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.

Tanjiro was once an ordinary teenage boy who lived a quiet life on a mountain. He lived a fulfilling life and supported his family through selling charcoal. However, this peace would not last as one faithful night he returned home to find a merciless demon consuming the flesh of his beloved siblings and mother. The boy tried to stand up to its power, but stood absolutely no chance. He would have suffered the same cruel fate as his family had he not been saved from the monster by a mysterious swordsman and his newly demonic sister. Now Tanjiro sets himself on a quest to become a Demon Slayer in order to restore the girl's humanity. Over the course of his journey he suffers constant hardship, intolerance, failure, defeat, and loss. However along the way he gains a new purpose in life and meets people who matter to him. Especially a quiet girl with a butterfly hair pin. The boy also gets involved with the politics of the world and learns the history of a lost empire that holds the keys towards destroying the demon king once and for all.

I was so useless, I couldn't do anything, except quake before this man, no devil, in fear. Hello, this fan fiction is going to be where Tanjiro becomes a demon, instead of Nezuko. Before reading this I am going to tell you that this fan fiction will take a totally different path than the anime/manga does. This fan fiction is all purely based on the events in the anime, till chapter twenty, and then afterwards events that are not in the anime, only in manga, will be taking place. ~ Cover Art: @ForeverFireAnime ~Disclaimer: Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba does not belong to me, it rightfully belongs to the amazing person, Koyoharu Gotōge. She did such an amazing job, this anime/manga is a masterpiece. So give her all the amazing credit please!!

/Warning! This story deals with a topic that most of you have not encountered and I hope you never will, but it may be inappropriate for sensitive individuals./ Autumn light peered through the windows for shorter and shorter periods, and another year - another one spent together - was drawing to a close. Yet it wasn't just that year, something else was also coming to an end. While most people were writing Christmas shopping lists and planning how to spend that joyful time, others grappled with an entirely different issue: a loss that was inevitable. Trying to live as normally as possible while simultaneously coming to terms with the situation, each subsequent touch and kiss grew ever more beautiful, yet increasingly painful, in anticipation of the unavoidable. Kanao wished for something that wasn't possible but despite the pain she had no intention of forgetting what had been, for memories would be the only thing left to her This isn't a pleasant story, really. Demon Slayer characters do not belong to me.
