It was over, finally, The final battle. Muzan no longer existed, neither did the demons that roamed the night. I was relieved, now everyone was safe. I wouldn't have to worry about Kanao on missions, neither Shinobu..who had passed in battle. We've missed her more than anything, but we pray she's happy in heaven.

A tear fell from my eye as I gulp down, trying not to cry.

I was cooking for the patients, because of most to all of the demon slayers fighting in battle, me and the younger triplet girls have had to heal their wounds. It's been bloody..I can't believe the sacrafices people made in that battle, when it ended, people came with missing limbs, gallons of blood lost, ripped off pieces of skin, etc. So many slayers died in this war, of course we'll be forever grateful.

Ever since the battle, I've felt so alone.. it seems like everybody has their special somebody, Tanjiro and Kanao, Zenitsu and Nezuko, before her death, Giyu and Shinobu. I felt so alone, I had nobody. Absolutely nobody.

My thoughts were interuppted

I heard something behind me, or should I saw someone. I turned my head with a tick mark, that annoying boar guy! "Hey!" I shouted, I heard him gasp and I saw him peck his head up. "Would you stop stealing the food!? It's for everyone!" I heard him try and take more, he was in a hurry to get away from me. I sighed, more tick marks on my forhead. I shoved some of the food I was making onto a plate and set it down on the table he was stealing the food from, "There, that's yours..all the food on there is only for you to eat, just stop stealing food!" I could tell he was confused, "T-Thanks.." "hmm?" I turned my head in suprise, does he have manners? But he had already ran off happily. I felt blush on my cheeks, bright red blush.

Inousuke Hashibara..the boar guy.. I can't stand him! But, unlike others like Zenitsu, I have a large soft spot in my heart for him. He's not incredible, far from it. But I just know he's kind underneath all the bad stuff.

I heard footsteps and turned to see Kanao walking with red cheeks and a dopey smile. "With Tanjiro, huh?" "Heh," she chuckled, "yes..he..he carved me a box to hold Kanae's broken butterfly clip in. H-he's so sweet! Don't you think?" Aoi clenched her fists, Tanjiro used to be a person I loved, one of the only people who treated me kindly, instead of ignoring me and labeling me as a stupid maid..But Kanao was his, and he was Kanao's.. I of course stopped liking him, I wanted my sister to have him, I love her more, she deserves much more. And she's been wrecked after Shinobu's death. Of course Kanao has her special someone, and of course I have nobody..

"Yes..very sweet." "Oh, you aright Aoi? you're face, it seems pale, sickly pale!" she pushed a string of hair out of my face. I felt slight tears in my eyes, "Kanao, can you take hold of the cooking for a bit? I need to rest for a minute.." "O-Oh okay!" Kanao grabbed hold to the knife I was cutting vegetables with.

I ran out to the veranda and sat down, tears gushing from my eyes. I missed Shinobu, I missed Kanae, I wanted all the patients to just be healed! I waned my own special someone..someone who loves me, and someone who I love. I just-

"Hey Aoitsu, what're you doing!? I thought you were cooking." the boar headed man said, I wiped my tears away, trying not to look like a crybaby in front of him. "K..Kanao's doing it..have you finished your food already?" "Mhm," the moment felt..silent.

"I've had Shinobu's cooking, and Kanao made me rice balls once..but their cooking skills don't even match up to yours." he suddenly spoke out, the moment fell silent again, and the only noise I heard was my fastening heartbeat, my cheeks faded into red like watercolors on a canvas. Sweat droplets formed and fell, I felt flustered? Why? Why flustered by that stupid boar? But I appreaciated his words deeply..they mattered..for once he said something that made me feel like I matter, I always thought he thought of me as just a cook, but he seems to actually care..

"O-Oh! T-Thanks..but I'm not all that-"
"I think you are! Open your own restraunt!" the color kept deepening on my cheeks as I clenched my hands together. "N-No..I have to feed the patients! We have so many of them.." "Demons don't exist anymore, so howa about after all the stupid patients leave, you make your own restraunt?" I sighed, feeling sad. He was right, demons were gone and I had a large feeling of relief and happiness, and now I could be calm, but everytime I heard those words I couldn't help but want to cry, I missed Shinobu and Kanae deeply..and the love hashira who would come by and be so kind towards me, and the stone hashira who had helped Shinobu and Kanae, I missed them. I missed the scarred boy, Genya Shinguzawa. Even though I only knew those people for a little bit, they were kind, so kind that they didn't deserve so brutal deaths. Inosuke seemed to calm himself down, and he sat a couple inches away from me.

"Y'know, ever since the demons left for good, I've felt..useless..I felt my purpose was to slay demons since it was something I was really good at and understood more than anyone, but now I've lost my purpose, and there's nothing else for me.." he said, for the 3rd time, everything fell silent. For a guy like Inosuke, I didn't think he had big feelings like that. "I..I guess I can understand what you mean, once all the patients leave, I won't have groups of people to nurse and cook for, and while that makes me relieved, it was fun being someone people depeneded on..I didn't feel useless. I understand Inosuke." he looked at me, and I looked back. His eyes were the color of moss, while mine were the color of sapphires. "Y'know Inosuke, that isn't a bad idea..making a restraunt? Infact you could help me! That way you could learn a new purpose!" "Woah! Really?" "Mhm, I know you have one Inosuke." I saw red radiate on his cheeks.

"Aoi.."

"Hmm?"

"Thanks," he said with a calming smile. And then his head turned away, looking into the night sky.
