do you mean that goal didn’t count?!” he yells while the coach desperately tries to calm him down.

Bakugo insists on strict homework sessions but barely understands the material himself. “Why the hell does this math problem have letters in it?!” He’s that dad who ends up calling Kirishima to “help” while pretending he’s got it under control.

Secretly Soft Dad: His kid walks in on him sewing their torn plushie back together at 3 a.m. “You didn’t see anything, got it?!”

#TODOROKI

Clueless But Trying Dad.

Todoroki is completely out of his depth when it comes to parenting. His child once asked him what’s for dinner, and he handed them soba for the fifth time that week. “It’s nutritious.”

He attends all their school events in the loudest Todoroki way possible: deadpan clapping. If they lose? He pats their head and says something like, “Winning isn’t everything. But… next time, we’ll destroy them.”

His child asks for help with a school art project, and he approaches it like it’s a battlefield. The result? A horrifying abstract mess. His kid still proudly shows it off, though.

“If you finish your homework, we’ll get ice cream,” he promises. Somehow, he is the one who eats three scoops by the end.

#KIRISHIMA

Encouragement Overload Dad.

Kirishima hypes his kid up for everything. “That macaroni necklace you made? It’s a masterpiece! We’re putting it in a display case!”

He cries during parent-teacher conferences when the teacher praises his child.

He volunteers to coach his kid’s sports team but gets way too invested. “No, no, you gotta feel the spirit of the game!” His pep talks last longer than the matches.

His kid asks for help with science homework, and Kirishima tries to turn every answer into something about being “manly.” “Volcanoes are super manly because they erupt with power!”

#MIDORIYA

The Scrapbook Dad™.

Deku documents everything. First steps, first drawing, first sneeze. His kid can’t even eat a sandwich without Deku taking a hundred pictures.

His kid complains about being tired during gym class, so Deku creates a whole training schedule. “We’ll work on stamina first, then agility!” His kid just wants to nap.

Homework: “Let’s research this together!” He ends up learning the entire curriculum while his kid stares at him, confused.

Crying at EVERYTHING: His kid does the smallest thing, like tie their own shoes, and Deku is wiping tears off his face. “You’re growing up so fast!”

#DABI

“Cool” Dad.

Dabi tries to act indifferent about everything, but when his kid brings home an art project, he lowkey keeps it on his fridge for years. “Don’t read into it.”

His kid always steals his snacks, and he complains every time, but he still buys extra just for them.

At a school match, he heckles the referee when they make a bad call. “Oh, come on! What, are you blind?” When the teacher tries to scold him, he just grins and lights up a cigarette.

He tries to tell his kid a bedtime story but gets bored halfway through and starts making up weird, chaotic endings. “And then the princess set everything on fire. The end.”

#TANJIRO

Soft Boy Dad.

Tanjiro packs lunch boxes with cute little notes and carved fruit animals. His kid opens their lunch in front of their friends and groans, “Dad, stop making my sandwiches into hearts!”

He cheers for his kid even when they come in last at a race. “You gave it your best! That’s all that matters!”

Tanjiro tries to help with math homework but ends up confusing himself. “Wait… so the train is traveling at 60 kilometers per hour…” His kid eventually takes the textbook and says, “Never mind, Dad.”

His kid tries to bake with him, but Tanjiro somehow sets the kitchen on fire. “We can fix this! It’s fine!”

#TENGEN

Flashy Dad™.

Tengen insists on making everything extravagant. His kid gets a birthday party with fireworks, live music, and a five-tier cake. “What? This is normal parenting!”

He’s the dad who shows up to the sports match wearing a custom jersey with his kid’s face on it. His cheers are deafening, and his kid is mortified.

“Math? Who needs math when you’ve got style!” He distracts his kid with ninja flips instead of helping with homework.

The first time his kid brings home a crush, Tengen interrogates them with full dramatic flair: “What are your intentions with my precious gem?”

#GIYUU

Quietly Overprotective Dad.

