#meekermoo

He’s not really interested in starting a family or getting married, not when it’ll just bring more danger to your doorstep. He’s been pretty determined in keeping the people he cares about away from this life…but if it will help save you, doesn’t he have a duty to try? He doesn’t think he could watch you wither away if he didn’t step in. He’ll take his rightful place at your side, but he won’t be happy about it. At least not in any way he’ll show you. At least he might be able to convince Genya to leave the corps to help take care of you while he’s away on missions…

Gyomei

Gyomei cries when he hears of your fate. He cries for your children and the ancestors who have suffered the guilt of passing on this curse to their own children. He had no plans to marry, to bear his own children, but how could he let you suffer? If none of the others will take their place by your side, you can count on Gyomei. He will ease your pain and care for you as best as he can with the life he leads.

Muichiro

Muichiro isn’t a candidate. If not only for his age, but also with how dazed and distracted he is. You need to be saved sooner than later so you can’t wait for him. That doesn’t mean he won’t support you and your chosen husband…at least when he remembers…

Obanai

Obanai knows what it’s like to be bound by the fate given to you by your family. He also knows what it is to be freed. He dreams of a life where you’re all free, where he can live his life in peace with Mitsuri…and you. He hesitates to accept a role, to fight for the role of your husband because of his love for her. It’s not fair to either of you and he knows that. It doesn’t stop him from wanting though. It’s only at Mitsuri’s insistence though that he accepts the challenge. After all, they have enough love for more than each other and if Tengen can hold multiple spouses, why can’t he?

Giyuu

Giyuu has been in love with you since you met and spoke kindly to him, but he’s not sure he can bear the weight of more death. If marrying him does not save you, could he bear it? Could you bear it if he has to go through with the promise he made in return for Nezuko’s life? He carefully weighs the potential trauma to you both. Still, he will admit, that he will try. He wants to try. If only to be able to hold you once…

Kyojuro

Kyojuro has mourned for your fate, for the choices that your family has made to bring you to this. He’s not even sure you want any of them, but he knows how the others feel. He knows how he feels. He won’t allow the curse to claim you. Not when he can take his place at your side. The future is undetermined, but with a simple action, he can try to ensure that you get to see yours. Isn’t that worth enough?

Tengen

Sanemi

100% Sanemi only cares enough to tell them to "get the fuck out!" and leave the two of you alone. He won’t admit that he’s embarrassed or flustered about it, but you can read him fairly easily by now. Luckily, you know exactly how to distract him…

Shinobu

The moment the door opens and you’re caught, she breaks the kiss and looks up. Whatever look she gives them, a soft smile with a warning attached to it, the door closes again. No one says a word. At least not to Shinobu. 

Gyomei

Gyomei knows when someone’s about to walk in and is already pulling away. If it wasn’t for the way both of your hair is messed up, your lips slightly swollen and how close you're still sitting, no one would suspect a thing. 

Mitsuri

100% you look guilty right away. She’s left kiss marks on your neck and one of her braids is coming undone. She blushes furiously at getting caught and accidentally throws the nearest thing at the door to get them to leave. With her strength it impales itself in the wall. No one says a word after that. Except Kyojuro who congratulates you both. 

Obanai

Obanai isn’t the type to let you get caught. If you do though, he’s already turning you to hide both of you from their stares as he readjusts his bandages on his face. You’re the one who tells the others to get the fuck out and leave the two of you alone. 

Giyuu

Giyuu doesn’t really care, but he looks to make sure you’re not embarrassed or upset about it. He doesn’t say much and when the others make comments to you like “Really?? Him?” you don’t hesitate to stand up for him and tell them “Yes! I couldn’t choose better.” 

Muichiro

No one’s making out with Muichiro. He’s a child. (Also, he’d totally forget about meeting you in the first place in order to do so, so it’d never get this far. )

Kyojuro

Kyojuro is embarrassed but he plays it off. He distracts the ones who find you while covering you from being seen. He’s not ashamed to be kissing you, but he’s not certain that you want them to see you just yet. He gives you time to be ready and apologizes to you later for the interruption. 

Tengen

Sanemi: He learns you’re not afraid of him the moment you drag him away from where the children are sleeping and demand that he keep his tone down. You don’t care that he’s chasing down some delinquent student, if the children wake up before they’re ready, your day will be ten times harder. He admires you for the way you stand your ground and decides that he enjoys bantering with you. It’s hard to find someone who won’t run. Honestly, if he wasn’t as madly in love with Kanae, he could see himself being swayed to you. If either of you didn’t kill each other when you argued…

Shinobu: Shinobu is one of the first to meet you. She is brought along with Kanao by Kanae who comes to introduce herself and warn you about the way the school is haunted. At first, you don’t believe her, but there are times when things move, the light flicker or one of the toys makes noise on its own. It’s usually during naptime. After it happens one too many times, you seek Kanae out for help. She, Kanao and Shinobu bring you talismans and teach you the chant she uses. You become great friends with Kanae and start to see Shinobu and Kanao as younger sisters.

