Die Young, Dream On

Spa

Pov: Tanjiro

An old lover? Hm, this will be interesting.. I wonder what happened to them..

I glanced up at him, "Really? Who was it? Are they okay?" Maybe I shouldn't have asked that, he gave off the scent of sorrow. "Well, you see. They're dead." Oh.

"If I may ask... how?"
"Well, thankfully it wasn't due to do a demon attack. It was due by natural causes. She... she was sick. And there wasn't much we could do about that. All we could do was be there until she passed." I didn't mean to push.. but I really wanted to know. "And the funny thing is.. we were only kids when she died.." What? You.. how old were you when this happened?? I wanted to ask that, but he answered before I even had time to breathe in this new information. "We were only five.."

Ain't no way.. Five?? That's too young to even be going through that... And I probably wasn't even born yet..

"She died in March.. I remember because my father planned something special in that month, but I don't really remember the exact date. But before she died, she gave me this necklace, as a symbol of love. That she'd always love me and I'd always love her. Don't get me wrong, I still love her, but obviously in a different way now. I just.. I just wish she at least got one more chance at life..." He's so heartbroken. It hurts. But I think the love they had was genuine and real. Something people don't get most days anymore. "Yeah," I started, "I'm sure y'all would be so much happier today then ever if she was here." I placed my hand on his back. "But at least she's not suffering anymore, she's somewhere where she can't feel pain."
"Yeah." We sat there for a while, letting everything kinda sink in. "You know,"

"I sometimes think she's you."

"Really? Why do you say that?"
"Because," he brushed my hair. "You behave like her in so many aspects, it's scary, haha."
"Like?" He paused.

"She was a kind soul, always thought of others, never put herself first. Even with demons, she always thought of them as people, people who were being controlled and needed saving. She wanted to become a demon slayer to help put the demons at rest, to make sure they go to heaven and to be healed from their demon past. And with you, you're the same way. The way you talk to your friends, with such kindness and love, that's how she was with her friends too. You two are so alike, I sometimes think she reincarnated as you. It's silly, but when she gave me this, and said she'd always love me, I guess maybe you are her. But just.. a different version of her. I still love you just the way you are, please don't think I don't! It's just- that's what I think sometimes..."

I do believe in reincarnation, and it might honestly be possible because she died a few months before I was even born. Maybe she turned into me to see Kyojuro again, and to be with him again. But also gave me my own feelings of love for him. That probably explains why I always felt like I've known him my entire life. "Honestly, I think you're right. I've always felt as if I've known you forever, like, you were always right there with me though it all. I felt as if we clicked the day we first met- wait, when we first spoke, this is! Ha." The first day we met wasn't really a special occasion... He wanted to kill me at first- Oh.. Haha. "Yea.. My bad, haha." He said with a nervous laugh. "Maybe I shouldn't have said that to you both about dying.." We laughed at each other. "It's cool now though! Scary then, but cool now, haha." I stated and he nodded with a slim grin.

"We should probably get dressed." He said.
"For what? Are we going to Mrs. Shinobu's?" He didn't answer me, all he did was kiss my forehead and left the room. That was weird.. I thought. Hm, I should just get ready.

After getting dressed, (in something different this time, hah) I walked into the living room. Kyojuro stopped what he was doing and stared at me. "Wow, you look... great!" He said, which made me flustered. "R-really? I think you look hot- I MEAN- pretty too!" I saw a quick smirk before he headed towards me, grabbing me by the waist and pulling me closer to him. "Maybe if you're lucky," he leaned into my ear, "We can go another round~" I felt him kiss my neck. "O-okay.. I'll do my best..!"
