A/n: Some info about Miktama before the fic starts!
She's 14, she's a bakeneko yokai, she and her twin brother share the starlight hashira position, she and Mikitamo (her twin brother) were abused by their uncle but Mikitama had it worse since their uncle blamed the death of their aunt on Mikitama, and she's a major sweetheart and she's pretty close with most of the other hashira (Sanemi doesn't like her very much since he considers yokai and demons to be the same thing, but in my au they're different)

Tanjiro hummed happily to himself as he walked through the Starlight Mansion to visit Mikitama since she just got back from a mission a few hours earlier.
His plum red eyes fill with love when he opens her bedroom door to see her curled up on her soft futon, sleeping peacefully.
'Good, she's not having any nightmares..' The redheaded boy thought to himself as he slowly walked to Mikitama's side.
Tanjiro gently rubbed one of her soft ears and his giddy, loving smile grew when soft purrs erupted from Mikitama's chest. "I'm so glad you're safe, angel…" He whispered and laid down next to her then gently pulled her close.
Mikitama's purrs increased and she snuggled closer before yawning softly and waking up with a soft trill. "Mm… Tanji..? When did you get here..?" Her adorable, sleepy voice made Tanjiro chuckle softly as he pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead.
"Hehe.. Just a few minutes ago. I didn't mean to wake you up, I'm sorry, baby." He smiled apologetically down at the small yokai in his arms. "I-it's okay, Tanji…" She responded shyly and Tanjiro chuckled again when she hid her face in his chest.
"You're so cute when you get all shy like this, my beautiful angel.." He started peppering kisses all over Mikitama's already reddened face.
All the young hashira could do was shyly thank Tanjiro as he continued to pamper her with affection.
"Of course, baby. So, how did your mission go?" He gently brushed her hair out of her face so he could admire her beauty while she told him about the events of her mission.
"I got cornered by about… 6 demons while I was coming back, it was crazy..!" She exclaimed and Tanjiro's mouth gaped open. "Wow, 6?! I'm so thankful you're okay, sweetheart!" He held her closer with concern in his eyes as he kissed her forehead.
She nodded and hugged him sleepily as a yawn escaped her mouth.
"Hm.. You can sleep, angel, I don't mind!" Tanjiro smiled reassuringly and Mikitama smiled sleepily and nodded before relaxing into his embrace and letting herself drift off in his arms.
Tanjiro soon fell asleep as well, feeling content with the knowledge that his angel was safe in his embrace.
