I walked down the hall and was about to open the door to wear all the hashira we were meeting when I heard Uzui talking.

"It's the girl I was telling you about. The one with the flashy hair and eyes. She is very beautiful but her tits aren't the best. They're about on the small side of average, but she's got a nice ass..."

Who is he talking about? I couldn't be me could it? No, there's no way it's me. I walked in the room when almost all the hashira arrived. I saw that the hashira that Tengen was talking to was the mist hashira, Muichiro.

"Hey y/n!" Uzui said, "We were just talking about you!"

Oh great. They were talking about me that's really embarrassing. Just pretend like you don't know. Uzui hands me my sheathed sword. As I start to unsheath it, Uzui stops me.

"Slow down, you gotta tell us what color you want it to be first."

I sit there for a second, thinking.

"I mean, I don't care too much. I wouldn't mind it being amber like your sword, Master Uzui, or yellow, or blue, or indigo."

"Sounds flashy." Said Uzui.

I start to unsheath it slowly. The sword always starts out gray and then when you hold it and wait a couple seconds, it changes color. I hold the gray sword in my hand tight as I watch the color change from button to top. It was green. I could tell that Uzui was a little disappointed that our sword colors didn't match but he held it together anyway. I know he would whine about it if it wasn't a special event.

"Hey, it's green!" Uzui exclaimed, "just like yours Sanemi!"

Wait, I got the same color as Sanemi's sword? Him out of all people? You've gotta be kidding me.

Sanemi sat begrudgingly in the corner as everyone bothered him asking him questions about my sword. I want to get out of here so bad.

Later that day, I decided to introduce myself to the rest of the hashira.

I introduced myself to Mr. Rengoku, the flame hashira, because he is Uzui's best friend. He was a slightly above average height guy. He had long yellow and red hair that looked like fire. His eyes were bright red and wide and they were big and buggy. They really reminded me of an owl. We had a somewhat normal conversation. Mr. Rengoku is a really good guy. He is overflowing with talent but he did talk really loud. It kind of reminded me of my crow, Momo. We mostly had a normal conversation but there was one thing that he said that stood out to me. He said that Uzui talks about me a lot and that he could tell that I am one of the most precious things in the world to him. I knew he talked about me a lot but that much?

After I talked to Rengoku, I went on to go talk to Muichiro and let's just say, we didn't have a very productive conversation. He is a very short guy, which makes sense since he's surprisingly my age. I can't believe someone can be a hashira at my age! Muichiro, the mist hashira, has very long hair, like very very long hair. It almost reaches down to his ankles and it black with teal highlights. Mr. Tokito has a very bad memory, so he can't even remember what happened in the last hour or sometimes, even minutes. When I went up to him, he immediately didn't know who I was and then started asking me questions that didn't really lead anywhere so I left.

Momo, my crow, came flying down from the sky saying "Southwest! Southwest! Your 1st mission is southwest!" Uzui snuck up behind me and tapped me on the shoulder.

"Well you better get going then. This is the moment you've been waiting for!" He said. I could tell he was a little worried but it was very hard to tell.

"I'll show you that my training wasn't for nothing." I said back

I start to walk towards the entrance when I see Tomioka, the water hashira. Oh my god! I completely forgot to talk to him. I quickly ran up to him.

"Hey, Mr. Tomioka! I was wondering if I could tell you something before I leave for my first mission."

Tomioka was pretty tall, had dark spiky hair slicked back into a ponytail, and dark blue eyes. He is the quietest guy you will ever meet and is a lot of the time seen by himself and he never smiles.

"Sure I can talk for a second." He responded.

I began to tell him about the whole story that happened at the final selection and how I felt unworthy of being a demon slayer because of it and how I was told he could relate to it.

"I was 13 years old," Tomioka started, " during my final selection, my friend, Sabito ,was fighting by my side. We trained together so we were very close. He didn't deserve what he got. He defeated nearly every demon on the mountain. I ended up injuring myself on that mountain and trying to protect me, Sabito ended up getting himself killed. Sabito was the only kid that didn't survive that final selection, and it was because of my weakness. I've never felt like I was supposed to wind up a hashira after that. I was the one that was supposed to die that night."

I sat there in shock.

"I'm so sorry. I had no idea. but I don't think that you weren't supposed to be a hashira. Everything happens for a reason. You are a hashira for a reason."

I look back at Momo, squawking at me this whole time.

"I have to go now but I really enjoyed talking to you!"

"Stay safe y/n."
