(At this point, I think these chapters are going to be at least 2000 words.  And I'm probably going to be writing these super late at night-)

Kyō Huang

It had been 3 months. 3 months ever since Kyō had moved in with Taeko and the others. It definitely took a lot of effort, but everyone was able to settle in.

Kyō was one of the people who had moved in. It took a lot of convincing from Taeko, but she soon gave in. And since then, she had been living with other demon slayers. Besides herself and Kazuha, there were others as well. Akane had her own home to live in but visited from time to time.

Since then, the mansion had been rather lively, and mostly everyone was getting along well. Sometimes, there would be arguments, but they would get resolved as soon as possible.

That evening, Kyō was returning back from a mission that she had. It ended up with several cuts and bruises on her, but nothing that couldn't be healed. She took out a key that led to the house, and unlocked the front door, heading inside.

Once she had stepped in, she noticed that some of the others were downstairs. The others must've been upstairs.

"Hey Kyō. You're back."

Kyō had looked over to see who had said that. It was Kazuha, who was sitting at the table with Yuki, and Momo. Momo had waved at Kyō with a smile, and Yuki had stared at her blankly for a few moments before looking away. She seemed to be reading a book of some sort.

"Heh, the mission wasn't too bad. Was I late?" Kyō had asked, smiling slightly. "Nope. Hayami and Shinozuka are cooking dinner tonight and are in the process of doing so. Tsukimisa and Akane are coming for dinner soon." Momo had replied, with a soft smile.

"I see..." Kyō had begun, before looking around. It seemed like she came in at a good time. Sort of. She had gone over to one of the cupboards in the kitchen, trying to find the med kit for the whole mansion. In that specific cupboard, there were lots of medicines as well as a few large med kits. Kyō had a guess that the Butterfly Mansion had given the others those supplies.

She took one of the med kits and started to patch up the wounds she had. It didn't take very long, and she had a feeling that the injuries would probably be healed in a few days or so. She had decided to sit back down at the table where Momo and Yuki were sitting at. And eventually, dinner was ready for everyone to eat.

And soon, Tsukimisa and Akane came by for dinner, and sat down with everyone else. Kyō could hear the chatter amongst everyone, but she didn't really speak much nor join in the conversation. She was a bit shy.

However, she was also a bit worried. Taeko had told her what had happened with Tsukimisa and Shinozuka a few months ago. Despite that being months ago, Kyō could always notice that Taeko kept extreme watch on everyone in the mansion, even if it was subtle.

Since then, there hadn't been any incidents nearby the mansion.

"Hey... Shinozuka? Tsukimisa? Are you... both alright? You know, after what had happened?" Kyō had suddenly spoken up. She wanted to check on those two to see if they were okay.

Shinozuka and Tsukimisa were sitting a little far from each other but gave each other a look at first. However, they simply both nodded in reply.

"Yeah, we're alright. Don't worry about it." Shinozuka had replied, a small smile on his face. "Hey, we're tougher than we look. We're fine." Tsukimisa had replied with a bit of a scowl, crossing her arms a bit, looking away for a second.
