The demon Hashira

Giyu's POV

It hurt, it hurts so much I cannot even will myself to move, I had trained and broke my body for year even then the pain cannot compare to this. My body is refusing to listen to me because of how excruciating the pain is, it's like moving will fire the feeling through my nerves once more. Am I really dying like this, I do not want to die, not yet, not until I have avenged my sister's death, not till I have rid the world of demons. If I die like this who will pick up after my weakness?

Wait who? Who am I avenging again? My sister did I have such a thing? I do not know anything but the darkness and cold cold that is eating away at my body. Why am I against dying anyway, if I die the pain can end and I can rest maybe I will be warm once I die.

" Giyu? Giyu? " Who is that, I cannot tell but the voice why is it so relaxing and warm I want to hear it again. " Come on Giyu wake up or I will not be cooking any salmon daikon this week. "

My eyes snapped open to the bright light assaulting them and the pain ringing in my head. It took a little while but my eyes adjusted and I was sitting in a small room, there was light but it seemed a little poor in upkeep.

" Jeez, are you finally awake? " That voice I recognise it, I look infront of me and there I see someone who makes my tears well up.

" Nee-san? " Ah right I remember this room, I could never forget this was the house my sister raised me in, the house she died in. As I was drifting off into my thoughts a finger flicked my head bringing me back to reality. I looked ahead and saw my smiling sister, her black hair was shining in the sunlight and eyes shone with both joy and mischief. ' was my sister always this beautiful? Then again she was to be married so it's a testament to her charms. '

" How long are you gonna sit there spaced out? We do not have that much time you know. " Tsutako spoke with a sweet voice before she settled back in front of me.

" Nee-san. I missed you so much. " I said practically lunging into her arms I could feel my tears practically gushing down my face. I didn't want to stop I couldn't be strong anymore.

" There there Giyu, it is alright, you have been doing so well and you have been so strong. I am proud of you, though only momentarily I got to meet you. " I remember this warmth the way she soothed me whenever I was fussy, my sister raised me with love and care so much so that I never asked for or missed my parents.

After a while off crying I finally let go and looked up at my sister her smile was a bit sad but still there. She placed her palm on my cheek and brought me close to her, our foreheads resting on each other.

" Oh my dear little brother, you have been through so much and endured even more. It will only get harder for you so please do not ever give up. " I was confused at what she was saying was not this the after life, am I not dead how can things be harder for me. Her other hand placed itself on my chest and I felt a warm sensation pass over it. " Just remember Giyu it is this little thing here that decides who you are. Please live happily and smile more for me. When we meet again can you tell me all about your life. "

" Nee-san? What are you talking about? I am here right now cannot I stay here? " She simply smiled and shook her head and that was when I noticed the walls cracking and the light intensifying. I wanted to ask what was happening but my mouth stayed shut.

" I love you so much Giyu. " What all I could here before the light blinded me and took over my body. " Remember who you Giyu Tomioka. "

" Nee-san. " I suddenly called out and opened my eyes. I met with the blinding light of a ceiling light and silence. My eyes darted around and I found I was in a medical bed, I have been enough to know, strange though I cannot recall being in a bed like this. Hold on I do not recall anything my head feels fuzzy and it hurts. " Why am I yelling? Who am I? Where am I? "
