╰┈➤ ❝Haha, lol. Shit just touched my soul.❞
"It's like I'm the wind!" Kiyo exclaimed in awe as she was being held up in the air by the now-healthy Tanjiro while yelling out "Yah!" in full of spirit.
"Let me go next!"
"Let me go next!"
The other two girls, Sumi and Naho, said excitedly while Emma who just watched them giggled happily at the full recovery of the burgundy-haired boy who just took a few days to get back to his usual enthusiastic self.
Tanjiro's recovery was faster than you thought it would take, logically it would take about a few weeks but this no-ordinary boy was good and all right after a few days. Then he needed to continue with his Rehabilitation Training but only with the basic one, stretching and jogging around the mansion.
While Tanjiro was doing the stretching session with one of the girls' and Rindou's help as he was an expert in this kind of thing. The girl pushed down his upper body and let him do the split at the same time, the rest that got here on a weird occasion were at the side, enjoying the tea that Kiyo poured for them.
Of course, Toman and Tenjiku still didn't get along even though they had to live under the same roof as they split into two and sat not too far away from each other.
Mikey with his usual sulking mood started the conversation between them. "Aw... I really wanted to go with N/n-chin."
-Flashback to a few hours ago-
"Now. I have to go." You stated, holding up your hand and waving at the girls with a smile plastered on.
Hearing your words made the boys get out of their room to take a look at you who had your full slayer uniform on. When you notice them, you halt in your tracks and look at them with a raised brow. "Any question?"
Mikey of course would jump on you, tackling you into a hug like usual, and you just casually pushed him away. Draken then would be there to help you, prying the male off you by pulling his collar away. "No! Ken-chin! Don't stop me from chasing my dream!"
You hyped him up. "Chase it when you are asleep~" playfully cooed at him.
"N/n-chin!"
The two suddenly made a Romeo and Juliet drama while Toman was already used to this as they couldn't care less about them and Tenjiku made a wtf face. 'Is this really the famous Invisible Mikey?' The enemy side thought, having more doubt about him now.
When the drama finally ended, Chifuyu started to speak with a worried tone. "Are you going out to kill those creatures again?"
Your gaze turned to him before giving him a closed-eyed smile. "No. Demons can't walk around in the broad daylight. They can only wander around at night. Only asshole go out in day time." You paused and looked at Izana with a smug expression before changing to the blond-haired male again with your usual smile.
Izana scowled when he noticed the stupid look you gave him as he saw your face change in a split second. 'Did she... just refer that to me?! How dare you...'
You then continued with your words. "Make sure you are not the toilet paper." referring to your "only asshole go out in day time."
Chifuyu was confused by that and was about to reply something but Ran beat him to it. "Then be careful out there, kitten. Don't die."
'Kitten?' You just blinked blankly at him with an unamused face. "Good. Now I am bloody inspired here." You nonchalantly said, making the rest sweatdropped and Ran couldn't get your sarcastic comment as he just lazily smiled at you like an idiot.
Rindou heaved a sigh. "Aniki, you are so stupid in love..."
Kisaki and Hanma suddenly popped out of nowhere as he walked into the mansion, probably just gotten back from the morning stroll to get more information about this place or their new plan to finish off Toman, earning a stern look from Takemichi, Chifuyu, Draken, and Mikey as they had one same thought.
The glasses male gave a look at you. "Your words are sure just like a knife."
His statement made you let out an annoyed face before saying "Bitch, I am. Now move." and pushed the unpleasant view off your sight while Hanma laughed at the hilarious scene.
"Oi!" Kisaki glared at you. "You should be nicer to the guest!"
"I'm being nice here. Did I ever chase you with my katana like those demons? No right? Jeez, people like you and your friends are so ungrateful. No one ever thanks me for having the patience not to kill your ass off!" You groaned and looked at their dumbfounded expression.
Silence filled the silence instantly, only your crow could be heard calling for you outside, Yuzuha's voice then chimed in, trying to make sure something. "Are you really okay, Y/n?"
"Yep, Lively as always. If there's nothing else. Then I will excuse myself now."
Hina added, grabbing everyone's attention, especially Takemichi, and Kisaki. "Where are you going, Y/n-chan?"
"Oh, I wanted to accompany my mentor to the Swordsmith Village." You kindly replied to her, the complete opposite when you treat the boys.
Takemichi gulped, wanting to find an excuse to go with you as he wanted to say things about his time leaping, it would help you a bit probably. "Can I come with you, Y/n-chan?"
