Not me forgetting to post a chapter-
I APOLOGIZE FRIENDS
This chapter isn't edited as most are now, sorry :)
-.-.-<3-.-.-
Sora looked at everyone as they fought, watching them get hit with some kind of tentacle extruding from Muzans back. She tried helping them, but ended up passing right through them. She couldn't speak, all she could really do was hear what people were saying.
After a couple attempts of trying to help, Sora gave up. Instead of wasting her time trying to get their attention, she needed to figure out the point of this all. There is always a point as to why she was in these kinds of scenarios, whether that be some kind of lesson, or something she needs to know.
She looked around, examining her surroundings with more detail. It looked to be an average town or city, but it was destroyed. Most likely from their fight with Muzan.
She then looked at who was fighting. Lower grade slayers were there, including Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu. But Nezuko was nowhere to be found, neither was her box.
What caught her attention was the fact that some were missing. Shinobu, Muichiro, and Genya were nowhere to be seen. Sora looked around everywhere, and they were the only ones missing. Tengen was also not there, but that was expected, given the situation he was caught in a bit ago.
It took her a couple of minutes to realize this vision she was in, was the future currently. All of the people missing from the groups fighting Muzan were all dead.
Sora tried her best to not let it get to her as she focused on everyone and the hits they were taking. If this was the future, then she would be able to pay close attention to the attack patterns of Muzan and deflect them so no one would get hit fatally.
She watched everyones hits, taking mental notes as to where they were hit and how hard. Sora made sure she didn't miss anyone, catching every hit and blow they took.
It was a lot to take in, seeing all her friends getting hit. She wanted to jump in and help so desperately, but the fact she wasn't able to touch anything or speak got in the way.
-
Dawn hit, and they finally won. Sora was tired and her head hurt from all the memorizing, but she smiled knowing they would win in the future. Even if she had to go through the pain of seeing everyone die, she still smiled. She will save them all.
He smile didn't stay long when she saw something she never wanted to see. Her heart dropped as she saw Tanjiro, in a demon form.
Before she could get a better look, she felt the cold creep up on her. She was going back now, even if she needed to stay. Sora had no choice in the matter of how long she got to stay in these dream like places.
Sora wasn't in the black liquid for long, because Giyu had been monitoring her ever since she detached.
Her eyes opened, seeing Giyu on her right side. He has a sort of panicked look on his face, but it relaxed when Sora smiled. Though, the smile was weaker. She had been in there for too long and now her head was pounding. She placed a hand over her eyes, hoping blocking the light out would help relieve the headache.
Eventually the headache died down a bit, and she was able to take her hand off her eyes. Giyu had been looking at her nervously, afraid she was hurt. He knew that if Sora got hurt in his care Sanemi would have his head. Possibly Obanai too, as he cared a lot for Sora as well.
"How long was i out?" Sora asked, sitting up. Giyu scooted back a bit to give her space, thinking of how long he had been sitting there.
"I believe about 30 minutes at least." He answered, and Sora nodded. She tried getting up, but Giyu stopped her. "Koi told us not to let you move around too much if you are out for more than 15 minutes. Its a safety precaution."
"Of course he did.." Sora mumbled, laying back down on the floor. "Could you get me a notebook and pen from my study please? Seeing as i cant move around, it would help a lot."
Giyu nodded, standing up and making his way to Soras study. He returned a moment later, a notebook and pen in his hand. Sora thanked him and took the items as Giyu sat back down beside her.
She started scribbling whatever she had memorized in her vision, drawing rough diagrams and lists quickly. She would have time to correct them and make them look more manageable later on.
Giyu just watched her, unable to see what she was writing, but still intrigued. She looked very focused on whatever she was writing down, and he was itching to see what it could be.
Eventually Sora sighed and closed the notebook, placing it down on the floor to her left. She stretched out her arms, looking outside. It seemed to be close dinner time, and she didn't have an idea as to what Giyu would want.
"When will i be able to get up again? I have things that need to be done." Sora asked, and Giyu sighed lightly.
"I suppose you could now, but you have to be careful and sit down if you get dizzy." He said, and Sora chuckled. He was treating her like she was dying.
-
Sora had heard Tengen and the others had been brought to the butterfly estate earlier that night, and she was nervous.
"Its almost 5am, why are you awake?" Giyu asked, still tired. It was really early in the morning, and he wasn't fully awake yet.
"Tengen was brought to the butterfly estate a couple hours ago, and im nervous.." Sora mumbled, pacing. Giyu sighed, before getting an idea. He stood up, making his way to the kitchen.
A little time passed, and Giyu placed something at the table. He called Sora over, and she entered with a confused look on her face. She spotted her favourite snack on the table, and she smiled thankfully.
She and Giyu sat at the table, eating the food he had whipped together quickly. He was a decent cook, and Sora was sort of surprised. He never really seemed like the cooking type, but she wasn't one to judge. It was delicious, and it calmed her nerves like he had intended.
"This isn't the ideal food to eat for breakfast, but i assume it helped calm your nerves?" He asked, helping Sora wash the dishes in the kitchen. She nodded, finishing up the last of the dirty dishes.
The two of them left the kitchen and Sora went to sit outside, Giyu following behind her. They sat on the deck, watching the stars slowly fade away into the sunrise. The dark blue faded in with the orange and pink hues, making the sky look like a rainbow.
"Did you get any sleep?" Giyu asked suddenly, breaking the silence. Sora wanted to lie and say she did, but she couldn't bring herself to it.
"No, i was working on something for most of the night.." Sora answered after a moment, recalling what she had been doing. She had tidied up her notes and whatnot about the final fight with Muzan, and she didn't have much time to sleep. Giyu sighed, but didn't say anything.
They sat in silence once more; but it wasn't awkward. It was soothing, staring at the sky as the sun rose. The wind was light and barely there, but it carried the scent of blood, breaking the calm silence. Both slayers looked at each other, and Giyu got up.
"You stay here, your hand is still healing." He said, entering the estate and stepping back outside a moment later with his sword. Sora sighed, setting her chin on her hand while watching as Giyu glanced back at her once more before sprinting off towards the smell.
Sora looked at her palm, unwrapping the bandages slowly and looking at the stitches. It was healing really well, and the cut looked disgusting, but she still couldn't use the hand too much.
If she wanted to use the full extent of rainbow breathing, she would need custom gloves made to protect her hand.
A little while passed, and Giyu finally returned. The sun had risen, the orange glow settling over his dark hair as he made his way up the steps to the rainbow estate. Sora had stayed seated where she had been before he left, just enjoying the sunrise.
"What happened?" Sora asked, as Giyu sat back down beside her. He rested his sword to the left of him, leaning back on the palms of his hands.
"It was just an accident; a little girl had fallen from a tree while trying to grab something and she got cut up pretty badly. I assisted her back home, she is fine now." Giyu said, and Sora nodded. It wasn't a demon attack, which is good. If it was, they would need to sweep the whole forest around the estates to make sure no one would get hurt.
Unlike the other estates, Soras home wasn't fully surrounded by wisteria trees. She did have a couple of them, but it didn't stretch around fully. Normally, Sora would be able to get rid of the demons, or Koi would as well.
"You should get some rest." Giyu said, getting up. Sora got up as well, following him into the estate. He was right, and Sora was getting pretty tired.
"Goodnight- er.. yeah. Goodnight, Tomioka." Sora smiled, and Giyu nodded with a slight smile tugging at his lips.
