3rd Person Pov:
"Five times?! I'm drinking this five times in one day?! Am I gonna continue drinking this medicine for three months?! If I drink this, I can't eat any food?! It's super bitter!" yelled the yellow haired male.
While he was screaming at the top of his lungs, a lady with two butterfly-hairclips tried to calm him down, saying: "Please be quiet." But of course that wouldn't work. It didn't take long for Aoi to enter the room, followed by the men that carried the young Demon Slayers.
"That guy's still being noisy..." muttered Aoi, sighing heavily. She then went up to him, sternly declaring: "Please be quiet! I've explained this to you countless times already! I'll tie you up if you don't knock it off!"
Finally having gotten the message, Zenitsu crawled underneath his blanket, sobbing quietly. He was more than just scared of that woman. Tanjiro, who had watched the scene, called: "Zenitsu! Are you okay? You went up the mountains and ended up here..."
Mentioned male gasped, turning to face them. "(Y/N)-chan, Tanjiro..." he said quietly, then ran towards the (h/c) haired girl, hugging her tightly. She gasped lightly, saying: "I-I'm glad to see you again, too, Zenitsu, but you're hurting me."
He immediately let go, taking a look at her, then at Tanjiro. "You're both so beaten up..." he noted, slowly stepping back. Then, Tanjiro asked: "Where's Inosuke? And Murata-san?" "I dunno who Murata is, but Inosuke is next to you." answered Zenitsu, motioning towards the boar man.
"Oh, you're right! He's really just there! I didn't notice!" called Tanjiro, making the man that held him drop him. He fell onto Zenitsu's bed, then crawled towards Inosuke's, saying: "Inosuke! I'm so glad you're okay... I'm sorry, I didn't go to help you..."
"I'm fine. Don't worry about me." said Inosuke, his voice even deeper and raspier than normal. Zenitsu spoke for him. "Seems like his throat got crushed or something." "Eh?!" called Tanjiro out, his eyes wide.
"I don't know the details, but I heard his neck got, like, really smushed. So then, in the end, he let out a really loud scream, but that clinched it, so now his throat's messed up bad." explained Zenitsu, nodding every now and then.
"Guys... Could you please quiet down? I'm really tired..." said (Y/N), being lifted into one of the free beds. She closed her eyes as soon as her head hit the soft pillow. "Of course. Sleep well, (Y/N)." said Tanjiro, walking over to her bed. He brushed strands of her hair out of her face. "Thank you..." she muttered out, finally falling asleep.
All in all, these people were quite injured. Tanjiro has various wounds all over his body, as well as some torn muscles, and a blow on his lower jaw. Inosuke's vocal cords are internally bruised from pressure.
Zenitsu got poisoned by a spider and has to deal with his right arm and leg being shrunken. (Y/N) got poisoned, too, and her whole body did shrink a bit, even if not as much as Zenitsu. She's also covered in wounds everywhere. Oh, and then there's Nezuko, who lacks sleep!
The five of them respectively entered a period of rest in the butterfly estate. Nezuko was asleep. Tanjiro was enduring the pain. Zenitsu was being a bother on his own. (Y/N) was sleeping most of the time. And Inosuke was depressed, even though he got encouraged from his three colleges.
They even got a few visitors. Well, two, to be exact. One of them was Murata. He had visited Tanjiro to tell him what had happened after the whole pillar meeting. Murata himself was summoned there to report about what happened on Natagumo Mountain.
The other visitor was one of the pillars himself, the water pillar, Giyuu Tomioka. Just as he had said, he came to visit his little sister. He sat down at a chair near her bed, asking: "How are you?"
(Y/N) sat in her bed, smiling sweetly at him. "A lot better. My body's almost back to it's original size, and it doesn't hurt that much anymore." she admitted, never letting her smile fade. Tomioka sighed in relief, saying: "That's good to hear."
Sadly, he couldn't stay any longer, thanks to an urgent mission that came in. So, he said his goodbye to the young Demon Slayers, promising (Y/N) that he'll come by again.
Time skip: night time
(Y/N) Pov:
I opened my eyes, slowly sitting up. This is exhausting... I can't even go to sleep now? I let out a quiet sigh, silently slipping out of bed. As quiet as I could, I went out of our shared room, and sneaked outside, into the beautiful backyard.
Once there, I was surprised to hear a familiar voice. Giving in to my curiosity, I sneaked even closer, almost able to make out what he's saying. "...Stronger. I have to get stronger." he said to himself, making me smile lightly.
"Tanjiro?" I asked out loud, wanting to spend some time with him. He quickly turned around, a surprised expression replacing his shocked one. "(Y/N)? What are you doing up so late? You have to go and rest." he told me, stepping closer to me.
I lightly shook my head, smiling lightly up at him. "I'll sleep later, I promise. Let's just stay here a bit, okay?" He returned my smile, taking both of my hands in his. "Fine with me." he told me, leaning closer.
I closed my eyes, my cheeks heating up quite a bit as soon as he had closed the gap between us. I kissed back, feeling him smile against my lips. As we separated, I hugged him tightly, saying: "I wish this night would last longer."
He put his arms around me, kissing the top of my head, saying: "Me, too." Then, we sat onto the soft, green grass, with me leaning my head onto his shoulder. It was really beautiful. The chilly air picked up a few strands of my hair, and the moon gave just enough light for us to make out a few things.
"Tanjiro? Can I tell you something?" I started, looking up at the many, many stars. He hummed, signaling me to continue, which I did. "I was wondering... Back then, you saw it, too, right?" I asked him. He turned to face me, asking: "Saw what?"
"My sword. It was blue when we received them, but suddenly, when I was fighting that Demon with Inosuke, it turned red. And I... I was able to use techniques I've never even heard of." I explained, leaning even closer to him.
Tanjiro thought for a moment, then asked: "What techniques did you use?" "I think it was the Fire Breathing. But I only ever learned the Water Breathing techniques from Sensei. I don't understand it."
He put a hand on my head, asking: "Can I tell you something, too?" I nodded my head, waiting for him to speak. "While fighting with Nezuko, my blade suddenly caught on fire. It was a certain dance my father used to perform when he was still alive. The Hinokami Kagura."
I listened closely, nodding once to let him know that I was listening. "It's a breathing technique, but I don't know of which Breathing it's from." he finished, making me nod once more. I then asked: "So it's possible that I've seen someone using them before? Just like you?"
Nodding, he put his head on top of mine, saying: "That could be it. But I guess we'll have to ask the flame pillar. Just to be sure." I hummed, closing my eyes. "That makes sense. I'll ask Onii-chan to bring him here when he next visits, okay?" I suggested. "That'd be great." he told me, making a small smile appear on my lips.
