But what was that? That strange aura around her body when she let herself relaxes. Her speed and strength visibly increases. It's like she's a whole different person. I've never seen anything like that before. Something is different about this girl. What is she?

-Special Training-

Y/N P.O.V

I slowly open my eyes to see a ceiling. I turn my head to the side to see Tanjiro leaning against the wall. I hear a soft snore and turn my head to see Nezuko, she's still asleep. She's been asleep since the day we got here.

"You're awake, Y/N..." Tanjiro said. I turn my head to look at him. He moves himself from the wall and scoots closer to me. "How are you feeling? Was the training he gave you harsh?" He asked.

"No... he was only asking me to try and knock him off his feet. I just got tired..." I said, smiling softly at him. He hums softly at what I said. He turns his head to the side to look at Nezuko. I notice the look of worry in his eyes. "I'm sure she's going to be fine" I said. He turns to look at me and smiles softly.

I slowly move to sit up, making Tanjiro panic. "Lay back down! You're still sick!" He said. I shake my head, as I assure him that I'm okay. He gently place a hand on my forehead. "Ah... you're right. The fever is gone. You body temperature was really high a couple of minutes ago. But now it's not. Like you were never sick in the first place" he said. I blink my eyes at what he said.

"Oh yeah? I didn't even realize that I had a fever. My head isn't hurting at all" I said, lifting my head to place a hand on my head. He just stares at me in surprise. He still looks worried. I just give him a small smile. "I'm fine, Tanjiro" I said.

I hear a light knock on the door. Tanjiro stands up and walks up to it. He slides the door open, revealing our trainer. Urokodaki-San walks inside the room as he kneels down in front of me.

"It has become clear to me that I'm not the suitable man to be your trainer, Y/N. With that being said, you're to be sent off to another place where you can get proper training for your level" he said. My eyes widen at what he said. I turn my head to look at Tanjiro, who looks a little troubled at the thought of us being separated. "You have reached a certain level of speed and strength, Y/N. I'm only teaching people who haven't been receiving any training" he said.

"But, I haven't been training like... at all. I'm just as clueless as Tanjiro. I don't know how I'm able to do all those stuff I've been able to do" I said. He nods his head at what I said. He places a hand on my shoulder.

"That's why you're a special case. You need special kind of training, and I'm not able to give that to you" he said. I lower my gaze at what he said. He hands me a small note. "This is a map that would lead you to your next destination" he said. I gently take it from him. I stare at it for a few seconds and turn to look at him.

"Do I really have to go?" I said, with a sad gaze. I turn my head to look at Tanjiro. "I don't feel right to leave Tanjiro and Nezuko behind..." I said. Tanjiro gives me a sad smile and places a hand on my shoulder.

"It's okay, Y/N. You need to learn how to control your abilities. We have to be stronger if we want to find a way to turn Nezuko back into a human" he said. I stare at him with troubled gaze. He gently pulls me into a hug. "We're going to be fine. Don't worry, Y/N" he said. I let out a sigh as I hug him back.

"We'll meet again one day. Promise me you're going to make it" I said. I feel Tanjiro nodding his head. I tighten my arms around him, burying my face into the crook of his neck.

A While Later

We're all standing by the hut's door. Urokodaki-San lift his hand to reveal his sword. "Here, take this. So you'll be able to defend yourself on your journey" he said. I just stare at the sword for a few seconds and turn to look at him.

"I don't need it, Urokodaki-San..." I said. He just stays silent, probably confused with what I had claimed. I lift my hand and the snowflake mark on my arm glows a soft f/c. I visualize a sword and it appears.

I hear a gasp coming from Urokodaki-San

I hear a gasp coming from Urokodaki-San. I release the control I have on the sword and it melts into water. "I'm sorry I haven't showed it to you. I was afraid you'd tell me that you won't be able to train me. But it happened either way" I said. I smile softly at him and holds my fist in front of my chest. I bow my head respectfully at him.

"Thank you for letting me stay for a while, and even tried to train me, Urokodaki-San. I'll leave Tanjiro and Nezuko to you. Please take care of them for me. They're the last family I have" I said. I feel a hand on my head. I lift my head to look at him.

"You can leave them to me" he said. I just smile at what he said. I turn my head to look at Tanjiro. He smiles at me. I can see the sadness reflecting in his eyes. I walk up to him, placing my hands on his shoulders.

"It's going to be okay. I'm going to be fine. It's just like you said... we'll meet again after we completed our training. Take care, Tanjiro... and take care of Nezuko, okay?" I said. He wraps his arms around me, pulling me closer.

"Take care, Y/N... and of course I'll look after Nezuko" he whispered softly. I gently pat his back. He slowly pull away from me. We smile sadly at each other. I give his shoulders a gentle pat. I place a quick kiss on his cheek before pulling away completely. He steps closer to place a soft kiss on my forehead. I close my eyes as he let his lips linger for a few seconds.

"Bye..." I said, after he pulls away. He nods his head. I walk up the hill until I reach the top. I stop and turn to look at him. "See you around, Tanjiro" I said, as I slowly lift my hand, sending him a light wave.

"See you around, Y/N. Take care of yourself. The next time we meet... we'll be a strong Demon Slayer" he said. he saidc as he returns my gesture. I nod my head lightly in agreement. I lower my hand and send him one final smile.

After a while, I finally turn around and walks out of their sights, heading towards my next destination. Anticipation grows within me. My heart is filled with nervousness, wondering what will happen in my next journey.
