- Chapter One -

This... wasn't intentional

Shoutout to @NachoznCheeze 🤗

Apologies if things aren't accurate, I haven't touched a piece of demon slayer media in months.

The air outside was suffocating, like a cold spike going through your system. Not because there was a lot of fog in particular but because of what was lurking in the fog. At the edge of their home was Kagaya and Amane Ubayashki, Kagaya lying down on a mat because even sitting up was getting painful and Amane sitting on her knees in front of him. They both knew full well what was coming. In fact this was all going according to their plan, the plan that only the family, and a trusted friend and fighter, Gyomei knew about.

When the small echo of footsteps started to be heard from outside was when they both tensed up, this was it. After centuries of the Ubayashki name being cursed Kagaya was determined to make sure he would be the last Ubayashki to have this curse... and it would not fall onto his son.

As the footsteps inched closer to the entrance of their home, Kagaya couldn't help but display a faint smirk on his face, he's been waiting years for this moment after all.

Back a few miles away from the Ubayashki's home stood the butterfly mansion. A place that helped to heal ones who have been injured by demons in their battle. Inside the butterfly mansion in a small contained room was Tanjiro, except he wasn't the one lying in the hospital bed this time but his sister. Lady Tamayo has found the ingredients to turn demons back into humans after years of trying. This was the moment, the whole reason Tanjiro became a demon slayer was so he could save his sister. And here she was... in just a few more hours she will be human once again.

A small tear went down Tanjiro's face. This tear represented a lot of things, Joy for his sister being able to have her humanity back. Grief for the other members of his family not being able to live a long happy life. And anger... anger for the demon himself, Muzan Kibutsuji. Even though Tanjiro's only wish was to make Nezuko human again he also wished for the one who caused this, everything, the one who killed his family, the one who turned his beloved sister into a demon, the one whose ruined hundreds if not thousands of lives. Tanjiro wanted the demon king to be stopped, him and the one who murdered Kyojuro...

His once soft hands that were handled with love and care from his family were now rough and scarred. His hands clutched the fabric above his knee in anger. Tanjiro wasn't one to feel anger often, not at all. Tanjiro felt a few more tears coming to his eyes until he was promptly interrupted by his loud but ambitious friend, Inosuke, Tanjiro snapped his head to look at his friend surprised by the sudden intrusion. The feminine looking boy's boar mask was rested above his forehead and he looked at Tanjiro while eating a takoyaki.

"Kombachiro! You're still in here." He spoke with the food in his mouth with a rough voice. "You've been here for three hours."

Tanjiro sighed and turned back to his sister. "I know, but I'm worried."

Sensing the emotions coming from his friend Inosuke stopped chewing promptly and swallowed. Now speaking with a more clear voice. "You haven't eaten yet! Waiting here isn't going to magically make the process go by quicker."

Tanjiro wanted to protest but his friend was right, there was at least four hours left until Nezuko fully woke up, and when Inosuke spoke about Tanjiro not eating he felt a sense of comfort in that. Inosuke was very obsessive over his food so telling Tanjiro to eat means a lot coming from him.
