only for sucide (season 1)

1rst mission

As Tanjiro struggled to disentangle himself, a voice pierced through the air, cutting through the tension.

Akaichi: "Wait! Please, don't go!"

The mysterious figure slowly pulled back the hood of their cloak, revealing Akaichi's familiar smile. Tanjiro's surprise gave way to a mixture of confusion and relief.

Akaichi: "I'm sorry for the sudden entrance. I was following you from the trees."

She extended a hand to help Tanjiro up, her eyes reflecting both sincerity and a hint of vulnerability.

Akaichi: "I don't want to be alone in this forest. Can I... stay with you, Tanjiro?"

Tanjiro, still processing the unexpected turn of events, found himself captivated by the sincerity in Akaichi's eyes. After a moment's hesitation, he nodded.

Tanjiro: "Alright, Akaichi. You can stay with me."

The forest, once filled with suspense, now echoed with the quiet understanding between the two. Akaichi's mysterious smile remained, and as they walked together, the enigmatic connection between them deepened, leaving the forest to guard its secrets in the encroaching darkness.

As Tanjiro and Akaichi continued their journey through the forest, a soft rustle of leaves behind them caught their attention. Turning around, Tanjiro saw Nezuko, his sister, awake and alert.

Tanjiro: "Nezuko! You're awake!"

Akaichi observed from a distance as Tanjiro rushed towards Nezuko. The siblings shared a heartfelt reunion, their embrace filled with a mix of relief and joy. Urokodaki, ever-watchful, joined in the familial hug.

Urokodaki: "I'm glad you're both safe. The trials you faced will shape you into formidable Demon Slayers."

As they shared the moment, Akaichi remained on the outskirts, her mysterious smile unchanged. However, when the embrace began to fade, Akaichi stepped forward.

Akaichi: "I may not be family, but I'm here too, Tanjiro. Akaichi Aoiwa, at your service."

Tanjiro turned to Akaichi, introducing her to Nezuko.

Tanjiro: "Nezuko, this is Akaichi. She... well, she's been watching over us in her own way."

Akaichi smiled, and Nezuko, seemingly sensing a kindred spirit, approached her with a warm expression. A connection sparked between them almost instantly.

The trio, with Urokodaki, formed a circle of unity, but Akaichi remained on the fringe, her mysterious presence undiminished. As they stood together, the forest seemed to hold its breath, as if acknowledging the bonds forming among these unlikely companions.

After receiving their official Demon Slayer uniforms, the group gathered to inspect their new attire. Akaichi, always with a playful demeanor, turned to Tanjiro with a mischievous smile.

Akaichi: "Well, Tanjiro, how do I look?"

Tanjiro, caught off guard by the question, felt a sudden warmth rush to his cheeks. His eyes widened, and he stammered for a moment before managing to respond.

Tanjiro: "Uh, it looks... good! Really good, Akaichi."

Nezuko, perceptive as ever, noticed Tanjiro's flushed face and couldn't help but convey her amusement through muffled sounds.

Tanjiro, attempting to regain his composure, scratched the back of his head.

Tanjiro: "It's just... it's a good uniform. That's all."

Akaichi chuckled, thoroughly enjoying the moment.

Akaichi: "I'll take your word for it, Tanjiro. Now, let's get ready for whatever challenges lie ahead!"
