Eee chapter 4 😍 - icie

Y/n pov :

You open your eyes from hearing your name. You sit up and see tanjiro struggling to tie the back of his kimono. You would snicker and he would turn his head. "Oh cmon don't laugh" he would say with a sigh. "Do you need help?" You would ask. He would nod. You would stand up and walk over. "Hey on the bright side you almost had it!" you would say to cheer him up. It would obviously work. Because his face wild turn bright red and he would be smiling. "Here sit down really quick." You would say. He would listen. "What are you doing?" He would ask. You would smile and take out a bow. "I figured.. since we might be in this house for awhile. Why not give you a bow that matches your eyes. I found it in my luggage." You would say with a soft smile. Tanjiros cheeks would flush. But he would turn so you can't see. You would begin tying up his hair. Making sure that there were no loose strands or bumps. After being satisfied you would give him a ponytail at the top of his head, then afterwards attaching the new bow to it. "All done!" You would say with a smile.

"Thanks y/n!" Tanjiro would say with a smile. "I'm gonna head downstairs now to see if I can do anything to help. Get ready while I do that." He would say. You would nod and after he leaves the room you would change into a beautiful kimono and do your hair. You planned on going to meet the Tokito house oiran later that night. . As you were young yourself. And you wanted to get to know her better. You made yourself as good as you could be. And you headed down to clean and do your chores. Once you had finished it all. It was around 10 o'clock at night. You realized this was a good time to go meet with the oiran.

You slowly headed towards her room. You would stop by the door. And hear someone talking. "Oh hello. You must be one of the new girls." A female voice says behind you. "Miss Oiran..." you would say, "I came to talk to you." She would smile. "Well come on in then." She would say walking into her room then pausing. You both listened. "You don't know what ashinuke is? It's probably better if you don't. It's when a woman runs away instead of paying her debts." One voice says.

"You two shouldn't spread rumors.."  the oiran says with a frown. "Sorry oiran" two little voices called out. "Miss Oiran... is it true Suma committed ashinuke?" You would walk in as tanjiro would ask. You would blankly stare at him. "May I ask why you are so curious." Oiran would say. Tanjiro would make the most obvious facial expression and say. "You see, believe it or not but .. suma is actually... my elder sister.." tanjiro would say. "What!?" Oiran and the two little girls would say. "I see so you were sold shortly after your sister.." oiran would say. Tanjiro would nod. "I unfortunately do not know anything.. I apologize." Oiran would say. Tanjiro would nod and take his leave, he would nod at you and you would smile. Oiran would send the girls to do a quick chore for her. "Ok oiran! Be right back!" They would both say running out of the room. Oiran would sit down and you would sit in front of her so she can see you.

"Is it just me, or is he fooling everyone but us..." oiran would say. You would start snickering. She would smile. "Did you know too?" She would say. "Yes. But I do want you to know miss oiran-" she would cut you off. "Please call me, Koinatsu. My apologies, continue." She would say. "Of course Koinatsu." You would say, "he does not have bad intentions. Please trust me on that. He has his reasonings. You see.. me and Sumiko are demon slayers. And we are on a mission. We believe that the main reason people are going missing has to do with a demon." You had been whispering to be careful. Koinatsu would nod. "That's what I assumed." You would stand up and bow. "Is that all you needed?" Koinatsu would ask. "No, but we can talk another time. I just wanted to know how to improve my makeup skills." You say with a smile. Koinatsu would smile. "Goodnight then Y/n." You would smile back. "Goodnight Koinatsu."

You would walk down the empty quiet halls. All the other women in the house had gone to sleep. It was silent. Very silent. You didn't like it. Tanjiro was already in bed, nezuko by his side, box door open, asleep. The night you both arrived, he made sure all the windows were closed and covered so no light could get in. You decided to go send a letter to lord tengen. Just small updates. What you hadn't known.. was that a demon was watching you. You stepped out of the house and went to the nearest post office to give your letter to them for lord tengen. You paid to have it sent to him. And you headed back to the Tokito house.

Right as you walked in the door you would hear a sound. You decide to check it out. You find that the sound is coming from an empty room. You open the door and nobody's in there. You stand in the doorway. The room looked normal. It was just an open room they had ready for a new girl to show up. You did the wrong thing and walked inside. Suddenly the doors would slam shut. Scaring you. It would be silent and dark. No signs of life in this room. Suddenly something would hit you across the head, and you would pass out.

You would wake up to hearing your name being called throughout the building. You would go to move but realize you are being held tightly by your arms and legs. Your mouth would be covered as-well. You would look at what is holding you. It would be a pink belt with flowers scattered on it, as well as some yellow spots. "Oh you're awake~ how pleasant~" a voice would echo through the room. Both sinister yet calming. You would start shaking. You knew exactly what was going on. You were face to face with the demon you have been looking for.  You would look up. Your green eyes meeting its orange and green eyes. "Now~ y/n... tell me. Where did you go last night when everyone was asleep?~" you just stared angrily into its eyes. "Cmon~ tell me... where did you go~" it would say more aggressive. "Y/n! Where are you?" You would hear tanjiro and Koinatsu say. You were about to scream for help but the belt then spoke in a low harsh voice. "Make a sound and I will tear you limb from limb." You would put ur head down in defeat. The demon would then have another belt grab your face up. "What beautiful eyes~" you would be lying if you said you weren't shaking. "I think a better punishment for you not listening... is making you starve to death. You could definitely lose a few pounds." At that moment tears would take over your eyes. For years you have been insecure about how you looked. And this just made it worse.

Suddenly you would get whipped against a wall. The belt would fuse with the walls keeping you in that tight grip. You would be on your knees. Being held from every limb by the belt. The only part of your body that was not being held down/up was your head. "I think this will be a great place for you~ they will never find you here. And if they do. The ones that will find you will be killed~" the belt says. "Now, I have more important things to attend to. Stay put." Then, the belt would leave. You still being held onto the wall. I really got myself into a bad situation... lord tengen.... If I don't make it... im so sorry. You would think as tears fell from your eyes. I'm such a failure. You thought as your vision went completely dark.
