Overwhelmed by the weight of her father's revelation, Y/N could no longer contain her emotions. As the day wore on, the turmoil within her grew too intense to bear, and she fled from the confines of the Infinity Castle, tears streaming down her face. The shock reverberated through those left behind, their eyes turning to Muzan for answers. Yet, he remained silent, unable to shield his daughter from the pain she now faced.

Y/N ran aimlessly, seeking solace in the embrace of the nearby forest. She cried and cried, her heart heavy with the knowledge that her life was about to change irreversibly. Between her sobs, she voiced her deepest fears, unable to fathom the idea of becoming a demon slayer and being forced to confront her own family.

Lost in her anguish, Y/N remained in the forest until darkness enveloped the world. Meanwhile, back at the Infinity Castle, worry and concern consumed those she had left behind. Daki, her mother in all but blood, felt an urgent need to find her. Determined and filled with love, she ventured into the forest, her heart pounding with fear for Y/N's well-being.

In the quiet of the night, Daki stumbled upon Y/N, peacefully asleep amidst the trees. A mixture of relief and tenderness washed over her as she carefully scooped the sleeping girl into her arms. She carried Y/N back to the safety of the castle, cradling her with a gentle touch that reflected her unconditional love.

When Y/N awoke, she found herself surrounded by the worried faces of the upper moons and Daki, their arms crossed in a mixture of concern and sternness. Gyutaro, unable to hide his worry, voiced their collective thoughts. "Why would you go and scare your mother like that?" he asked, his voice laced with both frustration and care.

Y/N took a deep breath, her eyes filled with both remorse and determination. She apologized for causing them worry and explained her desperate need for time to think. Her voice trembled with sadness as she revealed the impending fate that awaited her—the forced path of becoming a demon slayer.

Gasps filled the air as the reality of her words sank in. The upper moons and Daki were caught off guard, their expressions a mix of shock, disbelief, and concern. They had always known that Muzan's decisions were final, but the gravity of this revelation struck them deeply.

In a small voice, Y/N continued, explaining her inner turmoil. "I don't want to hurt any of you, and I couldn't bear to watch anyone else kill you," she confessed, her words a poignant reflection of her love and loyalty. The thought of being forced to turn against her own family was a burden too heavy to bear.

Silence lingered in the air, heavy with the weight of Y/N's confession. In that moment, the bonds that held them together, twisted though they may be, shone with a flicker of hope. They stood at a crossroads, faced with an impossible choice between their loyalty to Muzan and the love they shared as a family.

As the night stretched on, decisions would need to be made, consequences faced, and sacrifices weighed. The path ahead was uncertain and fraught with danger, but within the hearts of Y/N and her unconventional family, a resilient flame burned—a flame that yearned for a future where love, loyalty, and the bonds of their twisted family could defy the darkness that threatened to engulf them all.

The next day dawned with a heavy air of tension, as the echoes of the previous night's argument lingered. Y/N, filled with guilt and determination, burst into her parents' room, their voices freezing in surprise. With an urgency in her voice, she pleaded for their attention, desperately seeking a resolution.

"Stop!" Y/N's voice rang out, cutting through the heated exchange between her parents. Both Muzan and Daki turned to her, their eyes wide with shock at her interruption. Y/N took a deep breath, steeling herself for the difficult conversation that lay ahead.

"Father, I know your word is final, and I accept that I must become a demon slayer," Y/N spoke, her voice carrying a mix of resolve and sadness. "But I will not stand by and let any demon slayer harm my family. I vow to protect all of you, even if it means standing against those who were once my allies."

Muzan's gaze softened, a mixture of pride and concern flickering in his eyes. In that moment, he saw the strength and determination within his daughter, a reflection of his own relentless spirit. He nodded, acknowledging the weight of her words, and the realization that Y/N had grown into someone who could stand her ground.

A few hours later, a meeting was called within the Infinity Castle. The upper moons gathered in silence, their expressions a blend of curiosity and trepidation. Muzan's voice rang out, breaking the stillness. "My daughter shall become a demon slayer, but she has vowed to protect all of you. She shall leave next week. Upper Moon One, you will teach her Moon Breathing, and until she departs, you shall be her mentor."

With those words, Y/N's fate was sealed. She would embark on a path that would pit her against her own kind, all while carrying the responsibility of safeguarding her twisted family. Upper Moon One, her mentor, would guide her through this arduous journey, imparting the knowledge and skills she needed to face the challenges ahead.

Days turned into weeks, and Y/N immersed herself in intense training under the tutelage of Upper Moon One. She pushed her limits, honing her skills and mastering Moon Breathing techniques. The training was grueling, yet she persisted, fueled by her determination to protect those she held dear.

The night before her departure arrived, and Y/N bid a bittersweet farewell to her family. She embraced her mother tightly, tears glistening in her eyes. "I'll miss you so much, Mommy," she whispered, the weight of impending separation hanging heavy in her heart. Daki held her close, returning the embrace with a mixture of pride and sorrow.

Y/N then approached her father, a sad smile tugging at her lips. They shared a heartfelt hug, their bond transcending the complexities of their twisted family. Muzan, in his own way, expressed his pride in Y/N's strength and determination, silently acknowledging the sacrifices she was making.

That night, as Y/N lay in bed, uncertainty clouded her mind. The future loomed ahead, filled with peril and difficult choices. Yet, within her heart, the vow to protect her family burned brightly, giving her strength and purpose. She would face the challenges that awaited her, drawing on the love and loyalty she held for her twisted family, and find her own path amidst the chaos and darkness that surrounded her.
