a few weeks have been since y/n's and the three boys' initial greeting. she has become good friends with them all including inosuke, despite his relentless attempts of getting her to fight him.

y/n also met nezuko. she mistook her for an evil demon at first and began to draw out her powers- that was until she looked nezuko in the eye and all that held was contempt. y/n lowered her guard and rambled apologies at the cute lil demon before she was tackled into a cuddle. y/n couldn't help but hug back, enjoying the warm-hearted smothering. it was just then that tanjiro walked in, his face reddening as he watched two of his favourite people getting along so well. tanjiro commemorated y/n for her unfaltering kindness surrounding his demon sister.

the three boys now trained every day at the estate, going through what seemed like an insane amount of exercise. 'pfft thats childs play.' y/n was really unfazed at their training.

later that day she caught them all in a room with the butterfly girls, aoi and kanao. kanao and tanjiro sat either side of a table with him soaked in a gross looking liquid . y/n chuckled at tanjiros failure to beat kanao, earning an embarrassed blush from tanjiro. "oh l/n-sama im glad you could join us!" aoi cheered, she was always delighted to see the blue-haired girl.

"whats going on here?" y/n asked, stepping foot into the room and making her way to the table covered in cups. "this is reflex training. these cups are filled with medicated water and the aim is to splash it on the other person. right now we have tanjiro against kanao." aoi states, keeping in her laughter about tanjiros unfortunate state. "can i try?" asked y/n excitably, grinning at aoi.

'this is supposed to be the boys' reflex training not hers! well i cant say no to that face, and a few minutes break cant hurt..' aoi thought to herself cheesing on how cute she thought y/n was.

"thanks aoi!" y/n exclaimed taking tanjiros place at the table. "alright.. 3, 2 , 1.. commence!"
y/ns smile grew when it was time to start. kanaos usual stoic expression was warped to one of shock, as y/n splashed the water on her face instantly. y/n apologised to kanao for the mess, and left the room to find cloth to dry her.

the rest of the room was very impressed, unable to comprehend how quick y/n's movements were. once y/n got back she gently held kanaos face by the tip of her finger and dried her off leaving kanao nothing but a blushing mess. "me next!" exclaimed zenitsu, running over to the table and splashing his face with the liquid so he too could be wiped down by y/n. everyone in the room face palmed as y/n sighed and cleaned him up.

"is everyone okay?" a gentle voice chimed in, coming from the door way. everyones head's turned to be met with the insect pillar as she made her way into the room. "eh?! kocho-sama?!ehh nothings going on!" aoi squealed, her face blushed in embarrassment at the state of her rehabilitation training. shinobu kindly just ignored this, waving off aoi as a sign of tolerance. "oh y/n welcome! i see you too are partaking in the reflex training?" shinobu asked charmingly with her iconic soft smile.

"uh.. i guess so! say shinobu, would you mind going against me?" y/n requested, returning her a sweet smile. "well of course! anything for you, y/n."
everyone in the room cocked their heads to side, confused by shinobus provocative words. "the hell that bug lady sayin?" inosuke muttered to one of the butterfly girls to which he got a shoulder shrug in reply. he huffed through his mask. for some reason he just didnt like when people got too comfy with y/n, he didnt know why.

shinobu took over from kanao at the table, staring rather seductively into
y/n's eyes, a small but noticeable smirk etched on her face. everyone in the corps knew shinobu was the fastest hashira, making y/n feel a bit intimidated. she didnt want to embarrass herself in front of everyone!

just before aoi starting counting down, y/n let her hands develop a small glow.

"... and go!"

the cups were moving at rapid speed. with the help of her powers y/n was able to keep up with shinobus inhumane speed. "look at them go!" a butterfly girl shouted pointing at the blur of movement on the table. 'the heck?! their movements are so fast my eyes cant keep up with any of it!' tanjiro thought, audibly gasping.

at this point y/n and shinobu have been going for a few minutes and theres been no advancements. y/n was tiring herself, a drop of sweat making her way down her forehead as she clenched her teeth in frustration. shinobu too was getting quite sick of it as seen by the vein popping out her temple.

another few minutes went by and y/n could feel herself letting up. she knew this for definite when her and shinobus hands clasped on a cup, stagnating the match. shinobu squeezed y/n's hand and said "it seems like we have come to a tie .. my dear".
y/n felt her face get slightly rosy and she looked away in embarrassment. "eh yeah i guess we have.." y/n replied unsure of how to respond.

"no need to be embarrassed sweetie" shinobu spoke, bringing y/n's hand up to her face to kiss the back of it.
everyone in the rooms jaw went slack at this, discombobulated at shinobu, the insect pillar herself, so openly flirting with the new girl.
y/n's face exploded with red as she yanked her hand back and ran out the room screaming internally. 'i cant believe she just did that!! in front of everyone?!'

shinobu chucked cutely to herself as if nothing just happened at all. "i will see you all later, ive got some duties to attend to." she smiled and left the room in the blink of an eye.
as she walked down the corridor thr blue haired lady was the only thing on her mind. 'y/n is just so beautiful, too kind and innocent.' shinobu let her face turn to a scowl. 'i wont let that demon douma get his filthy hands on you y/n. ill kill him for you. i swear by it.'
