Giyu Tomioka - Demon Slayer

Original - Not Requested

(Female Y/N)

You were on your way to visit Urokodaki with your brother, Tanjiro, and your twin sister, Nezuko. It's been a year since Nezuko became a demon and you and your brother still haven't figured out how to change her back. Luckily, she's been able to control herself and still sleeps a lot instead of needing blood. Right now, she is asleep in the wooden box on Tanjiro's back. 

During your earlier stay with Urokodaki, Tanjiro trained to become a demon slayer and learned water techniques from Urokodaki while you watched over Nezuko. You had also received lessons from Urokodaki but not as crucially as Tanjiro did. You also did not go to the mountain with Tanjiro. Instead, you stayed with Urokodaki to make sure Nezuko was okay and practiced swordsman skills with Urokodaki. You did not keep a journal like Tanjiro did because you and Nezuko had not learned to write yet but you could read. So instead, you would draw yourself doing something that you had done that day. Many of the pictures were of you and Urokodaki training or of Tanjiro practicing. A few pictures show Nezuko sleeping to show her progress. 

As you approached Urokodaki's house, you could sense someone in the trees. While Tanjiro had a heightened sense of smell, you had a sensitive touch. You stopped and put your hand on the trunk of a tree. Indeed. Someone was jumping through the trees. One. No, two people. 

"Tanjiro." Your older brother turned sideways at the sharp whisper of his name. When he saw you touching the tree, he turned all the way around and scanned your face. You nodded upward slightly and he tilted his head up and sniffed the air. He stayed still for a few seconds before meeting your gaze again. You knew whose scent it was once his eyes met yours. You and your brother began to walk toward Urokodaki's house again but this time side by side with your guard up. 

Soon, just as both of you had predicted, two figures wrapped in black fabrics to hide their identities jumped from the trees and out at you and your siblings. You swiftly knocked lightly on Nezuko's box and she leaped out in battle stance, completing the triangle defense formation. 

The slimmer figure landed on their feet in front of you and Nezuko and the other in front of Tanjiro. You and your twin lunged at both sides of the figure as Tanjiro and the other person dueled with their swords. Nezuko had her claws out and sharp and you whipped out the bow staff Urokodaki had given you when you stayed with him. The figure took out a sword, one that you immediately recognized - a Nichirin blade. Those were the swords that only Demon Slayers get. You quickly look over your shoulder at the other figure who, sure enough, also wielded a blue Nichirin blade.

You quickly signal to Nezuko to not hurt them but don't show any hesitation. You give the same signal to Tanjiro as well as a signal of who these people are. After battling it out for over twenty minutes, the sun is almost completely below the horizon and both of the disguised figures are on the ground, hands up in surrender. 

Tanjiro retracts his sword from its position pointing at one of the figures and rests it on his shoulder, you do the same with your bow staff. 

"All right," you say, in a certain tone. "We already know who you are, might as well trash the disguises." 

The two figures look at each other, one of them laughs as both of them removed the black clothing, revealing a cheerful Urokodaki and an approving Giyu Tomioka. 

"Well done, you three," Urokodaki says, clasping a hand on Tanjiro's shoulder. "You all did great. You expected the attack, defended against it, got the attackers to surrender, and you had already identified the attackers as well." 

Tanjiro beams at the compliments and Nezuko climbs back into her box. 

You jokingly poke Giyu's arm, tilting your head at him with a grin. "I didn't know you were visiting too."
