"Caw all Hashira's report to headquarters Caw" the crow said landing on the window sill of the estate, Yue sighed softly as her eyes fluttered open and saw Kyojuro still in a deep sleep. She smiled lightly watching his chest rise and fall, his hair was untied all spread over the pillow his arm wrapped around her waist. Kyojuro slept like a rock.. nothing could wake him up which is why he resulted to little to no rest during missions.
"Kyo" she whispered giving him a little push, he groaned softly and snuggled closer to her not wanting to get up.
"Kyoooo" Yue said dragging out the 'o'.
"Hmm?" His eyes opened slightly to look at the girl.
"You have to get up and head to headquarters" she said trying to get up but he wrapped his arms tightly around her to prevent her from getting up.
"Kyo, come on" she said kissing his forehead but he didn't let go.
"Let's just stay in bed pretty girl" he said as he rolled over so he was on top of her, his hands on either side of her head so he could lift himself up and not crush her with his weight.
"K-Kyo the master could be coming today" she stuttered as he lowered his head and kiss her neck causing the girl to shiver under his touch. Kyojuro lightly chuckled at her reaction.
"You're right snowflake, today must be the annual meeting" he replied giving her a kiss on the lips. She pouted slightly when he pulled away and got up helping her up as well. They both got dressed, he wore his demon slayer corps uniform and she decided to wear a pink and purple flower Yukata. She wanted to dress nicely since there's a good chance she'll be seeing Oyakata-Sama later today as well. Kyojuro sat at the edge of the futon and tied half his hair up and left the rest down as usual, Yue sat behind him tracing the kanji word "destroy" on his back as his Haori was still draped over the nightstand. Once he finished his hair, he stood up and wrapped his Haori around his shoulders.
'I wonder how he keeps that on his shoulders'
"I better head out snow flake, I'll come visit you later, I promise" Kyojuro said giving the girl a hug and a single kiss.
"I love you" he whispered to her and she smiled lightly.
"I love you too now go before you're late" Yue pushed Kyojuro out of the room, he waved to her before leaving the estate and heading over to headquarters.

Yue sat by the estate near a pond filled with Koi fish with lilacs and dragon flowers around her. The Koi fish pond was her favorite spot to sit at, you can almost always find her here. She had her Yukata on with her sword on her hip, even though it was day time and no demons would be on the hunt for her, she's still paranoid from her last encounter with a demon. She sat in front of the pond, dipping her hand allowing the Koi fish to swim up and gently rub their bodies against her hand. She smiled lightly at the scene. She didn't know what they would be talking about in the annual meeting but she sure did miss Kyojuro.
She looked up towards the trail that led to the estate and saw two Kakushi's. The male was carrying a boy while the female was carrying a box. The two kept yelling at the boy for being disrespectful to the Hashira's. She tilted her head in confusion as they walked by her. They didn't notice her from her Yukata that matched the plants in the area. She slowly got up shaking off her wet hand before following the Kakushi's. The boy must be injured if they are taking him to the estate.
As she walked passed the gates she saw the two nurses trying to talk to Kanao who just smiled at the two. Yue giggled lightly going up to the Kakushi.
"She doesn't talk much" Yue said standing behind Kanao. The male nurse tilted his head in confusion.
"And who are you?. We need to speak to someone who works here" The male said making Yue ruffle her eyesbrows in confusion as to why he doesn't know her. The female nurse turned her head and her eyes widened running going up to the male and placing a hand on his mouth.
"Are you insane! That's Lord Kyojuro significant other and Lord Tomioka's cousin, I'm sorry for his outburst Lady Yue" the women said bowing causing the males eyes to widen.
"I-I'm sorry Lady Yue. Please forgive me" the male said bowing as the boy in his arms was confused about the respect she gets as she wasn't a Hashira.
"It's fine. come inside, I'll direct you to Aoi-San who will take care of this boy" Yue said placing her hands inside the sleeves of her Yukata, walking into the building with the two behind her.
"Aoi-San.. please help this boy, it appears his jaw is broken" Yue said looking at the boy who looked exhausted.
"My name is Tanjiro" he replied and Yue smiled.
"So it speaks. Well Tanjiro-Kun you are in great hands" Yue smiled as the Kakushi took Tanjiro into a room, Aoi following shutting the door. Yue turned around only to be face to face with Kyojuro. She jumped in fear placing a hand over her heart.
"Kyo! You scared me" she said lightly slapping his chest. He smiled and chuckled bringing her into his embrace.
"So it seems like I still need to work on my hello" he said. Yue pulled away smiling at Kyojuro.
"Let's go back to my room and you can tell me how the meeting went" Yue said grabbing Kyojuro hand pulling him towards her room.
~~
"Your cousin allowed a demon slayer to travel along with a demon" the Flame Hashira first said when she shut the door.
'Ah so that's why he's here'
"I saw him, the Kakushi brought him earlier. For some reason the male Kakushi was being disrespectful to me as he didn't know who I was" Yue said not meaning to say the last part out loud.
"Do you want me to go say something to him?" Kyojuro asked his eyebrows ruffling.
"Ah no, he apologized. I still don't see why I must need respect, I have yet to defeat a twelve Kizuki." Yue said flopping down on her bed.
"And I've been meaning to talk to you about that, i have a mission coming up. Over 40 people have disappeared on the Mugen Train, Oyakata-Sama has requested that I go and investigate it" he said sitting on the edge of her bed.
"Could it be a twelve Kizuki?" She asked and he nodded his head causing her to close her eyes sighing. She got anxious whenever he went on these missions, afraid she'll never see him again. Ofcourse there's nothing she can do as his job was to put himself on the line to save people.
"When do you leave?" She asked as she felt Kyojuro place his hand on her leg.
"You mean, when do we leave" he corrected her causing her to open her eyes and stare at his.
"We?" She questioned sitting up.
"Master allowed me to bring a Demon Slayer with me and Ofcourse I couldn't pass up taking my girl with me. I'll protect you with my life" he said,
"But with our last encounter with a Kizuki, are you sure that's a good idea Kyo?" She asked and he sighed trying to forget those moments.
"I know snow flake but I think you coming with me would be a great experience for you as you want to become a Hashira, plus it gives me an excuse to see your face" he smiled and she smiled softly.
"Okay, I'll go with you Kyo.. when do we leave?" She asked.
"In a couple of days and since it's a mission, you have to wear your uniform pretty girl, not some Yukata although you do look amazing in them" Kyo said whispering the last part as he wrapped his arm around her waist pulling her close so their noses were touching.
"K-Kyo-Sama" she stuttered her face heating up.
"I love when you say my name" he whispered back to her, closing the gap between the two kissing her gently. His hand rubbed her back as she wrapped her arms around his neck. She pulled back slightly and leaned her forehead on his.
"You know how to catch a girls heart" she said laughing softly as her blushed face cooled down.
"Only for you pretty girl"
