(Tanjiro POV)

I was helping Kanao pack her things because the couple adopting her are waiting in the living room.

The silence between us was killing me. I don't want our last moments to be silent, so I spoke up "Do you know what they look like?"

She shook her head no, "I'm sure they are nice!" I exclaim trying to cheer her up, Nezuko then put her fist in the air I'm guessing signaling to keep fighting.

We finished packing in a hour, it was time to meet her adoptive parents. Hello Kanao, I'm Shinobu Kocho" the woman spoke softly almost gracefully. She was really pretty too, almost like a butterfly. "I'm Giyu Tomioka" the man beside her nonchalantly replied.

Kanao hid behind me gripping tightly onto my kimono. "I apologize she's not used to talking to others she's spoken to well only me and Nezuko" I say politely as I bow to show my respect for the two standing in front of me.

Kocho is the butterfly pillar and Giyu... He's apart of the demon slaying corps... The water pillar hashira he's the one who helped me and Nezuko. He told me to become a demon slayer for the sake of my sister.

I've never told Kanao. I've hid that for so long.
The Butterfly pillar then cut me out of my thoughts by saying

"Oh it's quite alright we don't expect her to get used to us on the spot" she spoke honest words. "Ready?" Giyu asked keeping things simple.

Kanao tackled me in a hug, she really likes to tackle me huh. I'm going to miss this... "I'll see you soon" she whispered in my ear I hugged her tightly never wanting to let go. "I'll be waiting" my voice slightly cracked.

We let go of the hug then she turned to the adults in front of us. She grabbed my hand, once she did I walked her closer to Kocho. I made a motion to hold out her hand, I placed Kanao's hand in Kocho's. "she likes holding my hand when she's nervous, stressed, sad, I think you get the point"

I bowed once more "Please take good care of her" I mumbled while they were walking out I smiled until Kanao was out the door then..., I ran to my room flopping onto my bed letting the feelings I bottled up during those few minutes let loose.

We'll see eachother again... Right? (Tanjiro x Kanao)Where stories live. Discover now
