After the little event with sanemi we started over. He still seemed annoyed but I understood he's the type of person to just always be angry. He at least had a conversation with me while having ramen.

I was visiting the butterfly estate and I saw kocho

"Kocho-San!"

I hugged her from behind

"Hello l/n-Chan! I was about to have some tea, would you like to join me?"

I nodded my head

"I'd be delighted to!"

She poured me some tea and we chatted about different things.

"L/n-Chan. Why did you become a demon slayer? You're so kind and beautiful, you could've lived a peaceful life, possibly find a husband and maybe start a family. Why did you chose this life?"

She asked me. She did have a point, the ubuyakishi's didn't force me to become a demon slayer. They said my life was mine to chose.

"I became I demon slayer to help others. Rather that slaying demons and setting them free. Or rather saving human from being killed. All my life I've always wanted to help people. Just like my parents."

I said looking down at the cup remember the good times I had with them.

"Your so much like my sister. She had a kind souls and a compassionate heart like yours. She the reason I keep smiling even after her death because she loved it so much."

"Even though your angry almost all the time?"

She looked at me surprised

"I'm sorry. But I can tell from your aura that your almost always angry."

I put my cup down and sat next to her. I softly put my hands on hers.

"I know that anger. Having something taken away from you, knowing that it will never come back. But I don't wish for you to feel this way. Your someone I've gotten to know, so I consider you a friend. My friends and family holds a special place in my heart. Anyone who holds place in my heart I want to make them happy as much as I can. So I hope I can do the same for you!"

I smile

Then my crow flew in and told me that I had received a letter. It was from Tomioka asking me to meet him at his estate.

I got up and thanked kocho for the tea.

I ran over there and knocked at his door.

"Oh. You actually came."

He said and I giggle

"Of course I did. Is there something you needed?"

He looked down and gave me something.

I opened it and found a new haori inside of it, it was beautiful.

"I know your old one was completely torn up. I happen to pass by a town and I saw this in a display case.
It reminded me of you, so I though you might like it."

He rubbed the Back of his neck while looking away.
I tried it own.

"Aw Tomioka-San. That so kind of you but I don't like it."

He looked at me and was about to say something but I cut him off by saying

"I love it!"

I twirled around in it, while laughing. He let out a sigh.

He allowed me to hangout with him a bit. We played a bit of shoji. Which I lost, every time. I was never the best at those type of games.

I returned to the butterfly estate and saw all the boys training also trying to master total concentration constant.

I fixed up my hair in a room, after taking a bath. Which was allowed by kocho.

(Sorry I meant to make the skin gray. But i didn't realized until I merged the layers together and left the piece.) 

As I left the room I saw tanjiro running and I followed him. He went to tell inosuke, that him and his swords were being delivered and their sword smiths were nearby.

We all ran outside, it turns out me and tanjiro had the same sword smith. Haganezuka!

We saw him walking aling with another swords smith. He grabbed something from the other ran really fast towards tanjiro with a knife!

He barely missed

"How dare you snap my precious sword in two! You got a lot o nerve boy!"

"I'm sorry...but you know...I did almost die! My opponent was really strong!"

Then Haganezuka started poking tanjiro cheek really roughly And slowly going faster and faster

"Excuse, excuses, excuses. The only person you got to blame is your self got it?! If you hadn't been so pathetically weak it wouldn't have broke! There no way it would've snap like that otherwise!"

"But I..."

"I'm going to kill you!" 

Then he started chasing tanjiro around with a knife.

🤍

After everything calmed down, we went inside and sat down.

I finally got to greet haganezuka.

"It's nice to see you again haganezuka-San!"

He looked at me

"Oh hello. I can see, somebody was able to keep their sword from breaking!"

He said glaring at tanjiro. I slightly giggle.

"May I see it again?"

I nodded and pulled it out.

He softly run his hand over it, and sighed

"I think this is perhaps the greatest sword I've forged, and not because of the color. I can feel how well I made it. It could use a bit of sharpening though."

He pulled out something and started sharpening it.

But then I heard loud yelling and turn to see inosuke smashing his sword in with a rock to crest rough sharp edges

Tanjiro was holding back the sword smith who made the sword cause he was about to attack inosuke.

"You dirty swine! That's it your a dead man!"

The sword smith yelled at inosuke as tanjiro apologized.

"Done."

I heard haganezuka say and I went over.

It was even sharper than before, in fact I barely grazed the blade and I cut my finger.

"Man when you sharpen something you seem to sharpen it to perfection. This will indeed be very helpful in battle. Thank you haganezuka-San! I truly mean it!"

He patted my head and pinched my cheek.

"It's nice to hear my work being a appreciated! I hope I can sharpen it again sometime soon."

I saw the girl with a green and pink butterfly clip. I think her name was Kanao Tsuyuri? Yeah that's right. Kocho talked about her. Apparently she was a flower breath type user.

"Hello. Today is lovely don't you think?"

She looked at me and just stared

"Your kanao right? Kocho told me a bit about you. She said your breathing style is flower. Is that right? My mother was actually once a flower type hashira before she retired."

She took out a coin and flipped it.

"That's amazing. So your following in your mothers foot steps."

I smiled

"Yes, actually my father too. He was a water user he retired as well as my mother she became pregnant with me."

After that we had a nice chat.

"Why did you flip that coin before your started talking to me?"

She looked at it

"It helps me decided. Tails I talk to you and heads I don't."

I looked at the coin

"A coin. Don't you want to pick, I mean everybody has free will."

"It doesn't matter. Nothing matters to me, so I can't decided for myself."

"Well I believe there's nothing in the world that doesn't matter. I believe people should follow their hearts. I think you just need to pay a little more attention to that heart inside of you and hear what it has to say. It is important to follow order but...here! Can I see your coin for a second?"

She handed it to me

I stood up and flipped it

"If it lands on head! I want you to listen to your heart!"

I caught it, we both look at it and when I lifted my hand it came up as head.

I smiled and celebrated

"It came up as heads!"

I grabbed her hands to giver her coin back

"Listen! The heart is the thing that will give you the power to move forward and grow stronger. It the thing that drives people! Please grow it as strong as you need it to be!"

I told her but I was supposed to be going on a mission soon. But she grabbed my wrist.

"How did you make it come up as heads?"

"Just by chance. Or maybe a powerful force knew it was time for you to start following to your heart. But I'm not going to lie, even if it came up as tails, I was going to flip it until it became heads! Please listen to your heart and take care kanao!"

I was in front of the estate with the boys. As we prepared to leave. The three triplets, saw us off.

We arrived at a train station. Inosuke and tanjiro have never seen one before. Apparently the mission was some demons were on the train. I bought the four of us some tickets. Then told them to get onto the train. But then inosuke started causing a commotion. Which alerted the authorities, we had to run away, but the train started moving so we jumped onto it as it was taking off.

We were official started our trip on the mugen train
