"So do you have any intel on the demon we have to kill?" I asked my brother. We were running towards the forest before nightfall.

I looked up seeing that evening was passing, soon turning into night.

"All I know is they aren't part of the Twelve Kizuki." Hearing that come out of my brother's mouth relieved me to know that it wouldn't be hard.

"Why did they need two Hashira though...?" I saw my brother shrug his shoulders and I sighed in response. It can't be that bad...right?

I heard a bell coming from a nearby tree and stopped. "Is there-" I interrupted my brother before he could say another word.

"Sh." I unsheathed my katana, wielding it in my right hand. If something attacks us, I'll be ready.

More noises came from the same tree, so I continued to walk up to it. I made hand signals for Giyu to strike if it jumped above me. 

I made three swift movements to cut the tree down revealing, nothing. What? I swore it was here.

"Blood Demon Art: Gift"

My eyes widened as I saw the attack head straight to my brother, I lunged toward him blocking the attack with my katana.

"Foolish Human, my Blood Demon Art manipulates your memories, not your physical form."

The attack went past my defensive attack and struck my hand. "Giyu cover me!" I felt myself get dizzy and I held back the urge to faint. They really need to give us more information on these demons...

"Water Breathing-"

"Good try buddy, but if you kill me while she's in that state of conscious, her memories would forever stay altered." My brother hesitated for a bit.

"What did you do to her?!" I heard my brother scream and he cut the demon's limbs off

I felt excruciating pain in my brain, which made me drop my katana and hold my head with both hands. I saw the demon jump above me and try to land an attack. But I rolled over and punched the demon unconscious. 

"What a weak demon...but he could cause so much damage, wait, what's a demon?" I saw another person with blue eyes and black hair approach me.

★Giyu's POV ★

"Um, who are you...a creep?" I see the Demon Art is getting to her. 

I sighed, "What should I do? I can't kill the demon."

A memory came back to me of Y/N saying something similar to a situation like this.

"Nii-san you know, if anything happens and I'm in the way of you finishing off a demon.....I need you to be strong and kill it anyway."

I shook my head and refused to keep her like this, I...I can't let her live that way.

"Um sir? You've been out of It for like five minutes." I put on a blank expression and looked the other way. She still has the same personality. 

"Y/N do you remember me? Anyone? Tokito-kun...Kanroji-san....Kocho-san, Kamado-kun?"

I saw her shake her head and my stress levels skyrocketed. Ah shit what am I gonna do? 

The demon rose its head up, coming out of his knocked-out state. I hit it with the hilt of my katana and it went back to sleep. Weak ass.

"I'm sorry Y/N but you're going to sleep for a bit okay?" I gave her a reassuring look.

"Okay...wait what-" I hit her in the neck and rolled her over to a nearby tree, making her rest on it. 

"Kanzaboru report this situation to Kocho-san, I may need backup..." 

"CAW CAW OF COURSE TOMIOKA-SAMA!" The old crow flew from my arms and up in the sky, disappearing from my sight. 

I then grabbed the demon to slap him awake, it seemed to work because the demon jumped back away from my grip.

"You're going to undo your Blood Demon Art" I said while pointing my katana in his direction. 

"You think I'll listen to a loser like you? Please." Anger rushed through my veins and I stabbed the Demon in his chest, "Fuck you." 

I continued to chop him up into pieces, avoiding his head for obvious reasons. "You're lucky her boyfriend isn't here, he wouldn't show any mercy," I smirked a little as my sword clashed with his arms. 

"Hi~ Tomioka-san~" The sudden voice from Kocho made my footwork messy and the demon scratched my face. Because of that, I knocked it out once more. 

"Can you help her?" I kept an uninterested look on my face and glanced at my sister lying on the tree. 

"Of course I can~ I can't let your only friend forget you." I saw her snicker and jump toward Y/N

"Oh wait she did already hahaha."

"Just do it already," I scoffed and looked the other way. 

I saw Y/N wake up and Kocho was right in front of her face. "Hi Y/N," I was leaning against the tree seeing the both of them interact.

"I'm just gonna..." I witnessed Kocho shove a pill in Y/N's mouth, and Y/N's attempt to spit it out. But she was held down by Kocho.

No warning or anything...The thought of that made a shiver go down my spine.

"Now Y/N you're gonna go to sleep for a little while again okay?" Shinobu smiled at Y/N causing me to stare. 

