It's been three years since you asked Kyojuro about becoming a demon slayer. He started training you, and as you continued to grow stronger, he grew less and less worried about your survival. He had to admit, you might've actually been better at fighting  than him. Although you were ready for the Final Selection Exam, he wanted to train you for one more year until he let you venture off on your own.
"Y/N, after three years of intense training, I give you my permission to take the Final Entrance Exam!"
He looked at you with a proud smile on his face.
" I am! When will it be?"
Kyojuro thought about it for a while until he spoke "If I'm not mistaken there should be one in a few days, if you leave here tomorrow you should arrive at Mt. Fujikasane by the day of the exam."
You nodded your head and ventured inside your home, you gathered a couple of your things and set them out for you to take them in the morning. 'This is it' you are finally going to fulfill your dream! You brightly gleamed with delight and decided to prepare lunch for everyone.
Once the meals were finished you yelled "Everyone, lunch is ready!"  As they all started to sit and eat, Senjuro broke the silence and asked " Y/N, when will you get back from the Final Selection Exam?"
You looked at Kyojuro, he looked back at you with a warm smile. " I should be back in a week."
The conversation was about to be over until Shinjuro decided to speak his mind, "what? How come I was never informed of this! Kyojuro, Y/N is your wife! Are you seriously going to let her die taking that dam exam! If I'm being entirely honest, Y/N is supposed to have already bore one of your children already! Not doing whatever this... demon slayer training crap!"
You turned red at his vulgar yet uncalled for statement. Children? You haven't even thought about that, you almost forgot that Kyojuro was your husband. You were snapped out of your thoughts by Kyojuro telling his father off. You have never seen him angry before, in fact,  you had to admit this side of him scared you.
"Father, Y/N is a grown woman, she can do whatever she desires! It is very disrespectful to talk about her that way! Just because you couldn't have the life you wanted doesn't mean you have to ruin everyone else's!" Kyojuro's once friendly eyes were replaced with anger and resentment.
"Father, Brother, please stop fighting!" Senjuro pleaded. Senjuro looked at you anxiously. Kyojuro never snapped at his father that way even in their most brutal arguments.
You didn't know what to do. You didn't know whether to let them fight or do something. You raised your voice and said "Shinjuro, I've stopped trying to earn respect from you a long time ago, you have no right to be telling me what I should be doing! I keep the house clean and your stomach full ever since I came here so why can't I do one thing for myself!" 
Shinjuro quickly turned his head towards you and brought up his hand to slap you until you stopped him with your hand.
"Hitting me isn't going to work anymore, Shinjuro. Whether you like it or not, I'm going to take the final selection exam and I'm going to come back alive."
You threw his hand onto the table and stormed off into the room you and Kyojuro shared.
You decided you were going to leave tonight, you couldn't bare to stay  anymore then you had to.
As you were about to head out of the gates of the estate, you heard Senjuro run towards you, crying.
"Y/N! I'm so sorry, if only I hadn't brought up the Final Selection Exam none of this would've happened! Please don't leave yet!"
You frowned, you set your stuff down on the ground and held Senjuro who was currently crying his heart out. "Senjuro, it would've happened either way, he was bound to find out somehow. And besides he will probably forget about it in the morning." You chuckled to yourself, not because you thought it was funny but to lighten the mood. "I'm sorry though, I have to leave, I will be back, just you wait."
Senjuro let go of you and looked at you with tears in his eyes. "Are you sure?"
"Yes, I am"
