I slowly close my eyes, humming softly in appreciation at his affectionate gestures. I can feel the love he have for me from these small gestures he's giving me. It makes my heart swell with happiness. God... I really love this guy.

-The Flame Estate-

Y/N P.O.V

I slowly dry my hair with a towel, after having done with my shower. I'm standing in front of a mirror as I slowly remove the towel from my head. I stare at my reflection before on the mirror and stare at myself.

I froze when I notice something on the side of my neck, directly below my right ear. There's a mark. I furrow my eyebrows in confusion as I slowly lift my hand, placing it on top of the mark.

As I run my finger across the surface it left a trail of soft blue, making me even more confused. I move my hand from the mark and lean closer to the mirror to take a closer look at the mark. I frown as I lower both of my hands on my sides as I stare at my reflection, still staring at the weird mark on my neck.

"What the... how did this get here? It was never there before" I mumbled to myself. I shake my head, trying not to think too much about it. I have to hurry, because I've finally able to walk around after days of laying sick on the hospital bed. Onii-Chan and I think it's alright for us to go to Rengoku-San's house. We can't have him wait too long since he had personally invite us to visit him. He's been patient enough to wait for my recovery.

I change into my Demon Slayer clothes and head out of the bathroom. I comb my hair, trying to get rid of the ugly tangled in my hair. This will be the first time we meet the Flame Hashira's family, so I have to make sure that I'd make a good impression.

Rengoku-San walks ahead of us, while Onii-Chan and I quietly follows close behind him. I look forward, noticing a quite huge building. I'm guessing that's where Rengoku-San lives with his father and little brother.

"Welcome to my house, you three" he said. I turn to look at Onii-Chan. I'm a little unsure about this. I don't know what Rengoku-San's father is like. What if he hates us?

Onii-Chan seems to sense my discomfort and turn to look at me. He lift his hand, gently placing it on my head as he starts ruffling my hair gently to comfort me. "It's okay, Y/N. I'm sure it'll be alright. There's for you to worry about, sis" he said. I just give him a small smile as Rengoku-San guides us further inside the estate. He lowers his gaze a little and frowns. "What's that on your neck?" He asked.

I lift my hand to where the weird mark is present. "I'm not sure, Onii-Chan. This mark just suddenly appears on my neck this morning. I first noticed it when I finished taking a shower" I said. He just hum at what I said as he eyed the weird mark.

"Nii-Chan!" Someone yelled out. I turn my head to see a smaller figure running towards Rengoku-San. He wraps his arms around Rengoku-San. Rengoku-San smiles softly as he returns the younger kid's embrace.

Judging by their resemblance with each other, I'd say that kid is Rengoku-San's younger brother. If I had met that kid alone without Rengoku-San around... I'd think Rengoku-San shrinks or something. They look so much alike!

Rengoku-San pulls away from his brother and turn to look at us. "Alright... this is Rengoku Senjuro, he's my little brother. Senjuro... this is Kamado Tanjiro and his little sister Kamado Y/N..." he said, gesturing at the two of us. I bow at Senjuro who smiles at me.

"So you're the one who saved my brother's life?" He said. I blink my eyes at what he said and nod my head. He grins and rush towards me. He grabs a hold of my hand, holding onto it with both of his. "Thank you so much, Née-San!" He said.

I feel someone coming towards us. I turn my head to see a man who looks like both Rengoku-San and his brother. So I'm guessing he's their father. His face didn't look happy at the sight of Onii-Chan and I. I gulp nervously and back away, hiding behind my brother.

"What's wrong, Y/N?" He asked, looking at me over his shoulder. I meekly point at the man. Onii-Chan turn his head and finally took notice of the man in front of us. He just eyed the man, unsure what to do or say.

"What are these two pests doing here??" He spat. I can smell the smell of alcohol coming from him. Even though we're standing a couple of feet away from him. It's a sign that this man is drunk.

"Father. Please don't be so rude to these young Kamado's. Especially the girl. She's the one who saved me and gave me life after I had lost it. She brought me back" Rengoku-San said, moving to stand in front of Onii-Chan and I. I just clutch onto the sleeve of Onii-Chan's haori, feeling uneasy by the man's angry gaze.

His father turn his attention to us. His gaze lingering to me. His eyes visibly widens as if he realizes who I am. "You... that mark on your neck" he said. I furrowed my eyebrow in confusion at what he said. I lift my hand and place it on the mark on my neck.

"Mark... y-you know... about this mark?" I asked. He just glare at me. I take a step closer to him. "Please tell me what you know, Rengoku-San. This mark just suddenly appeared on my neck this morning. I have no idea how or what it meant. If you know something... please tell me" I said.

He clicks his tongue at what I said. He turn his head to look at Onii-Chan. "And you... those earrings. You're a Sun Breather, aren't you??" He said. His voice is full of spite and hate. Why did he hate us when he just met us today. I don't think either Onii-Chan or me did anything to offend this man. So why is he staring at us as if wanted us both to be dead. Just what is his problem?
