The Butterfly and the Shadow (Shinobu x OC)

Chapter 25

Inei's POV. Butterfly Estate.

After running in that distance, I finally arrived at the Butterfly Estate at midnight.

And waiting for my return...........at the entrance of the Butterfly Estate.

Shinobu: Welcome back, Inei.

She greeted me with a warm smile.

I also smiled back.

Inei: Thanks, also, did you just wait for me?

Shinobu: You already know the answer to that, besides, Tanjiro-kun, Zenitsu-kun, and Inosuke-kun are all in their rooms.

Inei: What about Nezuko?

Shinobu: She's asleep.

Inei: I see.

Shinobu: Also......there is someone waiting for you.

Inei: I know. I'm glad she's safe and sound.

Shinobu: Go on, I don't want to interrupt your family reunion.

Shinobu lead me to where my elder sister is.

Shinobu: Maya-san, excuse me.

Shinobu opened the door and inside the room, she's there. The woman that I met in the Red Light District.........

My long lost sister.

Maya: Hm, Shinobu-chan, what's.......

Maya: .............

Inei: ............

Inei: Hello...........

She was initially shocked, until tears began to flow.

Maya: *sniffle* *sniffle*

Inei: I'm home, nee-chan.

Maya-neechan quickly grabbed me for an embrace.......and........

I see, no wonder why.......this feels so familiar.........

Maya: I'm sorry! I'm very, very sorry!

I just couldn't also help but cry because........I never expected that I'll still have a living family member.

Inei: It's all right, nee-chan........

Inei: You only did that to protect me, right?

Maya: Mm! Nee-chan's really, really sorry.............

Maya: But it's fine, I got to see my little brother again.

Inei: Yeah. Thank you, Maya-neechan.

Afterwards, I had a talk with her and caught up with each other.

Maya-neechan told me everything that happened before we were separated. About my past.........
