Author's note: Thank you, everyone, for being so patient for this chapter update! This story has gotten more popular than I had ever anticipated. I can't thank everyone enough for their comments/votes on this story.
The reason for the delay was that I had no idea how to continue the story (as this is my first fanfic in a long while). However, I am now back with some fresh/new ideas for the story, and I hope you all enjoy!

It has been three years since you disappeared from the Demon Cops; you are now 21 years old and a beautiful young woman. You were no longer the same childish girl you were from a few years back.
No one from the Demon Slayer Corps was ever told about your whereabouts, including Giyu and Sanemi. The only ones who knew were Ubuyashiki and Uzui. They had both agreed to help you keep hidden until you were ready to return to the Demon Corps.
You had promised Ubuyashiki that you would keep in contact from time to time. Uzui would be the one who would lead others away as soon as they came close to finding out where you were.
You couldn't help but let your mind wander to the day you left all those years ago.
Flashback
After leaving your estate, you made your way to Ubuyashiki manor to ask to leave the Demon Corps permanently, insisting it was an urgent matter. Ubuyashiki somehow already seemed to know what you wanted to say even before you could get the words to leave your lips.
"(Y/N), take all the time you need, and whenever you are ready, we will accept you back with arms wide open. Do not fret about your choice and please at least stay in contact from time to time", Ubuyashiki said, smiling faintly.
You could feel your bottom lip quiver as tears started to form in the corners of your eyes. You loved the Demon Slayer Corps, but staying is also causing you so much pain, especially with the leading cause of your pain being Sanemi and Giyu.
With your request to leave the Demon Slayer Corp accepted, you refused to look at the look on Ubuyashiki's face, instead focusing your eyes on the floor.
As you were about to move your hand to the handle of your Nichirin blade to give it back, Ubuyashiki moved his hand forward, motioning for you to stop your hand movement, and shook his head to signal he would not accept it.
"You may keep your blade on the condition....I have a feeling you may need it sooner than you think," Ubuyashiki said. Confused by his statement, you nonetheless accepted. Moving your hand back to your side, you bowed goodbye to Ubuyashiki and made your way to the entrance.
Hoping to start your new life and hopefully leave your problems behind.
Flashback end
You felt a rush of emotions coursing through your body just thinking about the past, and shook your head, trying to focus on anything else.
Somehow, you were able to keep hidden all these years without getting noticed, all thanks to Uzui. He would often notify you beforehand if Giyu or Sanemi were on a mission in the area where you resided.
Thanks to that information, you had only a few close calls and saw glimpses of Giyu from afar. From the glimpses of Giyu you've seen, he seemed different — stoic and unapproachable. You clenched your hand to your chest, knowing that you were the cause of that change.
