(Name) Rengoku is the twin sister of our lovable flame hashira Kyojuro. What will happen once Tanjiro visits the Rengoku residents after Kyojuro's death? Will (Name) join the hashira after being the apprentice of her older brother? Read to find out...
-Matsumi’s POV- “Hey, do you think I can cut my friend's hair? I’ll pay for the full cost of what it would take if you did it yourself.” The hairdresser was taken aback as she backed up allowing me to do what I needed. “Thank you.” I bowed slightly as I noticed that (Y/n) was already sitting in the seat, but she was sitting at the very front of it.
‘Why is she sitting in the very front of it?’ I thought before looking down to her side, noticing that she was trying to hide her katana. ‘Ohhhh. Let me go find a blanket..’ I thought looking to see that the hairdresser was walking back towards me with a blanket. “Thank you again..”
“No problem, let me know if you two need anything. Plus it is the least thing I can do to help the demon slayers, and I don’t want your friend getting in trouble for her katana.” The female whispered the last part so as to not get us in trouble. “Thank you again, sorry for the trouble.” As I said this, someone came behind her yelling,
“Stop telling people demons exist! They don’t exist you stupid child! Just do your job!” The older male yelled, causing me to get disgusted before getting the look of the woman. This look made me stop what I was doing and stared. I also saw that (Y/n) was watching as well.
*Is everything alright?* She asks as she continues to stare at the hairdressers. *Yes, the old man is saying the female is stupid for believing demons exist.* (Y/n) made an ‘oh’ face before turning back to the two. *Tell her that she wants to stay at the estate with us she can. It’s not good for you to be by yourself when I’m on missions.*
I looked at the hashira shocked. ‘Wha- is she serious?!? She would do something like that for her? And me?’ I thought before nodding, noticing that the old fart is gone. “You okay?” I asked as she nodded before showing me where stuff is. “Yeah, it’s just that stupid old man doesn’t believe me. I have seen them before, it's not like I’m crazy or anything.”
“We believe you. Even so, a hashira has even offered you to live at her estate if you feel the need to.” I said as I signed to (Y/n) in the mirror to see what kind of hair style she wanted. °I have some pictures if you want to go through them.° The hairdresser half signed through the mirror.
(Y/n) clapped as she knew how hard it is for some people to learn sign language. I smiled before saying, “The pictures would be helpful, and when did you learn sign?” I asked as she reached down under the chair for some folders. One was for short headed ones like buzz cuts and side shaven, while the others were for braids and trims.
She had ended up grabbing one for medium length hair and handed it to (Y/n)-san. “My grandma is deaf, but my stubborn ass of a grandpa won’t take the time to learn it, so I did.” ‘Wow that was thoughtful.’ I thought looking over (Y/n)’s shoulder seeing different styles.
She stopped and looked at one of the pages which had three on it. She ended up choosing the second one out of the three and smiled. “Ooooh~ that’s a good one! I responded by giving a thumbs up. The style had longer side bangs as the sides were shorter.

(Here is a picture just in case you don’t understand what I mean.)
(Y/n) spun the chair around after we had finished cutting her hair. She gave it a quick shake before grabbing the back of it. I got what she was going for so I put her hair up in a tiny ponytail as it looked like how the old flame pillar used to have his as it was also yellow and red tipped.
The girl next to me gave me a thumbs up before taking us up on our offer. “I have really thought about coming to stay with you all, and I will have to decline. Thank you for offering, but I can’t just leave my grandpa and grandma as I know how hard it will be for them if I leave. I’m sorry thank you for the invite though. I truly mean it.” She spoke, getting nervous.
I laugh as I put my hand on her shoulder holding a warm smile. “It’s alright we understand, may we know your name before we depart? I am Moki Matsumi and this is the Flame Hashira, Rengoku (Y/n).” She then awkwardly waved her hands in front of her. “Ah! Sorry! I didn’t bow sooner!” She then started bowing deeply before she started speaking again. “My name is Karai. Karai Hinemiya! It has been an honor to meet you.”
(Y/n) then walked up to her and knelt on the ground in front of her. *Hello, you don’t have to bow. In fact it makes me kinda uncomfortable since I am just a person too. I’m Rengoku (Y/n). Nice to meet you. I hope to see you again someday.* She signed which made Karai slightly cry yet she held them back as she nodded.
*You too!* She signed as she bowed again before running back inside the small building which we just came out of. ‘She is such a strange, yet kind girl.’ I thought to myself as I saw (Y/n) walk ahead of me. *What was her name.. I didn’t catch it.* I snickered as I reminded her what the girl’s name was. *Karai? Such a pretty name.* (Y/n) said, as she took me to a ramen vendor.
We sat down after a few seconds of wondering and said, *This is a nice place. When did you first find it?* She smiled towards me before looking down toward her haori. *My brother brought me and my younger brother here a couple times.* My smile fell for a second as I realized her brother was dead, but I responded by signing, *He was a good guy.*
She smiled and signed, *He was.*
