"My hair grew out a lot during training. Do you think I should cut it?" I asked Fiddling with my hair.

It was the morning I would have to leave for the final section and I decided to stay at the Water estate with Giyuu before I left.

"It looks nice." He spoke with his usual plain expression.

I nodded, "I like it but it's almost reaching my hips! I haven't cut my hair for almost a year and it grows fast."

I waited for my brother to respond. It took a moment but eventually he spoke, "If you don't want to cut it, I could braid it for you like I used to."

I shot my head towards him at the idea, "Yes! That would work!" I exclaimed.

As Giyuu began to braided my hair I recalled the memory of how I used to beg him to braid my hair exactly how Tsutako, our elder sister used to braid it.

I was five and Giyuu was twelve when she died in order to protect us from a demon, even though she was to be married the next day.

After Mr Urokodaki took us in and Trained Giyuu alongside another boy to become 'Demon slayers.'

All I had to remember my sister was a crumbled picture of her and a teddy bear.

Onee-san made me a teddy bear for my fifth birthday but never got to completely finish it before she was killed.

I recall how beautiful she was. She was so kind, I wanted to be like her.

I let out giggle, "Remember how I used to beg you to braid my hair to look like onee-sans?" I could feel Giyuu stop for a few seconds.

"I remember." He spoke. "You always loved to dress up in her kimonos."

I smiled at the memory.

From what Mitsuri said, nii-chan disliked talking too his fellow Hashira. Some even hate him because of that. She says that he was always distancing himself from them and never smiled. Not once.

When we were kids, Giyuu was a sweet child. He was always smiling so I was quite surprised.

"Be safe Y/n! I'll make sure to make you a
lot of food once you get back!" Mitsuri exclaimed giving me one last hug.

I nodded and turned to Giyuu and gave him a hug, he came to see me off.

"Since Kanaos with me I know I'll be safe!" I exclaimed. I waved goodbye and made my way to Mt. Fujikasane.

☁️

It took me a few hours but I finally made it! It was already nighttime but the Wisteria blossoms that were everywhere made it feel brighter. It smelt nice, reminds me of Shinobu.

I take a few moments to enjoy the scenery before walking up the steps and seeing a crowd of people. They all looked around my age.
