Is This Goodbye?

"..."

"...what?"

I felt my heart shatter.

If Mikey... if something happened to him.

I can't even begin to explain the pain id feel.

"What explosion?? How bad was it- where is he??" I was almost shouting at Tanjiro in desperation, and the sorrowful look on his face wasn't helping me at all.

"...I don't know y/n, I'm sorry. This is my first time being conscious since- oh yeah. After we decapitated both of the upper six, there was a big explosion, like a final suicide bomb."

My heart wasn't beating. It wasn't. I swear. I could barely even breath at this point.

I felt two hands on my shoulders and Sanemis voice in my ear, "Calm down y/n, breathe. We don't know if he's hurt, he could be fine."

I could feel tears forming at the corners of my eyes, but I held them back. He's right, we don't know. All we have is Tanjiros honest word that he was right next to the huge bomb that caused the whole city to fall to the ground. Anything could have happened.

Since I wasn't moving, Sanemi lifted me off the ground and brought me out of my thoughts,        "Y/n, come on, focus. I know today has been really shitty, but we need to find Mikey, right?" I love this man so much.

I nodded, taking a deep breath before saying bye to Tanjiro, (somehow Nezuko was carrying him), and began to search the area once more.

We didn't find Mikey at first, no, we found a purple, one handed Tengen surrounded by his three crying wives.

We went up to them, and Tengen glared at us instantly, "you two sure look hurt."

"Shut the fuck up you little bastard, you-"

"Weve had our own little battle." Sanemi cut me off before I could go off on the stupid grandpa. We both had sucky times I suppose, his physical, mine mental. Except he's like... dying kinda.

No one said anything for a second, until I broke the silence, "What happened to your hand?"

Tengen sighed and threw his head back, "It got cut off, but I of course was able to still fight without it." One of his wives, the blue one, burst into tears again and threw herself onto him. Then they all started crying again.

Tengen kept trying to speak, but two of them kept talking over him. Me and Sanemi just exchanged glances, then returned our attention to this... intrigued scene infront of us.

While all the crying was happening, a little Tanjiroless-Nezuko appeared and walked up next to Tengen. Everyone shut up and watched her as she put her tiny hand on Tengen.

Then set him on fire.

Everyone started yelling and crying again, I honestly just stood there in shock. I never, NEVER, would have dreamed of seeing something like this.

But I did feel joyful.

To everyones surprise though, the purple poison that was eating Tengen alive had started to vanish. The purple looked like it was burning off of his skin, honestly looked really beautiful. Not Tengen, his burning skin.

I stood there for a solid ten seconds, confirmed mentally that Tengen would live, and signaled to Sanemi that we were going to keep looking.

Mikey was yet to be found.

I was starting to enter the stage of anxiety called, "I'm about to have a mental breakdown and start crying on the floor", which I really didn't want to enter.
