Saishu's P.O.V: (6 years old)

"Sabito, Giyu. Are you both ready" Urokodaki-san asked both my brother and his best friend Sabito as they both would start their journey as demon slayers starting at the Final selection.

"Hai!"

As they replied Urokodaki placed both his hands on both the boys head, patting them wishing them luck, As I stood behind our trainer with Makomo I gave them a look of sympathy telling them to come back soon, my brother noticed what look I was trying to tell them as he spread his arms signaling me to come as so I did.

"Don't worry Saishu, Nii-san and Sabito will come back as soon as the selection is over" My brother Ginii reassured me as I began to tighten the hug around his waist.

"Promise?"

"Promise!"

Soon after I started feel someone ruffling my hair, I tilt my head to see no other than Sabinii ruffling my head.

"Don't worry Shu-shu-chan we'll be back safe and alive so don't worry, besides Makomo is with you" he joined our little chat as I began to gain my composure and said my goodbyes to them.

As both their figures were out of sight I couldn't help but sigh as I now began to miss them this soon. Later on a hand was placed atop my head to face my trainer Urokodaki-san trying to reassure me that they would come back in the next following week.

"Go back and start training in the mountains, I want you to go stand under the waterfall, as Makomo will continue swinging her sword" as soon as he said those words I can feel my soul leaving my body as Makomo couldn't help but laugh at my reaction which made an irk mark on my forehead.

3rd Person's View:

Giyu came home late and alone, his eyes were puffy he was covered in bandages all over his body, his clothes were stained with his blood with his face covered with dry tears and dirt, his body was limpy as he was carrying a bag with his new demon slayer uniform and a haori.

As he reached the shelter he began to shake as he doesn't know what to do or say, then later on he slid the door open to see his sister, his sister's best friend and trainer eating.

"Ginii-chan! You came back!" Saishu exclaimed running towards her brother and later on she sensed a missing presence with her brother.

"Where is Sabinii?..." The question made the ravenete boy tensed up and eyes to water as Makomo from behind began to stand up look at Giyu with worry.

"Ginii?..."

"I was too weak. . ." giyu finally spoke making the girl more confused as the trainer and the other girl is already aware of what the boy meant.

". . . Huh?. . ."

"I COULDN'T PROTECT HIM I WAS TO WEAK!" Giyu yelled collapsing on the doorstep as Saishu stood there still confused.

"HIS DEAD SAI, HIS DEAD! ITS ALL MY FAULT I COULDN'T PROTECT HIM I WAS TO WEAK!"

Those words struck Saishu's heart, she can feel her breath getting uneven, her heartbeat was rising and was ripping it self to pieces, she began to sweat all around her body, her legs began to weaken that she collapsed onto the ground, and her eyes began to water. Her chest hurts, she didn't know what to do she wanted some comfort then she began to hug her brothers waist with her brother wrapping his arms around her shoulder as they both began to mourn for their dear friend's lost. As for the trainer he couldn't help but cry under his mask another of his disciples died as Makomo couldn't help but to collapse aswell and started crying and whimpering.

Later on the Tomioka siblings finished their supper and bath as they both continued to mourn wrapping with each others embrace, Saishu continued to cry on her brothers shoulder with her arms wrapped around his neck and legs around his waist like a koala while Giyu simply sat beside a wall in their shared room his arms wrapped around his sister's waist with his other arm stroking her hair to make her stop crying. Saishu wanted to know what happened during their final selection, what did they feel? How many people passed? What does the place look like? How did everything go? Giyu didn't want to talk about it, but he thought that talking about the event to someone he cherished the most about the event will help ease him. He began to explain everything how many people was there, how they felt, how the location looked like and how the selection was held then he began to explain to Saishu about the hand demon that would kill or devour every desciples of Urokodaki/child that wears a fox warding mask. With Giyu explaining Saishu's hug tighten as she began to feel shivers down her spine.

'If I encounter this demon in Final Selection, does that mean that thing is going to kill me' Saishu thought to herself as she began to feel scared tears watering out her eyes.

"I promised him... that one day... I would teach him all the forms and techniques...*sobs* in rain breathing..." Saishu mumbled to herself.

"Ginii. . ."

"Hmm..."

"Are you going to leave me aswell?. . ." The question made Giyu stopped breathing for a moment as he thought of something then he began to hug her tightly the same way he hugged her when she was only a baby.

"I already lost mom... then dad... then Tsutako-nee-san... and then Sabito... I can't afford to loose you. . . Your the only one I have left..." He whimpered tightening the hug.

"Ginii when we become demon slayers... promise me... you won't leave me, okay?" Saishu stated worried that her brother will leave in the following days to start his job on demon slaying.

"Don't worry, if we ever meet again as demon slayers... We'll be together no matter what...

Wherever we go, we'll always be together"

With those words Saishu felt a relief in her chest as those words her brother said will be carved in her heart and mind.