Giyuu doesn’t say much, but he watches everything. If someone so much as looks at his kid wrong, his glare could freeze them solid.

He sits silently during the entire match, but the one time his kid scores, he claps once. His kid notices and beams because that is high praise from Giyuu.

His kid asks for help with history homework, and Giyuu stares at the page for ten minutes before mumbling, “This wasn’t in my era…”

His kid falls asleep on the couch, and Giyuu carefully tucks a blanket around them, sitting beside them in case they wake up.

#ZENITSU

Over-the-Top Drama Queen.

His kid gets a scraped knee, and Zenitsu screams like it’s a mortal wound. “My baby! You’re too precious for this world!”

Loudest Sports Parent

He cheers so loudly at matches that the referee tells him to sit down. He’s also the dad who cries when his kid loses.

His kid brings him a math problem, and Zenitsu panics. “This is witchcraft! Why does the answer have letters in it?!”

Clingy Bedtime and drop-off Rituals: “One more hug! Okay, now one more! Alright, just one more after that!” — *Cries.*

#INOSUKE

Wild Dad™

Inosuke’s idea of parenting is throwing his kid in the air “to build their strength.” He accidentally throws them too high once and panics mid-air.

Unhinged.

He barges onto the field mid-match to yell, “NO! YOU CHARGE STRAIGHT AT THEM! NO FEAR!” His kid tries to explain that it’s not how soccer works.

His kid asks for help, and Inosuke just growls at the book, as if he can intimidate the answers out of it. Eventually, they both give up and eat snacks instead.

His kid brings home a handmade macaroni necklace, and Inosuke wears it for weeks. “It’s armor from my spawn!”

[sanriokamabodo]

Hi, may I request a set of headcanons featuring Douma and a female reader who is braiding his hair? ☺️

A/N: my first request by one of my favourite kny writers?? how lucky!! ty for requesting! ♡ + i found it quite difficult to write for a request again (after like ... 7 years?) but i enjoyed it thoroughly, i hope you enjoy it regardless!

CW's mentions of cults, touch starved douma bc :( douma has semi-feelings i just know his hair is sososo soft, he doesn't use 2in1 and thats his only green flag!!!! not proofread

His parents never loved him as their sweet son, seeing him moreso as a pawn for their cult. It festered into his adulthood, he was untouchable as his people's god.

And then you, despite being his disciple still, actually listen to him instead of begging your lord for advice.

You come to his quarters more often until it becomes a daily ritual, and as the two of you slowly become more comfortable around eachother, Douma starts revealing his true, touch starved nature.

It starts with him giving you small side hugs as you leave his quarters when he has other business to attend to, holding your hands in his as he tells you about his days tending to his community. Until finally he rests his head in your lap, talking about whatever comes to mind.

You decide to test the waters further, you delicately place your hands on his hand, raking your hands through his platinum locks. Douma tenses for a moment, not used to this gentle touch, however quickly relaxes at the warm, comforting feeling.

He goes quiet for a moment as he closes his eyes, taking it all in, almost like he wants to remember this moment for the rest of his life.

"Douma-sama, y'know, you have really nice hair for a guy, right?" you say.

Douma opens one eye, feigning an insulted expression before breaking into a smile. "For a guy? I have nice hair, period."

You smile down at him "Douma-sama?"

"Hm?"

"May I braid your hair?"

Douma pushes himself up by his elbows, resting like that for a while. He thinks things through for a moment but quickly sits up, clasping his hands together excitedly. "I would love that, my dear petal."

You sit up quickly and take a seat on the ground behind Douma. Gently you gather his hair towards his back, before using your fingers as an impromptu brush.

It takes you about thirty minutes to fully braid his hair, first starting with three smaller ones before braiding those into a larger braid. Douma revels in the attention, thoroughly enjoying your warm touch.

You guide his hair braid to the front so he can see for himself.

He turns to you, a sweet expression on his face. He wants to say something but before he can do so you stop him in his tracks.

"Final touch" you smile at him.

