Chapter 2: A Birthday Gift

Y/n would go on these business trips with her father for over a year now now.
She would worry more the more bigger her mother's belly got. She was near her due date. Very close

But her father would tell her not to worry, saying that the first time Yuki and him met was when she threw him out of a bar. . . Like she literally picked him up and threw him out the door.

He said it was love at first sight. Even though he was drunk and probably was seeing double.

"No!" Yuuken was pouting as he held onto his sisters mask and was running from place to place to get away from
Y/n.

Y/n was trying to get ready for the next trip she and her father had to take off in a few hours. But Yuuken was upset and didn't want his sister to leave yet.

It was almost his birthday! And he knew the two took sooooo long!
What if they took too long and missed his birthday?

"Ken! Come on, please give it back. I can't go do business without the mask"
Y/n pleaded. But Ken just shook his head and ran somewhere else in the house. Y/n sighed in exhaustion, she's been chasing Yuuken all over the house and she's tired. For someone so small, he was so fast!

"Mama!" Y/n shouted for her mother's help.

"It's alright. You don't need it." Y/n heard a voice say. She looked behind her and sees her father.
"What? Dad, sensei said-"

"No, I mean you don't need it because the business was cancelled. I just got news, the winter Hashira has passed. . . . " Kastuki said, his voice void of feeling.

"What. . .? "

Instead of going on the business trip, the small family of four, got ready for the Winter Hashira's funeral.

It was hard to see the Winter Hashira's mother and wife cry. It made Y/n re-think her thoughts on wanting to be a Demon Slayer.

Because if being a Demon Slayer will make her mother cry like that? Then she doesn't want it. As they were at the funeral, Katsuki had a small reunion with Tengen.

"Tengen" Katsuki said as he held his sleeping son in his arms.

Tengen nods
"Tsuki, been a while."

The two acted a little off with each other. More awkward, like they were strangers. Tengen knew hadent seen his brothers latest creation, and now he got to finally see him, 3 years late though.

Tengen was about to ask for Y/n's whereabouts, but stopped as he heard jingling of metal. Tengen looked over his brothers shoulder and see little Y/n, who grew a lot since he saw her.

"Father. Mother isn't feeling well, she requested we go home" Y/n said, keeping her head down with her eyesed closed.

"Oh. . . "

Tengen gave his brother a look, and Katsuki understood.
"Y/n. Do you remember your uncle Tengen?"

Y/n lifted her head up and looked up at the tall man. He had a rather odd expression on his face, Y/n just gave out a small forced smile
"Ah, umm. Sorry I don't remember, but it's nice meeting you." Y/n said, bowing her head a little.

Of course, Tengen was a little sad from her not remembering. But at least she still had that necklace he gifted her.

Y/n rubbed Yuuken's back as she rocked back and forth in a rocking chair. Her father left to a business on his own, Y/n had recently hit puberty. And it wasn't very great.

So she stayed behind this time and was just rocking her little brother to sleep. She made sure her mother ate enough for her and the baby in her stomach.

"Hush hush go to sleep, rest my little one. I just adore you, sleep until rise with the sun. . . . "
Y/n remembered this was the lullaby her grandmother sang to her every time share would sleep over.

And she would sing it to Yuuken when she would take him to bed. She gently laid the young boy in his crib and started to get ready for bed herself.

As she was locking all the windows and saving the front door to lock for last, she saw her father standing there.

Y/n squinted her eyes slightly as the moon light was especially bright tonight.
"Pa? Your back?" Y/n spoke.

Her father walked up to her, limping a little. He ruffled her hair and passed by her as he mumbled a good night and an I love you.

Y/n watched her father disappear into the halls. She was too tired to think of anything else then to lock the damn door and sleep. So she did. She locked all the doors and went to sleep.

Y/n's 12th birthday! And also Yuuken's 4th birthday. The two share a birthday, and it might be possible for their new sibling to share the same birthday due to their mother looks like she might pop it out any time soon.

"Oh! Look at this, your brother sent presents for the kids." Yuki said as she held one box that was bigger then the other.

"Oh? Kids! You got some presents from your uncle" Katsuki said. The kids didn't waste time to come running in the room he and his wife were in.

Yuuken got the bigger box while Y/n got the smaller.

Yuuken opens his present and got a Haori!

There was a letter for him that read:

I know it might be a little big, but that should give you motivation to grow big and strong for it it fit like a glove!

-Love the Uzui family

Yuuken loved the Haori. It was black and white with tiny stars that faded at the bottom. Then finally the Kurosawa family crest at the back.

"Sister! Open yowrs!" Yuuken said excitedly. Y/n was too busy enjoying her brother running around in his new Haori she forgot she got a present.

She nods and opens hers.

She was surprised to see a Orcarina instrument. It was wooden like others but this one had their families crest on it as well. It had small rope on each end, meaning she can wear it on her neck.

"Look at that, you have your own Orcarina! You used to love this instrument. Father always played it for you" Yuki said, remembering the old times when her parents were still alive and how they lived entertaining you with their songs and instruments.

Sadly they had past before getting to see Yuuken be born.

While Y/n was practicing to play the Orcarina, Katsuki had decided to get Yuuken ready for a little trip. Y/n was going to come along as well of course. He had a little birthday present ready for them.

•Tisho Era Secret•

Y/n actually gets her strength from her mother Yuki who got it from her mother.
