“Akaza, are you okay in there?” Y/N asked as she walked to the butterfly mansion, looking over her shoulder to stare at the box on her back.

“….” Though Akaza didn't say anything, Y/N could somehow feel his anger emanating from inside.

“Just so you know, If I happen to walk too fast and the box ends up shaking a lot, it's on purpose.”

“You bi-” Before he could finish his insult, Y/N raised her leg and harshly kicked the bottom of the box with her ankle, making the demon hit his head on the top part. “DAMN YOU-”

“I tripped.” She cut him off.

After a while of more walking, Y/N finally arrived at the mansion and quickly ran to the garden to look for the others.

She immediately recognized Nezuko and Aoi there, hanging some clean laundry. “NEZUUUKOOO! AOOOOIIII!”

“Y/N!” Aoi turned to her with her eyes sparkling. Until a while ago, she would get flustered and say something like 'I-I wasn't waiting for you or anything!', but she stopped doing that recently, maybe she decided to push her shyness apart after noticing that the others have been getting bolder with her.

“AOOOOIII!” Y/N tackled her into a hug, jumping up and down excitedly while forgetting about Akaza. (who was currently having a very hard time inside the box.)

“Are you okay!? Did they punish you?! Everyone was crying because they thought they were torturing you!” Aoi exclaimed with a teary face, clasping both of Y/N's hands.

'…wow… the entire time I was there I only played UNO with the kakushi and ate leftovers from the kitchen, now I feel a bit bad-' Y/N sweat-dropped.

“I KNEW IT, THEY REALLY HURT YOU! THEY ARE ALL SO MEAN!” Aoi ended up misinterpreting Y/N's troubled expression.

“WAAAH! DID THEY HIT YOU, Y/N?!”  Naho, Kiyo and Sumi also started to cry.

“HOW COULD THEY??”

“THOSE MONSTEEEERSSS-!!”

“Ah- No! Actually, it was kinda-” She tried to resolve the misunderstanding, but Nezuko butted in :

“REVENGE! FOR Y/N!” She exclaimed, raising her hands with her cheeks puffed in anger.

“No! No revenge!! Where did you learn that word anyway?!”

“Yeah! REVENGE!” The kids exclaimed, they are about to start a revolution if someone doesn't stop them.

If things weren't already chaotic enough, another voice interrupted them : “YYYYYY/NNNNNN!!!”

Zenitsu had come running as soon as he heard Y/N's voice and was about to tackle her into a hug, but stopped when he noticed Nezuko standing there.

Different from his reaction from the manga, he frowned like he was seeing an annoying thing and said with a sigh : “Whaaa? She can talk now? Ugh-”

With a childish smile, Nezuko pointed to him : “Fuck you!” her sweet voice didn't match at all with the dirty word she just blurted out.

“Cover your ears!!” Aoi exclaimed to the three kids, who obeyed despite their confusion.

“AAAAH! NEZUKO, WHERE DID YOU LEARN THAT WORD?!” Y/N grabbed her shoulders with an exasperated expression, slight shaking her.

“Daki!” She responded with a smile, sparkles floating around her.

'Daki, what the hell did you teach her while I was out?!' Y/N panicked even more.

“Hey! You should know better than to say such dirty things to an angel like Y/N-! EEK-” Just as Zenitsu was about to lecture Nezuko more, she grabbed his hair with a dark aura.

“No. I want to say bad word.” Her sweet voice dropped to a low and menacing one as she almost pulled off his scalp, despite her broken manner of speech, the boy still cowered in fear.

“O-okay, you can!! Just please let go of my hair-” Zenitsu exclaimed with a strained voice, crying from pain.

“Really?! Yay! Fuck you!” She let go of him and happily exclaimed, her normal voice already back.

“She's going to be mortified about that when she gets her human memories back…” Y/N commented, as Zenitsu walked over to stand beside her while trying to fix his hair.

“….Tanjiro will kill us.” He commented.

“Haha! What do you mean US?” Y/N asked, by the smile on her face, Zenitsu could already tell he was about to get in trouble.