"Hmm?" You hummed puzzled.
With that, they got mixed expressions about his statement as his girlfriend gave him a death look and a glooming aura leaked out from her, getting the wrong idea. "Takemichi-kun?" Her voice sounds like that one in the horror movie and Emma immediately calmed her down.
The said male was sweating profusely and quickly turned to her while flailing his arms around in panic. "W-Wait! Hina! I can explain!"
Then his collar got pulled by the Toman's leader. "Looks, Takemitchy. I know you are my buddy but I'm the first one who saw her alright." Mikey stated and smiled creepily at him, sending the poor male a shiver.
Right after that, a scoff was heard, earning a "Haa?" from the short blond-haired male as he turned to Baji who has a cocky look. "I meet her first, you know."
"That doesn't count."
"Say who?"
"Enough you two." Mitsuya stopped them from pounding at each other.
Hakkai on the other hand, just sweatdropped at them. 'I can't imagine fighting for a girl.'
Koko averted his eyes to the side at the Tenjiku's leader. 'Too bad, you two. The one who got touched by her first is Izana.' The male wanted to blurt out that to add more spice to this stupid situation but instead just said it inside his mind, fearing for his life that would be gone soon after.
You then cut them off by saying "Don't worry, you guys will meet me there later though and we will discuss your situation there." smiling faintly at them, and in the next three seconds, your face turned into a sour one when the person with whom you had a beef opened his mouth.
"So, you didn't find the solution yet, huh? What a disappointment." He attacked you purposely, rolling his eyes.
The short blond-haired male kisses his teeth. "Izana."
"Haha, lol. Shit just touched my soul." Your eyes twitched a bit, thinking. 'Different day, same little bitch.' You then replied to him in the same manner he did to you. "Oh honey, I'm disappointed in me too. Y'all ain't that special." turning to the girls your mood instantly changed 360 degrees, giving them a playful fly kiss and wink. "Of course, you guys are different cases!"
The Kawata twins cackle, finding your words funny.
Mikey had a hurt expression. "What about me, N/n-chin?!"
You were about to reassure him but it abruptly got interrupted when Izana came closer to you and whispered dangerously. "I'm coming for you."
And you have the audacity to whisper back confidently and shamelessly. "Good. Bring me Mochi next time." while holding yourself not to burst into laughter at his dumbstruck face.
You be like right now:
Izana who just made a fool of himself:
Then you did something unexpected, kissing him on the cheek to embarrass him in public, intentionally making it as loud as you could, enough for everyone to hear.
*Smooch*
Izana froze at your sudden actions as he went red after that, Tenjiku had a horrified face, Toman was shocked, and the girls obviously were amazed by your bold move, and their cheeks flushed with the pink shade as they thought you had a crush on him. No darling, you just wanted to mess with his ego, that's all.
The girls whispered among them.
"Y/n-chan is so brave..."
"I never know Y/n-chan is into my other brother. I thought she was into Mikey."
"They made a good couple."
Hearing them made the said male puff his cheeks in frustration.
"See you later~" You sang and exited the building, giggling to yourself.
Kakucho went to his king and glanced hesitantly at his stunned state. "Izana?"
"..."
-The end of the flashback-
"Ugh. I want to be in his place." Mikey groaned, glaring at the white-haired male who glared back at him when he could feel the burning gaze.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch!" Tanjiro grunted in pain as the green clip butterfly girl pushed even harder.
Rindou shook his head. "Your body sure is stiff." watching his progress as he was a pro in this kind of thing while the burgundy-haired male had a tear in his eye, nodding his head.
"It's so frustrating! I've got a long way to go before I gain back my stamina!" Tanjiro complained, then remembered something. "Hey, wait! Did a new katana come while I was asleep? To replace the one that I chipped!"
"Oh!" The butterfly girls, Emma and Baji were startled, hearing about it as they exchanged a look at each other.
Naho stuttered. "A-A katana, you say? A katana..."
Mitsuya noticed how tense their face was right now. "Are you guys okay?"
Chifuyu stared at his idol. "Your face looks pale, Baji-san."
"Oh..."
Emma then pulled out the crumpled papers. "About that..." while Baji averted his eyes. Draken and Mikey tried to look at them and dropped a sweat when they saw what was written on them.
