A few days passed after I apologized to Shinobu, I felt…..relieved that I finally could explain…but my job isn’t done yet…I need to get the trust of a few hashiras as well.

i got back to training even after getting scolded by every member of the butterfly mansion ... ..even kanao surprisingly….
Today was the day I decided to go past the wisteria…just so I could train without anyone bothering me or trying to protect me ... .i don’t need protection… “you do tho…” out of nowhere, i saw fujinoki right behind me, i fell to the ground “GOD DAMN IT FUJINOKI!!!!” i screamed at her, she just chuckled “you are either too stupid or too cocky….you are in no condition to fight…also, you do need help….” I could feel her pity “don’t pity me fujinoki! all the things i did caused more harm than good!! i am a disgrace and the only reason why i am alive, is because that fucker of kibutsuji needs me!! I have been nothing but a burden to all the ones I care about!!” i started to tear up "hmn….listen..i once felt like that….when my husband and i had a terrible fight….just like i showed you….during those years…i did my best to move on and raise my children…i never asked for help of my parents or anyone…..i only realized the mistake i did…when i was falling off a cliff with a hole on my chest…”

i was wide eyes….even if she has already shown me her memory…i never understood what she was feeling at that moment.

“we aren’t as different ... .you are my decedent..and all i want is the best for you…i want you..to act your age..i know how difficult it is to have to grown up faster than anyone else…our family had that problem for centuries……but you can change that….make this war end by working together with your friends..your comrades… your family….this isn’t your fight…it’s everyone's..” fujinoki said softly. Before I could respond, I felt a powerful aura coming my way. i took my sword and got ready for a fight……

“tch…there you are…..” sanemi said, i sigh “what do you want sanemi...i am busy…” i felt annoyed because now i have to deal with his bastard “it’s shinazugawa to you….harlot…” he irks, i frown “the fuck is your problem!?! I had it up to here with your damn insults and rumors you created about me!! i know you cared for kanae as much as shinobu…but she now accepted that it wasn’t my fault!! why couldn’t you!?” i screamed at him, i didn’t mean to…but i was exhausted “HA! ACCEPT IT!? DO YOU REALLY THINK I WILL JUST MOVE ON!? YOU ARE A HEARTLESS MORON!!” he glares deeply at me.

“did you really come here to just insult me and scream at me…?” i asked frustrated “heh…nah i heard you were training…i wanted to test out how strong do you really think you are…” he smirks wickedly, i was confused until he came charging at me, i managed to block the attack with my katana “H-HEY!! WHAT’S YOUR PROBLEM?” i screamed at him, he laughed and kept attacking “no matter how much you train, you will never be strong enough!! YOU DON’T DESERVE TO BE A HASHIRA!!” he yelled at me.

he was right….and i knew it… but i wasn’t gonna let this fucker toss me around and call me shitty names “I KNOW I AM WEAK!! BUT I AT LEAST ACCEPT IT!! I TRY TO WORK HARDER THAN ANYONE ELSE JUST BECAUSE EVERYONE EXPECTS ME TO BE THE EXAMPLE!!!” i was tearing up “ DO YOU THINK I WANTED KANAE TO DIE?! TO RENGOKU OR TO TENGEN TO RETIRE?! OR TO BE FUCKING KIDNAPPED AND TORTURED FOR WHO KNOWS HOW LONG!!” i dropped my katana and punched him across the face “but despite all that… I AM STILL STANDING YOU FUCKER!! YOU SAY YOU WANT TO TEST HOW STRONG I AM!? THEN COME AT ME WITH ALL YOU GOT!! I AM READY!!!” i felt stronger than ever before…like my injuries healed completely, i picked up my katana and got ready.

he was irking madly but his eyes went wide “the hell is that on your face!?” he asked, i was confused “Huh?” i said “your demon slayer mark…just like yoriichi’s and tanjiro’s” fujinoki explained, i smirk “why don’t you come here and figure it out on your own?!” i teased, he growls and charged at me “wind breathing, second form: claws-purifying wind!!!” he slashed at me, so i decided to attack as well “moon breathing….first form: dark moon-evening palace…” I chanted, he had wide eyes and dodged my attack, stopping his “moon breathing!? the fuck you playing!!” he glares “you wanted me to show how much i have improved…there you have it…i am far stronger than you think…” i said proudly, he growls “you fucking-!!” he was cutted off as i hitted him on the face, knocking him out.

I panted as i dropped to my knees “a-amaya-sama!? you okay??? we heard fighting!!” a kakushis asked “it’s alright…me and sanemi had a ... .discussion…just take him to his estate…” I ordered, they nodded and picked him up, I followed right behind them…
