Hmm yes, that Demon Slayer AU. But Entertainment District Arc and it's that one episode with Nezuko going crazy and Tanjiro calming him down.

And Daki is freaking Scaramouche, because short king and wont do fandango. Gytaro is Ei, because she deserves to be with her son. Oh and Tengen. Tengen is Itto. (Surprised he became a hashira)

Xiao kicked the demon through three houses as he screamed in pain from all the sudden anemo killing his insides. It tried to decapitate his head. He wouldn't die anyways, but it hurt a ton. As soon as the demons reached a house, Xiao smelled blood dripping down from a person's arm from all the action. He trembled at the smell and sight of the blood. The raven lunged forward at the person to attack, stopped by his lover with his sword covered.

"Xiao please calm down! Resist the urge!"-Aether

"Please forgive me! It was my fault for getting hurt like this!"-Aether

The whole area around them was covered in Xiao's blood. So much fighting he did to ensure for his lover's safety, and so that all of this could be over. He wanted to resist, but he hasn't eaten ever since that time on Mount Fujikasane.

"I know you suffered! I'm sorry it hurt you! Buts it's all okay now! I promise I won't let you get hurt again! Please Xiao, go to sleep! Go to sleep so you can heal yourself!"-Aether

Xiao pushed them up a floor, breaking the foundation underneath them. Aether yelled for his lover to sleep while a dark purple sash ripped open the walls attempting to find the raven

"You got some nerve doing that to me. I never heard of a Elemental Art that burns or harms demons. This is tiring me. Your burns are taking forever for me heal from. You're a real pain. A really annoying pain. No more Nice Upper 6."-Scaramouche

"This is bad. Really bad. There's people here that need protection, and Xiao won't calm down. Think Aether, think."-Aether

"Any second now, he'll attack. It will shred the whole building! If I let Xiao go, he'll hurt someone. But if I don't...these people will get hurt."-Aether

In a matter of seconds, Scaramouche attacked with his sash and Itto swooped in and broke the attack in pieces. The bystanders still shivered in fear. Xiao still was trying to escape his lover's arms.

"Hey. Is is this the little dude? Quite the flashy demon."-Itto

"When and how did you get here?"-Aether

Itto snarled at the blond and yelled at him because he believed that Aether was the student and he was the master. The silver haired said to stop the fancy talk and find a way to calm down Xiao.

"NO ONE SAID THAT A DEMON COULD BE THIS FLASHY!"-Itto

"Thanks for dropping in. You're a Hashira, right? I've been waiting for you here."-Scaramouche

"Shut up. I'm not here to waste my time on you. Get lost. Or do the fandango or something, I don't care."-Itto

"After all, You're no Upper Rank Demon. Not when you're that short and weak. You're not the one that I was sent here for. So get lost."-Itto

"Come again? How dare you call me short-" After that, Scaramouche fell to the floor, his head falling into his hands.

A/N: I really wanna put Razor as Inosuke and Zenitzu as Bennett. But their trio with Fischl would be broken😭.

"How is he beheaded?! Was that Mr Arataki who did that? He's crazy!"-Aether

"Hey, the battle is far from over. Get the little dude under control."-Itto

Xiao tried to attack Itto for calling him little dude. Aether restrained him from doing so, but he got stronger over time.

"Little people who throw tantrums don't belong in battle. Sing him a song or something."-Itto

Xiao jumped backwards onto the ground, Itto staring at them go. No matter what, Xiao still was trying to attack the hashira inside of the torn up building. Aether still restrained him from doing so.

"He doesn't recognize my voice at this point. It no use. He's not listening to me at all. Lumine. What do I do?"-Aether

The blond remembered about Itto saying to sing a song to her or something. The sad thing is, Aether doesn't really know Chinese that well. So he improvised and used the English translation.

A/N: So I couldn't find the English lyrics to the opera "Snow Treading". I'm quite upset because that was a play I went to as a child and that's the only foreign play I liked. Heck, I couldn't even find the lyrics that were correct so I used "The Divine Damsel of Devastation".

"Two loving souls. By death. Cruelly parted."-Aether

Xiao tried to break Aether's nose, but he still restrained his lover. He was ready to hurt someone.

"In madness. And grief . A dark path started."-Aether

Xiao stopped and opened his eyes. He saw his father taking him and his siblings to the opera in Liyue. Xiao laid in the grass waiting for it to start since they couldn't be around people.

"Alatus...Alatus. Listen to my voice. Two loving souls by death, cruelly parted. In madness and grief, a dark path started."-Zhongli

They walked the path back to the Wangshu Inn so Zhongli could get his teapot back from the owner. Xiao was holding his older sister's hand when he asked a question while his father was humming the song from the opera.

"So the reason that the lady was the savior of her town was because she was brave?"-Xiao

"Hey don't Father ask that because you didn't pay attention!"-Indarias

"But was the lady brave? The lady portraying her was pretty like a fish!"-Bonanus

Zhongli smiled at his kids. He hoped that Menogias and Bosacius weren't stirring up trouble again with the workers

Xiao started crying. He missed his family. He missed his siblings. The only person alive from his family was his father, and he was head of the Demon Slayer Corps. His siblings suffered the same fate as Lumine, only Xiao was still young and didn't understand anything. The raven turned small and cuddled alongside his lover's leg.

"Xiao?...It worked. You hear that Lumine? It worked. He's asleep. And you said that I can't put children to bed."-Aether

The raven heard that and smacked his leg. Then he was sound asleep.

"Owww. Wait, Mr Arataki!"-Aether

End. Stop pestering me now, i hungry
