Sorry for timeskipping again, but this is a week after you became conscious and had that meeting with Oyakata.

You were practicing your breathing forms in the garden, back at Muichiro's estate, when you heard voices talking from inside. They seemed to be quite serious, and you were concerned that something bad might have happened to Muichiro.

Ever since you had seen him at the hashira meeting, where he had tried to slit his wrists and was crying so much, you had felt that it was your duty to protect and love him as if you were his older sister. You were the same age, but the love you felt for him transcended that of a normal relationship, and was on the verge of becoming familial love. Due to this, you liked to think of him as your younger brother. You loved him so much that you didn't know how you would feel if you were separated from him. So you were quite concerned as to why these people sounded so serious.

You slipped open the bamboo door and pressed your ear to the door to one of the guest rooms, which seemed to be where the people were speaking. What you heard them saying made you even more concerned.

"Muzan Kibutsuji is on the move? On his own?"

"Shush, Obanai!" that was Muichiro's voice. "I don't want Y/N to hear this. She'll probably take it upon herself to go on some foolish quest to slay Muzan on her own. And I don't want to see her get hurt."

"I'm not being loud at all!" Obanai responded, sounding quite insulted. "And if Y/N wants to fight Muzan, why would you stop her? She could take care of him in a minute with her Dark Side of the Moon total concentration breathing, and then the whole hierarchy of demons would collapse."

"Are you joking me?" this was a new voice, one you recognized dimly as Sanemi's voice. "Do you WANT her to die? You know how much her just getting knocked unconscious hurt Muichiro's heart, and now you want her to die? You're a demon, Obanai. I hope your snake consumes you alive."

"Kaburamaru would never hurt me! He's a good boy!" Obanai snapped.

You sighed in disappoint. These two boys were hashira? What was Oyakata thinking, letting these two petty fools into such an honored group of Demon Slayers?

You leaned forward more, and all of a sudden, someone opened the door, and you fell into the room, landing straight on your face.

"Oh gosh, Y/N, are you okay?" Obanai said.

"Sanemi, you idiot! You hurt this beautiful woman, and you need to apologize now!" Muichiro snapped, holding his hand out for you to help you up.

"Alright, alright! Sorry!" Sanemi said, blushing a little for no noticeable reason.

After you had gotten up, you said something that had been in your mind since you had first heard them talking.

"So, Muzan's on the attack, huh? Can we fight him?"
