"𝐏𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧, 𝐙𝐚𝐤𝐢! 𝐏𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧, 𝐧𝐨𝐰!" ¹
her voice echoed through the Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters then, how many knew that she was being 'tormented' by the Shadow Hashira once more. The ever so positive and kind Light Hashira had one weakness.
And that was how Akane Haizaki often got on her nerve most of the time, despite them being good friends. They were there for one another, even if one is on the verge of death due to a cold, but their time spent together often results in them fighting with one another.
Bickering, hurling of insults. Yet, Haizaki continued to tease her, and she, being the dense idiot, didn't know about his feelings for her. How he would make remarks about him wanting to make her his wife, and she would often retort with 'sure, when?' but she never knew those words he said were true.
"Now, little one. Did your heart flutter when I carried you out of your estate?" he teased once more and she let out a sigh then, smacking his hand away as she narrowed her eyes at him. Tiptoeing as she jabbed her finger against his toned chest.
"One more time, Zaki, I'll make sure you won't have any descendants," she pointed out and Haizaki blinked his dark blue ocean eyes a few times, and a smirk appeared on his face then as he grabbed hold of her wrist, pulling her up, with his arm wrapped around her waist, hugging her closer.
"Is that so, angel?" he asked, and [name] swore she could feel her heart about to explode as she managed to shove him away just as the other Hashiras arrived, shaking their heads at what was going on before them.
"Are you flirting with [name] again?" Tengen asked and Haizaki could only then shrugged his shoulders as [name] shrugged her shoulders as well.
"[name] really is fucking dense," Sanemi muttered out to Obanai who nodded his head in response. Time and time again, the 21-year-old gang, including Giyuu, would often watch as the tallest of them suffer as the Light Hashira being dense.
Yet, it was amusing to watch her and the Shadow Hashira bicker over little things. Being whether Haizaki had spoken about how she may have snored during their mission, or him eating her meat bun.
It was always amusing, yet, it was somehow irritating as [name] would unknowingly play along with Haizaki's flirting techniques, and hence the Shadow Hashira often excused himself from speaking to her as he needed to hide his blushing face.
"Why are you bullying [name] again?" Shinobu asked as she helped to pat the dust off of [name]'s skirt and [name] flashed her a gentle smile then, before shooting a slight glare to the Shadow Hashira who held his hands up in defence.
"She was going to be late for our mission," he spoke out flatly.
"She slept like a log if she continued I might end up craw-," and [name] smacked him in the stomach to prevent him from continuing with his sentence, and he could only chuckle then, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Well, if someone didn't arrive late last night and made me eat at such a late timing, I would have woken up on time!" she snapped and Haizaki raised an eyebrow in response.
"Oh, so you wanted to see me much earlier? You could have said so, princess," he teased and [name] rolled her eyes as she shoved him aside with much difficulty, quickly walking away as a slight blush appeared on her cheek.
"Over my dead body!" she snapped and Haizaki shrugged his shoulders as the Hashiras looked at him, whereas he could only then flash a charming smile and turn, walking away.
"Hey! Wait up for me! Your legs are short, so don't bother running away, I can still catch up to you, my love!" he teased once more and [name] could only let out a huff then as she quickly started to run away.
"I have a bad feeling..." Himejima whispered out as he placed his large hands together and started to mumble soft prayers, mostly in regards to [name]'s safety.
"Hey, [name]! Hey! Don't leave me behind!" Haizaki called out and [name] could only let out a sigh as she continued to run, yet, her eyes widened as he easily scooped her up in his arms and carried her bridal style.
"Got you," he spoke out, and [name] could only let out a sigh then.
"What are you trying to do, Zaki?" she asked and his dark blue ocean eyes blinked a few times as his lips curled up into a smile then.
"Carrying you like how I would carry you on our first night as a married couple," he answered and [name] could only then frown as she hit him on the back of the head, whereas he had on a slight pout then.
"Who wants to marry you? Not me," she muttered out as the veins on the back of her neck were bulging as she tried to keep her cool. He let out a sigh then as he placed her down with ease after running a long path.
"Well then, maybe you will in the future?" he teased and soon pecked her on the cheek, where she turned and smacked him this time with her nichirin blade instead.
"Zaki!" she scolded and Haizaki stuck his tongue out in response, something she would often bicker him about was the way he acted. But then again, she had seen his cool side before and couldn't help but let it go then.
"Idiot," she muttered out as she took a step forward, and soon she felt a muscular arm wrapped around her waist, tugging her back and that's when she realized she nearly bumped into a tree.
"Who's the idiot now?" he asked, and [name] smacked him once more which he could only chuckle at her reaction, dodging it with ease did his dark blue ocean eyes narrowed dangerously.
"Woah!" [name] called out as she took a step backwards, only to end up falling into a hole. Haizaki's eyes widened as he reached out to her, grabbing hold of her hand, yet he felt something pushing him from the back.
