Third person's pov:

Days went by after the semiannual hashira meeting, (Y/N) was sent on several missions in those days so she was not able to meet Tanjiro and his sister formally. Finally, (Y/N) was free from any missions and got a week off so that she could rest and replenish her strength so the girl decided to use these day offs to meet Tanjiro and make him her friend! That day the girl got up earlier than usual and got ready to visit the siblings. She wore her uniform and styled her hair half up with five peacock feathers pinning them securely.

The girl walked out of her estate and decided to meet her peacocks before leaving. If it was not already clear then let me tell you (Y/N)(L/N) loved peacocks, the (L/N) family had been caring for peacocks for centuries. They were known for the beautiful and healthy birds that resided in their estate garden, so it was natural for (Y/N) to have the same fascination for the bird. She walked over where the peacocks sat, eating nuts, berries and grains that were given to them by the kakushi that looked after them and her estate. "My babies" she cooed softly, the birds turned to her and abandoning their food, they made way towards her and surrounded her. There were fourteen peacocks in total that stayed in her estate grounds 24x7 but sometimes ones from the wilderness joined them too.

She caressed each of them on their heads while cooing at them "I missed you all, I am sorry for leaving you all alone for so long. I hope the kakushi took good care of you" she talked to the majestic birds for a little longer before deciding that it was time to leave. "I have to go now but I promise to spend more time with you in the evening" she bid her dear companions farewell and walked away with Shadow, her crow, following her.

After walking for a while she had finally reached the butterfly mansion. Her lips turned up as she thought of meeting the cute demon girl and she happily skipped towards the entrance but suddenly she stopped in tracks, her happy smile turned into a terrified one as she remembered something. She was entering the butterfly mansion which meant that...there would be butterflies somewhere around the place. See, (Y/N) was a really brave girl, if tasked she could kill a number of demons without batting an eye and some might think that she had no fears but that is of course, not true. She did have a fear- no she had a phobia. (Y/N)(L/N) was Lepidopterophobic that is, she had a phobia of butterflies.

It may sound weird or maybe childish but if you even bring one butterfly near the mighty divine pillar, it would not take even a minute for her to run away, screaming as if her life was in danger. Hence, right now the girl stood outside the insect hashira's estate, cold sweat ran down her neck as she slowly made her way in. Taking slow steps, she looked around to make sure there was no danger, her heart thumped inside her chest from even the thought of encountering the flying insect. The girl successfully avoided butterflies in the first part but luck did not favour her, she saw three butterflies sitting near the door which led to the way towards the hospital wing.

She cursed Shinobu for letting these wretched creatures fly around freely. She stood a good distance away with her hand on her chest, feeling as if she would faint any moment. The girl slid down with her trident, now in her hand to save her from the attack of that insect. She sat there with a blue gloomy aura surrounding her and comical tears flowing from her eyes. 'I just wanted a friend' she thought and almost screamed when one of the butterflies moved a little.

As she sat there drowning in her sorrows, she failed to notice three males coming out of the hospital wing. One of them was crying and screaming while the other two dragged him out. The screams caught her attention and she lifted her head to see her saviour standing near the butterflies which did not even move an inch. (Y/N) waved her hands frantically, her trident swaying in the air, matching her hand movements "Tanjiro! Tanjiro! Save me! Get those butterflies out of here!" the girl cried. The said boy was startled and he blushed due to her presence but acted upon her request within minutes so thanks to him (Y/N) could live another day without dying.

She rushed to him and without thinking embraced him, crying out big, comical tears as she dramatically exclaimed "I would have died if you did not come! You are my saviour!" Tanjiro's face went completely red, a beautiful girl was hugging him. "E-ehh! I-it's okay miss...?" he trailed since he didn't know her name. "Oh right, I haven't introduced myself..." the girl left the boy with an embarrassed look, she felt stupid for hugging him and now he knew that she was scared of butterflies "(L/N)(Y/N) but please call me (Y/N)" she gave him a sweet smile and bowed her head lightly "It is nice to meet you (Y/N)-san! I am Kamado Tanjiro as you already know" the boy bowed back lower.

The two did not notice that their environment had suddenly gotten too quiet. The other males present there were completely silent, both for different reasons. "TANJIRO! YOU BASTARD!" screeched the yellow haired boy with veins popping out of his head. (Y/N) turned when she heard the shout and sweatdropped when she saw that it was the same boy who had been wailing a few moments ago, just like her. "HOW COULD YOU KEEP AN ANGEL TO YOURSELF! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT A GODDESS WILL BE VISITING US" the boy screeched and shook Tanjiro vigorously 'He called me a Goddess! I am impressed, he knew I am special' the girl giddily smiled, she picked up the yellow haired boy by his collar like a cat holding her kitten and stared at him with a smirk while Tanjiro and the boar boy stared with shock on how easily she picked up their friend.

