I added Makomo in this story as a Giyu's friend. Story Background: In this alternate timeline, Tomioka Giyu alters fate during the Final Selection, saving both Sabito and Makomo from a gruesome end. Giyu is never consumed by the isolation of survivor's guilt. Carried by Sabito's fierce loyalty and Makomo's gentle guidance, Giyu finds his place among the Pillars. Step into a Demon Slayer AU where the water lineage remains unbroken, and three friends stand side-by-side against the darkness of Muzan.

Soulmates don't always have to be lovers; they can be close friends, too. But what defines the boundary between platonic friendship and romance? Shinobu doesn't know, and neither does Giyuu. Somehow, it's not all that troublesome not to know everything. ｡ﾟ•┈꒰ა ♡ ໒꒱┈• ｡ﾟ This is a high school rom-com GiyuShino story set in the modern universe in Japan.

Prompt - What if Shinobu lost her family at a young age and got trained by Urokodaki? Shinobu Kocho wakes up to find her whole village assassinated by a pair of demons, including her family.

Yuji. A tear. Throat tighten again, like an icy crystals breaking through to the outside. What happened in this house three days ago? What happened to her little brother... "I can't do it..." Her grip on the handle loosened as she lowered her a shoulders. What I have done... I was supposed to die three days ago. So why am I still alive? . 水 の 呼 吸 弐 ノ 型 水 車 . This man was powerful. Everything seemed to shift to accommodate his mere presence. He had the physique of a warrior, with long, dark hair tied back. Mismatched haori. With the distant croaking of a raven, he moved, the metal clicking softly. Blue blade. "Wait. Don't kill him. He's my brother. I don't know what happened to him...but...he's my brother." She moved like a sleepwalker. Her words seemed slurred, as if she didn't have the strength to open her mouth, her legs were falling with each step. In her hand was a katana that she waved carelessly.- where did she get that? "Kid, move away from that demon. He's not your brother anymore." "Get away! Yuji will come back to us, give him a moment! He's scared of you! Put the sword away, you bastard!" A pale, lifeless shadow of what it once was, for a split second it focused its entire consciousness on the image of its crying sister. But the man heard no more. He killed them all.

Angst Giyushino au in where giyu comes back from a mission to his estate and receives a letter from Oyakata telling him that shinobu is soon going to get forced until marriage and she will no longer be a part of the demon slayer corp.

Not my idea all credit goes to @HdhsHdhd9 Sabito survives Final Selection and eventually becomes the Water Hashira. Because Giyu never carries the guilt of believing Sabito died in his place, he grows up much softer. He is still quiet and socially awkward, but instead of the cold, distant Giyu from canon, he is shy, gentle, kindhearted, and somewhat insecure. He smiles occasionally, gets embarrassed easily, and tends to apologize when he thinks he has caused trouble. Giyu is an accomplished Water Breathing swordsman, but he is not a Hashira when the story begins. Sabito remains stronger and serves as both his senior and mentor. Kanae also survives Dōma. Because Shinobu never has to bury Kanae and imitate her smile after her death, Shinobu develops differently too. She doesn't hide everything behind a cheerful expression. She is sharp-tempered, blunt, impatient, intensely protective, and rarely smiles. She's still intelligent and compassionate underneath, but she makes absolutely no effort to disguise when someone irritates her.

[Now Available on AO3] Both parts of the story have been fully uploaded in English on AO3. However, the update pace for new chapters on AO3 will be slower compared to Wattpad. Tomioka Giyuu once believed that his fate was to survive-to carry the pain of those who had fallen, until one day he himself would vanish as the price of power finally claimed him. When he stood before the divine, he was granted a chance to return to the past: to save the one he loved, to change the destinies of comrades who had been taken too soon by a merciless fate. The condition was placed before him without hesitation. A pale golden thread of fate, flickering like the dying light of a soul sinking ever deeper-one so thoroughly drowned in despair that it no longer possessed the strength to enter the cycle of reincarnation. It was not someone he knew. Nor was it someone he was permitted to ask salvation for. Yet Giyuu still reached out his hand, accepting the bond-accepting that from that moment onward, the destinies of two strangers would no longer pass each other like parallel lines, never meant to meet. The divine witnessed this choice and arranged a single point of intersection: a child who had not yet been born, a life that should have vanished before ever taking form, leaving behind a man destined to live his entire life in solitude. When Giyuu opened his eyes once more, he did not return to the past in the body of a warrior, but within the fragile vessel of a life that had only just begun. He was born into the arms of a man-not the strongest swordsman to have ever existed, but a father who had never been given the chance to hold onto his family. From that moment on, two fates were bound together. No one replaced another. No one inherited another's destiny. But from then on, neither of them would ever have to walk forward alone again.

"We'll definitely get revenge. Together." Shinobu Kocho lives a double life as a assassin. Giyu Tomioka is the unknown heir to a powerful business empire. Bound by tragedy and a shared thirst for vengeance, they form an unlikely alliance to hunt down the people responsible for their families' deaths-no matter the cost. This is a giyushino & sanekana fanfic. ALL CREDITS to Koyoharu Gotouge, the author of demon slayer-kimetsu no yaiba. NOTE:- THERE ARE SCENES OF VOILENCE AND ROMANCE.

Giyuu immediately devises a plan to win over his beloved-applying for a teaching position at the school just to stay by Shinobu's side. Yet, will the strict campus rules ever allow the seeds of their forbidden affection to blossom? In this second chance at life, will he end up letting his beloved slip through his fingers once again...?
