#and urokodaki in the back

[marurumai]

giyuu enjoys meditating not only because it helps him keep the calm needed for his optimal performance, but because back in his days of training he and urokodaki would meditate together. it was the way they bonded, sharing silence and trust between eachother. he wishes to see his father master again and meditate once more, but he cant bring himself to walk up mount sagiri since eight years ago. as much as meditating gives him a sense of nostalgia and warmth, it also makes him feel incredibly guilty, because he doesnt deserve urokodakis love, urokodaki must hate him now, and he cant blame him.

urokodaki still meditates too. he hasnt found himself meditating with anyone, not since giyuu left, for some reason it feels wrong. so he is just left to meditate by himself, missing his son former pupil.

Giyuu: Oh, god! Why must you give me your hardest battles? God: I don't. You are my weakest soldier and these battles are easy, it's just a letter, why are you crying?

Love Me Mercilessly—Ch 17: Ghosts

SURPRIIIIISE SHAWTY !!!!! SANEGIYUU SUNDAY IS OVER WELCOME BACK TO SABIGIYUU SATURDAY!!!!

Caught between this world and the next, a familiar face helps Giyuu find his words. Sanemi is there to make sure it's not too late.

Sneak peek below …

“This is so pathetic!” A voice said. Giyuu limply turned his head to the sound and found a peach-orange halo of light. “You call yourself a man?”

Even now he’d know that voice anywhere. Even when he turned to the side and saw an unfamiliar silhouette. Even though the speaker’s face was hidden by a kitsune mask, the design of which was nearly too painful for him to recall.

“Sabito,” Giyuu breathed. He hadn’t spoken the name aloud since telling Sanemi about him a lifetime ago on that first mission with him.

“What the hell are you doing? All that work and you’re just gonna lay down in the mud like a dog and die?!”

He knelt beside him, lighting the darkness with his bright shag of hair. Tiredly Giyuu took in his almost otherworldly silhouette, from the mask practically floating in front of his face to his crisp black uniform, adorned with the gilded clasps of a Hashira. Even kneeling, Sabito was tall and lithe, as if he’d somehow aged alongside him, even from beyond the grave.

Giyuu reached vaguely out for Sabito with a pale, shaking hand and waited to feel the calluses on his palms, taking his hand in his own, pulling him out of the mud to stand with him. He would have been happy to lay there and let Sabito chide him, shout and scream at him, if it only meant getting to hear that never-forgotten voice. Getting to look into his bright and gentle eyes, getting to run his hand over the scar on his cheek.

“Well?” Sabito snapped. “Are you?!” His voice had an echo, as if he was speaking from a great distance.

His heart starved of blood and brain starved of air, Giyuu didn’t think he had much of a choice. “S-Sabito…” Take me with you. We can go see the ocean… I can hear the waves. He could feel them crashing over his head and pulling him down. His eyelids fluttered. Death wasn’t actually so bad, if Sabito was there. “S-Sorry…”

Chapter 3: Brutal training, and big boulders

When Tanjiro agreed to train under Urokodaki, he was not expecting this.

Training to worship correctly was the easy part, but training to fight? Oh hell no. He’d be forced to do 100 pushups, but if one was faulty, he’d be doing 200 more.

The only reason he was hanging on was for his sister, still dead asleep.

So that’s how he ended up in this situation, one of Urokodaki’s swords in his hand, slashing at a training dummy. He was on his 50th, when he slashed wrong.

“Do 100 more,” Rang Urokodaki’s voice, clear and gruff. “And don’t stop.”

The red-haired boy could only let out a small hum of agreement, already focused on completing the task.

Days turned into weeks, into months, and then, a year had passed.

He’d been up and down mountains, through waterfalls, done so many new forms of exercise to the point he couldn’t breathe for a few minutes, and learned an entire breathing style, along with total concentration breathing, so of course he thought he was ready for the famously known to all aspiring shrine keepers, final selection.

So one day, after they finished training, he asked the fated question.

“Urokodaki-San, am I ready?” He inquired, ready for any answer. But instead of a yes of a no, he got an unclear answer.

“Meet me at sunrise, in the start of the woods.” He replied. And that was the end of that discussion, until the next morning.

Tanjiro had gotten up exactly at sunrise, gotten himself together, and went to the start of the woods, like he was asked to. He was met with Urokodaki already there, leading him to a clearing with a large boulder in the middle, a rope attached all around.

Urokodaki put a sword in his hand, and with a serious tone, he declared…

“I have nothing left to teach you. When you cut this boulder, you will be allowed to go into the final selection.” And then, he left.

Tanjiro wanted to say he was joking, but he clearly wasn’t.

Even after calling his name, the mentor didn’t return, and Tanjiro’s mind started to wrap around the point that he might never get to final selection. Cutting off heads of training dummies, and avoiding traps was one thing, but cutting a boulder in two?

Best just admit defeat, his sword was sure to snap. But he couldn’t. He was risking the safety of his sister, who hadn’t moved in ages, still a demon, and though they’d been taking care of her, still nothing happened.

So if doing this would bring him closer to the cure, closer to getting the Nezuko back he missed dearly, so be it.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! That was the most prominent sound in the small clearing as Tanjiro’s sword kept hitting pure stone, and doing nothing, to his despair.

He tried for days, weeks even, slashing it with his sword, even headbutting it, but each day to no avail. He was about to lose all hope, when a snap of a twig alerted him. He looked around, but saw nobody, until-

“Look at yourself, that’s not manly at all. Get up, now.” The voice came from on top of the rock, and for a minute, he thought he was just dreaming.

