————————————————————————You were racing so quickly to Shinobu it was as if you were skipping. You were overly happy and felt like you had just drank ten cups of coffee. You couldn't shake this feeling even if you wanted to, but why did you want to keep the feeling to begin with?
———————————————————————

Shaking yourself out of your thoughts, you made yourself present inside of Shinobu's room. Of course you made sure to knock first. Shinobu had a habit of mentally preparing herself for anyone she had to deal with, and didn't appreciate when someone just barged in despite her being a caretaker of sorts for the hashira.

After letting yourself in, you noticed that Shinobu was deep in thought. "Erm, Shinobu-san? Everything alright?" You ask in concern, making her head pop up. "Ah! (Y/N)! Just the person I needed to see!" She said with an delighting tone.

Usually you wouldn't find this suspicious, but something seemed off. You had something close to Tanjiro's sense of smell when it came to people's auras. It was like you could see them, meaning you could sense any sort of deception, happiness, corruption, etc.

Grateful that you have this sense, it can be a burden at times. You could sense that Shinobu was angry despite her calm demeanor. She seemed especially unhappy when you walked in. Not only that, there were small veins popping from her dome, making it quite obvious that she was peeved.

"(Y/N)? Why is it that you refrained from letting me know about Kyojuro's state earlier this morning?" Seeing another vein pop out of her forehead, you responded with haste.

"U-Uh, I-I was going to! Really! But I was trapped. I offered to help Rengoku-kun cool off since i'm always cold. He seemed as if he was in an immense amount of pain, so I let him hold me throughout the time he slept. But due to that, I couldn't break free of his grasp. I sincerely apologize, Shinobu-san!"

You bowed quickly, annoyed by your own course of action. If only you weren't so caught up in Kyojuro's immensely adorable sleeping condition, you wouldn't be in this mess. You hear her sigh and you slowly come up to meet her irritated expression. She places her hand on her forehead, rubbing her temple.

"It's quite alright, (Y/N). I have no right to be angry with you anyway. The medicine I prepared for him wouldn't have worked quick enough since I thought, if it were to reappear, his fever would've been as it was the day before. Your quick thinking helped him greatly, and for that, I thank you."

You were taken by surprise from her utmost honesty, yet you didn't say anything about it in fear that she'd get angry again. "Of course, Shinobu-san. It was the least I could do." You smiled at her and let her know about Kyojuro's current situation, asking if she could check up on him thoroughly.

She agreed and you walked side by side as you both headed back to the room Kyojuro was staying in. Opening the doors, you saw him watching outside of the window, admiring the outside features. You smiled softly, walking into the room behind Shinobu.

She did a check up on Kyojuro, more thorough than her last. She wanted to make sure he was completely healthy this time and that there would be no more chances of his fever returning. "I believe you're completely clear now, Kyojuro. But on behalf of Master's orders, you'll still be off for the week. Master has also asked me to tell you to restrain yourself from training today."
