Your brother always suggested you joined the demon slayer corps as it was a thing passed down your family line. Of course like any normal human, you were absolutely terrified. That was until something happened that changed your life, so you join the...
"Lady (y/n), how about you come with me to save time? You would be a great help to our master.." The demon was staring you down with a seductive voice, and this pissed Tanjiro off.
"In your dreams, you filthy bastard!!" You yelled out to him, trying to land an attack. Unfortunately it missed, and the demon grabbed your arm refusing to let go.
"Call me Orokana. Orokana Yarou." He pinned you to the ground by your neck, threatening to kill you.
"Hmm.. there's so many things I could do to you right now, eh? Pull out your eyeballs, rip out your guts.. give you my disease.. and even tear off your arms! Ohoho how delightful!" He was just about to land another hand on you, before Tanjiro stopped him.
"Get your nasty hands off of her right now!! She doesn't want to go with you, you hear me!?!" He threw his sword right towards his back, causing a deep cut.
"Damn you, I don't care if she doesn't want to!! Go to hell!!" Orokana got up and sharpened his nails, slashing Tanjiro. It was a success, leaving a small scar on his face and a little cut on his haori. He pulled Tanjiro's Katana out of his back, throwing it back at him. You lifted your head in panic.
"Tanjirou!! Watch out!!" Tanjiro heard you cry out, and barley dodged it. You got up and pulled your sword out, getting irritated.
You ran towards the demon, kicking him in the ribs. You heard a small crackling sound when you lifted your foot off.
"Uargh!! You're coming with me, little girl!!" The demon grabbed your arm, and somehow, you blacked out with no trace. The last thing you heard was Tanjiro scream your name.

You woke up in a place with demons surrounding you, kneeling down. You looked up to see a woman that looked quite similar to Muzan that you saw at the city.

"Why thank you Orokana for bringing her to me. I shall reward you for your hard work once we are finished." Orokana bowed and left.
"Lady (y/n), do you know why you are here today?" The woman called out.
"No I don't!! What the hell is this?! Why am I here?! And who are you?!" You yelled.
"Why, don't get so cocky! I'm Muzan." She smiled weirdly, it kinda creeped you out.
"Muzan- she's a girl?! What?" You thought to yourself, but decided to not say anything because it could get you into trouble.
"Yes, I am indeed a girl. At least for now," She said. You started to panic.
Did she just... Read my mind?!
"I have brought you here to reason to you why you should join me." You started to get very angry, but then your heart dropped.
..it was your parents. She brought your parents into the equation.
"M-mom?!- Dad!?" Your voice trembled. They looked very beaten up and tired, and more importantly... They became demons.
"(Y-y/n).. I'm sorry we couldn't protect you.. I'm sorry you had to witness Hiroto's death. I'm sorry about all of it. I'm sorry we couldn't be the guardians that should've been there your whole life.
—— Flashback - Hiroto's POV
Mother was holding a baby in her hands, but started crying. She carefully handed her to me, getting ready to say something.
"Listen, Hiroto. Me and your father have to go to America to get some work done for your safety. While we are gone, I need you to protect this baby girl with all you have. You will only have each other." She paused for a moment, then turned away. "I'm sorry Hiroto, my flight is here now." They both stormed out the door, leaving both me and the child.
"I'll name her.. (y/n). It's my dream to become a demon slayer.. maybe she can be my Tsuguko!" —— End of flashback
"No.. mom- dad!! Don't go please!! You're one of the only things I have left besides Asuno! She is me and Hiroto's adoptive sister if you didn't know but still!" I started crying. I shouldn't have to face this. I'm too young.
It was already too late, and Muzan went ahead and killed them. "You need to learn to make your decisions quickly, useless girl. Your parents just died because you wouldn't join me, how sweet." I got so mad I wanted to scream as loud as I could, but I'd probably suffer even more if I did. Now wasn't the time, he was right. I do need to make my decisions quicker.
"Although, I do leave you off with one more option." You lifted your head up in curiosity, but didn't expect it to be good at all.
Your eyes widened as you saw the tall boy appear in front of you.
..He brought Hiroto down. He was alive.
You were speechless. You couldn't believe your eyes. "O-oh my god.. Hiroto I'm so sorry!" You went up to him and hugged him as tight as you could.
"I'm so sorry I didn't listen to you.. I'm terribly sorry I regret all of it I swear!" You cried and cried.
"Shhh.. it's okay, (y/n). It was the past. It doesn't matter now. Listen, I don't think I'll get to stay for very long, but Tanjiro is there for you. Muzan might as well kill me again, it's a miracle that I'm here right now." He hugged you back, calming you down.
"Tanjiro is strong. He won't die like I did okay? Trust me on that. And don't die on him either, please. You mean the world to him I promise." You looked up and made eye contact with him, him seeing your teary face.
"I'm glad I got to talk with you, (y/n). Tell Asuno I said hi for me." He then vanished, no where to be seen. Muzan then looked down to you.
