O. Iguro; Why I Chose You

11; E l l i p s i s m

With Obanai being busy with his own training, Y/n decided to head over to the region Sanemi's estate had been located in, for she had lots of free time considering nobody had passed Gyomei's training just yet. Most of the time she'd cook for Obanai and his students but today Obanai had refused to reward them with food.

And surely, did she walk with elegance mixed in with irritation as she watches the fight from a close distance. Spotting Sanemi, she walks over to the group who slows down their fighting gradually as they start to see her. Being careful to not touch the sun, she lifts her umbrella along with her leg to bring it down on Sanemi, who seems as equally pissed off as she was.

Looking up, his scowl softens slightly before gasping. Y/n had burned her own ankle despite doing her best to avoid it.  "Y/n?"

"Good morning Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Genya!..Sanemi, let's talk." Y/n smiles at the group of students before walking onto the engawa and over the fallen shoji door. The three boys start to panic slightly.

Sanemi hangs his head down low as he follows behind her. Hearing her small winces due to the burning sensation, he ignores it. Knowing how angry she had to be to pull him away from the crowd and into his own living room.

He watches as she turns around with an eye closed smile. "Sanemi-Kun, Genya is your only blood related family, stop hiding from it and let him apologize. He has his faults and so do you. It was a misunderstanding between you both but I do believe you love him just as much as he tries his best to show you he's sorry. So please, as we reach the final battle... let him know Nemi cares for him." She pats his shoulder before squishing his cheek with a tight grip.

"OW! Y/n!"

"That's what you get for telling him those hurtful things!" She says behind gritted teeth before giving him a rough pat on the back. Walking away and back to where the slayers were so she could encourage them enough to all limp their way to Gyomei and finish their training with him before they got to her.

Upon traveling back to the region Y/n had been assigned to when she became a hashira, she looks straight at her estate from afar to see Tengen with Kyojuro, Mitsuri and Muichiro standing in the shade.

Waving at them, she jogs slightly to greet Mitsuri with a smile before the the girl hugs Y/n tightly. "Why are you all here, has the slayers finished their sessions with you all?" Y/n asks with a smile as they nod their heads.

"IT WENT WELL! KAMADO AND HIS FRIENDS SURELY IMPRESSED ME!" Kyojuro puffs out with a booming laugh.

"I heard from Himejima-San via crow that all slayers have completed training and will come here tomorrow night. I'm quite excited." Y/n says, opening her shoji door for everyone to enter.

"I wonder how they managed to pass Shinazugawa's training, they all look flamboyantly terrible whenever they get to Himejima-Sans training regimen." Tengen says with a chuckle as he watches Y/n brighten up her humble home.

"Wah! It's so cute in here Y/n-Chan!" Mitsuri squeals while walking around in her friends home.

Y/n nods before coming to a halt noticing Mitsuri looking at a photo collecting dust that hung above a ceramic side table. "Is that...?" Y/n nods her head with a sour grin.

"Despite their careless attitudes towards us, I still cannot find a bone in my body to bring myself to hate them. I do hope they're better people in the next life." Y/n looks at the photo of her father and his own three wives who she learned had all committed suicide due to her fathers antics, beside that photo, laid another photography of her and the other Uzui siblings.

Tengen places a hand on her shoulder before sighing, "It's been quite awhile since you've been to your estate, how's it still flamboyantly spotless?"

"One of the kakushi, Goto often cleaned it. Usually I wouldn't care since demon sightings are very rare here and I'm never really here anyways but he offered.— Muichiro if you're tired, you can take the room to the left! There is a set up already there."
Y/n says with a smile, noticing how quiet Muichiro was. As an already silent person, they wouldn't tell the difference between his tired state and his normal state, much like Y/n did.
