"Grandpa! Grandpa! Look!"

"We did it, Master Urokodak! We did it!"

You and Tanjiro showed Urokodaki your boulders you both have cutted in half. Urokodaki looks at Tanjiro's boulder and then at yours. You imagine he has a dumbfounded look on his face that you both actually succeed in cutting them in half.

"I had no intention of sending you both to Final Selection." Urokodai reveals. Tanjiro looked devastated while you pretended to be shocked at this reveal. "I didn't want to see children die anymore. I was sure you wouldn't be able to slice these boulders. Especially you, (Y/N). You were even weaker than Tanjiro. That's why I gave you the bigger boulder so that you'll fail and you won't go to Final Selection." He explains. Your (e/c) eyes widened when you realized Grandpa actually cares about you. You actually made an impact in his life. "But..." He gently patted both your heads. "Well done, my children. You're both remarkable kids."

Don't cry. This isn't worth crying for. I can't cry! But the waterworks fell when you saw Tanjiro crying. "Damn you, you cinnamon roll..." You sobbed.

Urokodaki pulls you both to embrace you. "Make sure you both come back alive from Final Selection. Both Nezuko and I will be waiting for you two here." He said.

"We will, Urokodaki san." Tanjiro promised.

The moment was ruined when your stomach loudly growled. "I'm hungry. All this training is making my stomach growl." You smiled.

The next thing you know, Urokodaki prepared a big meal for you all. Both you and Tanjiro were staring at the food wide-eyed as you drool a bit.

"What's the occasion? There's so much." Tanjiro asked.

"You completed your training, so we're celebrating." Urokodaki explains. He hands him a bowl before handing over yours. "Don't be shy. Eat up!"

"Thank you for the food!" You both prayed.

As you're munching down your dinner, Urokodaki looks at you both.

Tanjiro, (Y/N)...There's nothing more I can do for you. From here on out, you'll be going through some hardship and strife. Your training will be nothing in comparison. But as long as you're both together, you can overcome any tragedies coming your way, he thought. He sees you helping yourself for seconds and Tanjiro laughing when he points out you have a vegetable stuck between your teeth. Yes, you're both the children of the future, Urokodaki smiles underneath the mask.

After you finished eating, you both went back to your room where you're currently cutting Tanjiro's hair. "I can't believe you want me to cut your beautiful hair. What if I ruin it?" You said.

"You're doing fine, (Y/N) chan. I have faith in you." Tanjiro assured you.

"Thank you. After I'm done with you, I want you to cut my hair next."

His maroon eyes widen and his smile falters. "You want your hair to be cut? But you look so beautiful as it is."

You stop cutting his hair as an irk mark appears on your head. "Are you implying I looked ugly with short hair?" You threaten. Tanjiro gulps when he sees that your eyes don't match your smile. Plus the fact you're holding the scissors close to his neck didn't help.

"No, no! You always looked beautiful!" He panics.

"I'm just teasing you, Tanji." You smiled. He let out a sigh of relief. You chuckle a bit before resume cutting his hair. "The reason I want a haircut is to symbolize a new chapter in my life. If I survive Final Selection, I'm going to be a demon slayer. That's when my mission to save my brother will officially start." You explained.
