Chapter fifty six S2 - Breathing

The training wasn't held at the Ubuyashiki house that the Hashiras and the blind man were staying at before.

Instead, a girl with black hair that turned purple at the tips, that had a butterfly kimono, and had a butterfly pin placed at the back of her head led us to The Butterfly Mansion.

You find out her name was Shinobu Kocho.

There were others here too, Kanao Tsuyuri, a young girl with large eyes that were purple, she had bangs and black hair that was tied to the side with a butterfly pin.

She was quiet and didn't talk much.

Another was Aoi Kanzaki, she has deep blue eyes and straight black hair that has a middle part and is accompanied by twin-tails. It is also pinned up by butterfly pins.

She's very strict and argues with Inosuke a lot...

While they were kept inside to train, Zenistu was recovering from some kind of poison he had gotten from the spiders, you were led outside.

Inosuke tried to retaliate and sneak outside with you but it never worked, he was always smacked in the head with a rolled up piece of paper.

You had tried to sneak away too, but Shinobu and Kanao always caught you just when you could see him. Neither of you ever stopped trying, you were able to see each other sometimes without having to sneak away.

It seemed they had training based on stretching and some sort of cup training.

You were outside focusing on breathing, which made no sense. You already knew how to breathe you didn't need extra training.

They wouldn't continue on with the training till you would learn this "breathing technique"

Inosuke seemed to already have it mastered... but he wasn't a very good teacher. All he did was breathe slowly then tell you to do it.

He tried his best.

Shinobu said it increased the lung capacity and the oxygen in your blood but that didn't help at all.

A day passed and you still couldn't get it.

Zenitsu was healed and even began training with Tanjiro and Inosuke, they seemed to be doing really well at their training.

It made you impatient, you didn't want to be stuck at the bottom while everyone else was ahead, you wanted to fight, you wanted to be able to protect people.

You never wanted to be trapped again.

For the next few days you kept on trying, you stayed up all night just trying to breathe. You were growing but you weren't there yet.

The amounts of nights with no sleep had taken a toll on you, but you were determined. Even Inosuke had told you to rest one time.

You were going to master this Breathing technique. However long it would take you weren't going to sleep till you did.

Eventually you passed out from exhaustion.

Six days without sleep was impressive, but the rest was good for you. When you woke up you felt well rested and stronger in a way.

The sleep calmed you and soon you had managed to breathe more and more.

You had gone to Tanjiro one day to ask how he did it. He said he did it for Nezuko and for everyone else that was weaker. He wanted to protect people just like you did.

You wanted to protect everyone as well, but... you also wanted to protect Inosuke.

You wanted to fight with him. You wanted to be able to help him when he's struggling. You wanted to make sure he never got hurt again.

You wanted to never leave his side.

That night, you mastered your breathing.
