Calm before the storm (M!READER X DEMON SLAYER)

~Butterflies, snakes and crows~

Fujin POV.

We reached a fork in the road and i skidded to a stop and Sanemi-san huffed to a stop behind me. "You...need to stop doing that" he said breathing heavily but still keeping his composure.

"Yada yada yada, Which way is your healer's mansion?" i asked. he pointed left and i turned to him again, "I'm sorry, do you want me to carry you? i said, noticing that his pant was bloodstained at the belt and his wounds were bleeding again. 

"No, thank you." he said awkwardly, "you wont be able to lift me." he mumbled, " i can lift you." i said motioning for him to come.

"fine- eek!" he squeaked a very un-sanemi-like squeal when i lifted him on my back, piggy-back style. "sit tight." i said before blazing the fastest i can to wherever he told me to go.

"stop there!" he said pointing right. i skidded to an abrupt stop in front of a very beautiful mansion. "here we are." i said, setting the hashira down who stood shakily. "did you really need to go THAT fast!" he yelled. "sorry then" i said before turning around and bumping into a girl with a white cape who looked startled. "Ah, sorry. could you tell me where ms... uhm." i said looking at sanemi-san for the name.

"Shinobu."

"Yeah, Ms.Shinobu." i said and the girl took us to her.

"Ara~ Ara~ Sanemi-san, You're back~ and whose this?" She said looking up from bandaging a Blue haired man with a dual toned haori. 

"We had a run-in with a lower-moon. So, if you don't mind Kochou, he burnt his face and i have twenty one cuts on my body" he said, showing his arm to her.

"Ah, okay, Giyuu-san, one minute." she said to the blue haired man, who looked at me with sad eyes.

She led us to an office where she applied some cream to my face and bandaged sanemi's body.

"You really need to stop being reckless Sanemi-san." she said kindly.

"Will consider Kochou, don't worry" he said with alot of respect. 

"And what is your name young man?" she said looking at me, "You don't have uniform, have you not been to your selection yet?" she said, motioning for me to get up.

"I'm Fujin Tankana, my selection is tomorrow, as far as i know." i said, bowing to her.

"I'm guessing you are the Insect hashira?" i said standing up straight again.

"Correct." she said with an everlasting smile, "check his legs, he run's too fast." sanemi-san sneered, leaning back with his arms folded.

"Sure." i said sitting down and Shinobu-san began checking my legs.

"I'm sorry. but what's your name again?" said the man, giyuu, from behind Shinobu-san.

"Fujin tankana, sir, and you?" i said "Tomioka giyuu...water Hasira" he said the last part coming out with a reluctant huff.

"Quit showing off would you? Mr. im-different-from-you-all" sanemi groaned.

"I'm not showing off." he said quietly. "He wasn't showing off sanemi-san." i said to him, sending an apologetic look Giyuu-san's way

"It's Alright, you just remind me of someone i used to know.." He said

"Oh Wh- "BLAH BLA BLAH! WE ALL HAVE LOST SOME ONE SHUT UP!" Sanemi-yelled cutting me off.

"this guy...." i muttered under my breath before getting up and set my blade at his neck.

"Sanemi-san, Let him speak. you just witnessed someone loosing a member of our family and now you're being as cruel and uncaring as the demon's you're sworn to slay, so am i, and i will cut you're head off if you dont stop behaving like a goddamn demon." i said coldly, emphasizing on the word 'demon'.
