"I'm sure it'll be fine, Y/N" Tanjiro said, walking up to me as he gently slips his hand in mine. Muichiro gently grabs the other one as he smiles reassuringly at me. I bit my lips as I take a deep breath, trying to calm my nerve. How would the others react, when they find out I have turned into a half-demon? What if they won't welcome me after seeing me like this?

-Will I Be Okay?-

Y/N P.O.V

I walk in between Tanjiro and Muichiro. My heart feels like it's bounding against my ribs. I don't know how the others would react when they found out I've turned into a half-demon.

We are now standing in front of the entrance of the Ubuyashiki mansion. I gulp nervously. I feel a light squeeze on my left hand and turn to look at Tanjiro.

"I'm sure it's going to be fine... Oyakata-Sama have accepted Nezuko and I here. I'm sure he's going to do the same for you too" he said. I just give him a weak smile. He leans down, placing a comforting kiss on my forehead. "I'll see you around, okay?" He said. I smile and nod my head. He turns around, slowly releasing my hand and walks away.

"Hey, Y/N..." Muichiro calls out. I turn my head to look at him. He smiles softly and gently squeeze my hand as he still held it in his. "Just like Tanjiro had said. It will be alright. I'm here with you. I won't let anyone hurt you" he said, comfortingly.

I just give him a weak smile and nod my head lightly. The two of us finally make a move to walk inside the headquarter. I feel my heart thumping violently against the ribs of my chest.

"Y/N-Chan!!" I hear someone yelled out my name. I lift my head to see Mitsuri-San. I smile softly at the sight of her. I lift my hand, covering my demon eye. I'm scared of what she would react when she finds out I've turned into a half-demon.

She rushes towards me, pulling me into a tight hug. I can practically feel the air being squeezed out of my lungs. I awkwardly pat her back, trying to let her know I can't breathe properly if she continues to squeeze me.

"Why are you covering your eye, Y/N-Chan? Is it hurting?" She asked, after she pulls away. She stares at me worriedly. I bit my lips as my human eye starts to tear up. "A-Are y-you okay?" She asked.

I turn my head to look over her shoulder to see the rest of the Hashira's. Muichiro moves to stand next to me. I feel his hand gently slipping in mine as an attempt to comfort me, silently letting me know that he's here for me.

"I... it's..." I stuttered out. I turn my head to look at Muichiro. He gives me a slow nod, as if telling me it's gonna be okay. "I don't know what happened to me, Mitsuri-San. I... something happened. I don't know why..." I said. She stares at me with a confused gaze. I slowly remove my hand from my eye.

Mitsuri-San backs away as she stares at me in shock

Mitsuri-San backs away as she stares at me in shock. "I'm not sure what happened. It's just... I've turned into a half-demon" I said. Tears starts to slip out of my human eye. I feel a comforting arm gently drape around me. I turn my head to see Muichiro.

"A half-demon... I can't believe it!" Shinazugawa said, as he stares at me. The look in his eyes changes. He shakes his head as he walks up to me. "Leave! You're no longer one of us! I refuse to acknowledge you as my comrade, you filthy monster!" He spat, hatefully. Before he could get any closer to me, Muichiro is quick to step up to stand in front of me.

"She's already confused enough as it is. Don't stress her even further, Shinazugawa-San" he said, while standing in front of me protectively. Shinazugawa-San clicks his tongue in annoyance. He turn to look at me over Muichiro's shoulder. He rolls his eyes and backs away.

Mitsuri-San walks up to me. She wraps her arms around me. My chin is resting on her shoulder. "I don't care if you have turned into a demon, Y/N-Chan. I'm sure it's not going to change who you are..." she said. I just wrap my arms around her, burying my face into her shoulder. She gently runs her hand through my h/c hair, trying to get me to calm down.

"Thank you, Mitsuri-San..." I said. I pull away from her and smiles softly. I turn my head to look at the others. Kocho-San is also staring at me with a small smile. It seems like these two didn't seem to mind about the fact that I had turned into a half-demon, along with Uzui-San and Rengoku-San. Iguro-San and Shinazugawa-San on the other hand... they look disgusted by me.

The sight of hatred reflecting in their eyes brought pain into my heart. It's not something I want to happen. Heck, I'm not sure why it happens in the first place. Why did I turn into a half-demon?

"Oyakata-Sama has arrived..." a voice said. We quickly rush to kneel down in front of him. The purple marks on his forehead has started to spread further. The curse is slowly eating his body. The sight of his condition makes my heart aches.

"I heard a little commotion going on before I arrive..." Oyakata-Sama said. I bit my lips nervously. I can already guess what he's talking about. I lower my head. "I heard that Y/N have somehow turned into a half-demon. Is that true?" He asked.

"It... it's true, Oyakata-Sama" I said, softly. I'm ashamed to admit that I had indeed turned into a half-demon. I bit my lips as I try to fight back the tears that start to gather in my eyes. "I've no idea how or why I turned into this. If I'm not welcomed in your headquarter anymore. I'll respectfully leave this place, Oyakata-Sama" I said.

"Why? There's no need for that, dear. The only thing you have done for us is being a reliable ally. You are welcome here, dear. You'll always be welcomed here..." he said. I lift my head to look at him. I feel relief spreads through my chest. I'm so glad that Oyakata-Sama still accepts me here. But will I be okay? Will I able to turn back into a human?