She walked over to Nezuko, gently patting her shoulder and saying : “Nezuko, when Tanjiro asks who taught you that word, say in very loud and clear words : 'Zenitsu did!”

“WHAT?!”

“Okay!” The demon nodded.

“Y/N?! NOOOOOO-!!! WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO MEEE-” He latched himself onto her waist, crying loudly against her stomach.

“Come on, you have already been through much worse things!” Y/N brightly said, patting his head.

“YOU ARE ONLY SAYING THIS BECAUSE TANJIRO NEVER GETS MAD AT YOU! YOU DON'T KNOW HOW SCARY HE IS!” He started to cry even more loudly.

“Oh, talking about him, did Tanjiro already woke up, Aoi?” Y/N looked behind her and asked the girl.

“Him? He woke up this morning, I think Goto is filling him up on what happened while he was out.”

“Is that so? Then I'm going to see him! Bye Zenitsu!” She delicately detached herself from his grasp, running over to the house while leaving the group of people behind.

“Jeez, she's been following Tanjiro around like crazy recently, I wanted to expend more time with her too!” Zenitu whined while complaining to no one in particular, though the other girls present at the scene had to hold down the urge to agree with him.

“Oh, I see, so they moved the village…” Just like Aoi stated, Tanjiro was currently sitting on his bed with a food tray in front of him, while Goto told him the details of the aftermath of the fight.

“We've made a number of dead villages, so if anything happens, they can move there.”

“Huh…”

“And man, you were out cold for seven days, you are okay to eat?” Goto asked, staring at Tanjiro stuffing his mouth with an onigiri.

“Yeah! Kanroji-san said to eat a lot, too!”

“That person seems a little weird though… So, apparently, the love and mist pillars slept for two days, then were at full power on the third?”

“Yep! Totally respect them!” Tanjiro exclaimed, munching on his food.

'You're slowly reaching them though… oh so slowly…' Goto stared at him eating.

“Well, at least you're getting better quickly.” The kakushi suddenly commented.

“Yes?”

“I'm so happy everyone is alive. Oh! I really wanted to ask this! I heard something bad happened to your sister, is she okay?”

“Oh, yeah! She can walk on the sun now.” Tanjiro nonchantly said.

“Isn't that bad? Like, really bad? What's gonna happen now, though? What the heck's up with your sister?”

“They're looking into it now, but we don't know. We don't know if she's going back to being human or if she's gonna become a full demon.”

“Lady Kochou is looking into it?”

“No, Tamayo is.”

“Who's Tamayo?” Goto asked Tanjiro at the same time he chocked on his food, coughing loudly. “HOLY SHIT! YOU'RE EATING TOO FAST-!”

“Kof kof-"

“You're just recovering, so take it easy! And uuh… Where are the three little girls? Aoi ain't here either…”

'Phew, that was close…' Tanjiro recuperated himself from his almost death by suffocation. “None of the hunters are in serious condition right now, so they are still playing around with Nezuko, since she can speak a bit now.” He said, drinking a bit of tea from his cup.

“Man, really? That's nice, though I'm pretty sure this peacefulness will be all destroyed when that girl comes back.”

“Huh?”

“TANJIROOOOO! YOU'RE AWAKE!!” Y/N suddenly slammed the sliding door open.

“Oh, speaking of the devil, here she is.” Goto sighed.

“Tanjirooooo!!” She tackled him into a hug, almost making him fall out of the bed with the impact.

“Hey-! You're going to choke him like this!” Goto exasperatedly tried to intervene.

“Tanjiro! Tanjiro! Tanjiro! Tanjiro!” Y/N ignored the kakushi, showering the boy's face with kisses and completely unaware of his how red he was.

“HEY! STOP THAT! HE JUST WOKE UP, YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE HIM HAVE A HEART ATTACK!” Goto finally stepped in, pulling her away from him by her collar.

“Ah- no!" Tanjiro tried to reach back to her, but Goto had already pulled the girl far enough from his grasp.

“See?! He's even crying because you attacked him like that!” The kakushi pointed at him (who had literally waterfall of tears falling out from his eyes), not even realizing that it was his fault that he was crying.