"Boy, what is your name?" she asked with a laugh, the boy in her hand looked like he was on cloud nine 'The Goddess has picked me up' was all he could think of "Agatsuma Zenitsu, but please call me Zenitsu my Goddess!" Zenitsu's words boosted her already large ego and she placed him down "Fine Zenitsu-san! But praise me more!" she exclaimed. Zenitsu was literally melting in her hold, a beautiful girl called him by his name, he couldn't be happier. Tanjiro who witnessed this, was irritated. He pulled Zenitsu back harshly making the yellow haired boy stumble and whine "Can you for ones not be embarrassing Zenitsu? She might be weirded out by you!" he said in an annoyed tone, (Y/N) laughed and shook her head "Oh no, Tanjiro-san! I am completely fine! I like being praised" she said with a wide closed eye grin as she was surrounded by hearts and sparkles which made the two blush.

All this time (Y/N) did not speak to the boar headed boy and neither did he utter a word. He just stood there silently staring at the girl, his eyes fixed on the peacock feathers in her hair. When the girl finally noticed him, she turned around and gave him her signature mischievous smile "Hello there boar head! I am (L/N) (Y/N)! An you are...?" The boy looked at her face and huffed, he grumbled and told her his name "Hashibira Inosuke! The God of mountains! And you are not a Goddess as Menitsu said! You are not on my level" Inosuke puffed out his chest and screamed the latter part. (Y/N) was surprisingly not offended by his words and just giggled, she took out one of the extra peacock feather which she carried all the time and placed it on top of his mask in such a way that it was slightly tilted and then secured it with a pin "There! It looks great on you Inosuke-san! I saw you looking at mine so I thought that I should give it to you, here, take a look" she said happily and showed him a mirror, which no one knew where it came from.

Inosuke stared at his reflection for a good minute and then gave the mirror back. He did not say anything, just huffed but fuzzy balls surrounded him and (Y/N) took them as a sign that he liked the gift. Tanjiro and Zenitsu sulked when they saw Inosuke getting a feather from her, what they knew was that peacock related things seem to be her favourite since she has them tucked in her hair and her haori has a peacock feather print too, though the former was not showing his irritation the way Zenitsu did "NO! Why does he deserve a feather from you (Y/N)-san?! He is just a stupid boar!" the boy screamed which angered Inosuke "HAHHH?! What did ya say you pest?!" and with that they started fighting.

(Y/N) stood there laughing at their behaviour, it has been quite a while since she laughed so much. Tanjiro stood beside her and sweatdropped at the three. He then suddenly noticed the trident which was fixed in a belt on her back, he was curious so he decided to ask "What is this weapon (Y/N)-san?" His question caught everyone's attention and the other two boys stopped fighting as well. The girl grinned proudly and pulled her weapon out "This, my dear friend, is a trident. This one is a family heirloom passed down from generations. I have two more at my estate." She said and twirled the trident in her hand "If you don't know then let me tell you, the (L/N) clan had migrated to Japan from India centuries ago. When our clan arrived here, they of course did not know about the terror of demons in this country so you can imagine how they must've felt when they found an upper rank demon in their backyard."

"Confused and scared they picked up any weapon which they could find and this trident was the weapon the first ever divine hashira. He was the one who was able to kill the demon without any breathing style, just by the strength of this weapon. A trident is also considered very significant in the Indian culture as far as I have been told, so, after defeating the demon they considered the trident to be the gift of God and hence they decided to make it a family heirloom. Soon my ancestor developed the divine breathing style and joined the demon slayer corps and since then every generation of the (L/N) clan has been a part of the hashira." She concluded the story and put back her weapon in its holder. The three boys looked at her in awe after hearing about her ancestral history, no wonder the girl radiated dominance and power, she was a part of one of the strongest clans of demon slayers.

"By the way...I have been wanting to ask, why did you all come out of the hospital wing in the first place? Were you going somewhere?" the young hashira asked with her head tilted slightly. When her question sunk in, chaos unfolded in front of her. Tanjiro, Zenitsu and Inosuke ran outside with (Y/N) on their toes "AOI-SAN IS GOING TO KILL US!"

❥ (Y/N) is Lepidopterophobic because a big blue butterfly came out of nowhere and sat on her eye when she was four

❥ Tanjiro loved how (Y/N) smelled, according to him she smelled of tea, peacocks and lotus

❥ Inosuke could sense that (Y/N) was very strong, he wanted to fight her but got distracted by the peacock feathers in her hair.

BONUS:

(Y/N)'s phobia is based on the author's fear of butterflies and something similar had happened to the author when she was four.
