-.-.-<3-.-.-

Sora made sure to visit Tengen and everyone else at the butterfly estate, as well as get her cut on her hand checked out.

"It seemed to have healed nicely. The stitches can be removed once Shinobu is finished checking up on Tanjiro and his friends." One of the kakushi smiled, though it was not visible, Sora could tell it was there. She nodded and thanked her as the kakushi wrapped the scar back up with new bandages.

Sora sat down next to Tengen, who was awake but still a bit drowsy from the medication. His three wives were outside getting some fresh air,  so it was just Sora and him alone once the kakushi left.

"Im sorry." Sora said, breaking the silence. Tengen looked at her with confusion, unsure as to why she of all people were apologizing.

"Sorry for what?" He asked, and Sora sighed. She thought about what she had seen in her dream, and the fact that she just let it happen. "I can see it on your face. My injuries aren't your fault, Sora."

"But i feel like they are, Uzui. I saw it all happen in a dream the night before it happened, and i didn't think anything of it. I let it happen to you. If i had reacted quicker i would have been able to go with you and help. I could have prevented this all. I could have preserved your spot as a Hashira." Sora mumbled, looking down at her lap. She felt guilty for all that has happened.

"Look, we all know that every day we stay a Hashira, the chance of us risking our lives grow. It was bound to happen to one of us, and it just so happened to be me. It was not your fault and it couldn't have been prevented, no matter what you say." Tengen said, and Sora nodded lightly. There was a short pause, before Tengen spoke once more. "Now, this is no way to be welcoming me back! Where is that wonderful smile, huh Sora?" He chuckled, and Sora laughed with him, her signature smile on her face.

"There, all done. Now, you still wont have full movement in your hand just yet, but you should be able to do your duties as a Hashira." Shinobu smiled, taking her gloves off. "As long as you take it carefully, that is!"

"Of course, thank you once again, Kocho." Sora said, bowing to Shinobu. Sora made her way out of the room Shinobu was in and towards Tanjiros. She wanted to check up on him to make sure he was doing okay after what had happened.

Sora entered his room, seeing Kanao sitting next to Tanjiros bed.

"Ah, is he not awake?" Sora said softly, standing at the door frame. Kanao looked over from Tanjiro and shook her head. "It is to be expected.. he went through a lot back at the entertainment district, so i don't blame him."

Sora just stood there for a moment, before humming. She pulled something out of her pocket, walking over to the table next to Tanjiro and placed a piece of paper on it.

"If and when he wakes up, please make sure he reads that. I don't know when ill be back here, so i am trusting you with it, Kanao." Sora smiled, and she nodded. Sora made her way back to the door, looking back. "I wish you a quick recovery, Tanjiro.." she mumbled, turning around and closing the door behind her.

Sora was relaxing in the small hot spring, when Sayuri suddenly hopped in, scaring her.

"Holy crap Yuri, when did you guys get back?" She asked, calming down. Sayuri chuckled at her reaction, sitting back against the warm rocks.

"Like, 10 minutes ago?" She answered, before humming. "You never told me one of your Hashira friends were so hot.." she mumbled, and Sora looking up at her.