Standing on said rock were two kitsune, each with their own masks. By the looks of it, the one who spoke was the taller one with a mask, a peach colored scar on one of the cheeks, introducing himself as Sabito, the other, shorter one had a blue and yellow flower on it, introducing herself as Makomo.

Usually, Tanjiro would have been in awe, I mean if there were two kitsune in front of you, it would be an impressive shock, yes? But something was off.

They weren’t here for a casual chat, were they?

“You’re training to fight and slay demons, to protect the gods and Mankind?” Sabito asked, almost intimidatingly.

Tanjiro had heard this speech multiple times, and though he was doing this to save his sister, this reason was also a fair one.

“Yes.” His reply was almost instant.

“Then why in the world are you sitting here, moping around? That’s not manly at all, much less a good idea.” His stern words left the clearing silent. “Now, try to cut that boulder again.”

“But I’ve been trying! It doesn’t work!” Tanjiro looked at Sabito like he had two heads, and was speaking a different language, after he told him to try again. Had he not seen Tanjiro try for ages now?

“If I cut mine, you can cut yours. But seeming as you can’t, fight me right here, right now.” He pulled out a wooden sword, and got into the same position as Tanjiro was.

“But..I’ll hurt you!” Tanjiro almost shouted. “I’m using metal, you’re using only a wood sword!”

“No, you won’t.” And that was the last thing Sabito said, before he launched himself at Tanjiro.

A/N: HHHHHOLY SHIT THIS IS LONG OVERDUE! As I like to say, my need for motivation is chronic, but this chapter is iconic. I really enjoy writing this, one of the big reasons was Sabito, (he’s one of my favorite characters lmao), and now y’all have a little badly written cliffhanger to eat up- Take care my guys, gals, and non-binary pals!

This product has nothing to do with Kimetsu no Yaiba besides Tanjiro on the package and being "Total Concentration Treatment," but every time I have muscle soreness and look to these for relief, I get to feel like Tanjiro is giving me super effective medicine he got from his sensei.

[mikuyuuss]

So I was a HUGE fan of sabigiyuu back in 2019. They were my first ever OTP, but throughout the years, there was a point where I admittedly lost interest in this ship, I felt that it's too one sided, because in the manga, their relationship was all told from Giyuu's side only, and I totally understand why it had to be that way since Sabito is a posthumous character, but I always wished they just had a bit more interaction in the manga flashbacks, so it can feel more mutual.

And that's exactly what the anime gave me!! It's those little moments they added where Sabito and Giyuu are trying to take a peak at Urokodaki's face and falling on the grass laughing at eachother, Sabito catching Giyuu before he collapses, all those things weren't in the manga and I really appreciated the anime for adding them. It really gave a sense of mutual closeness, and that Sabito is also protective of Giyuu. They just looks so comfortable around each other I love those little tender moments so much.

So uh yeah, to put it simply, after being "eh" about sabigiyuu for the longest time, I think I'm becoming obsessed with them again. 😃👍🏻

warnings: blood, family death, fighting, reader is the oldest Kamado sibling

AN: soulmate au where the first words your soulmate says to you is tattooed somewhere on your body!! this is the longest soulmate hcs i’ve written lol

GIYUU

you decide to spend the night over at a friends house late one night

you begin the walk home the next day at around noon

and when you return home you find your entire family slaughtered, laying in pools of their own blood

and your little brother Tanjiro and little sister Nezuko are missing

in tears, wondering what the hell happened and where your siblings are, you fail to notice the men and women approaching your home

when they get to you they explain who they are

they are the kakushi for the demon slayer corps

they check you for injuries and explain what had happened

a demon attacked your family

and your missing brother and sister are most likely dead

in a fit of rage the need for vengeance fills you

and you ask how you can become a slayer

the kakushi bring you to the butterfly mansion where you meet the head of the demon slayer corps

and filled with sympathy for you but sensing your potential, he assigns a hashira to be your mentor

and not just any hashira

The Wind Hashira

Sanemi Shinazugawa

the hot headed hashira with the deepest hatred for demons, the harshest training, and an undeniable disliking towards the water hashira, whom you haven’t met

with just a month of training, you’re headed to the Final Selection

unsurprisingly, due to your training with sanemi, you pass with flying colors

over the course of the next year, you practically fly up the ranks

being sent on several missions, training with sanemi, and of course, still grieving the loss of your siblings, Tanjiro and Nezuko

you become friends with most of the hashira due to your status of being the wind hashira’s tsuguko

but still not meeting the infamous water hashira that your teacher seems to hate

it isn’t until you receive a letter from the previous water hashira, Sakonji Urokodaki

that everything changes

he has heard of your fast progress and skill

and when hearing your last name, he realized that his newest student is your family

your little brother is alive

he passed the final selection

and he’s currently on a mission

a mission that several slayers have died on

a mission that required two hashira due to the amount of casualties

after reading the letter you practically fly out of the wind hashira’s estate

abandoning your daily training

barely hearing Sanemi’s outraged and confused yelling at your departure

running as fast as possible toward the forest that Tanjiro is supposed to be stationed in

you arrive

quickly taking off the head of a demon with the flick of your wrist as you pass by

faintly seeing the outline of a man with a mismatched haori in the corner of your eye

but continuing forward

toward your brother

faster

faster..

even faster…

you arrive

arrive just in time to block the killing blow heading towards your brother..

