Tanjiro's POV:
My eyes flung open. I felt excruciating pain in my chest and I groaned. I was  extremely thirsty for blood, I looked around and found a glass of blood on the table. I cautiously picked it up and examined it. It looks and smells like the blood of a ordinary human. I shrugged and downed it down my throat. I let out a sound of satisfaction and smiled.

I saw Nezuko climb out of her box and stared at me. She made sounds of happiness under her bamboo muzzle as soon as she registered who I was.

 I smiled softly and sat up, walked to the bathroom mirror. I was curious on what I looked like now after the transformation. I see that my hair has gotten slightly fluffier, my eyes were bloodshot like Muzan-sama.

 My scars had multiplied, with the original bigger and smoother. My skin was a ivory-cream colour and it seems my skin is creamier than usual.

 My hands were finally free of callouses I had developed over my years as a Demon Slayer. I opened my mouth to see my fangs and oh my, they were sharp! I grazed my fingers over it and it left a small cut. I quickly bandaged it up to prevent infections.

I stepped out of the room, which I assumed was Daki's, given the amount of red lipstick (is it?), mirrors and bathroom products. The bright lights immediately got to my eyes as I groan once again. Once my eyes had adjusted to the lights, I looked around. No one was here. I don't even see Nakime, who is here 24/7. I went to Akaza's room, and knocked on it softly. 

No one answered so I went in and I see unusual amount of snowflakes, along fire..? It reminded me of Kyojuro Rengoku, the Flame Pillar. I shrugged it off, yet a weird burning feeling remained in my heart. I walked around and saw more fire, it was weird. Akaza's blood demon art isn't associated with fire, but ice. I then saw Akaza in the corner, hugging a cloak, fire designs surrounding it.

"..Kyojuro.. what a nice name~! I can't believe I did not help him back then at the train. " I heard Akaza say in a seductive tone before wearing  the cloak and spin with his eyes closed, blush filled his face. 

My eyes widened with horror. I ran out of his room, and into Douma's in hopes of comfort. I looked around for Douma, being careful to not fall into the icy cold water. I then saw Douma, I smiled and walked behind him, ready to scare him. But instead, I saw him holding a butterfly clip, he rambled on to no one in particular about how her eyes were so attractive and enticing.

 I felt tears burn my eyes and felt tears eventually roll down my face. He was saying the insect Hashiras name over and over. I turned around and walked out slowly out of the room.

They must have hooked up. I felt a agony sensation in my heart and collapsed to my knees. I gasped for air and looked for someone to help. No one was nearby nor around. I struggled to get up, once I was able to stand, I limped my way to the starry night sky. It was filled with stars of different sizes. I collapsed to the grassy ground, lying there with tears flowing. It was almost dawn, yet I didn't care. The amount of crying made me fall asleep, hoping I would wake up to my body crumbling away.


~time skip to morning~ (brought by Tanjiro little heartbroken feelings 👊)


I woke up to see the sun shining brightly into my eyes, it was about morning. My eyes widened and I scrambled up into a sitting position. I look down at my body to see it still intact. With no limbs disintegrating at all. I sat up and looked to my left, it was filled with a bunch of red spider lilies, and to my right is a meadow. I don't remember where I was but I eventually found my way to a big mansion. 

It was enough to fit a large group of 30 people. I saw people huddled up at the front of the gate, one with scars gazing into the distance, and another facing my direction. I yelped and hid behind the tree. They must have heard me as they swiveled my way and on with a butterfly clip stalked my way. I recognised it immediately, it looked similar to the one Douma was holding.

"Shinobu, are you sure you heard a sound from here?" I heard a annoying voice say.

"I'm sure, Sanwmi. It must be the pesky animal who stole my clip! And the other who stole Rengoku's cloak." Ah, no wonder Akaza and Douma got their things. I covered my mouth and breathed slowly, trying to calm my heart down. 

I felt her presence get closer and closer to me. I smelled the scent of flowers, and she stared at me in shock. She must have seen my appearance. I turned my head to face hers, as she looked in horror. I smiled, laughing to calm my urge to run.

"hi...?" I knew I was gonna get killed but I didn't care anyways.

"Shinobu, who's there? I heard a voice." I hear a deep voice say.

"T-Tanjiro..? Is that you..?"
