Shinobu Kocho's POV

It's been a few weeks since the incident and Tomioka San wanted to talk to me about something important to tell me, and he wanted to talk to me not here but somewhere else, Sanemi was in charge of Yuri as I and Tomioka went to the village to get some supplies on the way

"So... About what I wanted to tell you..." I looked at Tomioka San who was showing difficulties in explaining what was going on. "Remember when I told you about the demon slayer mark... I didn't tell you everything completely"

"In that case, would you be interested in continuing?" I smiled at him but he was still stressed. "Tomioka San?"

"The mark appeared on me, as you know. And no one who has the mark will live past 25 years of age"

What? Does that mean... He will...?

"I'm sorry Shinobu... I have told this to you but since you forgot..."
I'll have to take care of Yuri alone. He can't just leave me like that... I was even developing feelings for him... I thought we could be finally happy...

"The same will happen to Sanemi, and you see... I am already 25... Tengen still doesn't have the mark so he is safe, I have told him about this and he promised that he would help you in every way he can"

"No... I don't want help from others Tomioka San! We might have lived happily for the past 5 years but I don't remember a single happy moment... First, my parents died, then Kanae... And then I forgot everything ever since and now when I got you..." I felt him pull me close to him, I was gonna lose someone I loved... Again... Why is this happening to me? Warm tears filled my eyes and it didn't take long for them to roll down my cheeks

"What did I do wrong" I fell on my knees, people were staring at us but I thought about him... I was going to lose him...

"I know that you have suffered a lot Shinobu, but none of us can do anything about it, and I don't want you to be depressed all your life thinking about me..." he wiped away my tears but I couldn't control them... I was losing myself again... I don't want to experience the feeling I had when I lost Kanae... I had no one other than the girls... But they have their own lives now...

But I have Yuri... I have my daughter... I can't go insane and depressed... I have a daughter to take care of... I must keep moving forward... For the sake of my daughter...

          
15 years have passed ever since Tomioka and Sanemi passed away, somehow, Tanjiro was still alive even after the mark.

Yuri was 20 years old and was engaged to another man, Shinobu was proud of her, and Yuri grew up to have a lot of similarities with Giyuu Tomioka, her dad, which reminded Shinobu of him

Shinobu lives with Tanjiro and the others, Tengen and his wives would often visit, she didn't have a purpose for living but she was happy. But not a single day has passed without Shinobu thinking of Kanae or Tomioka...
