YOU STOOD in the waiting room of the hospital after watching the nurses take Draken. You stayed long enough to make sure that the male would be okay before you'd leave. The fact that you would have to come back and talk to him about what he saw made you sigh exasperatedly. Man, that was always tiring.
Just as you were about to leave the sound of the quick footsteps stopped you. "Hey! You're the one who took Draken!" A blue eyed male exclaimed, pointing a bandaged hand at you.
You only stared at them with a blank face before saying, "They are operating on him at the moment. He will survive, the wound didn't hit any internal organs and wasn't that deep." They stared at you in surprise
There was many questions running through their mind; however, before anyone could ask them, a short, long blond haired male walked out from behind them and up to you.
They watched as you the two of you stared at each other before their leader took the initiative and bowed. "Thank you for helping my friend." He spoke, gratitude heard in his voice. "I'm sano manjiro, You can call me mikey. Is there anyway I can repay you?"
You didn't respond, only made a noise of acknowledgment before you moved around him to walk out of the hospital. "Eh!? Wait, what's your name!" The male that spoke earlier yelled out, trying to know more about you.
However you didn't say anything and only continued to walk away before vanishing completely from their sight.
You had a gut feeling you'd see them again.
You didn't like that feeling.

Your whistle traveled through the sky, Kanzaburo flying over once your call reached him. It was around mid day and you were standing cladded in your usual demon slayer uniform and (color) haori, sword in its rightful place on your hip.
"Please take my report to Oyakata - sama and tell him that I believe this mission will take longer than expected." You spoke to the old crow when he landed on your outstretched arm, talons only slightly digging into the fabric. Your companion cawed weakly before deciding to inform you about something.
"That blond boy who was stabbed, he is Marechi. Please make sure he is safe." With that last word, the bird took off flying back to headquarters to give the report.
'Marechi? guess I got to play bodyguard...At least for now.'

Walking into the hospital room, you alerted the person inside when you spoke. "Ryuguji ken?" The said male turned to look at you, a single eyebrow raised. "Hm? Oh, your that person."
Closing the door behind you, you walked further into the room standing only a foot away from the bed. "I suppose you know what I am here for— so I'll get right to the point. What you saw yesterday was a demon."
The male in front of you deadpanned before starring at you seriously. I mean, that thing obviously wasn't human and with the way it just disintegrated— your explanation nightly sounded reasonable right now. But he couldn't take it within himself to actually believe they were real.
"Could you tell me more about them?"
And so you did. You told him about demons and how your organization was fighting to keep them at bay. Though, you kept some of the more deeper details out and only told him the just of what he needed to know.
"So you're apart of this organization that kills demons through out the night," he summarized what you told him before chuckling. "Does that make you some kind of superhero that fights throughout the night?"
"Take it how you will, but it is now my responsibility to protect you." Your voice was blank as your hand unconsciously moved to hold the hilt of your sword. "Huh, why? Am I in danger now that I know all this?" His voice held hidden worry for those around him. Would they be hurt because of him?
"You are of marechi blood— something that is highly valued by the demons. Therefore, since I am to protect your city at the moment, i will be the one to watch over you during that period. I will make sure you and your loved ones are safe."
The male significantly calmed down before he he seemed to realize something and stood up. "My names Ryuguji ken, better known as Draken. Thank you for saving me yesterday night." He sat back down after his bow, not wanting to put pressure on his wound.
"You shouldn't bow, only get stronger and make sure that you and the people you cherish live. I will also be there to help you on that." Your response would seem cold to others but to him, your voice was calming and made him relax even if you didn't intend it to be.
"I will keep that in mind..." his voice trailed off once he realized he did not catch your name through out his time talking to you. "Whats your name?" He asked you when he saw that you were not going to reveal the piece of information.
"Tomioka Y/n." Was all you said before 'flickering' away, leaving the blond male stunned. It was silent for a second before a certain loud- mouthed, short blond came knot his room yelling.
"KEN - CHIN! Are you cheating on Emma?! I heard voices in here!!"
Draken groaned.
