The light left her eyes after witnessing the brutal murder of her family. She was later taken in by a kind man, who is the head of the Kamado family. L/N Y/N is her name. A young beautiful girl with a tragic past.
After getting taken in, the Kamado...
"Take care, Y/N... Tanjiro" he said. Tanjiro nods his head. Muichiro turn to look at me and places a quick kiss on my forehead. I smile softly at his loving gesture. Tanjiro and I turn around, making my way to my Estate so I can prepare myself to go for this mission.
-Thirst-
Y/N P.O.V
I'd feel an ache on my chest every now and then. I try to act like nothing's wrong, because I don't want Tanjiro to worry too much about me. Especially considering that I am the one this mission is assigned to. I don't want him to think that I shouldn't be doing this mission, and end up taking over for me.
But from the way he'd constantly glance at me every now and then, let me know that he's at least aware of my discomfort. He's just not saying anything. He's probably worried he'd make me feel upset, that's why he's being silent about it. The look of worry is shown in his eyes each time he turns his head to look at me.
The dull ache in my chest suddenly becomes more painful. I stop in my tracks and falls on my knees. My hand clutches on the spot that aches. I hear the sound of Tanjiro's voice calling out my name. I feel a hand on my shoulder.
"Are you okay?" He asked. I take a few deep breaths as I try to ignore the pain on my chest. I turn my head to look at him. "Perhaps, you should really not go on this mission, Y/N. You need to rest. I'll handle this mission in your place, okay?" He said, staring at me worriedly. I lightly shake my head as I move to stand up.
"This mission is assigned to me, Tanjiro. So I'm the one who should complete it" I said. He opens his mouth. I cover it quickly, knowing he would try to argue. "I'm sorry... but no matter what you said. It's not going to change my mind. I will be the one to finish this mission, Tanjiro" I said. I slowly move my hand from his mouth. I walk past him as I continue to walk. I hear a soft sigh behind me, and the sound of his footsteps as he follows me.
Tanjiro P.O.V
Why'd you have to be so stubborn, Y/N? It's clear that you're in pain. Why can't you just rely on me more? Is it because you're on the higher rank than me? Is that why you feel the need to be the one to protect me?
I watch as Y/N walks ahead of me. The scent coming from her lets me know that she's trying to act strong. In reality, I know that she's in great pain from trying to keep her thirst in. What can I do to make your situations much easier for you, Y/N? I just don't want you to end up hurting yourself more than you already are.

I can hear Y/N's breathing gradually becomes heavier, a clear sign that she's in so much pain. I want to just tell her to quit and let me handle this mission in her stead. But I know she'd refuse my offer, wanting to be the one to take responsibility as this mission is given to her.
"Y/N..." I mumbled. She's walking a couple of feet ahead of me, and all I can do is watch her sadly. I can smell the distress coming from her. I hear a soft humming sounds coming from the box on my back. I turn my head a little to look at it, knowing Nezuko's worried about Y/N's condition as much as I do. After all, to her... Y/N is a precious older sister. "I know, Nezuko. I'm also worried about her. But she wouldn't listen to anything I have to say" I said.
"Tanjiro..." Y/N's voice makes me flinch. I turn to look forward to see her staring at me. "I can hear every words you're saying, you know..." she said. I gulp nervously. She turns around, so she's facing me. She let out a sigh as places her hands on her hips as she sends me stern gaze. "Look, I appreciate that you're worrying about my health. But you're right, Tanjiro. I'm not going to back down on this mission because it is assigned to me" she said.
"Why do you have to be so stubborn, Y/N?" I said, while staring at her with a sad gaze. She just stares at me for a few seconds. She closes her eyes as she slowly turns her body around and walks ahead, without saying anything. I can smell the scent of slight irritation coming from her. Great... now I've made her annoyed.
Time-skip
Y/N P.O.V
After a while of walking, an outline of a village finally comes into view. I turn my look at my crow to see her flying around, which is a way for her to let me know this is the village I'm supposed to head to.
I turn my head to look at Tanjiro. He has his head down and a frown on his face. I know exactly what's going on inside his head. He's worried about my condition. I understand why Tanjiro worries so much about me. I feel glad that he cares about me. But, I can't back down on a mission assigned to me.
I'm just terrified... if I neglect my duty as a Demon Slayer and the ice Hashira, it would make the demon side of grow me stronger. I don't want to turn into a demon. Knowing Tanjiro, if I talk to him about it, he would just try to give me a reassurance that everything will be fine... that I wouldn't turn into a demon no matter what.
I feel a presence as soon as we enter the village. I lift my hand, allowing my sword to appear.

I can always tell the demon's strength base on the aura. I can tell that this demon is one of the Twelve Kizuki. Not just any Twelve Kizuki. It's one of the Upper Moons. I'm glad I didn't agree to let Tanjiro handle this mission. He wouldn't have stood a chance against them.
I feel my throat suddenly starts tightening up. It feels like my throat is drying up. I lift my hand, placing my hand on my neck. I try desperately to control myself, so I don't start coughing because I don't want Tanjiro to worry too much about me. Oh goodness... why is this happening now?
