Farewells

Summary:

A collection of short drabbles I wrote for prompts regarding 'Farewells'

Include multiple ships (canon/non-canon). The siblings written here are strictly siblings, no incest.

Feel free to skip to the prompt/the character that most interests you.

 

CH 1 "I'll Always Hold A Piece of You With Me Wherever I Go"| Kokushibo to his brother Yoriichi

CH 2 "Parts of Me Remind Me of You" | Sanemi to his brother Genya

CH 3 "It Will Always Be You" | Iguro Obanai x Kanroji Mitsuri

CH 4 "I Don't Regret Anything That Happened" | Rengoku Kyoujuro (to Tanjiro, or anyone who loves him)

CH 5 "We Were So Close To Forever" | Yorrichi x Uta

CH 6 "I'm Going To Miss You" | Michikatsu's Wife

Notes:

Kokushibo here feels remorse and shame for what he did, what he had become.

I know his character may not seem like that to some.
But at least to me, I feel like deep down, although he envied and hated Yoriichi, he had that love for him, despite everything. If there was no fraction of humanity, a part of the big brother he was before, and the ability to feel regret left, why would he shed tears before he disintegrated?

Take it with a grain of salt haha.

Chapter 1: I'll Always Hold A Piece of You With Me Wherever I Go | Kokushibo

Chapter Text

 

It was just a flute, crudely carved.
Only as an act of sympathy did I give it to you.
Yet you cherished it.

 

Even in the days when I turned my back to walk the path of Night, you kept it.

 

Even when you learned of the horrors that I committed, you kept it close.

 

Under the shadow of the moon, you knew your fate. Still you came; still you kept it.

 

I don't know why I picked it up.
It should have no meaning to me—except reminding me of the shame I had borne all my life.
I don't know why I still have it.

 

I should hate you. A part of me does.

The hatred does not go away. It clings to me, like a shadow of myself I can't rid myself off.

 

You and I were born together.

So maybe a part of you will always be with me, just as how a part of me had always stayed with you.

 

Maybe, just maybe, I'll always hold a piece of you with me wherever I go.

 

But I'm sorry, Yoriichi. Not this time.

 

I'm going to hell, and I can't bring you with me.
