Love Is The Answer (Tomioka Giyuu X Reader)

Chapter 45

Previously on Chapter 44

I feel it consuming my body once again much like it did when I was a human. I know that this means I'm slowly running out of time. I know the only way for me to stay alive is to let Muzan inject more of his blood into my system to be a demon. But I refuse to take the chance of strengthening my demonic self to stay alive, but with the risk of forgetting Giyuu, or everything else.

I don't want to forget

-In Another Life-

Y/N P.O.V

Giyuu kneels down next to the bed, his hand holding mine as he drops his sword. "But you'll die, Y/N..." he said. His eyes starts swelling up in tears. His free hand went to my head, caressing my h/c locks gently.

"I know, Giyuu..." I said, smiling weakly at him. I lift my free hand and gently cup his cheek. "I don't want to die. But I don't want to forget about you" I said, staring at him with tears in my eyes. He place his hand on top of mine, holding it firmly against his cheek. I gently caress his skin with my thumb.

"I can't lose you, Y/N..." he cried out. I turn to look at Muzan who stared at me with an unreadable expression. I give him a small smile as I turn to look at Giyuu. I move my hand from his cheek to the back of his neck.

I pull him closer, allowing him to place his head on my shoulder. I close my eyes as I listen to his cries. As much as it hurts me. I just can't bring myself to let Muzan turn me back into a demon. I don't want to forget everything again.

The door to this room opens. I open my eyes to see it's the others. Their eyes widen when their eyes landed on Muzan who have already revert back into his original form. He looks just like the day I forgot about him. The day I first turned into a demon.

"Kibutsuji!" Tanjiro growled out. He pulls out his sword as he glared hatefully at Muzan. But before he could do anything to attack Muzan, Giyuu steps in front of him. His arms outstretch on either side of him.

"Stop! You can't kill him! Not now! Y/N and him are both connected. He's the one who turned Y/N into a demon. She... she was his fiancée" he said. Their eyes widen as they turn to look at me, as if asking me if it were true. I just nod my head weakly.

"It was... an arranged marriage" I said, turning to look at Muzan who stared at me with sadness. "Even so... I loved him" I said. Giyuu stared at me in sadness. I turn to look at him, giving him a small smile. "But, it was a long time ago. You're the one I love now, Giyuu. I'm so sorry, Muzan" I said. He stares at me sadly and nod his head, letting me know he understands me.

"Y/N... p-please don't d-do this to me. Don't let me live in a world without you" Giyuu pleaded. I gently cup his cheek again. He hold my hand with both of his, pressing his cheek against the palm of my hand. "Please just let him turn you back into a demon... I promise I'll find you again and I'll make you remember me. If you don't... I'll try everything it'll take to make you love me again..." he said.

"But it's not going to be the same, Giyuu... and I don't want that" I said, my voice cracks a little. He bit his lips as he looks down in sadness. "I'm sorry... I know this is selfish. But please let me keep these precious memories of you, even if it's the last thing I do" I said. He stares at me with tears in his eyes.

"Okay..." he said, his voice breaking a little. I move to sit up with his help. I lean my head against his chest as he hugs me tightly. "I love you, Y/N..." he whispered. I close my eyes, hugging him back.

"I love you too, Giyuu... please let me spend the last remaining days of my life with only you" I said. I feel a nod from him as he run his hand through my h/c hair. I close my eyes as tears streams down my cheeks. I know that I'll soon die. But this time... I'll be ready.
