Fate [Demon Slayer]

Chapter 6

I never actually expected to get this far lol 😂. I mean if you're still reading this then umm there will be much angst in this chapter and stuff so... ya! Enjoy!

Mitsuri's pov:
After the dizziness subsides I look around. OH! I know where we are! This is a cafe that the hashira used to go to all the time! Maybe I'll be in this memory! That would be cool.
We see the hashira walk into the cafe. We go to our table and start talking. I am talking to Obanai! It's so wierd to watch past me!

Tanjiro's pov:
Kanroji looks quite excited that she's in this memory. Maybe it will finally be a wholesome, happy memory! I shouldn't jinx it though.
It seems to be a normal meet up. They are all just talking and they go to get drinks and snacks in smaller groups.
Kanroji and Iguro go to get some things. We watch them go up to the counter.
"I'll have... OOO 5 cheesecakes and 1 cup of tea." Kanroji says. "What do you want Obanai?" She asks.
"I don't need anything." He replies. Kanroji frowns. She looks disappointed but also like this isn't the first time that's happened.
"You sure?" She asks. He nods in reply. Kanroji sighs and they wait together for Kanroji's tea to be ready.

Mitsuri's pov:
Wait a minute! I think I know why... did he never eat in front of us because... but why? Maybe he'll loosen up now that I've seen his scar already.
I try to think of which time this was. It can't have been that long ago. We go there pretty often though.
I see past us chatting at the table. It was only now that I noticed. He looks uncomfortable. DAMN IT IS THIS GONNA BE ANOTHER SAD MEMORY!? Show us something good for once! I'm so done with this.
I remember this. Not to spoil you people reading but he ended up having a bad panic attack which surprised some of us but others like Kyojiro who knew him when he was a kid were less surprised.
At least for now it's calm. We are talking about our monthly arm wrestling contest and at whose estate it would be held at.
Gyomei always won the contests but I'm positive that one day I'll beat him. Wait a minute. We have another arm wrestling competition soon. Maybe I can win!
Of course, someone had to bring it up. "Hey Obanai, how come you never get anything here?" Sanemi asks.
"Yeah, is it because you don't want to take off your mask?" Tengen pushes. Obanai went slightly pale. Kyojiro shot Tengen and Sanemi a glare I didn't even know he could muster.
"Best buddy, Shinazugawa, maybe we should talk about something else." Kyojiro states. (I swear he probably calls Tengen buddy)
"Ehhhhh?" Sanemi answers angrily.
"Do you know why he always wears that mask?" Tengen asks. "It's not very flashy." He adds to try to make him take it off.
Obanai just sits there ignoring them all. You could tell that he was panicking a little bit. Kyojiro looks at Tengen.
"I may know something or I may not." He states. "However, it's none of your business." He adds.
"Ara ara." Shinobu sighs. "Hey, Tomioka! How's that rash that I gave you cream for?" She asked to change the subject and... lighten the mood.
"Huh." Giyuu looks at Shinobu. I can tell he's a little angry. Everyone immediately looks at Giyuu funny. Even Muichiro who was spacing out a moment ago.
Tengen and some of the others start laughing. Of course I WASNT LAUGHING... ok I was. It was funny though.
Everything went a little bit smoother until most people were done and left but me. Obanai stayed with me and Tengen and Sanemi were also staying to converse.
"So." Tengen starts. "Show us." He looks at Obanai.
"No." Obanai simply states. Sanemi got angry. (He should go to therapy for those anger issues) (like my dad) Sanemi goes up to Obanai and grabs his wrist which I now realize must've hurt more than I thought back then.
"Hey!" I yell at him. "Stop it! If he doesn't want you to know then don't pry!" I stand up.
Obanai starts breathing faster. He's trembling a bit. Tengen is behind Sanemi now and they are both prying at Obanai to take it off.
I grab Sanemi's arm to make him let go and Obanai covers his ears as we all fight.
"Wimp" Sanemi comments, seeing how much Obanai panicked over this. I shove him away and they reluctantly walk out of the cafe.
"Obanai! Are you ok?" I ask him. The cafe was quite empty so the only person who was watching us was the employee at the front counter who would much rather watch us then work.
I wrapped my arms around Obanai, pulling him into a hug. He flinched at first which made me feel kind of bad but he melted into the hug.

Tanjiro's pov:
That was intense. I didn't know that the hashiras fought like that. I thought that they only fought with Tomioka. No one seems to really like him much.
It settled down a bit as Kanroji keeps hugging Obanai and calming him down. Kaburamaru is on the table eating all of the leftovers.
I wonder when this is going to be over. It feels like we've been watching these memories for a few hours but I don't know if I can trust how time works in here. I don't know how long it's been in the real world. I hope Nezuko is ok.
I feel things start to spin again. I sigh and grace myself for more sad things.

Inosuke's pov:
Why isn't Gonpachiro waking up? It's been... 2 weeks? I think that's what blue girl said. He should wake up already so we can train together. I've had to train with Monitsu and he's not very fun to train with.
"We've made no progress since they got here." Blue girl says walking in, unaware of me on the ceiling. She's talking to purple girl.
"Ara ara." Purple girl says. What does that mean? Is it some kind of code? She always says it. "All we can do at this point is monitor them and hope that they wake up soon." She adds.
"JUST WAKE HIM UP!" I yell from the ceiling. Blue girl jumps in surprise but purple girl seems to have known I was there the whole time.
"It seems we can't do that." Purple girl calmly tells me.
"When did you get on the roof!?!?" Blue girl yells. "I told you to stop doing that!! Get down!!!!"
Come on Monjiro. Wake up already...

Wow! Look at me getting a chapter out at a normal time. And it's a little longer than usual. Good job me. Anyways have a wonderful day/night and incase I don't update tomorrow, Merry Christmas!
