Nobody's POV:

You sat down against the door, catching your breath. Misaki...was your older sister. You looked into that room and you saw the silhouette of your sister. You missed her. You wished she and your whole family hadn't died. You felt as if you were about to have a panic attack, so you ran upstairs, leaving Tanjiro down there alone. You heard knocking on the door.

"Y/n, are you ok? Can I come in?" Tanjiro called out. You sighed before standing up and turning to the door, opening it. You saw Tanjiro standing there, holding a bento box. "Are you ok, Y/n? You just ran off like that..." He said. "I'm fine, no need to worry! Heh..." You said, smiling a fake smile, acting cheerful. "Y/n— I know you're lying...I want to see if I can help in any way. Can we talk?"

You immediately stopped smiling.

"Come in, then." You gestured for him to sit down beside you on the floor. "Are you comfortable with sharing anything? I surely can leave if you want." Tanjiro said. "No, you're ok." So you started explaining everything, from your family's death to how you became a slayer. "I wanted to find the demon who murdered my family. I want to kill them. I want to make them suffer." You said, looking at the floor. You could feel the tears coming, but you made sure it didn't come.

"L/n-Sama...I-I'm really sorry for asking-"

"It's fine." You stood up. "I should really get going to my estate, goodbye Tanjiro-San." You walked out of the room, as you left the house. You walked slowly to your estate, admiring the flowers that were beside the path. You couldn't smile. You just took one flower, and left. You went to your sisters grave. "Nee-San...it's your favorite flower." You set it down. "I'm still taking care of the blue spider lilies, nobody will find them." You said.

"And I promise to find the person who killed our family and avenge you guys." You grit your teeth. "I promise I will slaughter their ass! They will be sorry..." You stood up. "Goodbye." You went inside your estate. You take off your uniform and put on a Yukata, and started sleeping.

Next morning...

You woke up to the sound of your crow screaming in your ears. "WAKE UP! WAKE UP! KAWWW! TIME TO GO TO KOCHO-SAMA'S ESTATE!" You groaned and sat up. "For what..?" You mumbled. "JUS GET UP! YOUR LATE!" You covered your ears. "Ok, ok! I get it now!" Your crow finally left. You changed into your uniform and put on your haori. You have your katana on you just in case you're called for a mission. With that, you started heading towards the estate.

When you arrive, your greeted with loud yelling. "Y/n-Chan!~ I finally met you!" A boy with yellow and orange hair gave you a hug, smiling weirdly. "Please let go of me..." You said, "Aw, but Y/n-Chan! Let me take you out on a date!" He started laughing too. "I'm a hashira, let go of me you idiot!" You kicked him off you. He deadpanned.

"You...a hashira?"

You glared at him.

"But still! You're still so pretty, go on a date with me! Marry me, L/n-Chan!" He ran to you and tugged on your Haori.

"I don't want to marry you! We're too young!-"

"So that means you'll marry me when we're adults?" He asked, with a hopeful face. "No." You said. "Marry me, please L/n-Chan. Marry me or I'll be alone for the rest of my life! L/n-Chan!!" He begged. You looked at him disgusted. Someone then grabbed him. "Hey, can't you see she's telling you to stop?" A tall boy with white hair and blue eyes, that also didn't look much older than you, grabbed the person with a haori.

"You're disrespecting her. And you're touching her, you already know that she's a hashira, yet you keep acting childish and play around with her? That's insubordination, Zenitsu." He explained. He dropped Zenitsu. "S-sorry L/n-Sama!" Scared, Zenitsu ran off. The boy turned to you. "Are you ok, L/n-Sama? Did he hurt you anymore?" He asked. "N-no, thanks. May I ask...what's your name?" You asked. "My name is Minori Takayama. I'm rank Kinoe." He bowed.

"You don't need to bow, Takayama-San! Thank you, but I must head to Shinobu now! Bye!~" You waved at him while running to Shinobu's office. Minori watched you disappear and smiled, before he left the estate.

With you and Shinobu...

"Is there anything you need, Shinobu-Chan?" You asked. "Well, I was told to tell you that you'll be accompanying Tanjiro, Inosuke, Zenitsu, Rengoku and one other slayer on a mission to the mugen train." You paused for a moment. "Mugen...train?" You muttered. "There has been a demon terrorizing the train and more than 40 people have gone missing." She explained. You nodded. "When is the mission?" You asked.

"It's tonight. Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Inosuke, and the slayer are already outside. They are saying their goodbyes. You should join them quickly!" She replied. "Oh okay. Thanks, Shinobu-Chan!" You left the room. You walked towards the entrance and exited the estate, seeing Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Minori there.

"Hi guys!~" You greeted, happily walking over. "Ah, L/n-Sama!" Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Minori bowed. "May I ask, what is there that you need from us?" Asked Minori. "I'm going on the mission with you guys, isn't that exciting?!" You exclaimed. "Ah, if two hashira's are deployed for this mission...than the demon must be strong." Said Giyuu.

"Right! I must say goodbye now, Tomioka-San." You bowed. "Boys, let's go! It's almost sunset already!" You said, before running into the direction of the train station.

At the train station...

"Ehhh?! What's this big, long thingy? Is it the demon???" You burst out loud in astonishment. "I'm going to headbutt it!" Inosuke ran towards the train and bumped his head. "For goodness sake...it's called a train, and it's not a demon! Do you guys not know what a train is?" Zenitsu said in disappointment.

"Guys...we have to hide our swords! The security will come after us." Minori said. "Minori is right, now hide your swords quickly!" Tanjito put his katana away, but by then, a security guard had already noticed. "Hey! You kids with the katanas!" He yelled. You also noticed how the train was leaving.

"The train is leaving you idiots! Come on, let's go now!" Everyone looked at the train. "Oh crap! The train! We'll miss it!" Zenitsu yelled and cried. "Well, it looks like we're jumping onto the balcony." Said Minori. You guys ran and jumped on it easily, but Zenitsu was about to fall. You and Tanjiro pulled him up.

"Ah, we made it without getting caught!" Said Tanjiro. "Yeah...but I'm amazed. I still don't know what a train is! Let alone know why I even got on it..." You mumbled in embarrassment. Everyone but Minori laughed. "We have to go inside, now. The demon could be anywhere." Minori stated. "Right."

You guys stood in front of the door. Everyone glanced and nodded at each other, before going inside the train.
