Tanjiro Kamado
In the midst of the destruction you're in, you're somehow alive. Your comrades are nowhere in sight, and you feel warm blood pooling around you
Something in you feels like it's burning, and you manage claw out of the rubble, your sword being used as support to stand up
You see the upper moon advancing towards a kneeling Tanjiro, and you freeze. You can only watch as Tanjiro hits the upper moon with a kunai and pins him down with his sword.
The burning in your lungs, spreading to your limbs, spurring on your hands to tighten around your sword snaps you out of your trance and you move without thinking
Tanjiro sees you rush forward, your hoarse voice calling out "Flame Breathing, First Form: Unknowing Fire" Your sword hits Tanjiro's and he sees a spark of red before his sword digs even deeper into the upper moon's neck
That is, before the demon's blood art pushes the both of you back, and you two have to deflect the blood blades that are increasing in attack speed.
Kyojuro Rengoku
The mugen train was much more precarious than expected, you slept while one of the train demon's minions entered your subconscious, attempting to shatter your spiritual core
As a hashira your self preservation instinct was strong, leaving your body to trap the minion within a headlock, squeezing down to block airflow
You finally woke up in the chaos of the transformed train, watching as flesh tentacles inched towards innocent passengers. In an instant you went to work
Your sword cleaved through flesh as you met up in the middle of the train with Rengoku and your junior, Tanjiro.
Both you and Rengoku agreed on you defending the front four cars with him guarding the back 4, and as soon as he said that he went back in a flurry of flames
Both you and Tanjiro made it to the train's engine room, you stayed behind to keep the passengers safe, and when you heard the demon screech when it was decapitated you knew he succeeded
And now you had to make sure the passengers were safe from the oncoming derailment of the train
Tengen Uzui
You were the only one of Tengen's spouses to actually be a demon slayer, a high ranked one at that
When the time came to infiltrate the Red Light district you, Makio, Suma, and Hinatsuru volunteered
You hadn't run into trouble yet, your reports to your husband finding their way to him. You've haven't heard from one of his wives and that's what worried you
You've heard rumors of a certain house, with a certain Oiran, before you could do anything though, your torso was wrapped with a pink obi and you were tangled in it, forced into a temporary slumber.
You wake up to see a boar headed boy attacking the wiggling obi, Suma and Makio are awake too. The muscle mice bring out your blade and you start tearing at the web of that pink obi, careful to not cut any of the women still trapped inside
You hear a large boom coming from above the cavern and you smile, your husband's here.
