"How about you? What do you want?" It was always the same question he asked her over and over again. But each time he asked, he was greeted with just a smile as she walked away. He wanted her to feel that she has the right to live her own life. He wanted her to know, that he truly loves her as much as he did for his other wives. But she always walked away, never voicing out what she wanted.

"[name], run for your life. Live a normal life, forget about us," her mother whispered as she ushered [name] away from the danger lurking about their territory. [name] was part of a shinobi clan, and was trained to become the successor. "Poor child, come and join us," Those words rang through [name]'s mind as she remembered the day that her family was killed off by a demon and she was saved by the previous Flame Pillar. She was a mere 12-year-old girl back then, who had watched the last of kind get devoured right before her. She was taken in by the Ubuyashiki and had joined the Demon Slayer Corps, earning her title as a pillar at the age of 14, surpassing many due to her previous training as a shinobi. Her reflexes were admired by many, but many noticed the cold attitude she had displayed. She was the shadow pillar, a pillar that Ubuyashiki Kagaya was proud to have in the Demon Slayer Corps, for she was the support pillar. Often when she was requested to go on a mission secretly to help other Demon Slayers out, she comes back with excellent results and zero casualties. But what happens when [name] fights alongside Uzui Tengen, a man who was also a shinobi? And here she thought, she was the only shinobi left.

"Hubby, I'm taking this!" - [name] Only for her to realize who she had sabotaged, Was her new roommate at the Academy Hall. Oh, what a turn of events.

He was known to be reserved. And she was known to be the newest Upper Moon to ever exist in the era. Yet, she was so similar to him. He watched her often getting called upon by their Master. He watched her smile at something that he couldn't understand. That's when he realized, she had retained her human emotions. Unlike him, driven by a certain hatred within his demon soul. Yet, on the night he went out hunting together with her, watching the way she glowed beneath the moonlight. He felt a burning sensation within his cold heart, a feeling he found familiar but was long forgotten once. Was it love? He thought. Soon it turned into a competition, a constant need to see her every day. Getting irritated whenever the other Upper Moons were near her. He was known to be reserved, but oh well, he was known to be hot-headed when it comes to her.

"Trust is important because it is the basis around which all human relationships revolve. Without trust, there can be no relationship. Trust can come naturally or it can be manifested. But then again, it will be my decision to trust you," Those words lingered through his mind as Kamado Tanjiro, the hidden Upper Moon that was tasked by his supposedly only master, Kibutsuji Muzan, to assassinate the ever so calm Ubushiyaki Kagaya. Yet, nobody knew he was a demon. Until she found out.

She didn't know what happened. She wasn't a demon slayer or a helper. She only remembered she was brought in by them. Even though she knew one of them was a demon. But she stayed because of them. And now she unexpectedly became the sun in their lives.

She was born special despite being blind. She is persistent and enduring. She is none other than the younger sister, Let alone the tsuguko of Himejima Gyomei. The only thing worst than being blind, is having sight but no vision. But all she ever wanted, was to see the colors of the world.

The most beautiful words of love are told in silence for a look. He had always thought he wouldn't need anybody. Given how he solely focuses on the blades he crafts. Yet, the moment he delivered the blade to the new Hashira, He couldn't help but feel his heart skipped a beat then. Time and again, she showered him with affection while he returned with none. Only for him to love her back in his own way, which she had always known.