Removing your hairpin, a small gift you've gotten from Douma before and wore everyday since then, you slide it into his braid.

A small blush stains his nose and ears red, he melts because of your small gesture. Douma opens his mouth to thank you, but before he gets the chance he gets biwa'd into the infinity castle.

"Nice hair" Akaza snorted.

[colourstreakgryffin]

Hi! May I request more dad!Douma? Specifically what would he do if Mui decides to hide & keep her most beloved plushie out of jealousy? Kokushibo doesn’t really get him any toys & he secretly does still enjoy things like that. But Douma’s daughter is VERY attached to her plush.

Hope you have a great day OP! :D

Omlll. Douma, for real, gonna commit murder if this happens! Ima change the Kokushibo kid if you don’t mind since Demon Mui with Kokushibo is alternate AU, thank you! A bit short and bad but hope it’s okay!

Father! Douma

God, he wished he could just murder whoever hurts you. No matter how powerful they may be

Douma is legit fuming as he hears you crying all of the sudden. None of the Upper Moons will dare try control him or reason with him as he shoots off to go find the source of the crying. He is beyond ready to kill whoever is hurting you

He could have destroyed the entire Infinity Castle in that moment, at what he saw. You crying into your beautiful kimono sleeves as Kokushibo’s student is holding the cute fluffy baby Honey Badger in his arms as he cuddled it

You are so attached to that very plush, Douma got it made for you by his many followers and you took it everywhere and it was just like you’re emotional support. You may be a demon but you’re still young and childish

Douma rushes over to you and picked you up, hugging you to his chest as you sobbed gently and he tried to comfort you the best he could. He would kicked the kid’s head clean off but he can’t, right now, he wanted more to make his beloved daughter feel better

He already promises to get you many more plushes and toys to help cheer you up as he rocks you and kisses your forehead. His attempts to comfort you have been get a lot better with how much time he spends with you. His cute little lady of ice

He glares death holes at the kid from strands of your hair, feeling the other Upper Moons gawk shocked at him from the back. He has never let any sort of emotion be visible but with how overprotective he is over you, he must express how horrible he feels. This rage, this hatred flooding him is something he can’t let go of it… no, he won’t ever

Douma will make this a big deal and argue with Kokushibo about it for a while. He may not like being the bad guy around the other Upper Moons but he loves his little princess the most so he happily gets into a fight with the Upper Moon 1 for your sake

“Control your kid, Kokushibo-dono! My Dokusha is sensitive and that toy took a lot of blood, sweat and tears to make! Have him give it back!”

Douma is just so angry that he can barely control himself whilst he takes you away from the room as Kokushibo enters. He loves you so dearly that he can’t stand your pain either, he has become so unbelievably attached to you that he has found himself unable to be away from you

Douma will now never let you be alone at the Infinity Castle. The only way you can go anywhere is with him! You go up to Gyokko, besides your dear father whilst Kokushibo scolds the younger demon. He simply loves hearing you laugh happily as you show off to the Upper Moon 5 and cuddle the beloved plush returned to you

“I’m so sorry, my love. Some people are just so selfish. Don’t worry about it, okay? Daddy will take care of this!”

[thebottomfromhell]

I hardly find anything just about Zohakuten and recently I saw two headcanons where the reader was like a father figure and as I like your writing, so I wanted to read how you would imagine this relationship, given that Zohakuten is the incarnation of hate. How it started, whether the father is human or demon, the relationship between them, what made Zohakuten see the reader as a father and vice versa. I imagine a human father, but is it up to you, or even a version of each? Your blog is a treasure!

Thank you, I'm glad you like it. And this is a lovely ask. I hope you don't mind if I also add Daki and Kaigaku to the mix, just to add more content.

Male reader as a father/parental figure, human and demon.

Warnings: Cannibalism, Implied child prostitution, Implied and Mentioned child neglect.

