Note: AU... My way of running things and the time in this story :3

Special Note From The Author Himself: 

Most of this are typed from my phone... And I mean MOST of it... So forgive me if it's bad.. or I spelled something wrong... I had a hard time with it...

-=Y/N's POV=-

Throughout my life, I lived in prison that I so called home... I always knew that my father, the Emperor, has no real power to his people, nor to the Shogun. The Shogun is the one that rules Japan... But what reasons for them to keep me and the Yamato Clan alive... As of now, I manage to convince my father to let me see the outside world, and not just the inside walls of the palace... 20 loyal samurais are with me, ready and waiting for further orders from their Prince... Yes, I am the next heir to the throne of the Imperial Family... And that is the reason why I need to see new things.. and a way to fight back the Shogun...

Hiroshi:"Your Majesty, are you sure that only 20 samurais is enough? I think it would be better with 50 or around 100 troops to guard you" he says behind me, as I kept my eyes on the road on my horse

Y/N:"20 is enough... 50 will make the shogun grew suspicious of me, and 100 will give him the go signal to kill me..." I explain to him, not even giving the care to look at him

Hiroshi:"As you wish, your Majesty" he said as he steps back and march with the men with me...

Y/N:'I've heard rumours of some powerful samurais from the sengoku era... but now, it seems too hard to locate them.. As if they wanted to be unknown from the Shogun and to the Imperial Family...' I thought...

Hours later, me and my men are now too far from the Imperial Palace... And this is where everything will be dangerous, especially bandits, or ronins...

???:"Hold it right there!" a male shouted from behind the cover of the trees... I pull to a stop as my 20 bodyguards then quickly move forward and surround me...

Hiroshi:"You dare interfere the Crown-Prince of Japan?!" he shouted back, as I look around the tree lines... feeling something isn't right...

Ronin:"Oh, Crown-Prince you say? Well, ain't me and my boys that lucky. If I were you, surrender yourselves and we promise... we will take good care of you" he said, but ended with a laugh, as I heard other laughs too around us...

Hiroshi:"We are honorable warriors! Unlike any of you! You brought shame to the bushido!" he shouted... As he was about to pull his sword, I know that I need to do something...

Y/N:"Wait" I ordered, as my bodyguards look at me. "I will give in, Ronin..." I called out... as I jump down from my horse as the men quickly walk up to me and trying to reassure that everything will be fine. "Follow my lead... make sure to make your eyes open... they already surrounded us..." I whisper, while walking slowly...

As Hiroshi slowly nods and step aside from my way... I walk further from my group, and there, the ronin finally shows himself...

Ronin:"Crown-Prince? Hah! For how much would they pay for your life" he said with that devilish smirk, as he was about to grab me, I moved my hand under my sleeve and pull out a short knife, as he noticed this, he grabs the hilt of his sword

But before he could unsheathe his sword, I moved my free hand and hold his dirty hand on the hilt, unabling him to use his sword, as I then jab the knife to his neck, his eyes wide open, I step to the side and pull the knife and threw it to the nearest ronin to me, as it hits straight to his stomach... After all this, I saw my men readied their swords and charge to their enemies around them, luckily for us, this ronins only have katanas, nothing dangerous like guns...

As the ronin beside me began to drown from his own blood, I grab the hilt of his sword and unsheathe it from his scabbard, I turn around and finally finish off the other ronin with the knife I throw to his stomach...

Timeskip (Yeah, I'm lazy :3)

The fight was intense, but in the end, we manage to kill all of them, and we only suffer 4 of my bodyguards... I threw the shameful katana to the side of the road, as I got up to my horse, this time, unarmed... I bid a short prayer for the warriors that gave their lives to protect me... and then, we left... leaving behind the bloodbath...

Hiroshi:"Your Majesty, I thought I would see the day to fail my task..." he said beside me, as I look down at him from my horse

Y/N:"You did well... All of you... I was glad that I chose the right warriors to come with me..." I said, as my short compliment inspired and honored the men... continuing the journey with no incident...

