Y/n's POV
This is really easy. Considering my flexibility from gymnastics and sword fighting, Urokudaki-san said that all I have to master now is Total Concentration Breathing along with the forms
"Water breathing. You use it calmly and you have to move smoothly, just like water." He said while taking his own Katana while I take my own
"How do you breath master?" I asked
"You do already know that Total Concentration Breathing is like letting oxygen run into all cells in every part of your body to get the strength of a demon, yes?"
"Yes master."
"Therefore, you better breath with ease until your lungs hurt." He said sternly
"But, how exactly master?"
"Follow me to the waterfalls." He said as he walked away with silent steps me following behind
Then we found a cliff high enough to cannonball
"Get in there and be one with water." He said as I nodded taking my shoes off and placing my phone next to them so I'm just in my clothing, I asked Urokudaki-san to look after them as he just nodded
"Cannonball!" I suddenly shouted as I dove in. The moment I fell down, I saw multiple people looking at me from the bank
"Sorry about that!" I apologized
"It's quite alright. Although the water is very cold you could freeze to death!" A woman exclaimed
"I'm fine with it miss! I'm quite used to it now!" I said as Urokudaki-san was in the bank telling me to head to the water fall like Tanjiro did. And when I went there, all the hashiras are present under the waterfall , even Tanjiro and the gang. Well, except Nezuko-chan
"I wasn't expecting you here Y/n-chan!" Said Mitsuri
"Same here. Can I join all of you?" I asked as they all nodded
I ended up standing beside Tanjiro and Inosuke with music hands clasped together
"Fight me later?" I asked Inosuke
"Finally!" He said
"After my training. We'll be fighting each other, but with wooden swords, not real swords. It'll be against the Corps' rules if we draw real swords at each other." I stated
"I'll only follow you since you took us in!" He said
"Why only me though? Tanjiro also aided you." I chuckled
"I mean the only girl I will follow! From now on, I will always protect you!" He said
"Correction..." Said Giyuu with Tanjiro's other side
"We will protect you." Everyone said
"Wait, what?" I said surprised
"We will always be with you from now on. Everywhere you go, we'll always be there to guard you." Said Muichiro
"I have never heard anyone say that to me." I said with tears in my eyes
"What did I ever do to deserve something like this?" I asked
"You took us in, you showed us what we were capable of, took care of us, and much more. So this is our way of repaying you." Said Obanai
"T-thank you..." I managed to get out now that my tears are falling, but they can't see it because of the water in our faces
"Ore wa mizu da!" I said
"Eh? What?" Asked Tanjiro with a small blush of embarrassment evident on his cheeks
"It was what you said when you were training with Urokudaki-san. Don't you remember?" I asked giggling at his state
"Oh, yeah." He laughed
"Ok everyone, time to get out now,practice Constant Total Concentration Breathing, I'll demonstrate to Y/n how to do so." Said Urokudaki-san as we obeyed then got dried up with the towels we bought with us
"Y/n!" I heard a voice. A familiar voice. And when I turned around to look at the source, my eyes sparkled
"Lily?!" I asked as I engulfed her into a hug since both our clothes are wet anyways
"Omg! How long has it been?!" She asked
"2 years, 5 months, 1 week, and 209 days." I said
Lily is my cousin, and by far my favorite. She was also my 2nd best friend when I met her at my mom's funeral.
"Um, Y/n? Who is she? Is she a demon?" Asked Sanemi readying his sword
"No, she's my cousin! What makes you think that Sanemi?!" I shouted
"Uh, Y/n? Who are you-"
"Nothing! Just messing with ya. The look on your face was Priceless!" He laughed
"Y/n!"
"Better mess with someone else, I'm having a moment with my cousin here!" I shouted
"Y/n!"
"What?!" I asked
"Who in the world are you talking to?!" Asked Lily
"My uh... Imaginary friends?" I said unsure
"Since when did you happen to have imaginary friends? I never thought that you were that kind of person anymore ever since your parents died." She said
"Yeah, I've decided to have some since I was very lonely too. And that bitch Veronica was about to kill me with my own wooden Katana." I said highlighted the word BITCH
"You have Katanas?!" She exclaimed
"Yeah, wooden ones for for now." I said
"Then what's that on your belt?" She asked
"Oh, uh..."
"You're lying!" She said teasingly
"I gotta get back to my training! Bye!" I said running away
"What training?!" She asked but I didn't answer and just went with the others
"Sorry I'm late! I was held back by Lily." I said panting
"That's quite alright, let's get on with the next lesson now which is Total Concentration Breathing with Water Techniques." Said Urokudaki-san
"Yes Sensei." I said
A few moments later
My lungs hurt! So I fell on my knees and start panting
"Now I know what Tanjiro was talking about when he was practicing it." I said wheezing
"Just give it more effort. You'll be able to get used to it like Tanjiro and Giyuu." He said
"Yes Sensei." I said as I tried again with the water techniques but I just ended up cutting myself with the blade really deep
"Ah!" I shouted
"What's wrong?!" Everyone came rushing towards me, even Urokudaki-san
"Don't worry, just a little cut." I said
"A little? That's too deep to be true." Said Rengoku without his usual happy self, it was replaced with a look of worry
"Don't worry, it'll just heal in a few minutes." Said Shinobu approaching me with a syringe in hand
"Few minutes?" I echoed
"Yes, this medicine in my hand is especially made by me. It's really effective even on the deepest wounds and cuts. It'll help you." She said while taking my hand and injecting the liquid in my hand
"There! All done!" She said as I took a look at myself. I was healed!
"I thought that it'll be able to start regenerating your skin in a few minutes, but that works too." She said with her usual smile that had a dark past
"Thank you Shinobu." I said standing up
"You're welcome, just be careful ok?" She said
"Ok." I said as they went back to their training
"Urokudaki-san, maybe Water Breathing isn't actually for me." I said
"Just keep trying, and when it gets to the point where you can't really do it, you can either let one of the pillars train you, or make your own breath styles." Said Urokudaki-san
"Yes master." I said as I tried again
And again
And again
And again
And again
But nothing...
I keep failing
"That proves it. Make a pillar train you or make your own styles." He said walking away
"Wait! Master!" I shouted to which he came to halt and turn to me
"Thank you for trying..." I said bowing
"Your welcome. Same to you too." He said while giving me my shoes and my phone and walked away
I stood there for a bit and looked at the time at my phone
8:46
I sigh, knowing that I'll have to make my own breath styles
"I can do this. I'll make Snow Breath Styles..." I said determined
