I look behind to find the familiar Ravended hair, it was Tomioka who was holding Sanemi's wrist. I was confused for a moment, what was he doing? Did he came back for anything??? Did he heard us?
Sanemi turned his head towards him, he gritted his teeth :"OI! THE HELL YOU ARE DOING RAT FACE!!" He tried to free himself from Tomioka's grip.
Giyuu still looking at him with an emotionless face, he didn't care talking back to him. still silent, but what Giyuu doesn't know is that his silence and calm provoke Sanemi even more.
"OI YOU BASTARD,ARE U TRYING TO PUT A SHOW HERE?GET OUT OF HERE YOU USELESS DEPRESSED LONELY WATER BOY!"
Finally Giyuu decided to talk, and we wish he never did:"I am not depressed".
Both me and Sanemi looked at him with doted eyes.
"Your voices are too loud, and you are hurting a girl".
Soon Sanemi removed his hand from my collar and turned his attention to Giyuu.
"Oh I see now! YOU ARE TRYING TO ACT LIKE A HERO HERE! YOU TWO ARE THE MOST SHAMEFUL HASHIRA!TOO WEAK THAT YOU LET THAT DISGUSTING DEMON GILR CONTROLS YOUR SHITTY BRAINS!".
Sanemi pulled Giyuu's collar and looked at him with great hatred and signs of frightening anger on his face. As for Giyuu, he was not showing any emotions as if he did not care if this monster in front of him was going to kill him.
"Now You have two options, you idiot. Either leave as if you saw nothing, or your death will be on the line!". He soon pulled his sword.
"I am not going to attack you".Giyuu said simply.
Sanemi smirked:"Oh really! Because I will enjoy crushing you!" And before he could do anything I quickly punched his back from behind sending him flying towards the wall.
"UAAAAAGH!YOU HOE!".
I squeezed my eyes and looked at him with full hatred, he got the nerve , and someone needs to put him into his place.
"You have no right to judge me or Tomioka san for whatever we did, and yes we protected that demon with our life, and we are proud of that. And another thing .... ..DON'T YOU EVER STEP ANY CLOSER TO ME!DISGUSTING ANIMAL! "
I looked at him with a disgusted face, then turned to Giyuu, I quickly grabbed his hand.
"I don't want to stay around this trash, let's leave.".
"COME BACK AND FIGHT ME YOU COWARD!" But we ignore him....
Quickly we started running faster and dragging him along side.
Both Tomioka and (y/n) disappeared , leaving the wind hashira burning with his rage. Soon we arrived to clear area near the butterfly estate.
While I was panting:"UUG what a idiot,Giyuu san what were you doing? I thought you left".
He looked at me with his mesmerizing blue eyes:"I was about to left but I heard your voices".
This is really embarrassed, did he heard everything ? I hope he didn't. I should leave quickly now....
I looked at him confused:"oh! Sorry about that....., Thank u Giyuu san for showing up, ..... I should leave I Guess....." and before I could move....
"Why were you arguing?".
I sighed :"because I am in Tanjiro and his sister side, he thought that I am in demons side. I don't want to talk about that stupid. Be careful around him, maybe he will do the same thing to you, thank u so much Giyuu san, even though you didn't have to help me but I am grateful... ".
I turned around really to leave until he said.
"Is it also related to your past?" ....
He did it, He hit the nail on the head. I stopped for a moment and thought deeply. What he said is true. It is really about our past, the painful past that haunts me every time, the past that I would like to get rid of...
A cool breeze blew, and the place was silent. Naturally, Tomioka was calm and waiting for me to answer him.
"Letting your past control you in the present is something I would never do , that's why I am trying to get far away from that bastard. I am grateful that you did come and give some help, but please Tomioka san, talking about my past isn't something I would be pleased to do..... thank u again .... I will take my leave now...".
"There is nothing to thank me for, but in case you don't want to get closer to the wind hashira, then be careful in your next mission.".
I looked at his blue eyes, like a deep ocean , was he trying to give me a hint?what about my next mission?
"What? Next mission? Do you know about it? And what's with the wind pillar, unless ......... " soon my eyes got wide, I started to connect the dots. I looked at the water pillar with worried eyes
" Tomioka san, please don't tell me.... don't tell me that my next mission is going to be with..... is going to be with .... the wind hashira himself...no no this is a joke right??"
Although I know that the Water Pillar is not someone who throw jokes like this, I mean if it was Tengen or Rengoku, I might say it's just a funny joke, but this statement only came from the Water Hashira. Which means.....
