Miyuki's POV

The next day, I woke up and sat up blankly, my body feeling as if it had been hammered all day long. 

I looked around and saw that I was in a room, holding my head. Suddenly, the door slammed open, and over a dozen people came in.

"Damn, she's as flamboyant as the stories," said a silver-haired man with an exuberant flair. "Who the hell are you? Where are my friends?" I rubbed my eyes and scowled.

A guy with a snake around his neck, leaning against the door, spoke up. "We're the Hashiras, the highest-ranking members of the Demon Slayer Corps."

My confusion deepened as they all stared at me. "Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked.

A girl with a butterfly hair clip stepped forward. "We've never seen a god before. We're curious," she replied calmly.

"Tell me your names," I demanded, still on edge.

One by one, the Hashiras introduced themselves:

"Uzui Tengen, the Sound Hashira," said the flamboyant man with silver hair.

"Kocho Shinobu, the Insect Hashira," said the girl with the butterfly clip, smiling gently.

"Kyojuro Rengoku, the Flame Hashira," announced a man with fiery red and yellow hair.

"Iguro Obanai, the Serpent Hashira," said a man with bandages covering his mouth.

"Himejima Gyomei, the Stone Hashira," rumbled a towering, muscular man.

"Tokito Muichiro, the Mist Hashira," said a young boy with a distant look in his eyes.

"Shinazugawa Sanemi, the Wind Hashira," growled a man with wild, spiky hair.

"Kanroji Mitsuri, the Love Hashira," said a bubbly girl with pink and green hair.

"Tomiyoka Giyu, the Water Hashira," Tomioka said, nodding to me.

"Giyuu what's happening here?" I called out to the only one I knew, "Ohh~~~" They all sang and just then, there was a knock on the door. A woman in her early thirties or late twenties entered, bowing slightly.

"Miyuki-Sama, I am Amane Ubuyashiki in your service," she said respectfully then turned towards the others. "Leave her to rest."

With that, the Hashiras left, and the girl placed some clothes for me. I got up and groaned in pain, then took a bath and put on the dress, which felt more ornate than necessary. 

There was another knock, and the man from the night before appeared.

"You... Tomoe..." I muttered.

He smiled softly. "I'm glad you recognize me, but unlike you I don't have my memories," he said.

I rubbed my temples. "Yeah... well, how can I forget the child I've cursed," I said bitterly.

Ubuyashiki's smile remained gentle, looking down for a moment. "I guess you're right," he said, extending his hands. "Will you escort me outside?"

I scowled, feeling it was strange to be asked this in his own house, but I took his hands, and we walked out.

"We'll be deciding what to do with your siblings today," he said as we walked through the corridors. "Oh, my name's Kagaya in this timeline."

My expression turned serious hearing about it. "I reckon you make a wise decision," I said firmly.

Ubuyashiki nodded. "We will. Your brother has shown remarkable resilience and determination, and your sister... well, her situation is unique."