standing in front of Tanjiro in a defensive position with your back to him

your eyes lock onto the demon that was attacking your brother

Lower Rank 5

one of the twelve kizuki

you are so focused that you can barely hear Tanjiro whisper your name in shock

surely he thought you were dead

turning your head to softly smile at him over your shoulder you say,

“it’s alright, tanji. i’m here now.”

then, you feel a drop land on your face

a drop of blood

you look up to find your baby sister

covered in blood and tangled in the demons webs

a demon herself

in shock you stammer her name

this distraction gives lower rank 5 the opportunity to attack

he launches an attack toward you

you don’t have the time to block it

but you don’t have to

the man you caught a glimpse of earlier with the checkered haori leaps in front of you, blocking the strike

with him taking on the demon, you take the chance to leap into the air and cut the webs holding your sister

catching her as she falls, you can’t tear your eyes from her demonic form

Urokodaki did NOT mention this in his letter to you…

looking up at the sound of a head hitting the floor you realize that the man had delivered the killing blow to the attacking demon

as he turns to walk towards you and your sister, sword at the ready, nezuko stands in front of you defensively

“NO! DONT! SHE’S MY BABY SISTER” you plead, practically in tears

his eyes widen in shock

shock from the revealed information perhaps?

possibly from pity…?

or… is that… realization?

and then, in a split second he moves behind you

and the loud ‘clang’ of two swords colliding reach your ears

he had blocked the sword of another hashira

Shinobu, the insect hashira had attempted to take the life of your little sister

realizing that he was defending you, you took the chance

grabbing your brother and sister by the hand you run

and you keep running until you hear a crow telling you to report to the butterfly mansion with your brother and sister in tow

as you begin the journey to the butterfly mansion, tanjiro informs you of the events he experienced over the last year

in turn, you tell him of your experiences

arriving at the mansion, you are greeted with the sight of the hashira

normally, you would greet the people you call friends but today they are against you

when choosing between your family or your friends

you would choose your family, everytime

glancing between the highly ranked slayers, you see the quiet man in the mismatched haori

and since the only hashira that you haven’t met is the water hashira

you can safely assume that it’s him

when the meeting starts the master announces that both Urokodaki and Giyuu Tomioka have both put their lives on the line to vouch for Nezuko

Giyuu…

that’s his name.

the appreciation and admiration that surges through you at hearing the way he is supporting your sister is unreal

but your admiration is stopped in its tracks by the arrival of your mentor

you physically wince at Sanemi’s hard gaze, drawing an almost unnoticeable puzzled look from Giyuu

after the meeting ends and after a rather loud scolding from Sanemi

you turn to Giyuu and express how thankful you are for his help, and for his support for your sister

and he speaks to you for the first time,

“what kind of person would I be if i didn’t help my soulmate when she needed it.”

at his words, your heart stops

time freezes

your own wide eyes staring up into his calm ocean blue eyes in shock

you are physically frozen in shock

feeling the eyes of the other hashira staring at him he grabs you by the shoulder and leads you away from the prying gaze of the slayers

and then steps away, turning his back to you and pulling his hair over his shoulder exposing the back of his neck to you

exposing his soulmate tattoo to you

“NO! DONT! SHE’S MY BABY SISTER”

printed in your very own handwriting on his pale skin

you somewhat recover from your shock, softly tapping his shoulder to have him face you

and then copying his actions, you turn your back to him exposing the words printed onto your own neck

“what kind of person would I be if i didn’t help my soulmate when she needed it.”

sanemi was NOT happy to hear that his tsuguko is giyuu’s soulmate

"You're Something Else... "

♡ Synopsis: Megumi had been (sorta) prepared to live with this white weirdo who claimed to be the strongest... what he hadn't been prepared for was his daughter.

♡ Content: Reader is described as a girl and shorter than Megumi and Tsumiki and tiny because I'm tiny, black reader, good dad Gojo, Megumi is deeply repressed

♡ Notes: This is from the vote! Where people said they wanted Megumi x Gojo's Daughter instead of Giyuu x Urokodaki Daughter! Hope you enjoy 😘 Just say smth if I should make a part 2

♡ Inspiration: @ketsuyuki-hibana-typed! Their series Rengoku x Little Sister Figure is so good!

So Megumi was less than excited to live with Gojo (could not be me but this ain't about me so...)

He was only doing this so Tsumiki wouldn't have to suffer under the Zenin's

He was expected more or less of the same thing

Just him and Tsumiki living in a house, being forced to take care of themselves

Yippee

That's why he was so surprised to find you

"And you two, say hi to your other housemate!" The white haired weirdo cheerfully exclaimed

Megumi looked at you with wide eyes, you were hiding behind the tall man's legs and shaking like you were forced to be here

He wouldn't be surprised if you were

"C'mon honey bun, you gotta introduce yourself, you'll be sharing a home with these guys."

He removed you from his leg and squatted so that he was at his level

"Introduce yourself!"

You give a shy wave, curled in on yourself. You say your name through stutters and when you're done, you bury yourself into the weirdo's chest

Gojo smiles at them, stroking your back

"She's a little shy-"

A little, Megumi thinks

"-you two introduce yourself too! Don't be shy!"

"I'm Tsumiki!" His sister happily says besides him, like you're not shivering even if it's spring. "It's really nice to meet you!"

You remove yourself from Gojo a little to give her a small nod before burying yourself in Gojo's chest again

Megumi doesn't say his name, he observes (what he can when you're buried in Gojo's chest). You look nothing like him. He wonders if you've also been kidnapped taken in by Gojo

Does the freak have a habit of taking young children?