"Hey! What gives?!" he yelled out and he pulled [name] closer to him as they fell into the hole together, where he wrapped an arm around her waist and the other hand was placed on the back of her head.
"Where is this going to take us to?" [name] asked, slightly worried.
"Don't worry about it, I'm here with you," he whispered out as he held onto her tightly, and somehow he was rather surprised then that she held onto him as well.
Not like she could hold onto anything else in the first place.
"Careful!" he called out as he managed to turn their body in time and ended up with him landing on his back while [name] landed on him instead. They groaned in response to the pain, yet, they realized how cold it was.
Their eyes widened as they noticed how the place was filled with snow, and [name] tugged onto Haizaki's haori harshly, which he then looked at what she was pointing at. His dark blue ocean eyes widened then as what was before them.
Was his estate that he lives in.
He then heard [name] sniffling, quickly removing his haori did he drape it over her body. He placed an arm across her shoulder, pulling her closer for some warmth as they took a step forward, only for them to hear the sound of laughter.
And it was children's laughter.
"Haruki! Hanami! Hazuki! Don't play in the snow for too long, okay?" and Haizaki's eyes widened as he turned to look at [name].
"Isn't that you?" he asked, and [name] slowly nodded her head as she looked at who had come out from the estate, and it was indeed her. A much older version of her, and then she quickly pulled Haizaki away as she heard footsteps.
"Oh, look who is back!" the older [name] called out and [name] along with Haizaki turned as they hid around the corner, watching as an older Haizaki appeared, walking back to the estate.
"Papa! Welcome home, papa!" the children called out and [name] along with Haizaki's eyes could only widen then as they realized what was going on.
They were brought to the future.
"Welcome home, Zaki," the older [name] called out and the older Haizaki chuckled, kissing her on the lips and soon kissed his children on their forehead. [name] swallowed the lump in her throat then, only to have Haizaki covering her mouth as the older Haizaki turned to look at their direction.
"Give me a moment, love," the older Haizaki spoke out and his wife nodded her head as he brought out his nichirin blade. Haizaki then swallowed the lump in his throat as he easily pulled [name] back against the wall harshly, only to bump against it.
And the snow that was collected at the top, fell upon them.
The older Haizaki then frowned, when he saw how the snow had fallen from the roof. He used his nichirin blade and picked the snow, only to notice nothing within it.
"T-That was close," Haizaki called out as he carried [name] in his arms and continued to run through the forest that he was all too familiar with since it was surrounding the estate he lives in. He then noticed how [name] remained silent as she continued to clutch onto his uniform tightly.
And the next step he took, they fell into a hole again.
And everything went blank.
➳
He frowned as the sunlight hit his face directly. Slowly opened his dark blue ocean eyes did he looked around and quickly sat up, realizing where he was. He then turned to look, noticing how [name] too was in a hospital bed.
Resting in the Butterfly Estate.
"I see you idiots decide to fucking wake up," Sanemi's voice was heard and he was soon pushed aside by Tengen and the other Hashiras as they piled into the room while Shinobu and Aoi started to check on them.
"How did we get here?" [name] and Haizaki asked at the same time.
"It was a simple mission of killing a demon that isn't part of the 12 Moons, yet you guys didn't return for three days. We went out to find you, now thank me, flamboyantly," Tengen spoke out and Haizaki rolled his eyes then, and soon he turned to look at [name].
Noticing how her cheeks were slightly red then.
"Right... You remember what happened, right?" he asked, and [name] quickly avoided eye contact whereas Haizaki chuckled in response, turning his entire body to face her did he have no shame as he spoke.
"𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞, 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐮𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐮𝐧 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐦𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨, [𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞]," ²
he spoke out and [name]'s flushed red then as she quickly scurried off from the bed and pushed past all the Hashiras despite them telling her that she needed to rest. Her cheeks flushed red then and the Hashiras could only turn to look at Haizaki.
Asking what was going on.
"Ah... We saw something beautiful," he whispered out as he started to speak about what they had seen in the future and the Hashiras could only frown and then chuckle, which none of them realises how Mitsuri had snuck off.
"SOMEONE, ANYONE! IGURO-SAN, PLEASE STOP MITSURI FROM CHASING AFTER ME!"
"MOU! [NAME]! TELL ME ABOUT THE FUTURE YOU SAW! I WANT TO KNOW HOW YOU FEEL!"
"SEND HELP!"
And in the timeframe where the duo had seen the older version of themselves, the older Haizaki could only wrap his arms around his wife then and kissed her on the cheek as they watched their children play in the snow.
"𝐈 𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐬... 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧'𝐭 𝐫𝐮𝐧 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐚𝐥𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐮𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞," ³
and his wife could only as she planted a kiss on his lips, where he smirked at as he deepened the kiss, causing her to flush red then. Yet, all she felt was love and despite being quite dense still, she continued to love with all her heart.
