A Demon Slayer AU
He speaks maybe a dozen words a month. He has never once shown his face to another living soul. And at nineteen, he is already the strongest Hashira the Corps has ever seen.
Kurenai Yomi did not inherit his breathing style, he built it from nothing, alone, in the silence he prefers over company. Death Breathing bears his name for a reason: nothing he draws his blade against walks away from it. Behind the black mask, the skull stitched haori, and the presence that makes even fellow Hashira reach for their hilts, there is a person almost no one has been allowed to meet, quiet not out of coldness, but because he has never had a reason to speak until now.
In a world full of monsters, the demon slaying falls to him, and to the eight other Pillars standing beside him. This is his story, told the way the Corps actually lived it: hashira meetings and petty rivalries, missions that go wrong in an instant, a friendship with Shinobu Kocho that slowly cracks the mask more than any blade ever could, and a war against Muzan Kibutsuji that was always going to demand everything he has.