You look younger than him, though maybe it's because you're so small. You remind him of a mouse, especially with how much you were stuttering

He certainly hasn't seen someone like you before, maybe it's because of how sheltered he is, but you're different

Your skin is darker then what he's seen before, but the difference makes you even prettier. Your skin makes you glow in the sunlight, like some sort of angel

His stomach twists, even with how little he saw of your appearance, you're beautiful

"Aw are you already smitten with my little girl."

His face burns, "no!" He regrets staring so long when you bury yourself even deeper into the older man's arms, your embarrassment making his worse

Gojo waves off his words, "honey bun, this is Megu-chan, your first suitor!"

"Don't call me Megu-chan." He mutters, not bothering to clear up the other statement when the man is rambling something about your 'love story'. He looks up, sparing another glance at you.

You've removed yourself from Gojo a little, your brown eyes making contact with his blue ones.

Simultaneously, you both hide your faces

It's four people in the house but to be honest, it feels more like two

Usually, Gojo is out settling clan business or off on a mission, it's different than before though, Gojo's not neglectful, always making sure they have double of what they need and bathing them in nice comments

And he usually makes it home by dinner

It's honestly really nice (but never tell Gojo he said that)

The reason you don't count though is that you're really...

Quiet

He doesn't even know if that's the right description of you, you're almost like a ghost

The few times that he has laid his eyes on you, you disappear faster than he can blink

Usually, he would assume it's a him problem, but Tsumiki faces the same issues

"Do you think she hates us?" Tsumiki says one day, fiddling with her fingers.

Somehow, it makes him feel better that Tsumiki has the same struggles.

He shrugs, "I don't know, I thought she was mute, but she introduced herself fine the first time so..."

Tsumiki nods in agreement, she moves from playing with her fingers to playing with her hair, "I hope she doesn't hate us, she seems so nice."

"How would you know?" He mutters, "she doesn't even say anything to us."

Tsumiki frowns, opening her mouth to argues but then closes it in thought, "you have a point..." She reluctantly concedes.

Somehow, the win doesn't make him feel better, stomach twisting at the thought of you not liking them.

Of you not liking him

But one fateful day changes everything

"H-hello." You stutter out, looking at the two of them with wide eyes. Their eyes move from the TV screen to your surprising declaration.

Tsumiki eyes bulge out but she snaps her mouth shut out of fear of scaring you away. Megumi hopes that he doesn't share his sister's surprised look (which makes her look like a fish gasping for breath), forcing himself to remain calm.

He doesn't think he's heard your voice since Gojo introduced you all.

"D-dad won't be coming home today...a-and he said we could order food," You bite your lip, "d-do you guys want pizza?"

Tsumiki nods so quickly that he's scared her nose might start bleeding, "that sounds wonderful!"

When your eyes fall to him, he gives a simple nod. "That sounds really good."

You relax, and Megumi didn't notice how tense you were at the thought of a disagreement.

You poke your fingers through a hole in your shirt. "...C-can one of you order for us?"

Tsumiki shoots up, "I can!" She volunteers, already rushing to grab the landline.

You watch her with relief, and Megumi can already see the cogs in your head turning, you thinking about going back to your room.

He doesn't want you to go

"Do you wanna watch a movie with us?" He blurts out.

You jump at the words, surprise evident on your face. You point to yourself as if to ask Me?

He nods, looking away with embarrassment from how red his face is turning, "yeah, it would be nice to talk to you..."

When you don't respond, he looks to you and god he wishes he hadn't.

You're smiling, a smile that lights you up. Gone is the usual worry on your, eyes soft with joy and crinkled because of how wide your grin is

You're beautiful

"Okay..." You respond, softly, "I-i would like that."

He nods absentmindedly, aware that he's staring but he's under a spell, he doesn't know how to look away.

"Do you guys want garlic knots?" Tsumiki yells from the other room.

"Y-yes please!" You respond back, voice soft even when raised.

You turn back to Megumi and award him with another smile, "I-i need t-to call my dad really quick-- b-but I'll come back to watch the movie with you guys!"

He watches you go, butterflies in his stomach.

He buries his face in his hands.

Oh god

He has a crush

[kunikuyu]

"A reward for someone so good." Hashira Series!

Part 1, 3, 4, 5, 6

Tomioka Giyuu x Male! Reader

Warnings: MINORS DNI, NSFW, read as afab reader, calm sex, dom! Reader x virgin! Tomioka, Slight mentions of symptoms of depression, Tokito was replaced by Tomioka, since Tokito is underage.

Summary: Pillar training has begun, much to your delight. Of course, as a hard-working and strong person, you can handle any challenge. Even if it's fighting a hashira. And in a way, they all see some value in you, and want to reward you for it.

The next day, it's impossible not to wake up with a hangover. You've had too much to drink with Tengen, and you can barely feel your legs now. Even though your body clearly didn't want it, you had to go to the next pillar training.

"Take care of yourself there. And be careful on the way, you look like you're about to fall over from being so tired. Didn't you sleep last night?" He says, pretending nothing happened. It was clear he remembered, he just wanted to play with you. "...I'll pretend I didn't even hear it."

He laughs. Patting you on the back, he says goodbye to you and wishes you good luck with Tokito. But, your plans didn't involve training with the mist hashira.

......

Your crow guided the direction you should follow, flying in the skies. Little by little, you can see Tomioka's mansion. The place was calm and the only thing that could be heard was the sound of a wooden sword hitting a massive straw training dummy. It was Tomioka, training completely alone.

