≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾The punishment of trading life to immortality is something nearly impossible to survive. Crime and punishment are truely close friends, aren't they? Those whom yearn to escape death has their downside; here in this case is not able to stand beneath the sun's ray of bright light or else they'll burn into ashes like burning wood in a fireplace, in exchange of a longer life that can surpass a normal human being.
The sun isn't only their punishment, being a monster is. Once they've signed the contract of being a demon of immortality they lose their humanity, devour all creatures in their way, bloodlust and the taste of flesh is their new desire so is greed. Well, that's not their concern even after being one and when the world had castigate them. All they care now is power and living more than a person can.
Living for a hundreds, thousands maybe more than billions of years. When comes darkness, light joins in... am I right? Not all people wanted to be a demon, not all wished for that ending, not all desired to consume their once kind. Some demons managed to keep their humanity and not let it go to waste, they continue to live like humans despite their unhuman abilities. (Y/n) is one of them, living in an abandoned house in the depths of the woods on a hill far from people.
Away from the smell their demon-self desired, not once and will they never taste the skin of a human and the feeling of blood staining their mouths and clothes. They wore a (f/c) (p/c) yukata with the bottom part folded multiple times upwards letting them run more comfortably and faster. They lived for quite some time eating demons (or parts of the demons, peferably the entire demon) weakier than them to hold on to dear life.
Living all alone, in a small house with no one else the animals around the area are their friends. They would go inside and accompany them whenever they feel sad, the animals are aware they are a demon but despite that they fully trust them. Their loneliness will soon end, "The moon is glowing it's brightest today isn't?" An old stranger asked (y/n) as they descend the hill closer to the village below. "Yes it is..." they replied looking at the white moon above them through the diaphanous cloth covering her eyes, hiding the fact they are a demon.
"Are you sure you are fine?" The elder asked, she looked straight at the path avoiding eye-contact. "What do you mean, kind sir?" They asked, heart beating as they maintain themselves. "I mean, living alone in the woods. You told me you are blind that's why you have a cloth covering your eyes," he explained, worry both in his eyes and voice. They chuckled a bit to themselves, "I'm okay by myself, I've trained to live alone and to survive plus kind people like you help me sometimes. They come to my house amd helping me with my everyday task, no worries," they lied, keeping with the fictional story about themselves seem convincing.
He didn't spoke and continued walking downwards. (Y/n) stopped picking a scent she recognize so well, "Wisteria," they told themselves. "This is where we part ways I guess, just go forward and be careful for danger especially because it's night. I can't walk any further to guide you," they said giving the elder a warm smile which made him safe and calm as he nodded. They waved goodbye, "Don't get lost in the woods again sir! Bring someone with you whenever you come again in this place!" They shouted out to him, he turned around and waved again, signaling he'll be fine and he will before returning on focusing his path.
Meanwhile, a boy with a mohawk hair wondered the place; passing through tree after three wearing the demon slayer uniform under his purple yukata with a sword resting by his hip, supported by his white belt with his hand holding a pistol. "Don't get lost in the woods again sir!" A faint high-pitched voice of a person echoed. He followed it and saw a person waving to an elder man, they wore a (f/c) yukata, black slippers and a woven hat with a thin fabric hanging infront of it covering the person's eyes only revealing their mouth.
(Y/n) stood there for awhile before turning back walking backwards going to where they started. As they turned they caught a glimpse of a person, they stumbled back in realization on whom was looking at them. "T-that uniform... a demon slayer!" They exclaimed in their head as they ran upwards, that action surprised him and he followed behind. He noticed how quick they were running, "No normal person can run this fast..." he thought before shoving that idea away.
"This person lives in the woods, for goodness sake Genya!" He yelled his name in his own mind. (Y/n) saw him from the corner of her eye and sprinted faster attempting to outrun him, "His still following me as expected from a demon slayer...you're an idiot (y/n)! Why did you run instead of keeping your cool and ask him?! Now your suspisious!" They scolded themselves, can you blame them?
A demon acting like a human, who wants to live normal despite being a creature of the night, sees a slayer who elimanate every demon he sees. A demon slayer under their skin without knowing what he'll do. A thought like thag frightens them even if they done nothing wrong, now that thought is real. It became reality, they expected that but their in that thought now it sends chills down their spine.
Huff. Huff. Huff.
They can hear their own breathing and feel their heart's beat vibrating their throat. Keep in mind, yes, (y/n) is a demon but not a powerful one. They are stronger than a human but not as strong as the demons, who lost themselves, that roam the night. They stopped, standing in the middle of the woods "Where did he went?" They asked themselves searching around, freaquently looking from north to east, west to south.
"Maybe he gave up..." they sighed in relief, "Yeah...he did...he did..." they told themselves to calm themselves. As they turned, warm hands held their shoulders. Shocked, their eyes widen to see the demon slayer earlier in front of them. "Why did you–" before he could finish his sentance he hid his face by looking down, (y/n) gave him a confused face. He got flustered before he can finish his question, (y/n) blushed a bit thinking it was cute before noticing his heavy breathing.
"A-are you tired?" They stuttered out, "You can stay at my house for the night if you like," they offered the slayer with a smile " 'Be good to other people and the good will come back to you'. Right mother?" They chanted the words of their mother they haven't seen for so long to the point they dont know if they are still alive or not. He nodded softly and they led the way.
That happened months ago. (Y/n) now knows the demon slayer's name, a name they'll never forget, a name they'll never get tired of saying. "Genya!" They exclaimed seeing his figure fade into shape through the shade of the tress as they hid patiently through the shadows of the house's walls, unable to run towards him with a hug. They didn't wore the hat anymore, they didn't hid their (f/c) eyes and let it glisten. The reason why they hide their eyes at first is because they can't change their demonic-looking eyes into normal eyes.
Their eyes' pupil looks sharper than normal, giving the humans a strange aura as if they are not human like them. The first time they showed someone their eyes, they scream and nearly ended their life but when Genya came in they learned to love it (they still hide their eyes from other people). When he stood infront of them, he was first introduced with a warm hug.
He returned the love by kissing (y/n)'s forehead. They looked up with a tint of blush on their face only to see the person who appreciated them for being who they are. Who still stayed despite what they've become, despite their flaws and unhuman abilities. "I wish the day where we can live both under the sun will come faster," both of them dreamed but for now they have to wait for that time to arrive at their doorstep.
