Born the daughter of a lowly florist, Y/N has grown up with the expectation to marry a rich boy and make her family proud. But when a demon from the country destroys her village, Y/N is introduced to her god father who teaches her the ways of a Demo...
Over the course of a year. Y/n had been tutored and trained into the perfectly woman. She had received lessons in etiquette, calligraphy, shamisen, tea making and ceremonies, even on a few defensive arts. But never she forget her roots. The master was kind enough to gift her a small garden inside of her grounds by the room she lived in. Here she grew flower and herbs which she donated to the butterfly mansion. Every other Friday she would go and visit the mansion, helping out around the estate and occasionally inviting Kano, Aio and even the triplets to enjoy the hot springs in the master's grounds. It wasn't all lonely however. Sometimes Tanjirou would come to visit along with Zennitsu and Inoske. She had even been fortunate to meet little Nezuko who she had grown close with. Zennitsu always greeted her with a bright smile and a love confession which made her giggle. However most of the time she would be alone. In her room being left to her own means of entertainment which were little. But she survived thanks to her little good luck charm. A piece of Rengoku's cloak he had cut off for her which was now tied to a hair pin she wore everywhere. The note that came with it was also sweet.
"Y/n, Please do not forget my face as I am away. I know that by the time we all return you will have turned into a fine young woman. I cannot wait to see the fine character you have become.
Never forget my face, - Kyojuro Rengoku"
She found it so sweet that she had written this for her. But sadly she wasn't able to stick to her word. As the the new year arrived her lessons became more difficult. She was made into a more quiet and reclined lady who almost never smiled. She learned to only speak when spoken to, she was taught to look at sexual and romantic advances with disgust, she even had to abandon her love for gardening as her lessons continued. Any chance she had of returning to her old wild self seemed to vanish. She was alone, quiet, gone. Despite this, Tanjirou began to visit even more. Telling her about his missions and journeys, filling her in on the whereabouts of the Hashira and sometimes he even brought her souvenirs. One in particular is what brought her back to the light.
"While I was on one of my missions, I came across a demon who had stolen demon slayer blades. I saw this one and just knew you had to have it!" Tanjirou pulled out a beautiful blade. It was shorter and not as curved with a beautiful black blade and purple designing.

"It's called wakizashi! They're not as long as a normal sword but still can pack a punch!" The young woman looked over the blade. Her eyes widening but she kept her mouth closed as was excepted of her. Tanjirou frowned. "You don't always need to be so serious Y/n, you may be the goddaughter of the master but you're also my friend!" The young boy beamed at her as Y/n was able to smile. "I suppose." She managed a smile as she carefully took the blade. Tanjirou handed her the sheath which had even more detail and designs. "It's gorgeous. Thank you." Now they both were beaming. But suddenly, the young boy pipped up again.
"I almost forgot! I'm going to the butterfly mansion tomorrow! Would you like to come? Miss Kocho will be away but the triplets and Aoi will be there!" Y/n sighed as she remembered she lessons tomorrow. "No, I'm afraid not." The red head sighed. "Aww man. Well. Just know that if you ever need me, my crow is always nearby." She giggled. "I'll remember."
"Well, I best be off. I need to and check up on the others to make sure they're ok. I'll see you later Y/N!" Tanjirou bowed and got up. He gave her one more smile before taking off. Perhaps it wouldn't be a bad idea to sneak out after all.
It was still early afternoon when Y/N was in the middle of her lessons. However, thanks to her instruction getting a headache she was able to do as she pleased. She quickly got up and dressed into something more suitable. She gave the master a bow and told him she'd be out for a few days since she wouldn't just be visiting with Tanjirou. Finally, she grabbed the small blade Tanjirou had given her an set out towards the butterfly mansion.
(
In this AU, the Mugen train nor did the demons really take over the entertainment district. But for the sake of the story I'll say that a minor one did.)
Y/n hummed as she walked up the road to the mansion. She was dressed up to do some work and then be able to change so she could enjoy the hot springs. And with spring here, what better than the hot water and the cool air. She continued to walk until she heard crying. She sprinted to the mansion and through the gates to see the triplets all panicking. "What happened?" She asked. Kneeling down to comfort them. "T-tanjirou and everybody were taken away by a big man!" Sumi cried as she hugged Y/N. The other two also held her. "A-alright.." Y/n didn't quite know what to do. Part of her knew that they would probably be alright but she had her doubts. "Did that man say where he was going?" Naho nodded. "The entertainment district!" Wait. That place? OH HELL NAW. Y/n was fuming. No friend of hers was gonna be taken there against their will. "Don't worry girls!" The triplets looked up. "I'll go to the entertainment district and rescue Tanjirou and the others!" The three cheered and Y/n rose and made her way outta the gates to down the road. But sadly, if she had stayed a second longer, she would've been able to hear Aoi tell the full story..
