"D/N... take care of Yumi for me, okay?" I said. She nods her head. I turn around and starts to run towards where the sound came from. The only thing on my mind was that someone might be needing some help. So I have to hurry up and save whoever it is, silently hoping that I'm not too late.

-The Boy With Mismatched Haori-

Y/N P.O.V

I stop running when I finally found what's causing the loud commotion. It's a boy and he's wearing a half maroon haori and the other half have yellow and green hexagonal shapes. Judging by his appearance and the aura he's giving off, let's me know that he's a Demon Slayer. Not just any Slayer, he's a Hashira.

He seem to be in a battle with one of the Lower Moon demon. I decide to just watch their battle. He's a Hashira after all, he should be able to take care of himself. He's not some defenseless person.

He quickly jumps out of the way as the demon lunges at him. He's quite light on his feet. But that's not going to be enough as the demon seem to be stronger than him. I lean my side on a tree as I watch their battle.

The boy miscalculated the demon's movement which makes it easier for the demon to overpowers him. He gets kicked on his lower abdomen and gets sent flying towards a tree. I watch in worry as I notice one of the branch have pierced through his back. He lands on the ground as the wound starts bleeding rapidly. A human like him will die with a wound that severe.

The demon laughs at the boy's state. I can tell the boy is struggling to keep his consciousness. His eyes seem to get in and out of focus. I let out a sigh and stand up. I thought he would be able to handle himself... but it looks like I've overestimate him.

3rd P.O.V

The boy's eyes starts to get blurrier as he struggle to keep himself up. He eventually falls on his knees. His can feel his breathing getting heavier as his blood keeps flowing out of his wound. The demon lunges at him, trying to kill him. But before the demon could come closer, someone appears in front of him.

With a swift kick, the demon's head is sent flying off of the main body. The boy's eyes widen slightly. The girl turn her head to look at the boy, as he finally gives in to the pain in his body.

A soft melody rings through the boy's ears, giving him a sense of warmth. He slowly opens his eyes to see the night sky above. He looks around and spotted the same girl that saved his life sitting on a tree branch with a flute in her hands as she place a soft melody. Her eyes are both close as she focus on producing a beautiful sound with her instrument.

The boy looks down at his body when he remembers that he was pierced by a sharp branch on his lower abdomen. But to his surprise, the wound have healed with no trace of it being injured in the first place. The sight makes his eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"You're awake, I see..." a voice said, snapping him out of his daze. He turn his head to look at the girl who's sitting on the tree, looking down at him. "What's with that face? Confused?" She asked, slightly amused with the way the boy is staring at her. The boy said nothing as he continue to observe the girl.

"You took quite a hit in that battle. It would have been fatal if I hadn't done anything. A wound that deep would be fatal for a mere human like you" she said, as she puts away her flute.

"'Human like you'?" He muttered to himself. It makes him feel confused why the girl address him that way. His eyes widen when he soon realize the girl in front of him isn't a human, but a demon. Upon that realization, he quickly get on his feet and pulls out his nichirin blade. He lunges at her as she swiftly jumps out of the way.

The girl raises an eyebrow at his action. The boy is about to attack again. "If I want you dead... I would not have healed you" she said, in a calm voice. Hearing that, makes the boy relaxes but still keeps his guard up.

The girl jumps down from the tree, gracefully landing on her feet. "My name is Y/N... and I'm sure you're already aware about the fact that I'm a demon" she said. The boy just stares at her.

She let out a sigh and places her thumb and index finger inside her mouth as she whistles softly. A loud growl can be heard, making the boy tenses up. He turn his head and notices something flying towards them.

"Nee-San!" A little girl yelled out excitedly, after getting off from the large scaly dragon demon. The girl smile at the younger girl as she run towards the older girl's arms. The boy's body tensed a little as the little girl rushes towards the older girl. But to his surprise, the little girl embraces the h/l h/c haired girl with no sign of fear in her. She turn her head to look up at the older girl. "Nee-San!Did you manage take care of the monster?" She asked.

"I sure did, Yumi... have you been a good girl with D/N?" Y/N asked the younger girl with a smile so soft it brought calmness into the boy's chest, even though he didn't know who she is. It makes him confused why he's feeling this way over someone he just met, and a demon at that. She noticed the look on his face and turn to look at him.

"This is Yumi... I've been looking after her ever since I found her when she was chase by a bad man" she said. One thing the boy is aware is the fact that the younger girl, who he knows the name as Yumi... is an ordinary human girl.

Y/N notice the boy is now staring at the dragon behind her. She lift her hand and gently rub the dragon's nose. "And this is D/N... and don't worry, she won't hurt you" she said as she dragon gently lick her hand, making her let out a soft giggle.

"Okay, time for you to rest. Thank you for looking after Yumi for me" she said. She lift her hand as the dragon's body starts to give off a soft glow. The dragon shrinks in size as it returns to its original form as a glass sphere. Y/N places the sphere inside her haori.

"You're not going to tell me your name?" She asked, tilting her head slightly. The boy furrows his eyebrows as he stares at Y/N who's still staring at her without saying anything. "You don't talk much, do you?" She added.

"Giyuu... Tomioka Giyuu" the boy finally muttered in a hushed voice. Y/N blinks her eyes and she starts smiles softly at the boy she now knows as Giyuu. Giyuu just stares at her with a curious eyes. "Why did you saved me? Aren't you a demon?" He asked.

"And you didn't make another move to kill me... aren't you a Slayer?" She asked back, her voice is laced with a playful tone. Giyuu just stays silent after she said that. She just smiles softly at him, which makes his heart skip a beat or two with a reason unknown to him. Who is she? And why is he feeling so strange in her presence. He can feel... warmth.
