Chapter 15

" Distrust "

The next day, Y/N woke up along with the trio. Then the young nurses and Aoi from yesterday came in to give them their daily foods and medications.

Apparently, they were assigned to take care of each of them. Sumi was assigned to take care of Y/N, Kiyo to Tanjirou, Aoi to Inosuke and Naho to Zenitsu.

Sumi came up with a tray of food and medicine to the spaced out h/c haired girl. Unsure of what to do, she just called out her name. Yet again, no response. Sumi tried to see what she was looking at but when she followed her eyes, Y/N was just staring at her wrist.

Sumi tugged at the hem of her clothes. Y/N's head tipped back a little, seemingly put out of her trance. Her empty and tired eyes met with Sumi's.

"Oh. Didn't see you there, sorry 'bout that." Her voice sounded like dry leaves. From her raspy voice, Sumi deduced that the patient in front of her had not opened her mouth for a very long time. Along with the fact that she had not gotten any water yet.

Sumi sat down beside Y/N on the bed and handed her some water.

"Please drink some water first," Sumi said and held out another cup on the tray with a green liquid inside it, " You can drink this after eating. It's medicinal tea."

Y/N blinked her eyes, unable to give a nod. Because of the heavy weight on her head, it felt as even if she just wanted to nod, her head would continuously fall down onto the bed along with her body.

"The drug Lady Kocho used on you was..one of her intense ones. So, even though your injuries aren't the worst, your fever is severe and recovering your strength will be hard." Y/N's mouth formed a thin line as she heard the little nurse's explanation.

There was only one thing Y/N could think about.

Fuck you Shinobu. I hope you choke on your lavender tea. No, no, no, maybe I'll make you choke on the blade of my sword..Yeah, I'll do that. Nevermind Douma choking on you, I'll make you regret this.

Her expression was empty but looking hard enough, you could see the veins on her forehead and her biting the inside of her cheek just to prevent any of her thoughts from spilling out. Though even if nobody knew what she was thinking, what she felt was crystal clear as when Sumi her a set of chopsticks, the moment the utensils were held in her hands, they broke into splinters. The splinters pierced through Y/N's skin and there were drops of blood on her clothes now. Thing is, Y/N's face remained the same, as if she didn't even feel anything on her hand.

Sumi almost fainted after seeing this. She quickly took out some bandages from a nearby desk and tended to Y/N's new wounds. Luckily, the others didn't see this. If they did, they would most likely put her in an isolation room.

Both Tanjirou and Zenitsu shivered at the same time, making the nurse assigned to them, surprised. Tanjirou covered his nose as the sudden thick scent of bloodlust overwhelmed his senses. Zenitsu almost stopped breathing when he listened and heard the words "I'll make you choke on the blade of my sword" and "I'll make you regret this". Inosuke didn't really mind when he felt the atmosphere thicken, he just went with the flow, too depressed to bother at all.

Although the three males didn't see what Y/N did, it was easy for them to tell that she was the reason behind the bloodlust. Meanwhile Aoi just eyed Y/N After seeing the other two make sudden actions. She shook her head before turning back to care for Inosuke.

The whole day, they were all cared for until in the late afternoon, a kakushi came in.

"A message for L/N Y/N!"
