Darkness...
Silence...
Numbness...
That's the only words that came up to my mind as soon as I realized what happened to me.
Death is indeed inevitable.
It felt like I've been thrown into an abyss with no light and gravity. As if the whole world is now gone-or I'm the one whose gone.
Alone...
Sorrowful...
Pity...
Life is indeed important. If I only looked closely to its importance, I might just have the chance to renew myself and start again.
And yet again, I was too late.
It is already set in stone. I'm on my way to Oblivion. That's how life works.
All things comes to an end. That includes me.
But then I felt an unexplainable presence before me. There is no sillhoutte, I cannot see who it is, but I am certain of one thing.
I am not alone in this place.
I wonder, who is it?
Just then, a flick of light made its way to both of my eyes, making me cover it with the back of my palm. As soon as my eyes adjusted at the light, I looked up and blinked my eyes. I suddenly heard words that did not made sense to me.
Until I got a clearer word about what that person is saying. And it was-
"Nee-chan!"
...wait, what? Whose that?
"Nee-chan! What are you doing there?" Turning behind, I saw a small boy looking at me with a kind smile. His burgundy hair and familiar red eyes. He's...he is familiar...
Who is he again?
"Tan...jiro?" I slowly asked. He tilted his head on the side in confusion. If I were to base his physical body, it looks like he is only 4 years old. That means his sister is 3 years old today.
He smiled and nodded, his red eyes glinting at the sun's light. "Yup!"
I stared at the palm of my hand, before I pointed to myself. "Do you know who I am?"
"Ofcourse, you're nee-chan!"
I almost made a face. "I mean, my name."
"Oh," he smiled. "Kamado Amery!"
Hearing that, my world seemed to shatter into pieces.
What..the..hell?
"Nee-chan, daijobu?" Tanjiro looked at me, worry laced on his kind eyes. I ignored him and looked around, and there I spotted a small pond under the nearby trees. I quickly ran towards it, and yet I felt like I went there slowly.
As soon as I stopped to look down at my reflection, I gasped to myself as I stared in both horror and awe at my new look.
Long black hair with rose to vermillion color on the side of my bangs-same to the end of my hair, rose colored orb eyes, pale white skin, and that cute face. I'm even wearing a, what is this again? Oh, a kimono. A slanted stripe patterned purple and white kimono, and a pink checkered sash with flower designs on the side in the waist.
If I were to judge my physical appearance, it seems like I'm 8 years old.
And if I weren't confused or in despair at my situation, I might have probably jumped to hug Tanjiro tight and squish his cheeks! He is really cute, and little Kamado boy looks cuter when he was a kid!
"Nee-chan!" Soon, I saw Tanjiro holding me in the arm, as if helping me to stay standing. "Nee-chan, don't run too much! You're body might not take it!"
What?
So now I'm born with a weak and frail body? The nerve of this world and whoever reincarnated me. I'm already happy being in this known fictional world full of demons and cuties, but being borned this frail?
I might just die this way before I face a demon.
"Thanks." I replied in the most sincered way that I could. He guided me towards their house-or our house, which is the same as to what I've seen in the anime.
I never knew being reincarnated in this world is even possible.
"Tanjiro, Amery." A familiar voiced called out. Both of us looked behind and there, my eyes widen a fraction. It was Tanjiro's father-which I can also call my father I presume.
"Papa!" Tanjiro smiled and looked at me, as if asking for permission. I nodded and he guided me towards father. He gently let go of me before jumping towards our father.
He only smiled. He really looked frail, and he still have that hanafuda earrings. Soon, he will be giving that to Tanjiro. Then about that younger sister...what was her name again?
I suddenly felt a tug on my kimono, looking down I saw a little girl with light pink eyes staring at me with a smile. "Onee-chan!"
"Nezuko." I patted her head and smiled as I recalled her name. This cute little girl! It makes me wanna pinch her soft stretchy cheeks to death and scream at the top of my lungs. She leaned in to my touch and giggled.
"Wah, Nezuko!" Tanjiro beamed with a smile, presumably melting towards her sister's cuteness. Nezuko went towards them and hugged the two.
Suddenly, our mother appeared behind with a smile, carrying a little boy who looked like Tanjiro, but his hair is pure black like our mother's. Wait, who is he again? Takeo?
Mother beamed a smile. "Can we join the hug?"
Nezuko giggled and Tanjiro beamed a yes. Our father nodded. In my point of view, they looked like a perfect and happy family. Not until mother stretched her hand out to me.
Me?
"Amery, why are you just standing there?" Mother smiled. "Come here."
I hesitantly touched her hand, before joining the hug.
It never made me feel anything. Afterall, I never cared. Even in my past life-if I consider this as my reincarnated life, then my life before is my past life-I never felt anything towards other people, even if it is my family or friends.
That's just how plain and boring I am.
Quite petty and pathetic.
But somehow, I felt a sudden urge to still have hope, and try to reach out to the last glimmer of light which is sparkling with hope. That someday, I'll be able to be happy.
That someday...
I'll be better.
"I love you mama, papa!" Tanjiro beamed. Nezuko said the same thing. Takeo can only giggle at the moment since he seems to be 2 years old only. And our parents replied the same, before they all looked in my way.
I blinked my eyes. "I-uh..I love you all...too?"
They didn't react at first, and a few seconds later, they all laughed and hugged me, saying the same thing I was never able to hear before.
"We love you too."

To make things more clear if you didn't read the description of this story and happened to stumble upon this book, the reincarnated character named Kamado Amery is not a character from the anime itself but instead, a character I made for this story.