You knock on his gate, but he doesn't answer or open it. He even stops making noise, trying to pretend he wasn't there. "Giyuu-san, you could be more receptive to your visits." You say, and you hear low, slow footsteps, as if Tomioka wanted to open, but was reluctant.

You were trained by the same master, Urokodaki. You, Tomioka and Sabito were an inseparable trio, before Sabito died in the final selection and Tomioka reserved himself like never before.

You ended up being alone, without your best friends and an indescribable void in your heart. Tomioka walked away from you for a few reasons: He didn't want to feel the pain of seeing you go if you died before him; I didn’t want you to suffer if he died; I didn't want you to find out that he was always in love with you.

It might be a silly reason, but his passion was old and he didn't want to be rejected. You didn't seem like a guy who would be attracted to him. Maybe Giyuu's inferiority complex would never let him be happy at any point in his life.

.....

As you remain lost in your thoughts, the other man finally opens the gate for you. Tomioka's crow will directly greet you, he seemed to like you and you liked that crow who was already old. Tomioka walks away after letting you in, he didn't seem to want to talk to you, or at least he was too nervous to do so.

"Aren't you even going to greet me, Giyuu?" You say, holding his arm to stop him from continuing to move away from you. He doesn't turn to face you, though. He still loved you, very much. But it's hard to deal with that when you're afraid of happiness.

Seeing that your friend wouldn't talk to you, you decide to take control of the situation. "Well, since you don't want to talk to me, let's train then." You grab a nearby wooden sword and get into position, surprising Giyuu. He thought that after not talking to you, you would go away and leave him alone, but that wasn't the case.

....

It turns out that you were still on the same level, nothing had changed. As kids, you could never beat each other, it always ended in a draw. And now, you are both sitting on Giyuu's garden. You could enjoy the sunset in complete silence while you both regained your energy.

"You shouldn't be here, should you? Pillar training isn't over yet." He says softly, but you can still hear it. His voice was as calm as ever. "I was supposed to be at Tokito-san's training. But I wanted to see you."

He doesn't say anything else after that, just looks away and goes back to the sky. You could feel his nervousness, even though normally his temperament was almost stoic all the time.

It really bothers you.

You hated seeing Giyuu, who was so smiley in the past, go into a shell and keep himself away from the rest of the world. If there was something bothering him, he would normally speak up before all this happened.

"Giyuu, I need to talk to you." "Hm?-" Before he can even ask or even answer, you pull him into his house. He looked dazed, his eyes were slightly wide and his mouth slightly opened in surprise.

When you arrive in his room, you pin him against the wall and look deep into the other man's eyes. You were the same height, so it wasn't a problem. Tomioka looks at you with even wider eyes, and his cheekbones seem redder than ever.

"I really understand what you went through, I also lost my best friend that day. But you need to stop blaming yourself, you need to stop sinking into this emptiness. I know I'm not the best person to help you, but please. I don't want to lose the person I trust and admire most again." And he just looks at you, doesn't say a word. But you could see his eyes already filling with tears and his hands starting to shake. It's even worse when you hug him. He couldn't help but cry this time.

You were never good with words, but damn, how you wanted to comfort him, hug him and tell him it's okay. "I..." That's all he can say to you, as he feels your face sink into his neck. "... That's unfair." He whispers softly, but you can hear it. You move away from the hashira's neck, but keep your arms around his waist. You couldn't understand what he meant by that. "Hm...? What do you mean by that, Giyuu?" And he just looks away while blushing.

And then, you realize.

"Oh."

You don't say anything else. You just realized why he's blushing, shaking, and looking away. It makes you blush too. You were so stupid, how did you not realize that Giyuu liked you, or at least had a certain crush?

"How long?" "Since we were kids."

And this was his turn to be wide-eyed. The difference is that you had a smile on your face. Reciprocal feelings are rare, but very beautiful. You had to let your instincts act, and placed a kiss on the water hashira.

...

"You're a virgin, right?"

"W-Why do you ask such embarrassing questions?"

You are very fast. It didn't take long for Tomioka to be completely naked in front of you. He was lying down, while you were sitting on top of him. Giyuu looked nervous and embarrassed, especially because it was his first time and because he was completely naked in front of you. Your actions didn't make it easier for him either.

"Sorry, Giyuu-san. Now, just relax okay?"

He nods and rests his head on the futon. You insert the other man's member into you, making him let out a soft, sweet moan. Tomioka never thought he would do something like this to you, it seemed like an impossible dream coming true for him.

....

You were holding each other as you rode him. It was a perfect feeling to hear his moans. His sweet moans were calm, sly and sounded like a song to your ears. His face was red, beads of sweat from the heat dripped from his forehead, and small bites were deposited on Giyuu's neck.

Your pace slowed until you stopped. It was as if it was fate, both of you had climaxed together. You let out a low chuckle when you see Giyuu's condition; eyes watering with pleasure, cheeks red and chest heaving up and down frantically.

"I have a sneaky feeling you liked it." You say, with a smile on your face. What surprised you was the smile he showed you, after so many years. "... T-Thank you, for that... ah..." You couldn't help but blush at that smile, it was one of the most beautiful things you had ever seen and you wanted to see it more often.

"For the record, I like you- No, I love you." "You know... The feeling is mutual..."

You both smile and lock your lips again. Giyuu may feel like he's not ready for a relationship yet, and maybe that's true. But you'll end up together. It's destiny.

Bonus lines!

"I came inside you... It's okay...?"

"Jeez... Hehe..." You say, while laughing nervously.

