KNY Various x F! Hashira Reader

Chapter 17

My POV

As soon as the meeting ended I quickly bid my goodbyes and headed straight for my estate. Shinobu had been kind enough to take in the siblings so I didn't have to worry about them anymore

"My head...."

I held my head in pain as I ran straight into my futon. After a minute I fell into that familiar dark abyss

"/N-"

I heard some faint mumbling and then I woke up. I stood up slowly and looked around

"Oh"

I saw the three familiar figures, but then I saw a fourth

"Who's that?"

Yoriichi stepped to the side and revealed a dark haired guy around my age

"It's Rui"

I felt my eyes widen. How was he here? He was killed. I was confused and my head hurt more than ever now. I fell to the ground in pain

"Y/N!"

Koyuki ran to my side and she gently rubbed my back as Kanae also ran beside me. It eased up a bit but it still hurt

3rd Person's POV

The hashira looked up as she stayed next to the purple eyed female and her friend

"Rui, how are you able to be here?"

He looked down

"I'm sorry but I don't recall"

The Divine Hashira sighed but shook her head

"It's ok don't worry"

She held her fingers to her chin as she pondered

"Maybe it was because of the Twelfth form? Wait no because I didn't use that move..."

As she kept muttering to herself the "dead" turned to each other

"So how did you die?"

Rui looked down, ashamed

"I was a demon....I was decapitated"

Yoriichi gave Rui a cold glare

"A demon..."

Koyuki decided to interviene

"You're regretting it though right?"

Rui quickly nodded

"Yes! I just made a poor decision and my family deserved better, I was an ungrateful dying son and I regret what I did to them and everyone else"

Yoriichi looked away and towards the girl

"So what now?"

She paused her muttering and looked at him

"I guess you guys are stuck with me"

She gave them all a genuine, happy smile. The dead felt weirdly happy. They were wanted, they weren't forgotten. For the next few "hours" they spoke and got to know each other a bit better. Yoriichi was still a bit hesitant but he opened up about simple things. The girl soon felt herself start to wake up, she felt a presence outside her mind with her physical body, a strong presence

"I have to go"

She spoke seriously and that surprised the rest

"Yes of course! Please be safe"

She nodded and she felt herself jolt up as she woke from her sleep and reached for her katana

"Woah woah, don't worry I don't want to hurt you!"

She came face to face with captivating rainbow eyes and the words Upper Moon Two engraved on them

"Who are you"

She glared at the figure as she kept her composure

"Oh my! How rude of me..."

The pale figure bowed as he looked up slightly, his rainbow eyes shining slightly in the moonlight

"Please to meet you Divine Hashira, I am Douma"

He stood up and remained still for a second. The girl swung her sword near his neck but stayed still as well

"I see you are as beautiful as they say you are"

The girl furrowed her brows

"Who says that"

Douma smirked and spoke

"Well the demons and our king of course"

Her eyes widened at the mention of the man

"What does he want with me?"

He smiled and pushed her katana away once he saw she was distracted for a bit and had loosened her grip

"Well, I just wanted to see you in person"

He quickly jumped to the window where he had come in from

"We'll see each other for sure Angel"

She furrowed her brows

"Goodbye"

He smiled and faded into the shadows of the night

"What does he mean again?"

She shook her head and sighed. She closed the window and placed some wisteria around it to ward off anyone else who tried to come around. With that, she headed off to sleep