"What's with you creeps wanting me to slee-....." Y/N was knocked out cold.

"That pill had Wisteria Poison in it, a small dose so the effects can wear off." Kocho smiled at me. 

★Y/N's POV ★

My eyes opened and I was in a dark room with I'm guessing my own memories plastered on the walls. 

I touched one of the images and I felt a rush of wind hit my face. The memory was of my past, something I wanted to forget. 

I walked to another one of the memories and did the same action as the other one. I wonder what this one will be about.

The memory came back to me, its rightful owner, and it was of Muichiro and I pranking Sanemi, well it was my idea he just followed along. 

I laughed at the memory and I was about to see another one, but that's when I felt a tug on my arm. I turned around facing the person who stopped me.

"You're so big now..." I looked at the person who was talking and it was my own sister. She looked the same, had the same clothing, and looks exactly as the pictures portrayed her. 

"Tsutako? You're alive?" She smiled at me and shook her head, "You need to wake up, please for your sister?" (Little Tanjiro moment here).

 Loud gasps came out of my mouth, and I tried to steady my breath. I looked around, seeing the two faces looking at me. My memories...I smiled at the fact that I had regained my memories, reliving some of them as well. 

"So you woke up Y/n-chan~ That's good." She smiled at me caressing my cheek. 

"How is that possible? You're a witch!" I saw the demon from the corner waking up. That demon I swear is gonna suffer.

My brother was about to attack it but Shinobu intervened speaking, "Let me make sure he has a slow, painful, death." Her smile shifted from me to the demon taking out her unique-looking katana. 

"Let's start shall we," I couldn't read her movements since she was moving too fast for the human eye to see. But she jumped up and jabbed the demon in five different spots.

I got a glimpse of the demon melting away before my brother covered my eyes from the horrifying sight.

"You don't have to cover my eyes Nii-san, I've seen worse from Shinobu-san," I laughed remembering the time Shinobu struck her opponent right in the neck causing vomit to come out...ew why do I remember the details so descriptively. 

I pushed his hand aside and used him as a support to get up. I just wanna get home already...

★ Time Skip ★

I parted ways with Shinobu and my brother and I saw someone walking around my private garden.

"Oh hello there, are you lost?" His head turned to me and I saw that he had a scar across his face similar to Sanemi's. 

"You're that guy's brother aren't you...such similar features," I placed my hand on his shoulder and I saw his cheeks turn a bit pink.

"Yes I am, Ice Pillar Y/N Tomioka." Such formalities. He did a 90-degree bow and lowered his head.

"Hey stand up, no need to be so formal, plus you're older than me~" I patted his back giving him the 'okay' to stand up.

"My apologies, my name is Genya Shinazugawa, and I hope to become a great Hashira like you and my brother someday!" 

My hands went on my mouth and I gasped a little, "You mean I inspire you?!" Small happy noises came out of my mouth and I jumped a little in place. My first admirer. 

"GENYA! DON'T BOTHER TOMIOKA-CHAN!" Sanemi pushed Genya to the ground and a thud could be heard from this.

"I told you I don't want you training under any Hashira!" I side-eyed him, giving him a 'are you crazy' look. 

"Hey don't fight in my garden I just planted these flowers a week ago..." I glanced at Sanemi. More like I don't want a hurricane to happen in my garden.

"Yea yea whatever, you don't want him to train blah blah, I'll escort him back to the Butterfly Mansion okay Shinazugawa-san?"

He spit on one of my flower bushes and I glared at him, he's just mad, well STAY MAD.

Sanemi left and I smiled at Genya. "I just needed him to go away, so how would you like to train under me? Even though you don't have a breathing style I'm sure I can train you well with your sword techniques."

The shocked expression on his face made me grin, "But my brother-"

"Shush shush he won't know, and if he does find out...uh imma take a run for it and you hide," I tremble a bit at the thought.

"Don't worry under my training you'll sure surpass your brother! Also, don't tell Muichiro 'cause he gets jealous way too easily." I laughed a little at the sight of a jealous Muichiro.

He nodded his head and I saw a look of hope in his eyes. "Thank you Tomioka-sama," he once again did his 90-degree bow. 

I smiled at him and urged him to go back to the butterfly estate to get a good rest, "Your training starts tomorrow~"

He nodded his head and went away~ This is gonna be fun hehe.

Hey~ I'm on my vacation tmr but dw I have a surprise for you guys in the middle of the week. I won't leave u guys hanging for a week~