Gyomei: You can’t lie, at first glance Gyomei was intimidating but you’ve learned long ago that appearances don’t always tell the truth. It doesn’t take long for you to learn that Gyomei is a sweetheart who you can always rely on if you need assistance with something. Especially if it requires his strength or size. The two of you become good friends and Gyomei is usually your first choice when it comes to inviting someone into the class for assistance. The kids love him and he’s gentle enough back. It might be enough for you to have a bit of a crush, but you’re certainly not going to admit it.

Mitsuri: You need Mitsuri the first time you order pizza for the class. It’s a celebration and a pizza party is the perfect way to have it. She’s bright and bubbly and not that much younger than you. The two of you get on fabulously and it quickly escalates from her delivering pizzas to the two of you going shopping together. You will, however, never get over how much the girl can eat. It’s honestly impressive and you can’t help but wonder where she puts it all. God forbid anyone around you makes a comment though because you’re not afraid to stand up and defend her. She’s your best friend now after all.

Obanai: You don’t have too many interactions with Obanai, outside of staff meetings. But he does have a way of coming around and stopping by your classroom with Mitsuri is there. You know she has a crush on your fellow teacher so you’re not ashamed to casually mention when she’s coming by in his hearing distance. Especially since you can see how interested he is too. You’re just waiting for the day the two of them get together. You can’t wait to celebrate with Mitsuri and know you helped make it possible.

Giyuu: You like Giyuu. He’s straightforward and a bit intense, but he does actually listen to your concerns and thoughts. You find him to be a good companion to hang out with, and his quietness is a welcome reprieve from the screaming and incessant talking of preschoolers. The two of you bond telling the ridiculous stories of the students and you’re one of the few people who have successfully made him laugh out loud with one of the questions your students asked you. He has a crush, but he assumes you’re not interested so he doesn’t confess. He’d rather have your friendship than nothing.

Muichiro: You meet Muichiro and his classmates during a drill. The older kids come to help escort the younger children out and entertain them as they’re teaching them the proper way to react. You don’t really interact with him, you don’t have the need to, but you appreciate the care he and his friends show to the younger kids. 

Kyojuro: Kyojuro was one of the first to welcome you to the school. He’s energetic, and caring and his willingness to get down and interact with the preschoolers, as well as throw himself fully into their games, makes him a welcome visitor. Kyojuro thinks it's admirable how you care for the children in your class and is always the first to volunteer with you when it comes to staying overnight for the security rotations. He doesn’t believe in ghosts, but you do so he’ll help with no complaints. He absolutely has a crush but he doesn’t want to push his admiration. He’ll wait until he’s confident that you may return his feelings and try to plan the perfect confession.

The Reactions:

Sanemi

It’s strange for them to be called this soon and he hasn’t taken his eyes off of you. You’re a stranger and despite knowing you could only be here with permission. He doesn’t trust it but he waits. He’ll hear it from the master himself. 

You’re introduced and honestly? He’s confused. It’s not possible. It shouldn’t be possible and if it was anyone except the Master, he wouldn’t believe it. He still doesn’t believe it. 

“Not that I am doubting you, Master,” he calls out. “But you can’t expect us to believe this without proof.” 

“Of course, I wouldn’t, my children, but I do ask that you trust me. Their abilities have been seen by multiple slayers in the incident it was revealed.” 

“Tch,” he mutters but he nods. 

It’s fine. He’ll keep an eye on them. Maybe if their blood actually works, they can get rid of Muzan and Genya will finally be fucking safe.

Shinobu

Shinobu is aware of the stranger but isn’t concerned. You wouldn’t be here unless you served a purpose and when you’re finally introduced, she’s fascinated. 

There’s never been a recorded case of someone with the ability to transform a demon into a human, the complete opposite of Muzan and his creatures' abilities. It’s fascinating and the first thing she’s going to do once this meeting is over is make sure you return with her to the Butterfly Mansion. She needs to compare your blood to a regular human's and see if there is any difference. There has to be a way to measure the ability. 

She wonders if Wisteria would have any effect on you and she’s already calculating the tests she can do. As Master Ubuyashiki replies to Sanemi, it occurs to her…could your blood help him? Could it stop the illness or remove it completely? She needs to look into this. 

