Shinobu- Tomioka-san~!

Shinobu- You can't ignore me forever Tomioka-san!

Shinobu- It's rude to ignore your friends!

Shinobu- Now now!

Shinobu- No need to be so stubborn!

...

???- Oi Giyuu

Giyuu- What is it Sanemi?

Sanemi- Tanjiro and the others are moving

Giyuu- Ah.. Right..

Sanemi- Did you forget?

Giyuu does a swift nod

Sanemi- Just go say good bye to them before they leave

Sanemi walks away from Giyuu, heading towards Kanao

Giyuu💭...

Giyuu💭How could I forget?

Giyuu💭What was I thinking about..

...

Rengoku- Tomioka!

Rengoku- Do you want to eat with me?

...

Giyuu💭I need to visit Tanjiro..

Giyuu stands up and walks over to the entrance of the Butterfly mansion and finds Tanjiro with the others

Nezuko- Good afternoon, Giyuu-san!

Nezuko runs up and hugs Giyuu tightly

Giyuu- Hey Nezuko-chan..

Giyuu pats Nezuko's head

Tanjiro- Giyuu!!

Tanjiro walks over and hugs Giyuu

Giyuu was being suffocated by the two Kamado siblings

Giyuu- Y-you guys a-are choking m-me..!

Nezuko lets go, including Tanjiro

Zenitsu was glaring at Giyuu

Nezuko- We will see you again some day right? Right??

Giyuu chuckles

Giyuu- Of course

Tanjiro- You should come over to our place whenever you and Sanemi aren't busy!

Giyuu- I will, I will..

Giyuu smiles

Aoi- Hey guys!

Inosuke- Food lady!

Tanjiro- Hi Aoi!

Giyuu- Hello Aoi

Aoi- I brought you guys some food, since you guys skipped breakfast!

Aoi hands Zenitsu, Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Nezuko some food

She gives extra to Inosuke

Giyuu notices Inosuke have a faint blush

Giyuu💭Young love..

Giyuu💭Love..

Tanjiro- Do you.. Know when Kanao.. Is gonna move with us..?

Tanjiro says, devouring the food

Aoi- Once Sanemi finds a place to live

Aoi smiles warmly

Aoi- Do you have a place to go Giyuu-san?

Giyuu- I'll stay at the butterfly mansion with you and the triplets, Aoi

Giyuu smiles at Aoi

Aoi smiles back

Giyuu💭She's like a sister to me..

Giyuu💭I can't let her die.. Not again.. (Referring to his actual sister)

Aoi- It'll be nice to have you as company, Giyuu-san

Giyuu- Of course..

Zenitsu- When are we leaving?

Nezuko- No need to rush, Zenitsu-kun!

Zenitsu- Of course, Nezuko-chan!

Tanjiro- We're leaving when everyone is ready!

Inosuke- I'll have you know that the king of mountains is prepared!

Aoi- It'll be lonely without you, you know Inosuke-san?

Giyuu💭Right.. She likes Inosuke

Inosuke- HAHAHAHAHA don't worry food lady! I'll always ask you for food!

Aoi- Of course

Aoi- Oh! And Giyuu-san

Giyuu- Hm?

Aoi hands over a small box with a light purple ribbon on it

Giyuu- Eh?!

Aoi- Kanao made it for you!

Aoi- She said she wanted me to give it to you!

Giyuu grabs the gift and looks at it

Giyuu- It's very pretty

Tanjiro- Aoi! Giyuu!

Tanjiro- We're leaving now!

Aoi- Eh?! Already!

Aoi- Then I guess this is goodbye for now huh Tanjiro?

Tanjiro- Of course!

Tanjiro- I'll go and find Kanao to tell her I'm leaving! You can leave without me! I'll find you guys!

Zenitsu- Ya sure Tanjiro?

Tanjiro- Yup!

Nezuko- Don't get lost Onii-chan!

Tanjiro- I won't, don't worry Nezuko

Giyuu- Then this is really goodbye huh?

Tanjiro- It is isn't it?

Tanjiro- I just want to say thank you for everything Giyuu!

Giyuu- No need to thank me! Really..

Tanjiro- I also have a gift, by the way!

Giyuu- What?!

Tanjiro hands me a small box with a red ribbon on it

Tanjiro- Take it! Please!!

Giyuu- Th-thanks..

Inosuke- Monjiro! Are you comin'?

Tanjiro- I will!

???- W-wait!!!

Kanao- Y-you're leaving already?!

Tanjiro- I'm sorry I didn't tell you Kanao

Giyuu💭They're rambling..