Kiyo stopped pouring the tea. "You did get some letters from Haganezuka-san. Would you like to see them?" Her tone was full of both hesitant and worried while Emma handed the papers, making the rest take a look at them in the burgundy-haired male's hand.
They read the letters that had "I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU" "I HATE YOU" "I'LL CURSE YOU" on them as Haganezuka's voice rang in "I have no katana for the likes of you!"
All of their corner mouths twitched uncontrollably in disbelief.
Tanjiro's soul almost came out of his body. "This is... really bad!"
'It is, isn't it?'
Baji replied to him with "That's what we wanna tell you..." and Emma nodded her head as a confirming his statement.
Hanma cooed. "This guy seems fun. Right, Kisaki?"
The said male only heaved a tired sigh.
"Damn." Rindou and Koko said in sync. Sanzu just blinked his eyes at him.
"Man, what did you do to make this dude mad like this?" Ran asked, raising one eyebrow at the papers.
"Haha, the guy just cursed you." Chifuyu let out an awkward smile, pitying the poor male.
Kazutora added. "This dude sure is a menace."
"Will you be alright?" Takemichi asked and Kakucho was next "Are you good?"
The older Kawata laughed. "You're dead, bro!" Angry then stated next "This looks like a real bad threat."
Inui muttered to himself. "Who is Haganezuka?"
Draken joined in. "This guy must hate you so much."
Mikey nonchalantly butted in with his cheerful tone. "Do you want me to beat this guy, Tan-chin?" Smiling proudly at his words and right after he said that Tanjiro gave him a scold while the short blond male was on his knees with a kicked puppy face.
Izana who had watched them from the side or specifically at the burgundy-haired male, saw the person he admired on him as his friendly and kind nature was the same as that person, leaning his chin on his palm to observe more.
Mitsuya and Hakkai on the other hand, went to help the girls that had just gotten back while carrying snacks for everyone. They helped them carry it, Yuzuha, Hina, and Sumi thanked them, even though the blue-haired male just froze and ignored the two girls, walking off quickly.
"Don't worry, Sumi-chan. He always like that." Yuzuha explained to the little girl who just mouthed "It's okay."
They then ate them while Sumi sat next to Tanjiro and informed him "Two months went by, but no katana ever arrived."
The burgundy-haired male held his head with a troubled face. "And it was only chipped this time! I snapped it into two last time!" He told them the reason, making most of them deadpan at how careless he was while Sanzu was confused at how the katana could snap into two as he had an experience holding it.
They whispered to themselves.
"No wonder that dude is mad."
"I pray the best for him."
"He will die later."
The blue butterfly hair clips girl continued "Katana are always getting damaged, but Haganezuka-san just happens to be a bit difficult, doesn't he?"
Baji agreed with her. "By the death look, he gave to us, I couldn't agree more with that."
Emma dropped a sweat, having a memory playing inside her mind of when the katana maker came into this place while holding the letters to give to them with the odd and scary mask on but they could see the veins popping up on his buff arms, meaning that he was furious.
Kiyo then joined in. "Why don't you go to the village?" She suggested to him.
Takemichi turned his head to the side at her instantly, hearing this topic. "Village?"
The same girl nodded her head as her eyes were dot and she had a small smile. "Yes, the Swordsmith Village!"
Hearing that name made Mikey push down Takemichi's head as he went closer to her. "The one that N/n-chin go?!" He excitedly said as his eyes shone with glee as his mouth was now a bit smudged after devouring the snacks.
This time Sumi replied. "That's right." Then she looked at the troubled male once again. "Maybe it would be best to talk to him directly."
Kiyo added. "The village where all the swordsmiths live."
Tanjiro looked taken aback by it. "Huh? I can go?"
Naho then looked at the rest. "Y/n-sama told me that you all need to go too."
Mitsuya then replied to her with a smile. "Yeah, she did say that. Thank you for reminding us once again." The male said softly as he remembered his two little sisters and quite missed them.
After that, they changed their clothes as the butterfly girls made them wear the demon slayer uniform, the boys were the same as Tanjiro's, and the girls were the same as you and Kanao wore.
"This is not bad," Mitsuya muttered, thinking about the quality fabric of the clothes which was quite light and easy to move around.
Hakkai agreed with him. "That's right." then Yuzuha suddenly made her little brother turn around to show it to her, she was just like a mother to him.
The Haitani siblings gazed at their uniform with judging faces as they didn't want to be the same as others. "Ew." They wanted to feel special, so they asked the girls for a white cloak like you had before in the forest.
