Aoi's POV
"Ohayo Mina!" I greeted our friends while dragging Kanao with us. "Eh? Where is Name?" I don't see her anywhere. We agreed to go to the mall for shopping session with the others.

"She isn't coming, she went back to her hometown because there was an emergency. Name looked really worried this morning. It was so sudden." Tanjiro explained to us. "Ah I see...in that case we shall see her again next Monday?" I asked. Tanjiro shook his head.

"She might be absent for a week. I guess it's something serious...she didn't tell us anything and she just packed her bags and ran out." Tanjiro continued. That's odd...it's unlike her. We shall contact her later then.

"Man too bad Genya didn't come either," Tanjiro whined. We went shopping after that. "Any more information gathered recently?" I asked. "We found another journal, I think there's more, they were hidden under my family's secret box. My parents decided to show me and I found a book which was similiar to the one you both found." Oh! That's great news. "But...you know those hashiras right?"

"...yeah..?"

"In the journal, the owner wrote the deaths of slayers....8 hashira died due to demons and only left 3 alive. They are Uzui Tengen, Tomioka Giyu and Shinazugawa Sanemi. Eh? Genya's brother and the student council hashira?"

"The journal also said that during the Train mission, the owner traveled with two friends who were Zenitsu and Inosuke. He also brought Nezuko, a demon who doesn't eat anybody. They were on a mission and Rengoku Kyojuro died fighting upper moon 3." Most of us were shocked. Tanjiro then continued.

"During the demon war which was killing the demon king..Muzan...we lost many slayers and a demon who helped us. Her name was Tamayo. Who also coincidencely is Kocho Kanae's helper in the school infirmary. Pretty sure all the other hashiras died. Including our friend Name. That's why her signature wasn't in the other book. That was the last book of the journal series. Only the survivers signed there."

"HOLD UP! SO YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT NAME DIED?? SHE DIDN'T SURVIVE WITH US?!" Zenitsu shouted while we shushed him. He attracted a few people with his loudness. My ears hurt..

Turns out Tanjiro haven't read the whole journal yet so we could read it together soon, he didn't bring it so we're going to do that in school then.

Your POV
'PLEASE BE OKAY!!' You thought as you rushed to the hospital that you have been informed. 'DON'T LEAVE ME DAD!! DON'T GO TO MOM YET! I NEED YOU!!! STAY WITH ME I'M COMING!' You were on the verge of tears. Why... why did your family members leave you one by one..?

At first it was your mother. She passed while giving birth to you. Your father was really upset and stressed out. He was drunk for the first few weeks. But never abused you or hurted you in anyway. Your father's mother helped him take care of you during his hard days. Your father never blamed you for your mother's death. Instead your mother gave him a blessing, you were the star in his life. Whenever you made mistakes, he would correct you and guide you.

Then there was your cousin. Shuen was one of the closest person you had in life. Your best friend, who understood you the most. Your mother figure who helped you since your mother wasn't there for you anymore she took the job. Unfortunately..one night she went out to get some groceries with you. A robber came into the store and many people panicked. You were only 5, you didn't know what was happening.

"Nee-san..?" That was the last words Shuen heard from you. She carried you to the group of people and whispered to them, "look after her, Name... Nee-san loves you..."

"N-Nee-san?? NEE-S-" The adults covered your mouth to make you quiet down if not the robber would shoot everybody. They tried to calm you down as you were panicking and was worried about your cousin's well-being. That's when you heard a gun-shot. You turned to the source and saw your cousin hitting the masked man with chair. That knocked out him but he shot her stomach before fainting.