At night, we finally found a very small village to take rest... We didn't even know such place even exist in this area... My men wants that they should be the one to talk with the people of this fine village... At first, I felt a chill down my spine, as I turn to look behind me to see nothing... I can't see anything because how dark it is...

Hiroshi:"Your Majesty, the populace are very happy for you to stay for the night... Me and the others will take turns to take watch" he said, as I brushed off the feeling and nodded to him...

Y/N:"Very good" I said, as I hop off from my horse, and followed Hiroshi. Along the way, some village folks walk up to me and greeted me by bowing their heads...

I reached the house where the men are already doing their thing and one of them slid the door open for me... Simple... Simple but that's what I should expect outside the Imperial Palace...

Hiroshi:"Sleep well, Y/N-sama" he said, before he slid the door closed... I first got myself comfy...

On the bed(I forgot what's it called, its the one that you sleep on the floor ;] ), I still felt that same feeling... I couldn't even get some sleep... I just stare at the ceiling, hearing the guards outside chatting... Hours later, I finally felt myself getting sleepy, but before I could close my eyes and let darkness consume me... I heard screams... horrifying screams from outside... I quickly sat up and ran up and slid the door open to see my bodyguards standing and at full attention, I look around to see the houses are still no lighting from the inside...

Y/N:"What was that scream?" I ask them

Samurai #1:"We don't know, Y/N-sama. But some of us already went out to check" he said, as I walk out and there I felt that same weird feeling again...

Y/N:'Something isn't right... Why is the other folks aren't still coming out from their homes...' I thought, as I look down to the ground to see my shadow because of the only source of light is the moon

There I noticed a shadow rising from the roof of where I'm in a while ago... this shadow rises and stops... its head not turning... as if its focused on me...

Y/N:"Behind us! On the roof!" I shouted, as all of us turn and look... I see nothing.. Until I felt someone pushed me to the ground...

Samurai #1:"Protect Y/N-sama!" he shouted, only for me to see him decapitated by the intruder, with only his bare hands... I was shock to see this...

Hiroshi:"Get up! We need to get you out of here, Y/N-sama" he said as he pulls me up to my feet and drags me away from the fighting, as I look back to see one by one of my men are taken down by this monster...

Y/N:"Where's the others?" I ask him about the ones that went out to see what's the scream was...

Hiroshi:"Dead. I was able to get away from those monsters when it started to feed the flesh of my brothers..." he said

He leads me to where my horse is, as I got up and fixed myself on it... Until, he pushed his sheathed sword to me... as I look at him with surprise..

Y/N:"Hiroshi... I can't take this-" I said but got cut off

Hiroshi:"Then you have to, Y/N-sama! I would rather die here knowing that you left with a weapon... Now, go!" he said, as I started to get hesitated, and he noticed it as he slaps the horse, making it go forward

-=3rd Person's POV=-

Hiroshi smiles knowing Y/N will be safe... As he turns around and faces the monster that killed his fellow brethren...

???:"You manage to get my favorite food to leave... I was saving him for last, after I kill you..." he said, with a devilish smile on his face as blood splattered on his clothes...

Hiroshi:"You.Shall not.Pass!!! (Sorry, not sorry) I would rather die fighting, than die like a coward" he said, as he charges at the demon, but the demon easily just punched Hiroshi's head... quickly decapitated him...

???:"Now... The other one may not got that far..." he said, as he started running to the forest of where Y/N went... keeping trail of his blood...

Meanwhile

-=Y/N's POV=-

Y/N:"I need to get back to the Imperial Palace... But where... Damn it... I can't see properly in the dark..." I said, and that same feeling like before returns...

Then, something hit my horse, making me flew forward and hit the ground hard... I felt like my left arm is dislocated... I look up to see the monster... quickly killing my horse in a gruesome way...

???:"Ohhh... I can't wait to have a taste of you..." he said, smiling like a mad man...

