Chapter 1
Reader's POV
~ Flashback ~
It was late night when everything happened, I remember yawning and stretching, getting up from my bed to get a glass of cold water downstairs, about 10:45PM when I had gone down to grab and drink the water downstairs and bring it up, it was 10:55PM, mulling up the the fact that yes, demon slayer did have a "bitter sweet" ending, it was still painful and sad to see so many pillars die, but it was all also so sweet and happy that they got to reconcile with the people they were with before becoming said demon slayers. feeling dissatisfied of how some events that had happened, i checked my phone to see what time it was reading 11:09PM,
"maybe i could still stay up and read some demon slayer fanfics, hehe"
after searching and browsing through quotev, seemingly already tired of staying up so late and binge reading "Demon slayer" I checked the time and saw it was 11:11PM, yawning and turning in the bed, I remember mockingly wishing while looking out the window,
" If anyone's really out there, I wish i could be cliched into 'demon slayer', not that it would happen anyway"
And everything turned black.

Reader's POV
“you…-ok-…”
It’s so cold . . . I could have sworn that I closed the window when I slept last night . . .
“miss pl- . . . wa.. u.! are you . ok-“
Whose shaking me? God, I can’t feel my fingers, reaching up to rub my eyes and peek, only to be blinded by the sun, wait… the sun?
opening my eyes fully and looking around, seeing I’m in a forest covered in snow, I look down at myself to see I was in the same clothes I wore when I went out to get groceries for the week, faded black jeans, white tank top and oversized navy hoodie, soaked wet by the melted snow, looking up at the person who was holding me at the shoulder, I see the last person I didn’t expect to see.
Long maroon hair tied in a ponytail, soaked pants and haori, warm and gentle maroon eyes of the one and only, Tanjiro Kamado…
“this can’t be real…” still staring at the Tanjiro look alike, I began to pinch my arm despite freezing my feet and hands off
“miss please stop! Are you alright? You were passed out by the road to the village, do you need help?” grabbing my hands Tanjiro as Tanjiro spoke, I only continued to stare at him, letting everything sink in, feeling the cold biting at my hands, feet and face, the lingering pain of me pinching my arm repeatedly.
“oh god. . . I’m in Demon slayer. . . “
Tanjiro’s POV
“um.., miss are you alright?” I asked the foreign looking woman again as I gently shook her, still holding her hands from hurting her.
A minuet had passed and the woman hasn’t moved from the spot she was sitting from, I caught a whiff of panic and confusion coming off of her so I quickly ushered her up from the snow covered ground and wrapped my arm around her leading her to the house,
“I’m sorry miss, but the suns about to go down and the snow’s going to get harsher I’m pretty sure where your going is far but you can stay with us for the time being”
Guiding her to walk to the direction of the house I dust off the remaining snow on her, asking questions along the way, not getting responses back but, a confused stare and a tilt of her head, it didn’t bother me in the me in a bad way, only caused concern if she was in shock and worry if she even knew how to speak in Japanese.
Walking to the front of the house I called out,
“I’m back everyone!”
Reader’s POV
Hearing the shoji doors of the house slam open my eyes widen to see the family of the well and alive family of Tanjiro Kamado, Shigeru and Rokuta ran to Tanjiro’s legs and hugged him, making me take a step back and stare at the happy display.
“their still alive, its so nice to actually see him happy with his entire family and not work so hard…”
“Shigeru, Rokuta! don’t run outside its cold and wet you could get sick! Welcome back Tanjiro” looking away from the heart warming display, I see Rei Kamado, wiping her hands at her apron looking happily at her children
“oh! Hello! who might you be miss?” Rei asks and looks back at me, giving a warm smile.
It seemed to be the last thing I remembered before hearing a bunch of panicked yells and then black out once again.
