Chapter 12

   

         The butterfly mansion    As we were making it to lady kocho's place the kakushi were trying to call out for anyone that's when we walked close to the back. We saw a girl. She had a ponytail on the side and looked like she had a butterfly pin in her hair.  I heard Tanjiro asked if that was the girl from the final selection but it seems like he's met her before. That was before the kakushi said that girl was lady kocho's tsuguko, her successor. Then all of a sudden a girl who has blue eyes and two ponytails also with two butterfly clips on them. 'She's that girl from the final selection!' I knew I recognized her. She kind of yelled asking why we were here, the kakushi then went to explain how lady kocho sent us here. Well she was a bit spectacle. She let us in by introducing herself before walking us to a room. Right then I heard a yell. That yell was zenitsu i knew that scream. "He's been like this all morning." The girl told us. I think her name was aoi. Tanjiro was on one of the kakushis' backs so when he saw zenitsu he kind of yelled out to him. Zenitsu was crying due to not wanting to take medicine just because ms.aoi told him he should. I smiled but that quickly went away when zenitsu looked at me. "Haruuuuuu!!!" zenitsu has whined out as he saw me standing next to the kakushi. 'Gosh I forgot he was here.' I thought. "Hi zenitsu." I waved, not really showing any emotions. Tanjiro asked what happened. He went to explain that some spider demon bit him and he almost lost his legs and arms and was almost turned into a creepy looking spider baby. At least he's alive now. I really thought he had died. "Yeah but the problem is he wont drink his medicine. Everytime we tell him he won't do it." ms. aoi had said. "It's not my fault the thing is gross!!" zenitsu had whined out, still crying. "Where's insouke?!" Tanjiro immediately remembered. Zenitsu then pointed behind him to the bed and it turns out he was right there. He talked in such a raspy voice. Turns out that one demon we thought was a twelve kizuki was the demon who hurt him enough to ruin his vocal cords also due to the fact he had also strained it when he yelled at one point.
   A bit of time went by and we got a bit better. I know for a fact I had injured my back for a while after one point of me falling and running to help nezuko escape that backfired quite a lot. After a bit of recovery, me and zenitsu were left after Tanjiro and inosuke left to train with the girls.
It was ms. aoi and four other girls. First girl who caught our eye was the girl Tanjiro recognized. Her name was Kanao. The others were Kiyo, naho, and Sumi. They were pretty young but they took good care of us. Then i had recovered a bit faster than zenitsu so i went to train with the others. I would say it was hell but I'm flexible enough that when the girls were helping me stretch it felt sort of painful but good. Then there was a cup game and another where you have to catch the other person. We had to go against ms. aoi and Kanao. I was able to beat ms.aoi at times. Well tag was the easiest part i was able to get her pretty fast. The only person I wasn't able to beat at any time was Kanao.  After a bit of zenitsu being able to recover enough to work his limbs he came training with us. He was scared at first but then ended up yelling at us due to the fact we were supposedly living a good life being able to be near girls. I wouldn't say it was heaven, I am very nervous around them. Zenitsu yelled at us just for it, which was annoying. I got to speak with Ms. Aoi at times alone. I wanted to help her which she somehow allowed me to. We talked about the final selection. I told her that I saw her there. She just looked at me as I told her why she didn't actually become a demon slayer. She has told me she survived purely out of luck. She wasn't good enough to become a demon slayer so she just took this role to help others. She has a pure soul and also a bit of an envy aura but it was a nice soul now. I learned about her and the others. They all got their family killed by demons that is when they were brought in and cared for. I can't believe they are so young and that happened. It happened to me also but.. Anyways we just talked.
  A couple days went by and we had to train more. Kanao was the one person we could never beat in the games. Tanjiro was very determined to beat her at these games. We also found out about this breathing type. Total concentration breathing constant. I already knew how to do it a bit but keeping it consistent all day and night got tiring but tanjiro and i had to continue to do it. After a while, Zenitsu and inosuke had stopped showing up just because. Well not my problem.
  More time had gone by and we continued to try and figure the breathing out. I got it after a while. It was painful but I could do it. Zenitsu and inosuke came back to train with us, which we were delighted by. We started trying to use total concentration breathing constant. Which we were able to. Something I didn't mention was the fact we had to break a gourd by blowing it up enough. And if we did, we were ready for the next trip.
  I was sort of just wandering around to the other hashiras, maybe trying to make small talk. I was quite nervous due to the fact they were hashiras. I got to meet up with the mist hashira. I tried making small talk but he was fully out of it. He kept spacing out and asking who I was.
"Who are you again?" Tokito-kun had asked me which I kind of thought he might have remembered me. Well it was a couple years ago.. "I am Haru Fuyuki. You might not remember me but you saved me during final selection and I wanted to say thank you. So thank you.." I tried smiling at him but a smile didn't appear on my face. Well a small one did but it wasn't much. ¨no. I don't remember. Hm¨ Tokito-kun had just looked at me. I really wanted to train with him. I'm not going to lie. I told him. He asked what breathing style I use which he then said it was cool but he's busy. Well at least I tried. I gave him an onirgi i had stored as a thank you. He took it and he said thank you. He's nice. But cold, I couldn't really do anything about it but I blushed. He's nice and cool.
