Giyuu, though he was a demon, just wanted a peaceful life... yet that didn't happen, instead he got admitted to the upper ranks and forced to obey Muzan.. Muzan starts to send things to attack Giyuu, useless things that he wants to get rid of (he's using Giyuu...) Giyuu knows this, but needs to kill what's in his way to survive (indirectly helping Muzan...) Yet in one battle with a Hashira, they bring up his past, and he begins to feel the pain and emotions he hasn't felt in years... It took all the Hashira and many demon corp members, plus trying to mentally attack Giyuu, for the hashira to finally capture him... Knowing that having a demon for information and help, would be useful... Now Giyuu is even further away from his hopes of a peaceful life...... And he has to takle an every day life of not getting hurt or killed by the hashira....

When two opposite personalities were paired together in a battle which was screaming blood-shed and seemed never ending against a lowermoon for information some unexpected discovery was made by Shinazugawa.. what had Shinazugawa, the Wind Hashira discovered? and how will this affect Tomioka's and Shinazugawa's relation? Will he grow feelings towards the raven-black haired hashira? How will the other Hashira's react to this? Is it a disaster or an unexpected twist in Tomioka's life?

After losing his family, Muichiro Tokito's world has faded into a lifeless grey, both in color and memory. Struggling with the trauma and his foggy past, he befriends the stoic Water Pillar, Giyuu Tomioka, who sees him not as broken, but as someone worth understanding. Through an unexpected bond of friendship and brotherhood, Giyuu helps Muichiro rediscover the vibrancy of life and the colors that had long been lost, healing him in ways he never thought possible. Not a Giyuu and Muichiro love story. Only a sibling/friendship dynamic. 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞: 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐮𝐩 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐱𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫𝐬/𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐨𝐬.

Giyuu Tomioka never escaped from the clutches of insanity. Being dragged away by relatives of his that were doctors all because he insisted that his sister was slaughtered by demons, it was the truth, but over time as these doctors started to chip away at his mind he was left unsure of any reason demons would exist in a world. These doctors always tormented Giyuu even in his sleep to the point he became an emotionless being. Until he was saved by a woman. For the first time in years Giyuu actually felt something and instead of working on the opposing side of demons, he found himself working for a demon, she was kind and quiet, and almost emotionless in a way, she treated Giyuu like a normal human being but then she was recruited to help people who slayed demons, since she couldn't work in the sunlight, Giyuu was often sent in her stead when test were being ran during the day, there he met some people who were interesting, people's lives that were damaged by demons but they never seemed emotionless like him, it confused him made him wonder if he was always supposed to be like this, if there was a way he could have been different. As he wonders into his thoughts, he runs into someone, someone who looked severely damaged by the hands of demons on the outside but on the inside he seemed put together but a little degraded, he seemed to be intrigued by Giyuu and Giyuu wouldn't admit but he intrigued him. So Giyuu found himself being followed by this person and constantly annoyed by him that for the first time in years he felt emotions.

"Giyuu-sama!" Aoi's voice broke through the tension, filled with relief as she hurried to Kanao's side, carefully cradling her. "The sun is almost up! We just need to...to..." Her words caught in her throat, her breath hitching as she looked up at Giyuu. He turned to face her, and what she saw made her blood run cold. Giyuu's eyes-once deep, round pools of blue that looked like a calm ocean-were now sharp, vertical slits, glowing with an unnatural light. Aoi's heart pounded in her chest, the realization crashing over her like a wave. The man who had fought so valiantly to protect them, who had refused to give in even when the odds were against him... was now one of them. "No..." she whispered, her voice trembling. "It can't be..." But the truth was undeniable. Giyuu was no longer human. He was a demon. ----- I finally protected someone." Giyuu thought, staring at the faces of Aoi Kanzaki, Kanao Tsuyuri, Kiyo, Naho, and Sumi. Sabito, Nee-san... are you proud of me?
