PEACE | demon slayer

003

y/n went to the graveyard where all the deceased demon slayers resided in. the air was thick and gloomy but that didn't faze the girl.

she knew all the deceased members of the corps by heart. the cause of their death, their friends, their family and lastly, the letter they had written. it was like she had an encyclopedia in her head. she practiced the same methods as kagaya, memorising the history of the deceased members.

y/n was physically weak. she couldn't contribute much except for training crows for the slayer's mission. that was the only support she could offer and yet, she was highly valued in the demon slayer corps. 

she walked to kyojuro's grave and low and behold, kamane's body was resting on the stone slab, sleeping.

y/n didn't want to startle the crow but wanted to communicate with it or her trip would be in vain. her heart wasn't as strong as she thought it would be as she would cry when people around her are crying. that's just how she was.

"kamane? it's me, y/n... wake up kamane."
y/n called the crow up in a gentle voice. kamane woke up almost immediately. its eyes getting all teary.

"la...lady y/n."
the crow cried out, tears spewing out from its eyes. the crow flew up to her shoulder as y/n took a seat on the grass patch. kamane then nuzzled her bird head on y/n's neck.

"it's alright..."
y/n said in a soothing voice, caressing the grieve stricken bird.

"kyojuro-sama passed a...away. because... of me."
the crow tried to contain its emotion simply couldn't breaking down again.

y/n felt for the crow and unbeknownst to her, tears ran down her eyes and then cheeks.

"it's not your fault kamane... you did your best. my dear, it's not your fault."
y/n reassured the crow who was sniffling.

"if i could fly faster... i could have informed the slayers."
the crow replied guiltily.

"even if so, don't put the blame on yourself. because nothing can be rewritten. what you can do, is to improve, for the future."
y/n encouraged.

"really?"

"really."
y/n wiped her tears and the crow decided to stay with y/n a little more to enjoy her comfort.

there was a figure approaching the two. but his steps were halted.

do i still approach them?
