you wave them bye and follow shortly after your crow who was leading you towards the estate.

HALFWAY THERE, YOU HAD MET UP WITH THE FLAME HASHIRA.
he talked your ears off the whole way there, telling you about his brother.
you admired him for that, you had never seen someone who loved their relative that much, obviously except your own siblings.
soon later, you had both started approaching a nice-looking estate.
"this is it!"
you just follow behind him, he opens up the gate and you both walk in through the garden.
he opens up the gate and motions you to go first, you bow and walk forwards.
"father, senjuro! i am home!" he says loudly like usual.
you turn to the side as you hear small footsteps approaching, turning the corner towards you both is a young boy, almost identical to rengoku, except younger. he looked around 12.
you blink,
are they twins born at different times or something?
the young boy looks at you, "u-uhm.. aniki, who is this?"
"hm, senjuro, meet [name] todoroki, my tsuguko!" he smiles.
you bow your head slightly, "nice to meet you"
his eyes shine and the boy blushes slightly, "u-uhm.. i like your hair" he turns away with a red face.
rengoku laughs out loud while you blink, "a-ah.. thank you, i like your hair too.."
the boy flushes and even deeper shade of red.

YOU HAD SPENT THE WHOLE DAY TRAINING, AND WOW, IT WAS PRETTY EXCRUCIATING.
he had told you about how all of his other tsugukos had left, and you could see why.
but you couldn't blame him, if you can't learn to train yourself properly, you will never become strong.
you had noticed his younger brother, senjuro, watching the both of you train while he cleaned. you had to admit, he was a very cute young boy.
he seemed like the shy type, and he also seemed pretty timid.
though you had yet to see his father, you heard him call out to him earlier, but maybe he was just in his room.
but rengoku had lead you to a room, it was nicely decorated and had a soft futon set up. he told you that is where you would stay.
so currently, you were lying on your futon, just thinking over things.
how are tanjiro, inosuke-sama, and zenitsu-kun doing? in wonder did they beat tsuyuri-san? have they fully healed yet? is inosuke-sama's voice better? has zenitsu-kun's arms and legs grown all the way back to normal?
you sigh, that was to much thinking for your usually empty head.
you were exhausted, but just couldn't fall asleep. was it the thoughts of the others well-being keeping you up? or the wondering what you're doing tomorrow?
who really knows, but it all seemed to trail down to one thing.
home.
you missed shoto, natsuo and fuyumi. you wonder if you'll ever see them again, or will you die in this world, and possibly get reincarnated without them?
it had been approximately four years since you have seen them, and probably around 10 or more since you had seen touya.
oh did you miss him also. he often plagued your thoughts, even back in your own universe. some nights you would lie awake, hoping that he would come back home, you would never admit it, but he was always your favourite.
you missed the days where you would sneak food into his room when your father was still training him, or when he would patch your wounds after you were trained.
you were so in your thoughts, you hadn't even noticed the wet substance dripping down your cheeks.