“Really? Sorry Tanjiro! Next time, I will kiss first and then hug!” Y/N exclaimed in response.

“THE ORDER ISN'T THE PROBLEM, YOU IDIOT!!” Goto slapped the back of her head.

“OUCH! WHO ARE YOU ANYWAY?!”

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN, WHO AM I?! I'M GOTO! WE MET BEFORE!!” He grabbed her shirt and started to angrily shake her.

“YOU'RE SO IRRELEVANT THAT I FORGOT!”

“YOU LITTLE-”

“Y/N… uh, that box on your back…” Tanjiro asked, interrupting their fight.

“Oh, this?” She stepped away from Goto, going to a dark corner of the room and silently setting it down on the floor.

“Ta-da, I present upper moon three to you!” She took mini-Akaza out, holding him from under his arms like he was a stuffed toy.

“AAAAAAAH! WHY DID YOU BRING THAT DANGEROUS THING HERE?! GET AWAY FROM IT!!” Goto quickly ran up to her, grabbing Akaza away from her hands.

“HE'S NOT DANGEROUS!!…. I think-” She grabbed Akaza back.

“I HEARD THAT LAST PART! AND I DON'T TRUST YOU WITH IT!” He took the demon back.

“HE'S NOT AN IT!” She once again took him back from Goto's grasp, while Akaza had this look that made it clear he was regretting all of his life decisions.

“You- OW!!” Y/N stomped on his foot with her cheeks puffed in frustration. “That's why you're always getting in trouble!”

“Whatever!” She said, approaching Tanjiro's bed and almost shoving mini-Akaza on his face. “Here! He's friendly now, see?”

“Hey, I don't think-” Akaza tried to speak up.

“Shut up and shake his hand.” Y/N cut him off.

With an annoyed frown, he extended his hand to Tanjiro, who confusedly grabbed it.

“You're going to accept it just like that, Tanjiro?” Goto approached them with a surprised expression. “Man, guys in love really make weird decisions all the time-” The kakushi commented at the same time Akaza was about to shake his hand, making him crush it instead.

“Ow! What was that for?!” Tanjiro backed away.

“Hey! Don't do that! You're supposed to be friendly!” Y/N scolded the demon.

“His hand still being whole is friendless enough from my part.” Akaza blankly responded.

“YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE CRUSHED HIS HAND IN THE FIRST PLACE, YOU JERK-”

“But Y/N, he almost killed you! Why are you guys friends now?” Tanjiro interrupted her.

“I mean, it's not like he's the first one who tried to kill me here! Haha…ha…” Y/N awkwardly said.

“I-I mean- that's true, but he's the one who got closest to it! I'm sorry, even if it's you who's asking, I don't think I can get along with him…”

“Is that so?” Y/N tilted her head. “Well, I can't force you if you don't want to.”

Tanjiro's eyes suddenly widened from realization. “Wait, that makes me remember, for how long have you guys been friends?!”

“Huh?” Y/N jolted.

“Don't tell me, that 'bug bite' from before-”

“Ah, yeah, that was me.” Akaza nonchalantly raised his hand.

“I'm going to abandon you under a bridge.” Y/N immediatly blurted out, suddenly letting go of the demon and making him fall on the floor with a loud thud.

'Yeah. I definitely can't get along with him.'

Though Tanjiro was already used to having rivals, Akaza seemed to piss him off more specially than the others, and, for the good or for the bad, this feeling was mutual.

“Anyway, I'm glad you're okay, Tanjiro! I'm going to show Akaza to Daki now, but I will be back in a while, so don't worry!” Y/N said, smiling gently at him while kicking Akaza back inside the box, ignoring the fact that visually, it looked like she was kicking a child.

After she left, the room got silent for a little while, until Tanjiro suddenly blurted out : “Should I kill him while he is sleeping?”

“Uh-” Goto sweat-dropped, surprised at his personality change. “Maybe it's better to not look for a fight with an upper moon in the condition you are right now…”

“So, when I get better, I will-!"

“No! let me rephrase it, it's better to not buy a fight with an upper moon in any condition.”

“Oh…”
