Taishō Era

3rd POV:

The dawn has finally arrived as the progenitor of demons has at last succumbed to his long deserved death. The Kasugai crows flew throughout the outskirts of the infinity castle announcing the death of the demon lord and claiming victory for the Demon Slayer core. The voices of the remaining slayers echoes in the sky as they rejoiced.

The final battle was over, humanity is finally at peace from the wicked demons. It was a joyous day indeed but also a tragic one as this war costed nearly everything. That includes the lives of the hashiras, the strongest of the core who gave it their all in this brutal battle. Some have already met their fate in battle while a particular pair's waiting for their time to come...

Iguro POV:

"CAAW! CAW! MUZAN KIBUTSUJI IS DEAD! THE DEMON SLAYERS HAS WON-!" A Kasugai crow has flew over us as it repeats the news. I tilt my head up at the sky as I listened to the crow "Finally..it's over.." I sigh as I held the woman I love in my arms.I felt the warmth of the sunlight illuminated over us. My body ached but I could care less as I held onto the woman I cared for deeply.

[I wish I still had my eyesight to see your face before I pass on..] My eyes stung a little as droplets of tears run down my cheeks I clutched onto her tightly as I listened to her labored breathing. "Mit...suri.." I grunted holding back a cough. I heard my partner hissed softly against my cheek nuzzling me.

I sigh softly "Kaburamaru..my life long friend.." I felt a little relieved knowing he will live..even if it's without me.. "Thank you..for being there for me..I hope you'll live a pleasant life without me my friend.." I heard him hiss again and felt him slither down from my neck to my arm. "K..Kaburamaru kun..?" A soft but weak voice spoke out. Despite my loss of sight I still tilt my head down to look at her. "Mitsuri.."

Mitsuri POV:

I felt the albino snake wrap himself around me. Tickling my cheek with his forked tongue causing me to open my eyes calling out his name. What I didn't expect was a deep voice calling back to me who I recognized immediately,"Iguro san..?" I slowly looked up at him getting a clear view of his face.

It broke my heart seeing the awful state he was in. Three large scratches cut deep across his face blinding him as the blood trailed down his face and mouth. I looked up at the sky and noticed the change [Ah..It's morning now..] I took a breath before speaking "Iguro san.? Did..Did we win.?" Much to my relief I saw him gave a slight nod.

"We won..Muzan is dead now.." I felt my body finally relax at the news as I sigh softly. I felt so light..so..free. Free from this nightmare "Thank kami.." I mumbled [My body..feels so numb..] I felt my head being pulled in close to his chest as he held me. He's holding me as if I was glass,"My body..it doesn't hurt at all.." reality set in as I remembered my condition right now. My body was badly bruised and slashed, and I lost my arms during the last few moments of the fight.

"I'm sorry.." I felt kaburamaru rub against my face softly. "My body feels numb now..I suppose I'll be dying soon.." I stared off to the distance watching the sky. "I'll be dying as well..you won't be alone.." I closed my eyes listening to his heartbeat. It was weak. "I don't want Iguro San to die..I'm..I'm sorry.." my voice cracked "I'm sorry I wasn't much use in the fight..I wish..I could've done more.."

3rd POV:

Iguro shook his head "That's not true..Don't ever say such things about yourself.." There was silence between them for a moment. "Hey..do you remember the day we first met.?" The strawberry haired girl sigh softly 'Of course I do..'  she was in deep thought as she reminisced the past...
