I groaned slowly opening my eyes seeing the same room I've been in for a week now. 

I rolled my eyes gently hearing Zenitsu whine about his medicine. Looking down I saw my chest bare to the world. 

Apart from the bandages wrapped around my chest and stomach. 

I could see little specks of blood decorated the white bandages. I sighed in relief that I was alive.

Slowly getting up I flinched and held my chest. Feeling a dull pain were the tree branch was.

Before Shinobu removed it before she went to the Hashira meeting.

Laying back down I signed and went to close my eyes.

Until I heard someone shout my name.

???: ZOE?!

Turning my head I saw Tanjiro running towards me. When he was at my bedside he started to tear up.

Before I could speak he hugged me gently and sobbed into my shoulder. 

Tearing up myself I patted his back giving him a minute to calm down. 

Pulling away he stared me at with shock and relief.

Tanjiro: I thought you would never wake up!

I giggled and slowly stood up and patted his head. I smiled as he helped me walk out of the room and down the hall. 

I grunted when someone barged past us and nearly fell over. Tanjiro quickly steadied me. 

Looking up I saw-

Looking up I saw-

Me: Genya?

Said male froze and slowly turned around. He tared at my bandaged chest before snapping his eyes to meet mine.

He stuttered out:

Genya: y your t the girl from final selection

I giggled and nodded while straightening myself out. I smiled at Genya with a sheepish look.

Me: yeah sorry about grabbing your ear "notices his changes" ara ara I see someone have been eating there veggies

He blushed as I laughed before coughing and holding my chest. Feeling warm liquid on my on my stomach I looked down.

Blood started to spread on the bandages and I looked at Tanjiro.

Me: Tanjiro would you be a dear and go get Shinobu-san for me

He nodded and took off running down the hallway calling for said women. 

When he was gone I groaned holding my chest and leaned against the side wall. 

Feeling someone support me I looked and saw Genya gently hold me up.

Smiling I asked him to help me sit down and he did.

Leaning away the wall I took a deep breath. Feeling the wound stop bleeding I sighed in relief.

Me: there that should do it "looks at Genya" thank you for the help

He blushed and turned, walking away as I giggled and looked around.

Immediately freezing at the sight of Shinobu walking up to me. 

She has a closed eyed smile with veins popping out on her head.

Me: Uh oh "sees a needle in her hand" TANJIRO HELP MEEEEEEEEE!

??? I'LL KILL YOUUUUUUUU!

Tanjiro: I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY!

Turning I saw him running away from Haganezuka as he chased him with a knife.

I watched them run past me with a deadpan. 

Feeling a presence behind me and gulped at Shinobu I whimpered.

Me: NANI?!

Shinobu: it's to help you recover Hudson-san~

Dodging Kanao's hand I moved to the right and grabbed her arm.

And with that I won the game. 

Hearing the three chibis cheer I giggled and looked Kanao. In turn she looked slightly surprised bowing I said.

Me: you were amazing Kanao!

Later on the time came to blow into the gourd. Hoping for the best that it would break.

Before I saw the size of it.

Groaning I readied myself and took a deep breath. I blowed into it and little cracks started to form before-

SMASH!

All four of us: WE DID IT!

CAW CAW!

Turning I saw Hayami and held my arm out she landed on my hand. 

She cawed and lifted her head up for pets and I giggled as she told me her message.

Hayami: caw you are to assist Rengoku at the infinity train many people have gone missing caw!

Me: thank you Hayami

Lifting my arm up I sent her off with a smile.

Timeskip

Running alongside Tanjiro I grapped the other two boys.

With Zenitsu under one arm and Inosuke under the other I jumped onto the train panting.

Looking at the lowering sun I glared off into the distance, remembering my duty here.

Rengoku will not die!.......

It's time for a Tashio secret

Now that I'm fully healed I can focus on protecting Rengoku!

Nezuko: hmmm hmmmmph!

Until next time!
