"As long as you are breathing, I'll come to you," Those words replayed in her head every day, and she could only hope for him to come save her. But as soon as tragedy falls upon his family, he abandoned her and his younger brother. She watched as he turned his back on her, yet something was tugging him back. It was more than just wishing she was alive. It was the fact that he was willing to sacrifice anything, just to ensure her safety. But little did he know, he was the one being saved.

Being a demon slayer, especially taking the position of a Wind Hashira. Shinazugawa Sanemi knew the dangers of him not being able to return home someday. Many wondered, how could someone who is gentle and kind like Akane [name], a helper in the Demon Slayer Corps, get together with someone as short-tempered and violent like Shinazugawa Sanemi? Many believed that she deserves way much better than the constant arguments she was having every day with the Wind Hashira. And one day, it ended. It ended with him comparing her to someone who she could never be. Kocho Kanae. But then, there was a hidden reason why he wanted to end things with her. For he was entirely devoted to protecting her at all costs, even if it means him losing his life as well.

Often portrayed as cold. Often called upon being disliked by his people. Tomioka Giyuu thought he was destined to be alone. He thought he wouldn't be able to find someone who would love him ultimately. But his eyes set upon a magical being who was seen peeking out from the ocean. All he could think about was those pair of magnificent beautiful eyes. Then came the notice of the cursed kingdom. She was part of the kingdom, cursed, to never return to land. Mythical creatures are often being hunted by kingdoms to ensure that they are showing how powerful and resourceful they were. What will Tomioka Giyuu do, when he realizes his beloved one was captured?

"Don't worry, Rui. Nee-san will always be here with you, even if you cannot turn back into a human," He remembers her then. He remembers all the effort she has put into. He remembers the warmth of her back as she often carried him around the house. While she does the chores in a splendid manner, keeping it clean and free of dust. He remembers those words she would speak to him when putting him to sleep. He remembers being adopted into her family, only to bring great tragedy. Yet, she didn't blame him in any sort of way. Telling him that it was God's choice to take away her family. He remembers her effort in protecting himself back then, preventing him from getting killed. Trying her best to gain the trust and faith of all the demon slayers she has crossed path with. Only to become, the Shadow Hashira that vowed to return him to human.

He was known to be a hot-blooded individual. Showing little to no concern about anything or anybody. Except towards the swords he creates with his burning passion. Many disliked him, finding him to be very difficult to approach. Given how hot-headed he was, yet the passion he had for swords made him stand out from most of the swordsmiths who made swords for the sake of it. He didn't need anything else. Nor did he need love. He just wanted to create swords after swords. Only to realize he had other feelings, for a particular Hashira. Then many started to question then, why would someone like her fall in love with someone as hot-tempered as him? And how?

It all started with just a phone call. From a phone call to daily texting. Unknowingly to them, they were hooked to one another. Only to not know how they looked like. It was her voice that Shinazugawa Sanemi was mesmerized by. Followed by her kindness then, how she would always be there Despite them not seeing each other before.

There was something awfully great about her. That made them want to protect her at all costs. There was something awfully pleasant about her, That they feel at ease when she was around them. There was something about her. That made them decide that she was their favorite.

** WARNING, CONTAINS SMUT! What made Shinazugawa Sanemi become so a hot-headed, violent? Was it because of losing his family to demons? Or was it something else? He felt lost the moment she disappeared. He felt like he was going in circles then for those two years. Only to have her reappearing before his eyes. How will things turn out for them?

She wasn't supposed to be there from the start. But somehow, his heart burned with passion for her. Watching her hanging around them made him feel faint. He never knew she would end up there in the first place. He vowed with the passion in his heart, That he will bring her to her true home.

**WARNING, CONTAINS LEMON! "𝙸𝚏 𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛 𝚒𝚗 𝚍𝚘𝚞𝚋𝚝, 𝚛𝚎𝚖𝚎𝚖𝚋𝚎𝚛, 𝚢𝚘𝚞'𝚛𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚠𝚑𝚘 𝚖𝚊𝚍𝚎 𝚖𝚢 𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚝 𝚙𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍 𝚑𝚊𝚛𝚍 𝚊𝚐𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚜𝚝 𝚖𝚢 𝚌𝚑𝚎𝚜𝚝," - 𝚂𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚊𝚣𝚞𝚐𝚊𝚠𝚊 𝚂𝚊𝚗𝚎𝚖𝚒. Saved by him was something she didn't expect. Opening up to him was another milestone but he was happy with it. Little by little did her heart heal and she started to fall. To fall for the ever so reliable Master of hers.
