Charred Love- Rengoku x Reader

1: Arranged Marriage

Y/N L/N was a beautiful girl, her hair reminded people of grass on a windy yet calm day. Every so often the wind would blow on the grass causing it to move in the direction of the wind. So carefree.
Y/N had so much potential, but  was born into a family who could care less about her. She was the oldest of 6. Her job was to care, clean, feed, and entertain her mother's children. Everyday she thought about becoming a demon slayer and finding someone to train her so she can take the Final Selection Exam.
Unfortunately, her duties of being the eldest daughter to a poor family came first and ruined this dream. As she was about to come home from her job, she was greeted with her mother smiling warmly at her. This was indeed a rare occurrence. So whatever Y/N's mother was smiling about, it couldn't have been good.

"Hello my dear Y/N! How was work today?"
You looked at your mother, confused as to why she is acting this way towards you.
" It was fine, everything was hectic, but nothing I couldn't handle."
You gave her a teethy smile. Maybe she has changed after all these years .
"I'm glad! Darling, I have a question for you."
You decided to sit down and cuddle your baby brother who was currently babbling at you.
"What is it?"
"Well, there is this wonderful man named Shinjuro Rengoku who has a very handsome son! And.... I was talking with him the other day about how tight we are in our finances and that we are barely making it by!"
You set down your baby brother, worried about the rest of what your mother had to say.
" Then the kind man, offered a hefty amount of money to us in exchange for you marrying his son! So like the mother I am, I wanted to make sure my  children have food for tomorrow and.... and the rest of their lives!....... So, I took the money!"
You stood up from where you were sitting. "What! Mother! Why didn't you talk to me about this first! You know I wanted to become a demon slayer, if you would've let me find a mentor and take the Natural Selection Exam, I would've been making big bucks!"
Your mother rolled her eyes, " oh please Y/N, do you really think you could become a demon slayer! There aren't any demons in this world, I have no idea where you heard such a ridiculous idea from!"
You walked back and forth, tears starting to from around the edges of your eyes.
" So your seriously going to marry me off to some.... some stranger!" Your voice starting cracking, and the tears are now pouring down your delicate face.
"I'm doing it for my family, now, you better not disappoint me Y/N. The wedding will be held in a couple of days. I expect you to be a good wife."
As your mother spoke she called for the rest of the children to come eat for supper.
" what about my siblings, I can still see them right?!"
Your mother gave you a look that made you feel stupid. " uh, no! There isn't going to be enough money for you to be here. Your going to live at the Rengoku residence from now on." Your mother squinted her eyes and held her forehead. " ugh, Y/N your seriously giving me such a pain in my head, will you please stop your nagging and just do what I think is best for you!"
Anger boiled inside of you, all the years of your mother neglecting you and your siblings have finally turned from sadness to anger, you couldn't hold it in anymore.
"what's best for me! Are you serious! You have no idea! All my life you've been a terrible mother to me and my siblings. You. Know. Nothing!"
Your mother looked up at you, and so did your siblings. Once they saw you crying, they started crying too. And now the house was filled with crying children.
"Look what you've done Y/N! I am so happy to finally get rid of you! I feel so bad for Mr. Rengoku! You are such a pain to deal with! Now leave me alone and stay away from me until your wedding day!"
You slowly walked back, your crying turned into sobbing, you went to your room, which is technically all your siblings room. You had a couple of hours to cry until they came to sleep. So you took the chance to cry your heart out. And then you fell into a deep slumber.