I grab the katana with my good hand, and I pull the hilt, as it easily unsheathes from its scabbard...

Y/N:"Don't get close to me! I will kill you!" I shouted at him

???:"Oh, is that so? I would rather see you try then" he said as he laughs at the end...

I saw him jump towards me, as I took the chance to roll to the side, as he landed, I swing my sword horizontally, as it hits him to his arm, but isn't deep enough to cut it off...

???:"How foolish are you to think a demon like me can easily be killed by you?" he says, as he grabs the blade and snaps it with ease... as I am now horrified...

Y/N:"Demon? That's nonsense!" I shouted at him... as he grab me by the neck and pull me up in the air...

Demon:"I wish I could tell you more... But, I have no time" he says as he laughs, while slowly tightening the hold on my neck... I tried to claw his hand off my neck, but failed... I started to have difficulty of breathing... And there... I lose consciousness

-=3rd Person's POV=-

As the demon continued laughing, until something like a blur went passed between Y/N and the demon as he quickly stops... Seconds later, his arm got cut off from out of nowhere... Y/N falls to the ground, still unconscious, and left the demon screaming in pain, his arm not regenerating...

???:"Ara Ara~ you killed 24 village folks, 16 samurais in one night... I'm quite surprise, I don't know if I should let you even live..." she says, as she smiles and facing at the demon that somehow manages to stop screaming

Demon:"Who are you?! How can you manage to slice my arm?!" he shouted, but got no answer, as the swordslady suddenly disappears into a blur from his sight, as the demon looks around to find her, but failed, until he saw her right beside the unconscious Y/N

???:"The moon is quite lovely tonight, don't you think?" she says, staring to the demon while standing beside Y/N

Demon:"I'll kill you!!!- Gah!" he shouted but stops in his tracks... as he felt his insides burning....

The demon started screaming in agony as his body slowly disintegrate to nothing... The swordslady then kneels down beside Y/N's unconscious body, as she brushes his hair with her hands... As she smiles

Timeskip

-=Y/N's POV=-

I woke up with a nightmare, as I quickly sat up, breathing heavily and sweating...

???:"Moshi mosh~ (I forgot how to spell it in english letters :3 )" those words rings in my head

I felt my throat is dry... I look around to see I'm in a unfamiliar room... knowing that I'm not in the village anymore...

???:"Moshi mosh~" again...

I look to the side of the bed that I'm on, and there I saw a glass of water... I was about to reach it when I heard that same words again, but this time, near my left ear... As I turn to look... I saw a woman with black hair with her hair end is violet with a butterfly clip... her eyes are light purple... but seems dull (Yeah, I'm bad at describing people... So here's her picture instead :3 ). What's worst, she is too close to me, I can even smell her perfume...

Y/N:"Agh!" I was about to talk but not with a dry throat and that I let out a cough instead, as I pulled back. But she only smiles...

She walks to the other side of the bed and grabs the glass of water as she sat beside me and moves the glass of water close to me

???:"I do believe you need some water" she says, as I drink while she holds the glass of water. "You've injured your jaw, so please drink slowly" she says

As I then felt the sting of pain while moving a bit of my jaw, making me spill some water from my mouth...

???:"It contains a painkiller, so it will make you feel better" she continues, as I somehow feel the pain slowly goes away every second...

Y/N:"Thank you" I said, as I breathe deeply several times... I noticed that my left arm is wrapped up, also to feel some of it from my jaw to the back of my head... And there I remember. "I need to get back" I said, as I pull the blanket to the side as I sat up on the left side of the bed

I was about to stand up, when I felt both hands on my shoulders and pull me back down to the bed gently... I look up to see her face inches from mine again...

???:"I can't let you leave in that condition... Let me take care of you while you stay here" she says as I move her hands off me and I sat up

Y/N:"I can't... after that demon last night... I need to inform this to-" I said but cut off by her speaking near my ear

???:"Demon? He's gone now... But, you were unconscious for a week now too..." she says near my ear, as I stand up and took some steps away from her...

