"Where... Where am I, where's grandma and Rai" You breathed out, swinging your head around looking for the two girls as sweat poured out of your pours "Do you not remember what had happened, we were hoping to hear it from you, Y/n," a male said in a soft soothing voice.

 Your eyes landed on the source of the voice, it was a small frail-looking man, this man had a people scar starting from the top of his head and leading down to his eyes, his eyes held no colour they were incredibly pale.

 A woman sat next to him this woman had white hair, she had an incredibly beautiful face on her face was plastered a calm smile and she looked healthy much healthier than the man beside her. 

"Who are you, where's grandma and Rai and how do you know my name" You exclaimed with wide eyes, pushing yourself away from the duo.

 "You must be frightened but I assure you we will bring you no arm. I am Kagaya Ubuyashiki, you may know me as Oyakata-sama because of your grandmother, if I'm not mistaken and this lady here beside me is my wife Amane Ubuyashiki" Oyakata-sama said in a soothing tone.

 "Hello, Y/n," Amane said, giving you a smile "Oyakata-sama? The leader of the demon slayer corps... I'm so sorry!" You yelled, lowering your head.

 "No need to apologize if it were me, I'm sure I would have acted out of hand as well," Oyakata-sama said with a smile "Caw the hashira will be arriving soon, master," A crow said, landing onto Oyakata-sama's arm.

 'Heh... the crow just spoke' You thought, scrunching your nose "Ah, we should get you changed and dressed" Oyakata-sama said with a smile "Dressed? Ready for what?" You asked. 

"I'm assuming you would like to meet your protected and the few people that will train you to become a demon hunter. You wish to become a hunter, right? or to grow strong enough to stop your sister and to protect yourself along with the flower?" Oyakata-sama said.

 "Rai... I had forgotten about her and... and I do wish to grow stronger please let me meet the people that will train me" you said with determination

-------------------------------------

"This frail skinny, weak-looking girl is supposed to protect the flower!?" Sanemi yelled you were introduced to the nine hashira when the meeting had started, and you learnt that you were saved by the one named Gyomei Himejima.

 "Shinazugawa you should judge someone based on their appearance, take me, Muichiro and Obanai for example. The three of us are small but hold excellent skills" Shinobu spoke out, bringing her hand to her chest. 

'Kyaa, she's so cute how could Shinazugawa-san be against such a girl' Kanroji thought as she squealed "I flamboyantly agree with Shinazugawa, how is she able to protect such an important object" Tengen exclaimed. 

 "Yes, I also agree, master how will this girl protect the blue spider lily" Rengoku beamed "Well, I was expecting for her to be trained by the hashira" Oyakata-sama replied. 

 "I'll train her! I will make her eat lots of food and do lots of stretches. It'll be so much fun!" Kanroji squealed, raising her hand.

 The other hashira along with Oyakata-sama and his two daughters were taken by surprise by her outburst, they stared at the pink and green-haired girl. "I'm so sorry..." Kanroji mumbled, her face turning pink as she bowed.

-------------------------------------

"Wow, who knew having a tsuguko would be this much fun" Kanroji squealed "But Kanroji-san we haven't done anything yet? I've been sitting here for a very long time waiting for you to finish eating" You mumbled. 

"Geh... I'm so sorry" Kanroji mumbled "Caw, Kanroji-sama you have a letter" a crow yelled, flying onto Kanroji's shoulder and handing her a letter "Iguro-sans letter!" Kanroji exclaimed. "Iguro-san? He's the serpent pillar, right?" You ask "Yes, he is. Iguro-san doesn't look like it, but he is super strong and amazing, oh I love Iguro-san, Iguro-san is super kind too!" Kanroji exclaimed.

 "Back then you were saved by Himejima-san, right? Can you tell me what happened, I'm really curious" Kanroji said as she ate another mochi stick? "My memory is still hazy but hopefully I'll remember as the story goes on" You breathed out.

------------------------------

  "Haa... Ha... Haa... Haa" You panted as you ran through the forest 'Where's the village, if I find a demon hunter, they could stop Rai and save grandma' You thought, sobbing. 'I've been running for so long... It should be here somewhere, gah!' You groaned as you tumbled down a ditch and into a pond 'My ankle it's twisted' You winced "You poor girl, let me pray for your pitiful soul and misfortune of events' Gyomei said as he cried, kneeling in front of you. "I should be praying for your grandmother as well, what a tragic way to go. Are you the one, the chosen one" Gyomei asked "The mark, why do you wanna know" You yelled, trying to push him away? Gyomei only kneeled there not saying a single word the silence made you uncomfortable "I have the mark" You breathed out "Come with me" Gyomei said, tugging on your arm only for you to pull it back. "You must be frightened there is no need to be frightened I am Gyomei Himejima, the stone pillar of the demon slayer corps and I have come here to protect you and bring you to the leader of the demon slayer corps," Gyomei said as tears rolled down his cheeks. He tugged you once again and this time you did not pull back, Gyomei had picked you up bridal style as the wind began to gush at your figure, he was running at an incredible speed. You soon felt drowsy and shut your eyes, falling asleep in his arms.

-------------------------------------

"And then I slept for two years, I guess" You muttered, rubbing the back of your neck "Himejima-san is amazing, he's super strong!" Kanroji exclaimed.

 "Final selection is just four months away do you think you'll become strong enough in time?" Kanroji asked, tilting her head "I'm not sure either" You said chuckling nervously "No you will become strong enough in time, no negative thoughts at my home!" Kanroji exclaimed. 

"Do you want to use the same sword style as me?! or do you want to use a regular katana?" Kanroji asked, "Don't you use a regular katana, your katana looks the same as a normal one?" You said, pointing a finger at her sheathed katana. 

"No, mine is very different and difficult to use," Kanroji said, jumping off the engawa and walking over to the small pile of wood just meters away "Let me demonstrate," Kanroji said with a smile.

 Kanroji unsheathed her blade and whipped it around her she had cut the pile of wood multiple times. You sat there in shock surprised at her ability and her katana's.

 "Kanroji-san that looks super cool! I want to use your katana, teach me!" You exclaimed "Yay, I will, I will" Kanroji cheered "First I have to finish my mochi," Kanroji said with a smile, a sigh left your mouth as you looked over to the plate containing at least 30 mochi sticks. 

"Y/n you trusted us really fast, we could have been a group of crazy people" Kanroji muffled out "I guess I, Oyakata-sama's voice kind of just calmed me down. I don't know how to explain it" You sighed.

 "Yes, I understand, okay no more chitchat. It is time to train! Come on!" Kanroji exclaimed, grabbing your arm dragging you along with her "What about your mochi?" You asked, stumbling your feet. 

"I finished them!" She yelled "What" You mumbled, looking at the empty plate "How..."
