"Shinobu~!"
(Y/N) calls out, running up to Shinobu and clinging onto her haori.

Shinobu looks behind her, over at (Y/N), her smile becoming more genuine towards the (h/c) haired female (unless ur bald again then just say ur skin flakes).

"Is there anything you need help with today?"

Shinobu looks forward, putting a finger up to her cheek as she thinks.
Looking back at (Y/N), she answers, "Nothing for today, just a few check ups."

"Alright, lead the way."

...

Tanjiro sits on the roof of the Butterfly Estate (i think idk im not a fucking roof expert).
Meditating, he focuses on his breathing.

"Moshi mosh! Moshi mosh! Moshi mosh~! Moshi mosh!" A voice softly repeats beside Tanjiros sitting position.

"Yes!" Tanjiro finally opens his eyes.

"I can see you're working very hard."
Shinobu says, her face leaning close to Tanjiros.
"Even though you friends went off somewhere..."

Soft warm breath fans the right side of Tanjiros neck, the opposite side of where Shinobu sits.
In shock of the sudden feeling, Tanjiro quickly turns to his right, his nose brushing against the person beside him.

"Eh? (Y/N)?" He questions, his face turning red at their close proximity. Shinobu leans over from behind Tanjiro to see (Y/N) as well.

"Oh, hi. I was just following Shinobu." She answers, scooting back a bit.

The three fall silent as Tanjiro and Shinobu stare at (Y/N).

Feeling awkward, (Y/N) waves them off, "Continue what you were saying."

Staring at her a bit longer, Shinobu eventually continues.
"Don't you feel lonely all by yourself?" Shinobu asks, turning to look at Tanjiro.

"No! Because once I've mastered it myself, I can teach them how to do it, too! And whenever (Y/N) can, she's always by my side to keep me company."

"You really have a pure soul."

"..."

"Hey, why did you take us all here?"

"Nezuko's situation has officially been acknowledged, and the four of you were injured so horribly. And besides that, I'd like to entrust my dream to you, to both of you."

"Dream?"

"Yes. My dream for humans to befriend the demons. I'm sure that if anyone can accomplish that, it'd be you guys. Since I seem to not be able to make much progress on that, right, (Y/N)?"
Shinobu turns to face her.

"Eheh.. I'm sorry, please, Shinobu."

Tanjiro sniffs the air, turning to Shinobu who subtly shifts her eyes to look back at him.
"Are you angry?" He asks, (Y/N) awkwardly turning away from the two.

Shinobus expression becomes shocked as Tanjiro continues.
"I always pick up this angry scent from you even though you're always smiling."

Shinobu glances over at (Y/N)s tensed form before looking away from the two, sighing as she looks down at her lap.
"Yes. You're right. It might be true that I'm in a constant state of anger. Ever since a demon slaughtered my beloved sister. Every time I see the tears of those who've lost their loved ones to demons, every time I hear those cries of despair, the anger keeps building up inside me and continues to swell. Deep down in the innermost depths of my body, there's a revulsion that I can't fight. I'm sure the other Hashira feel something similar. This time they saw Nezuko, who's never devoured a human, with their own eyes. As well as Kokushibou, a demon that was closest to Kibutsuji, discontinue eating humans upon (Y/N)s request, even Rui who didn't meet her too long ago listened. The Hashira have memorized all three of their presence. Out of respect for the Master's wishes, I doubt anyone would raise a hand to them."
