** 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?

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?

Demons and demon hunters. One resides in the darkest night, another basked in the brightest sunlight. Dark and light... the beginning and the end... The darkness that swallows everything, the light that illuminated every being. Amidst this war of the opposites lies a story about a game of truth and deceit. Can they determine the mendacity? --- [Cover by: @Juni_Penguin_]

Pillars, are the top-ranked and most powerful swordsmen among the Demon Hunters in the Demon Killing Corps who serve as its elite warriors. It has been known throughout all the Demon Hunters that currently there are nine pillars. Flame. Water. Wind. Rock. Sound. Mist. Snake. Love. Insect. Tanjirō, on his search of the Dance of the Fire God, went to ask one of the Pillars, Shinobu Kochō, or the Insect Pillar. After that, he found out the existence of the tenth pillar. Who might this hidden pillar be? Cherry blossoms, represent the impermanent nature of life. Not only is the beauty of the flowers short and sweet, the trees themselves are also short-lived. But there are contradictory meanings as well. Cherry blossoms symbolize both birth and death, beauty and violence. Sakurajima Chihiro. Strong, beautiful, gentle and kind, yet conflicted. Living her life by the mercy of 'death' himself made her life miserable, dark, and empty. Walking the dark path, together with her childhood friend, the stoic Water Pillar, Tomioka Giyū, unconsciously, they support each other. Both giving a tiny ray of hope to each other. Giyū, overcome with guilt of his own incompetence, buried his feeling for the Blossom Pillar deep inside his heart. Gripping their own swords inside their heart, they both pursue the same enemy, holding the same feelings, walk the same path, loathing the same foe. Yet, they continue to contradict their own hearts, closing their ears to each other's screams.
