May i have an angsty kyojuro x fairy which can take a human form? Something like that fairy helped him out to train during his childhood days, and after kyo became a slayer, she decided to only watch him from afar. Then on the train arc, she showed up again to save kyo. Sorry for such a request. Thank u!
Oh my god thank you! This was such a cool request and interesting to write! I'm sorry for the wait, I hope you enjoy!💙🌌
For his whole life, Rengoku had felt like someone was watching him, always there, never leaving him alone. At first, it made the shivers go down his spine, unnerving feeling of being watched being the only thing in his mind for years, as he did not know if the someone watching him wanted to distract or protect him, but eventually, he had gotten used to it.
Now, he found comfort from it. Like he never was truly alone. People came and went, but never once, the feeling that someone was with him, taking care of him, left his mind. At times, when he had hit the bottom, you were there to comfort with your voiceless presence, and at times when he had reached the top, you were there to celebrate it with him. He was embarrassed to admit it, but he had picked a habit of talking to himself, thinking that maybe, perhaps, it wasn't just his imagination, and someone was actually there, listening him to give away the burden from his heart.
Of course he did not tell others, they would have thought that he had gone crazy, but he knew that other pillars had picked similar habits too to cope with the pain and burden the title of a pillar carried with. Obanai talked to his snake, Muichiro to the sky, but no one to others as it was too heavy burden to be told. Everyone knew, but no one mentioned it.
At times, when Rengoku would wake up, he'd see a girl from his dreams in the corner of his room, as by a blink of an eye, she would disappear. Those happened seldomly, and as time passed, it happened even more rarely.
He was not scared, instead, he found himself feeling rather longing, as if he was missing something, or if he had forgotten something. He could not just remember what.
He mostly brushed it off, and after few days, he would always forget it as if it had never even happened. He kept on being enthuastic, never stopped smiling, an advice he had heard from someone very important to him, as he shone in the top of the demon slayer corps, doing what he felt was right to do. Protecting the weak was his duty. That was the eay things were, until that one faithful day.
You watched Kyojuro fight with the upper demon moon, plenty of tears running down your tiny cheeks, as you let out a loud cry. You were praying, to whatever gods there were, for Kyojuro to win, as you felt your heart pound in your chest, painfully breaking everytime you saw Kyojuro getting hit, like a knife twisting in your chest. You felt like you couldn't breath, like there was a heavy rock on your chest, slowly bringing you down, as you were watching him from afar, as you had promised to yourself.
You had promised not to bother him, to leave his life once and for all, as he was better off without you. Without someone to just make his life more complicated than it already was. But you did not know how much longer you could keep that promise, as you could not just sit and watch him, your love, the one you had trained, to get painfully beaten up to his death. You were not supposed to be seen, nor heard, it was against the rules, and you had already broken them for showing yourself to him and training him, but you did not want to follow the rules, if they were to hurt someone innocent, if they were the wrong thing to follow.
You had been given one chance to fix your mistakes, and you threw that chance away, when you saw Kyojuro getting punched through his stomach. You let out a painful scream, grief pouring out of your parted lips with an abrupt sobs, your hand reaching for the one and only man you've ever loved. Without a single doubt, you let your body grow, your muscles growing, and your body transforming the one of a young woman, instead of the small one. Your wings slowly disappeared from your back, falling apart in the air by the wind, as you let out a gasp, not having done the transformation in years.
You quickly raised your gaze, your skin gleaming in the sunrise, as you saw the demon running away, and Kyojuro falling, his body forcefully hitting the train. You cried, jolting up from your disheveled heap, stumbling with your feet as you had not gotten used to being so big, as you ran to your beloved one, seeing the life slowly drain out of him, as he was talking with the boy with a scar on his forehead.
"Kyojuro!!" You let out a painful cry from top of your lungs, as you forcefully pushed the boy away, grabbing Kyojuro's hand and putting it on your cheek. The boy was alarmed, ready to draw out his blade, but when he picked up the scent, he was shocked to notice that it was the one, that had hovered around Kyojuro everytime Tanjiro was near. He did not know what to do. He wanted to push you away, but after smelling the storm of dozens of emotions inside you, he decided to stay far, and watch what was about to happen.
"Kyojuro.." You once again cried out, your voice more quiet, almost like a whisper, now pressing your forehead against his, his hand still pressed against your cheek by your hand, as the flame pillar's hazy eyes focused on you, and his eyes widened.
