What My OCs Think about Hinami & Hiromi || Kaise, Hotaru, & Ryuu
Hinami
Kaise: “Hina is like my little sister! I love her to pieces and would do anything for her... I even call her ‘My Little Hanabi-chan’ [firework] sometimes.”
Hotaru: “sis loves her so I do too, although she doesn’t really seem talkative, but thats ok!”
Ryuu: “shes annoying but sometimes in a good way so...”
Hiromi
Kaise: “Hiromi-chan is so nice! I don’t even know how she managed to tame Shinazugawa though...”
Hotaru: “future sister in law! Whether that’s about my brother or our lovers.. well... we have a bet going.”
Ryuu: “shes nice to me. Defended me in front of some dickhead slayers too. I like her.”
My newest kny baby! Shes a cutie :)
Name: Ryū
Name meaning: 龍 / “Dragon”
Height: 164cm
Age: 15
Birthday: April 27
Backstory: Born blind, Ryū was deemed too much of a nuisance to raise, more or less being neglected until age 4. After her father passed, she was abandoned at the steps of a temple by her mother. She was raised along with 9 other children by a blind man until a demon descended upon them one night. Afterwards, she lived among the demon slayer corps and even became particularly enamored by the kasugai crows, even helping train them.
Extra: Ryū has her own crow (actually a magpie) named Tarō who’s kinda like a guide dog, except of course he’s a bird lol
Extra Extra: part of a love triangle with @brinthie ‘s babey for Mui’s affection but more or less ends up with Senjurou :)
Here’s the first Kaise x Giyuu drabble I’ve done..! Honestly I love them sm haha might do her sis Hotaru and my beb Genya next idk... I promise x readers coming soon (>~<)
When a Blizzard Hits || Oc x Giyuu
With every step, the snow underfoot turned crimson. Every warm drop of blood created it’s own cavern, melting the snow away. The girl whose blood mingled with the snow staggered, her knees buckling and her legs eventually giving out beneath her.
Her hands collided with the frost in attempt to catch herself. The cold stung against her supple skin.
That’s all she could remember before her vision turned hazy and everything went dark.

The woman woke in a dark room on a less-than-comfortable futon. Her whole body ached from exhaustion, pangs of protest shot through her when she tried to sit up. The room was empty and cold.
How did she get here?
A soft creak from one side of the room caught the girl’s attention, causing her gaze to quickly flit to the source. A face meekly peaked from the crack in the door. She recognized the black wisps of hair falling messily from his shoulders.
“Kaise?” The man murmured, breaking the silence in the quaint room.
His footfalls were virtually silent, though he sauntered to the woman’s side with purpose.
“Giyuu!” She croaked joyfully “what happened? Last I remember I had killed the demon...”
“I found you passed out in the snow. you were wounded pretty bad... The weather wouldn’t permit me to get much farther than here.” He explained
The room fell silent again, Kaise mulling over the words in her head. He had found her and carried her here... and her wounds—
The ombre haired woman’s hand darted to her side where she had sustained a nasty gash, only to be greeted by layers of bandages over the torn skin. Giyuu’s eyes followed her curiously, but he didn’t say a word. The bandages were placed haphazardly at best, likely from Giyuu patching her up himself.
The woman let herself lightly flop down onto the futon beneath her. She stole the occasional glance at the man before she spoke again.
“So, the weather must be bad. I can feel the chill right into my bones” she exclaimed, feigning a shiver for emphasis
The man nodded while shirking his Haori off his shoulders.
“It’s snowing heavily. People are saying it’s going to be a blizzard.” He replied, wrapping the petite girl in his clothes
She blushed at his gesture, pulling the cloth close while simultaneously admiring his figure. She had never seen him without the mismatched fabric draped over his shoulders. He looked.... nice.
“Giyuu?”
“Hm?”
“Are you cold?”
The man’s ocean blue eyes wandered before resting on Kaise’s own turquoise ones. Mischief glimmered in her eyes, though he didn’t recognize it as such. He only held the contact for so long before drooping to the floor coyly.
“A bit, but I don’t mind it. I know you get cold easier, Kaise.”
The Water Hashira’s words made Kaise’s heart flutter in her chest. She had never outright told him such a thing, yet he knew anyways. A blush warmed her cheeks before she could manage to think up a good reply. Instead, the woman sputtered “why don’t you get under the covers with me?”
Both of the tiny room’s occupants flushed a bright red, a shade akin to the blood Kaise had spilled in the snow earlier.
