Y/N was sitting quietly in her room, enjoying a rare moment of peace, when her crow, Yori, landed on the windowsill with a letter tied to its leg. She quickly untied the letter and read it, her eyes widening with a mix of excitement and concern. The letter informed her that Tanjiro had recovered from his past mission and was now heading to the Mugen Train to investigate the mysterious disappearances of its passengers.

Without wasting a moment, Y/N grabbed a piece of paper and wrote a quick reply, wishing Tanjiro luck and expressing her relief at his recovery. She tied the letter back onto Yori's leg and sent the crow off with a gentle pat. However, before she could even take a breath, Yori returned with another message. This time, it was for her. She was also assigned to the Mugen Train mission.

Y/N groaned in frustration, blaming Yori for the sudden turn of events. "This is all your fault, Yori!" she exclaimed, even though she knew it wasn't true. Yori, feeling unjustly accused, bit her cheek lightly, making her yelp in surprise before flying off again, leaving Y/N rubbing her cheek and muttering under her breath.

With a resigned sigh, Y/N got into her uniform, adjusted her gifted haori, and attached her katana to her side. Just as she was about to leave, she found Obanai standing at her door, his eyes filled with curiosity and a hint of concern.

"Where are you going?" he asked, his voice soft but firm.

"I've got a new mission," Y/N replied, groaning at the thought of it. "I'm heading to the Mugen Train to investigate some disappearances."

Obanai nodded, wishing her the best of luck. Then, nervously, he asked, "Would you like to go out to a restaurant with me afterwards?"

Y/N smiled and nodded, "Sure, I'd love that." She could see the relief and happiness in Obanai's eyes, which made her feel a bit better about the mission ahead. With that, she made her way to the Butterfly Mansion, hoping to catch up with Tanjiro and his friends before they left.

As she approached the mansion, she saw Tanjiro waving goodbye to Naho, Kiyo, and Sumi. She hurried and called out to him. When Tanjiro saw her, he immediately blushed and bowed to greet her.

"There's no need to bow, Tanjiro," Y/N chuckled, finding his politeness endearing. Behind Tanjiro were Inosuke and Zenitsu. Zenitsu immediately took her hand, his eyes sparkling with admiration.

"You look so pretty today, Y/N-chan!" Zenitsu exclaimed, holding her hand tightly while wiggling around.

Y/N smacked Zenitsu with her right hand, causing him to yelp and let go. "Keep your hands to yourself, Zenitsu," she said, though she couldn't help but smile at his antics. Inosuke, pointing at her, said, "You look strong! Fight me!"

Y/N declined with a shake of her head. "Not today, Mr Inosuke. We've got a mission to focus on." She walked ahead, with the boys quickly following behind, their chatter filling the air.

🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️💨💨

As they approached the train station, they noticed the police eyeing them suspiciously because of their swords. Y/N quickly hid hers under her haori and started running, with the others copying her actions. They jumped onto the train from the back, with Tanjiro and Y/N helping Zenitsu up just in time.

Inside the train, they heard a loud noise coming from another car. Y/N smiled in recognition and ran towards the noise, finding Kyojuro Rengoku yelling "UMAI" while eating a delicious meal. She greeted him, and Kyojuro blushed, greeting her back with his usual enthusiasm.

"Y/N! It's good to see you!" Kyojuro exclaimed, his voice booming through the train car.

"It's good to see you too, Kyojuro," Y/N replied, her smile widening. Soon, the other three caught up, confused by the noise. Y/N chuckled and introduced them to Kyojuro, explaining that he was the Flame Hashira and one of her best friends.

Inosuke and zenitsu sat on the seat behind theirs, with inosuke banging on window while zenitsu scolds him.

Tanjiro requests to sit next to Kyojuro to talk about an important topic, in which y/n respected. while Y/N sat across from them, looking out the train window. The scenery blurred past, but her mind was focused on the mission ahead.

"Do you know anything about Hinokami Kagura?" Tanjiro asked Kyojuro, his voice filled with hope. "It's a dance my father performed, even on snowy cold nights while he was sick."

Kyojuro, with his loud booming voice, replied, "I don't know anything about Hinokami Kagura, but I must say, your father must have been an incredible man to perform such a dance under those conditions."

"So, when's the demon gonna pop up?" Y/N asked, her hands on the hilt of her sword.

"It should be somewhere near the train." Kyojuro replied, looking her in the eyes.

"WAIT, WE'RE TRAPPED IN WITH THE DEMON!? I THOUGHT WE WERE MEETING UP WITH IT!! AHHHH!" Zenitsu wailed on the ground.

"Oh, you didn't know?" Y/N sighed.

Zenitsu's wailing increased.

How come no one in the train is complaining? Wait, they're asleep? Not even some.. but everyone?

Y/N heard someone approaching, the person who checked if their ticket was valid.

"Can i see your ticket please?.." His voice was low and he sounded like he hasn't drank water since the meiji period. Oh, and his cheeks were sunken.
She let him check her ticket, as well as the others.

The light's flickered and Y/N sensed a demon near. She grabbed her sword.

"Thank you very much—"

"Conductor, excuse me for the usage of my sword. But could you please back up." Kyojuro unsheathed his sword.

Suddenly, an ugly ass demon appeared. Horns all over it's body. This is not what i meant when i said i like my men big and strong.

Y/N unsheathed her sword also.

"Moon breathing, first form! Dark moon, evening palace."
"Flame breathing, first form! Unknowing fire!" Together, the two decapitated the giant demon.
Moon mixed with fire.

"We're done yet! I sense another demon!" Y/N yelled out, grabbing Kyojuro's hand towards the next train car.

It was another hideous demon, it looks like it was doing a split while hovering over the seats. He attempted to stab a man in which that man dodged.

"Don't even think about touching that man!" Kyojuro shouted, catching the demons attention.

The man quickly hid by a seat, trembling in fear.

"Leave it to me!!" Inosuke yelled, charging at the demon. The demon attempts to slice him, but inosuke dodges and attempts to land a blow on it. Kyojuro ran after him with amazing speed, throwing him on a seat to keep him out the way also grabbing the trembling man to safety.

"Run, get out of sight." Kyojuro told the man before turning back to the demon.
Y/N put her hand on his chest to stop him.

"Don't worry kyo, I've got this!" Y/N unsheathed her sword again, looking at the spider looking demon.

"Moon breathing, Seventh form! Mirror of misfortune, moonlit." Using her katana, Y/N performs a frontal crescent-shaped slash that unleashes numerous straight and curved slashes that expand outward. The demons head came clean off.

"Y/N-san.. that was.. AMAZING! And you too rengoku-san!" Tanjiro exclaimed.
"Please let me tutor under you two!!"

Y/N chuckles, watching how they... started rotating around them?

"Alright!" Kyojuro said, chuckling out loud.

Everyone went back to their seats. Y/N felt dizzy, and so she fell asleep on the seat. Everyone else did so too.
