My Beloved (Demon Slayer Fanfiction)

#16

"Will you please marry me?!" Rengoku yelled again, "I don't have a ring yet, but, I love you so much! You make me so happy, whenever I'm around you I just want to hold and hug you forever! Not only are you the only person I see as a woman, but, you're my first and only love. I want to care for you whenever you get sick, or injured. I want to wake up to you everyday, and I want to start a large family with you!"

Rengoku's hands tighten more, but not enough to hurt Aki's. "I want to have ten children with you!" He yells with his whole chest, "the idea of having little Aki's running around makes my heart flutter from excitement, I may be too much to handle, but, I will do everything I can to help you forever! Or until we both die when we reach one hundred years old!" Aki continued to stare at Rengoku with eyes as wide as a plate; her words were stuck in her throat.

"So," Kyojuro asks with a loving gaze, "will you please be Aki Rengoku?" Her lips finally part, "eleven," small tears of joy start running down her cheeks with a sunny smile, "let's have eleven children instead." Kyojuro's eyes twinkle like diamonds as he jumps to his feet, wrapping his arms around Aki's waist before spinning her in the air.

Aki holds onto his shoulders as they both laugh; Rengoku puts her back on the ground before giving her face multiple quick kisses. "I'll be off now! I'll come back as soon as I can so we can get married right away!" She blinks in shock but nods, "Alright, goodbye, my husband."

Rengoku laughs and doesn't stop waving back at Aki as he walks away, "husband," she sighs as the smile on her face spreads, "and I'll be his wife." Aki's bird lands on her shoulder not long after Rengoku had left; there was a mission assigned with Sanemi and her.

~10 Minutes Later~
~Aki P.O.V~

"I was just about to leave without you, Aki," Sanemi says with his usual angry tone, "the hell took you so damn long?" My legs are practically numb from yesterday with Rengoku, and my voice is still stale! I'm surprised that I can even jog in my condition! "Im sorry," I say with a bow, "I was just exercising and my legs are sore from it."

Sanemi sighs and rolls his eyes, "it sounds like you've been slacking off on your personal training, if you'd exercise regularly then your legs would feel just fine." Thank goodness he bought it; I would die if he found out what really happened. Sanemi looks closely at my face, "you seem odd, there's some sort of glow radiating off your face."

I run beside him before I answer, "there is? I hadn't noticed." It's probably from all the smiling I was doing earlier; even now, I want to continue; smiling is such a pleasant feeling; I'd nearly forgotten what it felt like. "Anyways, our mission should take around a month or so to complete," Sanemi explains, "we need to make a stop at ten different villages. They each have one demon that moves fast like us, so we were the perfect picks for this job."

"I understand," I say, "I'll make sure your training on me wasn't a waste of time." Sanemi doesn't respond to me immediately; I'm not sure what I saw was wrong, but the corner of his lip curved slightly. "You better keep your word, because if you don't, then I'll make re-training you a living hell." My body got cold after that; he's dead serious too.

~Three Days Later~

As I was about to slice the demon's head off from behind, Sanemi zooms past me and decapitates it first. It happened in the blink of an eye! "Too slow," he says as he swings the blood off his blade, "you're faster than before, but, you're still years away to catch up to me." I feel my eye twitch a little, "that's the second time you've done it! I know we need to hurry but, can't you let me kill at least one demon?!"

He turns to me and narrows his eyes, "I'm not holding you back, you're just not on the same level as I am. Even if your kill count is forty-seven, that doesn't mean you have the same speed and power of a Hashira." I look down at my blades; he's right; I let my anger get the best of me; I even raised my voice at Sanemi for the first time.
