I stand up a little. I stare at her face for a few seconds. I lean down and gently place a soft kiss on her forehead. I close my eyes as I let my lips linger against her skin.

Please wake up soon...

-Please Wake Up-

Giyuu P.O.V

I make my way inside Y/N's room after returning from a mission. She still hasn't woken up. I make my way to her side. I take a seat on the chair near her bed. I stare at her for a few seconds. I let out a sigh. I look down at my lap. I feel tears starts to gather in my eyes.

"How long are you going to sleep, Y/N? I miss hearing your voice" I said. I turn to look at her, my tears starts to stream down my cheeks. I hold her hand, placing my cheek on the back of her hand. "Please wake up, Y/N. I feel so lost without you..." I pleaded. I tighten my grip around her hand. I turn my head and stare at her hand, hoping she'd give me any sort of respond. But her hand remains unmoving.

The door to the hospital room opens. I turn my head to see Kocho. "I need to clean her up, Tomioka-San. Do you mind leaving the room for a bit?" She said. I just nod my head. I stand up and make my way outside the room. I let out a sigh as I lean my back against the wall. I lean my head against the wall, as I stare at the ceiling. I heave out a sigh as I close my eyes.

"Tomioka-San..." a voice said. I turn my head to see Kanroji and the others, including Tanjiro and his friends. She walks over to me. "How is she, Tomioka-San? Any progress?" She asked. Everyone seems worried about Y/N. Even Iguro, surprisingly. But among all the Hashira's, Kanroji's the closest to Y/N. When she found out about Y/N's condition, she broke down into tears in an instant.

"Still the same... she still hasn't woken up" I said, with a weak voice. She looks down in sadness. I run my hand through my raven hair. "I can only pray that she'd wake up soon. I miss seeing her smile... hearing her laugh. I miss her e/c eyes that are full of kindness and sincerity. I just miss everything about her" I said.

She places her hand on my shoulder. "I'm sure she will wake up soon, Tomioka-San. Y/N-Chan is a strong girl" she said, giving me a reassuring smile. I just give her a small smile.

"Yeah... that's what I hope too" I said. The door opens and Kocho walks out. "All done? Can I get inside?" I asked. She smiles and nod her head. I walk passed her and make my way inside the room. Kanroji following behind me along with Tanjiro and his friends.

Kanroji takes a seat on the edge of the bed, staring at Y/N with a gentle gaze. "Y/N-Chan... please wake up soon, okay? When you wake up, I'll introduce you to a lot of delicious food! I'm sure you'd enjoy them!" She said. A small smile starts to form on my face. She smiled sadly when Y/N shows no respond. I feel a gentle pat on my shoulder. I turn my head to see Rengoku.

"I hope she will be okay, Tomioka. I will pray fervently for her well-being. It's the least I can do. After all, she saved my life during the battle with the Upper Moon 3" he said. I stay silent as I turn to look at Y/N. Her chest is covered in bandages that have splotches of blood.

Yeah, that's right... Y/N did the same for him as she did me. She jumped in front of Rengoku to take a hit of that bastard's punch, earning a large gaping hole on her chest much as this one. She survived that time, so she will survive this time as well. I'm sure she will.

The others have left after a while because they're given a mission. The door opens to reveal Yumi and Oyakata-Sama, along with two of his twins children. I quickly move down from the seat to bow at him to show my respect. Yumi rushes passed me as she climbs onto the bed to hug Y/N.

"How is Y/N, Giyuu?" Oyakata-Sama asked. I lift my head to look at him. Even though his eyes are both milky white due to his blindness. I still see the worry reflecting in them. Of course he would be worried. Even though they're not blood related, Y/N's still his daughter.

"She's stable, Oyakata-Sama. But she still shows no sign of waking up" I said. I try my best to keep my voice steady as I speak. But I can't control the crack in my tone as I told Oyakata-Sama about Y/N's condition.

Oyakata-Sama ask one of his twin to guide him close to Y/N. He places his hand on Y/N's head. He caresses her head gently. I just watch as his face reflects the worry he feels for Y/N.

"Everyone is worried about you, my dear Y/N... I hope you'd wake up" he said. Y/N's only stays silent as her chest continues to rise and fall at a steady pace. He turn his head slightly. "Giyuu..." he said. I respond quietly but loud enough for him to hear me. He turn his body around to face me. "Take care of Y/N, okay? Never leave her side" he said.

"Of course, Oyakata-Sama" I said, bowing my head. He places a hand on my head. I feel his hand ruffles my hair softly. He turn his head slightly and calls out for Yumi. Yumi told him that she wants to stay here with Y/N. "I'll take care of Yumi too, Oyakata-Sama" I said.

He nods his head. He turns around and walks away with his twins guiding him. I turn my head to look at Yumi who keeps cuddling near Y/N. I let out a sigh and take a seat on the chair again.

"You shouldn't have let her turn back into a human..." a voice said. I turn my head to look at Yumi, who's sitting up as she stares at Y/N. "Now her life is going to be in danger" she said, still not looking at me.

"What do you mean?" I asked, feeling confused why she said that out of nowhere. Why did she suddenly talks like that. "What are you taking about?" I said. She just stares at Y/N, without looking or saying anything.

She finally turn her head to look at me. Her eyes widens a little as her irises turns color.

My eyes widen as I stare at her in shock, realizing she's a demon

My eyes widen as I stare at her in shock, realizing she's a demon. But how is she a demon?! The day I first met Y/N and her, I could've sworn that Yumi is a human. So how can it be possible??
