Moriko Hirano survived a demon attack on her family, thanks to the Water Hashira, Giyu Tomioka. Ever since, she's been distant from others, except her husband Giyu and their family.
After meeting Tanjiro Kamado, Will Moriko ever get over her fears o...
Three months have passed since the battle with th 12 Kizuki and Muzan Kibutsuji. My husband, as well as Shinazugawa and Tanjiro, ended up in a coma for a whole month.
As of right now, one month after the battle, I'm sitting in a chair as I watch over my husband, our kids with us. I'm wearing a long sleeved red kimono with my hair in a braid. I'm also hugging his newly mended haori to my chest for comfort. It was so badly damaged during the fighting, but thanks to Nezuko's sewing skills, she was able to mend both of them.
I have had a prosthetic hand made up and I was still getting used to it.
I murmur as I gaze sadly down at the sleeping Tomioka, "Please wake up, Yu-kun. I need you. Please, wake up... please..."
I fall silent as I sob and press the heel of my palm to my forehead.
"Hey. Mori-chan," Comes a certain voice, causing me to look up with a gasp. Giyu's eyes are open and staring right at me. Tears of joy spill from my eyes. A smile tugs at Giyu's lips. "Mori-chan, why are you—"
I cut him off as I throw myself forward and latch my arms around Giyu's neck, hugging him as he sits up. Giyu pauses as I continue to cry out of pure joy.
"I'm just so, so relieved that you're awake, my love! I missed you so much, and I was so worried when we brought you back unconscious... I came everyday... the children visited you too..." I trail off as another loud cry wrenches out of me.
Giyu smiles softly as he returns my embrace with his good left arm, the other having been torn off by Muzan when he'd been thrown into the building.
We pull back and he hugs our children next, who cry out of joy at seeing their father awake.
"Heeeyyy, what's all the ruckus about?" Grumbles an annoyed voice. "I'm trying to sleep, y' know..." We turn to Shinazugawa, sitting up in the bed next to the Water Hashira. He was frowning at me.
"Hello, Shinazugawa," I greet. He'd ended up losing a couple of fingers on his right hand during the battle. "Sorry. Our children are just relieved that Giyu-kun is awake."
"I see. Could you tone it down a little? I'm trying to sleep."
I gaze at the white haired man for a moment. Hmmm, something's different about him... I won't ask Sanemi about it, though. He must've just changed since the battle.
I say to Giyu as I get up and hold out his haori, "Oh, and Nezuko was able to mend your haori, Yu-kun."
Giyu gazes at it with a grateful smile. He says softly, "Remind me to thank her, Mori-chan."
I nod my head and set it on his bedside. Then I lean towards Giyu and give him a long awaited kiss, which he readily returns.
🗡️🗡️🗡️
Two months have passed and Giyu and Shinazugawa have had the final Hashira meeting. The Demon Slayer Corps has been disbanded, and both Kagaya and Amane have been killed during that explosion.
Today was like any other day since the demons' defeat. After getting dressed, I make breakfast for me and my family.
I'm wearing a yellow kimono with my hair in its usual braid.

Then we go to visit the Kamado siblings at the Butterfly Estate where they're recovering.
When Giyu, Aiko, Mamoru, Makato and I arrive, we were surprised to find Sakonji Urokodaki there, too.

I was immediately glomped by Nezuko while Tanjiro notices Giyu's shorter hair.
He asks me as his sister hugs the life out of me, "Moriko, when did Giyu cut his hair?"
I reply as I pat Nezuko's head affectionately, "A few days after he was released from the infirmary." I throw the Water Hashira a playful smile.
