Chapter 8

"Muzan is my little brother," Akari says, smiling, and Uzui and Kyojuro give her weird looks. "Why don't you kill him? He's our enemy!" Uzui exclaims loudly and is frustrated that she could've killed him but didn't. "Let me give you another question to consider. Would YOU kill your 'best buddy' after all these years of bonding and love?" Akari asks, and Uzui knows this is a hard answer, and opened then opens his mouth, realising that this is a complicated question and the answer is hard to say.

"You can't answer, right? Well it's the same experience except YOU don't have anyone you love that is bad, just me and I don't want him to die, he was such a good little brother, I-I cannot participate in his death." Akari says sadly. "You've lived a tough life with these decisions," Kyojuro says empathetically. "Exactly, if you don't mind me, I can hear Giyu's stomach rumbling from here., I'm off to make salmon and radish for Giyu Chan!" Before Uzui or Kyojuro had the time to comment on anything, Akari sped out of the awkward scene and went into the kitchen to prepare Giyu his favourite food. She displayed it in front of Giyu and she could see him blushing.

"Come on Giyu san, I know you can't say no, if you do I'm guessing that I'm going to devour it all!" Akari says jokingly, but Giyu is all thinking about the flaws. "Aren't your hands flaming or something? Go get something for the burns!" he orders, out of care and Akari feels hot inside. "Giyu Chan, you're forgetting I am a DEMON, and I'm fine!" She says smiling, Giyu internally sighed with relief, and Akari put it on the table and left him to it.

After Giyu finished, she grabbed the bowl to wash it Giyu came towering over her and she smiled. "It's alright I've got it!" Akari smiled, but Giyu didn't have that attend that, he grabbed her waist and looked into her eyes. "Akari, thank you for saving Sabito." He purrs loudly and Akari waves his gratitude away. "No, it's fine I-" Before she could finish, Giyu shut her up with a kiss and Akari blushed. After a few moments like this, he stopped and was smiling widely. "I know we have barely met but-" Then this time he got interrupted.

"I've been spying on you since you joined the demon slayer group," Akari confessed, not looking in Giyu's face in case he was angry. "Someone- obsessed with me?" Giyu says laughing loudly. "I gotta tell Kochu that! I can't believe a beautiful girl like you, is obsessed with a guy like me!" He exclaims loudly and Akari shakes her head. "The other way around, I can't believe a super cute and handsome guy like YOU would fall for a girl like me." She says, and Giyu shakes his head quickly and they both burst out laughing.

"I'm finished with the bowl!" Akari exclaims and she reaches to put it in. "Damn it! I'm too short." Akari thinks gritting her teeth. Suddenly a warm hand carries her and Akari shakingly puts the bowl back, lands a kiss on his head, and Giyu laughs with such enthusiasm that Akari feels her heart ready to pound out. "I'm going to go outside for a walk" Akari exclaims, turning into a cat, and running outside. "Wait-" Giyu calls out but Akari was running outside and then skidded to a halt when she was in the pouring rain. Giyu rushed over with an umbrella in his hands.

"You're gonna get a cold from this rain," Giyu says and caringly hugs the cat and leaves for his room. The cat meowed and purred very loudly. "Giyu san, you're such a lovely person, so kind and caring." Akari meows loudly, and Giyu smiles his very small smile. Giyu's heart was beating wildly at this stage, someone liked him! He liked her too, and he wanted to take care of her, not because he wanted to spite Kochu, then he had a quick realisation. "Where do you live?" Giyu says, questionably. "Well, I mean I used to be a de-" Akari stops and then starts again. "I live in the forest," she says subtly. "The first sentence, the one about you being a demon slayer..." Giyu states "What breathing did you do?" He says curiously. Akari changed into a white cat and clambered on top of Giyu's head.

"Breathing of the cat," Akari whispered. "I did all the breathing motions up to twenty," Akari says and Giyu bit back a gasp and stared at Akari, but there was no scent of guilt, she must've been telling the truth. "So how did you become a demon?" Giyu asks. "Well... I was Fourteen and I got severely sick after five years of being in the demon slayer corps, I was found in the old library, I turned into a demon, mastered all the breathings I could, and no one seemed to notice that I was a demon, but they suspicious when I was in my thirties." Akari says, her eyes deep in the past. "If you really can do twenty breathing techniques, show me," Giyu says.

After ten minutes, Giyu realised how powerful Akari was, and she didn't even wield any swords or weapons. "Giyu, you can do this! You WILL defeat Muzan!" Akari says, with no sign of being out of breath, unlike Giyu, who was panting very loudly. "Sorry Giyu San! I was too hard on you!" Akari says slapping herself so hard that she starts bleeding. "No!" Giyu exclaims loudly "You're doing perfect-" He says truthfully. "Please- Stop hitting yourself!" He says, hoping that Akari will stop. "G-giyu san-" Akari says hesitantly. "What?" Giyu says suddenly feeling self-conscious. "You've got the mark-" Akari says, and Giyu looks at the pond and sees himself with blood and marks.

"You did so well!" Akari exclaims loudly "Go rest, and do me a favour, tell Muichiro it's his time to train." Giyu nods and Akari bows in thanks. Muichiro was called up for his training and he couldn't believe his eyes when a child looking twelve came and assembled no weapons. "Where is the trainer?" He says taunting Akari. "I am the trainer, and I have come to turn you into a powerful demon-like swordsman," Akari says, showing no emotion whatsoever. Muichiro looks over his head, and Akari knocks him off his feet. "FOCUS!" She snarled loudly. "Do you want to kill Muzan?! You can't do that with your lack of focus!" She says spitting, and Muichiro jumps up and unsheathes his sword.
