The Hashiras, the best swordsman of the Corps, do not have the best bond with the Water pillar, a cold and isolated pillar.. but everything changes when the insect pillar, Shinobu, finally crosses the line. [COMPLETED]

Inside the cozy campus café, mitsuri leaned in and whispered, "Shinobu, I bet you can't make Giyuu fall in love with you." Shinobu raised an eyebrow. "Why would I want to?" "Because it's a game," Mitsuri insisted. "And you're the queen of games. Besides, he's intriguing. Mysterious. The perfect puzzle for you to solve." ---- Shinobu Kocho, known for her straightforward and somewhat cocky demeanor, was a prominent figure at her university. Her family owned the renowned Kocho Hospital in town, adding to her prestige. As a fourth-year Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy student, she excelled academically and carried herself with confidence. Giyu Tomioka, on the other hand, was a quiet second-year law student at the same university. His reserved nature and respectful demeanor set him apart from the crowd. Mitsuri, a mutual friend of Shinobu and Giyu, playfully challenged Shinobu to make Giyu fall in love with her-a bet Shinobu accepted with unwavering confidence. However, as Shinobu spent time with Giyu, she discovered that he was more than just a logical law enthusiast. Beneath his calm exterior, he was kind, considerate, and surprisingly gentle. The challenge turned into a genuine connection, and Shinobu found herself falling for the quiet student she had initially underestimated.

"So tell me, Aoi - tell me, why do you, a person who doesn't even want to lift a sword, can make a strong man like me feel sick and weak without you?" "You annoy me, kiss me when you're not supposed to and always steal food. But you broke my walls down and made me fall, real hard, in love with you too." Inosuke is a short-tempered young man who grew up in the mountains. He learned about affection and love through his two best friends, Tanjiro and Zenitsu. The women he cared for in his life are dead. Aoi survived the Final Selection, but she thinks of herself as weak and incapable to defeat demons. In turn, she becomes a helper at the Butterfly Mansion and is always attending to the sick and injured. As he spends more time in the Butterfly Mansion, waiting for his best friends to wake up, Inosuke realizes that he gets drawn to Aoi. How is that possible? They fight all the time. "What are you looking at?" Aoi growls. "I use my eyes to look at whatever I want!" Later, seeing Kanao getting together with Tanjiro and Nezuko falling in love with Zenitsu; sometimes Inosuke wonders if a strong man like him doesn't need a woman. He is wrong. He isn't immune to love. Warning: Slow-burn romance. I depict realistic circumstances related to the age of characters, historical period and their respective personalities.