Human Reader

Zohakuten:

Zohakuten hates humans, but... you are nice. You found each other in a late night, the Hashira Hantengu fought were strong and worked in a team, so in the end they formed Zohakuten. The thing is that the kid lost the tiny demon and began to look for him. You live near, so you went there when you heard the roars of the Wooden Dragons, scared and curious of what was going on.

The first thing he knew he was about to eat you and then he got covered by a very warm and soft sheet. As a demon the chilly night doesn't bother him, but the feeling is still nice. You didn't care he had fangs, horns, or weird eyes and ears, you saw a child outside, alone at night, in middle of winter with chest, back and stomach exposed. If it wasn't because you had a very nice sheet, a very comfortable place and a wooden dragon toy (it is more of a lucky charm for you, but still works) Zohakuten would have killed you.

"You are very dumb, taking me to your home. I could kill you right now!" He said squeezing the figure against himself, being careful to not break it. You laugh, not really taking the threat seriously. "Sure, kiddo. Whatever you say." In the end he stays over to sleep in, fully covered with the sheets and curtains, your bed during daylight, trusting that Hantengu's size will help him to hidem from the sun. And he keeps doing so, coming back for a hot bath since you offer, a warm bed, comfortable clothes, some toys you give him, and with time he wants to spend time with you (even more if you have a pet and help him to bond with it), as if he was a cat. Zohakuten likes to be pampered, trusting you to take care of him, even though he will never admit it verbally. (He also brings Hantengu, but hides him inside the house.) You also start teaching him things, he didn't really know how to write as a demon (he knew how to read, but japanese kanji are messy), to do chores, how to be a bit more friendly (that's a work in process, you swear it's possible.)

One day he came just after eating, so he had blood on his face. You, worried, were all over him checking if he was fine, even if you añready knew he could regenerate. "I'm fine, papa. Stop pestering me!" You freeze when he calls you that, Zohakuten also does when he realizes what he just said. He blushes hard before storming into your room, closing the door behind before hiding inside you bed and refusing to speak and see you. By night he came out to you by his own, glaring at the floor. "It's ok if I call you papa, right?" Of course you said yes.

He started to leave for more periods of time after that, but still always came back. You started to grow old, while he stayed a child. By then you already knew he was a demon. "Do you need help, papa?" You laugh it off, you are just starting to grow and the kid is already treating you as if you were fragile, being helpful and loyal. Well, you are in comparinson of him. He is also very protective of you, and clingy if he is feeling off. "It's ok kiddo, papa is here." You say as he hugs you, burrying his face in your shoulder. "You better."

Daki:

Daki is used to have men's attention, that is what she lives of. What she is not used is men looking at her with such a tender eyes, or at least in a way that really feels that they are looking at her instead of her body. She is clearly a teen, you can tell by the way she acts and speaks, and while you can't really take her out of here, you want to help. You start bringing her things, not the usual presents clients bring courtesans (you met her due her job), but things she might need. Simple (modest) clothes, some extra cash, self-care products, and have even offered to help her with her chores, or at least teach her how to do them.

"I'm already a woman! Stop treating me like a child!" She screamed one night, angry of your insisntence of trying to help her. "I don't need you! I already have a dad! He is the one protecting and taking care of me, not you!" You were about to ask when she freezes after realizing what she just said before turning red and throwing something at you. "That's not true! That's not true!" Se squeaks embarrassed as she moves her arms before running away. You didn't know what was wrong with her.

Then you found out she was a demons.... oh, and you also met her Onii-chan. "You're lucky my sister likes you, ne... Tell me, what do you want with her? Ne." Gyutaro is an adult, you can tell, but like Daki is just a child, he is a young adult. Not old enough to parent a girl of Daki's age (or at least the age difference implies he was way too young to step in as a parental figure when his sister was born). "She's a kid. The world is not nice to lonely children. So I want to make sure she has an adult to rely on." At first he doesn't believe you, so he stays out of his sister to keep an eye, but at the same time with him around Daki feels more confident of you taking care of her. She doesn't feel she is replacing her Onii-chan with Gyutaro around.

