What would happen in an AU where (Y/N) is diagnosed with Xeroderma Pigmentosum? What are the changes that our protagonist has to make in her life to adapt to her profound illness? How would the other characters react? Allow Author to explore the different possibilities in this 50K Special!

–––•°✩°•–––

You may be surprised by how quickly (Y/N) was to accept the fact that she has to hide in the sun. When the doctors broke the news to her, the female felt nothing. She didn't cry or got upset, she was simply surprised. That feeling quickly disappeared as she thought of the amendments she had to make to her daily routine to prevent any unnecessary burns.

Firstly, the girl went to the supermarket and spent her life savings on bottles and bottles of sunscreen, a cloak, sunglasses, and a large hat.

After she reached home, she quickly barricaded her windows with thick curtains and kept the stuff she had bought.

The next day, (Y/N) went to school to inform them of her health report in which the principal quickly transferred her to another block, where the Twelve Kizukis were.

"Life is pretty chill." The female had said. "Although I had to take extra measures to make sure my skin never comes in contact with the sun, it was still alright. I just need to put on my cloak, sunglasses, and hat and apply sunscreen whenever I go out. Just in case I forget, I taped a note onto my front door to remind me."

You can imagine the shock on each member of the Twelve Kizukis' faces when Muzan announced (Y/N)'s arrival at their dorm.

"She was diagnosed with Xeroderma Pigmentosum as well." He had said. "Therefore the school transferred her here."

There was a lot of chattering among the students as they talked about (Y/N). Muzan shushed them and then continued.

"To make her feel welcomed, I would like to ask all of you here to help out in making a welcome ceremony that would warm (Y/N)'s heart." Muzan's tone was absolute and passionate which drew the students' attention and willingness to help. Muzan then spent the next ten minutes or so explaining his plan and assigning duties to each individual. The Twelve Kizukis were all fired up and got to work immediately after Muzan dismissed them. Muzan was proud of his teammates and looked at the way they were scurrying around with pride as if they were the children that he raised. Kokushibou also noticed a hint of excitement on Muzan's face when he was overseeing the preparations. This delighted the male for he is glad that his Lord is becoming happier day by day.

"You dumbass! You're supposed to measure the amount of flour before pouring the entire packet into the bowl! Now we have to remake the cake!" Daki shouted as she snatched the bowl with the ruined batter from Douma's hands. The male seemed upset and wanted to retort to the female's statement but he knew he can't. Douma did make a mistake but he was still salty about being insulted by Daki because of that.

'Stupid woman... Only scolding me like this because her beloved (Y/N) is coming...' Douma thought as Daki and Gyuutarou frantically measured the ingredients before dumping them all into a new bowl.

"Don't just stand there! Help us mix the batter!" Daki instructed, shoving the bowl and a whisk into his hands.

"Aye aye, captain..." Douma said and got to work. The anger from Daki's insult and the excitement from (Y/N) arrival served as fuel to motivate Douma to work harder.

"Sister, you're pretty good at decorating the cake, huh?" Gyuutarou commented as Daki applied whipped cream onto the cake and spread it evenly before making little flower designs using the green, pink, purple, blue, yellow and white coloured icings. The female carefully wrote the sentence: 'Welcome (Y/N)!' in the middle of the cake using red icing. Only after Daki had finished her masterpiece did she graciously reply to her brother's compliment.

"What can I say? My talents truly shine whenever it's about (Y/N)."

Akaza and Hantengu were busy setting the table and putting up decorations. The once dull room was instantly transformed with vibrant balloons and ribbons. The table was also dressed up. A dark red cloth was pulled over the table. The utensils and plates and wine glasses were also distributed evenly to each seat. Akaza even placed Gyokko in the centre of the table.

"Remember to show your most amazing pot design and grow a magnificent plant or else I'll lock you up in the storage room where your art will never be seen." Akaza threatened. Gyokko had no choice but to obey.

"Oi! Hantengu! Don't think I didn't notice you attempting to steal those balloons!" Akaza yelled, chasing the poor guy around.

Nakime was leading the Twelve Kizuki's orchestra to play melodious classical tunes. Conductor Nakime waved her baton around the air gracefully, guiding the lower moons to play the pieces in sync.

"Very well done everyone! Make sure to keep up the attitude and focus when (Y/N) arrives."

"Yes, Nakime!"

You should be able to tell that this breaking news came as a shock to the Demon Slayers. Ubuyashiki was trembling when Amane told him about the news. The rest of the Demon Slayers were also in disbelief but they could not do anything about it.

"...Whatever may happen, (Y/N) is still important to all of us. It doesn't matter if she has Xeroderma Pigmentosum, she is still the same (Y/N) we know. We should still treat her the same as before and offer her help when she needs it." Ubuyashiki said, trying to sound positive. The rest of the Demon Slayers agreed. 

"Now then, shall we put together a gift for (Y/N) to remind her that no matter what happens, we will always support her?" Ubuyashiki suggested. This livens up the mood as the teammates were quick to discuss what they should do. Gyomei shushed them.