Y/N:"What?! A week?! This is bad, I need to head back, right away" I said, I walk away from the bed as I look around the room I was in...

A small room with some windows but covered with curtains, with some furniture... and only one door...

???:"Looks like I have no other way to stop you" she says, as I turn around to see her now sitting at the end of the bed, still smiling to me...

Y/N:"Who are you? You said that the demon that's after me is dead?" I ask her... and there I felt like the aura in the room suddenly changes...

Shinobu:"Shinobu Kocho, Insect Hashira, of The Demon Slayer Corps" she introduced

Y/N:"Wait, Demon Slayer Corps? I heard nothing about that..." I said, as she just looks at me, smiling...

Shinobu:"..."

Y/N:"I'm asking you a question" I said to her...

Shinobu:"..." she still smiling at me

I felt another change of aura from her... and soon, I remember my mistake in my part...

Y/N:"Y/N L/N" I said to her, hiding my title, not trusting her enough to know if I'm even safe...

Shinobu:"Oh, we should get going..." she says as she stands up gracefully... as she heads to the door with me following behind her...

Timeskip

She finally stops, as I drop down to the ground, exhausted... How does she didn't feel the same state like me... She made me walk this long...

Shinobu:"Here Y/N-san, drink this" she says, giving me a bottle of water (not the plastic, I meant the one made from old times)

I grab it and emptied the content, as I give it back to her while breathing heavily... I look up to see 3 people under the shades of this house... A man and two identical twins... too identical...

???:"Thank you for bringing him here, Shinobu-san" he says as shinobu steps back and sits on the ground on her knees...

Y/N:"*Breathes Heavily* Where am I?" I asked...

Shinobu:"This is the Demon Slayer's headquarters" she says, as I thanked her for answering, and she smiles, radiating a new positive aura from her...

I stand up and walk in... seeing the twins helping the man stand up... At closer look, his face... what even happened to him...

???:"Y/N-san, I'm glad to see you in healthy conditions" he says, calmly... as I was about to ask him how he knew my name...

Crow:"Cawww!!! Tanjirou Kamado and Zenitsu had killed the demon, and finished their mission" it talks...

Y/N:'It talks... This crow just talks...' I thought... dumbfounded...

???:"They did their best..." he says, as I look at him, even how... how different his face is... he still seems calm...

Y/N:"Who are you?" I ask him, as he smiles but before I could hear him answer

I felt someone grabs the back of my head and before something happens, the man speaks up...

???:"Sanemi... Please don't hurt our guest" he says, as I then look to see a guy with a deep scar on his face and some around his body... as he glare daggers at me, then he slowly move his hand away from me and head back to sit on the ground... there I noticed more people are here too

Y/N:'When did they... How... I should have heard them in the first place...' I thought...

Sanemi:"As you wish, Oyakata-sama" he speaks calmly...

Y/N:'Sama?'

Kagaya:"This is the very first time for the Demon Slayer Corps to be visited in person from the Imperial Family" he said, as I turn and look at him with shock...

Y/N:"You already know me? Then you should already know that I have many questions to ask about this" I said to him as he nods weakly because of his condition...

I look over my shoulder to see the others that sits in line are surprised to know about me as the Prince of Japan... For Sanemi, he seems happy about it... (WE both know why, right :3)

-=Timeskip=-

Y/N:"This is too much to take in..." I said, after learning too much about these Demon Slayers...

Kagaya:"Y/N-sama, I would rather advised that you should stay... You already stepped out of the protection of your home... going back will only risking you" he says, every time he continue speaking, I feel and hear his calm voice in my head...

Y/N:"I... I have no choice... but to agree..." I said, as he bow his head to me but I did the same gesture to him too...

I walk away and left... and stayed far away from them... thinking everything about it... Is this the reason why the Imperial Family must not step foot outside the Imperial Palace... Is this why the shogun takes control of everything... I have so many questions... but I know most of it will never be answered... I sat under the shade of a tree...

