POV first person M!Y/N

"So, you're saying that F!Y/N saved Lowermoon 5, you can turn into a demon, you eat demons to live, and Rui promised to never eat humans again?" Said Zenitsu. He was surprisingly calm.

"Yup. Also, try to speak quietly, F!Y/N was badly injured" I said quietly. Zenitsu and Tanjiro nodded.

"Is Rui gonna be a mamber of the corps now?" Mumbled Inosuke. I turned towards him.

"Maybe. It's his desicion" I replied silently. He 'mhmed' in understanding. F!Y/N tesed suddenly, and let out a sigh. She slowly opened her eyes.

"Wh-where..." She cut herself off with a cough. I helped her sit up. Rui stirred next to her, arm still wrapped around him. It was almost night, meaning me and Rui would go outside, me to find a demon to eat, and Rui to just be able to go outside. I felt about to disintergrate. I stole a pillow from the next bed and used it to prop her up. Rui jumped down on the floor and placed his chin on the bed. F!Y/N ran her fingers through his hair, and he closed his eyes in comfort.

"Well, I'm going to go find a demon, I'm starting to disintergrate" I said. I held up my hand, and sure enough, 2 of my fingers were disintergrating slowly. Zenitsu looked horrified, but Tanjiro and F!Y/N nodded. I left the Butterfly estate and entered the nearby woods. I soon spotted a demon feating on a carcass, a human one.

"Well well, another dumb human. Must be my lucky day" It screeched, and lauched itstelf at me. I grabbed one of my swords and scliced it's arm off. I took a few bites, and the disintegrating stopped and I started regenerating. The demon looked horrified at the arm in my hand. I quickly scliced through it's neck, ending it's life. It puffed into dust in a few seconds. I took a final bite of the arm and threw it away. I heard a rustling noise, too loud to be a demon.

"Show yourself!" I shouted, pointing with my sword. Suddenly, Genya fell out of a tree. I burst out laughing, and seathed my sword.

"Ow. Don't laugh. It hurt like hell" He grumbled, massaging his right sholder. This just made me laugh harder. He got up, and looked over at me. I sobered.

"Genya, did you tell the Pillars about me eating demons?" I asked. Genya flushed in emarrasment.

"I- Yeah. They were shocked, you're one of the only people known to be able to eat demons" He said, his face and ears pink.

"Oh..." I trailed off as I started walking. Somewhere. Genya followed me, and we chatted about whatever came up.

"Why did you decide to become a slayer?" Asked Genya. I looked up to the crecent moon.

"My parents dissapeared, and our aunt, who was taking care of me and my sister, got killed my a demon. I swore to never let that happen to my older sister, and the bast way was being a slayer. My sister had the same reason, exept she took it way more seriously." I sat down on the edge of a hill. I could see the lights of the Butterfly estate in the distance. Genya sat next to me.

"So, what about you?" I asked. He stiffned. Then he sighed.

"My dad got killed by a demon, so my mom had to take care of 5 of us. But one night, a demon attacked. My mother and older brother went to protect us, but brother returned badly hurt and covered in blood. I had gotten a gash on my face" He looked up, and I clearly saw the large scar that spanned from his right ear to his nose,"Right before dawn, I awoke to find everyone dead. I looked outside, and brother was there, with a bloody knife in hand, and our mother in front of him. I thought he'd murdered her. So I told him. She had turned to a demon, so she disintegrated at dawn."

"Brother then left to become a slayer, and when I was 13, I followed his steps. but..." He hesitated before continuing,"My sword didn't change colour, so I didn't have the required skill to be a slayer". He looked down, his hair hiding his face. I thought he was thinking, until I saw tears fall on the grass.

'Woah. He really has a sad backstory' I though. I sidled up to sit next to him, and wrapped around him. I didn't say anything. I just let him cry into my sholder, and he ended up falling asleep on me. I remained alert if a demon attacked. Everything was peaceful. I had one question, though.

Who was this 'Older brother' that killed their mother?

POV first person F!Y/N

I looked out of the window, and saw the distant figure of my brother with another peron I couldn't recognize. I still had my bandages, but it didn't hurt to move now. Not as much, anyways. Dawn broke from the east. I smiled as Rui stirred and hugged me.

"Morning, sleepyhead" I whispered. My voice was still pretty damaged. Rui mumbled an incompehensible good morning. I was always the first awake. I sat down on my bed again. Rui climbed up on the bed and rested hishead on my sholder.

"F!Y/N, can I have some blood?" He asked quietly.

"Sure" I replied, and carefully unwrapped a bandage on my hand. It was a smaller but deep cut, and I grabbed the small bowl I was given. I squezed my hand to a fist, and a small trail of blood dripped into the bowl. I re-wrapped the bandage as Rui sipped the bowl. I smiled and finished wrapping the bandage. I looked out of the window and saw that my brother was walking back to the estate, with the person in piggyback. They were asleep.

"Well Rui, I think you should get under the blaket now, It's dawn" I mumbled. Rui finished sipping the blood and nodded. He grabbed a thick, but light, blanket, and jumped up to his corner, where he'd made a small web to sleep. He rolled into the blanket and ended up as a Rui blanket burrito, looking adorable. Plus the sleepy face. Cuteness overload. I internally screamed at the adorable bean I had practiaccly adopted. I heard the front door open and close, and M!Y/N appeared in the hallway, carrying... Genya?! He went into another room and shut the door behind him.

"What the fu-" I cut myself off, as Rui was still awake.

"Whatever"