Giyuu💭Inosuke definitely isn't happy about this..

-Timeskip brought to you by the author of this book-

Giyuu- Bye Tanjiro! Bye Inosuke!

Kanao- I'm wishing you guys the best! I'll come soon!

Tanjiro- Bye Giyuu! I'll see you soon Kanao!

Inosuke- I'll see you next week for food, Aoi!

Tanjiro and Inosuke, the last two to stay behind, leaves

Aoi- H-he said m-my name correctly..

Aoi's eyes were watery

Giyuu- Oh don't cry over him pronouncing your name correctly, Aoi

Kanae hugs Aoi

Kanao- Go to your room, Giyuu. It's late.. You have to get some sleep..

Giyuu- Of course mother

Giyuu then walks away, with two gifts in his hand, into the room he is staying in

Aoi~ Giyuu's birthday is in a few weeks Kanao..

Kanao~ I know.. Is that why you were crying?

Aoi does a soft nod

Aoi~ I don't want him to be reminded of his death date..

...

Giyuu puts the gift Tanjiro gave him on his bed

He decided to open Kanao's gift first

Giyuu💭What could've Kanao given me..

Giyuu untied the ribbon and lifts the top off slowly

His eyes widen

Giyuu💭I-is that..?

Giyuu grabs the beautiful butterfly hair clip and holds it delicately

Giyuu- Shinobu...

His eyes start to water

*Knock knock*

Giyuu wipes his tears and places the clip in the box gently

Giyuu- Come in!

Sanemi opens the door

Sanemi- What are you doing, emo?

Giyuu- Opening the gifts Tanjiro and Kanao got me

Sanemi- They got you gifts?

Giyuu- Yeah?

Sanemi- They didn't give me any-

Giyuu- Where's Kaburamaru?

Sanemi- Asleep

Sanemi- They're much more less energetic than before

Giyuu- It's normal

Giyuu- After all-

Sanemi- Don't remind me of his death..

Giyuu💭He's still heartbroken..

Giyuu💭I felt how he felt.. Twice..

Sanemi- Anyways, what gifts did Tanjiro and Kanao give ya?

Giyuu- Kanao got me..

Giyuu- ...

Giyuu grabs Shinobu's butterfly hair clip and shows it to Sanemi

Sanemi- Kanao gave that to you?

Giyuu- She did..

Sanemi- She must really trust you huh?

Giyuu- You could say

Giyuu- Should I open Tanjiro's gift?

Sanemi- Of course!

...

Giyuu💭Right.. I keep forgetting he isn't here.. Oh Obanai..

Giyuu grabs Tanjiro's gift and opens it

Inside was the previous flame hashiras sword hilt

Giyuu💭Wh-what?!

Sanemi- He gave it to you because..

Giyuu- He knew about me and Kyojuro's relationship..

Giyuu- That's why..

Sanemi- That's reasonable..

Sanemi- Put those aside for now.. I have something planned for tomorrow..

Giyuu nods and puts them in there respected gift boxes

Sanemi leaves, saying goodnight

Giyuu💭Kanao knew how I felt for Shinobu after Kyojuro.. D-died..

Giyuu💭Tanjiro knew that me and Kyojuro liked each other expect.. We failed to confess in time..

Giyuu💭They should have done so much for me..

Giyuu's eyes were watering

He felt like crying a waterfall but knew he shouldn't

Giyuu💭I.. Need to sleep.. Sanemi said he had something planned.. For tomorrow..

Giyuu plops down on his bed, after putting the gifts away and closes his eyes and falls asleep

...

Shinobu- Hey hey! Tomioka-san! Look at the stars! They look like they are in a ink you know?

Giyuu- They do.. Don't they..

Shinobu- Now now! I want you to tell me what you feel and think when you look at these stars!

Giyuu- I feel.. Cold..

Shinobu- Hmm? How come Tomioka-san?

Giyuu- It is cold outside.. Unless I'm going crazy

Shinobu- You are right it is pretty cold out!

Shinobu- You know.. There's a song I've heard before..

Giyuu- And that is?

Shinobu- It goes by the lines, "Look at the stars, in the big black ink! Tell me what you feel and tell me what you think! Is it cold outside? Is it cold out?"

Giyuu- It sounds nice.. Doesn't it?

Shinobu- It does!

Shinobu- How about after we kill the demon king, we can go to the place where I heard the song?

Giyuu- Of course, Kocho..

...

Why won't she get out of my head? Why.. Kocho.. Why.. Why did you have to die?!
