Soulmates (Yoriichi x Muzan)

🔪☀️Chapter one☀️🔪

Just so you know, this is set in the present time of demon slayer, so it's set in 1910. Yeah I don't know. Kokushibou isn't a demon, basically Douma is upper one and then Akaza is upper two and so on. And then Enmu is upper six.

Yoriichi came home from the market with a bag of groceries in his arms. "Uta? I'm home!"

The demon slayer took off his sandal things and walked over to the kitchen where he put his groceries down. He saw something in the corner of his eye and he swung his head around. It was Uta, she smiled at him and walked over him with her arms spread. "Welcome home sweetheart! How was it?"

"Well you know... it was just the shop. Nothing really happened besides me getting groceries."

"Right... silly me, haha!"

Yoriichi looked down at Uta's stomach, there was now a noticeable bump showing. "How is the little one?"

Uta smiled and put her hands on her stomach. "They're doing fine! Haven't been too much of a trouble for me."

"That's good."

Yoriichi smiled at Uta and held her hands with his own. "Uta..."

Yoriichi was interrupted by a loud squawk, "Demon! Demon!"

Yoriichi sighed and put Uta's hands down, the only reason he became a demon slayer is too make sure Uta and their baby are safe. But Yoriichi knew he had to use his talent to help other people as well. Yoriichi gave Uta a kiss on the nose. "I'll be back my love."

"It's okay, we'll be safe."

Yoriichi nodded and grabbed his katana from it's stand. "Won't be long."

Yoriichi left and shut the door behind him. He double checked the wisteria essence was burning. Once he made sure it was burning he signaled his crow to start leading him to the demon. Ever since Yoriichi was a child he knew he loved and cared about Uta, he felt bad for his soulmate, wherever they were. But Uta was more important than anyone else could be. Except maybe Michikatsu.

Yoriichi soulmate mark was on his left wrist, it was this sharp knife looking thing attached to a rope of some kind. Whoever Yoriichi's soulmate was, she must be pretty mean to have such a soulmate mark. Soulmate marks are based on the person after all.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yoriichi was walking back to his and Uta's home after dealing with the commotion in the mountains where a lower moon demon was. The demon had killed a lot of demon slayers in horrible ways so Yoriichi took the time to bless all of the fallen slayers. By the time Yoriichi got to the path on his way home it was already the next morning.

Yoriichi had left at around evening so he spent all night travelling, disposing of the demon, blessing, and more travelling. When Yoriichi got close to his house he smelt a familiar smell... blood?

Yoriichi's eyes widened, him and Uta had no neighbors, there wasn't even a house nearby. Yoriichi pulled out his katana and ran towards his house. "Uta?!"

Yoriichi made it to the front of his house. The door was slightly opened, this was a terrible sign. Yoriichi slid the door completely open... "Uta...?"

Yoriichi felt like gagging, Uta was laying on the floor. Her stomach was ripped open and one of her arms had been ripped off. Yoriichi choked on a sob and fell to his knees. tears started streaming out of the demon slayer's eyes. Uta wasn't his soulmate. But she was still his true love.

Yoriichi dropped his katana and clutched his head. If he just always stayed with Uta then this wouldn't have happened. Ever since Uta and Yoriichi heard about demons Yoriichi wanted to become a demon slayer to protect Uta but Uta insisted he protect other people as well.
