"SANEMI-SAN!" I run over to his limp body. "Hey, we need Ms. Kocho's help!" A Kakushi said, struggling to hold up Sanemi's body. "Y/N..?" He says, looking into my eyes. What? What happened while he was on this mission? I wish I could've done something, but I'm weak! 

I look at the deep cuts and scars that now cling on his body like parasites. "Sorry, am I late?" Shinobu finally appears. "Y/N, Honey, will you help me out?" She asks as she puts one of Sanemi's arms around her shoulder. I nod and put his other arm around mine. "Is he going to be okay..?" I ask knowing Sanemi can hear me. "He will be fine, he is a Hashira after all. He'll probably have to heal up a bit before he can continue his job though." 

After a long walk to the Butterfly Mansion, Shinobu lays him down on a futon. I watch from afar as she disinfects his wounds. His grunts and groans will forever be in my mind. I can't imagine how painful it might be.. 

"There, this should do." She finishes stitching his arm. "Y/N, come here." Shinobu calls out for me. I hurry over to her and sit on my knees. "Yes?" I say, shaking. "Let me tell you his condition. So, he has a deep wound on the side of his waist, and his left eye is temporality blind. I will be providing you with some bandages and some ointment because his wound may bleed sometimes. Also, here's this special ointment for his eye, rub it carefully." She explains to me. 

"I understand." I breathe out, trying to stay calm as I can only see myself staring at Sanemi, unconscious. "I know you are worried, but he will be fine, just treat his wounds right." She smiles. "Hey, Ms. Koch- Oh, you're busy uh, I'll come by again later.." A male voice enters the room. "Oh, no it's fine, what do you need, Kamado?" 

"Well, uh, I just wanted to know if I could say bye to the people I met here before I leave for my mission." He says, scratching his cheek, nervous by what her answer would be. "Of course," Shinobu smiles. "Thank you, Ms. Kocho!" Tanjiro looks at me, and waves. I wave back, amazed. 

His eyes.. They are so pure, he has a good heart, I just know it. Everything about him seems so heartwarming and soft. 

"Thanks again!" He yells, his voice fading as he walks away. "That was Tanjiro Kamado, the boy who will be going on a mission with Kyojuro Rengoku." Shinobu informs me. "I see, he has a pure soul.." I smile, looking back at Sanemi. "He'll stay here overnight, and he can return home tomorrow, I still have to do something when he wakes up." She says, "So you may go back, I'll probably send Mitsuri to come tell you when he's ready to go back home." She smiles. "Okay, I'll be off.." I say as I walk to the door, taking one last glance at Sanemi before I left. 

That man drugged me or something to be this attached to him. 

. . . 

I sit on the zabuton, drinking some tea while enjoying a few rice balls. The only thing on my mind was Sanemi and his health. "I should make him a feast when he comes back home.." I mutter nibbling on the rice. He might not even be hungry.. I shouldn't just assume things. 

It's the middle of the night, how do I know? The moon is in the middle of the sky. I couldn't sleep because I was so worried for Sanemi. I don't even know why I care so much for him.. Maybe Oyakata-Sama was right. We would be a perfect match..?

I sit in the middle of the parlor, reading a romance book I found on his bookshelf. It was quite the good one, because when I finished it, I was tired and ready to go to sleep.
