Toppling || Kny girls x reader [Book 1]

Prologue

A/N- Yes, another book. Deal with it. After the first time skip, Y/n is 7, Kanae is 9, and Shinobu is 6. After the second, Y/n is 14, Kanae 16, and Shinobu 13. This story will take place when Tanjiro became a demon slayer. I rearranged some of the moments so they would better fit the storyline. I'll probably have Kanae die around the time of Mt. Nataguma.
I also made up the dad's name. It roughly translates to 'angry sinner' or 'angry sin'. Horrible name, but suits him, right?

Third-person POV

------------------------------

"I'm sorry, Y/n. I'll come back for you, I promise," Kotoha spoke in a tranquil voice despite her fear

"No! Mama! Don't leave me!" a very small Y/n cried out, "Why Inosuke but not me?!" Y/n's voice was full of sadness and envy. She was sad that her mother was leaving her and she envied that Inosuke got to go with her.

"I'll come back for you. Don't worry," Kotoha said in the same gentle voice as before.

"Mama! No! Don't leave!" Y/n repeated as Kotoha ran away.

I'm sorry Y/n! This is for your good. Kotoha thought as tears brimmed in her eyes. Kotoha heard Y/n's distant cries, but they suddenly stopped when Kotoha heard another familiar booming voice.

"SHUT UP YOU BRAT! IT'S YOUR FAULT THAT SHE LEFT," The man spoke loudly.

I'm sorry, Y/n. I'm sorry I left you with your abusive father. I'm sorry I left you with Ikasumi... Kotoha repeatedly apologized in her mind until her running came to a stop. A rather large building stood in front of her eyes.

"Ah, welcome to my paradise," A tall blonde man spoke to her "How may I assist you?"

5-year time skip

-------------------------

Why haven't you come back, Mama? You promised. You promised! Y/n thought as Ikasumi kept beating her with a long tree branch. After about 15 more minutes, Ikasumi delivered one more harsh blow and left. Probably to buy more Sake. Mama...You promised... Y/n sat up and let out a wince. Inosuke...Mama...Where have you been? Have you forgotten about me?  As Y/n walked to the door, she couldn't help make excuses on why Kotoha left. Mama is just waiting a little longer, right? Taking care of a five-year-old can be tiring. Yeah. That's it, especially when she's all alone. Y/n kept trying to persuade herself with this thought but a little part of her kept wondering if her mother was in danger, or even dead. 

Mama...I'm gonna look for you...

Y/n walked out of the door with her warmest kimono on. The snow was heavy and Y/n's father didn't bother buying Y/n any shoes because he never thought that Y/n would leave the house. In addition, he thought Y/n was just a worthless brat. Her feet were cold as she ran. Y/n ran as fast and as far as she could go, but eventually, her body gave out and Y/n collapsed.

"Hello?"