Tengen

“How flashy!” 

Tengen has never heard of anything like your ability in his life, but he can’t wait to see it in action. He knows it’s bound to be spectacular. He can hear the way your heartbeat increases the longer you stand there under their speculative gazes and he offers his compliments in order to help ease the stress. It doesn’t seem to work but you nod back to him and smile. Rengoku’s additional praise seems to fluster you further under the attention. Tengen just laughs and tells his friend that the end might actually be in sight. 

He knows he’s not wrong. It would be an incredible thing to see and if it’s true, they need to keep you safe. Shinobu will likely figure out some plan to use your ability without putting you in danger and if they can completely eradicate the demons? It’ll be a flamboyant end. Perhaps then he can keep Hinata’s promise and get the chance to live with his wives in peace. The way they deserve. 

Kyojuro

It’s unusual for a Hashira meeting to be called so soon. He can admit that his curiosity is piqued at your presence but he can wait until it’s satisfied. Whatever he was expecting, it is not the news that their master presented. An ability to transform a demon back into a human? It seems impossible but if that master agrees, he can only imagine the possibilities. The idea that Senjuro may not feel the need to follow him into this danger is enough to fuel his desire for this to be the truth. 

He is unashamed as he gazes at you, taking in your countenance and stance. You’re untrained. He can see it as clearly as he sees the determination in your eyes. It’s admirable. The path ahead of you will be dangerous but you are a spark of hope that he can fan into a blaze. You’re untrained but not for long. He’ll ensure you have the skill to survive. Whatever it takes.

Giyuu

It seems like a dream when Master Ubuyashiki informs them of the reason for your presence. He’s not sure what’s more surprising. The news of your ability or the relief that sets in his chest at the fact that you can turn Nezuko back and save him and Master Urookodaki from needing to fulfill their promise. He doesn’t regret the choice he made but he wants to keep his Master from needing to keep it. 

He glances at you out of the corner of his eye and wonders how you came to be here. Who did you lose to find out you were capable of such things? Did you hold the same guilt he has about being too late? He hopes not. It may seem like a cruel thing for the world to give you this, but the potential is worth it. It has to be. He’ll help as much as he can.

Muichiro

Muichiro is listening. He is. But he can’t help his thoughts from wandering as he processes the news. Were you like a demon? It sounds like a blood demon art but you’re standing in the sun so it can’t be that. Maybe something else? What else could do that? His gaze wanders to the clouds as he thinks. One of them looks like a rice ball. Or…a cat? 

The Master called them here because of you but you haven’t spoken. He’s not sure if it’s true or not but if that master says it is, it is. He can trust that. 

He continues listening, even as he decides that the cloud is more of a frog now.

Obanai

His eyes narrow as he watches you. It seems convenient that you’ve emerged now. First the demon in a box and now this. It’s suspicious in his opinion. Still, he won’t go against Master Ubuyashiki’s orders. If he believes you can help, then Obanai will wait and see. He doesn't believe it, not until he sees it for himself, but he’ll let you be. 

That doesn’t mean that he won’t keep an eye on you though. He doesn’t trust you, no matter what the Master says. You’re a stranger and he wouldn’t be surprised if this was some elaborate trap. He knows you can’t always trust humans, even when you want to. So he’ll wait and he’ll make sure you don’t get the chance to spring the trap. He’ll keep his comrades safe. Especially Mitsuri. He already knows that she’s dying to meet you properly. He’ll be right there with her when she does. Just in case.

Mitsuri

The news is a surprise, but Mitsuri can’t help but be excited! This was the best thing she’s heard. She loves being a demon slayer, and she loves her friends that she’s made but this could change everything! People would be saved! It’s the best thing she’s heard at one of these meetings, even with the last one where she met the adorable Tanjiro and his sister. The fact that you want to help? It’s wonderful. 

You look a little scared though and it’s enough to make her want to reach out and comfort you. It must be intimidating to be faced with them, even if Mitsuri knows they’re not scary. Not really. Still, she makes up her mind quickly. She’s going to properly introduce herself after the meeting. She’ll even drag Obanai with her. The three of you will be great friends, she just knows it!

Gyomei

 He murmurs prayers at the news.  It’s fantastic but his heart can’t help but mourn for the tragedy you must have faced in your discovery. His eyes fill with tears that don’t hesitate to fall. It must have terrified you and to think, you have a bright soul that has still made the choice to help others. It’s commendable. It is tragic. And yet, he feels only hope as you are discussed. 

