DISCONTINUED What would become of Water Hashira Giyu Tomioka had he become demon? If he had come just half a day earlier? Well, that we'll never know. But, what about later on? What should happen if he fell into the hands of darkness, sinking into the depths of evil? Could he possibly be brought back? Or perhaps he'll give in to bloodlust, and a solution be found far too late. Would Giyu Tomioka feast on human blood before a cure could reach him, or will a strange feeling only experienced once before prevent the horrid fate of slaughter? ••• First chapter or so may kinda suck, I'm bad at beginnings ->- latter chapters should be better! 2024: Y'all got this to #1 in giyuxtanjiro how the hell- ••• AU NOTES: 1. An AU where Tomioka Giyuu has been turned into a demon, and Tanjiro seeks out a way to cure him. Along the way, Giyuu seems to give off new emotions and grows closer to Tanjiro, possibly revealing something to the demon slayer as time goes on. 2. Everyone has been aged up to around four years for legal reasons. Those ages can be seen as follows: Tanjiro - 19 | Giyu - 25 | Zenitsu - 20 | Nezuko - 18 | Inosuke - 19 | Muichiro - 18 | Kanao - 20 | Genya - 20 | Aoi - 20(?) | Uzui - 27 | Rengoku - 24 | Mitsuri - 23 | Obanai - 25 | Sanemi - 25 | Gyomei - 31 | Shinobu - 22 3. Nezuko has already been cured and all of the pillars are alive. This won't match up with the manga, though I can't guarantee that I won't make some references to it.
