To be able to sit down was a very welcome feeling. Your legs were aching and you felt like you were about to fall asleep any moment now.
"If you do wish to sleep, then you are most welcome to." Tamayo said having noticed how drowsy you were getting.
"A-Are you sure that's okay?" You asked, not wanting to be rude.
"Of course it is okay! Being a demon slayer must be very hard work after all!" She gave you a closed eyed smile before you nodded and yawned.
"Don't worry Y/N! I'll tell you everything you need to know when you wake up!" Tanjiro's reassurance was enough for you.
You laid down on the floor, joining Nezuko who had been laid on her back for a while, kicking her legs in the air.
Closing your eyes, you caught a few things that were being said. Tamayo explained how her body had changed over time and that she had removed a curse that had been put on her by Kibutsuji.
But you were too tired to hear anything else, and soon you drifted off to sleep....
"Y/N dear....you need to wake up now! You've got a busy day ahead of you!"
Your eyes quickly opened, the familiar sight of your mothers face filling your vision.
"M-Mother?" You stuttered as she smiled and nodded.
"Yes it's me! Who else would it be? Get yourself up and about! You've got a busy day ahead of you!" She moved away so you could sit up.
As you did, you slowly turned to her and threw yourself at her. Your arms wrapped tightly around her, catching her by surprise.
"F-Forgive me.....p-please forgive me....." An overwhelming sense of relief coursed through your body as you felt your mothers warmth around you.
"Don't be so silly Y/N! How could I ever blame you?" She stroked the back of your head as you sobbed into her kimono.
"I-I wasn't strong enough.....I-I wasn't with you....I-I should've been there...." You continued crying uncontrollably as she gently rubbed her hand down your back to try and comfort you.
"There there my dear.....it must've been a really bad dream you were having...." She kissed you gently on top of your head.
"Y-yeah.....it was...." You sniffed and clung to her even tighter.
"You cannot run from it forever though...." She said in a gentle voice. Her words confused you as you moved back to look at her.
"M-Mother? What do you mean?" More tears threatened to fall as she cupped both of your cheeks.
"You should never blame yourself my dear....if anything, I am glad you were not there. You have a life to live...." She smiled sadly as fresh tears hit her hand.
"P-please mother.....I-I swear I will make whoever is behind this will suffer....I-I will rip them limb from limb!" You snarled as she continued to caress your cheeks with her fingers.
"Hush now my precious child.....do not be angry. I know you will be able to find your inner peace again someday....you just need to believe in yourself...." She slowly began to fade from in front of you as a waterfall of tears streamed down your face.
"N-No mother please.....please don't.....p-please don't do somewhere I can't follow....." You sobbed as you felt her warm hands leave your cheeks and the entire world went white.
"Y/N!!! WAKE UP!!! I NEED YOU!!!"
Your eyes snapped open again as you leapt up off the ground and drew your sword. It cut through something as you landed back on your feet. A puff of air left your mouth as you looked around.
