Taishō Era, 1912.

Kagaya was the new head of the Ubuyashiki clan. Though, the Ubuyashiki clan has a curse. The men that were born didn't make it to 20 because of an illness. So Kagaya had to take action before he also got more ill. He needed a wife, children.

There was this one clan of priests the Ubuyashiki clan picked wives from. And the only girl Kagaya's age, who also wasn't married, was you. And when Kagaya saw you..damn, you were cute. Like every other woman in your clan, you had long pretty, silky white hair, light purple eyes that shined like the stars. He was 13, and you 12. You weren't sure when you heard that Kagaya wanted to marry you. After all..what if he ended up to be a bad person? Though, as you met Kagaya..the only thing that young man radiated was kindness and love towards you. His gorgeous purple eyes matching with yours, how he looked into yours with a loving gaze. Even his smile..was so kind. So you couldn't disagree.

✧

As you got married with him, everything was fine. Kagaya was the kindest man ever. Never was harsh with you, never yelled at you. He was just..calm. And all that, also slowly made you lose your anxious and nervous self around others, instead, also being much calmer. Even when you called him "Kagaya-sama" because he was the leader of the corps, and out of respect, you never complained about having to call your own husband like that. You were probably the most loyal wife he could ask for.

Only if..none of this had to end.

✧

10 years passed with that. Kagaya was now 23, and you, 22. The two of you had 5 children in the meantime, quintuples. Kiriya, the only boy, and the rest all girls, Hinaki, Nichika, Kuina and Kanata. You absolutely loved all your children, treating them kindly and equally no matter what. Just as much as Kagaya did. He was the best father and husband, treating his own children he had with such a young age with so much love.

You knew Kagaya wasn't an average person. He was the head of the demon slayer corps, the man Muzan Kibutsuji, the demon king himself targeted. Even despite that, all you wanted was to live a peaceful life with your husband and children. Something that..would never happen.

✧

It was clear. Due to knowing the now weaknesses, Muzan Kibutsuji would surely come to Kagaya himself soon enough. Kagaya knew it. He had, since months. And that night, was tomorrow night. The night the demon king himself would come to kill him. Yet that's why, Kagaya made a whole plan. A genius one. There were materials that would explode everywhere around the big estate. So once Muzan would be there, the whole thing would explode. Kagaya would weaken Muzan, at least. He wanted to do it himself. But couldn't live, knowing the man you loved, the man that worshiped you would die, all alone. So you insisted. And your two eldest daughters also insisted. Hinaki and Nichika. Such brave children, even though they were both only 8. The woman he loved to death, and two of his dear children, also dying with him.

✧

This was your last night. Tomorrow, so the next night after this, Muzan would come. And you, Kagaya, Hinaki and Nichika would all die. So there you were now. In Kagaya's embrace on your futon, under the covers in the room you two shared, knowing this was the last time you two would cuddle in bed. He could see how sad you were. Not because you'd die. Because he would. And your two daughters. Kagaya knew what a wonderful mother you were. So he could understand. Your sadness, guilt, even though this was all because of him. Wanting to see you smile at him as he hugged you in bed like usual, even if for the last few times, gently tilting your gaze up to his. He had his usual calm smile despite the situation, keeping calm. So calm and loving. Just as always. Even though he wasn't inside. Kagaya had gotten a lot from his generational illness. Couldn't even get up without help. You already spent years dealing with him and your children. Five children which you had with 13. And now, you were even dying. For him.