KNY HORROR MOVIE AU: GRASPING SHADOWS

Summary:

19-years-old Tomioka Giyuu receives a call from the local police of his old hometown, about his old guardian Urokodaki being arrested as a suspect for the missing children that have been going on for years. Returning back to prove the innocence of Urokodaki, Giyuu discovers a more horrifying truth about the missing children...while also trying to protect two strange kids that claim there is a 'monster' with many arms living in the mountain.

Storyline:

• When Giyuu was 13-years-old, his best friend Sabito suddenly went missing one day on a Summer night. The only thing that was left of him was a piece of fabric from his haori.

• Giyuu enters a university away from his hometown, only to receive the news about his guardian Urokodaki being arrested as the primary suspect of the missing kids in the hometown.

• While Urokodaki is being interrogated by the police, he manages to ask Giyuu to take care of two children that seek protection under his care; Tanjirou and Nezuko.

• Wanting to find a way to prove Urokodaki's innocence, Giyuu starts an investigation of his own about the missing kids.

• Along with the Kamado siblings, the three of them find clues that lead them towards the mountains that always have wisteria trees blooming around the base.

• Memories and the trauma of the past start to mess with Giyuu, rendering him to an emotional mess that he starts to see ghosts of Sabito

• Tanjirou and Nezuko can see the ghosts of the missing children, making friends with Sabito and Makomo along the way. Thanks to the children, they finally managed to find the roots of all the missing cases.

• The demon with many arms makes himself known, chortling as he begins to hunt the three humans through the mountain the dark of the night

• It turns out many of the missing children were orphans and helped by Urokodaki, who always gifted them with fox masks. Urokodaki had met the demon in his youth and trapped it in the mountain with the wisteria to cage him. Thirsty for revenge, the demon managed to lure every kids Urokodaki had saved and ate them. Sabito and Makomo were amongst the unfortunate ones.

• Giyuu tries to fight the demon off with the swordsmanship skills he learnt from Urokodaki, but since he stopped training after Sabito's death, he is easily defeated by the demon.

• His main defeat is mainly caused by the demon's taunting of Sabito's death, like how he ripped off the boy's head before eating him. Blinded with rage, Giyuu strikes the demon but then gets struck off his feet and injured.

• With the momentary distraction between the demon and Giyuu, Tanjirou managed to kill the demon with an axe by slicing the demon's head.

• The demon crumbles away in his death, turning into ashes. The fox masks belonging to the missing children were found in a cave at the feet of the mountain.

• Giyuu finds Sabito's mask and holds it close to his heart, finally finding the closure.

• With no supporting evidence, the police let Urokodaki go out of their custody. Urokodaki is told what happened and breaks down in tears.

• Graves for the kids are built, with each of their masks placed on every one. Giyuu places Sabito's mask on a grave as a sense of letting the past go while Tanjirou and Nezuko place Makomo's mask on her spot.

• The Kamado siblings are adopted by Urokodaki and Giyuu promises to take them to the city on holidays if he can as he prepares to return to university.

• As he leaves, the ghosts of the missing children are seen at the mountain. One by one, they turn and disappear into the mist, with Sabito and Makomo being the last ones as they mouthed the words "Thank you" to Giyuu and the Kamado siblings.

DEMON BUSTERS!! — About Nezuko

Next Part>>

<<Previous Part

And so, the long awaited Nezuko post has arrived!!! Sorry for the long wait everyone, I had to work out some lore stuff and this kept getting delayed, so let’s just get right into it! In case you don’t know or need a refresher, in this modern kny au the Demon Slayer Corps has updated and rebranded into the Demon Busters! People have been dying to demon attacks at alarming rates so to make their jobs easier they’ve been running ad campaigns! However this installment is a little different as this is NOT an ad campaign! To protect Nezuko they did not run an ad campaign on her. Instead, this is known as an ‘about’. Several other characters will be getting an about section but let’s start with our favorite girl Nezuko!

— Lore Dump Incoming!!—

In this au, Nezuko got turned on her birthday. It was supposed to be a fun celebration, she would spend the night at her friends’ house and then go home the next morning to help her family prepare for New Years. Of course when the day actually came, there were complications as Tanjirou would not let her go for whatever reason, stating that he had a “bad feeling” about it. But nothing ever happens in their small town! In fact, the biggest event in a long while was their father’s death a couple months prior. Eventually, after some back and forth they just chalked it up to him being paranoid and she was able to go.

It wasn’t just paranoia. Nobody knew that anything was wrong until the next morning. Tanjirou had gone to pick Nezuko up since nobody had heard anything from her, and was met with a gruesome sight. Just like in canon, Nezuko was the only survivor, but she seemed to be a little off… Firstly, she had tried to attack Tanjirou before quickly coming to her senses after a man called Giyuu Tomioka appeared, stating that he was a “Demon Buster” and she was a “demon” and that he had to slay her. And secondly she no longer had a taste for human food and just slept all the time! Luckily, nobody was slayed, and the siblings were instructed to find a man named Sakonji Urokodaki, Tomioka’s teacher. But they couldn’t just leave! Not after everything. So they came to an agreement: because Nezuko was able to quell her hunger and more or less function like a normal human, the two would go home for now, and then Tomioka would come to pick them up at a later date. As it turned out, in order for Nezuko to get her humanity back, she’d have to become a “Demon Buster”. A perfect way to bring in the new year..