The Kawata twins snickered at them.
Kakucho sweatdropped, remembering the time when they asked him for a different color of Tenjiku's uniform and he just did it for them without having any second thoughts, only for him to get a good beating from Izana, asking him angrily "Why did you make them stand out so much?!"
Izana sighed with an unbothered face.
Mikey looked down at his own, raising his brow while kicking around to make sure it was not heavy and hard to move. Draken just sighed tiredly because Emma tried to fix his clothes, brushing off any possible dust on him.
Hina also did the same to Takemichi but the male had a different reaction as he was on cloud nine while Kisaki just clicked his tongue and rolled his eyes, probably because he was jealous.
Hanma who noticed it, decided to tease him. "You want me to do that to you too, Kisaki <3"
The said male glared at him instantly. "You wanna die?"
Baji, Kazutora, and Chifuyu were running around, playing chase at this time, only for them to earn a deadpan look from Inui, Koko, and Sanzu. When Mikey was finally satisfied with his uniform, he went to bug Tanjiro, asking him a random question which is about the big box that he carried on his back.
"Tan-chin, what was the box for?" pointing at his back.
The latter glanced at his back and gave him a closed-eyed smile. "My little sister, Nezuko."
Mikey blinked his eyes a few times in disbelief before making sure he heard it right by asking Draken. "What did he say?"
"His little sister...?" The tall male also replied with an unsure tone.
The atmosphere went silent completely as the ones who still hadn't met the so-called little sister yet had the same thought in mind, gulping the lump in their throats. 'What a tragic story...' except for Emma and Baji who already met her a few times before as they just smiled back at the burgundy-haired male.
Izana had a shocked face as he couldn't believe how much love he had for his younger sibling.
Chifuyu stopped running around, and then he, Inui, Yuzuha, and Mitsuya gave him a pitied look, thinking that he carried his little sister's ashes or something. But Kazutora blankly said, "You carrying a corpse around?"
Takemichi gasped loudly. "Kazutora-kun?!" while Koko and Kakucho facepalm. The girls shook their heads at how straightforward he was.
Angry and Chifuyu immediately shout around, hoping the latter didn't hear what the dumbass just said. "WAAAH! WAAAH!"
The rest of Toman dragged him away while yelling in panic.
"Are you stupid?!"
"Don't say that!"
"Have some respect for the grief person!"
Right after that, Tanjiro's laughter cut them off. "It's not like that. My little sister is still alive but she is not her usual self, that's all. Right, Nezuko?" He stated, glancing at the box.
Then a sound of scratching could be heard coming from the box, making them tilt their heads in confusion as some of them shrugged it off and thought it must be a cat.
But soon, voices grabbed their attention. "Nice to meet you," Kakushis said in unison, bowing at them, then one of them with a feminine voice continued. "As the Master has granted approval, I shall be guiding you there."
Tanjiro and the girls bowed too. "Nice to meet you! I'm Kamado Tanjiro! And they are the people that Y/n has told you about! Thank you for taking us!" The male said and the girls proceeded to say their thanks too.
"As your guide, we cannot tell you all our names, but we look forward to serving you. Now then, put these on." She said, letting out a white cloth and something to pluck on his ears to prevent him from smelling around. Other Kakushi also gave them the same thing.
"What are they?"
Soon after that, their view was blocked by the same cloth, and the earplugs for them to wear for the village safety purpose.
"A blindfold and earplugs. The village is hidden. Also... we will be carrying you on our back."
"Huh?"
Most of them grunted.
"Not again!"
"This feels like a kidnapping."
"I hope they didn't yeet us away."
The female Kakushi who will carry Tanjiro said to him. "Moreover, as you are known to have an acute sense of smell... take those nose plugs." She plugs his nose, then all the Kakushis give them a piggyback ride when they are done and run off.
"Have a safe journey!" The butterfly girls exclaimed, waving at them.
Mikey also got ready to take a nap in the kakushi's back which would make the kakushi work harder as he was a heavy sleeper.
Along the journey, they changed Kakushis and continued to their destination as they thought 'How many of them actually?' It took like a few hours for them to arrive as it was now evening when they took off their blindfold and earplugs, only to see the entrance of the certain village.
All of them let out a "Whoa!" looking around the traditional buildings.
"Wow! These buildings sure are amazing!" Tanjiro said in awe.
"This place is so peaceful." Angry said.
Haitani siblings made a comment. "Old fashion too."
