Clarification: For the love of fuck, don't comment that Y/N is Eren Yeager. It's getting annoying with people misunderstanding what I meant for Y/N.
A young man named Y/N was happily enjoying his time with his family. His two young brothers were happily enjoying their food at the dinner table while Y/N was just making his younger sister a bowl to eat.
Once done, he handed the bowl to her. "Finally!" she said while excitedly grabbing the bowl.
"You love my cooking, huh?" Y/N inquired.
"Of course I do!" she retorted. "it's as good if not better than mom's!"
With a chuckle, Y/N says "come on, it's not that good."
"You need to give yourself some more credit," she said before walking to the dinner table.
Y/N wore a genuine smile. He was happy to see that his family was happy. It meant the world to him to see smiles on their faces after the deaths of their parents. Y/N turned and saw a family photo.
Sadness falls upon his face while looking at his dead parents. He gripped the photo with both of his hands and the words of his parents echoed throughout his head. "Please Y/N, take care of your siblings. Make sure that they have a great life even without us here."
A single tear falls down his face. "I promise, I'll make sure that they stay safe. I'll protect them no matter what."
"Hey, Y/N!" his sister said.
"Huh?" he said before wiping away his tears. "What's up?"
"We're going to play a game!" she told him. "Wanna join?"
"Of course I do!" he answered.
"Come on!"
Y/N followed them to the living room to which he would enjoy playing with his siblings. Later on that day, darkness had fallen upon the sky and his siblings were tired. The two boys could barely stand due to their lack of energy.
"Tired?" Y/N asked them.
They both looked up at him and lifted their arms in the air, clearly wanting to be picked up and carried to bed. Understanding this, their older brother picked them up and carried them to their shared bedroom.
He laid them both in their bed and tucked them in. "Thank you, Y/N." "Thank you, big bro."
"It's my pleasure," Y/N told them with a sweet and genuine smile.
He kissed his two little brothers on the forehead and left their bedroom. Once leaving, he is met with his little sister. They look each other in the eyes for a little bit before he asked "Want me to carry you to your room too?"
She smiles and lifts her arms in the air. Y/N just simply smiles and picks her up. "Thank you!" she told him.
"It's no problem," he said before entering her room.
Laying her down in the bed, she got comfortable and looked cute since only her head was poking out. "Have a nice night," Y/N told his little sister before kissing her on the forehead.
He begins to walk out, but she grabs his hand. "Huh?" he said before looking at her.
"Y/N, I have a question," she told him.
"What is it?"
"I wanted to know, are you ok?"
"What do you mean?"
"It's just, I see how hard you work. You've been pushing yourself so hard after mom and dad's death. I've even heard you cry at times. I just want to make sure that you're ok."
Y/N ran his fingers through his sister's hair. "Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm just under a lot of stress and it's hard at times trying to take care of y'all."
"Then why don't you let us help you?" his sister suggested.
"What do you mean?" Y/N asked with genuine confusion.
"If you're struggling, we'll gladly help you," she told him. "Well, I'll gladly help you. Especially when I'm older and much stronger!"
"Next time when I cook dinner, I'll let you help me out. How does that sound?" he asked.
"Great!" she answered excitedly.
Head patting her, she says "that's good. Good night."
He left right after kissing her on the forehead. He began walking to his room and while he did, he saw the unchopped wood outside a window. "Ah, I forgot to finish chopping the wood," he said. "Might as well get it done now or I'll never get it done if I put it off."
He walked outside and grabbed an ax. The young man began chopping the wood and started to remember the times he would chop it with his father. As his ax easily cut through it, he started to remember how as a child, his small limbs couldn't even get halfway through.
But now as a 14 year old, he easily slashed through each log that he chopped through. "Dad, I just wished that you could be here to see me now. I know that it's small, but I just wished that you could see me easily able to chop this wood. And mom, I wished you were here too just to see me as the strong young man you always knew I would be."
After finishing his thought, he finished and chopped the last piece of wood. Now done, he turned to the area where his parent's graves were. Planting his ax in the ground, he thought "wouldn't hurt to visit them."
