It was during a mission, when the heat of the flames illuminated the dark path of your destiny. In the middle of a village threatened by demons, the fiery figure of Kyojuro appeared, his katana glowing with the brilliance of his conviction. You had shown a bravery and skill that did not go unnoticed by him. From that moment on, something in his gaze changed.

At first, it was all admiration. Between fights and nights of recovery, Kyojuro began to seek your company. You shared stories around the campfire, and your laughter lit a spark that went beyond camaraderie. Your spirit seemed as indomitable as the flames he revered, and without realizing it, you began to occupy a special place in his heart.

Over time, that admiration transformed into something deeper, something that Kyojuro was not able to recognize immediately. Your image accompanied him even in moments of calm: when training, when meditating, even when contemplating the sunrise. But what challenged him most was the way his chest tightened when you spoke of someone else. They weren't like him, they weren't worthy of your attention. This new, unfamiliar feeling made him uneasy and filled him with doubt. Was this love?

Kyojuro, always so sure, now found himself caught between the fire of his emotions and the duty he carried as a demon hunter. Every time he saw you, he wished for a world where you could be by his side, a world where your laughter, your strength, and your spirit could burn alongside his. But what he feared most wasn't your rejection. It was not being enough.

Because, for the first time, Kyojuro Rengoku, the Pillar of Flame, wondered if his fire was warm enough to sustain your heart. But deep in his soul he knew that, if you ever let him, he would show you that there is no love more pure and ardent than his. Because, in his heart, you were always his brightest flame.