"I'm thinking of putting together a bouquet that contains fragments of each of us." Ubuyashiki began. "Each person shall make a flower that represents the person. This flower can contain pictures, videotapes, small gifts, letters, and even sweets. Once we're all done, let's combine our pieces to make a bouquet." This idea was pretty unique and soon, everyone was on board. Yes, this includes Sanemi and Obanai.

Shinobu's flower was purple and the design was that of a butterfly's wings. The centre of this piece contained herbs that help relieve stress along with a note. Since Shinobu grew up in a family which excels in medicine, Shinobu took some high-quality herbs from her family's company.

Mitsuri's flower was pink and the tips of the petals were shaped like a heart. Mitsuri chucked a few sweets and a note into the centre of the flower. Mitsuri had baked a couple of pastries and wanted to visit (Y/N) to gift her the desserts she had made.

Rengoku's flower was orange and the centre contained a two-pages letter that had to be folded to fit. Initially, his letter was nearly five pages long but considering the limited space he had, he reduced it to merely two pages.

Giyu's flower was blue and bore a keychain of your favourite anime character. The poor boy didn't know what else to get you.

Muichiro's flower was teal and a bracelet was stored carefully within the flower's petals. You two are in the same class after all, he wanted to show his other classmates that the two of you had matching bracelets. Yes, he bought matching bracelets for the two of you.

Gyomei's flower was grey and only a note with a smiley face was attached to the centre. Gyomei wasn't expressive with his feelings so he only drew what he felt when he was around (Y/N) on the note.

Sanemi's flower was white with a miniature cat plushie. Kanae had given him the idea and took the time to make the plushie with him.

Obanai's flower was black and contained a freaking ring. The ring was the design of a snake to symbolize Kaburamaru. Sweet, right?

Uzui's flower was a literal rose with a supposed love letter attached to its stem. Bro wanted to be flashy so he chose a living flower instead of buying a fake one. 'My love for her is real, thus I chose a real plant!' That was what he had said.

Once everyone was done, Ubuyashiki brought some silver paper and a white ribbon. Amane aided him in arranging the flowers together and securing them using the ribbon. Once it is completed, Ubuyashiki asked Tanjiro to help deliver the bouquet to (Y/N). The benevolent boy agreed immediately.

That's all for now! This was a bit rushed since I wanted to do a 50k Special but didn't have an idea as to how I wanted to do this. Inspiration only struck yesterday evening so I had to speed-type everything to make it on time. Yesterday was my friend's birthday so I celebrated it with her and while we were going back home, I noticed 49.9k views on this fanfic thus I began to panic and force my brain juice to think of something.

Thank you everyone for your support for this random fanfic that I just decided to write out of nowhere. All of you turned this random work into something I am motivated to work on and finish. I'm someone who never finishes what I started but seeing how this fanfic has grown, I dedicated some time to writing an actual plot for this. Just a heads up, this fanfic will probably be over 100 chapters because of the content I want to put into this. For those of you who are wondering, yes there will be an ending to this fanfic. I wrote this fanfic with the plan of giving it an ending from the very start. Although I'm not sure what it's going to be yet. Don't worry! I intend to write a happy ending for all the characters and since this is a KnY X (Y/N) fanfic, there will be romantic interactions, but I don't plan to let (Y/N) get together with any of the characters so that my dear Readers can imagine (Y/N) with the character you desire! I mean, if I did get (Y/N) together with one of the characters, there will bound to be people who are not pleased because that character may not be the one they want to romance. That's why I decided to give all of you the freedom to imagine. Once I've finished this fanfic, I also intend to write an epilogue to conclude this fanfic. It's kind of sad when I think about how this story will end soon but all good things in life come to an end, and as the writer, I have my duty to finish this fanfic.

I believe this is also the first time that I got to talk to you, my dear readers. (Other than the comments section and Taishou Secrets) It's great to finally have a chance to communicate with all of you! I also want to share some of my views on my work.

This fanfic only started because of another work of mine. When I first began writing on Wattpad (that was nearly 3 years ago lol), I wrote a Reader X Giyu fanfic in the anime's original AU. However, while I was working on that, I stumbled upon one of my current favourite Wattpad writer's works, known as "Bloodlust" by RealityPhantom. (albeit now she's inactive and has quit Wattpad, her stories are all still marvellous!) The story was so well written that I cried for three days straight. Because of the emotional rollercoaster this fanfic made me go through, I decided to stop my first fanfic since it was far too heartbreaking for me to finish it. I did feel a bit of pity since it was my first work, but the writing is childish and cringe and the plot was all over the place. Thus, I unpublished that fanfic and rewrote the entire story in a Historical AU. And that is how I got to write a new fanfic! (this one) I felt bad so I decided to write another KnY fanfic, except in the Modern AU so that there will be no bloodshed and tears (maybe?)

That's all for this 50k Special chapter! Thank you all for your support and I'll continue to work on the work (albeit it may take a while-)