Y/N:"I hate this..." I said, as I look down... Until, I felt a hand on my shoulder... I look up to see Shinobu... Just like before, she got here without me knowing... "Shinobu-san? Are we supposed to go now?" I ask her, as she smiles and nods

Timeskip

Right now, I was about to eat in peace on the table and still in the same room, but Shinobu doesn't like that idea of mine...

Shinobu:"Ara Ara~ You're being a bad boy, Y/N-san" she says, I've been here in her home, The Butterfly Estate, for like a 2 weeks now... seeing many demon slayers that are injured, then seeing them walk off to do their duty... While I... did nothing but lay in bed, eat, drink, bath, repeat.

Most of it, Shinobu will always wants to be the one taking care of me... as I know that I'm in perfect conditions, she always would force me to submit to her doings... letting her do what she wants to me...

Y/N:"Shinobu-san, I can do it on my own, alright. I'm not a kid" I said, as I grab a spoon but she slaps my hand away from it...

Shinobu:"No good, Y/N-san" she says, as I reach my hand for the spoon again, this time, she grabs my hand, I look up to her

Y/N:"Let me go, Shinobu-san" I said, as I tried to move my hand away... but she has a strong hold on me...

I saw her move the bowl of soup away and placed it on the table... As she then use her other hand and grab my other hand, she moves my arms above my head as she leans closer to my face... Her eyes staring down on mine...

-=3rd Person's POV=-

Shinobu then holds both Y/N's arms over his head with only one hand, as she then moves her free hand and grab a hold of his thumb... Y/N then knew what Shinobu is about to do...

Y/N:"Wai- Ahh!!- Hmph!" he screamed but quickly silenced as Shinobu moves her face closer to Y/N's and kissed him... muffling Y/N's scream...

For 14 seconds, Shinobu leans back, smiling like she always do, but radiates a different feeling...

Shinobu:"Ah~ You taste so good, Y/N-san" she says, as she licks her lips to savor Y/N's flavor...

For Y/N, he has tears trailing down his face... As Shinobu wipes it away with her thumb...

Shinobu:"Now you know that you should never deny my ways of taking care of you, Y/N-san" she whispers to his ear...

Timeskip

-=Y/N's POV=-

Shinobu left two days ago for a mission, I took the chance to actually do something outside than staying everyday and night in the room that she kept me in...

Tanjiro:"Are you alright, Y/N?" he asks me with a worried look on his face

Y/N:"I'm fine, Tanjiro... I'm just enjoying my free time to practice with my sword" I said, smiling... But I knew he will probably know the truth of my true emotion... What a weird nose he have...

Tanjiro:"Are you-" he was about to ask another question until I heard her voice again...

Shinobu:"Tanjiro-san, leaving for another mission?" she asks, as Tanjiro and I turn around to see her standing right in front of me and facing Tanjiro

Tanjiro:"Ah! I almost forgot! I need to go now, Zenitsu and Inosuke must have been waiting for me. Goodbye Y/N-san and Shinobu-san" he says, as I wave him goodbye with a word of good luck for him and his friends...

Shinobu:"Why are you out here and not inside the room that you're supposed to be in, Y./.N.-san" she said as I took out a heavy sigh and sheathed my sword...

Y/N:"I'm not your property, Shinobu... Know your place" I said as I walk pass her

I felt her hand grab a hold of my right hand, as I then felt her other hand slither on my chest then to my neck...

Shinobu:"Ara~ Ara~ I just left your side and now you're this brave to talk to your future wife like that?" she whispers to my ear, as she moves her face closer and I felt her breathing down on my expose neck...

Y/N:"I... will never love someone like you" I said back, as fear began to control me...

Shinobu:"Maybe a night or two will change your mind about me..." She whispers as I then felt something hit the back of my neck and I lose balance, before I blacked out, the last thing I heard is her giggles...
