Chapter Twenty-two - Voting

Muichiro's pov

I sat in our room, covering my ears, trying to block out the yelling that was still coming from the other room. It was like this for twenty minutes now and it didn't seem to be stopping any time soon.

"Is this my fault..? Was I supposed to keep it to myself..? And just not say anything..?" I thought to myself and sighed, not knowing if I made the right choice of telling others.

"Muichiro?" I suddenly heard someone next to me. "O-Oh Kotetsu, you okay?" I asked and pulled my hands away from my ears. He got on my bed and nodded "I don't like when people fight" he mumbled quietly and I nodded understandingly "me too, it's okay, let's just stay here before they stop, hm?"

Kotetsu nodded and I sat closer to him, leaning him on me and covering his ears so he didn't hear their yelling. I hated hearing their yells but Kotetsu was just a kid.. and I didn't want him to hear such things, he doesn't deserve to go through so much.

...

Soon the screams stopped completely and soon Tanjiro and Nezuko came into the room. "...so?" I mumbled quietly and pulled my hands away from Koketsu, laying them in between my legs that I had slightly moved to my chest and my belly while looking at Tanjiro anxiously.

"Well.. Mitsuri doesn't want Shinobu here, Sanemi is... I guess he's not on any side, she sympathizes with both Mitsuri and Shinobu.. I don't know.. let's talk about it more later, I am exhausted" Tanjiro said and I nodded, patting the spot next to me.

Tanjiro smiled slightly and sat down next to me. "..but we won't kick her out.. right?" I asked worriedly and Tanjiro looked down "it depends on how many people will want her out.."

"I don't want her to go.. yes, she did do something messed up b-" I said but was interrupted by Nezuko "she is dangerous to everyone here, she is a yandere"

"Huh..?" I asked and Nezuko explained "yandere is a type of person who is deeply in love with someone and will to anything for the person just so they love them back, Shinobu is that case.. if anyone makes a wrong move with Mitsuri, makes her cry or even just spends more time with her.. Shinobu will get jealous and you'll just be her next target at that point"

"She wouldn't do that to any of us here.. she didn't like Obanai from the start but.. she wouldn't kill Sanemi or me.." I said, trying to defend Shinobu a bit but it was hard after what she did "Muichiro, you need to understand that she doesn't care about anyone else but Mitsuri, if you went to her now and said that you love Mitsuri, she wouldn't hesitate and kill you on the spot"

I shook my head, trying my best to come up with something but I couldn't. Tanjiro wrapped his arm around me and I leaned my head on his shoulder while having Kotetsu laying on my chest.

"We'll decide what we do later.. if most of us vote for kicking her out... we'll do it" Tanjiro said and I slightly nodded "okay.."

Next day

We all sat at a table, about to decide what we will do with Shinobu. Mitsuri sat there, dead staring at Shinobu. It was clear that the last thing she wanted to do now was to be in the same room with her.

"So what is this all about?" Shinobu asked and Tanjiro who was sitting next her laid his hand on her shoulder and said "Shinobu.. you know you did something wrong.. and some of us here just.. really don't want you here after that.. so we decided to vote.. if you'll stay here or end up.. going out"
