Chapter 18

"So what if they commit ritual suicide? If you want to die, then rot for all I care! It's no guarantee! Not by a long shot!" Shinazugawa said, glaring at me. I frown at him as I look away. Of course, despite what I said... there would still be someone who's doubtful about this situation. But I can't blame them. After all, for all they know, demons are dangerous creatures.

-Decision Is Made-

Y/N P.O.V

Rengoku-San, Himejima-San and Iguro-San starts to express their disagreement about the matter. "Please, stop doing this..." I said. They turn their heads to look at me. I let out a sigh as I turn to look at them. "Look, I get that you're unhappy with me, Iguro-San... Shinazugawa-San. But no matter what, you can't change the fact that there are demons out there who are different than most! There demons who refused to hurt humans. Demons like me... Nezuko too!" I said.

"Of course you'd stand up for that demon. Since you're one of them... but I still refuse to believe any of it" Iguro-San said. I frown at what he said. He turn his head to look at Shinazugawa-San who nods his head in agreement.

He stands up and turn to look at the box. He lift his hand and pierce his Nichirin blade into the box. I look away while shutting my eyes from the sound of pain she's letting out.

"Hey, stop that! Leave her alone!" I exclaimed, trying to stand up for Nezuko. I feel a hand on my shoulder. I turn my head to see Giyuu-San. He shakes his head as the older Kamado tries to run towards him, only for Iguro-San to pin him down with his elbow. He gasped for air as his lungs got squeezed. "You're going to kill him, Iguro-San!" I said.

"I'm only pining him down because he's trying to move. Shut up" he said. I frown at his response. I want to help the older Kamado. But what can I do at this point. I don't want to cause trouble either. Father lift his finger to his lips causing everyone to quieted down.

"Also, there's something I'd like to relay to you, my children. Tanjiro here has met Kibutsuji" he said. I look down at my knee at the mention of that name. Why does it sound familiar? I wince in pain as my head starts to ache. I fall to my side as I clutch my head in hope to ease the pain but it only gets worse.

Giyuu P.O.V

I hear a thud next to me to see Y/N on the ground as she clutches her head. Her face showing signs of obvious pain. "Y/N... hey, are you okay?" I said, rushing over to scoop her up in my arms. She open her mouth to answer but only pained cry escapes her lips.

"What's going on?" Oyakata-Sama said. His voice is laced with worry. "Did something happen to Y/N?" He asked. I turn my head to look at him.

"She seem to be in pain, Oyakata-Sama. She's holding onto her head" I said. He frowns at what I said. I turn my head to look at the Kakushi. "Please take her to her room so she can get some rest" I said.

"No, Tomioka-San. Just take her to the Butterfly Estate so she can get some treatment" Kocho-San. I turn my head to look at her in surprise. She makes it clear that she still didn't trust Y/N. But she seem worried about her now. I just nod my head and gestures the Kakushi to do as she said. They rush over to me and picks Y/N up. I watch as they carry her away. I hope she will be okay.

Y/N P.O.V

I slowly open my eyes and looks up at the ceiling. I didn't take long for me to realize that this is the hospital ward of the Butterfly Estate. I turn my head to the side and notice there are three people. One of them if Kamado Tanjiro. I don't know the other two.

"Are you okay, Y/N-San?" Kamado asked, realizing that I'm awake. I slowly move to sit up, wincing a little when my head aches. I gently massage my head, trying to ease the ache.

"Yeah... I'm fine" I said, while I lean my back against the headboard still closing my eyes. "So, how's the trial?" I asked, opening my eyes to look at him. He explains what happen in the trial.

Seems like his sister have proven herself that she's not going to harm anyone. Thanks to that, Shinazugawa-San and Iguro-San both have no other choice but to accept her. A soft smile starts to form on my lips.

"Y/N-San?" Kamado said. I turn my head to look at him. He stares at me for a few seconds before smiling softly at me. "Thank you... you placed yourself as collateral for me and my sister" he said.

"I'm not going to risk your sister's life. After all, there's a chance that she could be like me" I said. I feel two pairs of eyes staring at me. I turn my head to see it's the other two boys.

"Oh, they're Agatsuma Zenitsu and Hashibira Inosuke. I met them during our mission on an abandoned house" he said. I hum softly and nod my head. I turn my head to the boy by the name Hashibira Inosuke. He's in a pretty bad shape.

"Um... Y/N-San?" Agatsuma called out. I turn my head to look at him. "When you said 'she could be like me.' What do you mean?" He asked. I blink my eyes at what he asked before smiling softly.

"She could be like me... as in she could be a demon who refuses to hurt humans" I said. He stares at me with a look of confusion. I let out a laugh and shakes my head. "Did you not notice? I'm a demon..." I said. His eyes widen at what I said. 

"D-D-D-Demon?!!!" He yelled out, sprinting up to his feet as he stares at me wide-eyed and a hint of fear in his eyes. I raise an eyebrow as he starts panicking. "Ah!! P-Please protect me, Tanjiro!! How did a demon get in here?!! And in broad daylight too!!! I'm scared! I'm scared! I'm scared!!" He wailed loudly, as he clings onto the said boy. Kamado looks so done with his reaction, while I just close my eyes as I sigh softly.

"Zenitsu! Calm down! Y/N-San is a friendly demon" Kamado said. I let out a soft sigh as the yellow head keeps clinging onto him while crying out desperately. I roll my eyes and grab my flute from the bedside table. I place it on my lips and starts to play a soft melody.

The wailing stops as he just stares at me in awe. He move to sit on his bed as he listens to me playing my flute.

"Have you calmed down, yet?" I asked, smiling softly at him. He just nods his head. His cheeks turning slightly pink as he just stares at me. "I'm not going to hurt you... or anyone. So you don't have to be afraid of me, alright?" I said, giving him a close eyes smile.

"Wahhh!!" He yelled out, making my eyes snap open as I stare at him in shock. He stands up and runs towards. He drops on his knees besides my bed. He grabs my hands in his as he stares at me with heart eyes. "Y/N-San!!! Please please please! Marry me!!" He yelled out. I blink my eyes as I stare at him, not knowing what to say or how to react. I feel a drop of sweat running down the side of my head as I turn to look at Kamado.

He gently hit his forehead and walks over to me. He grab the back collar of Agatsuma's hospital shirt, and pulls him off of me. "That's enough, Zenitsu!! You have to respect Y/N-San. She's the adoptive daughter of the leader of the Demon Slayer!" He said.

"EHHHHHH!!!!" Agatsuma yelled out. I just send him a sheepish smile. He turn to look at me and start to bow repeatedly. "Forgive me! Forgive me! Forgive me!! P-Please d-don't tell your f-father! He'd fire me! I need this job!!" He pleaded. I blink my eyes as I stare at him. I let out a sigh and place my hand on his head, making him flinch.

"C-Calm down, Agatsuma-Kun... I'm not going to say a thing. You can relax" I said. He quickly relaxes and rush off to his bed. I just shake my head, while letting out a soft giggle. What an interesting trio they are. I'm not going to be surprise if these three ended up being the best of friends. Best friend, huh?

My mind went back to the memory that I've regained a while back. The memory about the boy I called my best friend. His face is blurry so I can't make out what he looks like. Who is he?