"I.. I thought you were just a dream..!" He weakly shouted, breaking into a fits of bloody coughs, the memories of you now flooding in his mind with such an intense force, that he was taken back of how he was even able to forget. You shook your head, your hot tears falling down on his face, as you bit your lip.
"No.. I was always here.. I had to.. I couldn't-", You started slowly letting his hand fall down to his side, trying to talk in the middle of your sobs, as you parted afar from him once again, ripping his uniform apart, and gently hovering your hands over his bloody skin. You flinched at the wound when you saw it, the tears falling from your eyes with much more force than before.
"I couldn't leave you.. Not now.. Or never. Please, just as I told you to.. Please never stop smiling-", You finished, taking in a shaky inhale, and pressing your hands against the wound, letting out a whimper as Kyojuro grunted in pain underneath you. You needed to focus, as you closed your eyes, starting to whisper a spell that you knew by your heart. You didn't care if the fairies wouldn't take you back. You'd throw away your faith, just to keep him safe, he was everything you'd ever had after all. And after all these years, you wanted to live, not just survive. You knew what you were fighting for, and you were ready to give your life for it.
Tanjiro watched as your hands started to glow, the light illuminating on your face, the color of Kyojuro's skin coming back, as the color drained away from your cheeks. You were maniacally muttering incoherent words underneath your breath, your eyes closed, as it looked like a life was sucked out of you by every word.
"No..! You are killing yourself!" Tanjiro realized and let out a shout, but you did not stop, as you flashed a reassuring smile at him whilst repeating the string of unknown words.
After a while, the glow slowly disappeared, leaving your hands burning from the power of the spell. Your eyes rolled upwards as you fell flat next to Kyojuro, losing your conciousness, and the vision of yours turning black. With a last breath you took, you felt like a heavy burden had been lifted off from your shoulders, as you knew you had done it. You had save the one you love.
Rengoku walked in circles in front of Shinobu's butterfly estate's infirmary, his face in his hands, as the thoughts were running through his head. It had taken time, but he had finally connected the puzzle from the hazy flashbacks, and solved the mystery called Y/N L/N.
Currently, he was waiting for Shinobu to come out and give him her report, as you had not awoken since that day. You had been immediately brought to Shinobu after the train incident, but Shinobu, being as surprised herself had no idea who- or what, you were. She could only tell that you were still breathing, your heart still beating in your chest, but no other signs of you being alive had been given. Shinobu was afraid that you had fallen into coma.
Rengoku was brought out of his thoughts as there was a sudden thud heard and several glass bottles falling, breaking at the very moment they reached the hard ground. A string of curse words and yelling could be heard, and Rengoku immediately sprunt to the door, swinging it open with a force.
What he saw, left him speechless.
You were laying on the ground, next to the bed in the middle of glass shards, with panicked look in your eyes, as you were looking around the room with prey-like eyes, trying to get away from Shinobu who was trying to calm you down. You were repeating "I can't transform", over and over again, as you seemed to have trouble with breathing. That was, until your eyes landed on Rengoku. You let out a gasp, jolting up from the pile of glass shards, not caring that you were bleeding, as Shinobu raised her gaze to look at Rengoku as well.
You wanted to run, you wanted to run and jump into his arms, be enveloped into his bear hug, but a seed of doubt grew in your mind, as you felt paralyzed. He did not even remember you.
"Y/N..", Rengoku let out a silent whisper almost as if fearing that you would disappear at any given moment, but you heard it. And hearing him to say your name, ever so gently, made you move.
You ran, you ran faster than ever in your life before, as Rengoku opened his arms, requesting you in a hug, which you gladly accepted. You let out a laugh mixed with cry, as your vision started to blur, as the hug felt so right. Oh, how you have been waiting for this moment, longing it with all your heart, as Rengoku let out a laugh, repeating your name this time with more confidence. He picked you up and twirled you around, pressing your forehead against his, his signature smile shown on his face. You cupped his cheeks.
"How did I forget you? How did I not remember?" He asked, and you smiled sadly at him.
"It's my fault.." You told and brushed his cheek with your thumb, and he leant on the touch.
"I removed your memories of me", You continued, feeling so overwhelmed by the fact that after years and years of waiting, you were finally coming back to your loved one.
"But don't worry", You started again.
"I won't ever leave you again"