He doesn't know how it’s possible, but he prays and gives his thanks that they’ve found you. That they are given this chance to protect you as you help them save people. It is a worthwhile effort and one that he will not waste. He could not save the children under his protection and he holds no grudge against the choices that were made, but he will do better now. He will help you reach your potential and save all that you can. 

Plus!

Muzan

When Muzan hears the news of you, he laughs. It cannot be real. There are none but him who can change a being into another. And yet…he feels the disconnection. He knows that he is losing demons as fast as he can replace them. It’s strange. They’re not dead, but they are gone. 

There are no recorded incidents about being able to turn demons into humans, but Muazn isn’t stupid. There were none that did the opposite before him. He sets out his demands, giving the orders to his Upper Moons. Bring you to him. He wants to see if it’s true and if it is? Well, he wants to see what else you’re capable of. Maybe you can do more. If your blood can turn a demon into a human, could a diluted form give him the ability to walk in the sun like he wants? Think of the possibilities. 

And if not? He’ll satisfy his curiosity and make sure to kill you himself.

Sanemi

Sanemi doesn’t really know how to make you laugh, but your lack of reactions is off putting. He’s not going to admit it, but it creeps him out. So he awkwardly tells stories about the things he and his siblings used to get up to. It hurt, at first, but the longer he spoke about them the less it did. He doesn’t make you laugh, but you get this soft smile on your face the more he talks and he takes that as a win. He doesn’t realize that you’re helping him more than he helps you. 

Shinobu

Shinobu is terrible at telling jokes, but she has this dry sarcastic wit that she uses to her advantage. She’s not afraid to make comments about others, especially the demons, in an attempt to get you to react. You tend to cut back just as harshly, in the same dry sarcasm, which makes her laugh. It’s strange how real it feels when she’s been pretending for so long. 

Gyomei

Gyomei tries and fails. He tells the worst jokes, not because he likes them but because he only really remembers jokes that work on children. You will stare at his earnest expression, before snorting softly in amusement at his attempts. He can’t see if you actually smiled, but he knows he succeeded where it counts. It makes him cry as he prays his thanks. 

Mitsuri

Mitsuri also doesn’t know too many good jokes, but it’s fine. That doesn’t stop her. She tries to tease you and to get you to relax with her. She doesn’t really succeed, until you tease her back about her crush and can’t help but laugh at her reaction. Mitsuri is embarrassed but she also cheers for the fact that she did it! She compliments you on your laugh, says you should do it more often. She wants to hear it more. You sound so cute! 

Obanai

Obanai is another one who doesn’t really know how to tell jokes. He doesn’t try because he’s not sure how to go about it. He knows Mitsuri is worried for you and while he’s jealous, he knows that she’ll appreciate his efforts. What he does do is offer to let you meet Kaburamaru officially. The snake doesn’t leave his shoulders but when his tongue flickers out against your hand as you greet it, you give a small huff of laughter. Obanai can’t wait to tell Mitsuri. 

Giyuu

What is it with these Hashira and the inability to tell good jokes? Actually, you know what? Giyuu is a lot funnier than he lets himself show. He knows a lot of jokes from Sabito and their time training together but he doesn’t often let himself relax enough to tell them properly. He tries though on this mission with you. It’s more his slightly deadpan delivery that cracks you up than the joke itself. No one believes Giyuu when he tells them he made you laugh. Not until you come up and ask him to tell you another one. 

Muichiro

Muichiro has that same dry sarcasm after he starts to get his memory back. His snappy comebacks make you laugh more than you thought they would because you’re so used to him not paying attention and ignoring everyone. He doesn’t revel in your laughter though, he simply looks at you like he doesn’t get what’s so funny. 

Kyojuro

Kyojuro probably tries the hardest out of everyone. He knows the world isn’t great but that doesn’t mean that you cannot see the good in it as well. He’s less determined to make you laugh than he is to get you to open up and let yourself enjoy the fact that you’re still living. There is so much potential in the world around you and he wants to show it to you. What makes you quietly laugh is the way you see people react to his enthusiasm as you work together. It makes Kyojuro proud when he realizes it. 

Tengen

Tengen doesn’t think he has to try the hardest, but he’s the flashiest and most flamboyant, that he does put a fair amount of effort into trying to make you laugh. You’re kind of used to him though so you’re not easily affected by his attempts. He doesn’t try to tell jokes but he will tell stories about his wives. He doesn’t make you laugh, but when you meet his wives and they take the chance to get to know you on their own (without Tengen), they end up making you laugh hysterically with their stories of Tengen. Especially with Makio’s impressions. Tengen, of course, hears it and comes running so he can find out what worked.
