Frozen Butterfly (Male Reader X Shinobu Kocho)

New Home (Chapter 2)

(Y/n) Pov

"so... this is where we are living now?"

i hear (MB/n) say as we walk up to the Butterfly Mansion. its been a couple of hours since the whole incident with the demon happened, since then we had gone back into the house to grab some of our stuff and now Miss Kanae and Miss Shinobu are taking us to their house to live there for the time being. Miss Kanae has been very nice to us while Miss Shinobu has been... a bit more grumpy with us. It's not that shes not nice shes just.... i don't really know how to even describe it. While we were getting out stuff she bandaged my wrist but is going to do a more in depth check in on it when we get settled in the Butterfly Mansion.

"Yeah, i guess so..." i reply quietly to my little brother, the three of us are finally starting to come to terms with the fact that our parents are dead and gone forever. Its a big shock and its something that doesn't really process for a bit, i just felt like it was a bad dream, like i would wake up any second and my mother or father would be right there to tell me everything will be ok.

But they didn't.

And they never will again.

It took almost everything i had to not cry right when it really hit me that they were gone. I couldn't believe it... i didn't want to believe it. The people who raised me and were so kind to me were dead and gone. Needless to say that me and my two little brothers were all quite quiet on our walk to the butterfly mansion. So quiet that it seemed like even Miss Kanae and Miss Shinobu had taken notice and both, well mostly Miss Kanae had tried to start up conversations but none of us would really talk.

After a few hours we had finally arrived and Miss Kanae decided to show us to our rooms, (YB/n)'s room was first with (MB/n)'s room across the hall, Miss Kanae, Miss Shinobu and i left them in their rooms to unpack as we went down the hall to my room.

When i entered it was similar to my brothers, the room was not particularly big, but there was space, there was a nice bed, a desk and dresser for my clothes.

"Thank you, Miss Kanae and Miss Shinobu" i said as i bowed to them as a thank you for the room

"You don't need to thank us, its alright and you three can stay with us for a while until you either want to leave, or if you choose to, you could join the Demon Slayers, i could help find a cultivator for the three of you"

Kanae responds with a bright smile and i think about it. should the three of us actually become demon slayers? I know its an incredibly dangerous job, but if it would help prevent people from feeling how empty and scared i was feeling right now, i think it could be worth it.

So i reply.

"I think i would like to join, but i want to talk it over with my brothers first ok?"

Kanae nods and smiles as she says "of course, now i will be preparing breakfast, it'll be ready soon, and since your wrist is still hurt Shinobu can you help him unpack what he brought and then come out and eat?"

Shinobu nods as a reply and we watch as Kanae walk away we start unpacking what i brought, which was not all that much since it had to fit in the small basket it carried on my back, mostly clothes but also some memoirs, a painting of my family which i put on the dresser and a blanket that my mother had woven for me when i was little.

"Thank you for helping me" I say to MIss Shinobu quietly and she replies with.

"Its not too much to unpack. and your wrist is still broken so its no trouble"