In this au Nezuko keeps her humanity and is more of her own person. This makes it easier for her to get around and get info from other demons easier. She also conquers the sun slightly earlier, but we’ll get to that later. She wasn’t able to really show herself to her family that often until she was able to learn how to disguise herself from none other than Yushiro. Her having a sense of self and a personality separate to Tanjirou also allows for them to go their separate ways a bit more. Of course they stick together but it’s not like Nezuko is bound to the box. They have missions that sometimes requires Tanjirou to go completely solo, thus Nezuko is left to her own devices.

Overall, I really want to explore Nezuko’s character more and there’s so much more to her than what can be explained in a single post. I guess you’ll just have to tag along to find out more huh? This will also allow me to expand more on her relationship in regards to Zenitsu. In canon, it seemed a little one-sided since we weren’t able to get Nezuko’s point of view, but in this au I want to show more mutual interest so it doesn’t come off as weird as it did in canon. This also allows her to make her own friends (read: Muichirou, Senjurou, Genya, and more). Nezuko is a very fun character to explore in this au and I can’t wait to show you guys more!

Also did I mention that a lower moon is seeking to kill her? No? Oh, my bad.

———

Hey! Thanks for sticking around. Sorry this one took a while! After this we will most likely be getting Tamayo and Yushiro!! Inosuke and Kanao will have to wait a little bit longer because I still have to figure out things lore/design wise. As for Hashira, the next one will either be Giyuu or Shinobu! That’s all for now and thanks for all the support on this au!! Feel free to ask me about anything lore-related! I’ll see you in the next one!

sabito being giyuu’s first love and giyuu not knowing what to do, finding a little daisy

urokodaki finding giyuu plucking the petals off nd saying “he loves me, he loves me not” until he got to the last one

giyuu being upset bc the last petal was “he loves me not” and urokodaki rushing out to comfort him bc giyuu started crying 😭🙏

he’d also wish on the dandelions, blowing them away as he mentally pleads that sabito likes him back

he suggested going out to see the stars one night just so he could find a shooting star (there weren’t any)

sabito finding it all very adorable (giyuu was bad at being discreet about it) (also he heard giyuu mumbling in his sleep)

[pint-sized-pillars-au]

what’s the first thing you all want do once you get back to normal?

Mitsuri: I’m gonna go visit my family!

Kyojuro: Get back to training, and pick up the slack!

Shinobu: I’m looking foh’wad to being a doctor and scien’dis again… I have so much work to catch up on…

Muichiro: Wah. (Walk.)

Tengen: Spend lots of time with my glorious wives! I’m taking them on lots of dates, don’t you worry girls!

Obanai: Make up for los’ time, and make those “slayers” worthy of their title…

Sanemi: Get back to facking up some demons, obviously.

Giyuu: You two are weird.

Sanemi: Hey!

Giyuu: I’ll bring Mr. Urokodaki some food, and have lunch with him.

Gyomei: …

[tanjir0se]

OMG EXACTLY I understand completely, with characters like him and Tanjirou, I can't help writing what people must smell like to them, like genuinely it's just so fun to add in. No you don't need to know, but it's important. To me, that I tell the readers what people smell like to them

Same for Zenitsu's hearing, you WILL read about what others sound like to him..it's important

It's so fun..,,

YES! YOU UNDERSTAND ME

For me it’s a really fun way to make each perspective of the characters unique. Like of course Tanjiro would notice things like how someone smells. Or Zenitsu would have a set of sounds he associated with one person!!

And it can be used for evil also, as I am currently using it _(:3 」∠)_

[out-of-users]

y’all, we doin this again.

Kny hashira god au!

Chapter 2: The travel to Urokodaki

“Ngh…Nezuko..?” Tanjiro asked. Despite being knocked out, he still remembered everything.

As his eyes unblurred, he was able to look around him.

He could see his sleeping sister, the axe, rays of sunlight creeping in, his sister’s shriek of pain…

Wait. His sister was DECAYING IN FRONT OF HIM. Was it the sun? He didn’t know. He rolled the (now awake) Nezuko into the shade of the trees. So it was the sun then. She slowly started to regain herself, and Tanjiro was reminded of her feral outburst. He put a stick in her mouth with some breathing holes, as they camped out until night.

As soon as the sun faded, they set out.

“A man named Sakonji Urokodaki…” Tanjiro’s mumbled to himself. “According to the god, he’s not far from he—”

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” A bloodcurdling scream came from a house that veered him off course. Somebody could be hurt, or worse, dead.

Tanjiro slammed open the doors to find two dead people, and a monster. A demon.

Like Nezuko?

No.

He was a true demon.

He looked happy, and carefree as he tore these people apart, feasting on their limbs, sucking out their blood, taking their lives, it was disgusting. Tanjiro could only stare at the sight before him. The demon— no, demon seems too formal, The Monster locked eyes with Tanjiro, who was standing infront of Nezuko to protect her.

“Eh?! Don’t you know this is MY turf?” The demon menacingly said, raising a claw, revealing his bloodstained image, ready to attack.

“Something’s off about you, boy. What’s behind you?”

Busted. He knew about Nezuko. Oh god—

SLAM! A head hit the wall. Tanjiro’s first thought was: “WAS THAT NEZUKO?!”

But when he saw the demon’s head hit the floor, relief flowed through him.

But was a head supposed to have hands? Tanjiro didn’t think so. Was the head supposed to be chasing him? Tanjiro also didn’t think so.

And to add insult to injury, Nezuko passed out.

Something held onto him, raking it’s claws across his legs. The monster’s body was still moving, and so was it’s head. Great, a double threat. The body slowly was pulling him to the ground, as he tried to tussle it off. No good, he slammed his head into the demon’s ribs, and as the demon shrieked in pain, he got up. He gave it a good stomp, then he kept running, for both him and nezuko. He reached Urokodaki’s supposed house, and banged on the door.

