The Next Day when Y/N woke up they did their daily Routine and Chores, They waited for the Perfect moment to say what they wanted to say to Taro till Y/N thought it's time.

"Taro?" "Yes?" "You said Demon Slayer's exist right and you are one of them.... I was thinking that I want to be a Demon Slayer too" "W-what?... But Y/N you're too young to be a part this kind Job plus what Happens if you die out there?" "I understand but right now It doesn't matter to me if I'm young, I want to Help people and Avenge my Family too!"
Taro stayed quiet for a Moment for he knows what the kid is Feeling, Avenging someone you love was the Reason why he became a Demon Slayer too. But this one, They're just a Kid yet he can see the Desperation and Anger in their eyes, He'd be lying if he said he wasn't Surprised.

"Alright... This is your decision, I am not your actual parent but Promise me one Thing kid,.... Be Careful and Stay safe out there" "That's the same thing" "That means You have to be Very careful" "Thank you Taro! I won't break that Promise" Y/N said as they Hugged Taro, He was Surprised by this action but he eventually Hugged back too.

"Taro when can I start Training?" "Hmm... Let's see there's a Former Hashira that I know, He uses Water Breathing but I was not trained under him" "You're saying that you are not the one who's gonna train me?" "Oh no Kid I might be a Kanoto but you need proper Training since you are young"

After Taro had said Y/N started Wondering if the said Trainer is Nice but when they asked about it Taro responded with "Some said He's Strict when it comes to Training, So I'm gonna Teach you How to wield a Katana the Proper way and concentration breathing" Y/N was intrigued with learning these that they Again asked if they Could start later and Taro agreed.

Few minutes Later

After Minutes of Y/N getting ready to go for their First training They wore a sleeveless male Yukata then grabbed the Wooden katana that they Bought from their Brothers
's collection 2 months ago, It made them somewhat happy to fulfill the wish that Haru wanted.

As they went outside they saw Taro already waiting "Alright are you ready kid?" "Yes!" "Let's start with Concentration breathing, if you focus on your Breathing, it'll increase the airflow into your body. So, when you use breathing for concentration, you allow more oxygen to enter your bloodstream. In response to this increase, the sympathetic nervous system in your brain - which triggers feelings of anxiety - becomes quieter."

He said, Y/N closed their eyes and focused on their breathing, They could feel their Lungs expand it pained them at first but after a few breaths the pain Vanished "I suppose you finally did It?" Taro interrupted as Y/N shook their head Yes
"Alright that's a Very good Start, Now let's go with the Katana" He started demonstrating on how to hold the Katana "You can try holding yours now" As Y/N held their Wooden Katana, Taro had to always correct them because of the position.

Once Y/N can Finally hold the Katana the right way Taro told Them to do 500 swings, 350 push-ups and Run for an Hour It made Y/N quite Surprised since they weren't expecting that.

Another 2 months had past it was now September 19** Y/N has improved throughout the past 2 months Especially with the weapon that Taro decided to give it to them so they Could be more Experienced with a real Katana, It is now Time to move up to the Next step.

"Hey Kid?" "Yes Taro?" "You've been Training with me For 2 months now, and I've seen that you have improved Greatly and To be honest I have never seen a Person to have held a Katana this Talented In just 2 months, I just wanted to I'm proud of you Y/N" He said with a Sweet sweet smile plasted on his Face It brought Y/N to small tears for they Remembered how their Parents and Older siblings say that to them too, It felt warm for them to hear those words again as Y/N hugged Taro and thanked him for being proud of them.

Time skip to Night Time

Taro Prepared the Dinner Table for Y/N as a little celebration for Their Improvement he Cooked Y/N's (F/f) and a Mushroom Soup they called Y/N "Y/N dinner is ready!" He yelled as Y/N went out of their room and sat down along with Taro then said 'Itadakimasu' as they ate their food,
"So kid you got everything Packed up for Tomorrow?" "Yes I did Father"...... Silence filled the room then Y/N immediately apologize for accidentally calling Taro father "It's alright kid, You can call me that whenever you're comfortable with it" "well I appreciate that.... Father, I'll be sure to call you that From now on then" "Thank you too Y/N" after that they ate their food in a Comfortable silence.

Morning came and it was now 4 am Y/N got ready to walk to Mt. Sagiri as Taro once again prepared Bento's along some extra Onogiri's just Incase since it will take 2-3 days before they reach their destination "Are you sure everything you need is Packed Y/N? What about your Katana?" "Don't worry father everything is with me now" "Great then when you get there write a letter to me my Crow will be sending it to me" "I will father, Thank you for training and Taking care of me Father and I Promise all you did For me will not go to waste" "You're Welcome kid and promise me too that you will Survive the Final Selection" I will, Goodbye father" "Goodbye Y/N" they both said their Goodbye's then Y/N proceeded to walk away with a wave and Smile plastered on thier face same Goes with Taro.......

"Time sure Goes by quick, that sometimes you wish for one more chance"

Y/N was walking when suddenly a Boy called them "Hey! Excuse me um Sorry to bother you but May I ask where are you Going little one?" "Oh I'm Going to Mt. Sagiri to Visit a Relative" Y/N lied as Taro told them that Demon Slayers are a Secret Organization and they couldn't risk that saying that information to a Stranger "Oh well I'm Going there too would you mind if I tag along with you?" "Sure I could use a Company too I guess" "Well Nice to meet you I'm Tanjiro Kamado but you can call me Tanjiro" "Nice to meet Tanjiro-san, My name is Y/N L/N and you can call me Y/N too" "That's a pretty name" "Thank you".

Y/N and Tanjiro talked to each other as they continued both of their Journey's to Mt. Sagiri not knowing that they are both Looking for the same person.
