"As you may have heard, we have a new Hashira. Please make her feel welcome. L/N if you could please introduce yourself." he said softly.

I knelt down

"Please call me Y/N." I stood up. I took a deep breath.

"I am Y/N L/N. I am a moon breathing user. I hope I can get along with all of you. Thank you."

I bowed and sat back down

"Well, I will let ya'll be and no fighting. Please be nice to her Iguro and Sanemi, make her feel welcome" He spoke softly. His voice is so soothing.

Both Sanemi and Obanai glanced over at me with a glare.

"Y/N!" Rengoku hugged me tightly.

"Congratulations! I knew you had it in you" he said proudly

I hugged him back

"It's all because of you Kyojuro. Thank you, I am grateful for you" I softly spoke to him

Our hug soon broke apart. Uzui Tengen joined the hug by getting between us. Then Mitsuri joined.

I can feel all eyes on us. I bet the other Hashiras are cringing hella hard right now.

"L/N?" I heard Shinobu trying to get my attention.

I pull away from the hug and turn to her.

"Feels good having another girl around here, you know. I'm happy for you. Also I will be giving you your uniform. Your sword will be delivered to your estate tomorrow morning. I would also like you to meet one of my butterfly girls. She'll be the one treating your wounds if you are ever injured. After this meeting, some Kakushis will accompany you to your estate."

Shinobu gave me all the information I needed.

"Thank you. Shinobu"

I felt a tap on my shoulder.

"I'm sure you haven't met everyone" Mitsuri said

She then pulled me to where the other Hashiras were.

"This is Gyomei. This is Giyuu. This is Muichiro and those two over there are Sanemi and Obanai"

Mitsuri introduced me to them.

"Pleased to meet all of you. Please call me Y/N."

I heard someone scoff.

"I bet you defeated the weakest demon" Obanai said tauntingly

"She won't make it far in testing" Sanemi added

"Testing?" I didn't know there was a test

"As soon as you receive your sword, you will be ordered to return to headquarters. All the Hashiras will be there." Obanai replied.

"We will have speed, strength, swordsmanship, flexibility, durability, stamina, etc. And to end it off, we will have a 1v1 battle," Sanemi added.

They definitely made me feel welcome.

My sword will arrive tomorrow morning. I'm already getting nervous.

"She's already nervous." Obanai pointed out while Sanemi laughed at this.

No. I will prove them wrong. I hate it when people hate for no particular reason. They always bring other people down. Why? Cause they are insecure. I'll show both of them tomorrow.

I left the meeting storming. Right when I was about to head back I heard someone call my name. It was Gyomei.

"L/N?"

"Please call me Y/N"

"Here, come sit next to me"

"Those two may seem harsh at first, but I promise you that they are not bad people. Sanemi didn't like me at first, and I disliked how he treated our master. Sooner or later he'll learn how to respect. I am glad to have you as part of the Demon Slayer Corps. I can tell just by looking at you, you'll make a fine swordsman. You are a hard-working worker. I bet Rengoku is proud. I would have been too. Anyway, I'm sure you'll do just fine tomorrow. Also if they ever give you a hard time just let me know, I will take care of it." He assured me and stood.

He helped me get up.

"Your kakushis are here kiddo." He patted my head and I waved him goodbye.

"What a beautiful soul"

"You do know he is blind, right?" One of the kakushis informed me.

... I had no clue

"What the... Now that I think about it, that makes sense."

"...well here we are" another Kakushi spoke

"Wow. I think that was my first time saying wow but damn. This place is big. Looks like Mark Twain's house."

The Kakushis took me in and showed me around. I was told where all the bedrooms were, bathrooms, and everything. The house came with a picturesque garden and a very impressive training area. They also told me about the butterfly girl's name. Miki. I will meet her in a couple of days.

As much as I love this place. I feel more comfortable living at Kyojuro's place. It feels like home, but I'll just spend the night here. I wonder what he's doing right now.
