This is the love story between two fated enemies. Sworn to death to kill the other. Their love is forbidden as you could guess, however it gave them a sense of excitement. This thrill that any moment now they could be caught during their sinful fanaticises.

But what if they were actually caught? Would they flee and live the rest of their lives running together? Or would it be more tragic...?

This is the love story of Rengoku Kyojuro and Akaza; the forbidden lovers.

"Keep your eyes on me Kyojuro! Don't die on me now!" A demon, more specifically the upper moon three shouted while throwing punches; his style erratic yet elegantly enticing. He was currently fighting the flame pillar Kyojuro Rengoku; after their train had crashed with a fight against the dream demon - Enmu.

Tanjiro and Inosuke stood there stiffened, unable to join the fight due to their skills not being developed enough yet. All they could do was have hope in their superior and pray for the sun to rise faster.

"Don't die today Kyojuro! Become a demon!" Akaza prepared to counter Rengoku's attack, his keen eyes watching as the pillar steadied for his most powerful form. Rengoku wasn't in good condition, his right eye was crushed, several broken ribs and internal bleeding.

Luckily none of his injuries were fatal yet, however if he kept on like this till sunrise a very different outcome was to happen.

Kyojuro prepared his 'flame dragon' creating a swirling mass of fire in the shape of a mighty beast, his strong hands gripped tightly on the hilt of his sword. Eyes flashed with instinct, a prideful shout escaping the pillar's mouth as he charged against the demon while swinging his blade.

It all happened so quickly.

Dread filled Tanjiro to the very core as the smoke finally cleared. Akaza had his whole fist impaled through Rengoku's lower stomach, around the place of his lower abdomen.

"Kyojuro! You'll die! Say you'll become a demon!" Akaza's eyes shook with worry as Rengoku coughed blood; his hands loosing strength on his sword by the minute. Fortunately the sun was just peaking over the horizon as Rengoku plucked his last bits of strength and held Akaza in place as the sun grew closer.

"Inosuke! Go help Rengoku-san!" Tanjiro yelled desperately, seeing the pillar attempt to hold the demon still. Tanjiro could not move very fast due to the wound on his stomach, so fighting right now wasn't much of an option.

Inosuke did as asked and started to run in their direction, however he was a moment too late. Akaza managed to rip his arm away and retreat to the safety of the woods just in time; making a run for it while the sun wasn't up properly yet.

Tanjiro gasped as Rengoku fell to the floor on his knees, rushing to the aid of the pillar who's body fell limp in his arms. The burgundy boy further panicked as Rengoku's bright eyes slowly started to close from all his injuries.

"Rengoku-san!"

"You we're lucky Rengoku... if his hand would've impaled you even one more centimetre to the right then you would've died. The demon somehow missed all of your important vital organs" Shinobu Kocho informed, fixing the bandages on the pillar's abdomen and eye patch as he rested on the medical bed.

Of corse Kyojuro was happy he was alive, however he blamed himself for letting that demon get away. From his memory Rengoku could remember him to be called; Akaza. From his eyes also Akaza was an upper moon - three.