At the end Gyutaro also warms up to you and goes back inside her sister to hide from the world knowing she is safe and sound. She starts visiting you when she doesn't have to work, she is a very spoiled girl and likes it when you help her with her nails, hair and cuddle her (she is more than capable of making a tantrum if you don't do it the second she asked you). It's not even weird when she starts calling you "OTOOOUUU-CHAAAN! ONII-CHAN CALLED ME DUMB!"

She is also very clingy both with you amd her brother, besides being very trusting. She speaks freely her mind and doesn't hide anything. She is also very loyal, but independent. (Also, depending of the case, you should be careful for her starting to ship you with her brother, since both are her parental figures.)

Kaigaku:

Turning into a demon was the best thing that could happen to Kaigaku. Now he is strong, now he won't be ignored, now he can finally be the best, and... And just now an adult seems to care about what happens to him.

The orphanage... the old man... really, they did care. Unlike him, they were good in general, so of course they would care for a child. But they did not care specifically for Kaigaku. Not when one had a lot of other children with same or even more value than a little thief who wanted more than the leftovers. And Jigoro Kuwajima already knew he didn't see him as a possible heir, not matter how many forms he perfected. Meanwhile Zenitsu, who only could do the first, was the favored one.

One would think as the one responsible for them it would be Kokushibou the one to step in and guide him into his new life as a demon, but besides setting high standards and teaching him how to upgrade his breathing, the guy didn't do anything. It's like being with the old man again, teaching Kaigaku the basics and then leaving him off for whatever is more important than him. At first it frustrates Kaigaku, but since he is used to it he resigns easily. Then you come in.

"Oyaji! Stop bothering me!" He tells you as you mess with his hair laughing. He is still not used to being a demon, so when he lost track of time practicing his katas it wasn't until the sunlight started to be visible that Kaigaku realized he was in danger. He managed to sneak inside your house in a desesperate attempt to cover himself, and you have been taking care of him ever since. He is just a lost teen. "Nah, it's fun to tease ya, kiddo."

"Oyaji! I can fix the crack by my own." He warmed up to you very easily, specially since he was the only kid around. He is not the most loyal, but he is still filial. It was only matter of him having a parent, an actual parent, for himself. Someone that makes sure he learns, that is willing to invest in him, someone that wants him. He is needy for attention and always want to prove his worth.

Kaigaku wishes he could have met you as a human, maybe that would have prevented all this from happening. But at least you are his father now. "Oyaji, I told you to stop teasing me!"

Demon Reader

Zohakuten:

Hantengu is not that bad, but leaving a child to fight your problems and fears off is a big no for you. A bigger No, like NO. You know the clones would step it as a parental figure if they could, but for obvious reasons, they couldn't. You don't know what possesed you into treating the kid... like a kid. He is Uppermoon 4 for a reason, and doesn't need to be babied. "I can get my own food, you know?"

That doesn't stop you a bit when you start getting him food and things, specially some new clothes he loathes, but a child should not go around that exposed. There are so many freaks around, and while it's not Zohakuten's fault, he should protect himself a little more. "You barely eat at all, and because of Hantengu's last trauma of getting lost in middle of a battle, you have been staying up for a while more than you are used to. So someone needs to make sure you eat, since you are way too picky." You did your best to get something Zouhakuten would like, but as he refuses to eat it, you end up having to bribe him with wooden toys.

"They are just nice, it doesn't mean anything." As he is behaving good, you decide to get him something special one day. It was hard to get it, but you managed. "Hey kiddo, I got you something nice, but you have to promise me to be responsible about it." Zouhakuten scoffs at that. He is Uppermoon 4! He doesn't want your condescen- "It's a tanuki!" (The hard part was to not kill or hurt the animal).... "Give it to me!"