Kakushi then replied to them. "Everyone who comes here says the same thing."
The burgundy-haired male started to smell around. "And this scent... There must be a hot spring nearby!"
When he said that, all of them tried to smell it too.
The unknown Kakushi continued. "Yes, you're right about that! Please go there later to refresh yourself. But first things first. Turn left at the end of this street, and you'll find the chief's home. Please go there to greet him before you do anything else. And for you guys." She turned to the strangers. "Y/n-sama has already told the chief about your emergency arrival and he understood it. So, just go straight to the hot spring and I will take you there."
"Right."
"Alright."
"..."
Mikey pouted. "I wanna meet N/n-chin sooner."
Kakushi then bowed and excused herself. "We'll be taking my leave now to the hot spring, but I wish you the best." He said to Tanjiro.
They felt rather awkward when these people were being all this polite to them as they just mouthed thanks while Tanjiro bowed 90 degrees at her. "Thank you very much!" And because they were in a quite calm and quiet place, his voice echoed around the place.
Mikey looked around in awe when he heard the male's voice around the place then his eyes shone with imaginary stars around him, proceeding to shout. "N/n-chin! We're here!" His voice also echoed, grabbing their attention as they had a 'Are you serious' face.
"Shut up, Mikey," Draken nonchalantly said.
Meanwhile, in the hot spring, two females were there as the pink-haired one started first. "I just heard an echo of gratitude and the next one... did that person was calling for you, Y/n-chan?"
"Yeah." Right after the said female replied that, both of them got up all naked as water trailed down from their bodies.
"Does that mean someone's here? I think I feel my heart pounding!" The girl said as she had large round, pale green eyes with long eyelashes and a small beauty mark beneath each of them and long, light pink hair that faded into a lime green color at the halfway point, which she wore in three thick braids.
You chuckled slightly. "Right? I can't wait to tease those lost kitties even more..." Said you, letting out a seductive smile to yourself.
Your mentor stared at you as her gaze didn't leave you, blushing instantly. 'Y/n-chan is smiling!!' She then put both her hands on her cheeks and started squealing while shaking her head lovingly. 'My tsuguko is so pretty!!'
You looked at her in concern when you saw her slap her own cheeks hard. "Are you okay, Kanroji-san?"
'Y/n-chan is worried about me?!' She gasped, then the said female stopped and stuttered at you. "I-I am fine!" Exclaimed loudly before going inside the water. 'KAWAIII!'
You on the other hand, just raised your brow slightly before turning to one specific direction and stated. "They are here."
The pink-haired female came out of the water, having a confused look. "Hmm?"
"I need to go fetch someone and I will be back, Kanroji-san." You informed and got out.
"Okay!"
Back with Toman's and Tenjiku's side who were glaring at each other as their atmosphere was quite tense right after the Kakushi that brought them here left. The girls just watched them at the side until all of them heard your voice chimed in and you appeared from nowhere.
"Yohoo~ You guys finally arrived, huh?"
Mikey's mood changed immediately, Izana groaned instantly, Ran and Hanma were excited to see you again. Takemichi, Chifuyu, and the girls were happy, Baji was startled by the girl who defeated him in a fight before while the rest had their natural faces on.
As soon as they turned around they were met with the most sinful sight of you as you were still a little wet, wearing the hot spring yukata but your cleavage was shown as it was not neatly covered.
Their eyes went wide as they gawked in shock, having their jaw dropped at the same time. The girls of course were flustered once again by the way you wore it. The boys were blushing as Kakucho, Rindou, Chifuyu, and Mitsuya averted their eyes to the side shyly.
Hakkai's soul just left his body at that moment.
You noticed the stare and smirk teasingly. "Like what you see?" You purposely ruffled your hair to the back, giving a hot vibe to them, messing them even more as steam could be seen coming out of their heads.
"Oya~" Hanma cooed and Ran also did the same next.
"You sure are a naughty kitten, aren't you?"
Mitsuya then being the gentleman he is, the latter took off Rindou's white cloak "Oi!" and wrapped it around your chest to cover them, carefully not to make you uncomfortable or touch things he was not supposed to touch. "P-Please excuse me."
You blinked your eyes at him before pouting playfully. "Aw, Mitsuya-kun. You just ruined the fun." You stated before turning around and said. "Whatever. Let's go in!" You made a 'come on' gesture by using your pointer finger, moving it upward a few times.
'She sure is so random...'
