You and Giyuu have been best friends since you were both orphaned, and taken in by Urokodaki. You, Giyuu, and Sabito were the ultimate swordsman trio, and trained to be demon slayers. After Sabito died in final selection, it was just you two. But…it was never the same. There was a whole in both of your hearts. You two grew together, passed final selection, and became demon slayers, and then climbed your way with immense skill to the top. You both were very powerful hashira. But still, you grew closer, and almost inseparable. Your personalities were the same. Cold, quiet, stoic, secretly soft, and pretty depressed.

You and Giyuu were sent on a mission together to kill a demon. It was quite often that both of you went together. It was late at night, and both of you walked through the forest, engaging in small conversation and silent observation. Even when there was silence, it was comfortable and pleasant. Eventually you heard rustling in the trees, and found the demon and began to fight it. Then, you saw it. It rushed towards Giyuu, large knife in hand. Your eyes widened. Before you could even think twice, your body moved before you could even think.

Before you could register what happened, you felt a sharp, piercing pain wring through your body, causing you to let out a small cry of pain. You felt warm liquid begin to run down your stomach, and your legs shake with a sudden weakness. You’d taken the hit. But as what cost?
