Kyojuro watched your body fall limp to the floor before Akaza made a run towards the dark forest, Kyojuro picked your body up after jogging towards you.

"(L/N)-san!)" Tanjiro yelled from a distance, "Inosuke! Pick me up and bring me to Rengoku-san and (L/N)-san!" "Eh?! Who are you to order the gre-" "just take me to-" before Tanjiro could finish, Kyojuro placed you down in-between the two teenagers. Tanjiro shuffled towards you, and despite the faint smell of life radiating off of you he still placed an ear on your heart. It was faint but it's still there, he sighed in relief. "Will she be okay Rengoku-san?" Tanjiro asked, "Yes, but for obvious reasons, we have to wrap her wounds with bandages." Kyojuro stated with a blank face before crouching down to grab your bag filled with basic medical supplies and food.

Inosuke perked at the chocolate bar and went to grab it, "Inosuke, Don't randomly grab people's stuff like that." Tanjiro scolded but Kyojuro assured him that it was fine.

A few minutes later, they finished wrapping your sounds with bandages to slow down the bleeding. Zenitsu also managed to find you both and stayed around with Nezuko's box on his back. Suddenly, a loud squawk was heard from above.

Arriving the Butterfly Mansion was not a pleasant experience. Since Sanemi was there to also recover from a burdening mission, he didn't fail to see you wrapped in bandages like a mummy. To say that he was angry was an understatement, he was enraged or even worse. He was pulling at everyone's hair, chasing them around the house endlessly.

After an hour of lectures from Sanemi, the younger ones stared at the ceiling, your bed was in placed before Tanjiro's, yours was close to the door. Dead silence was heard, well for Zenitsu it's more like hearing organs pump in your body but it scared him that yours were faint.

You were entirely quiet of course as you were in the middle of a coma, but then again, you might die in your coma and then fail to revive you.

Throughout the days, Ayume would make frequent visits at the mansion, and when I say frequent I meant daily. Her visits would reach up to 12 hours where she would just chat and doodle on your bandages since it became a habit to draw on your bandages, besides you don't seem to mind, actually, it's more like you encouraging her to do it more. You, yourself, ordered her to do this. She was also taking over your minor errands such as finding lost kittens and such, she's not a swordsman after all.

Today was no exception, Ayume was doing her paperwork while sitting beside you, murmuring sentences and questions every once in a while. Albeit, it felt a little weird whenever she engages a conversation, it's mostly you who does that.

"A lot of kakushis have been requesting a celebration when you wake up, do you think it's a good idea? Since your their favorite hashira, they  most likely know your interests at heart, and both of us know that your type of party always leaves someone or someplace in shambles. Hahahaha.." Ayume blabbers out while resting her head on her hands, looking at the paper below her with boredom.

Tanjiro looked at your assistant in pity, how long was she gonna put up with this habit? He thought to himself.

At another point of view, you were back at the white void. The cold tile like sensation presses on the backside of your figure comfortably. Your eyelids twitched at the light that shines through your eyelids, you turned to the side but to no avail, you never returned to your relaxing slumber.

You groaned in annoyance before sitting up, you looked around and sighed. You stood up and swayed your body around to ease the lingering awkwardness that crawled in your throat, you gulped and called out, "Hello? Is anyone there?" You asked out to the void, your voice echos and reverbs into oblivion before fading into complete silence.

You stayed quiet in return, you turned around only to be met with a wall of familiar colored clothing. You yelped and backed away, you gasped in realization and slightly looked up to see Yoriichi smiling as usual. You chuckled amusingly and greeted, "Hello Yoriichi, how's it going? The last time I saw you was when I was in the Final Selection."

His smile grew wider as his eyes closed, "Good as usual (Y/N), say, you've grown so much, I can barely notice nor remember the child so full of life. How's it going for you? I've seen that you are now a hashira now, hm?" Yoriichi replied with a pat on the head. The height difference was so distinct.

Back then when you were still training, you were as tall as the mid part of his torso but now, both of you are now the same height. Not an inch superior to one another. You tried to wrap him in your arms and thankfully it worked cause now your smothering him with your warmth. "I'm doing great, and yes I am now the Eclipse Hashira! Wow, we're the same height, I can't believe it! You were so tall when I remember you but now we're the same height, hahaha! Time flies by so fast." You gushed in happiness, Yoriichi patted your back while you hugged him for another good minute.

When you pulled away, a small speck of disappointment filled his eyes from the loss of warmth but he said none. "So, why don't you tell me what was going on throughout the years of my absence?" He asked and you vibrated in excitement.

"I stand corrected, the child that i remember is still there."

Author: the reader's parent raised her to not be a homewrecker.
