Muichiro Tokito |Red Thread

"It's fins, just cut it"

"You're really stubborn, defying the Gods means death, are you prepared for it?" The woman explained once again, trying to convince Muichiro about his decision. 

"I don't really care" Muichiro said, remaining determined of his decision. 

"why waste your life when you can just accept and be happy with your soul mate" the woman asked

"I don't really get this concept of red thread, soulmates, I don't understand how can I be happy with someone I don't know, someone I really hate, someone that is annoying...just because we are connected by this thread were supposed to love each other? that's a little forced don't you think" he explained, this must be the longest Muichiro have to say. 

The woman smiled at him and look at him with a painful expression.

"I want to cut it for you but you're already too late" the Woman said making Muichiro confuse.

"What do you mean?" 

"A girl went in here earlier than you, and asked to cut the thread, I gave her the only scissors I have left" The woman said, as Muichiro realize that it was you who went in earlier. Muichiro was about to leave but the woman spoke once again.

"though she asked for a means to cut the thread, I don't easily give away those scissors to anybody...but her reasons moved me...want to hear it?" the woman said as Muichiro turn around again curious to what the woman wants to say.

'Someone would come here later and will asked you to cut this thread, but I heard that the person who cut this would die, so let me die instead of him, I'd rather die than see him end his life because of me' 

as the woman say those words, Muichiro immediately ran to leave and find you, he don't know why but his body and mind beg him to find you, he want's to stop you and save you, but from who? from him?

Muichiro ran and ran to find you but somehow the world seems to be against him, as a demon block his path, an upper demon of all times. for the first time, Muichiro cared for someone other than himself, he was fighting the demon not to save himself but to save you.

but, of all times, when defeated the demon his memories come back to him, everything, his parents, his brother and more importantly you.

"Muichiro, when were older let's get married" your 11 years old self told to Muichiro as you childishly grinned at him.

" of course, I'll only marry (Y/N)-chan" he responded as he also smiled and ruffled you hair.

"It's a promise then" you put up your pinkie for him to cross

"It's a promise" Muichiro said as he cross both of your pinkies together.

"I remember now (Y/N)" he whispered as tears gathered on his eyes as he lay down on the ground, exhausted from fighting the demon.

"Muichiro?" your familiar voice said as you collapse on the ground next to Muichiro. his eyes widen as he took in your injured body, bruises and cuts cover your body and now a pool of blood start to surround you.

"What happened to you?" with all his strength, Muichiro crawled next to you and examined your wound.

"a demon attacked the village, I guess his a lot stronger than me" you painfully muttered as your breath become uneven.

"you idiot! why did you move around, your loosing too much blood" he shouted trying to stop the bleeding.

"I went to find you" you whispered 

"You idiot" Muichiro began to sob as realize it's already too late.

"why now that I remember you" he said as he grip your hands that was turning cold.

"you remember me? I'm glad" you said as you try to breath but it was getting hard.

"...(Y/N)...I'm sorry so please don't leave me" he sob as he cradle you next to him, your head resting on his chest. then suddenly, Muichiro saw the red thread connecting the both of you glowing.

"The thread...you didn't cut it?" Muichiro ask as he saw the thread more clearly now.

"I already cutted it....because I don't want you to die" you explained as Muichiro felt guilty and regretted everything.

"I don't know what happened but please (Y/N), I love you so don't leave" he sob as you start to slip away.

"sorry Muichiro....I ..Love...you..too" you barely whispered as you turn cold and your body limp, Muichiro feeling these pulled your body closer to him. he stayed like that until he himself fell asleep and other demon slayers found you two.

The threads can sometimes stretch and tangle but it can never be broken, even before you were born the thread were already tied to you, it just takes time for it to show itself.