The boy began to jog over to their graves and kneeled to them upon arriving. The boy's feelings were mixed. He was sad to see their graves but also happy that he was there because even though they were six feet under, it still felt as if they were there and Y/N could talk with them.
"Hey, I just wanted to tell you that today was great. It was stress-free and was overall wonderful. I just want to let you two know that I'm keeping my promise and am doing my best to take care of them. I swear, I will never break my promise and make sure that they're all safe," Y/N told his parents.
Once done, he stood up and began walking back to his home. As he neared it, the young man heard screams. The screams of his siblings. "Oh god..." he said as his skin turned pale. "NO!!!!"
He began running as fast as he can back home. Upon arriving, he saw that the door was ripped open. With his mind racing, heart pumping, and adrenaline flowing through his veins, he grabbed his ax and ran into the house.
"Damn it! Damn it!! Damn it!!!" He thought.
He ran into his brother's room and saw one in the ceiling with a part of their head missing and the other missing a part of his chest gone. "Oh god..." Y/N said seeing the gory sight.
He was mortified at seeing his brothers like this. They weren't dying or even looked like they still had some life in them. They were dead. Completely and utterly dead with no chance of ever saving them from the horrible fate they met.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" his sister screamed.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Y/N shouted while running to his sister's room.
He ran in and saw a giant demon with its back turned to him. The beast turned around and showed that it got half of Y/N's sister in its mouth. "Y/N!!!!!!!" the sister screamed before chomping down and leaving Y/N's sister's upper body to fall to the ground.
Time slowed. Y/N couldn't believe it. His entire family was gone now. His promise is broken. The people he cared the most about were killed. He felt nothing at that moment. Sadness quickly filled his very being but it soon turned into rage.
"You... I'm gonna... I'm gonna... I'M GONNA KILL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Y/N shouted from the top of his lungs.
He ran at the demon at full speed and swung his ax while aiming its head. But the demon grabbed the ax and easily broke. Y/N eyes widen at the sight and couldn't believe what just happened.
The heartless beast simply smacks Y/N through a few walls and outside to the cold hard ground. He tried to stand up but couldn't due to the pain he was in. "Come on, I can't die. I have to live!" he thought.
He slowly got on and place one foot on the ground and put his hands on the single knee to push himself up. As he did, an evil aura could be sensed above him. He looked up and saw the demon looking down on him.
"Is this... how it ends?" Y/N thought.
Suddenly, a slash could be heard. The next thing the teenager knew, the demon fell to the ground and began shaking violently, and disappear into nothing. Y/N was confused until he looked forward and saw a lady putting her sword away.
"There we go," she said with a smile.
"Who... who are you?" asked Y/N.
"I'm the woman who just saved your life," she told him.
"That's, uh, not what I-"
"I'm just joking. I'm Shinobu Kocho," she said. "What's your name?"
"I'm... Y/N L/N," he told her.
"Well, Y/N, it's a good thing I came just in time," she said.
"Well, you were actually a little too late," he informed her.
"Hmm?" she turned around and looked at the bloodstains on the wall of the house. "Oh."
Y/N slowly walked to the house and fell to his knees. "That demon... took my only family away," he said as tears streamed down his face.
The teenager felt pyre pain and sadness and gripped at his heart. As he did, he felt a sudden surge of rage. "This world... is infested with these monsters. They are wicked. They are heartless. They are horrible. But I... I will be worse. I will make each demon regret being born. I will make them all disappear! I will rip... and... TEAR!!! Until they are gone."
"In that case, why don't you become a Demon Slayer?" Shinobu suggested.
"Demon Slayer?"
"Yeah, all you need to do is train and then go to Final Selection to become one," she said while reaching into her pocket. She handed him a little map showing where he can go to Final Selection. "Once you've trained, go there to officially become a Demon Slayer."
"Thank... you," he told her.
"My pleasure," she said before turning around. "I wish you the best."
Shinobu proceeds to bolt off and leaves the boy alone. The boy looked at the paper and knew what he had to do. To get revenge on the demons, he would need to train and become strong. To not allow anyone else to feel the pain and sorrow that he has felt.
