Naomi Suishou Homura is the only survivor of her family's massacre by a demon. After spending two years training with Sabito, Giyu Tomioka and the others, Naomi, who's heart was once dead inside her, begins to feel emotions again, and leaves for Fin...
I sit next to Kyojurou on the train after having found him. He'd sent for me to back him up on this mission, and now the train has stopped at a station.
I go up to the flame haired Hashira as I call, "Kyo-kun!"
"Hm?" He turns his head and grins upon seeing me. I quickly hug my friend. "Ah, Naomi-chan! I'm glad you're able to make it!" I tell Kyojurou about my latest mission and he watches me with wide eyes. "Wow! That must've been some mission! I'm glad Tomioka and Shinazugawa were able to save you in time."
"Yeah. Me too! It felt so weird being under that demon's mind control but not having any control over my own thoughts. I still hate myself for nearly having hurt Yu-kun," I say.
"Don't beat yourself up over it. You know that wasn't you," Kyojurou says. I smile slightly at that. He holds out a tray of food for me. "Care to join me?"
"That looks delicious!" I say, taking it. "Thank you!"
"It certainly is! By the way, Naomi-chan, why are you wearing that scarf?"
I nearly choke on my food out of surprise when Kyojurou asks this. Taking a mouthful of green tea, I reply, "It's... It's just cold, okay?!"
"Alright, alright! I was just wondering," He says. Kyojurou and I resume eating. "Delicious! Delicious! Delicious!"

"Um... excuse me?" I start slightly upon hearing a familiar male voice. With my chopsticks still in my mouth, I turn my head to find Tanjiro, Zenitsu and Inosuke beside us.
Swallowing, I say, pointing to each with my chopsticks, "Tanjiro-kun! Zenitsu! Inosuke! What a coincidence!"
"Hey, Naomi-san! What are you doing here?" Tanjiro asks.
"Kyo-kun asked me to help him on this mission. What are you doing here?"
""Kyo-kun...?"" Zenitsu echoes, tilting his head.
"We're here for a mission as well," Answers Tanjiro.
Zenitsu then notices my scarf. "Naomi-san, why are you wearing a scarf? It's not that cold."
"It was chilly this morning so I borrowed it from Yu-kun. Got a problem with that, blondie?!" I snap, feeling my face flush as the boys jump with fright, a glare on my features.
"Waaahhh!! I'm so sorry if I offended you!!" The blonde cries, making me groan in exaggeration.
Kyojurou smirks at me, a knowing look in his eyes. Great. Now that I mentioned Giyu, he'd know the scarf had something to do with him! I can't let them see the bites on my neck. It'll be embarrassing!
Of all the times for Yu-kun to treat me like that...
"Rengoku-san, I need to ask you something," Says Tanjiro. "I know Naomi-san said you might not know, but I figured it couldn't hurt to try, since you're a Flame Hashira..."
