It's been a couple of months since the battle with Muzan ended, and I am pretty surprised that I survived. I could have almost died a lot of times if it wasn't for Gyomei-san saving me. May he rest in peace.

Me,the former water and wind pillars were the only ones who survived among the hashiras. I wasn't even conscious for 2 months.

I had lost a hand and a foot, I had to use crutches in order to walk without falling, because of that handling my hair also became a challenge, so I had to cut it. I left the front pieces the way they were so I could still recall my long hair, which my mother loved to brush.

Tanjiro Kamado, he almost became the new demon king if it wasn't for Kanao, who injected that antidote in him. He had lost one of his eye sight and he also grew out his hair. He looked really pretty with long hair, I won't lie.

But for past couple months, even before the war, I had started seeing him differently.

What is love? Was that the feeling I felt when, I was with him? I can't remember feeling like that ever since I lost my memories and regained them back, It's all too blurry even now.

The leaves of the trees moved as they made calming sounds, the sound of water moving, in the lake near the estate. A light mist surrounding the area, as the sun light hit the baloney like a blade. Speaking of blades, the blade that was ones used to slaughter the inhumanly creatures, ones known as "onii" Or demons, laid in front of the uniform which was ones worn by the 14 year old boy, now turning 15 in a few months.

Who sat in his chair, looking out the window, his cold emotionless eyes staring into nowhere as he was deep in thought.

"Why are my lungs hurting, like something is growing in it.. I don't feel well and using total concentration breathing constant is becoming difficult.." I thought to myself as I stared out the window. That's when I heard knocking at my door step.

"Who is it? Doesn't matter.." I mumbled, slowly getting up, adjusting myself in my crutches as I slowly walked towards the gate.

I opened the sliding door to my estate to be met with those crimson red eyes, his tall structure stood in front of me as I stared at him, he wasn't that tall, I mean I also grew a bit taller but it still seemed like he was really tall.

"How are you Muichiro-san! Long time no see?" He said coming in, I smiled at him before noticing someone else was with him. It was.. Umm.. What was her name again? Ah yes! Kanao. She also came with him.

"Konichiwa.." She said in her soft voice, she had the snake Iguro-san used to have, wrapped around her neck, His name I couldn't be bothered to remember. I stayed quiet, directing her to come in as I closed the door.

"So, why'd you come so suddenly? Is there something going on.." I mumbled, sitting on my chair again.

"Oh nothing! Just I wanted to let you know of my relationship!" Relationship..? What did he mean 'relationship'? I thought as I felt my chest getting heavy. "Wha..?" I managed to mumble.

"Yes! Me and Kanao started dating! Yes we kind of grew feelings for each other and I wanted to tell you that.." He said shyly. I felt my heart break into a million pieces, tears forming in the corner of my eyes, I was confused.. Why would he date her and..Why was I jealous? Was I really jealous?

"Oh.. Umm.." I said, trying to pull myself together. "Hmm?" He said turning his head to the side. "Nothing.."

"Oh ok..?" He said in a confused voice again. "I-I'm happy for y-you both" I stuttered, biting my tongue to prevent myself from crying, not only that but.. I was starting to feel..Nauseas?

"I think we should get going now.. We still have alot of people to visit and bye bye Muichiro-san!" He said getting up as Kanao did as well. "O-oh.. Leaving so early?" I managed to cough out, I felt like I was gonna puke and my left lung was starting to hurt.

"Yeah.. We're sorry we couldn't stay longer! Next time I will!" He said, holding her hand as my heart felt even more heavy and the pain in my chest grew.

"B-bye bye.." I said as he waved me goodbye. Just as he left, I couldn't hold myself back anymore. I started vomiting, in front of gate. Tears streaming down my face because of how much it was hurting, I don't remember eating this much. I felt some sort of solid substance fall out with the vomit as I slowly opened my eyes.

A look of pure horror took over me as I saw blood.. Nothing but blood everywhere. That didn't terrify me because I have vomited blood before but there were..flower petals? How were flower petals there? They were soaked in blood and were blue.

I looked around to see if it was from a tree but it wasn't, there were no trees with that flower or even small bushes had that flower.

"W-what.. What is this?"
