My Time As A Demon Slayer (Kimetsu No Yaiba x Male Reader)

Meeting Again (CH.17)

Shinobu's Pov

As me and Y/N walked down from the mountain, and started walking back to the Mansion, an almost countless amount of thoughts passed through my mind. Should I be happy about seeing him again? Should I be angry for him being so inconsiderate for not coming back before? Should I just start blank with him and control my feelings? I honestly had no idea.

However, it was starting to get hard to keep a straight face with him, as he only seemed to care about my sisters. There was nothing wrong with that. They were very sweet girls, and it was easy to see why would he miss seeing them, but after all this months, I thought he would at least want to catch up with what we did in this couple years, but I was suddenly taken back when he said that he wanted to see me.

Just as he said that to me, I felt my face warm quite a bit, and the only thing I could do was keep this sudden excitement to myself. I just wanted to throw my arms around in excitement and squeal, but I had to control myself.

Then, as shyly as it was, I managed to thank him for that, and tried to start a conversation with him. "So...what k-kind of training did you do in this two years?" I asked to him, and after thinking for around a minute, while showing an expression of concentration, he replied to me.

"I think it was a pretty normal training. Maybe similar to yours, but Master made sure to pump it up quite a bit, so I know how to use high level skills. For example, I know how to use the Total Concentration for multiple hours, and I'm in route to use it constantly." It was a bit shocking to hear how far had he gotten, especially since that seemed to be something not even I knew yet, but for some reason, instead of feeling jealous, angry, or something like that, I felt happy for him.

"That's quite impressive." I said. "But don't even think that I'll stay behind." I finished with a light shove to him, with a playful chuckle, which he returned.

We kept talking for quite a while, during which he told me everything he did with his Master, and mentioned what happened just after his visit, and it seemed reasonable that he didn't came back after his Master decided to focus on his training.

A bit surprising to me, was that he asked about my experience and what I did while he was away. It was a bit embarrassing to talk about myself like that, but I didn't mind it that much with him.

I told him pretty much everything I did and what happened. I mentioned how much had both Kanao and Aoi had grown, that we had taken in three more girls, which were almost babies at the time we did, and he seemed pretty excited to go see them.

I believed that that was pretty much it, but as it turns out, he wasn't really satisfied. He wanted to know a bit more about me. If I met some new friends, maybe a new form I created or something.

There were a couple things that I could tell him, but not like he believed. When he asked me if I met someone, he did it with a pretty sassy tone, obviously meaning to ask if I found someone I liked, but I didn't have the courage to tell him that the only person I ever got interested in was him.

I'm not really sure how, but I managed to change the topic. We just started talking about anything else, until he realized that I hadn't mentioned Kanae yet. He asked me if maybe she had been out for quite a while, or maybe she had to move out for some reason, but all of this questions just made me tremble, until I was able to calm myself, and replied. "In some way." I'm not sure if he was satisfied with the answer, worried by it, or something else, but whatever it was, he just left it there and we continued walking. It was hard to keep a straight face, but he didn't seem to notice.

"Well...I hope I get to see her then." He said, with a calm, yet worried face. Him talking in such a confident way about her, made keeping my straight face even harder, but I kept it, and during the rest of the way, we didn't talk about that for the rest of the way. I'm not really sure if he just forgot, or if he noticed that I didn't like talking about it, but I was thankful whatever it was.