"Since your enmity has become intense, the Hashira have suggested that you cooperate together in missions and this proposal will be presented to Oyakata-sama." .
"I'd rather drown myself than to work with that disgusting crazy man".
Tomioka didn't say anything, he stared at me for a while :" this is all what I have to say. But don't tell the others about it, they want it to be a secret so both of you will work together.".
I looked at him confused:"then... why did you tell me????...."
He turned around without facing me, then he started to walk away, leaving without any answers. I watched until he disappeared from my sight, Well at least I know what's coming up! Tomioka san is too helpful... I wish I could return the favor someday ..... Soon I started heading towards the butterfly estate.....
"Because I don't want you to get hurt (y/n) san" . Said the water pillar while walking away....
Once I stepped inside the estate , I was greeted by a girl with black hair and violet eyes, who was sitting on the balcony and looking at the butterflies around her. Shinobu told me about her. It was her Tsugoku. She quickly noticed my presence and then stood up and bowed. It is known that lower-ranked slayers always bow to the Hashira as a form of respect. I looked at her and asked her
"hello there, I want to ask you, Have you seen Tanjiro?"
She nodded and pointed to a certain direction.The last room on the right.soon I walked there and knocked the door.
Tanjiro was inside resting, he was talking with his sister until he heard a knock on the door, "Come in." (Y/n) quickly opened the door. With a smile on her face.
"Ah, (y/n)-sama!" He stood up and bowed.
" raise your head Tanjiro, no need to be formal, it has been a while Tanjiro san" I smiled.
He looked at me with the brightest smile ever. Then I sat on the chair while Tanjiro sat on the edge of the bed
Tanjiro said cheerfully:"(Y/n) san! I am so happy to meet you again, I was hoping that we would meet again one day. Not only did you pass the test, but you became a Hashira in a short time. This is amazing. You are truly amazing, (y/n) san!!"
I smiled :" thank u Tanjiro san, I am glad to meet you again, through this meeting isn't the best, how is Nezuko? Was she healed completely?".
He smiled:"hai! Nezuko is fine here, but she is a little bit scared, she didn't want to leave this room, nor her box, Nezuko come here! Your favorite (y/n) san is here!".
Soon Nezuko stepped crawling outside the wooden box, still in her child form, she looked at me with a surprise then she quickly crawled towards me, once she reached my legs she raised her arms as a sign to hold her up. Ow! She looks so cuute!!
I raised her up and put her in my lap, she giggled happily and start to play with my hair, I let her play with it while humming , I turned my attention towards the burgundy haired boy.
He looked worried:"Ah Nezuko! Behave yourself!".
" it's ok Tanjiro, I don't mind, Nezuko chan you are so cute! Are u still scared! Poor baby!".
Tanjiro said:"(y/n) san, Arigato! For protecting my little sister! Although almost all pillars were against it, but you believe in us and stood in our side, I don't know how to return your favor, you and Tomioka san, you two risked your lives for us, I am very grateful" he smiled while His eyes are shining intensely. Sure he love his little sister.
I smiled:" there is nothing to thank me for, Although all the credit goes to Tomioka-san, but I did what I thought was right. Your sister is different and I saw that with my own eyes".
"Arigato (y/n) san! I am really happy today, because Oyakata sama accept my sister, however I am not sure About the other hashiras".
I looked down at Nezuko who still playing with my hair, she wants to get my attention as well.
"As long as Oyakata sama accepts her,then they will do, whenever they liked it or not, The ultimate word belongs to him, and I'm sure they will accept her in the end. You just have to prove that she is worthy of fighting on our side, and that she will defend humans to the death, that is the only proof".
Tanjiro said:"yeah! I promise I will prove that my sister will fight along side with me, although I am not sure about that scarred white haired man and that snake man! Those two hashiras were the worst! Especially that scarred one! Oh how I wish to beat him up!" He pouted making an angry face.Nezuko hummed too while jumping on my lap.
"Don't worry about them, they won't do anything to you right now, just stay away from the wind pillar as much as you can".
Tanjiro hummed:" He is so rude (y/n) san! How could he stab my little sister like that! I understand that my sister is a demon, and I didn't expect the hashira to welcome her so easily, but they didn't harm her at all, they just refuse to accept her, but that wind pillar was so rude and mean! Is he always like that???".
I sighed deeply. Although Sanemi is the arrogant, scariest, angriest, and craziest Hashira, for a moment, moments from my childhood passed. Sanemi was not like this before, but what happened completely changed him. So should I judge him badly?
What am I thinking right now?.....
To be continued......

I'm back strong, now I feel confident enough.
Thank you all! Love u!!
