Muichiro POV

It's been a few days since I ran into Tanjiro. 

I haven't told anyone what happened or what I saw that day. I can't. They wouldn't believe me anyway. They would think I was trying to avoid the 'truth' which was certainly true now.

I left the house because I was tired of dreading Tanjiro's death. I grabbed my sword just in case I needed it. After a few minutes on a dirt path, I heard something move in the forest, surrounding the path. I looked around me but saw nothing.

I decided to keep walking thinking it was just some small animal, even tho it didn't feel right. I felt like something was following me so I stopped walking and turned around.

Again, there was nothing there. I heard the noise behind me again, so I turned...

There was a demon, and without a warning, it struck an attack on me. I fell to the ground, 'Shit, I must've broken something.' I thought when I heard a crack. I had fallen against a tree, I was now on the ground. My vision was blurry but I managed to get back up and draw my sword.

I let out an attack on the demon, which seemed to do nothing. It took another attack on me, I got in a defensive stance but it didn't work. 

This time I flew into the forest, and I heard another crack this time more painful. I had hit a tree at a fast speed. I felt dizzy, but I attempted to get up again.

"You should stay down~," The demon said for the first time while laughing. 

I was about to grab my sword when I realized that it was broken, I picked it up anyway. 

"You're gonna kill me with that? Hah, good luck," The demon laughed again.

I tried responding but I couldn't speak. It was too painful. The only way I could keep myself from falling was by my sword holding me up. I barely heard the demon call another attack. My ears were ringing.

I closed my eyes only to open them to myself on the ground with blood around me. I couldn't move anymore, and my sword wasn't in sight. Not that it would help. I also couldn't see the demon anymore.

'Did it just leave me here to die?' I expected to be eaten or something...  

I closed my eyes again, what's the point of having them open if there's nothing to look at? What's the point of living if... there's nothing to live for?

The remembrance of the words, 'Can't wait for our reunion,' made me even more eager to just finish the job myself. But I couldn't move so I just let myself bleed out. 

Soon enough there was no more pain, not only from the injuries but from the grief and depression. 

I realized was no longer on the muddy uncomfortable ground. I was in someone's arms it felt like. 'Who could that be?'

I tried opening my eyes which required a lot less effort than I originally thought it would take. When my eyes adjusted, I gasped and teared up when I realized who was looking down at me with loving eyes.

Tanjiro was. Human Tanjiro.

"Tanjiro!" I cried as I hugged him. "Hey Mui," He said softly as he hugged back. 

"Please, don't leave me again," I pleaded when we pulled away.

"I won't I promise," Tanjiro promised as he put his face closer to mine. Soon enough our lips touched and it turned into a soft kiss.

We pulled away and hugged again.

"If it were up to me, I wouldn't have left you period, Mui."
