A/N: ITS TIME...

----

Y/N was shifting in her sleep, a weird feeling building up in her body. It felt like she was floating.. Suddenly, Y/N felt water splash around her. Opening her eyes, the woman found herself floating in a small lake, surounded by beautiful lotus flowers, her long green hair floating in the water. Getting up, she walked towards the edge of the lake, climbing out of it. Looking down at her body, she saw it adorned with a, now wet, white gown, her chest bindings and underwear underneath. Looking around, the woman admired the beauty of the place she was in. Just where was she? Was this a dream? She definetly wasn't in Tamayo's mansion anymore. Her gaze shifted towards a small rock in the distance. There was someone sitting on it too. At first, Y/N thought it was Tanjiro. The person had long, dark red hair and was facing away from her. She was walking towards the rock, the white gown, now somehow dry, was flowing around her feet, the fabric soft against her legs. The figure on the rock turned around, revealing a beautiful face, looking like it was crafted by the gods themself. The man smiled down at her, his red eyes filled with delight upon seeing her.

"We meet at last Y/N.."

The womans golden eyes widened as she gazed at the man.

"How do you.. How do you know my name?"

She locked eyes with the man, who stood up jumping from the rock as he landed next to her. The man was taller than her, smiling down at her.

"Walk with me. I will explain everything.."

Y/N nodded, walking next to the man.

"Okay.. But.. Who are you exactly? Are you Tanjiro?"

The man let out a soft laugh, his deep voice sending a shiver down Y/N's spine.

"No, no. My name is Yoriichi. Yoriichi Tsugikuni."

The woman raised a brow. She couldn't recall ever hearing that name. The man looked up at the beautiful sky, eyes following the clouds.

"You might want to know where we are.."

Y/N nodded again, hands playing eith her gown.

"This is the spirit realm and you, my dear Y/N, are able to access it due to not beeing from this world."

Y/N blinked in confusion as she spoke, voice shaky.

"How do you know that, Tsugikuni-san?"

Yoriichi let out a sigh.

"Ever since I died, I have been wandering the spirit realm. It's as if the gods are telling me that I still have a purpose.."

Y/N lowered her gaze. A purpose huh? What was her purpose then? Why was she here? Yoriichi stopped, speaking up again.

"And I can, at least to a certain degree, see what happens in the world of the living. And You, Y/N, have been very interesting too watch."

Y/N frowned at him, face scrunched up. Yoriichi raised his hands, laughing softly.

"Not in a weird way, I promise. I respect women far too much to do such a vile thing."

Y/N's frown dissappeared as she looked at him.

"But.. Yoriichi. Why do you think you haven't crossed the barrier to afterlife yet?"

The red haired man let out a sigh as he shrugged.

"That, I do not know. During my lifetime, I was a demon slayer. I invented the first ever breathing style and fought the first ever demon. Muzan Kibutsuji.. I almost killed him, but he managed to escape last minute.. He then pursued my brother, Michikatsu, to become a demon. Successfully at that."
