Runaway || A KNY Universe story

Getting Ready !!

"Goodnight.." I softly spoke while lying down on the futon. I stared at the ceiling in deep thoughts. "Hashira..? Who are the hashira..? And what meeting..?"

I slowly then closed my eyes, drifting into a deep sleep.

[First Person]

The next day, I woke up with the sun shining brightly at me through the window. I slowly got up and rubbed my eyes as Shinobu enters the room with her usual gentle smile.

"Good morning! How did you sleep?" She asked me with her hands together.

"Good.." I replied while yawning and rubbing my eyes. It was a wonder how Shinobu-san managed to keep energised and happy..

"Well, let's get you dressed up for the Hashira meeting, shall we?" She gently held my hand into her room and walked towards her wardrobe,
taking out a yellow kimono with a purple like design. It was pretty..

She changed me into the kimono and finished it with the (colour) butterfly hair clip, then holding my hand with her gentle touch as we walked out of the room to the kitchen. There I saw.. Aoi!!

"Shinobu-sama! Good morning! I've made breakfast for you two!" She spoke before continuing onto her duties. I took a bite of the bun and was immediately taken back to nostalgic memories. The days when mama would make her homemade buns for me. I tried to hold back my tears. I really did try.

After we ate, Shinobu-san tied my hair into a half up half down, she is really talented in lots of things. I even saw her injecting one of her experiments in her arm and she's still completely fine!! I wonder what the chemical was though.. It looked purple..

I swung my legs up and down as I wondered curiously on the wooden stool. What is something purple that i've seen before? I was seeing something in my mind but it quickly slipped away after Kanao walked in.

I looked at her with awe. She's so pretty.. her eyes are pretty... My mouth was in a 'o' shape as I continued to stare at her, not noticing her anxious face as she slowly slid away back to her room. Strange.

"Oya? Where did Shinobu-san go?" I thought to myself while looking around the empty room I was in, not noticing a single atom of a human in the room.

I jumped down the stool and ran to the window, watching Zenitsu, Tanjiro and Inosuke training outside. For this past day i've been wondering what they're training for and why they're working so hard.. And what are hashiras?

I just continued to stare with blank eyes, I didn't even care if they were weirded out by me. But something about them training.. Having swords.. It makes me want to.. train with them as well.

"[Name]! It's time to go to the hashira meeting! Are you ready to head off? "yep! I'm ready" I replied before jogging off to Shinobu's voice as she looked at me with her usual warm smile before holding my hand again.

"Come on, we have a big day today.. And try not to get scared by the hashira's, alright? They are our friends and they are your protectors" We walked off as the crows squawked and the trees whispered in the breeze.

I can already sense that today is going to be a good day.
