Demons weren’t the only cruel and vile creatures in Japan. There were also the wealthy and influential families selling their daughters off to anyone who could increase their wealth after years of abuse. Well— just recently ubuyashiki has discovered from a connection of his that a young maiden from a wealthy family has been put up for marriage with a dangerous demon disguised as human. He thought about buying you off himself and freeing you from that fate, to train you to become a demon slayer and increase their core.

But like the wise man he was, he thought of a better idea. He’s always thought sanemi could use a companion in his life to easen the past traumas and anger rooted deep in his heart. He knew whatever he asked of sanemi— he wouldn’t refuse. So, he called sanemi to headquarters. “Oyakata-sama, you called?” Sanemi bowed.

Ubuyashiki, though blind, kept his gaze on sanemi. “Sanemi, i have a great deal to ask of you. I hope you keep an open heart and listen to what i have to ask.” He explained your situation and requested that you and sanemi be arranged into marriage so legally, he would be able to save you. Saying that sanemi was the most eligible of the hashiras to take on this task.

As predicted, sanemi agreed. Though it was against his will, he couldn’t refuse his master. Nor could he stomach the thought of what your family has done to you over the years. That same day, amane went to visit your estate and paid off your family to take you. For a while they oriented you on the truth about the demon slayer core and the reason as to why they took you in. Afterwards you were brought to the wind pillar’s estate.

You were a bit afraid. Thinking your husband to be would be scary or brash. Maybe abusive like your family. But as you entered the grounds you found a man with while hair holding flowers over his shoulder. Was this the wind pillar..? You called out to him shyly. “S-shinazugawa-sama?”

He turned to look at you. You looked frail. “Who dropped you off?” He approached you. You took a step back instinctively. A bit afraid of him. “A woman with white hair took me here.. she said you were my husband to be..?”

Sanemi realized you were afraid of him and this entire set up. He sighed. No one could expect that on a random day he’d get married because oyakata-sama had requested it. He owed ubuyashiki the life he had now and he knew he had to treat you differently unless he wanted you to run off and disappoint his master.