Giyuu made attempts to cover his face with his hands. He averted his gaze, though it occasionally flickered back to the woman. Kaise, however, made much less graceful attempt at hiding her blush. She buried her face deep into her pillow and refused to move.
Every second that passed felt like a silent eternity. How could she say something so stupid without thinking?
Suddenly, Kaise felt a light tug at the blankets that she gripped tight. Out of curiosity, she turned slightly to catch a glimpse of the origin, only to watch the raven haired figure slip under the covers next to her.
“Giyuu??” She breathed out, feeling the man tense up from her response
“Oh... I thought...” he mumbled, pulling away
Kaise quickly grabbed the man’s wrist that held the blankets, pulling him back.
“No, no..!” She protested, nestling closer to him “you’re just letting the cold air under the covers, thats all.”
Giyuu stayed silent, processing that Kaise wasn’t actually averse to him being under the covers with her. Her light grip tugged him down a bit more, causing him to realize he was still letting the warmth from under the blankets escape. He hastily pulled the blankets up as he settled in, though unsure what exactly to do with his arms and hands.
Kaise has shifted now, rolling over on her side so they faced each other. Measly inches away, neither could think clearly over the drowning sound of their hearts pounding relentlessly.
Giyuu couldn’t bring himself to look at Kaise, but he didn’t close his eyes either. He felt her staring intently at him, so he didn’t think it right to pretend to doze off.
The man felt the covers shift before icey fingers grazed past his skin. It sent a chill down his spine, though he actually didn’t mind the contact. His confused gaze finally met Kaise’s.
The girl realized her movements after acting without thought, now flustered and sputtering “sorry.. your hair was in your face... I thought I should move it.. to... y’know... see you better.”
The room fell silent once more. The wind howled outside, tree branches crashing together, and thus the slayers knew snow must be falling as well. Kaise hid her pink tinged cheeks by ducking in closer to Giyuu’s chest. The way their bodies fell together naturally had Giyuu wrapping his arms around the girl, though he was too nervous to actually pull her close.
“Giyuu...” Kaise mumbled eventually from her place snuggled against him.
Giyuu met her call with a soft “hm”, prompting her to continue.
The girl lifted her head to look up at the boy. She felt her heart flutter, suddenly worrying that he might feel it too. This was the closest they had ever been, albeit mostly due to the cold weather, but the idea still made Kaise’s head spin.
The girl knew exactly what she wanted to ask, but the words wouldn’t come to her. Even after thinking through the sentence to make sure it was coherent, the words refused to leave her lips. Giyuu felt her grip tense around his uniform. Watching her duck away and hide her face once more, his brows knit together in silent concert. Kaise rested her head into his chest before letting out a soft whimper of frustration.
Giyuu finally touched Kaise, wrapping his arms around her and holding her back in a soothing manner. The action had the girl’s heart stir wildly and the grip on his uniform tightened. The man was much more concerned now, but didn’t voice any of it
She just couldn’t say it.

Kaise blinked her bleary eyes open, her sight fuzzy until adjusting to the morning light.
She fell asleep the previous night with the indisputable weight and warmth of another person beside her, it was the only way she could sleep well, but the futon was all but empty now.
Kaise reached her arms out, fumbling about the blankets as she sat up to find out where her comrade went. Her gaze quickly shifted downwards, noticing a mess of limbs and messy raven hair.
So Giyuu fell off the futon...
Stepping onto the cold hardwood floor, Kaise pattered lightly towards the man on the floor. She bent over him, careful to keep her loose hair from tickling him awake. He looked peaceful.
With every passing moment, she seemed to inch closer, as if he were a giant magnet and her whole body were made of metal. Her cheeks flushed, the heat even reaching her ears.
His face looked so... soft. No stoic look held across his features. No hidden sadness in his eyes. Just the occasional sleepy groan.
Kaise couldn’t help but want to touch him. To stroke his soft hair again. She didn’t get enough of it last night before the two turned away from each other and fell asleep. She craved more.
Her arm outstretched on its own, shakily yet surely. Where to, though? To caress his cheek and hold his face in her hands? To twirl her fingers through his dark locks? Maybe even interlock her fingers with his.
That’s when cornflower blue eyes met her aqua ones.
It took a moment for Kaise to realize her actions. Giyuu was staring down her outstretched arm, confused. She darted backwards, flustered.
“S-sorry... Giyuu-kun...” she mumbled through her clothes after having yanked them upwards to hide her bright red face.
