Chapter 1

I met you again. 

"Tomioka~~ Tomioka~"

His eyes shot open and he jolted upright. What was that? Was it a dream? Her voice had been so close, so real like she was right there with him. Startled he took in his surroundings. He remembered sitting on the rooftop of the butterfly mansion. 

Three beds, three windows and three stools placed neatly between each bed. He was in the butterfly estate? How? He was sure the place looked vastly different after Shinobu died. The air also had a lively flowery scent to it. It hadn't been like that for a long time. Giyuu swung his legs over the edge of the bed when he heard footsteps approaching the room. His eyes fixed on the small figure entering. She was wearing a dark purple uniform with golden buttons and that familiar haori, fading from white to green then pink.

It was her. Was he hallucinating? Could this be some twisted demon blood art? Wait no Muzan was defeated nevermind. No, it was real. She was standing there just four meters away. Shinobu Kocho, the supposedly deceased Insect Pillar walked in carrying a tray of food. 

"My, my, Tomioka. You got yourself badly injured after fainting halfway through our mission. It certainly surprised me to see you fall down! Are you alright?" She exclaimed. Her sweet voice filled the room, he had to restrain himself from acting like a fool.

"Here, eat some breakfast. Don't push yourself; you still need to rest. There arent any visible injuries or causes to why you fainted but Tanjiro had informed me that you have been training very hard. It could quite possibly be from stress." A small smile graced her lips, the sight of it was both comforting and heartbreaking. 

"Aoi will be available if you need anything. I'll be in my room and please knock before you enter okay? Also don't worry about your haori, its in perfect condition."

She stepped closer, her eyes meeting his. 

"Alright." Giyuu muttered. He was to busy thinking if he should stab himself to see if this was real or if he just needed to accept that the person who got killed by Upper Moon 2 was standing in front of him.  

"Tomioka, you should really talk more. That frown doesn't suit you!," she teased lightly.  Anyway, eat your breakfast while its still warm. Aoi put a lot of effort into it! I'll be in my room if you need me." She giggled softly, her smile radiant as she turned to leave.

He watched her leave the room, a storm of emotions churned within him. He knew that smile was faker than Kim Kardashians butt. How could he sae her from the fate she had chosen? From the wisteria poison she intended to inject herself with? She wasn't weak. How could he change her mindset? He wouldn't let it happen. He couldn't. Not this time. He'll try to save everyone he can this time.