It was a bit hard to parent him with so much to do on his character but so little to offer, specially since you can't actually raise him since Zohakuten won't grow up and sooner or later the clones will have to defuse. "Will you take care of Dorobō when that happens?" He asks cuddling and rocking the little dog in his arms, both of them at the top of a tree. You are at the bottom, just arriving with a human corpse (you don't have to bribe Zohakuten anymore, it's a win) and a few dead frogs for the kid's pet (You still can't believe he called it "Thief") "Sure will do kiddo. I will also be waiting for you, so you can look for me anytime."

.... "Thanks papa." He called you for the first time, and you knew you were doing good with the child. He started to get protective and clingy towards you, specially during day as you shelter from the sun. He is a good child, above all.

Daki:

You know Daki sees her brother as a parental figure, it's clear to everyone but him. That he is the father she probably never had. You don't think you can compete with that, and don't want to. You like them both, Gyutaro is chill and his sister... she's just a kid. A kid with not only the preassure of being om his rada, but one with a busy human life. You just want to lend them a hand.

"Daki, calm down. It's not so bad." You try to comfort her as she cries over a pretty, expensive and, most important, new kimono with blood and a big cut in the shoulder. She got careless and when fighting a Hashira and forgot to protect it from the splash. "But it was new! And I ruined it! I ruined it! I liked it so much and I still ruined it!" This is how it started, with you rolling your eyes and taking the kimono to clean it while Gyutaro toyed and killed the Hashira that made his sister cry. After there was no longer any blood in it Daki could give it to a servant for her to sew the hole.

You began to help her with her chores, mostly cleaning since Daki never had problems on eating by her own, except when she first became a demon and still had some of her human memories, but again, Gyutaro helped her back then. Speaking about Gyutaro, you asked him for tios to take care of his sister, and since he knew you he trusted you the information. "My sister likes you a lot, ne. I also think you are good to her, ne."

After that you also began to help her with other things, like her hair and self-care routine. At times she would play with your hair, put make up on you or lend you some other peoduct. You both have fun doing so as you lead her into having a more proactive attitude. "Daki, it's enough." You laugh as she tickles you.

"Otou-chan, stay still or you will ruin the make up." She said simply the first time she called you that. As spoiled as she is, Daki didn't even think it was weird to call you that, and so she never stopped doing so. She also started to push both Gyutaro and yojrself so you three can have a family time together, and she is content with having to male demons taking care of her. "Otou-chan! Onii-chan! C'mon or we will lose dinner!"

Kaigaku:

Damn, being under Kokushibou's care must suck. You have nothing against the Uppermoon One, but that guy doesn't have a hair of father. You would give him a 3/10, at most. That is why you feel someone should step in for the new boy. "Hey kiddo, still having problems with the food?"

Young demons who's body doesn't change to an adult appereance tend to keep their memories a little longer than the ones who were transformed as adults, like you. For this reason, beside the starvation of their first kill, they tend to have a hard time eating humans, since they hadn't completely abandoned that stage. "You can't wait for starvation to force you to it. Not only is painful, but that amount of bodies will not get you as strong as Kokushibou wants you to be." You mess with his hair and he complains, clearly frustrated of not being able to hunt humans. "Shut up, you demon!" And it doesn't help that he was a slayer before this.

Still, even if Kaigaku is a very rude teen, you get him something to eat. Since he probably has not developed his own taste you go for something safe and get him a young adult, a healthy one. You will bring something else the next time, but for now the best is to help the child to build himself in his new life. "There you go, kiddo." It takes you to threaten to take the food away for Kaigaku to eat, he got used in the middle of it. Still, he has a hard time hunting to eat.

He gets used to it slowly, as you keep bringing him food. It's easy to feel like a parent like this, you're like a wild animal to their cubs. You also try to comfort him when Kokushibou is too strict or mean to him. "Why are you doing all this for me?" He asks when you were patting his back after Kokushibou stabbed him during training. Kaigaku for a minute forgot he could regenerate and almost had a panic attack, desesperated to leave, so you stole him and helped him to calm down. "Someone has to. Being a demon is not easy and I think a little guidance is always good. So relax, I will take care of you, kiddo."