“Please, help!” Tanjiro said. He kept banging on the door, before a hand grabbed onto his shoulder. Was it the demon? Was he too late? Was Nezuko going to die? All because she defended him and he didn’t fight well enough?

“Silence.” When Tanjiro turned around, he was greeted by an older man in a red tengu mask. He handed the boy a rock.

“You will kill this demon, bash it’s head in until it dies.” The man said. Tanjiro didn’t like the sound of that, though.

The demon may have had a past, and the fear in it’s eyes was evident. Was there a painless way to do this? All Tanjiro could do was just stare, rock still in hand, and demon’s head tied to the tree.

But when the sun hit, the demon shrieked as it decayed. Quite a vulgar display, swears and prayers alike being raised by the demon to try and keep it alive. The last thing to disappear was the eyes, so Tanjiro’s last look at the pitiful sight was the eyes, brimming with tears. Soon, there was nothing. All that was left was the sun, and the silence.

“Was the water god right? He’s far too kind for this.” Urokodaki thought, as he approached Tanjiro.

“Ever wonder where your sister went?” He asked

And that’s when Tanjiro realized his sister was gone. He looked everywhere around him to no avail. Was Urokodaki evil? Was he tricked by the god?

“Relax. I took her inside. but if she were to kill a person, others wouldn’t be so kind.” Urokodaki said, before a panic show could start.

“I know why you’re here, but care to elaborate?” Urokodaki asked.

“I met a god, and they said to come to you—” Tanjiro said, trying to explain the complex events that had occurred, from the fight scene to when he passed out, before being cut off.

“The water god believes you could be a shrine keeper. They slay demons and help keep the gods in order.” Urokodaki clarified.

“Will it help me save my sister, too?” The Kamado asked. It was clear to Urokodaki that he cared for his sister more than anything, despite her being a demon. Maybe, the water god was right. These kids were special.

“Yes. Now the big question, will you accept the required training?” Urokodaki asked, and held out a rough hand, clearly awaiting a refusal or a shake.

Tanjiro took it without hesitation.

“Yes, yes I do.”

A/N: YALL HELP WHY DID I LOSE SO MUCH MOTIVATION AND WHY IS THIS SO BAD? ITS SO GODDAMN SHORT, TOO! Anyways, on a lighter note, @zofi-persson I know you’ve been waiting for chapter 2, and here it is! Everybody, thanks for sticking through this so far, and I hope to see you all on the flipside!

[applepie-enthusiast]

Imagine an AU where Sabito suddenly wakes up , he notices his body has grown as if he had been alive since the Final Selection (21) and finds Urokodaki (ouch, please imagine Urokodaki having doubts and even testing that Sabito is not a shapeshifting demon, but when he confirms for real that IT IS Sabito, Urokodaki hugs him and cries, his other adoptive son is back.) and soon, Sabito learns that Giyuu is now the Water Pillar.

To say Giyuu is beyond shocked, him standing frozen as Sabito smiles at him and calls at him,

"Giyuu..."

Oh god, Giyuu missed his voice so much, but this can't be. Sabito seemed like he aged with him as well.

Sabito was dead.

Whatever demon plays this game is just tricking him, this is a cruel trick. Giyuu had learned from Tanjirou about that demon who gave dreams that victims wanted to see.

Except Giyuu is very much awake, and this is daytime.

There is no way that this is a Blood Demon Art.

"I know it's hard to believe, and you might never accept that is all happening, but I just want to say I'm proud of you." Sabito kept that fond look on his face, and finally, Sabito smiles at him gently.

Oh, how Giyuu's heart skipped a beat as he felt so many emotions all at once.

"I'm sorry for dying that time, and for not being able to say goodbye to you. But I'm back, Giyuu. I'm home."

It took a lot from Giyuu to not react and turn his back away, this is no way happening.

Tanjirou was also shocked to see Sabito but is otherwise overjoyed. It was not until Giyuu received a letter from Urokodaki that it is indeed Sabito, that Giyuu finally faced Sabito himself, and Giyuu hugged him tightly, and cried.

It was a silent cry, but his tears never stopped as he hugged Sabito tighter and tighter, as if letting go would equate to losing him the second time.

They reconnect, and Sabito caught up to everything. He even met the other Pillars and Oyakata-sama, suffice to say it took a lot of convincing from the Pillars to believe Sabito's existence.

However, Giyuu visibly changed bit by bit. He is still a tiny bit distant but is slowly opening up to others in general.

Sabito trained more and more with Giyuu, and after quite a time, he was also promoted as a Water Pillar.

While Giyuu was out, with Sabito walking outside, he met Sanemi, who walked up to him.

"Hey, are you for real?"

"What?" Sabito replies, and he observed how Sanemi was weirdly calmer than usual yet carried a certain air towards him at the moment.

"How long will you be here?"

"Pardon?" Sabito was starting to realize Sanemi didn't come here for a friendly chat.

"If you're just going to disappear again—"

Sabito cuts him off, "Our jobs are risky, but that doesn't mean I won't fight to stay alive."

Sanemi replied that he was starting to lose his temper. "You know that's not what I mean. Tomioka—"

Sabito winced, "What about Giyuu? What do you want?"

"First name basis?"

"Yeah, we're childhood friends, for now."

"If you really care about him, don't fuck around and—"

"Listen," Sabito paused, his tone just as threatening. "Whatever Giyuu and I have is none of your business."
