Spoiler Alert [Demon Slayer self-insert]

Spoiler Alert: My legs hurt...

English is underlined.

Please read the A/N last chapter if you do not know why the chapter is shorter.

You woke up aching. You looked around the room to see everyone still asleep. It was dark out, and you assume you woke up due to the pain in your legs. Shinobu was right, it might've been better to just tell Tanjirou.

You tried sitting up only to fall back down onto the pillow. Everything was sore, not only your legs. You guess that you over-exerted yourself back with the spider family. You kind of regretted not killing Rui right when you saw him, it would've saved you the trouble.

You were brought out of your thoughts when a door opened. Your first thought was to turn to the door in the front of the room, but your eyes landed on Nezukos box first.

She climbed out of the box before growing to her normal size and walking over to you with worried eyes.

You looked at her with a smile as she reached her hand towards your covers. She pulled them back making you shiver as she looked at your legs. She reached a hand out and brushed the bandages covering the wounds. You looked like a mummy.

You winced as she pressed on a particularly sensitive spot. While the medicine Shinobu gave you wore off fast, some of its effects lingered. She pulled her hand back and looked at you.

She looked like she was about to cry like she knew that you get hurt like this was because of her.

You sighed and reached to pat her head, even as your arms groaned in protest. She jumped onto the bed and pulled the covers back, moving close to you as you ran your fingers through her long hair.

You sat with her until the sun started to peek out through the mountains, and that was when she was forced to leave your side and go back to sitting in her box. You gave a small kiss on the forehead before she ran off with a blush covering her face.

You tried to go back to sleep but you couldn't with the pain in your bones. You supposed you could just stay awake until Aoi came to give everyone medicine. You just hoped she would bring painkillers with it.

"Y/N? Did you stay up all night?" Tanjirou asked as he slowly but surely sat himself up. His hair was messy but he looked at you with worried eyes no matter how much he was hurting.

You looked over at him with a smile as you nodded slowly, "I wouldn't say all night but sure..."

"I'm super sorry you got dragged into protecting Nezuko! I really thought that it would be okay once I was gone!" He apologized with a yell, shocking Zenitsu into an upright position.

"Don't yell so early! I was sleeping so nicely," Zenitsu yelled at Tanjirou, glaring viciously.

"Sorry..."

"Yes, very sorry," You agreed, saying sorry as well.

"Oh! Are you okay Y/N? Do your legs hurt still?" Asked Zenitsu as he looked at you with a total mood switch. 

You nodded your head again, looking towards Inosuke trying to get them to wake him up as well.

"Inosuke!" Yelled Zenitsu, "Wake up! Bad news!"

"Huh? Buh? Wahah?" He mumbled as he attempted to sit up, only to decide against it and lay back down on the comfy pillow, "What is it..."

You winced at his voice. It was incredibly croaky and strained. He sounded like he was on his death bed. You saw what happened in the anime... you couldn't imagine how much that must've hurt.

"Y/N got hurt! Very hurt!" Zenitsu yelled as Inosuke simply grunted in surprise a bit.

"Don't make him panic, Zenitsu..." You sighed out, jumping a little when Inosuke whipped his head around to look at you.

"They got whipped for something..." Tanjirou explained, "I'm pretty sure it was for protecting Nezuko, but the kakushi didn't confirm..."

You heard a loud snore and sweatdropped. He wasn't listening...

"You two are being very dramatic, I should be the one screaming and crying..." You said with a sigh, "I'm the one who got whipped, not you!"

"I'm surprised you aren't crying," You heard from the doorway, and there stood Aoi. She spoke in a very heavy accent, and It was clear she wasn't used to practicing speaking.

"OMG! You speak English?!" You yelled out in happiness.

"Sure do, I was told about the situation by Shinobu," Aoi spoke, "I'll give you pain meds, I just won't tell them what they are."

"Does Shinobu speak English too?" You asked as she walked over and sat you up.

"Nope, only me and Kanao can," She answered once you were sat up with your back leaning against the wooden backboard, "She doesn't have a whole lot of free time."

"I'll be going to get them some medicine," Said Aoi as she stood up and turned to the boys, "I'll be getting your medicines too as well."

"Will you get them some pain meds? I can't imagine they're very comfortable right now..." Tanjirou asked Aoi with a hopeful look on his face, only for it to be crushed by her response.

"Of course not. They got punished for a reason. You don't have to worry though, I'll get you painkillers so you aren't so sore," She said as she walked to the door and shut it.

"W-wait!" He yelled, before looking at you with tears in his eyes, "I'm so sorry!"

He started to cry again.

Taisho- Era Secret! Tanjirou Style!

Zenitsu said he heard some crying while he was sleeping. I can only imagine it was Y/N, but he didn't clarify who's crying it was. I guess he couldn't guess...