... "You didn't have to get all sappy, Oyaji." He starts calling you that, Kaigaku tries his best and wants to prove himself to you. He is working hard and that makes you proud. "Kaigaku, help pops to get dinner tonight, ok?" He rolls his eyes but takes his sword to help you. He is a good teen, just a bit... too full of himself. But it's ok, as long as he still remembers his past he has the chance to mature a little. Just do your best "Alright, alright. I'm going, Oyaji."

The grieving that will never stop

✍️ note: there's a splash of my own experience so writing this is quite a challenge. To those who grieving, i hope the flow of times will slowly heal the wound, even though it will leaving behind the scar, our love one will remain alive in our heart. Sending love ❤️.

Everyday, Mrs Kanroji often praying in front of the altar, give various offering to Gods, as she was always afraid of her daughter's safety.

When Mitsuri telling her that she'll join the corps, she actually, for the first time in her life, didn't allowed her to go. Her Intuition often feel off about her decision but over time-and with her husband's support of her daughter, she finally accepted it.

However, over time, Mitsuri seems to finally started to accept herself as she is, and her wide smile never fade which she as a mother feeling grateful for. She always send them letters, telling her story of saving people, new friends and all.

But, honestly, his mother's heart always feel so heavy with the fact that mitsuri are taking the most dangerous job to herself.

Until her fears turned to reality. The news she received from Urara in the morning of new year broke her soul. Mrs Kanroji fell to her knees, begging to Gods that it was just her bad dream.

She stop going to temple.

It was like that for a while. She blaming herself for not strong enough to stop her from joining. Is this her fault? Is her prayer aren't enough?

Mitsuri was her first born, that her husband and her wait for 4 years. She was born strong enough to carry a big rock in her childhood. She's a great sister to her siblings. Never in her mind, that she'll outliving her own daughter.

The grieving was there all year, that her husband getting so worried of her. When ubayashiki kiriya come to visit, she didn't talk much, her husband did.

"Lady Kanroji was an embodiment of kindness that spreading magic among people around her. Most of the members of the Corp are orphan with unbearable trauma.

When she come, its looked like we could breath a little, full of happiness as if we live a normal life. Lady Kanroji is that person who never judged and she's care of all people around her regardless their status. Her departure is the big loss to us, she's never giving up in her last moment.

Lady Kanroji defeated the evil with her strong will and kindness, it's the highest honor to have your daughter as a part of our Corps in destroying the looming demons that haunted the peoples for thousand years. That's why, we'll do our best to help, until the end."

Ubayashiki Kiriya bow deeply to both of them. "Please don't bow like that Lord Ubayashiki, I'm so glad that she's become a part of the victory. It's may take a while, but I'll try to talk to my wife"

Mrs Kanroji couldn't bear to talk to the leader of the corp. Everytime she see him, she'll cry.

.....

Spring come. Cherry blossoms blooming peacefully in front of her house, added to her wound.

"mother, my hair, does it really that weird?"

"hmm? Why you said so? My daughter is always pretty, and your hair look like a cherry blossom. Aren't that pretty?"

"Really?? I love cherry blossom i love sakura mochi "

Mrs Kanroji picking up some of the petals in her hands. Her tears flowing like a river. Her daughter come and went by just like the flowers. So beautiful but their lives were so short.

"Mitsuri, you must be sad aren't you, how could i let you go, my daughter? My precious child, mother miss you so much"

....

The spring night come, with the nice spring breeze. She dream of her. So beautiful, innocent. The smile across her face, look like a beautiful calestial maiden.

'Mother, i love you so much. Mother I'm so happy and honored to have you as my mother, we will meet again, i promise. Mother I'm so happy here, i think my life is so fulfilling. I don't have any regret'

'mother, please live on. Until we meet again, i want you to smile'

The tears flowing down her cheeks in her sleep. Only God knows how much she miss her.

Perhaps the passage of times will slowly heal her pain, yet her mother's heart will forever be broken.
