Moving forward, I need to make sure I am both mentally and physically prepared for whatever may come. I heard a lot of ruckus in the halls. I got up to go investigate and found out that Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu, and Inosuke had returned from the mission while I was sleeping. I ran down to go see them. Inosuke, Tanjiro, and Zenitsu were sleeping. Kiyo, Naho, Sumi, and a couple of Kakushi were there treating them in their sleep. When Nezuko saw me enter, she ran over to me. She had tears falling from her eyes and was crying.
**Poor thing... I can only imagine what it must've felt like to be there and now be back only to see all your friends in their current conditions... Poor Nezuko.**
I knelt down and hugged her tightly. Even the cheerful and energetic Nezuko was going through it now. I stood back up, but she didn't let go of me so I didn't let go either. I looked at the others sleeping. Tanjiro's skin was pale and he looked the worst of the three. Inosuke looked fine other than some cuts and bruises. Same with Zenitsu.
Kakushi: Lord Y/N... I'm sorry you have to see them like this.
Y/N: Don't worry about it. Thanks for doing everything you can right now.
Kakushi: Of course.
Kiyo: Zenitsu's waking up!
After a few moments, Zenitsu opened his eyes. He stared up at the ceiling.
Zenitsu: Oh...
He looked at Kiyo who was standing next to his bed.
Zenitsu: I see... I died and went to heaven. Now I'm being welcomed by an angel.
Zenitsu reached out and tried to hug Kiyo.
Kiyo: Zenitsu... Again, please be respectful of females.
Zenitsu: Oh...
Zenitsu sank back down into the bed before he looked over at me. He got all bubbly when he saw Nezuko.
Zenitsu: Nezuko-chan~❤ thank goodness you're alright!
Nezuko pulled her face out of my torso and looked over at him. She was still teary-eyed.
Zenitsu: Nezuko-chan, you don't have to cry for me! I'm okay.
Y/N: Zenitsu...
Zenitsu: Yes, Nezuko-chan? I mean... What is it?
I looked down at Nezuko who had her face in my shirt again. I felt that the mood in the room was going to change, but I didn't want them there to hear what was going to be said.
Y/N: Girls, do you mind stepping out for a moment?
They all looked at me and acknowledged the stern look on my face.
Naho: Okay... We're done checking on them.
Sumi: If something goes wrong please call us.
Y/N: I will, thank you for understanding.
The girls left the room and I turned to Zenitsu. Nezuko refused to let me go, so I couldn't send her out either.
Y/N: Zenitsu, what happened... On your mission, what happened?
Zenitsu laid back and stared at the ceiling. He clearly didn't want to talk about it, but I needed some type of closure.
Zenitsu: I assume you're asking because you already know.
Y/N: Rengoku's crow told me. There were 5 of you... How did it go down that way?
I realized I was projecting the blame for what happened to them. Surely everybody tried their best, but I was confused as to how it happened.
