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...
Asuno kept growling at me, until she heard what I said. "Asuno please.. I am here for you.." I had remembered something I heard from Hiroto, something that he had told me.
Flashback "(Y/n) please.. I am here for you. There is nothing to worry about." Hiroto hugged me as I started crying, traumatized. I was thirteen years old when I was about to be slaughtered by a demon, watching the corpses pile up as they killed them one by one. Hiroto saw this and decapitated the demon, worried about my well being.
—— Asuno stopped growling, and she stopped trying to hurt me. She hesitated for a moment, and then started to...
Cry? Was she... Crying?
Asuno was crying! She heard me..!
"Asuno!! You can hear me!" I got up and hugged her as she hugged back, realizing everything. She then started to speak up.
"(Y/n).. what.. what do I do..? What have I become.." I started to worry about her, especially because she couldn't go outside during the day now, and the corps would try to slay her. As I said, only Nezuko had an approval, it'll take some convincing to let Asuno pass by as well.
"Don't worry, Asuno. I'll get you out of this mess, no matter what it takes. I am here for you, we will fight along together I promise! I will find a cure and kill the monster that hurt you."
Tanjiro watched from afar and saw everything that happened. He walked over to me.
"(Y/n), you'll need a place to keep Asuno. Unfortunately I can't get in contact with Urokodaki right now to get another one, but I can weave you a basket and give you a cloth to cover it with!" He smiled at me as my heart warmed up, it made me feel thankful that I had him.
"Oh my, really? Thank you so much Tanjiro, you're the best! I can't thank you enough!" I got up and hugged Tanjiro, I felt his face heat up as he hugged me back.
I watched as he weaved Asuno's basket together, seeming very concentrated.
"All done!"

"It's the same way I weaved Nezuko's basket before I got this box from Urokodaki. I hope it works!" Tanjiro handed me the basket and smiled.
"Thank you so much, Tanjiro! How do I repay you?" I wanted to do something for him, but he declined my offer.
"There's no need to repay me! After all it's really hard to get by with a demon, especially with the corps around." He smiled again, it was too wholesome to maintain.
"I really appreciate it, I guess I should give it a shot now!" He nodded.
"Hey Asuno, do you think you can fit inside the basket?" Asuno tried to get in, but it was too small for her. She almost fit, though.
"Hmmm.. wait! You know how you got super big just now? Do you think you could get.. smaller?" And so Asuno did as I said, and tried getting smaller. It worked!
Tanjiro POV
The things that (Y/n) did and said reminded me of when I asked Nezuko to get smaller to fit inside her basket.. it made me feel relieved to know that there were more innocent demons other than Nezuko.
I know I've already said this before, but.. I really like (y/n). But I just don't know how to ask her out, let alone tell her how I really feel. She was amazing, beautiful, smart, strong, and really nice to me as well. I loved her a lot, and if I were to ever loose her, then well.. I don't know how I would be able to contain myself.
