Tanjiro leaded you to an inn and rented two rooms. Since you were guarding the bunker for two days straight you thought you could easily fall asleep but you were wrong.

You turned your body around again but no matter how hard you tried you couldn't fall asleep. And you ended up tossing your blanket around out of frustration so you sat up.
You heard something behind you so you turned around, 'Did I leave the window open?' you thought and you got up closing the window.

As you wanted to get back in your bed again a figure startled you, "Woah!" you held your chest to calm your heart down after realising it was Nezuko, "How did you- nevermind, please stop appearing out of nowhere." you patted your heart.
"Btw, what are you doing here? Does your brother know?"

She shook her head in response and stepped closer to you. You grew nervous since you had no idea what she was planning so you took some steps back.
"How come you always visit me?" you asked another question but she ignored it. You felt the wall against your back and she kept coming closer. She looked into your e/c eyes for a while then she rested her head on your shoulder. You froze as your face turned red like a tomato and you didn't know what to do so you just let her be. Your heart was beating fast and Nezuko could hear it.
"Uh..." you began, "I don't think Tanjiro would like it after knowing our 'night meetings'."

At this, Nezuko chuckled which sounded beautiful, you were kind of disappointed when it ended. She removed her head from your shoulder and put her index finger on the bamboo muzzle.
"I don't plan to tell him either." you said honestly because you knew he'll get very very mad.

"You like visiting me huh?" a smile formed in your face, "I appreciate it, is it because I'm awake at night?"

She shook her head with a worried look.

"Just kidding, I'm just messing with you." this time it was your turn to chuckle, "I know you don't mean it."

She walked towards your bed and gestured you to lie down. You did as told and somehow your eyelids grew heavy until sleep consumed you.

The noise from outside woke you up. You laid there for a second and thought how she was able to make you sleep before sitting up. Her presence just calmed you down somehow, and you feel warm around her.
The noise grew louder outside which pulled you back from your thoughts and you opened the window to check what was happening.

As expected, the villagers insulted the three criminals who were still tied up and they even threw food leftovers at them. Some parents started to punch them until they collapsed on the ground crying for their child disappearance.
Right, not all children could be saved in time...
You closed the window and started to prepare yourself for the day.

"Caw!" Kuro flew above you, "Y/n, head east!"

"Another mission for me." you mumbled, "guess we're parting here."

"Be careful, y/n, and make sure to stay healthy!" Tanjiro said sadly.

"You too, I'll see you soon."

You and Tanjiro heard some scratching noise from the box. "I'll see you soon too, Nezuko." you said before leaving for your next mission.

-long timeskip-

"Kuro, next mission!" you declared as you cleaned the blood away from your sword and your crow stared at you in disbelief.

"It's already your..." Kuro lost track on counting your completed mission that you took after another, "let's go back to the butterfly estate and rest!"
